Futari wa Precure Max Heart 24:

Ochofujin from season one gets dragged back into the show for an episode to...uhh...basically nothing. Even though she doesn't even attend Verone anymore, she crashes the lacrosse club field trip just to stalk Nagisa, who she's apparently developed a raging yuri crush on since her graduation. I mean, I like these callbacks to things from the first season in the past couple of episodes, but this alone isn't going to improve the show as long as episodes remain so stiff and lifeless.

Whoever animated the stock footage for this show has a weird, weird fixation on people flailing their arms unnecessarily. I'll create a compilation gif one of these days.

Running post-ep.22 vindication tally:

Max Heart gets better - 0
Max Heart stays shitty - 2

Why are you doing this to yourself, dude?

I'm trying to plow whore make my way to 300 animu before this season stuff stops airing so I might as well.

EDIT: I've also never watched a Satoshi Kon film so I guess I'm an even more terrible person now than I will be after I watch it.

It is a worthy endeavor. Really really enjoyable movie. I've seen it so many times. It should get a bluray release. I wish it would :(

Guys i want to get into Anime more. I'm looking to buy a few series, what are the best? I'm open to anything really. I figured this would be the best place to ask.

I'm afraid to start 00 seeing as I've already watched Turn A. How would I regain my confidence in Gundam?
Watch the 08th MS Team.

Do it! Then watch Perfect Blue.

Well, he's the best Char clone. Mostly because he's a unique character who happens to wear a mask.

Zechs was lame.

Zechs was great! He had an awesome voice and everything.

What if I haven't watched G Gundam yet? What then?

Let G Gundam cleanse you of the awful that is 00. 00 is the 2nd worst Gundam series ever.

War in the Pocket- Final

Awww, maaaaaan. When the principal said we have lost friends I got all choked up. I'm impressed by how emotional and how good a job making you care about its characters this show did in the mere 6 episodes it had. It really convinces me that most mecha shows simply do not need these bloated 50 episodes to achieve that goal.

So now that I've finished War in the Pocket, where do I go?
 
The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya 27 - Day of Sagittarius

Possible one of the top three episodes of the anime. The episode was just so good even the animation stuff they did of characters in game, typical Kyon Koizumi conversation in the clubroom, what was wagered and the method of play. Was so proud of all of the SOS members. Im going to miss this so much once I finish the last episode and then that long movie. Are there really no plans to continue this franchise? I did get the Kyon Koizumi manga thing, though.

Also did pick up a few anime today.

Viz Media (US) has a survey inquiring what unlicensed anime would people like them to license and more.

What sort of stuff do you like? It's a bit weird to just jump in and buy stuff you haven't seen, as well. The crap kind of builds after a while.

I'm stuck at the suggestions for unlicensed anime part because I'm not sure which anime have been licensed by Sentai/Funimation/etc. for physical release and which have only been licensed for streaming on Crunchyroll/Funi/Hulu/etc. Is there a site that keeps track of this?

What are you into? I am afraid to recommend something that might turn you away from the medium.

If you like Action, the Darker than Black is good way to start, I would really recommend Baccano for great characterisation. Toradora if you want some light heart fun.

I used to love DBZ and adore Studio Ghibli films. I'm open to anything really. Perhaps some dark sci-fi kinda stuff or some nice fantasy. idk, just acclaimed anime ^^

Yeah, the ending for 0080 always hits me where it hurts. Such a fantastic work.

0083 is next, but you could just skip that because nobody likes it and move on to Zeta. (Disclaimer: There might be some people who like 0083)

That's kinda where I am.

I also don't want to say Hyouka cause Viz isn't known for releasing LE sets. I guess I could just say Sket Dance to fill it in.

Well that question makes it seem as if they are looking into release LE sets again (they did do that for the first three Bleach boxsets back a long time ago and had that bonus plush or something for some Naruto sets)

I ended up keeping it recent and asked for Hyouka, Chihayafuru, Jojo, Smile, and Hells, as insanely unrealistic as some of those are. When asked why I wanted Viz to release these, I just said "I doubt that most of these fit your company profile, I'm just being honest about what I want" :lol

One day I'm going to write up blurbs of shows I'd recommend along with some representative screens and just save the pre-formatted posts on google docs or something for easy access.
That's what I'm slowly doing, cept without a blurb as I'm too lazy to do that. dropbox + notepad++ = ownage
