Does anyone remember this Golgo 13 ripoff that aired around 2006? Brah kept snapping his fingers and saying "za bomba" ? Please?

Gaiking: Legend of Daiku Maryu - 15
Oh wow, they actually made some progress as to finding Daiya's father. Like, I know the title to this ep said there'd be a clue, but I certainly wasn't expecting that kind of info from this episode.

Interesting bit of foreshadowing going on here. Looks like one of the generals is plotting something unbeknownst to the others.

not gonna lie, 60 fps anime looks like water colors, would watch.
I have a love/hate thing with Aniplex releases. I like most of their bluray releases but I hate what they do with DVD. They release bare bones DVD and charge a premium. For their premium blurays they usually are on point with extras.
Anime...has changed
use an interpolator to eradicate pulldown judder rather than a 24hz (or multiples of) compatible monitor/smooth motion brehs

This show has literally zero right to be this good. None what so ever. It's short (3 min/episode), funny as fuck, lewd as all hell, and loaded to the brim with anime and manga references, but, at the same time, it's really touching and surprisingly honest. After the first few episodes it gets pretty real. And it doesn't look all that bad either (aside from one strange single episode art change). Simplistic, but so good.

Yeah the really otaku moments in the humor detracted from the over-all show, but it still was surprisingly good. Definitely one of the nice little gems of last season.
Its an underrated gem this season
juri is such a fantastic character imo
i cannot fault utena for many things, but not giving juri the exposure she deserves is one of them
the utena-klk parallels have always interested me: i saw ikuhara having influence not just on the existence & structure of the klk student council, but also on how some of its members are characterized

Not nearly as amusing as Episode 1 or 2, but still passable (and 5 minutes total).

I didn't think I would like her at all, but she's pretty stellar so far.
She's basically the cherry on top.
Cross Ange is easily the best in that regard.
Aldnoah isn't even half of Cross Ange's insanity. It's more like waiting for everyone to despair, so all their moves are hilarious because you know it's going to end bad.
Cross Ange starts out with Ange getting a forced
rectal probing
Cross Ange actually gets a decent story too, even though the premise is ultimately stupid. There's a guy named Embryo. There's lesbians. There's a guy who always falls into the naked crotch of our beloved protagonist in a manner that nearly rivals Yuki Rito's prowess. There's CG mechs. There's mindbreaking. There's death. There's a woman named after a lizard. Every week is highly entertaining, each situation more ridiculous than the last, and you can't help but love the show for being goofy as hell sometimes, because it's easily one of the most entertaining shows this season on those dumb moments alone.
I like Cross Ange.
Nooooo
Lal'c arc>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Noriko arc (Did she even have one ? It's just your standard from zero to hero through h̶a̶r̶d̶ ̶w̶o̶r̶k̶ nepotism)
The best ending in the history of endings alone makes it a 8,94 Inazuna Kicks out of 10.

Well, it's hitting all the regular plot points that I would expect. Not that that's a bad thing, since it does it well.

God, this show is so fucking cool. There's an overall atmosphere to the thing that I feel like is really well done at times, it's able to use its warm color scheme and smooth, mellow soundtrack to capture perfectly the essence of that stereotypical uptown jazz bar feel. This being done particularly well in the bowling episode. But really what's impressed me the most is the author finding so many ways to keep this formula fresh. He's crafted a world and basic premise for the show that flexible enough to avoid stagnation while being able to drop little nuggets of information that imply the progression of a larger overarching plot. But it's that juggling between the scenarios of the different contestants, the methodology of each week's "game", as well as the slight "behind the scenes" looks into the arbiters and their own distinct personalities that has been the real highlight of the show up until this point. I almost feel like the first couple episodes do the show a serious disservice as they imply a much more melodramatic or gruesome tone to a series that's really gone out of its way to dispel those preconceived notions.
It's a hell of a lot of fun.

Nice to meet you too ! Welcome to AnimeGaf !
Eren sure is annoying but at least when he gets
into the titan
All the members of Shinichi's harem are terrible characters.
It is on my radar but I think my next try will be ehhhh War in the Pocket ? Not sure if I think of the correct title here. The short, grounded and depressing one.
G Gundam is a long one and I'm not sure if the whole tournament thing is for me.
Don't worry, I don't think I understood it either.
Boogiepop Phantom 05
Gradually, I've come to embrace and cherish the weird ass info dumps in shows like this one. They allow me to make some semblance of sense as to what in the name of God has happened up till this point. And here with the use of harrowing repetition, a tale of
artificial humans, murders and some secret ass Illuminatiesque society

I also like both but I have a preference for Diebuster as well.
Nice, Porco Rosso is my favorite Miyazaki film (Not seen The Wind Rises yet *gasp*), so I had to buy that as soon as it was available to replace my aging DVD. I remember the first time I saw Porco, I literally fell in love with the soundtrack, like I was super emotional, couldn't sleep and felt the same way as I would if I had fallen in love with a girl. Haven't listened to it in a while, wonder if I was just delirious or if it still holds up. Sad I know...but I love that film
Pom Poko was an interesting one, still not sure if I liked it, or the trippyness of it all sent me out of whack, but I'd like to say that I liked it over all and found it endearing if anything. Awesome soundtrack too and a nice message.
Only Yesterday is my favorite Ghibli film, so please don't remind me that I don't own the Blu-ray as it makes me sad
(I do have the DVD as well as Ocean Waves however!) That's next on my list, after Kaguya gets a release in the UK. I don't know if they'll release Only Yesterday on Blu-ray in the UK, maybe along with Kaguya with a UK release of the amazing Takahata box-set perhaps?I love both, Gunbuster is my favorite show of all time, tied with the Patlabor series, but I really enjoyed Diebuster too. I watched it all in one sitting, and man the ending had me sobbing.
Phew a lot of talk about my favorites!
Lal'C's character arc is immensely satisfying, so much so that I ended up believing that Nono was actually a false protagonist.
That's not even a contest!

Only yesterday has been screwed over western releases for years. If you'd chosen to get one JP BD it would be your best bet. lolOnly Yesterday is my favorite Ghibli film, so please don't remind me that I don't own the Blu-ray as it makes me sad
Might get a UK BD sooner rather than later. US people are kinda fucked though.
Edit: clarity
Yeah I've always had my mind set on importing it anyways, so I have no qualms in regards to double dipping if it does come out in the UK too, being the best Ghibli film and all that
Plus the fact that Only Yesterday never got a dub means that I'm not missing out on anything feature wise one would assume. I plan to buy all of the Japanese Blu-rays eventually, in due time!nearly threw it out the window when crossdressing lil bro turned up but jesus what a ride
real turning point was the episode they take care of the niece for the day. fantastic after that.

All, or at least almost all the JP BDs have all the dubs included anyway. The Castle in the Sky one is also the only one that has proper subtitles and both the Eng Dub AND the dub soundtrack. (US had dubtitles and the dub + original OST, JP has real subs plus 2 versions of the eng sound)Yeah I've always had my mind set on importing it anyways, so I have no qualms in regards to double dipping if it does come out in the UK too, being the best Ghibli film and all that
Wasn't Imaishi only an animator on Diebuster?
Well Im sold. thanks BEAR
I hope you enjoy!

Most JP BDs are region free.
I don't think I've ever had a Japanese anime BD from anyone which hasn't been happy to work on a Zone B player. Makes me wonder if there's anything which is actually Zone A only...
American stuff in the big annoyance, which is why I didn't import YuruYuri in the end. :/

I blame Japan and leech UK companies who only repackage other people's releases.
The UK anime business is pretty sad for the most part then again so is most of the west.
If only everything out of Japan had subs I'd get much less motivation...
I still cant believe that series isnt out in UK.
