Everything's looking good so far!
I'm still not liking the Hirai character designs. But then again I've never liked his work much and it won't stop me from watching.

Senyuu would deserve it, oh and I guess if we could have 24 minutes of the second halfs of Straight Title Robot Anime.
This piece in particular is really phenomenal, I think.
Hype building for this all of a sudden.

Okay, I guess that was kind of a poor question. I'm smart enough by now to know when I've fucked up.
As an apology, have some Pegasus MANLINESS, just in time for White Day.

Mr. Anno's love for telephone poles and power lines is truly second-to-none, although I expected you to take advantage of his 'realist inspiration' to call him a hack as always...
now that I think about it, seeing el Puente de Alamillo at the GeoFront made me at first wonder how much GEHIRN/NERV had to pay on inflated fees for the commissioned project to Santiago Calatrava, as is usual with him. 
But look at that hair on the one by Masayuki and tell me it isn't lovely enough to give that scene the edge over the rest!
Yeah, yeah... you start by casually partying with Mr. Anno and end up arguing with him about Yamato while he wants to change your whole work of love into a straightforward remake:

This whole talk between the two is so cool; two nostalgic friends and their juvenile passion! Nice!
What about BEAMS (BEAMS T)? Specially those pieces designed by Tsuyoshi Hirooka...
I still treasure these ones (http://www.hrk-d.com/?p=1716 & http://www.hrk-d.com/?p=1695).
Man, Sakura-Con is really ramping up their guest list -- now on the roster is WIT studio co-founder Joji Wada.
Can you imagine full-speed episodes of rapid fire Te-kyū with that length? Oh, my...

Dat deus ex machina...
"I never thought the power of the Prism Stones would be this powerful!"....WHAT?! Aren't you the guy who was saying that the Prism Stones would bring immortality to Dotsuku Zone? Aren't you the one who said they would grant Jyaku King unlimited power or something like that? And now you're saying you didn't think they would be that powerful?! Oh yeah, you could totally see the power bringing immortality and god-status, but as soon as it's overwhelming you a little you act like you had no idea. WTF?! Unsatisfying end to this arc imo.
And now Porun's here. And I think I see what you guys were talking about.

This series definitely has the best designs. I'm just putting that out there.
I'm really hoping Attack on Titan gets a lot of exposure at Anime Expo and Otakon this year compared to SAO but I know that won't happen.

Who would license the anime? (does it have cosplayers, actually good ones?)
Jex
Member
I know this is a kind of cheating non-answer, but I wouldn't want to see any of them expanded to a full runtime. These kinds of works shows tend to be comedies which have the potential to drag quite badly if they're stretched out too much.
To answer a question you never asked, I think Excel Saga would work better as a five minute comedy. Twenty-four minutes of that show can really grind you down.
Be strong.

If a character can still look cool in their pyjamas you know that they're pretty fundamentally awesome.
Yep this is where I was like WTF? Because this is the halfway point! But it does go on, and the villains stop fucking around.
No strength needed, or else I am simply stronger than all of you. I love that little guy.
Funimation is almost certainly getting the license. As for cosplay, how many anime have good cosplayers in general?

I can't think of a compelling argument as to why one should watch 00 Gundam. Avoid it.

In which we learn about the dangers of letting the battle for an election within a representative democracy overshadow the the all-important issue of what the candidates actually claim they will do in office. Is this the Achilles heel of representational democratic systems and, if it is, what's the best way to tackle this thorny issue? Campaign finance reform? Limit the election cycle? Or perhaps the ancient Athenians had the right idea: random lottery.

Porun wasn't that bad this episode. He really just took Pretty Cure where they needed to go though.
But now Pretty Cure are faced up against Jyaku King. They look boned. Wisdom is also with them though. Maybe he's super powerful with the Prism Stones or something. He better be capable since he's the one who guards them.

That's the brutal truth, at least for DVD's.
On the flip-side, that does give us the most deliciously releases if/when they ever come out.

If I ever find any of them, I'll send them right along. I suspect most of them won't be self-identifying due to the shame of liking 0083, though.

He may be a hack from a story-telling perspective (dude should stop self-plagiarising), but he's damn good at framing a scene!
That half-smile doesn't convince me, sorry.
This is the awesomest thing ever.
Wait did they seriously recycle the "Break the Floatation Ring" bullshit from like thirteen years ago?
RIP
anyway...Dotsuku Zone? Jyaku King? Is this what they say in the dub?

im a few episodes in tamako market and i really like it so far. very charming, love the art and the varied cast of characters. only thing is that people are really okay with a talking bird around and they really didnt see shocked at all but i guess its not a big deal in the grand scheme of things.

Well. You see. I can't really say. It's too funny.
I'm watching it on Crunchyroll. That's what the sub says. I think.

It's less physics like ruining tides or bringing down an entire castle and more magical prophecy bullshit that somehow wins the duel. Take your pick which is better.
To be fair, I don't think I had a problem with the designs initially (Kira, Lacus, Athrun, Mu, Murrue, whatevs) but by the end of SEED I had a few I loathed (The Adjusteds or whatever, but it helps that they were just terrible characters.)
My only real complaint with the guy was that everyone had weird, gelatinous faces and tiny fingers. It's been years since then, so maybe he's got that under control.
Is there a support group for people who've seen Eva 3.0? I've been agonizingly remembering it all day, and I need someone to hold me. NOTE: I loved the movie, and when I say "I have no idea what just happened" I don't mean I can't give an account of the events, just that what all of it meant kinda eludes me.

More like two years.
Ah. It's just that those are unnecessary non-translations considering that they're just "Dark Zone" and "Dark King" respectively.
I'd watch a full-length Yu-Gi-Oh series with Duelist Kingdom logic.
Same, that was tons of fun.

Well yeah characters designs for secondary characters were rather poor mostly. Maybe it's just that because I loved SEED so much having same designs and same genre for this show gives me hope that I can get some kind of SEED fix from this (as the movie project for SEED has died... =( )

Okay, that "false pregnancy" bit was gold. And I'm sure I didn't even get a lot of the references/puns. Still great!

Cocopops Connect 14-17
Been meaning to finish this series for ages. I found the original TV run an alright show in the end which is why I wasn't in a great rush to watch this final batch of episodes. But I'lm glad I made the effort to do so. I won't even let the voice actor prank controversy affect my judgement because quite frankly I found the whole thing got way overblown.
So anywho back to Totoro Connect. I'd actually say this was one of the stronger phenomenon arcs of the whole lot but a lot of it benefits from the stories built up from the previous episodes. Iori was the stand out character of this arc for the obvious reason that it was focused on her, but also because she finally snapped out of the fake personality she was always putting on. What I thought was odd is that she hadn't kept the fact she puts on a fake personality a secret. Even I remembered this and I haven't seen the show in yonks, and yet none of the character, especially Taichi, seemed to cotton on. Come on son.
All in all this wrapped up the show nicely since the show did feel a little unifinished after episode 13. Dodgy lass who was introduced in this arc
Also protip to any wannabe rudeboys: Don't commit a crime in your school uniform. How stupid is that? Especially when your blazer is not a standard colour like black or blue. So if you only watched the TV broadcast of Cocacola Connect and haven't watched this bonus set of episodes I'd recommend you do so when you get the chance.

cuts her end at the end which is always a bonus as we all know shoulderish length is best length.

Haha, I'm surprised you found that post. lol
But both, of course! Also get Wheaton to do a voice!
Maybe it was just what all anime girls looked like at the time. lol
