Support NeoGAF

[yami4ct]

Dont know why they'd g for that instead of Toriko, and unfortunate that it didnt end up being Sword Art Online, guess that will go to Neon Alley...

For one, neither of them are long enough. I'm willing to bet Toonami is setting up for a Bleach replacement. They need a long running show they can rely on week to week to grab ratings. Toriko is just now getting its dub done now. No way Funimation could get far ahead enough for a weekly show.

Man, SAO on toonami would be hilarious. It'd be worth it to see the toonami-gaf thread just devolve into madness. Still hope they end up getting E7:AO for the same reason.

 

[Dedication Through Light]

Ishida & Asakura 10

Diary moment made me laugh.

Gintama 6

The ending theme is still quite good. Whole police escape seen and Shinpachi moments, especially his Kintama thing, was the most memorable parts. Really good mix of some emotional stuff with the daughter plot and comedy.

Cuticle Detective Inaba 10

Way too funny. So much of the first half had me laughing. Just all the characters and their comments on the farm, Ogi being caught up in the cute pictures

Spoiler

when he told the big Don to sit

and many more and even second half with Don power, the glimpse of Lorenzo, Ogi/Inaba devotion stuff, and Soumei.

Now you're making me wish Guilty Crown, SAO, E7:AO, Blood-C actually come to Toonami.

I have high hopes AO will make it on there. They've been replaying E7 and it's a pretty good ratings getter for them. Blood-C, though. Oh boy, a man can dream. A man can dream.

Okay then. Now that I'm done with everything iM@S related (save for Puchimas!), I guess it's finally ranking time!

Best tier
Ritsuko

Best if you don't count Ritsuko as an idol, in which case fuck you tier
Chihaya
Iori
Makoto

Best in spite of having the worst focus episode tier
Hibiki

Pretty good tier
Haruka
Azusa
Yayoi
Otonashi

Meh tier
Takane
Ami
Mami

Are you even IN this show tier
Yukiho

I wish you WEREN'T in this show tier
Miki

Makoto, Iori, and Chihaya are my top 3, so I suggest that we should be great tomodachis.

I think most reasonable people hope that things which look and sound interesting do end up good! It's just unfortunate that often reality is sad. At least we're not always disappointed 100% of the time. The exceptions make it all worthwhile!

Shit, I had to have this one explained to me -- let's see who here is the fastest to figure it out themselves and prove me an idiot.

The super-Engrishy b-side song on the Psycho-Pass ED2 single is titled "elbadaernU". Why that name?

Dammit you caught it before my edit to make it not serious.

 

[Jex]

Armoured Trooper VOTOMS 03

Yep this is still an 80s show. Also what the hell is wrong with her thighs? I could get Chirico pilot suit and all but look at this. Moe ruining anime etc. A fairly solid episode, the ending should indicate that things are about to get going on the next one too which is good!

If you haven't already you should ensure to always watch the next-episosde previews. They're god damn amazing. If you've missed them so far go back and check them out right now!

towards the end of the film Ame's master dies in the forest and he decides that he has to take over his role in the forest. My only question is - what, exactly, was his master doing all that time? Running around? Hunting rabbits? I think the forest can survive without someone filling in that very important role. Ame is clearly just a dick.

Regulating.

As I took it, that's simply an extension of the cultural significance of the Wolf in Japan. Being a protector that has ascended into folklore. Ame is simply embracing that "destiny".

It wasn't well described in the film, I'll admit. I just sort of assumed that

the fox was the protector of the wood. He helped keep things in line. He kept foreigners out and made sure to keep a balance in the forest

I'll admit that absolutely none of that was demonstrated in the film, but that's just the feeling I got. And yeah, Ame is kind of a dick.

Spoiler

Ame was always try to find his purpose, whereas Yuki - whether she was indulging her more feral side, before turning to a normal life - was always more steadfast in her approach.

I think Ame feels almost duty-bound in a way. Which would have been exacerbated by saying the other wolf living out its days in captivity too. Their true nature is to act as the guardian of the mountain/forest, and he is truly the last one willing (or able) to assume that mantle. The culture significance of which is touched upon early into the film, with the farmers.

 

[yami4ct]

That promotion is not indicative of the show. Believe!

Honestly, I kind of wanted to put my stake in with Valvrave, but I'm fairly certain that show will end up disappointing me.

I've watched them on and off and yes they are pretty well done. The badass OP song playing during them helps a ton too. Kinda similar in structure to the Turn-A previews too.

Nah I'll go with the protector angle the others are going for.

Well based on that and

Is it a wolf thing or is a male thing?

Wolf Children is proof that females are the better gender.

No, I don't think making irrational decisions is solely a male thing.
