Glad to hear you're on board, apart from your accusation that the show is for creepers. It's rather innocent series -
Ah, I've just seen those screen caps for the OVA. I stand corrected.

I think you mean episode 02, right?
hmmm....
My bad. A mistype. Still making gif's for 03.
GuP is mecha.
I miss that animation. I really do.
What is it that you don't like about it?
Tendo from Grenadier used her boob bounce to reload the gun. So what it lacks in distance reflected, it makes up in amazing application of the bounce.

Fuck! Now I'm going to have to watch Gunbuster again
Damnable conditioned responses ;_;
There you go. there's one example. An amazing one.
Japan has created applications for boobs that mankind had not conjured yet. they are way ahead of the curve.

Funny that they mention the "astronauts seeing flashes of light" thing. I remember hearing that such phenomenon was explained due to how reduced gravity and pressure effects the fluids inside the eyeballs. It almost certainly has nothing to do with UFOs!
Also shit just got real.

I don't wanna get into since I'm typing on my phone - but it just didn't click with me. Tested my patience with little reward. Didn't care for the kind of dialog or topics, didn't like the visual presentation, hated the pacing. What I loved where the characters. Kanbaru is smokin hot, and her monkey arm is so sexy. Hachikuji is so good! Snake girl and everyone.
Guess ill stick with doujin instead.

Asura's Wrath 11.5
Damn, Asura got fucked up, but then he fucked things up. Where was that big ass arm during the rest of the game? Would have helped against those fuckin turtles.

Now that we've got at least a handful of simulcast titles announced, might as well crank out another one of these suckers. Will update as new developments occur.

Great game and would be a cool anime movie based off the true ending.
Haven't watched them yet but I'm under the impression Kamille doesn't get mindfucked at the end of the movies.
Nothing really compelling yet aside from SnW3.

Bad episode. Hyouka mysteries get flack for being mundane and boring but this makes the 'who was _______ in that ____ with the ___' episode look positively murderous. Enjoyed the first half, at least; later characterization enhanced enjoyment. Don't blame people for dropping the show at this point.
Still the anime of the year.

I don't get what's going on.

Yes. This episode is the worst. but it does get a whole lot better shortly afterwards.
Stay with it.

That one was easily one of the best episodes yet, or maybe I'm just biased because we've all been in that situation before. I only wish real life were as optimistic as here.
;_; Good job Makabe-san! Kappe!
I know. Its one of my top 3 shows of the year. So fucking good. Who cares about the animation quality when its that good.

I don't think that's fair. The
moon-landing sequence
I try watching anime while reading manga sometimes. Doesn't really work.
In related news I just noticed I crossed 500 anime completed on my MAL list.
This episode is probably one of my personal top ten favorite episodes of any show from the entire year. The combination of everything at the end of the episode was just perfect:
Kenji's cheeky grin as he revealed the truth, his wife going from anxiety to sheer exhilaration, celebrating together as a family, the show's main theme playing triumphantly, and the final monologue about the blue suit and sky
I agree. It really deserves better production values.

What do we love more than a Kugiloli outburst?
LOVE TRIANGLE DRAMA.
The fight at the end wasn't bad, but dear lord, was the first half of the episode just cringe worthy.

500 manga and 500 anime. I don't know how you have the time to eat and sleep, but congrats!
Who the hell bothers to eat and sleep here? Lets be realistic.
Damn stragiht. I have media consumption quotas to fill.
Some people just don't understand priorities.
One Piece: Episode of Nami
I've been trying to get into One Piece recently, but the glacial pace in the early episodes (which I've been lead to believe does not let up) and the sheer length of the show have been rather discouraging. I got about half a dozen episodes in but the drag was getting to me. I'd heard that the Arlong Park Arc was where the show got really good, so between that and all the mentions of Episode of Nami in the Anime of the Year thread I decided to give the roughly two-hour TV special a try.
My verdict? It was pretty good, and I really enjoyed it. I have a vague familiarity with the concept of One Piece from people I know who have watched it so even though I hadn't seen the official introductions of most of the characters it didn't feel too jarring. The story itself was surprisingly emotional and engaging. If I had to name a weak spot, however, it would be the endless fight scenes without tension. I guess that's what happens when I know ahead of time that the main characters have to survive for hundreds of future episodes. Still, it was definitely worth the time it took to watch and I appreciated getting to see a fast-paced, non-dragging version of an One Piece arc I'd heard a lot about.
So anyway, I'm not entirely sure where to go with One Piece after this. My current thought is that I might go back to the original episodes and pick up with the Loguetown Arc, which I believe takes places right after Arlong. I'm hopeful that it will drag less than the introductory episodes once all the major characters are introduced and that more interesting things will happen more frequently. One Piece was the only one of the Big Three that I hadn't tried before and so far it feels like it has a lot of potential.
Don't blame me: this was the first result on Google Image search.

I do have to admit that I had a hard time taking this shot seriously, though.

As far as these 3-minute short episodes go this was good stuff. Not a lot of room, obviously, but within that short runtime it manages to setup the friendship, the fear of heights, and most importantly, the trauma and the LOVE OF MOUNTAINS. Surprisingly competent. Will keep watching.

You can watch anime when you eat. You can watch K-On when you sleep.
That was for Jman. RIP.

There are still pacing issues and the arc right after Loguetown is a really bad filler that can be skipped.
If length is a big problem, I'd recommend reading the manga if you're a manga reader. If not, well I guess you'll have to deal with the anime, which is definitely not bad if you have the patience for it, and it definitely gets a lot better all around when the Arlong arc happens and stays that way mostly all the way up to the present story outside of filler and a few rough spots here and there.
You also might want to go back and watch (or at least skim through) the Baratie arc. It is kind of important since it introduces the Shichibukai.

Dang! The pin tac has been a favorite bully tool for Japanese anime girls for decades. Any cultural touchstone that would explain this or is it just a trope that people have chosen to run with?

What do you mean? Can you list examples? I cant think of any.
