C'mon, guys. That's 5/10 :SDBurtons at most. We need to stand up for true :SDBurton, not lower our standards.

My :sdburton scale doesn't go to 10/10 though. It goes to 20/10. ;P
Oh, alright. That makes more sense.

As a bit of a change from Japanese sales figures, the blog for AlltheAnime reveals last years top sellers in the UK - with approximate numbers.
Wait, what? The Deoxys film was released only last year in the UK? Like, movie 7?
Wow.
Good lord, those sales make me a little sad.
Particularly that Origin is still selling so well! I mean, sure, every time I saw it in shops I always thought about how great the film looked, but...
Brazil said:
It's worth noting that the Black and White films also came out last year, which are apparently movie 14? So there's no real rhyme nor reason to the release schedule.

Oh at first I read that as anime figure sales. That would have been a little more interesting to me.
And movie 7 outsold it by such a huge margin? That's even more bizarre.

Best version of this bloody meme yet.
Urotsukidoji was robbed!
I have multiple :SDBurton scales though. Tamako Market is only operating on the pure :SDBurton scale, but if you cut it with some high-grade doujins or the seedier side of the legal distribution channels you can hit the megaton :sdburton scale
Ohaiyo!
Best end or true end? I'll wait for Thoraxes to wake up. Google says Kimi ga Kureta Mono was an ED te-ma for Fairy Tail too.
Haganai isn't that genre. I don't watch many historical ones... Haven't seen Sengoku Basara... Aoi Bungaku is on my to-watch list tho. Closest thing I've seen is Ikkitousen but I'd be remiss to recommend that to you as a period piece. Seen some warring states ones tho.
Yadomi is a dim bulb. The first time she moved something or touched Anjou/Hisakawa there should have been an illuminating moment. For the sake of conflict!

it sounds great. She's very pretty. I'm a sucker for series involving Sengoku era characters, or references and the such. I'll let you know when I check it out.

You should!
Will be watching episode 4 and 5 when I get home from work. Hype!
Agreed, but Zel has a different grading scale so the score is ok!

Your next line will be "Jojo jokes are too obvious"
It's probably an effect of anime trying to increasingly appeal more and more to the Otaku.
Yeah the only real pivotal difference here is that for UK or US shows home releases are just extra money on the sides, whereas with anime they make almost nothing from TV and expect to make back costs on the home releases. Especially for studios like KyoAni that invest their own money on their shows.
Fantastic.

Nice!
1. Population difference
2. Brits love a bargain and Ghibli films always drop in price. That's why they still populate the top 10 because they are cheap and well known.
Looks like a cam of a longer Harlcok movie trailer has been leaked: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_5ajE792BYg
There's actually Japanese dialogue in this one, so it was probably screened for investors/distributors.

As others have mentioned, this episode does a great job of developing Mayu's character. It's not without its weaknesses (I agree that the resolution is a bit neat, even more than last week), but it still does a great job of showing us her passions and the things she struggles with.
Part of the episode sort of goes out of its way to show how competent Hiro is, but by contrasting her with Mayu, we also learn a lot about the latter's inexperience. Hiro finds a way to give up some of the parts of her job she enjoys the most in order to follow the company line, and hopefully get a leg up somewhere else. Mayu isn't ready to accept that sort of compromise yet. Unfortunately, her passion only takes her so far. We could easily imagine Hiro having learned the same hard lessons in her early years with the Jidai.
The moral of the story, as usual, is that workers had better find a way to align their motivations with whatever the company considers best, or misery is inevitable.

As part of the early development of the episode, the show shows us that Mayu stuffs her face with sweets when she's upset. It's a childish habit that plays directly into what we might expect of her character, but man, things like this should have shown up in Psycho-Pass about 10 episodes ago. They make a huge difference.

i'm actually liking this turn of events.
Now the pirate girl everyone had forgotten arrives at the worst moment to mess things up.
This armor is really the worse " broken " weapon i've seen in a while.
Not to mention that now it's broken i'll have no more climaxing in fights every 2 secs !
We're back to regular Qb adventures !

The bird is silly and weird. I kind of like him but not really.
the :Cajun is off the charts though.
Ohohohohho
This is a very SPECIAL ending!
I'm still in the dark about what you're all talking about. Guess I need to read the other adaptations and watch some old music videos before I can catch it.
I also haven't seen Medaka Box either. Social in-joke acceptance meter is cry.

Another episode and another nekkid Kon. Really good episode with the brother antics too going on. I wish we got a few more answers though. Variation still the best of incognito.

That's some stupid flashback.
I guess mirim had a freaking good reason to believe after all , now that i saw the status of her familly, her pathetic attempts all made kinda sense. The problem now is that if she fights again i'll have to tone down the volume again.
The china girls are back and are now in the party despite the entry condition being high this might be good i guess even if we never saw them fight too much..
Ymir must be a freaking great strategist to manage to do that. and why did she just turn around the soldiers like that ? technology , willpower ?Explain your stuff , lol
I have now no idea how things will turn out since they managed to solve the first part problems already.
Off to the next episode !
Is that trolling ? are you trolling me ? i never thought you were right anyway.

Alright, so I finished up Rocket Girls just now. It was actually a really good show. Had to have been for me to go through 12 episodes in one day, so I really recommend it.
In the end it's hard to say it was exceptional at anything or that it was extremely thought provoking or anything of the sort but aside from the one escape scene in the very first episode, and I guess the initial premise itself, I feel it did everything right and was a very solid work. Ended in as good a spot as it could but it's a little sad we wont get to see any more missions.
