Well... that seems like an unusual opinion.

Maybe. Do people actually like stuff like this visually? I find the palette itself pleasing but I wasn't aware that people enjoyed the backdrops of Tsuritama. Maybe I'm just uniformed though.

 

[Chet Rippo]

The iDOLM@STER 4

Takane, you so crazy.

A pretty enjoyable episode. The only thing that would have made this episode better would be if it had Azusa in it.
It seems I was a pretty good judge of character in the first episode, as my ranking of the characters hasn't really changed much at all yet. Or maybe these character specific episodes aren't really making me like the focus character any more than I already do. I came away liking Takane a little more in this episode rather than Chihaya.

 

[Quasar]

Friends never win in the end.

That's not what my experience of watching anime says.

But really Nanami doomed herself with her plan to confess after her audition/test. That's definitely going to be made of fail now.

My Little Sister Can't Possibly Be This Attractive Koi Kaze 1-13 (end)

I picked this show up ages ago, since I'd heard it was a serious and mature look at romance between siblings that didn't cheat out by making them related. The buzz was also very good, so I wanted to see how you could pull off a mature, thought-provoking, apparently non-depressing show about incest and not be universally reviled.

Then they came in the mail and included "NO-NO Big Brother! Stickers", like so:


which pretty efficiently murdered my hype by being the sort of otakubait I'd expect from a bad series about incest. Show wound up shelved and unwatched for years.

Wow, I have to say that those stickers look like they came from the promotional department because they don't match the tone or message of the series.

 

[Branduil]

Maybe. Do people actually like stuff like this visually? I find the palette itself pleasing but I wasn't aware that people enjoyed the backdrops of Tsuritama. Maybe I'm just uniformed though.

I think it works for the show, and as I said in my post about it, it allows for much better integration of CGI than normal backgrounds.

you're so awesome!!

I love how this episode just moments after her reveal went into OTP shipping (spoilers). With shots like these how can you not get on this ship?

 

[dimb]

It's good for what it is I guess if the other end is stuff like Another. Tsuritama does an excellent job with its blending comparatively, but I still think the low detail backgrounds serve as an inhibitor to the show's potential.

 

[cajunator]

Started watching Fate/Zero since it's so highly recommended in the AOTY thread. Three episodes in and it's really awesome so far. I'm not missing anything by not having watched Fate/stay night, right?

You don't have to see Fate stay night to follow Fate Zero.

Good choice. Easily one of the best, if not the best, anime of 2011 and 2012.

I don't know what wrong in this one
Its look clean and nice, like most of the background in Tsuritama.

I only have a lot to complain in the two final episode with bad weather, which that's the time they started having production problem.

 

[jgminto]

Oh hey, the AotY voting will close soon. Can't wait to see the final results. I'll start flipping shit if SAO beats Jojo's.

Eureka Seven 39

Delicious, delicious football action. This episode reminds me somewhat of the Rugby episode from FMPF. Seriously awesome football playing for no good reason, hahaha. It was a good breather after the heavy stuff on the way to it. Kind of like an eye of the storm.

Also, Norb is totally the best priest ever.

 

[Brazil]

Wandering Son 4

It seems to me that what they're coming up with is the best version of Romeo & Juliet ever created. Nitorin, Takatsuki, Sasa, Mako, and all the characters are great. The only one I have mixed feelings towards is Chiba. She's kind of a pain in the ass... But then when she lets her hair down it's impossible to stay mad at her. Besides, the situation she's in is the shittiest ever.

Symbolism! Also, some of the best feelings ever.

I think this is my favorite backlog season show.

 

[wonzo]

Should I watch Air or Angel Beats first?

The answer is neither. Go watch something good and worth your time like Dennou Coil instead.

Soul Eater 27



Justin Law showing those non-believers.

Very nice action in this episode. Not a fan of the new ED, but at least it looks stylish.

Hmm I gave up on the Soul Eater anime sometime after the medusa fight at the party. Do the other deathscythes show up?

Good ol' Andy Sweetie. From the time before every joke on the web was dissected and documented and had all fun ripped out of it.

You know i used to have a rival during the days of when Toonami was big and the internet was young. It was a friendship turned sour. Got heated. Threats of Littgation. And well creepyness from this former friend with him knowing where my family lives. I dont take that too well.

So its bittersweet (and i have to thank GayGaf for providing the words) to see that my former...bestfriend in the interweb has desiced that its better for him to go fuck "his lady friend" (a pre-diabetic inusha fanchickie no doubt) and breed to his hearts content.

Yall can wish him the best but as for me, - its like the picture said, human cliviation is a pile of trash and my only goal from here on in is to state that message to those that will hear... its like i said... i am the dark cloud that rains on everyones parade...

So you're telling me that even someone like myself has a chance of finding love at an anime con?

[Dresden]

from the new world - 09

For all its faults, this is a remarkable show. It's 'mature' science-fiction in not only its intent but execution. You just don't see properties like this anymore, not just in anime but, well, just about everywhere outside of the confines of the novel. As the sales figures and ratings may attest, it might not be much appreciated by the fans, but I'm still glad this was, and is, being made.

---

I think the show is an example of good 'worldbuilding'--there's a misconception that this requires an encyclopedic assemblage of minutiae, that who-fucked-who or who-killed-whom 2k years ago is somehow important to the conception and sustenance of a world. That's faulty, though; it's the capacity to inspire, with things that aren't told but rather intimated, that resonates with the viewer. Present day motifs, religious symbols, all appropriated in the creation of a surveillance society. Echoes of what we know in contrast with the speculative, alien elements, it's pretty powerful stuff.

I wonder if it has anything to do with the end of gunbuster, when noriko tear off her clothes?

Too soon.

[Neon Genesis Evangelion] - 2

Yep, this show sure loves it's artistry, though when it looks so nice, I cannot possibly begrudge the lingering shots. I'm already starting to see the appeal here. And on that subject, the fight animation was pretty special.

If you keep posting stuff like this I'll fall in love with you.

The first half of SAO was actually enjoyable, even if it was bad. The second half if just pure hate watch. It's worse than that actually, because there isn't even any enjoyment in how bad it is. You just think this is bad, and I feel bad for watching it.

Well second half has the sister, but they spill their load in the first two episodes so you won't be missing much if you drop it after that,

By the way, The Idolmaster (I am not gonna bother with the stupid @ sign) talk, is that that the first season?

It took you longer to write that bollocks about the @ than it would have taken to just add it to the name. Also you got all the cases wrong. I should be lowercase and the rest uppercase and since you can hold the shift key down the @ symbol is easy to type.

Another 7-12

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

?

The jury is still out on whether

Spoiler

He was the killer or not. In my initial impressions of the final episode I came to the same conclusion, but others have pointed towards reasons why it couldn't have been him. I still say if it wasn't meant to be him they could have used another character design to avoid this ambiguity.

 

[Regulus Tera]

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

You say soundtracks but all I remember are the one songs.

 

[Articalys]

Wait, what?

Uh... yeah. That's my reaction as well.

Japanese version of the Transformers series Beast Machines. Why they released a DVD box set for it now of all times is anyone's guess.

 

[Brazil]

It's obvious which is the superior idol franchise.

(Poor Tamako Market didn't do to well . I think Hyouka's OPs and EDs did better. I hope it sells okay.)

Tamako Market's OP is as forgettable as they get. Not surprised there.

Japanese version of the Transformers series Beast Machines. Why they released a DVD box set for it now of all times is anyone's guess.

That's bizarre. Still, more people watching Beast Wars/Machines is a good thing in my book.

New series releases bolded.
2,137 BD cutoff for the early list, which means all those ZnT sales we can see right now are from DVD.

Looks like those new waves of GuP shipments are coming in nicely.

Does that actually mean bad sales for Robotics;Notes or just that the numbers aren't available?

 

[Brazil]

Does that actually mean bad sales for Robotics;Notes or just that the numbers aren't available?

Both. They aren't available because they're too low.

 

[Dresden]

Does that actually mean bad sales for Robotics;Notes or just that the numbers aren't available?

It means it was so low it was below the cutoff for things they actually list numbers for.

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.

You should watch good Umakoshi instead, like Heartcatch, Casshern Sins, or Do-Re-Mi.

HeartCatch Precure - 20

Here's hoping we get our

Spoiler

3rd Precure soon.

Hype!

Speaking of which! Don't worry, you just started that arc.
