Senyuu 06

Delicious sadistic Nakamura.

Show's also taking a darker turn in the second half too. Amazing.

[Dedication Through Light]

It's pretty hot:

Wow thats even better. Izuru seems like a great main character, that pose. The girls mechs look alright too, oh and that sword.

 

[Milamber]

Fake recommendations are bannable now. Evilore said so.

Oops, must have missed that somehow.

 

[Envelope]

NNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Why?

What possible reason could you have to be against this that doesn't involve "I like being a jerk"?

 

[R_thanatos]

The eternal question of "Just how bad can it be?" keeps coming up for me.

Maybe you should start watching and post impressions after each episode /*evil smile */

Didnt think theyd ~color code it to the actual pilots. Like Izurus and the chatty otaku, Surugas, the best.

Mecha design is alright ...Why is that i find the human designs so bland ?
i haven't watched that many shows with them ( scryed, seed + destiny , heroic age , linebarells )

It can't be that i'm feed up with this design already , can it ? Why does this feels so bland ?

 

[Crash Station]

Much like the phrase "Evilore said so." seeing as we have yet to receive a source.

Otherwise I could get away with saying something like "You must shower me in praises and call me BGBW-sama. Evilore said so."

I was joking, dude.

It's pretty hot:

Oh hey, it's that character designer that puts eyeliner on everyone.

 

[Dresden]

Why?

Someone recommended him to watch Fairy Tail.

 

[Steroyd]

Fake recommendations are bannable now. Evilore said so.

School Days is a fake reccomendation?

I thought it was an educational reference point as to why harem leads are sexless and keep their dicks in their pants.

 

[Psycho_Mantis]

what anime is this? The expression on the girls face cracks me up.

Ooh! Some one who shares my opinion of that damn character designer too. Thought I only had that problem since Ryvius.

Chuunibyou demo Koi ga Shitai!

 

[Jarmel]

Being a jerk is always a valid reason.

 

[Dresden]

No one likes Hirai.

 

[Taruranto]

Who decides what is a fake recommendation. Maybe he really enjoyed Boku no Pico. I know people who did.

No one likes Hirai.

The only time i didn't want to punch Hiraifaces was in Scryed, and that was because Kazuma was the one mostly on screen.

 

[dakkumauji]

Puchimas! 32

Idols that go bump in the night.

I decide what is a fake recommendation.

Spoiler

And then I do nothing about it.

 

[Haly]

I enjoyed Boku no Pico.

 

[Milamber]

I actually enjoyed Eiken.














Dubbed.

GINTAMA 257
New opening ? already ?
New real arc ? already ? bring it on !

New opening is slick and cool , with a nice use of special effects with the j-pop. Good stuff as usual.

A usual this arc started by a genuine comical situation that raise a new problem in the hero lives.
Standard gintama comedy then, with a lot of good situations .... this episode would have been "good" , until ....

WAOUH !

WTF happenned.

Kick the can is SERIOUS BUSINESS in all sunrise shows. ( remember daily lives of high school boys ? ) Now i want a gundam themed kick the can episode !

Anyway , the new ending theme is also pretty cool , i hope it will grow on me , but so far, i have a hard time forgetting " Samourai heart " .

VERDICT : VERY GOOD

 

[Chet Rippo]

I actually enjoyed Eiken.














Dubbed.

I liked it either way. They could have been mute for all I care.

 

[Branduil]

The new GITS looks bad. The art direction and color design make it look like a poor man's Psycho Pass.

 

[R_thanatos]

Someone recommended him to watch Fairy Tail.

But fairy tail is actually good. and fun to watch as long as you can tolerate ongoing shonen.

Ooh! Some one who shares my opinion of that damn character designer too. Thought I only had that problem since Ryvius.

I wonder sometimes if i should watch Ryvius. Should i ?

I enjoyed Boku no Pico.

That's not something you should say out loud !

 

[Chronoexe]

Please don't suck like Linebarrels pleaseeeeeeeeeeeee.

School Days is a fake reccomendation?

I thought it was an educational reference point as to why harem leads are sexless and keep their dicks in their pants.

No, it was an educational reference point as to why harem leads need a heart of gold.

 

[Kagami]

Vividred Operation 5
Yeah, the mysterious girl has a conflicted past and is being manipulated. This show isn't even trying any more. Ah well.

I'm not sure it ever was!

EDIT:

I'm pretty sure it never tried.

...I should read more before posting.

 

[Jex]

The new GITS looks bad. The art direction and color design make it look like a poor man's Psycho Pass.

That's a low blow.

 

[Chet Rippo]

It's pretty hot:

It's too bad about the whole, face thing.

 

[Branduil]

That's a low blow.

I don't know another way to describe a Production I. G. show full of garish reds and corpse-colored humans.

 

[dimb]

The new GITS looks bad. The art direction and color design make it look like a poor man's Psycho Pass.

But...Psycho-Pass is already the poor man's Psycho-Pass.

 

[madp]

The new GITS looks bad. The art direction and color design make it look like a poor man's Psycho Pass.

And considering that Psycho-Pass already looked like a poor man's GitS, the circle is now complete.

It's too bad about the whole, face thing.

Shit, that's some prime Escher Girls material right there.

 

[dakkumauji]

Amnesia 06

Omigawa alert.

Also, 45 times or so for otome lead gasps and other short bursts of voice acting.

Well, as expected this closes Ikki's arc. And while I was already uninterested in him to begin with, this arc doesn't exactly paint either Ikki or the otome lead in a good light.

Spoiler

LOL, SHE DROWNS?

 

[Milamber]

I wonder sometimes if i should watch Ryvius. Should i ?

There were a lot of low points in that anime than high points. Compounded with that awful character design made it much worse.

But powering through that show to catch those high points until the end left me with a relieved feeling. Yeah, that show wasn't so bad.

I may or may not be a closet masochist.

 

[Brazil]

It's too bad about the whole, face thing.

They should stick to mecha.

[New Getter Robo OVA] - 1 to End

Episodes 1 - 5

Eh, this isn't particularly engaging.

Episodes 6 - 8

Now this is what I'm talking about! Let me taste that Go Nagai insanity! No explanations required.

Episodes 9 - End

Fuck yeah!

Also, judging by the ending to this series and Getter Robo: Armageddon all the continuities be linked in some ridiculous way, if someone wanted to link them all up.

[New Getter Robo] - Overall

I guess this was an all right series. Like other Go Nagai works that I've seen, it started out kind of okay but then carried on building upon itself until it was pretty awesome. Despite the fact that my enjoyment of the series increased overtime the actual quality of the production remained fairly flat, which is a little disappointing. Despite some nice moments here and there this OVA looked kind of rough in a number of spots. There was an unpleasant mixture of off-model character designs and lousy animation that wasn't helped by some extremely flat visual direction and questionable editing. I enjoyed the show in spite of these issues only because I was entrained by the course the story went it and how blood thirsty everyone was.

Incidentally, I think this is why I could never get into Mazinkaiser or Mazinkaiser SKL, they just felt like very tepid works that never went full on insane like this series does.

Considering everything I've said above it's really quite hard for to recommend this series. If you've already seen some much better Super Robot stuff e.g. Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, Giant Robo and Shin Mazinger Z and you want more of the than this series might be up your ally. For everyone else, I'd check one of the far more polished offerings that are available.

 

[BluWacky]

I enjoyed Boku no Pico.

I assume it's just "on the list" because 4chan latched onto it for being hardcore shotacon pornography. Having not seen it, presumably it's unpleasant viewing in a different way to the other troll recommendations people like to throw out like School Days.

 

[Chet Rippo]

Shit, that's some prime Escher Girls material right there.

The more I look at it, the less I understand what's going on.

 

[Haly]

It's unpleasant because it's shotacon, that's all.

 

[Jex]

And considering that Psycho-Pass already looked like a poor man's GitS, the circle is now complete.

Now, from what I've seen of the Arise trailer it looks a little bit better than that.

 

[SDBurton]

It's too bad about the whole, face thing.

Yeah, that's bothering me too.

 

[Haly]

That's not something you should say out loud !

It's okay, none of you are real peoples so it doesn't count.

 

[yami4ct]

Cool thing make you sad?

No, bad story, bad characters, and bad CG robots with terrible designs made me sad. They managed to even ruin the action, the only part that made the original even remotely watchable.

 

[Chet Rippo]

They should stick to mecha.

What mecha?

 

[Milamber]

What mecha?

All I see is teenage angst too.

 

[Dedication Through Light]

All I see is teenage angst too.

Thats bad? Anyway that seems like it would fit Valvrave more.

 

[Regulus Tera]

I'm glad you enjoyed it. Hopefully other's will follow in your wake!

Judging by the lack of noise by anyone else in this thread, not very likely.

 

[yami4ct]

And considering that Psycho-Pass already looked like a poor man's GitS, the circle is now complete.

After seeing the trailer, I don't think it looked quite as uninteresting as Psycho-Pass. Character designs were odd and color was off, but the overall world design looks cool. Like some of the tech design like the bike. Music was good too. Look doesn't matter much to me anyway. New GitS will make or break on story.

∀ Gundam: Called Turn-A-Gundam 40

That is one weird scuba-suit

Dat

Spoiler

canal fighting.

Loran's really got the hang of things now.

∀ Gundam: Called Turn-A-Gundam 41

Dumpling dono! Boy this guy is useless and stubborn.

I'm still enjoying this but am getting tired of all this stalling there seems to be going on. It doesn't even feel surprising anymore.

∀ Gundam: Called Turn-A-Gundam 42

I still can't get used to this guy's face. I'm impressed they haven't killed him yet.

The Dianas and Harry taking care of things! I still can't see how they could let

Spoiler

Agrippa escape.

that's actually a running grudge I have with the show, it's like no-one in the show ever wants to do anything. Diana Counter running around ignoring orders with no consequence being repeatedly betrayed by the same people. It's like they have 3 second memories or something. Loran must also be a moron.

Spoiler

Why on earth would you even consider handing over your only bargaining chip when there is nothing stopping them from killing you once you do?

∀ Gundam: Called Turn-A-Gundam 43

Who let Kojima write this show?

Some crazy stuff. Some of it expected but crazy stuff nonetheless. Also Harry is still being awesome.

 

[Jex]

Judging by the lack of noise by anyone else in this thread, not very likely.

Sometimes you can't necessarily see the consequences of your actions immediately. There are more readers than contributors, at any rate.

I just hope they don't follow your example of wading through the Island Arc. While those episodes are far from the worst thing ever created I really don't like how the ruin the tempo of the series.

 

[Regulus Tera]

^^oh you!

That's it? Is that your reaction? Bah, you are not fun!

I won't let myself get swindled by your hater hivemind! Evilore said so!
