By the way, The Idolmaster (I am not gonna bother with the stupid @ sign) talk, is that that the first season? I have only watched 5 or 6 Ep, of it, maybe I should continue watching it. I did enjoy it, but for some reason (I can't remember why) I dropped it.

Speaking of which, I never finished Mawaru Penguindum either. I don't like how dark and melancholic it turned out to be :/

Ah, well, I am walking to my doom I guess.

Sword Art Online Ep. 10

Yep, they had to bring Melodrama into this, whats up with all the characters changing personality?

Also, Kirito killed a fellow player (who undoubtedly was going to kill him, but nevertheless, he killed him) does that mean he is a murderer? They never showed any red marker above his head or anything?


I thought that was the weakest part of the series. Maybe, I sort of dislike Romance in Anime (because they never pull it off very well IMO)

There's no such thing as a red marker. You're either orange or green. People just say red in order to differentiate those who are killer and those who do bad things.

Don't bother with Idolmaster and for god's sake finish Penguindrum already.

Why yes, I think I'll post this picture completely out of context. It's better this way.

It was a beach episode. And a mini-jet came out from underneath a frilly skirt. This show continues to deliver.

You ARE going to put this online so we can see and hear it, right? RIGHT? :mad:

I too would like to listen!

Apparently i'll have to wait 2-3 weeks after the recording session is finished because they get the guy who masters all the CSO's CDs to master everything from the recording sessions :D

So probably like Mid-Late March or so.

And then there's a premiere of a Wind Ensemble work in late April that i'll get recordings for in like early May.

Episode was pretty good, not my favorite fight of the anime thus far (episode 2 had the best one, looking back) but still good. I liked Andy's contributions a bit more this episode (As they put Hyoubu a bit offscreen oddly :/ ). The "Children" were pretty annoying though and kind of awful
really crying over a loss, seriously, and worst, losing so terribly at Hyoubu, what were they even trying to create there?
. Really like Andy alot and hope he still does much much more. Definitely leading the way for one of the best protagonists of 2013.

I want to know what the device is so much and they were so nebulous about the girls. They will eventually control Queen of Catastrophe? Why do they need the device as well?

It was good but it has to compete with Space bros and possibly Chihayafuru.
The rankings are cloudy.

I will always put Masashi Hamauzu at the top of my list in whatever he does because I am infatuated with his style. Aaaaaaaaan he had Kuwano playing solo violin!

I await to hear your great work! :D

I literally have just been sitting at a computer revising parts for the past two weeks, and am gonna be at it for another 4 just editing and revising. It's funny how the creative process is usually the quickest part, especially when you have like 50-60 parts to unify in both score and performer's part :lol

This is why publishing companies have slaves to do this :/

This guy right here.

To be fair, Hyouka's soundtrack is pretty great, if not for the fact that it actually has a live recording budget alone. That in itself is great in this medium.

It does stick rather safe to what seems to be a Kyoani standard of mallet percussion with small chamber strings, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing, just what i've come to expect from the music in their shows.

Can you send me a pm about how you became interested in composing and became a composer? Im curious.

I hope you don't take this the wrong way but man... you're pretty boss. New-found respect for you man.

This was the best episode so far. By a huge amount.

Azusa is doing a shoot for a wedding magazine with Makoto, with the former being a bride and the latter being the groom. Along the way there's a huge misunderstanding and Azusa gets kidnapped by what appears to be the Yakuza or something. The whole thing results in her wandering around town in a wedding dress, helping random people and going random places, including a meat bun shop and the circus.

So, you'd think Azusa would be the star of the episode, right? Wrong. Cause when Makoto figures out what happened, she's all "AW, HELL NAW!", and spends the rest of the episode chasing her down, all while taking some time out to FUCKING RUIN BITCHES! She's so awesome people thought they were filming an action movie!

Makoto is best girl. By far. Lightyears. And there are lots of good ones. But she's in a league all on her own now.

While Makoto is awesome, best girl by far for me is Azusa.


Girl is absolutely breathtaking.

That part was so hilariously contrived. As she's running through the park in a wedding dress, there just happens to be a guy with a giant cart full of flowers to get in her way.

I think this episode was probably my favorite of the show. It was just one of those wacky cheesy fun episodes that fit everything in really nicely.

I'd have been happier with a smaller age gap (bring her age up two years and his age down four, maybe), and I feel like it really needed a five years later epilogue, but for the part they covered it was pretty well done.

Koi Kaze is one of my favourite shows. I definitely think that making the relationship uncomfortable is part of what made it great, and the age gap was part of that. I'm also not partial to 5-years-after epilogues - the ambiguity of the ending is another strong point in the show, I feel.

...Eva and Koi Kaze, seems like Gaf watches great stuff now and again!
 
Saint Seiya Omega Ep: 1-now

Why do I keep torturing myself hopeing that this crap gets better? Between the terrible 5 protags and a thankfully dead Aria and a wannabe Ikki in the form of Eden, I dunno how I'm keeping up with this. T_T

I should start my rerun of Saint Seiya to cure myself.

Anyways Bakuman EP 17

Nice transition episode that starts off the final arc. Sad to think Bakuman will be done for good but after the manga ending I dunno if the anime ending is gonna be any better.

It's worthless to resist cajun. Extollere has already corrupted me, it's only a matter of time.

It's true. Eventually I find everybody that can draw something, and make them draw anime porn for me. It is your turn Cajun - you know what I want. Oh - I will also accept Komugi, so please take your pick.

Thoraxes is a composer?!

Hey, do you have any opinions on Daniel Bjarnason, or Johann Johannsson? Or even Max Richter? Those are some of my favs.
 
Sora no Woto 10-11 (rewatch)


A Roman soldier who speaks German is captured by a Spanish (?) platoon who speaks Japanese, this show will always confuse. I can't stand to see Noel in most this episode, it breaks my god damn heart.

Does this mean you're going to make him compose anime porn?

Minami-ke already had the greatest porno music. And I can't remember what the track is called!

i already plan to draw an Eva with a tutu and Ritsu with cat ears, so Komugi x Kuroyukihime could be quite the interesting subject matter.

This is how I'm going to die.

Hahaha this was so unbelievably dumb. I wanted to strangle Misaki Mei during that ending.

Mizushima just can't help himself; whatever he directs ends up turning into a comedy. To be quite fair, he really had no choice with the script he was given here; this may be one of the dumbest mystery/horror series of all time. I love how everyone just goes completely nuts by the end for no reason besides drama. And there's no other way to interpret the protagonist except as an emotionless sociopath. I mean he
sees his aunt get her head smacked
and has literally no reaction. And then he
kills her himself
. And I'm supposed to believe Misaki Mei's BS that
she couldn't tell him because it'd hurt him too much
? She's just a vindictive psychopath as well. I don't even need to go into the stupidity of every single person in the show in general, or how nothing makes any sense whatsoever.

On the plus side, it has better art direction than most P.A. Works shows, and the ED is nice. But it's only worth watching if you like really, really stupid horror shows and Final Destination death scenes.

Lol, the entire episode was unashamed in how contrived it was. I thought it was great.
 
Kingdom 34

Its getting so good again but we'll only have four episode left. Cant wait for season 2. The reveal though caught me completely off guard
Li Mu being revealed to be with Zhao and some epic commander part of the three greats, never saw that coming. I thought he'd be with Qin or some ally. Now I truly fear for Wang Yi if this guy is behind the scenes as well as their on field commander and Pang Nuan

The strategy moments are just as good as the moments with Xin running in and doing his typical hack and slash thing, wonder if he can score big in this.

Original Saint Seiya isn't that much better... full of bullshit and only nostalgia saves it.

Only a still for "Mortal Combat"? Lame!

The "Mortal Combat" sounds like an element that could be in the game? The explanation sounded that way anyhow.
Before and after that, more large bosom ninja antics.

Best character spotted.

It happened.

The worst part is that she left after
one little slash to the back
. What a disappointing move.
Hopefully the next confrontation isn't so brief.
