I'll get started on it right now.
Awesome! Get on the Ultra Happy hype train!
Given industry trends, that's a bit like saying "I bet all the characters in this anime will have big eyes!". I mean, duh, of course she'll be one of those things, it's a LN adaptation
Ironically you have posted the two images from the news reports which don't explicitly confirm the new GitS anime
Written by Urobouchi Gen who is known for killing characters and dark stories. You tell me man!
I hope you enjoy it. Yayoi is mind-melting adorable. Just a warning.

Well played.
Wait. Wut.
Well I start watching this because of Yayoi, my body is ready.
Kyoto Animation did it again, the influx of scout corps from the expeditionary force is still continuing... the real arrival of the hordes will be soon in there:

The return of the Fidelio Lady! Yeah... Geneijin, be sure to make a come back for the vania600 pin-up girl and her MDR-CD900ST headphones as well!
Beautiful recording equipment there, but a PCM-D1 would have been even cooler to achieve a maximum "snob" effect.
You forgot ">mfw I have no face"...
because I remember you used to have an avatar... isn't it?
What's wrong with her faaaaaaaaaceNow you've kinda got me worried they'd pull a Magi and get Yoshino to do it. ;_;

Ahaha
Oh, I get it now! I didn't realize you were going that direction with your wordplay, I was thinking along different lines. Sorry.
I also forgot about that in relation to The Girl Who Leapt Through Time.
Well I've made a note of both now.
Sunrise? Well I'll most likely be buying Akito at the end of this month.

You basically are at the same place I am. lolSakuraso - 14
Ugh, this show has been on a downward spiral since episode 12, although to give episode 12 credit, it was more of the kinect crap being such a cringe worthy and painful thing to watch, but it was a device that progressed things along despite being poor in execution.
13 and 14 however, who hit the fucking reset button? You could replace these episodes with the corresponding earlier episodes in the first half and you couldn't tell a damn lick of difference between them, and Sorata's pissing me off that I hope this show gets a forever alone ending with him so it's his Kanna tears I'll be licking, the way he stops having a chip on his shoulder towards Shiina the momentmakes him come off as an abusive husband who only stops beating his wife when he gets what he wants.he passes the preliminary stage of the game design competition,
Right now I'm at the #toleratewatch stage, but if they don't do something other than tell the same cycle of a storyline just to fill the next 10 episodes, the stupid OCD side of me is going to complete this in #hatewatch o' vision. Fucking halfway point. >_<
Endless Eight is a gimmick that only works once. The impact is lost on subsequent viewings.
Hence the conflicted comment! I admire the fact that they even attempted it.
Man, Ubukata being involved in any capacity would just about be hype-killing for me. Having seen Fafner and the first two Mardock Movies, well...let's just say the man shouldn't be allowed near science fiction ever again.
Straight out of one of them LN title generators.

I've never actually finished it, despite even having bought the S2 DVD collection.
Wish he'd time them better though. He only seems to post them when I'm at work. I can't be seen admiring images at work. I have to work.
You call it spam, the rest call it generosity.
If anything, your links are the ones that could cause the mind to break HA HA HA.

Well, it's more Haruka in particular. But I guess shows I don't care about, like the two kugiloli shows (Zero and Shana) just ended with a whimper as well.
If it was a simple matter of fans being bored, they wouldn't bother animating new episodes in the first place and just keep the conclusion to the LN/manga ghetto. Hundreds of harem shows only get one cour and end on a cliffhanger that doesn't hint any kind of conclusion, because that's just how it is nowadays.
Then again, I'm just pulling the aging out theory out of the blue. There's probably some medium of the general fan aging out of the anime market and the hardcore fan being bored with the property that keeps a franchise popular enough for a final season but not popular enough for that final season to have any sales. It's just an interesting phenomenon that I don't really know how to explain.
Well, one theory would be that Haruka and other harems from even a few years ago have become outdated in some way. Either the girl tropes are unpopular, the art design looks dated (and Haruka does look like jank), or something else entirely.
And the other theory...
I'd bring up here. So in that quote, I was speaking of harems in general. The fact that harem shows only need to last one cour and offer no conclusion seems to point to the ADD nature of the anime fan that jumps from one bandwagon to the next.
If all you need is a tsundere girl and a kuudere girl and an onee-san and whatever else is there, and every season there's a new show that offers those tropes to you with new characters, there's really no reason to stick to a single show after you've experienced those tropes. If the actual characters and the story becomes disposable in the face of trope-whoring, then that might explain why so many harems are unresolved in anime form and why people don't really care.
(Well, ignoring the fact that anime is an ad for the source material any way).
I dunno, I just find the whole idea of legacy franchises interesting, especially since the time to death is so fast. I mean, there was a two year gap between the Batman movies and people were happy to wait, so why are anime fans that much more fickle when it comes to their nerd porn?
I think it's fair to recognize its important when it aired but see it as a gimmick after the fact. It's like whenever an American TV show does a "live" episode. Watching it live, it is supposed to be exciting because they can screw up at any time (it's really not). Watching it on DVD, it looks like a lower budget version of the real show. I rewatched some of The West Wing and the live debate was a bit of a mess at points. Especially the parts where the audience were supposed to react to the candidates.

Not looking forward to this. At all, after looking at the staff.
OST will out-sell the anime
The balls they had to do it in the way they did, it was just amazing.
I'm willing to bet money that the OST will completely outclass the anime.
What about Chevalier. Have you watched that?
Does it even work if you didn't watch it when it was airing? I haven't watched S2 of Haruhi yet and were I to watch it now, I would more than likely skip to the end of E8 because as far as I'm aware the differences between each of the episodes is negligible(?)
Are those both adaptations?
I have and I wish I hadn't wasted my time.

If all I get is a great OST out of it then I'll still be happy.
Fafner is an anime original creation, but iirc, Ubukata only stepped in from the second half of the first series.
Mardock Scramble is an adaptation of his own novel series. Fafner (and Chevalier D'Eon, incidentally) is an original work.

Oh man, I forgot to bring up how stupid it was that the only way to
confess to Jin was to do this.
Infact the whole Jin x Misaki part never made sense,
If it was supposed to draw parallels with Shiina and MC, then it failed miserably at making any sense at all.
Of course it loses impact because it's deeply ingrained into the mind by halfway.

It's been so long since I watched Fafner...I remember it not doing much for me, but I don't really remember why outside of the Hirai character designs. However, the BD collection's only $30 on Amazon so I thought about picking it up for the hell of it and giving it another shot.
Ubukata also helped create Heroic Age, which people always forget about, because it's so forgettable!
That was another show that I somewhat hated because of how dull and boring it is.
I just finished Shiki after watching the final three episodes today and it is certainly one of my favorite anime.
It is essentially a horror tragedy and it handles several things quite well A) atmosphere B) it makes the monsters to be scary at least some of the time. C) the tragedy is quite well done and the scale of tragedy and the events that are happening is also impressive D) comes off as something quite unique. E) focuses on multiple characters and provides interesting differing perspectives of character, morality and coping with the situation F) It is an interesting morally story. G)
H) has succesfull and focused world building.
The biggest problem is that incoherent priest character he was not handled that well, his character is just not that interesting to the extend that it makes any sense. I was also slightly disappointed by the ending. And I guess some of the attempt for sympathy for the antagonist although does work somewhat, at the same time it also seems kind of forced and does not work entirely.

the story does not shy at all from killing characters.

Then why am I still alive?
See.They're allowed. Still no to furries though.
ಠ_ಠ The first time you showed me that I was about to go to sleep. No man should see something like that at 1:30 in the morning.
Why is he talking about the Kirito Nendoroid?IRC =
Name edited out to save his poor soul.
And I need to learn not to click on instinct at work. Thank God close tab is just one quick sweep.
Little known fact. When you see the top of a man's boxers, he'll also never be able to get married. So many lonely men in the future. ;__;
