Persona 4: The Animation 10-12
Episodes 10 and 11 were by the book, but number 12 was weird as hell.

I take it that was one of the bad endings? I don't even remember if you can get one after capturing Mitsuo. Yu having an internal conflict was kind of scary, haha. Still, afterwards he did get to wreck shit with his million Personas, so it's cool.

I've probably went through all the links on the K-ON! page...
You dropped Toradora too? I thought I was alone in this.
blu rays ready, I just need the strength to try it again, I hope my hate for the series it's only because the bad spanish fansub I watched the first time

Probably because I've never imported a game before.

Living in hope for a release outside of Japan.
No, it's just a nice little fake-out that they decided to throw in there. It's effective too!
Just wait until you hit that S-Link episode.
We've all been there.

It's too damn early in the morning.
Oh, so they actually created some original stuff? Now I'm looking forward to the rest even more.

Yeah, the false sense of competition created by patriarchy is what helps perpetuates some of these social standards, especially in competitive social settings like the workplace (and, I suppose, elsewhere as well) that was very interesting in the show.
I do wonder how the jdrama version of the show touches on all these issues. I would expect it to be much softer, because of my preconceptions of Japan, but maybe it's this edgy show like... well, Murphy Brown was for 80s America. (Probably not

End of Eva is required viewing. You haven't seen anything until you watch it.

I'll be the contrarian that says that it is not required to understand or interpret the TV show. If only because I feel that at best, it is a distraction, and at worse, it detracts from the TV show's depiction of the ending.
But you might as well watch it anyway. lol
The ending itself wasn't an issue, or at the very least, interpreting it. I just felt like the execution was sloppy. A case of "scene missing", as it suddenly just arrived at the conclusion, rather abruptly, in my opinion.

Thats because they ran out of budget as the show went on and had to scrap most of the ideas they had for the ending and went with a minimalist approach.
I don't understand this concept of "too early".
I suppose it is because even when I wasn't working a night shift, when the alarm went off at 4 AM I always jumped clear out of bed immediately and was 100% functional.

Because I only had about 4 hours of sleep. It's a horrible habit to pick up...
I greatly envy (and deeply resent) people like you.
For fuck's sake, I got up at 8:30 this morning, had coffee and some eggs and home fries in my Student Union for breakfast, went to class, and now I'm here in my room...and I still feel like shit. Like I just said though, I really think I need to cut down on the coffee.
Its just my body chemistry. I am energetic all the time. Hardly ever laze around, nor do I have the time to.

Xam'd: Lost Memories 3 - 26 (end)
The anime looked and sounded amazing. I loved the visuals as well as the Xam'd designs, especially for Akiyuki. Side characters like Furichi were good
, and then Yango who ought to have had a bigger and more substantial role
.
I think there were a few significant problems with the story and plot though. Hated the ending and I would have liked to do a Haruhi and demand that whoever wrote it gives me a formal apology.
. I did like Akiyuki's and his inner battle and everything in that old timer's community was really well done, I like the mask thing and the black thing that was with him
Overall, I guess I did enjoy it and it did feel worth the 89.99 I spent on it. Ill probably rewatch again and the music from Kylee and Boom Boom Satellites was splendid. Akiyuki, if he had a different edgier and cooler looking outfit would have been awesome, but at the end of the day, was still really good character. 7/10.

plot ended too soon with him, hate how he was decapitated and that was it, no one feeling remorse or nothing, odd
nine year later version was awesome design

Characters just die and thats it nothing else is sad. The big confrontations felt weak and odd, like the commander versus the dad, or Raikyo's death scene just felt kind of weak. The only time it seemed like characters cried over the things was like the end and perhaps Akiyuki, but then why no one was said when Nakiami sealed herself away? And for that point, I thought that whole thing was terrible. What type of ending has her seal herself away for 1000 years and then Akiyuki turn to stone for nine years. I dont like to sign up for bad ends...Especially since all that seemed to happen was the BIG picture was still unresolved since well, war is about to happen again...
the reveal that it was the Hiruken Emperor then their internal face off and handing of the name felt really good and intriguing. Though casting off Akiyuki for several episodes after this and turning attention to less interesting characters significantly decreased the anime's enjoyment for me.

If that's what they wanted to happen, they should have just started the series with Episode 2 then. They're just setting themselves up for unreasonable expectations at this point and floundering them. Mana is already more boring and generic than Nozumi. Nozumi.

If the only thing you had to work with was old footage of the series, scissors and sellotape I'd like to see you do better!

Strangely my dispatch work doesnt give me headaches. I dont even have to smoke or drink.
I must be an alien. Or my Cute anime addiction is powerful enough to overcome the stress.

I think it's worth pointing out that, while lack of budget was very important there was also a lack of time. Production in tv anime certainly seems to be afflicted by severe time constraints, which is one the reasons Hayo Miyazaki vowed to stay away from it after his previous experiences.

So this is how the thought process for Famitsu reviews goes.

Best comedy I've watched in years. You guys are missing out.

I tend to agree, though I actually like both ending approaches (TV and End of Evangelion).
