I'd want to know how they use 9/11 in an anime.
I still think the show sounds interesting given the idol craze at the moment, but I also have no real desire to watch it. Anime is saved?
Sounds like what I was hoping! Looking forward to it.

Kimi ni Todoke has cute faces and reaction shots. Off the top of my head in no particular order:
Kaichou Wa Maid Sama
Kare Kano*
Lovely Complex*
Tonari no Kaibutsu Kun
Sukitte Ii Na Yo
Aishiteruze Baby* **
Nodame Cantabile*
Toradora*
Toshokan Sensou+ movie*
Kokoro Connect* ***
Nazo No Kanojo X*
Acchi Kochi*
Dusk Maiden of Amnesia*
Karin (manga)*
* Highly recommended
** While romance is not main focus at first, it becomes very big later on and it ended up becoming one of the better romances I've seen in a story.
*** Kokoro Connect has a lot of drama but best girl wins, so it's forgivable.
Thank you!
Watch season one. Season two never happened.
It probably does but the list is pretty full already. Maybe an optional addendum.
No-Rin - 12
What's up with this week and Sailor Moon parodies?
In the end No-rin was pretty good. I wouldn't mind a second season if Kousaka hadn't jinxed it.
Thats a really well done parody. any larger version of that?

Tina was crazy but not a bad person. But she never had a shot at Kaoru.

All i thought when playing paper trail is how i could be like yomiko readman and that i can't help but expect paper dlc powers at some point ...So in Infamous Second Son there's a semi-DLC side mission called Paper Trails. In this you combine your computer skills and the game to solve a mystery. So far they've only released I believe 1 or 2 of the parts. But that's not why I mention it.
In this side mission, the main character involved is a japanese school girl, in a japanese school girl outfit, with a bunny mask made out of paper who travels around by transforming into origami doves and wants you to follow her. To notice her.
All she wants is for Delsin-senpai to notice her.
But Delsin-senpai is too busy to notice her.
Well i'm saying that splash star is one of the best season precure had.The drama was not overdone and the ending quite satisfactory.
Also the last spur of episodes were masterfully animated.

Oh man I'd kill for paper DLC powers. But if there are six parts and it'll take 2 weeks, it'll be 2 months until then.
a Read Or Die game should have been made.
Would have been so epic. Why in the hell has that not gotten a revival? It was one of the best things ever.
On an unrelated note, I took a picture of my rooms new Moe defense force

Heh. I still think self-aware metatextual commentators are bullshit though.
I suppose if you were going to sum up the show in a final scene, there isn't a better way to do it.
I don't really have much to say. Almost like Space Brothers, it feels like they just needed to end the show at some place and chose a decent stopping point for the story to end by returning to his family. And, for the most part, I find the show interesting to watch when it's about him struggling with finding his place in the world. I think I'm just at a point where I'd be more interested in a different perspective, since this type of protagonist inevitably has the same arc. It's just compounded by the fact that he's essentially not willing or able to communicate with anyone in his life in order to solve his problems, even when he's told to do so by all the various people in his life. Heck, even his brother comes off as a more interesting character because he's a man who was able to just decide and make his own way in the world, as strange as it might be.
It feels strange to be positive yet ambivalent about a lot of shows this season. It'd really be weird if a straight up comedy ended up being my favourite show of the season anyway.

Because Hideyuki Kurata was too busy writing Samurai Flamenco. But now...
Ohh. He wrote that? Nice.
but maybe revival isnt the right word. Just a rerelease would be awesome. People dont even remember ROD and it saddens me.
Ryuko x Mako OTP! Deal with it.
Ryuko x Mako got more consummation than SAMFLAM
Masayoshi x Gotoh
The real surprise is that both shows did not end with
a character hooking up with an inanimate object. Just SamFlam.
Macross 7
Max and Milia hate each other.
The villains in this show are basically Macross II's villain levels of incomprehensible nonsense bullshit.
Can only watch Basara fuck up a battle and pitch a fit after nobody listens to his dumb song about dancing planets so many times.
So when does Macross get good again?

There was a pretty good arcade action game, fan made but still very fun and impressive.
Ele paper action
i spent 2 weeks playing the hell of this.
Ps: the real game is faster than in the video.
Pfffft! At least there's always Ryuko x Satsuki to fall back on. Though in a perfect world it would be Mako x Ryuko and Satsuki x Nonon.

Yeah, there's always been weird episode counts, I've just been noticing tons of them on CR, as I'm actually watching more stuff now xD
Thanks buddy <3
Pretty dang impressive for a fan game. Looks a bit like Code of Princess.
1. No, Burton, I don't like Lesbincest, thank you very much.
2. Nonon has Cindy's voice from Arjuna. Even if she's a band geek I can never love her knowing that, nor wish her any sort of happiness.
Now if you'll excuse me, I will return to crying that Ryuuko x Senketsu sunk.
1.) Ryuko and Satsuki have that chemistry though! Come on!
2.) How dare you!
Lolololol RIP Senketsu
Look man. I saw Yami. Sister on sister action is not a thing I want to see.
She talks and all I hear is "why does it feel so good?"
RIP IN PIECES SENKETSU. IF YOU'D BEEN MADE OF GUNDANIUM THIS WOULDA NEVER HAPPED

Amazing finale to an amazing season. We saw how far Hachiken has grown through 2 season and we still see that he has a ways to go but the ride will be worth it. Hope we get a season 3 next year.
Sam Flam Thank You Ma'am 22

. Actually a strangely fitting finale to a series as crazy as this. Managed to bring things back around full circle and Haiji was actually a great final villain for Masayoshi.
This was definitely one of the strongest season noitaminA has had in a while.

Tears to Tiara 24-26 + Final Thoughts
These completionist tendencies can overtake my backlog at times, but I find that there's always more out there that I didn't know of. T3 was overall above average, solid, with nothing out of place. It's not going to be standout, but as far as takes on the legends of King Arthur go, this one was entertaining. The choice of protagonist was actually one of the more interesting twists. Riannon spent the entire series worshipping the Morning Star, Lucifer, Arawann, and, in Christian texts, Satan. This was a series about Satan falling from heaven, and that being a good thing for the world.
That's not something that I haven't seen very often in Western literature (though a few examples come to mind), and that concept rises it up a few notches for me. I stand by my statement of Morgan and Octavia being the best. Sisters for life, and enough to tick my yuri goggles, though not very much. Arthur did come across as a little too headstrong at the start, but the story was about his maturation to earn the title of King, so I can accept it. It felt like Llyr never did a whole lot during the story, but the rest of the cast all felt used, even if there were some odd twists like
Nothing that destroys the core of the series, it was hardly bad.
Solid, enjoyable, and it has some concepts behind it that I can say "That was a neat idea." Which I say about most anime, but that's why I'm posting in this thread in the first place.
The backlog continues.

We need a 'shows CR doesn't pickup' bingo game.
Oh god, so like, as I think I mentioned earlier today, thanks to my massive animewatching fail yesterday I have eight season finales to watch this evening (yep, count 'em, eight, though admittedly one of them is Pupa so really that's more like 7.1). And so I was all like "imma start watching at 8PM to make sure I have plenty of time to get through them all and maybe even watch some Mushishi too".
Fast forward through a whole lot of distractions to now (thanks again, Project Diva F 2nd), and it's past midnight and I still haven't started watching yet. Why do I do this to myself.
Ah well, better late than never. *gets watching SamFlam*
lol, you didn't feel the need to include a caveat about Nazo no Kanojo X's, er, trademark fetish? =p
Not that I can argue with trying to get people to watch that series instead of scaring them off.

I wonder. Trying to work out where to start reading the manga I found that the anime finale is in chapter 75, and according to baka-updates the last chapter (translated at least) is 96. So it might be a while before there is enough material for more show.

This anime was pretty great, the thing that I liked was the way it conveyed that you can't trust nobody even if they look innocent. The concept of people stranded in the middle of nowhere playing a game with bombs that are deadly makes the story intense and it did have few good character development in it. Ryouta and Himiko the main characters were great with Himiko's character developing and especially Ryouta who was actually a great MC who wasn't shitty unlike a few I can name (Kirito SAO). The romance was also good as it wasn't forced with Ryouta and Himiko and I also have to shout for Ryouta again as this dude is really great especially at the end when very few men can resist that kind of temptation, he has a strong will. The only problem I had was the cliffhanger at the end especially when it was leaving off some loose ends, I hope for a second season and know it won't suck like SAO but it'll probably won't happen which kills me damn it.

I forgot to mention it in the asterisks. Either ways, besides that weird/kinda gross fetish, it's a sweet story.
Eeeeeeeeeeeeeee! *hugglesqueaks

Hyouka..uhm..Neptunia...Unbreakable machine dolls..
I meant of the new season.
Though I guess there are some obvious titles Funimation will probably pick up.

They finally dubbed two more cfvanguard episodes!
Future Card Buddyfight! Episode 13: Powers Unite! Dragonic Punisher! (engDub)
Aibo cup is going good in terms of duel results I love this Tatsuyo fight
The other world stuff was interesting. Hope they kind of dont go too far into it, though it is good to keep giving Tasuku the tragic backstory for a card game.
Tatsuyo's lines, best: boom chicka wow wow yo yo, asmodai is legit youll see its true, one sec hes there, hey whats he up too

sure he lost as he was my second favorite pick to win it, but at least theres Noboru next episode. No way he will lose

I think my biggest complaint about the KLK finale is despite all the insert songs, Sanbika did not play once.
Word. The guitar riff that kicks that song off is more hot-blooded than any other track in the show.

Morgan + octavia is the best combo indeed , they aren't best characters but they are the best when together.
Anime wasn't a bad adaptation, in fact they did a pretty good job with it. the ps3 game is the best version of the game no doubt.
Yeah I was kinda cheating lol

This is definitely one of the few songs I really liked from the soundtrack.
First OVA takes place between this arc and the next if you're curious. It's friggin' awesome but not so sure it'd fit well in a fresh tv viewing.
Yeah for now I'm just gonna watch the series and then I'll think about going back to see the OVAs.
I stopped watch Samumenco long ago, but I'm so glad I kept reading people comments around the internet.
Wasn't this the anime with the girl who bounced grenades with her tits?
