Did the direction for the show ever get any better from the first two episodes? Judging from impressions, probably not. My biggest beef with it was that it was just so ordinary, and not in a good way. Everything is presented in the bare minimum that someone would expect given the scene, and nothing more. Scene layouts are boring. Character interactions are like echo chambers. Backgrounds were flat and layered. It was really like... watching someone play a visual novel. Truly mundane and a waste of time.

That's because you don't practice waifuism.
 
Kotoura-San Ep:4
Really good episode, alot of scenes that brought laughter. Amazing end to the episode. I'm glad I picked up this series!
I guess I don't mind Moritani now... It seems like she learned her lesson and paid for it the hard way. I'm neutral now so the next episode will either make or break my thoughts for her.
Kotoura-san 4

Did anyone else find some of the dialogue in this episode...off-putting? Some of the parts with her grandpa were straight-up uncomfortable.

That said, this really did feel like a final episode. Hopefully now we can have a few nice slice-of-life episodes before we start dealing with the inevitable return of Kotoura's mother (come on, you know it's coming).
Definately going to be a coin toss between the mother and the father.. and it wont be pretty.
 
Gintama 268

Gintama has the best action in Shonen. Seriously. I don't think many others can get to the level of quality Gintama does when it's at its best.
i have to agree ... when they want to be awesome they do awesome and they know they're awesome.

When you finish the game, watch the anime. I really liked the anime a lot because of how awesome they made the broswagonist, and then the obvious fan service because it is based off a game.

Pimp as Fuck 2012 award easily goes to him though. So much swag.
Yep the anime did have poor battles but they nailed the characters and the social link very well. it's not a bad adaptation

I actually want to see this now.

i do ..Will probably watch this today as well ( it was already on my back log list)

I don't know why I thought of this, but does anyone know when Gothicmade might get a disc release? It already aired in theaters, right?

duckroll's already answered you, but I thought it might be useful for people to see the upcoming disc release schedules for anime films as far as we know them at present. I've probably missed a few things off so if anyone knows any other major release dates just let me know. I'm only particularly interested in seeing Fuse and Guskou Budori out of this lot, having been lucky enough to see Wolf Children already - most of the films from the end of last year are still bouncing around in very limited release.

January

I know it's just finished, but the Library War film ("Wings of Revolution") and last year's version of The Life Of Guskou Budori both came out last month. For some reason, Guskou Budori is categorised by Amazon as being "American TV drama" and a "foreign film". Weird.

I'm sure you'll all be thrilled to know that last year's Jewel Pet movie also came out last week.

February

The big release is, of course, Wolf Children on the 20th. The Tiger and Bunny movie comes out on the 22nd. with Blood-C following five days later.

Last year's Fairy Tale movie seems to be getting a bundled release with volume 36 of the manga on the 15th, but it's DVD only and I don't think there's a release date for a Bluray edition.

March

Nanoha A's is out on the 22nd.

April

Fuse is released on the 20th, with last year's Naruto movie out on the 24th, the same day as the Macross FB7 meta-movie-thing.
 
Gundam AGE Episode 30 or "Flit's Pet Human, Kio"

I love
how people can now say no to
Flit because he's retired. He
can't
always get things what he wants.

Flit is saying the Vegans want to destroy humanity, yet Flit wants to destroy all Vegans. Now in all the series of Gundam I've watched (MSG, Zeta, ZZ, Turn-A), nobody ever said 'I want to eradicate the Zeon/Federation/Moonrace/Earthpeople', they want to win a war, but none of them go that far.

Kio is Flit's next tool in his quest to destroy half of humanity. Kio is basically a drone who accepts everything his master tells him to do.

Captain What'sherface is now captain of the Diva, she's ditzy and says her name a lot (Although I've forgotten her name). She'll be the 'character development' for this gen I suppose.

Also the opening, is quite good actually. What is weird is that suddenly space pirates are going to appear soon. Those'll be intersting episodes.

Next Episode: Desert.

I watched up to the full introduction of Frau and, up to that point, there wasn't even any of that in it - there was only the childhood friend, who was clearly far more important than any of the other female characters in that the show basically presents her as the protagonist (although, weirdly, through Kai's perspective). I can't even remember the character names unfortunately :(

Winter Backlog Anonymous: Wandering Son - 4

This is one crazy love triangle. And I somehow feel Romeo & Juliet isn't the best play for a "happy ever after" scenario.

So the Suisei no Gargantia site just updated today with a handful of new stuff, including some staff comments, new mech designs, and other stuff, but since the site is also a pain to navigate through, I'll just post the direct links to three new music samples they uploaded.

http://gargantia.jp/mp3/sound0.mp3
http://gargantia.jp/mp3/sound1.mp3
http://gargantia.jp/mp3/sound2.mp3

Sounds like some cool stuff.

Thanks, I guess I'll link the Striker mech, which looks fucking cool:

Last night was so awful at work. I shouldnt have even been there :(
 
Considering the sales for Unicorn + the appeal of the various non-anime projects, I highly doubt this. AGE is just going to be a forgettable footnote in gundam history.

Exactly. AGE is just one series that was met with a collective *shrug*. I also seriously doubt it will have any spillover effect. Unicorn ep 6 comes out next month and I expect that to sell very well, and by the time we get to The Origin no one will even care about about AGE (if there are any that still do).

Also the Smile Precure movie the same week, if my memory serves correctly.

Aaaah, I couldn't find a release date for this one, I tried checking the film's website but I will admit to only a cursory glance as I am at work and would undoubtedly get some odd looks from people passing by for that one, it's rather... colourful...
 
Blast of Tempest 16
tumblr_mhikatMboz1rgotfdo1_500.gif


Kind of wish Mahiro would get a bit more involved in the plot again but I thought it was a fun and funny episode. Yoshino's expressions and rising to action are really memorable.
Everyone seeming to still suggest he is the mage of exodus...could he really be even though he has no innate magic like Hanemura? Would be intriguing, can there be two, I wonder how Mahiro would fit into this.
. For Mahiro and Yoshino, I like the M and the Y they had on their outfits at one point in the episode, really minor detail but really noticeable. And as usual the music was good fun, and I liked having our hamlet/tempest quotes back.

The Mahiro/Yoshino duet character song is really good too. Hope theres more.

Dude, you're not going to save anyone. All those caught in the web due to morbid curiosity are doomed.
The only way to stop Black★Rock Shooteritis is to prevent Black★Rock Shooteritis. I don't see you attempting anything to contain the disease.
Eh, I've got enough of a backlog I might never get to it anyway. It must look horrendous if the CG is actually better than the 2D.
lol I'm not talking about its looks, but the CGI is actually great in this case!

Tenpo Suikoden Classic Story Retelling Gets TV Anime
A television anime titled Tenpo Suidoken NEO has been green-lit. The anime is based off an old Japanese story, which in turn was inspired by the classic Chinese novel Suikoden (Water Margin).

In the original story, a large band of outlaws are given amnesty by the government to fight foreign forces and rebels. The Tenpo Suidoken version relocates the story to the Chiba Prefecture town of Tōnoshō, and it revolves around the chivalrous battles of Sasagawa no Shigezō and Iioka Sukegorō.

Tenpō Suidoken NEO will air simultaneously on Chiba TV, TV Saitama, and TV Kanagawa in Japan. A Facebook fanpage has also been opened.

I got an advanced birthday gift card from someone and I used it to pre-order the PSG-style Yoko and Nia statues. I blame you for this, cajunator.

BLACK ROCK SHOOTER TV - 01
"A tale of frienship, colors, hate and macarons ??"

BlackRock%20Shooter%20-%2001.jpg

How the heck did you reach that conclusion?? Are you that pure ?
This certainly is an anime that feel different in some ways . Still i'm intrigued by the plot in place. I have no idea what's going on but the cgs battles were very well done and i guess that's that.

Nice mention to the black rock shooter theme voiced by hatsune miku ..

For some reason this episode felt longer than it was in reality.i dunno why

Okay Anime-GAF:
find me an anime series, non hentai, maybe even non ecchi where sex does happen. No, nothing graphic, just a series where there is more than mayyybe a big hug at the end to show the guys actually do like each other.

It was ridiculous back in Tenchi Muyou already when you had Ryouko snooping around... the later cut down on her character because she was so forward. The fact shows later always gravitated to shy girl wins later also... nawww, different post.

Since then, Anime relationships have constantly dangled the carrot but none of the poor cast members ever got a bite.

So, any shows where the characters got more "lucky"?? Panty&Stocking I already know :p

I won't admit to it having sex or not, but Revolutionary Girl Utena deals with issues of sexuality without ever going porno on you.

Romantic love, though? Kareshi Kanojo no Jijou could be one.

There is nothing to understand in BRS TV; Okada made the writing process of the show very clear: "Imaishi and his drunk friends gave me ridiculous plot points barely connected to each other and then I made them even more ridiculous by adding the Okada Touch ™ to them."

This is really boring. I'm having trouble articulating why this is poorly written. It's cohesive, which seems to be a rarity now, but the writing itself is dull and the whole story feels sorta cliche. There's really no spark to anything in this show.
It seems the characters themselves don't quite manage to give a damn, so...

I'm not exactly sure what you're looking for, but Honey and Clover Season 2, Gundam SEED, Natsuyuki Rendezvous, and Code Geass all have characters who have sex.
