Long awaited 5th volume for Banner of the Stars has been finally released (http://www.gainax.co.jp/company/news/0418.html), of course by Mr. Morioka & Mr. Ono with the requited illustration cover by GAiNAXer Takami Akai (that, as habitual, lamented not being quickly up-to-the-task; http://gainax.weblogs.jp/ninelives/2013/03/星界イラスト全部完成.html).


I see. At first I thought some attendees from previous years could be coming to both events, but yeah, as you say seems like the controversy and later scission were an opportunity some big companies didn't miss.

Damn, I just heard about this just now. Must hear spoilers asap. I want to know what happens to Lafiel!

Here's hoping that after Jinto's death while chasing his cat out of an airlock without a suit, poor cat, that she starts a threesome between herself, the Queen and Spoor, in an effort to fill the void left from Jinto's tragically stupid death, but shortly after starting the Queen and Spoor forget she's in the room and just focus on each other and Lafiel feeling neglected tries to hang herself with a bedsheet, fails, falls out the window and is eaten to death by whatever crazy alien bugs are on the Abh planet.

This was pretty good. That ending though...
Poor schoolgirl. Guy didn't even give a damn after she saved his ass repeatedly. What a terrible way to go.
ending wasn't that bad though did feel a bit abrupt however. I suppose it's natural for this sort of 1 off anime.

Pretty decent production values too.

mAcOdIn said:
I'm sure they just didn't try with Banner 3 because Spoor was only in it for one second and even then it wasn't Spoor herself but Jinto thinking of different Abh's he's met, that of course included Spoor. Therefore, both the quality of a given Banner season/volume and by extension the amount of effort put into an anime adaption of a season/volume is directly proportionate to the amount of Spoor contained within.

As it should be.

True! Hopefully a hypothetical 4th banner anime will have plenty of Spoor!

I think we all expected this to be what it was. Not surprised. Also strangely not disappointed. It would have been a really short project. More importantly, it could still end up being an anime later. I want to see more Shaft anime though. Bring on the next project!

Suite Precure 1-2

Finally popped my Precure cherry. You guys told me ages ago to begin with Heartcatch or Smile, but actually I prefer starting with the weaker series and working my way up, and I gather Suite isn't too highly thought of.

Anyway, I enjoyed these first two episodes a lot. The setup and execution remind me of when I used to watch Cardcaptors (CCS), Power Rangers etc when I was younger. It's been a while since I've watched anything quite so wonderfully formulaic, childish, saccharine and silly. I'll probably get through it fairly slowly, since marathoning it would doubtlessly cause it to become gratingly repetitive.

Oh, and although I have nothing against the main duo, I'd like to see some more Precures join the fray sooner rather than later.
Click to expand...

You chose a rather interesting Precure to venture into the franchise with but much less people have watched that one. It will be interesting reading impressions of Precure different from what has been discussed lately.

I shouldn't be surprised that the pony thread already found this video eight hours ago, but anyway, an offscreen video from TAF of the MLP Japanese dub featuring Suzuko Mimori as Pinkie Pie, talking a mile a minute in full Sherlock Shellingford mode, complete with dame dame.

This is interesting. Should be fun to watch how this develops.

I just saw the screencaps of the baby in the newest episode of Dokidoki! Precure. If there was ever a moment to bail out it is now.

Please tell me how awful it is so that I can finally drop this show forever.

Babby does look silly. The Precure mascots are all pretty similar though.

Let's see...some time within the coming days I'll finish up Futari wa Pretty Cure. So that'll leave me only actively watching Princess Tutu. And that'll be for weekends. I should get back on Spice and Wolf, but other than that, I'll have a lot of spots for new shows opening up. Maybe Heartcatch is in order.

This award...makes no sense. What stops it from going to a 20-year old manga? It's like if the Oscars gave an award to Tolkien. I'm not even going to mention the biggest problem with this quote either.

For what it's worth, in the manga, those are murders
and Tsukino isn't the actual culprit.

Is that so? I wonder what drove that decision? Did they think it was too dark or did they just like that character idea?

Same here. Only things I'll be watching after this coming week will be Hidamari Sketch and Straight Title Robot Anime. At the very least I need to find a replacement for Joshiraku. Might be time to try out some more random shows I've never heard of.

I know we already discussed the special "godly episodes theater" stage that's going to be at ACE next weekend, but I noticed something interesting from this new article about it (which, btw, has light spoilers for some of the chosen episodes); namely, how apparently only some of the episodes were chosen by sponsor Newtype, while others were fan-voted and two were special picks from seiyuu Ayane Sakura and Saori Hayami. I thought it might be interesting to see which came from where:
Chosen by Newtype:
------------------------
Haruhi ep 12
Toradora ep 16
Steins;Gate ep 23
GITS:SAC ep 26
Naruto ep 133
Railgun ep 24
Gintama ep 150
Tatami Galaxy ep 11

Chosen by fans
------------------
Strike Witches S2 ep 6
Idolmaster ep 20
Angel Beats ep 10
Fate/Zero ep 23
Uta no Prince-Sama ep 13
Anohana ep 11
Madoka ep 10
Code Geass R2 ep 25
Bakemonogatari ep 12
K-On!! ep 24
s-CRY-ed ep 26
Gurren Lagann ep 8
Clannad After Story ep 18

Saori Hayami's choice:
Fruits Basket ep 1

Ayane Sakura's choice:
Azazel-san ep 9

And of course there's still that one mystery episode to be revealed as well.

Ishida and Asakura 12 END

ishidaasakura12.jpg


:roymustang

This is pretty hit and miss for the most part but as it's only 2 minutes an episode (1:30 if you skip the op) it's worth checking out to see if its up your alley. Keep in mind it is pretty lewd but that's really what makes it kinda interesting.

Toriko 25 - 38 (FuniDub, DVD)

Still has many good choices for vas, liked Bogie's voice, as well as Yosaku and the dude that manned the miniature robot (they didnt introduce or name him I think?). The dub has some interesting dialogue choices that arent in their subs (odd that whats spoken isnt what the subtitles say, is this always the case? I never really turn subs on when I watch on tv).

"Moldy Farfel!"
"What the fudge, Toriko!!!"
"Sweet cheesy rice! What's with your arm!!!"
"What in the Peking Duck!
"What in the moldy garlic!"

Saburina is still the best ED theme.

And now this list makes much more sense, particularly as to why Fruits Basket is on it. Saori Hayami would have been ten when Furuba first aired ohmygodIfeelold.

Thanks for the update!

Regardless of the fact that I already watched almost 60 episodes, this was at least an amusing introduction to all of the Puchimas.

I gotta say even though I was coming into the episode not really caring about the plot, the show did a good job in showing that I should care.

I do wonder if the show is going to actually tie up all the loose ends now especially since the preview looked like it was doing nothing but adding more plot lines.

The manga is still on going and I dont think a few of the stuff presented much earlier is concluded yet there, maybe.

Though the screen looks so good, waiting for thursday for crunchyroll cant wait!
