First Nendoroid I've seen that creeps me out.

I thought this was the nendoroid version, apparently it isn't. Still creepy.

Maturity, bitches.
and one response of "50... million" that I wasn't sure to take as a joke or just as 50 -- but they did provide percentages for the "hours on AnimeGAF" question that I could use towards the average.
Yeah it was a bit of a joke. I was hoping it would be read as just 50, but no worries. Thinking about it that's probably a bit of an exaggeration... or maybe not. My percentage was probably close though since I tend to stick to the subscribe threads panel and refresh it every so often and since this thread moves at a rate of knots I will often click on it every time.

But it's even one of the faces included with the Nendoroid.

Purple eyes... that could go with the Akari nendo...

No wait. If I start thinking of getting Nendo's for the parts rather than the figurine as a hole I'll be in deep doo doo.


AWWW MAN! That limited edition Akari was a transparent one and its sold out. :((((( I would have gotten it despite the premium. :(((((

Anyone know other sites to get it from???

Only 7777 produced!? Oh come on! Could have given us a better chance. :((((

EDIT: I'm going to lie to myself and say it would have been better with no eyes and an AKARI~N accessory rather than writing it directly on the figurine to make me feel better. :((((

I dont like that Gintama's movie title ;_____;

Martian Successor Nadesico 07

I can't follow even that occuring in this show

From ridiculous shit like this.


Then its shift to angst drama, mech fight, and suddenly to harem hijink again and DRAMA again.

Just what the fuck happened.
 

Seraphis Cain

bad gameplay lol
Inferno Cop 12

Why is it I feel uneasy when an Imaishi show tells me that it's "To Be Continued"? I feel like there's a high chance I may be getting trolled here. :lol

Joshiraku 1

So I randomly picked this out without knowing a thing about it.

Yep, this is the most Japanese humor I've ever seen.

Also, GOD TIER ED.

What exactly happened to all Clamp series: particularly xxxHolic and Tsubasa (I would really like some kind of continuation or ending to that)? Talking about anime here.

Mouryou no Hako 10

There is nothing mysterious in this world. Our answers do not satisfy us. What were we searching for? What remains shrouded in secrecy?

The more I see these short story excerpt previews, the more I like them. They set the tone for the episode, and I like how they use the characters in the series. Very mysterious.

Kyougokudou had yet another infodump on mouryou for us here, and it was pretty tough for me to follow. That makes sense, though; he was trying to use his knowledge to intimidate someone who knew much less. He could have said almost anything, and it wouldn't have mattered if it were right or wrong.

The show's approach to spirituality is very interesting. The characters have no qualms with cutting the wind out from under any sort of assumed clarivoyance or spiritual power. But it's clear that for some of them, invisible spirits like oni or mouryou are very much real. Even though we don't see them, they impact our lives, and ritual can purge them or invite them. I wonder if there's some symbolic link between mouryou and knowledge in general.

This episode had some good distressed faces in it.
"The Collector's Garden" gives us even more to chew on when it comes to box and spirit symbolism. It brings us back to the idea of the eternal, unchanging thing being separated from transient existence. I suspect that will come back in a more detailed form.

We have more answers, but some major questions from early on have been ignored for some time. It's implied that the answers we will find would be better off unknown, but that's just a way to make us more curious.

I don't know about xxxHolic (didn't it have a decent run with 3 seasons to it?), but apparently Clamp didn't like how Bee Train was handling TRC and had them stop. At least, that's what I've heard.

That's bad... in the middle of a story too. Anime wasn't great, but I liked style, and story and action scenes, although they used to be repeated a lot!

edited: Wouldn't mind Juuni Kokki continuation too. *heavy sigh*

At least we got some nice Kajiura Yuki music from it. TRC has one of my favorite Kajiura soundtracks (and I'm usually only lukewarm on her work, to be honest). Nostalgia might play into it too, since that's around when I started watching anime lol.

Did you watch the OVAs? They animated the Tokyo arc and at least part of the Seresu arc - I admit to stopping following the anime so I don't know how much.

As for xxxHolic, the OVAs do give it some form of conclusion as they adapt the ending there. The Shunmuki OVA doesn't seem that crucial but Ro gives the series an ending (with Adayume adding something of an epilogue).

Now that's never going to happen. The final major arc has never been finished, so there's nothing left to adapt.

You'll definitely wanna give these TL Notes by the translator a read after each episode.

Vividred Operations 6

Finally got to see the context for the infamous "Don't Push" image. Needless to say, it was amazing.
Now if only the rest of the series was as amazing. :(

Ya, I've seen OVAs, great watch. Simply want more, much more would be even better!

It does? May be I missed some, wanna know where is Yuuko.

I'm aware of that, it won't stop me from wanting till the end of times :(

I was slightly tempted by this glow in the dark Akari t-shirt.

Though that name label ruins it completely. That and the best place to wear it is a nightclub which is probably the last place you'd want to wear it.

I'm still slightly tempted to make my own with my own design. Probably invert it so the Akari~n effect happens when you're in the dark.

Uniqlo is the only brand doing cool manga/anime shirts imo
You already bought some.
