that's too grim to happen. obvious solution is that she leaves her tank and game to save her sister and they lose the game because of that, that surely will change the mother's perception
If only AKB49 had taken that route.

She can't lose otherwise though, or their school will close down!that's too grim to happen. obvious solution is that she leaves her tank and game to save her sister and they lose the game because of that, that surely will change the mother's perception
No wonder Love Live is so similar!
I agree!
If only.

Okay, I know what I said earlier, but this had to be mentioned.
I got on a Game Center CX kick recently and have been going through some episodes. Right now I'm watching a special where he travels through Hokkaido to find the "northernmost arcade game in Japan," ending the journey in the far north city of Wakkanai, where he holds an autograph event. Some of the fans there even brought small presents for him.
One gift, from a young woman, turns out to be a Cream Lemon DVD. Arino notes he'll keep it a secret from his wife.

Did you watch USA special?
I may have over embellished about the special. It's just basically a rerun.
I don't know about the manga, but there is thing that seems quite popular in sports anime, transfer students comes in and turns around school's team which is poor and weak, and they kick some ass but in the end they will still lose to this rival team but very closely, and that winning doesn't matter let's be friends blah blah. so far I think GuP is looking exactly like that and hinting at that.
I think after popularity of GuP they are definitely looking at future seasons, I'm not sure losing the game would be good for continuing the series or not, could go either way now. they had time to change the ending too
Sure, but in those cases,
the school won't be shut down if they lose. If they don't win in GnP, Ooarai won't exist anymore, and Miho will be disowned.
They could get around those things through plot even if they lose, but winning wouldn't rule out a second season either. They could just come back with a bigger tournament (worldwide?) and new tanks.

Sorry for not following things closely, but time for my seasonal anime post. In terms of upcoming shows I'm interested in:
RDG
Devil Survivor 2
Majestic Prince
Shingeki no kyojin
Valvrave
Gargantia
Aku No Hana
Given that list, anything else I should be looking out for? (Or anything there that is likely to be crap). And is Railgun worth catching up with for S?

I'm in a DBZ mood lately and watching the movies I had not seen yet. Both Broly movies were good, the dub had great licensed songs.
At this point it is silly to turn back. Besides
it has a happy ending

That's what everyone said about the JoJo series, and now we got one.
Course I'm not expecting one to be made 25 years from now, but Kaiji also ended up with a new series some years after the first one ended.
HE HAS A NEW SERIES?!?!?! *Off to google*

Oh sorry meant to put URL tags but put IMG ones out of habit when linking minus lol
As Hito said Chibiusa had a fairly problematic skirt at the start of R that made pantyshots frequent until they changed it later on.
I did! Sorta!
Oh I know I can print screen, it's just really inconvenient to pause the video capture the window move to paste it then cut whatever GUI stuff you took with it. Seeking to a specific frame you want is also a lot harder so I can't really be arsed.
PreCures usually wear shorts or spats of sorts so you don't really get them on PreCure shows. There may be some exceptions though.
Yeah thats pretty much my reaction. I really have to watch that show. Its like one big :cajun fest.
I was joking about Precure. It is pretty much free of such things.

I just thought it was necessary to point that out. PreCures are pure dammit! (for the most part)

Uta no Prince Sama Maji Love 2000% and Arata K ought to be worth checking out.
Space Battleship Yamato 2199 is really quality for the genre, a must watch.

Not the Anime Mirai shorts unfortunately.
Well it's also fortunate since they get more creative freedom too.

I can at least take a little comfort in the fact that it looks as though they put some actual effort into that game.

I really think you're not able to sit back and get a proper perspective on the events of this show.
Besides unification of the superpowers to get to space is a theme that is used countless times in mechas show ( especially in gundam backstories)..heck in many sci fi shows also have those things happening.
The superpowers don't fight for fun , they fight for ressources or against an ennemy.. if you give them an ennemy big enough to turn everyone attention toward it , they will become "earth forces" or "federation forces " or "alliance forces" and go at it together.
In gundam 00 , they reached a point where they each (in turn) tried everything they could alone and failed... expecting them to continue to fight alone is quite unrelistic in this case. This is exactly how alliances were made...this is nothing but a continuation of the BIG joint effort they tried in episode 13 & 14

Then why we got Chihayafuru 2?
I don't think collecting 10 rat's tails to please my waifu makes for a fun game...
Wait...
Someone understands.
Cut the SAO part and I'd be in.
Most Gundam shows aren't set in AD. You can't just set something in our timeline, then do something magnificently unbelievable like the merger of great world powers AFTER the defeat of their enemy. This would be like Russia and America merging after defeating Germany and Japan, or America and Britain merging after defeating the USSR. It doesn't make sense. Since when do the winners merge in history?
I get that the show was going for this, but one of the chief problems of Gundam 00 is that it does a poor job of building to its points. Too much time is spent on Trinities and Crossroads and not enough showing or explaining how powers which have remained distinct for about 500 years by the end of season 1, suddenly dissolve ALL their police and military forces and become one in a UNANIMOUS decision.
What's worse is that the show begins on a realistic note. The idea that the world powers would congregate into alliances around an energy base with fierce contention from the nations alienated by those policies is believable. But the Gundams spend so much time dicking around and the show loses so much focus that when the alliances are supposed to shift to that Union, it isn't believable. All we see as evidence that they're moving in that direction are joint military options, and joint military operations are not cause for me to believe that UN Security Council would suddenly give up all its power for a union of tenuous worth.
Compare this to SEED, where the Earth Forces are a Federation of Alliances which clearly only get along somewhat, or Wing, where the United Earth Sphere is a farce, but one which is built up to over the course of the show by demonstrating the progression from the Earth Alliance, then OZ, then Romefeller.
My point is that a united Earth is too big a pill to swallow without adequate lead in in the context of a show. If it's a starting point, like in MSG, that's one thing. But if it's the end goal of your protagonists IN the show you should maybe spend some time showing that it happens.
But freaking 00 spends its time following the exploits of Saji Crossroads and Trinities and a villain whose entire arc culminates in a literally 30 second fight shoehorned into the end of the last episode of the season, and not enough focusing on its goddamn heroes, villains, and mother loving plot.
Most!
Hence my point, if its same game with another name such like Heavenly Arc (Pun Intended) you guys will join the 10k+ post OT shamelessly

Further proof that games are just as trashy as anime. We should all take pen and paper RPGs instead.

It sounds like Attack on Titan is going to have some amount of original anime content. It's mentioned in a recent blog post for the magazine it runs in, and the editor also mentions that the manga author is somewhat involved with the anime production. Hmmm... I sure hope it's not another Magi.

Well, that's that then. Time to pack it up.
