That sounds like a great deal! Preordered.
A new Yami disciple.
Excellent.
How did you rate it again? Something like "elephant oatmeal/10"
Totally got the feels in the beginning when Tanaka was being bullied and lost his school crush. At least he had the band to fall back on. I thought some of the music exec/black guy story was a bit much but it's still one of my favorite anime.
Yuru Yuri S1 was great. The S2 kinda sucked. Just like K-on!, 1 > 2.

Romanes Eunt Domus
You are probably the only person in the world who believes that.
How could you Cajun... How could you!
Yup. A 10/10 is fucking wrong. But a 0/10 is also wrong. And nothing in between quite conveys Yami. Elephant oatmeal describes Yami way better than some number.
I'm a sinner.
Well I guess that's all for this evening so it's goodnight from me and it's goodnight from him. Goodnight.

Yui's lyrical turnaround was simply remarkable. Her first lyrics were sub-kindergarten level lyrics. Seriously. It was a song about rice. "Rice as a Side Dish". Damn. And then she writes those lyrics about Ui, which were totally dawwwwwwwww. Mio better step her game up.
It's always tea with Mugi. Coffee > Tea. When will she learn? Now her tea cost them rehearsal at a rental studio, which they were using cause their home, the music room, was taken away. I remember when I was 9 years old I was without a home. I had to survive by eating rats and cooking them with a discarded cigarette lighter, and had to stay warm by using a crawl space outside a local restaurant. That was a hellish 47 minutes before I decided to go home and serve my day-long grounding for dragging a shovel across the kitchen tile.

Gunbuster 04 & 05: This anime is way more mature and deep than I would have thougt after watching the first episode. Thank you Chet to lure me into this.
Jojo 07: Not much to say really. Jojo is awesome, I can't wait to see the final (first arc) battle. I only read the manga until the beginning of arc 2 so I will be like crazy when I catch up. Hype.

Yep. I'm just hoping that they can grab as many extras as they can.

Holy shit. This show is really the most hilarious thing ever.
Fuck, I knew I was missing something.
Excellent... Did Chet already finish this?
One Piece: Episode of Nami
Good
Bad
Ugly
Admittedly some of my hangups are rooted in me expecting this to be something which it was not. Even if it didn't entirely click with me early on, I can't deny it was well done and better than the TV series.
Too cool.
Good
- Great visual upgrade over the TV series' take
- Slightly rearranged events flowed better
- God damn @ that action
- Awesome bit of recapping older fights in what I assume to be the current art style that was reminiscent of the second Kenshin OVA's brief recollections of the Kyoto arc in the OVA's art style.
- Gives me hope other arcs will be given such treatment (if possible)
- Bellemere stuff as heartbreaking as ever
- Fishmen's increased stature (I think anyhow) leaves them wonderfully imposing
- Compressed arc wisely focused on Nami's emotional conflict.
Bad
- Requires prior knowledge so not as standalone as I'd have liked.
- Apparently the hardest thing to draw is Luffy's hat.
- First third drags
Ugly
- CG Arlong Park

This really does me make sad. E7 had a truly phenomenal soundtrack, possibly my favorite of all time.
Well this should be entertaining...
Anyway I recently rewatched Morning Glory and the episode holds up remarkably well. There is some fantastic imagery in the show such as the stuffed pig being repeatedly slammed in the door symbolizing both Holland's feelings as well as how the Gekko is broken apart as a family. Both Holland and Renton have great chemistry in this episode but there is also something to be said about Eureka taking the initiative for once.
One thing when rewatching the show, it really reinforced how stellar the visual direction was in the series.

Just realized the girls who consistently be appearing in Vanguard come from Milky Holmes anime
Cardfight!! Vanguard 53 - 54 eng dub
Awesome fight for Kamui and Guy. Girl Power episode was surprisingly not that bad. I actually like Misaki's deck as it has some good cards that Ive mentioned before CEO Amaterasou, Lozenge Magus, Goddess of the Half Moon, Crescent Moon, Full Moon, Tsukuyoki, etc. So cant wait for 55 to see how the match concludes.

Kamui still needs to say FINAL TURN
Wow I didn't know Colorful was getting a US release.

This episode's pacing was all sorts of fucked in the last few minutes. It didn't stop it from being massively entertaining, and not to mention the best girl has now been introduced.
An ED for every girl? You're too kind to me A-1

Has to be one of Chet's favorites.
Mio has been honorably voted by her class to play Romeo in an upcoming performance of "Romeo and Juliet". Only problem is, she has stage fright and performance anxiety and just about everything in between. Nice choice dumbasses. Democracy doesn't work in a classroom setting. Kids don't give a fuck. And Ritsu has been selected to play Romeo.
Rehearsing later, they decide to play their roles as if they were each other, since each other seems much better for their roles. This begs the question as to why they didn't just switch roles to begin with, but I guess the people have spoken.
Then they try to help Mio by having everybody work as a waitress in a cafe of someone in Mugi's family. They all wear maid outfits, which is what I think the scene was setting up to begin with. Mio gets better, but there's still work to be done.
Will Mio kiss Ritsu in the pla? Since Chet Rippo and SDBurton haven't yet attained nirvana and because I haven't seen a gif of it fifty thousand times, I'm going to guess no.

It was only just announced yesterday afterall.

*Yawn*
This series is too freaking boring.
Thank you. I thought we were done for.

If I remember correctly, the director of that episode Masayuki Miyaji, took so long to finish that episode, it screwed up the production pace of the remaining episodes.
I think that was also the case with Miyaji's Xam'd, remember rumours about that stuff being posted on 2ch.
I mean, can't complain about the results. For me its one of the finest televised anime episodes ever made, everything about it is perfect, but its a shame the visual fidelity isn't as strong in the 2nd half of the show (though when its on point, it's on fucking point), pretty much my only complaint about the series.

Thanks for taking the hits for me.
Seems like it doesn't have to be either. It's just so much talking and boring shit put together that anything potentially entertaining fails to draw attention back in after it occurs.
Wrong guess.
The worst part is that the show has potential. The action-filled episodes 10 and 13 were pretty cool. But all the others were filled to the brim withh boring crap they'd never be able to make me care about in a thousand years, like Balbadd's class struggle. Just let the country rot and move on.
Exactly.

Well the thing with E7 is that it can really spike at times. The visual highs are among the best in mecha anime. I do agree that 26 doesn't have some those of 'ohshitohshitohshit' sakuga moments but it's still really well put together. Some of the shots in particular, such as The Swan(Ray and Charles ship) is in the clouds among the other Federation ships, are quite beautiful. One thing the show does exceptionally well is with the camera angles and the episode does have a few of those moments such as when Charles is chasing the Nirvash.
Xam'd also had some really fantastic visual stuff at times too. Hell the opening episode had a huge chunk of sakuga right from the getgo. Episode 14 was another stand out episode in that regards. It really is a shame that the only remarkable thing about Xam'd was the visuals and a few of the side-characters.
Pacing in the eps is just .. wtf. Also the show needs more Sinbad. Dude is super charismatic and isn't doing shit yet thanks to the bullshit depowering.

So it's still boring? Are we still on Namek?
I thought it was a good episode, but episode 24 had me BAWLING man. Freaking, they managed to get away with an awkward phrase like "this is how your father smells" because the entire scene was otherwise emotionally charged with Renton finally having a father again, and then when Renton is leaving and Ray is crying, man, when Ray starts crying its just so emotional.
Why?
Let's just say I see why everyone was excited about Balbadd getting enough episodes to do it justice:
