CG SHIPS, HERE WE GO!

No ;_;

 

[Chet Rippo]

That's not all, they even have this TV.

Hipster alert!

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

Kurita, have you finished Last Friends yet? (+the special?) ;_;

School Days: Final Episode.

So, yeah, that was kinda... interesting? So, Sekai

Spoiler

wasn't really pregnant

?. And what will Kotonoha do when

Spoiler

the severed head starts to decompose

?. What I like about this kind of scenarios is the friends/relatives and police response, a shame we didn't get it there.

Now, Regulus you can tell me why this anime is important.

You will never be the same again.

 

[Kurita]

Kurita, have you finished Last Friends yet? (+the special?) ;_;

Not yet. I have like 2 or 3 episodes (+ the SP) left.

Then why we got Chihayafuru 2?

It's an ad for the manga.

We are not worthy!

Apparently Hanezawa was hinting at a second season.

It's happening... IT'S HAPPENING.

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.

You could have stopped this.

 

[Syrinx]

Well, Princess Tutu should be on its way now. Money's tight, but for $24...yeah, I could do it. It's as cheap a deal as I'll find on an anime I want to watch right now.

Yama no Susume 12 (END)

Season 2 confirmed?!!??

Another refreshing <5 minute show that everyone should watch because you totally have time to do so. Wish the other 2 girls had more screen time, they were just sort of introduced once and only used again in the last episodes. Could have benefited from being a normal length show but what can you do.

 

[Jex]

So, I know that it's pretty old at this point but ANN's interview with Robert Napton regarding the end of Bandai Entertainment is pretty damn good: http://www.animenewsnetwork.co.uk/anncast/2013-02-27

I think the most interesting part of the whole discussion was that Bandai Entertainment was apparently rather well run and actually turning a profit when the Japan side of the business decided to close it down.

Beyond that, there's just a number of things that confirm what we already know and suspect. Japan either treats the USA as a minor concern that they don't really care about OR they expect titles do exactly as well as they did in Japan in the USA despite how different the markets are. This lead/s to a number of titles being rather overpriced.

Go, Hikari!

It could be worse for Hikari. She could end up like this:

They're stealing plot points from Nadia now? Oh, Anima...

Still better than Rebuild.

Kamille had one of the shittiest reasons ever to pilot a Gundam initially.

Well, we're talking about Tomino here. He's not known for his ability to skilfully capture the human spirit.

I had the idea of using that cap too. lol

As what amounts to SatoJun-lite, this was a decent little show. It'd be nice if it was a real series instead of a story with random time jumps built into 5 minute chunks, but what can ya do?

branduilhype has already set in.

branduilhype is the new duckrollhype?

Finally on the other end of a scolding.

 

[Dresden]

branduilhype is the new duckrollhype?

The curse shifted the moment branduil hitched his wagon to the fauxIGtrain.

And I guess duckroll redeemed himself with BoneShida!

Nah it happened with PanzerShida, BoneShida is just the coda.

 

[Syrinx]

Is anyone's hype on here reliable? Or is anime quality just too unpredictable?

 

[Jex]

Tari Tari is the better show, if you haven't seen that yet.

That sounds like something a commie would say.

 

[Dresden]

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.

There's some big differences between JoJo and Kongou Bancho. Bancho doesn't have the generational popularity that the former enjoys, no one remembers it anymore, the series is over, etc.

Okay. Here: https://twitter.com/honnyaku_blog/status/314398632659009536

Never trust the hype machine. Trust the result.

Mangirl! 12

So good even the dead comes back to life to read it.

 

[Jex]

Losing is better because it gives them an objective for next season.

Think of it in Adachi terms. They almost always crap out of the prefectural finals the first year, lose in Koshien the next then win it in the 3rd.

Maybe we could escape some of the sports genre's most stale cliches from time to time?

 

[Jarmel]

It could be worse for Hikari. She could end up like this:

That's hot. You got the deadeyes going on but also the physical corruption like Sakura. I like my women broken.

 

[firehawk12]

Nah it happened with PanzerShida, BoneShida is just the coda.

Dat TankShida.

That sounds like something a commie would say.

Tokyo arc. Never forget.

I found DTL hype to be quite reliable in how pretty the boys are.

 

[Branduil]

Dat TankShida.

(Bondage/paintball otaku/fanservice episodes aside)

Did anyone have a massive problem with the Tokyo arc besides you?

 

[dakkumauji]

Yu-Gi-Oh! ZeXal 44

I always thought these guys were pretty cool from a design aspect. Of course, even if they aren't that good, it doesn't take that much effort to beat the useless protag.

 

[firehawk12]

Did anyone have a massive problem with the Tokyo arc besides you?

Probably not. But for me, it was a massive betrayalthon. Hearing Okada-bot had her hand in it makes sense in retrospect though.

 

[Jex]

The curse shifted the moment branduil hitched his wagon to the fauxIGtrain.

It doesn't seem to matter if it's real IG or fauxIG, the end result is always dissapointment.

Except Azazel-San. That's a property I can believe in.

How is stargazing worth in terms of sakura? We need to official firehawk conversion rates here. This was a neat little series and the last episode was as impressive as the rest shame all we can look forward to in terms of additional content is the BD only episode a shame really.

Maiden Japan continues their efforts to license rescue all things Patlabor.

Maiden Japan today announced its acquisition of the legendary series Mobile Police Patlabor TV. This 47 episode series features direction by Naoyuki Yoshinaga (Maison Ikkoku, Irresponsible Captain Tylor) with character designs by Akemi Takada (Kimagure Orange Road, Urusei Yatsura), mechanical designs by Yoshinori Sayama (RahXephon, Mobile Suit Gundam: Char&#8217;s Counter Attack) and Yutaka Izubuchi (Gasaraki, Toward the Terra) and music by Kenji Kawai (Vampire Princesss Miyu, Sorcerer Hunters).

Maiden Japan will be distributing Mobile Police Patlabor TV in conjunction with home video distributor Section23 on bilingual BD & DVD (starting July 16th) and in digital formats.

Any day now until they save the movies and New Files OVA series as well.

Too bad it's over. This was really nice and enjoyable throughout, and more surprising were the very high production values for a 3min short. Glad the staff took the project seriously, and they should be proud because it turned out really well.

 

[cajunator]

Then why we got Chihayafuru 2?

I'm quite sure giving such a good show a second season was purely accident. nobody in the anime industry has good intentions.

We are not worthy!

Apparently Hanezawa was hinting at a second season.

Oh god. OH GOD.
But why does it look like a funeral parlor
I don't know guys...

Steins-Gate-9

This is perhaps one of the greatest anime series I've seen in a loooooong time. I don't watch much anime, I'm more of a manga person, but, I love this show. Kurisu is tsun-tsun, and Okabe is too awesome. Real time travel now, interesting.

Man. and you haven't even gotten to the real meat of the show yet!

Futari wa Pretty Cure 37

Obligatory school festival episode. Obligatory Romeo & Juliet episode. Can't these kids ever play Othello or Hamlet or something else? Nagisa had to play Romeo, and she was dreadful. Honoka played Juliet, and made the whole episode worth it by wearing thy dress.

Why were Fuji-P and that other dude allowed into their dressing room in the first place? They could have been naked. And Nagisa probably would have died. Then what?

That episode was REALLY weird. the audience actually bought it too! Maybe Nagisa is just status quo at that school.

On the topic of GJBU.

GJBU - 10

All the harem (-1) has a bite out of the protag, best episodes always involve the little sisters.

Soon.

School Days: Final Episode.

So, yeah, that was kinda... interesting? So, Sekai

Now, Regulus you can tell me why this anime is important.

That was....disappointing.
Where's the KABOOM? there was supposed to be an Earth shattering KABOOM!

Well, Princess Tutu should be on its way now. Money's tight, but for $24...yeah, I could do it. It's as cheap a deal as I'll find on an anime I want to watch right now.

Money WELL spent. Just check all the discs for scratches.

Is anyone's hype on here reliable? Or is anime quality just too unpredictable?

We are all reliably unreliable. Except when something is so unreliably unreliable that it is reliable. But that cannot be relied on.

Like I said, it's SatoJun-lite. You need to end with someone crying while smiling to be S-rank!

In the same way that Vividred 10 was the best episode of animu last Thursday for me because of lowered expectations, this episode dropped such a bomb that I thought it was the best thing ever.

I'm sure it will amount to nothing, but jeez. It's something that needs to be said in all (pseudo)-harems. lol

 

[ZachDeKoromaru]

Good Jobbu 11

FUCK

One of the funnier episodes of the show. So absurd, yet so subtle you can't help but laugh. Especially:

[this episode dropped such a bomb

Mori-san, you're so cruel but I love you.

 

[Theonik]

Like I said, it's SatoJun-lite. You need to end with someone crying while smiling to be S-rank!

So stargazing = 5/10 sakuras?

So Japan votes on their favorite Pretty Cure.

1. Cure Passion
2. Cure Black
3. Cure White
4. Cure Happy
5. Cure Peace
6. Cure Heart

Bonus cute pic:

Having watched nothing of Precure outside of the transformations, I can say with confidence and authority that the top choice is correct.

The Kawahara interview continues.

He is man enough to admit there are some plot holes with how the NerveGear kept everyone trapped inside of SAO.
He also mentions that he tried Hardcore Mode in Diablo III and kept getting slaughtered endlessly, from which he concluded he'd never stand a chance if he were to get thrown into SAO itself.

Yes!

Futari wa Pretty Cure 38

What's this...Have the villains really finally caught on to what really should have been pretty obvious from the start?

Ryota's a dork. He did pretty much everything wrong, and would have been royally fucked if Nagisa and Honoka hadn't followed him. How was he not at all suspicious about that announcement that Nagisa made over the PA system? And moreover, how did she get to that thing to begin with?
