I don't see anything about any Digimen.

Yes, I can't imagine why his award-winning films are more marketable

Not having seen any JoJo sales myself yet, I am pleased.

Aquarion Evol

As if the story for this series couldn't get dumber, they managed to outdo themselves.
Between Amata

Spoiler

forgiving his mother over some dubious reasons, Kagura being Amata's split soul, their soul being the soul of a dog, Aquarion Evol turning into Aquarion Love and all the other dumb shit in the show, I feel that the fanservice in the show provided by Zessica's slutty attire (lol at the one where a couple stripes in the form of a X are all that's basically keeping her boobs up) wasn't really worth it... though at least now I can properly enjoy all the porn featuring her.

What would Pachter make of these numbers? We must know!

Something to do with overall quality probably.

 

[Articalys]

Oh, and since Chuunibyou got mentioned recently, it's worth pointing out that the BD 3 booklet has what every fan always wants for KyoAni shows set in high school: a full class roster / seating chart, with family names (no given names, it looks like) and portraits.

 

[Moonlight]

I wish they'd do something like that for Hyouka. Or, I dunno, the festival booklet at least.

 

[firehawk12]

"Nintendo is going down the drain by not hiring David Productions to make Pokemon Special OVAs in the style of JoJo's"

"I think they misfired on Tamako Market," said Pachter. "It's just not that different from the other existing animes, and the animation isn't as unique as the Nekomonogatari. They made a mistake, it's something they probably can't recover from."

Oh, and since Chuunibyou got mentioned recently, it's worth pointing out that the BD 3 booklet has what every fan always wants for KyoAni shows set in high school: a full class roster / seating chart, with names and portraits.

I like how they're colour-coded... just in case!

Vividred Operation 4

You mean to tell me a super hacker in the future would use some shitty Note-esque phone running Mobile Windows? Get real.

Row 3, Column 5 looks like something out of a key anime. Pretty fitting for a such a key-esque show.

It's about time. This is pretty cool.

The guy in the trope protag seat does not look like one though :lol

 

[Jintor]

I just remembered Digimon Adventures 02 had that weird standalone episode that was almost entirely a shoutout to HP Lovecraft that I think was never brought up or remarked upon again. What the what.

 

[Dresden]

Girl in the second to the last seat by the window is going to be the lead for Chuu2-2.

It's like a steady downhill slide after the original game op.

 

[Articalys]

Some cool live action + animation stuff going on in the OP for that Steins;Gate spinoff/sidestory game. But still... not a Kanako Itou song?

 

[Kincaido]

Touka was the best thing about Chu2.

 

[Thoraxes]

Touka was the best thing about Chu2.

Kumin is number 2.

Nibutani > Touka > Deko > *

 

[Kincaido]

Kumin is number 2.

Agreed.

Edit: Never mind, forgot about Nibutani :x

 

[Thoraxes]

Agreed.

Edit: Never mind, forgot about Nibutani :x

Oh shit me too!

It's a tough call. I mean, on one hand we have that angelic voice, but on the other, it's Nibutani.

Well, now I know what I'm doing in my next playthrough of Artificial Academy.

 

[Thoraxes]

Bloody Stream hell yes.

 

[Haly]

Man that is a LOT of girls.

I wish my classes had that many cute kyo-ani girls.

 

[sonicmj1]

Man that is a LOT of girls.

I wish my classes had that many cute kyo-ani girls.

The guy:girl ratio in that class is 1:2.

I'd go to that high school if I had a choice.

 

[jgminto]

So good, Bloody Stream. Hopefully they will be able to up the awesome even more with the OP song for the inevitable Stardust Crusaders episodes. Although I'm not sure if it's possible.

 

[Thoraxes]

This is how all my AP classes ended up in high school, but that was more 1:3.

It was the life.

Love Live 7

But its been there since episode two.

 

[kayos90]

Oh, for those curious, Accel World LN volume 13 (the newest one) sold 43,538 copies in its debut week.

That's about 40,000 copies less than the newest Kuroko's Basketball Character Book, for what it's worth, but at the same time about 26,000 copies more than the newest Ro-Kyu-Bu volume.

Vol 13 is out? Oh shit!

 

[wonzo]

Vividred Operation 5-6

The homura expy episode was dumb as hell but fortunately the following one was fun as hell thanks to the abundance of LIFE, HOMETOWN & THE POWER OF FRIENDSHIP. Hell, it even had 2D mecha!

 

[Conan-san]

Vividred Operation 5-6

Hilarity also ensued when conspicuous buttons were pushed.

All in all, a good day out for all the family*.

(*probably not recomposed viewing for family)

 

[Dresden]

You forgot to mention the scarf, wonzo.

Scarf + boobs is best.

 

[wonzo]

You forgot to mention the scarf, wonzo.

Scarf + boobs is best.

It's somewhere between Life & Hometown. Easily the best scarf in recent memory.

This is like redux of certain school saving anime with tank.. hmm.

Digimon: Our War Game

And surely defeating the enemy by

spamming his e-mail with forwards and thus slowing down his response time

is one of the more hilarious ways to achieve victory.

Think how hilarious it would be if this movie were remade today and instead of using

they had a Twitter partnership for the climax of the movie.

 

[cajunator]

Futari Wa Precure 25

I'm gonna go ahead and spoil this entire post from here on.

Spoiler

The Precure finally obtained all 7 of the prism stones and seemingly restored the peace. Mipple and Mepple tranport Nagisa and honoka to the Garden of Light to see what they have saved. The Precure girls meet the elders and creatures in the garden, one of which looks like Toad. They also meet the Queen, who is gigantic. The elder leads them to an altar where the Prism Hopish containing all seven stones is placed in order to restore everything that was destroyed. However, the Dark King transports himself to the garden and steals the Prism Hopish along with the Precure themselves and they awaken in the Dark Kingdom before the Dark King himself.

OH SHIT.

[Regulus Tera]

Our War Game is also hindered by the fact that Digimon is an awful series.

Spoken like a true Pokéwarrior.

 

[Maedhros]

Wow... peple like Hosoda's style (it's the guy that directed that episode of TTGL, right?)? I thought they were the same. Consider I'm talking about the guy who directed OP Movie 6 and Digimon OWG.

I always knew this thread was full of bad taste, but... that's too much. Shit is gross... OP Movie 6 strenghts aren't on the art, that's for sure. OWG looks like shite too, compared to the main series. Never watched Summer Wars.

Why Sora WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Poor Taichi betrayed by his best friend ;__;

Matt won not only in love, but (Digimon 02 spoilers)

I was saddened to hear about how bad your eyesight has deteriorated.

No, Chet is right about that. That Our War Game looks great despite the original designs is of great praise to Hosoda.

 

[Maedhros]

Maybe... never watched. But One Piece and Digimon looks GROSS. Maybe they animate well, like these two movies. I loved how crazy it looks in motion. But character design wise, it looks pretty bad.
