This was disjointed as hell. It's like a cancelled Shounen Jump series that still got a conclusion, but in the weirdest way possible. A lot of scenes felt like they didn't connect to each other right or something.
First hour was boring shit. The rest of it wasn't bad. Animation was all over the place. Couldn't even process some of the movement without watching an action a few times. Some of it was pretty good though, but I'd expect more out of a movie.
It wasn't awful, but this really isn't the finale Blood C deserves.
The 11th volume of Hiromitsu Takeda's Maken-Ki! action romantic comedy manga will bundle an original anime Blu-ray Disc in a limited edition in late September. The publisher Fujimi Shobo teases that the new anime is full of "sex appeal" and fan service on a tropical island.
The 3,990-yen (about US$43) bundle will also have a variant cover for the manga volume, and the print run will be limited to the number of pre-orders received.
Sweet. Good idea to watch the OVAs anyways (or one of the two at least)?
Also, I hope to god the soundtrack for Battle Tendency is as good as Phantom Blood. Sometimes it's hard to judge the merits of an OST while watching a show. The music is used in snippets and there are obvious distractions making it impossible to give it your full attention. The OST for Phantom Blood is masterfully crafted, dark, and brooding. There are little pockets of beauty, where the the light kind of shines through, and then it throws you back into the darkness. It's just so enveloping, warm sounding, and brilliant.
You can watch the OVAs (2001 one first), but keep in mind it's a relatively neutered adaptation that cuts out a lot. The trade off is it has some damn good animation which a part 3 from David Production likely wouldn't have. I'd still watch that too when it starts though.

Otona Joshi no Anime Time is an animation program targeted to women above 30 called Otona Joshi. The word Otona Joshi literally means grown up girls, and the word represents women who are eager to grow, learn, stay pretty and fashionable, enjoy life, seeking real love etc…regardless of their ages and their social status(single, married, with kids, no kids etc…. Therefore, Otona Joshi no Anime Time literally means Animation Time For Grown up Girls.
Each show presents 25 min. complete short story based on works by award winning & best selling female novelists in Japan. The show visualizes deep and ambivalent feelings of women in beautiful animation, a marriage of Japanese literature and animation! In each story, you may find part of yourself.
The idea was proposed by Curiouscope, and is co-produced with NHK Enterprises and NHK.
3 new stories will be aired in March 2013 on NHK BS Premium channel.
Title: Jinsei Best Ten, Original by Mitsuyo Kakuta
March 17 10:50~11:15 pm
A story about a single career woman who is becoming 40. Though her life seems decent, she feels that she hasn’t achieved anything in 40 years. The most brilliant event in her life is the kiss with her first boy friend when she was 13…nothing more dramatic happened since then. Today, she’s going to a reunion with a big expectation to meet first boyfriend for the first time in 25 years. A comical and a bittersweet story. Jinsei Best Ten means, the best ten events of my life. (Photo: Actress Miki Nakatani and Voice actor Hiroshi Kamiya)
Fresh survived Chiffon, which was another baby mascot that forced the characters into a nurturing role, but this thing is just so creepily humanoid. Who the fuck allowed this thing into the show?!
Oh for the love of- can we not have ONE Gundam pilot who isn't ridiculously convoluted in some way? Oh, well, at least Neil's convoluted thing isn't THAT far fetched. And the Nadleh's reveal was cool. Still want Tieria to die in a fire, and for Hallelujah to stop this split personality nonsense. It was so much better done with Lady Une.

You'll get one in the second season but I'm pretty sure you'll end up hating him. Hallelujah stuff actually has a neat payoff that makes it worth dealing with early on.
You can have issues. Just not be stupid contrived. I have no problem with Amuro having a father who is messed up and getting all uppity and freaking out when he kills someone because those were all believable issues. I have no problem with Quatre snapping briefly and blowing up a colony because hey, they just murdered his father for no good reason. I had no problem with having understandable issues.
I DO have problems with the contrived, convoluted bullcrap that passes for personality in Gundam 00. Tieria is probably a cyborg or something. Hallelujah has split personalities and oh noes now he thinks he is a monster! Setsuna killed his own parents because God is evil! Lockon has a guy who looks just like him or something! Quantum brain mechanics and Maesters oh my!
It all sounds like something I'd write in a fan fic 10 years ago after I'd just finished FF10 or something.
I still can't believe they used a soap opera trope to introduce the new Lockon in S2. Like, seriously. How stupid is that? Looks like him, sounds like him, acts like him, even has the same freaking skills >_>

It's exponential then. Sunrise has no other option than to go even more psychotic with their pilots. Maybe that's why they're doing that original gundam reboot, Amuro ain't crazy enough.

The fact that people still talk about Gundam 00 so long after the fact shows that it still generates interest! Maybe Sunrise was doing something right after all....
Soon I'll pick up the banner where you fell in Max Heart and carry it across that terrible and unseen finish line. This is the time that all of my training was for.
btw weren't you going to watch Smile in exchange for me watching SuperS? I won't have a good night's sleep until I see you sporting a Wolfrun avatar.

I prayed every day Neil didn't actually die then some game came out and showed his still face with blood on it and a shattered helmet visor. I think the condensed movie version had something similar that left no doubt that he was dead dead dead.
That said, Haro taking Dynames back to the Ptolemy and the slow realization of what happened as he keeps crying out for Lockon is like simultaneously so damn sad yet so damn good. Probably the best part of the show, maybe even the emotional apex!
Awww man, now you've reminded me how sorely I miss FMP!. Would kill to see Sigma animated. And then kill again to get FMP! and Rin-ne into the next SRW.

It's like group therapy for people in abusive relationships. It was great when it started out but look at us now. Surely the bad times weren't going to last forever, right? ...right?

There are productive tests of endurance like the Boston marathon and then there's seeing how many times you can slam your head against the wall before you pass out.
This is the latter, man. Quit while you're still sane.
Near the beginning of the episode Erika mentions that Tsubomi isn't wearing her glasses and changed her hair style. I noticed that before and wondered what had happened in regards to her glasses. Is she wearing contacts or does she not really need them and it was just a self aware visual representation of her being more introverted and closing herself off to others?
Erika shows up a lot more in this episode unlike the last one and I didn't really have any problems here unlike during the first episode. If she was maybe in somebody's face a bit more it just felt more along the lines of a genki girls general excited nature or Tusbomi was now there to reel her in. The reaction faces were varied and entertaining this episode as well. I may be mistaken but I don't think I've seen a little microphone in the mouth to visibly show someone as yelling.
I've heard different one's mention a Cure
Marine
and now I know which show she's from and who it is. Actually her introduction into a PreCure is probably one of the most, or possibly the most, interesting I've seen. She just went through everything on her own and when asked how she knew it was basically she just used her "dream" as a PreCure tutorial and just did what she saw Tsubomi do, haha. Even her whole
I've actually been thinking up a name for myself since this morning
line was pretty amusing. Her transformation was pretty good too.
Naturally she's already in your face so the fight being analogous to something out of a video game would be like having your opponent just trying to block everything or getting hit and then suddenly switching out and going into full out offensive rush down mode.
The ultimate solution to the problems around this episodes person actually seemed really obvious right from the start. I immediately thought of it as at least a possible solution to try depending on how the school operates it's rules but ultimately it's not that big of a deal I suppose. The show is more aimed at little girls so having the message that they should have at least the opportunity to play soccer just as much as the boys is ultimately a good one.
The girls actually seem to be getting along pretty quickly. Although Erika did seem to take a rather instant liking to Tsubomi. I'm sure SDBurton was happy with the little bit of
hand holding
at the end of the episode.
The heart seed production still kind of weirds me out though...
I like the ending song and dance but I'm still not sure what to think of the designs.
