So all your SAO talk is trolling right
Lawerance of Arabia.
At least Cajun made it to a certain point i.e where it turned into pure shit and never recovered.
Nonsense. Troll or not, I will bite!
My personal gripe is reserved for the ending.
I must have misplaced my calendar, because this is opposite day, right? RIGHT!?
I suppose so, but at least they arent being judgemental about a show without giving it a chance first.
I wasnt a fan of the visuals, but thats not why I dont like it.
Favorite to win Anime of the Year here too, did you know
I think the amount of SAO voting in the thread has slowed down quite a bit though.
The thing is, most people really don't have enough time or energy to watch everything out there. We need some filters to decide what we give a chance and what we don't. For example, I have pretty much no interest in Lucky Star because the art just looks so...blah. It's not the moe necessarily, they just look weirdly drawn. So saying "fuck moe shit" may be a bit over the top, but we all need filters to decide where we invest our time.
Speaking of which, now I'm interested. You've watched so much anime over your life, but how do you filter what you do and don't watch?
That's only because I didn't vote yet.
Are you really going to vote for SAO? That is the question.
Well, it looks they finally formally announced the US release for Tokyo Magnitude 8.0, both dub and sub, BD/DVD in April.

This separates the men from the boys, and so on.
Idolm@ster-Puchimas!
Hmm, I guess with watching The Idolm@ster I just thought the Producer, or P, would be voiced by Kenji Akabane again but when he talked I could tell it was Junji Majima instead. Well, I think he could do Producer-san quite fine based on his character type.
Being a fan of Idolm@ster I think my only complaint is that I personally wouldn't mind if these little episodes were a little bit longer. I guess it works with the whole idea of things being petite though.

Haha, me neither. I think it was Hitokage wanted duckroll to have a furry type avatar for when Wolf Children came out and that was the avatar he first had before switching to the one of the plushy. I just quickly thought upon seeing it that he might have switched back but then immediately thereafter saw your name was all.
Ah, okay. Well I like her voice work so that will give me something to look forward to then when going back to watch some different anime shows.
Yeah, I'm personally definitely liking these first episodes of Crest of the Stars so far.
Okay, if I think of it when I get around to that point I'll let you know. Hopefully my Crest of the Stars remarks have been okay. I'm not really trying to be super articulate or anything, just writing down some thoughts and observations I had about the episodes.
Oh yeah, now that you mention it! Now I get the meaning behind your tag. You're right as well, it's part way through the episode where Jinto asks her what her name is.

Ayako Kawasumi used to be everywhere... she used to get lead character/female and main female roles all the time. But like all seiyuus her time passes (or should I say marketbility is down) and the only main roles she gets this days are in sequels to shows she's already got those roles for. Her only main role of 2012 was Saber and she was casted as her back in 06... same for 2011 with part 1 of Fate/Zero. Her role as Tomomi Saikyo from Ladies versus Butlers! from 2010 is probably the last main character role she actually "won"
If Hayate no Gotoku's anime production stops being stupid and finally decides to animate the best part of the manga she'll get a main character role in that show since she's credited too Athena from J.C Staff's season of Hayate. (Assuming it doesn't get recast of course)
I've only watched upto the 4th episode of the second season (Banner), it's really good stuff, hope you enjoy the rest of it.

If you do let me know what you think. And they really do suck.

Firehawk12 and Cajun need an adult before crossing the community/off topic intersection then.
Makes sense. Who wants to be their chaperon?
It's not that I am against moe, just don't feel any attachment watching deformed underage girls.
Give me well defined/clean characters, plain or classical look if you wanna refer to it like that. Shows like Fate/Zero, Darker Than Black, Full Metal, LOGH, any goddamn shonen out there and I will be more than happy.
No need to go all artsy fartsy on my ass just to get a point.
I admit that I misremembered your post and I apologize for that. I haven't seen any of Madoka's art (or at least wouldn't recognize any of it), so I can't really comment on the "deformed" part, though it may not be all that unrelated to my disinterest in Lucky Star. The point about the filters still stands, though.
I notice they can't make up their mind to write UK or United Kingdom. Terrible.
Wow...
I'm disappointed by the turn out. I guess while the rest of GAF only cares for SAO we're the only one who care to vote for an AOTY.
Couldn't one argue that shouen characters are also deformed just in the other direction. I.e. tiny heads and massive muscles.
Well aside from cute characters (which isnt a must have by the way) I also like grandiose stories, elaborate world building, effective comedy, and FUN characters. Occasionally I also enjoy stuff that is absolutely depressing or downbeat. It depends on my mood. Sometimes I am in the mood for hyper cute stuff, such as right now with K-On. Sometimes I am in the mood for long stories, such as Shangri La and simoun, and sometimes I like a good comedy, such as B Gata H Kei. Occasionally a show comes along with a mix of several things, such as Madoka and Steins;Gate, and those are absolute treats. JoJo doesnt have much in the way of cuteness in it but I find it highly enjoyable too. Generally there is no real rhyme or reason to what I like or not, but in for example SAO's case, the show neglected the only characters I cared anything about and then proceeded to hang itself with its own rope. Not only had it jilted the only characters that were interesting, but it completely ignored any sense of logic even in the same world it was created in order to come up with a bullshit ending to the arc. It was all so stupid and self servicing that the show disgusted me. Not many shows affect me that way though.
Generally I just go with my feelings as to what would be an enjoyable view or not. I wont comment badly on shows I havent seen though. Even watched a couple episodes of One Piece to get a feel for it but nope. Hated it.
Took me 40 episodes till I tolerated One Piece. Good thing I was young and bored to tears back then.

I can understand the underage but how are the characters deformed?
Do you mean these kinds of deforms?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_deformed
Oh hey, are you me? I stopped at probably the exact same spot lol. I really need to get back to it.
I feel similar. I don't really like Kaiji's art style but i'll be damned if it isn't one of my favorite anime.
Some folks don't enjoy shows with children as the MC's, especially magical girls.
Ain't that much of a shocker. No piling on MCD, his opinion seems pretty sensible
I guess.

K-On!! 04
Field trip episode.
This episode was really well executed. Accurately portrayed the fun and excitement of a long distance field trip. The girls of course being the high energy crazy bunch they are drove Sawako mad the whole time. Its so accurate its ridiculous. I would love to visit those shrines and other historical sites in rural Japan at some point in my life. Seems like such a fascinating place steeped in many traditions. You can really tell the staff who worked on K-On loved what they do. You can feel that they really gave a shit about making the best experience possible here.

Right after I get to finishing Macross and Macross 7. D:
This probably means that I won't be able to watch enough 2012 anime before the January 29 deadline ;_;

Romanes Eunt Domus
I would be scared shitless. I'd assume there's a coup d'état going on, or worse, we had been invaded. Tanks are a lot more ominous than anime would like you to think!

Here's what I've dug up folks.
Here's an AMV (it's damn hard to find a video for this movie) of what appears to be the climax of the film which may jog your memory.
Hope this helps Motion.
That looks like it! I'll have to find a copy of it. Thank you Minsc

If only there were more Kawajiri movies to balance things out a bit.
Well it's not really rural Japan, since all of that stuff is in Kyoto...
Still, the accuracy is great - it's always a little surreal seeing places that I've actually visited rendered in an episode of anime. Tsuritama and all the other recent shows taking place in Enoshima gave me the same sort of feeling, too.
(Also, with it being Kyoto Animation, they'd damn well better get famous sites in Kyoto right, haha)
I can accept just about any style if the story/show is enjoyable enough.
Kino's journey, for example, has frankly awful character design and strange art. Its a bit like Fantastic Children's art actually. but it is among my very favorite animes of all time because of the stories and characters contained in it as well as that masterpiece of an ending. Shows dont have to tick all the boxes to be fucking amazing.

It's just another reminder of how fucking weird the world of Girls und Panzer is

But he didn't say that. He said the characters are "deformed loli only crap" unless that's what he calls children. Seems to be a rather strong opinion presented as fact for a show he's never seen. Last I checked they weren't even loli.

Brings them to four anime so far, Maoyo, Ishida & Asakura, Cuticle Detective Inaba, and Hakkenden Eight Dogs of the East, for anime on my list...bringing me to 15 anime Ill be watching on Crunchyroll next season.

Also the Hakkenden PV looks nice, really hyped me up for it with reallt good character designs, don't know wy Crunchyroll has it unsubbed.
Nisemonogatari 1
10/10
In reality I would have rated this episode about 5 out of 10, but then there was an extended Hachikuji scene which was enough to bring the score up to perfect. Oh Hachikuji, you are such a kind and literate girl~ You are delicate, yet sophisticated - practical and money conscious. You are a master of wordplay, and your introspective insights and choice of lingerie proceed you by many years. Don't leave me Hachikuji! ;_; You're a perfect woman!

They do kinda have some wide ass angular faces.
They took me a bit to get used to. Strangely they look normal in my memory. SHAFT Magic
