That episode gets a totally different meaning the moment you watch it after knowing all the knowings about Utena.
Somebody needs to make this fanart.
Noriko Takao and Kenji Nakamura are the only two deserving names in the entire list.
Matsumoto has more DIRECTOR talent than Ikuhara these days. Even her Fresh Precure episodes were better than Ikuhara's entire work for PenguinDrum.
I thought Anohana was pretty restrained compared to what the woman can do on her good days.

If Penguinbear ended up just being Destiny Mokushiroku it would be the greatest thing ever.
You're in luck. There's the Anohana movie!
We've seen Okada luck into good series when paired with a really strong director (Nagai and Ando、I wanna say Aoki Ei too but his work is kinda iffy for me) so it's definitely not out of the realm of possibility that Anohana turns out good (better).
Ok, so name 8 more directors around 30 to round out your list.

DOKI DOKI PRECURE - 01
i stopped in the middle ...
I'm not feeling it.
i dunno if it's because i've seen them all already and i'm tired or something but i just can't ..
I will go back to PRECURE once ep 5 airs so that i can get a better opinion of this new serie ..because right now doki doki leaves my heart calm.. too calm.
PS : i don't like the opening music.

Most of the time is me just looking it over and over again to make sure I got what I wanted to say right. That, and that the links work.
Oh, I did. The links were for those that didn't know. And it was mostly a call back to when I joked about how Tamako looked like she was Mugi and Mio's love child. So I guess I got half of it right. lol
And for all I know, they're just Lego's here, I just wanted to crack a stupid joke only someone like BGBW would get. And yeah, N&B originally stood for Nintendo Block.
I can't help but think of crossdressing as a dead elementary schooler when I think of Okada and Anohana. You're probably right, but I can't help it...

I didn't even know there was a movie. To be honest, I was really confused when I saw it on the list, but other things caught my attention. I think it'll turn out good! To me, Anohana had a nice theme that could've made for a great show. I didn't think it was awful when I watched it, so I hope the movie does a good job of picking the good parts and doing them better.

i don't hatewatch ... for dokidoki i feel like it's lacking so right now i'm disapointed .. like i was disapointed by fresh first episodes .
The opening of a season must set some bases .. sometimes they do it very well sometimes they mess up. But that's never an indication of the overall taste of a serie in the long run.
For example i liked smile beginning , but disliked many things in the middle ( including the ending ).
Another example is that i was on the verge of dropping precure after being disapointed by "yes" entire season yet "yes gogo" arrived and i watched it all .( because that season had a nice start )
When you're rebooting a world , setting new rules, ennemies , character and locales , you shouldn't mess with the start .i feel like they did something dull ( at half of the episode only ) so i stopped to see what direction they would take this season at.
For example, the beginning fight lacked in so many areas .. when you begin a season on a fight , do it like heartcatch ... put some tension , some fighting spirit in it ! Dammit !
I didn't know there was a movie either.
When AnoHana first aired, it had soooo much potential to be a good show. I love nostalgia and it seemed like it would be a good piece about friends who've drifted away from each other get back together like the good old days for some reason or another. Normally the KEY-ish overly sentimental stuff gets shat on here but alot of people hopped on the bandwagon (hi Geneijin) and we had some fun with HanaIro vs AnoHana. But then, of course, Okada disease kicked in and she or the director couldn't help themselves with either: a) going for tropes; or b) out crazying everyone.

What show is that from? Also NC > AVGN
This really is the year of shitty writers at cons.

Wait, so who is the guy that is in all the pictures?
Black Rock Shooter, for one.
Does the universe implode upon itself when Kawahara and Okada finally do a show together?

Definitely most boring episode of the arc, girl power episode with really girly cutesy cards or nurses with thermometers, fairys and angels, and ponies with lasers. At least the one PSY shop owner had personality and was all dramatic with Limit Break.

Well, anything by Ikuhara is close to the greatest thing ever.
Great to know that the two greatest writers in human history are both coming to conventions in the US this year!
A show from the two of them would be amazing and hilarious. Original concept by Kawahara and adapted by Okada. I can't even imagine what a spectacle it'd be.

They just need to invite Aaron Sorkin, aimrite (duckroll)?!
Mari Okada (or whoever at DEEN) ruined one of my favorite RK arcs with terrible dialogue and total nonsense. I would have preferred they not resurrect the property than what they did with it.
Foul! I like Aaron Sorkin =/

bad gameplay lol
Toradora 1
I think I'm going to like this. Ryuji seems like a good protagonist, and Taiga is so tsun-tsun it's almost hilarious.
Though I do kinda feel like maybe I should watch something that doesn't take place in a high school. After Azumanga Daioh, BRS TV, Candy Boy (well, there weren't too many school scenes in that, but still), Nichijou, etc...the setting's starting to feel a bit played out.
Doesn't mean I'll be dropping this, though. Not at all. Like I said, first impression is that I'm really going to enjoy it.

Doki Doki PreCure! is having some kind of ad campaign running from February 2nd to February 11th, where if you buy one of the girls transformation device toys and take a picture of yourself with it then send it in, you have a chance of being one of a hundred people to be in a commercial for PreCure. Apparently all participants that don't win will still be in some web commercial.
I'm not sure how popular PreCure really is but depending on how many applications they get I imagine it would just be a real quick montage or a collage of pictures and you would have to try and pick yourself out or something.
I didn't look at all the details but they do have an age limit in that you can't be older than an elementary school student, sorry guys, haha.

I think it suffered from Fractalitis, where the tone was just so inconsistent and the characters were so poorly developed, that any sort of interest the subject matter could have had was completely lost. Comparing it to Hanasaku Iroha which was airing at the same time and was out of this world only further highlighted its deficiencies, but it would have looked bad even if you were comparing it to Trinity Blood or MD Geist or some other really shitty anime.

Poor 7th.
Well, essentially, the franchise's main objective is to sell toys to kids. Regardless of how enjoyable a season is to the periphery adult fanbase, it generally executes this main objective consistently from season to season. Toei is notoriously inconsistent with how it applies its most talented staff to its own shows, and because appeal to the periphery demographic isn't a priority, it's the luck of the draw as to whether or not the people charged with developing the scenario, characters, and narrative from year to year will produce something with that kind of appeal. When it goes wrong, you either get something dumbed down/through the motions (Yes 5) or you get something that isn't inherently bad but gets starved for talent and ends up trainwrecking (Suite). And unlike other Toei shows that vacillate wildly between great and bad from episode to episode, entire seasons of Precure tend to be consistently good or bad which is why there's panic when a first episode shows echoes of previous bad installments.

Seems like a starting point for a new season. Pretty good. Everybody got some attention in this episode, and that's usually a good formula for this show. So 961 and its douchemaster president have decided to wage war, cause they're becoming pretty big, by stealing their magazine cover spot. I understand what the producer was saying (speaking of the producer, can Miki stop calling him "honey"? It's fucking creepy as shit), but I still would have let Makoto have five minutes alone with him. They're all depressed until they read fanmail and feel better.
Even if the episode sucked, would have still been worth it for that Makoto/Takane shot.
Edit: Thanks for the explanation, Mad Pierrot.

alibaba played it well. Not too sure what anything is going on in the big picture though.

Director of Smile Precure doesn't look how I expected him to look:
(He is the one on the right, by the way.)
More staff pictures: http://imgur.com/a/JyeTe
He looks kind of like a younger Makoto Nagano
I do need to get around to watching West Wing one of these days. Newsroom has kinda soured me on him already though.
Me too
At least I got a figure of her!
This would be legendary. Hopefully more Accel World and less Shit Art Online.

That reminds me that there's a nendoroid of Penguin. It's not high on my want list, but it would still be cool to have.
