Well yeh, should've been Attack of the Titans if we wanted a pragmatically correct English title.
But glorious nippon mangakas gonna Engrish.
Though, again, by now the wrong 'Attack on Titan' has grown on me. The title above would be generic as fuck and this one has a bit of mystery/uncertainty in it, since it's not immediately apparent what the anime would really be about.

It seems OnePunch Man Anime is gonna air in October.
Hmmmmm this is nerve racking it should air next year because the amount of animation budget needed would be huge to make it good. Unless they are going with One's style during sol comedic parts and then go Murata style during fight scenes.

Though I liked it, enough to go on to the manga to get the rest of the story.
Lol. Why have expectations when it comes to anime. Just expect the worst out of everything and hope for the best. Less disappointment and bitterness that way!
I haven't read too far, only two volumes or so, but the manga isn't atrocious to the point of being unsalvagable. The worst part is easily the art in that half of it as BassForever would point out, "looks like a bunch of scribbles".
There are a lot of fun fantasy elements that should really be in Matsumoto's area of expertise coming from Kyousougiga. I really want to see how that alien chess stuff is depicted.
Really the big flag for me is that I'm not familar with the writer but I am familiar with the shitty writing in BONES related works.

Did Captain Earth break you?
But they on counter anyway, tbh the complaint feel like nitpick.

Trust me my expectations are really low considering that all of Young Jumps manga series that get a anime adaptation are shit.
And since OnePunch Man is from Young Jump magazine the anime has a high chance of being bad.

I really enjoyed JoJo's first arc, it had that awesome old school feel and everyone was a gentleman, perfect ending too, I can't wait until it gets fabulous.

Sure does suck to be Shiro, but there really is something terrifying about a giant robot head trying to comfort a crying child.

I hope not, losing lead characters is one of the worst literary mistakes someone can make.I wish for Buddyfight to continue to be immune from bad writing.

Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's Episode 8
Jack really needs a rematch instead of facing these losers.
Didnt realize that is what the 5D's stood for in the name. Should have realize that sooner based on the ED visual at the end.

Man...just finish watching the last episode and this show is great. Love quite a few things in this show from music, to character development, pacing of the story and many more. I can now see why when the show release in North America, it was quite a hit during that time.
I am not going to write too long here of what I like but here is a very brief of what I think.
For the music, I like the mix of hip-hop, rhythm & blues while at the same time mixing it with traditional Japanese music. It sound quite right in this show and quite a few of the song playing become important during important scene which make the mood even more stunning. For animation, it look great and still age well after 11 years when it was 1st shown. For the character development, they did it well on all three main characters. You have quite a bit of feeling for all of them. The amount of info you learn during the show about them make it more emotional once it reach the climax as you don't want anyone of them to die. The pacing is great. They mix quite a bit of everything in the show while at the same time don't feel like a drag as you watch it. You might watch something very serious and sad tone like the blind lady episode and then jump into comedy when you go watching the baseball episode. This keep the show fresh and moving so you don't feel like a drag as you watch.
Lastly, the show have almost everything you need to grab almost any audience, from comedy which is clever, to sword slashing fight, to emotional movement which still stick with you after you finish watching the show. Would recommend everyone to watch this show as it's great in so many ways.
Now, I am off going to watch my next show which will be Kite and Kite Liberator. Need to get that show done.

He doesn't have to lose all the time you know, a few times will do just fine! It's just very boring and predictable if a character never loses anything. Everyone has their flaws and should lose a couple of times to build themselves up as a character. No matter which way you cut it a 27-0 record in 61 episodes is not good writing in the slightest.
The thing is from the people I know who watch and follow Buddyfight they are really more concerned with Tasuku and not Gao. From the time I watched it he was the more interesting of the main cast and I'm still surprised he isn't the main character of the show.

I just wanted to say what i think but for now i'll just copy & paste from another forom:
^^^^^^ Congrats that's a REALLY GREAT PLAN LOL
Ah Akagi , so many death flags ..and you triggered them all
This was a nice episode , with a last part filled with hopes and crushing despair ... Next week should be the time for a fate defying asspull of epic proportions.

Testament of Sister New Devil BURST, S2 of the show that's nearly done, will be getting a part 2 in the fall. More Mio, more Maria, more Yuki, more heroes in suburbia.

The scene where Migi came back was god damn perfect. Gotou's design is great too, and the conversation they had regarding his death was great. Sad that there is only one left.

I need, why are the best things anime japan exclusive
I dont see any best thing in this post. Only abomination.
Very nice looking Nausicaa set! Im jelly!
Oh god the quality didnt so much drop as it plummeted off a Peruvian cliffside.
The entire art style changed. the story is bad. the pacing is bad. They stuffed fanservice crap in it. Its just horrendous. I still bought it because I like GSG and torturing myself.
I think he did. School Days kind of overshadowed it.
Oh well, anyone who hasnt should.
Great show. Really quite surprisingly good. NISA released a cute box set.
Nonsense.
Congrats on acquiring the second best anime series of all time!
I am ok with this!
Yes, you should watch Yona of the Dawn. Preferably as soon as possible. Its fantastic.
It is not really. If anything a reverse harem and not really even that. Yona is morel ike Twelve Kingdoms or Saiunkoku Monagatari. Much more serious than it seems on the surface. Its a strange vibe, because the show will sometimes go almost chibi/SD with Yona's reactions and its very cute but then horrible horrible things happen to her and others. Really odd clash of emotions.
The SAVE covers can be reversed. I didnt even realize at first but it made me appreciate them more when I found out.
After all of that, I thought that I'd post an update relevant to the UK (no, its not Yuru Yuri
More at the link.
Back to some US related news, I guess the Sailor Moon Crystal BluRay has a bunch of errors and shit Link
Loads more at the link above.
Beautiful set. Glad the UK didnt get shafted with this show. Pretty much every release of KLK has been stellar.
And on the opposite side of things, that Sailor Moon Crystal bluray is a damned joke. They really REALLY screwed up the show. Massive disappointment.
I have that artbox set actually. Its pretty nice. Not sure if OniAi deserves packaging that nice but w/e.
lol what is this shit?
Love you Kavey. Im really glad you are enjoying yourself with animu.
Negative. This is my harem and youre all invited!
Hnnnnnng
I love DAL character design.
Oh you like it alright. Youll like it till you LOVE it.
Marathon - shows with a fascinating/addictive narrative. Lots of cliffhangers. Screw waiting. Steins Gate, Accel World, Parasyte, Madoka Magica, Yuuki Yuuna
week to week - shows like Hidamari Sketch, Yuru Yuri, Nisekoi that sorta thing. Gets kind of tedious if you watch too much at once due to slower pacing and different scenarios episode to episode.
Not particularly.
Congrats on reaching the good part of Hyouka. enjoy the trip!
Hug Misaki for me!
lol same here. I have several things I havent even opened yet. Im really bad about this.
But I have a collector mentality also. As well a fear of things getting discontinued, which they often do in the anime world.

Man I really need to get back into watching Serial Experiment Lain and finishing it off... right after I catch up with Agents of SHIELD.
Why? why are you doing this to yourself
I have no idea what this is but it doesnt particularly stand out.
Whats the plot?
SOLD. Well if they bring it here and if I decide suddenly that I need a vita. Which I dont.
Yup they went there. I need to start watching episode two at some point. Maybe Im just scared.
Come on give us more credit than that!
as if we'd waste such an idea on stupid Kirino
How about that opening shot huh?
Miku is so flabbergasted her cat ears fell off. Shit is real.
Shit got pretty real in Binan 11:
Although the best moment was easily the visual gag included in the bottom right hand side of the end card:
Binan - still a good show.
This is quite literally a genderbent mahou shoujo. Its the craziest thing.
Also from the couple episodes Ive seen its not really bad either.
Oh my god what a cutie!
Is that the aircraft carrier one?
Turin Turambar got it right. No mutilation, nor rape. Just a rough-shod cavity search. Unpleasant, certainly, especially considering Jill's robo-arm but while the scene was past suggestive, the activity itself was not sexual in nature in any way or form.
The blood on Ange was her mothers.
Funny how people interpret the same scenes in so many different ways.

The attempt to turn this into some moral lesson about polluting earth is so incredibly poorly done and out of place.

Gyan fans are a dying breed. We need to stick together.
The only competition that day is Try. It was never really a contest.
Yeah. I breezed through Season 1 but cannot seem to even watch episode 2 of season 2. I dont really like the main girl in this one as much. Plus no Eila. total fail.
I...might have to watch this. Why is it so cute? is it necessary?
Congrats Zachy.
I wish I had your determination to slog through R. It is a massive obstacle.
Chuuni is fun. DAL2 is kinda forgettable. Mayo Chiki has one good scene which I will post so nobody has to watch it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ql2A3J8Egac
There now youve seen all you need to see.
Yeah they really are. Very good quality little pillows. The store really appreciated the boost too. They have all kinds of goodies. bags, clothes, cards, plushies, clocks, cups, thermos, funkopops, mousepads, pillows, keychains, wallscrolls, dakimakuras..
Why is it that a show like this gets a sequel and much more deserving series dont? It wasnt even that popular was it?
The Tatami Galaxy 1
This was on my list ever since I finished Ping Pong and loved it.
This show so far is one of the more difficult experiences I've had in terms of following this subs while actually watching the show since the dude talks so goddamn fast and because the art is so good. I like the environments and Ozu's devilish design in particular.

Kancolle is most disappointed show of the season, the fact that it's already went wrong since Jukki Hanada in charge the plot and even let Hiroyuki Yoshino join to the staff.
Some people say "don't take the plot serious" i understand that, but the problem is they try to make the plot serious and then also try to "not forget the moe fans" and make the pace super strange.
Also it's not a show "for Kancolle players(TTK)" anyone(which seems it's what they are aiming since start) since most TTKs are the most unhappy group with the show, and the reviews in Amazon JP is getting Tales of Zestiria level.

Strike Witches is simply "fuck the history" and let every nation joint the same team, which Kancolle seems kinda/not sure/maybe will add or not add the Allies ships in future, who knows.
Well maybe in future if this web game
