Hahahaha. I wasn't comparing the actual designs, per say. I was mainly comparing the experience people had with them at first glance to mine. I just needed to get used to it, which I did.

I didn't expect ponpo to bring on such feels but what a great series.

Hot diggity that's true love right he'a
World Conquest Zvesda 12: End
I loved the scene where everybody is attacking all badass like and Dva runs around screaming like a little bitch hitting people with a fly swatter. What a man I'd follow him to hell and back I would.
Also
the fact Goro and his sister-in-law are now in love and get married and act all lovey dovey is a bit messed up considering how she was a high schooler when he was married to his sister. Also Shikabane now has her aunt has her step mom... weird family all around
We also found out
blonde ojou-sama is in love with eyebrows girl. Good thing eyebrows girl still loves our her Asuta
If there really is a next season, I'm looking forward to it since it'd take place
in America. I can't help but laugh at the thought of engrish villains who play baseball and basketball
Zvezda had issues. My main issue is Asuta's worth as a protagonist. I didn't care for it. It worked at first but in a world full of badass fighters you don't make Waver-kun the protagonist.
World Conquest Zvezda gets a 7.5/10

Pupipo 15
What a bittersweet ending.
What a great series. Pupipo gets an 8/10
What a bittersweet ending.
So Po-chan was their unborn child who came back to his mama in this form to help her stop the suffering. Now they live in a world where they don't have that spiritual energy, so they can get together fall in love and have Po-chan as their actual child.
What a great series. Pupipo gets an 8/10
What does it say about Yami's message when the only two successful relationships in the entire series are heterosexual?
No wonder SDBurton hated it!

I saw these last night, they're pretty great and occasionally lewd. I forgot about all the good butts Yuyushiki had.

Oh yeah, it's my favourite movie based on how it reinvents the possibility of film and representing images on a flat screen more than anything else. I really think it will be the pinnacle of film making in my lifetime. Other people might improve on the "formula", but the only possible thing that they could do to improve it would be to have completely digital actors that looked and acted lifelike. But at that point, I'm sure we'll be in holodecks or the Matrix, so it won't even matter.
I really want to see how they do the inevitable joint Russian-US mission to the moon so that the two brothers can go up together. Maybe in a couple of years...
It's funny, because while Aria is my favourite anime but I don't know who I would recommend it to nowadays. There really isn't much of a comparable, because it does something that is so uniquely special that it carves its own niche.
Certainly it's the one that stands out in that list, for example. lol

Samurai Flamenco - 19
This show is going off the deep end. What the hell?

It's the one show in that pretty big realm of "slice of life" that I'd recommend to almost anyone. While Hidamari Sketch is my favorite anime, the chance that someone is one of those "HIGH SCHOOL SETTING GIRLS, UGH" people is pretty high, at least (especially?) for someone who doesn't frequent the thread. Like you said, it does something so different from whatever else in that genre that it's at least worth a try for anyone not used to such things.
Concerns about its viability on the small screen aside, it has downright some of the best camerawork I've ever seen in a film, period. Maybe even the best, I can't say for sure. It's probably the first time that portrayal of a true 3D space has felt so convincing to me.
Additionally the entire thing is basically a primer on how to properly use sound to enhance your story, something that's still lacking in all audiovisual mediums.

There's no way Zvezda isn't getting a second season. They wouldn't have gotten so specific with
if it wasn't. They've very obviously
, and they probably wouldn't have wasted their time doing so if it wasn't going to happen.
Now someone go ahead and point out several instances where something like this happened and the show still didn't get a second season. :lol
the teasing of new villains, including one who seems like Kate's antithesis, complete with different-looking Galaktika
already designed characters for the second season

Are those all from screencaps of the show?

I'd laugh and say Incredibles.
But then again that recently got a sequel announced.
Man i wanna watch that movie again.
EDIT: in other news I'mma go have lunch, watch some South Park, then watch the Steins;Gate movie.

Yep! Same as that one time Kill Me Baby celebrated (lol) 400~ copies of the BD and did that many twitter icons.

I still think P&S would have gotten a sequel eventually if Gainax hadn't completely fallen apart.
That's why BGBW went to Japan. Cheaper to just pick them up himself than having 400 BDs shipped
On the Japanese broadcast, they announced that the final volume of the DVD/BDs will have an OVA episode 13 - "New Zvezda Major Operation". So don't be too happy yet.
I really hope it's a thing. When anime goes to america we always get freaking sweet engrish. Engrish is one of my favorite things about anime.

Hey, whatever. As long as the story ends in a satisfying way, I don't care if it's an OVA or a second season. I just hate open endings that never get resolved.
Knowing the show though, I don't think resolving stuff is really high on the list of the writers. It's just as likely that they'll do something stupid in the OVAs, and then leave it open for more stuff if anyone wants to pay for it in future. It's a pretty silly show that doesn't really seem to take much of anything seriously at all.
Maybe you should look at the sales numbers.

That's true. It's why even though I like Tamayura, somehow Aria ends up being the more accessible show because of its setting and its characters.
I think it's probably because it's such an interesting mashup of genres that it becomes something that is almost undefinable. Science fiction? Slice of Life? Magic Realism? Mono no aware? All of the above!
This is why I also consider it the greatest animated film ever made. It is an animator's camera but applied to a setting that looks convincingly real. It's why one reviewer said he hated it, because it broke his expectations of cinematography, but that's why I find the film to be a magical experience that redefines the possibility of films.
It also helps that cost is not an issue. On the special features, it is revealed that the idea to have the camera be upside down in the opening shot and then slowly rotate until we get the "right side up" shot was a last minute change made right before the movie was going to be locked. Cauron and his editor basically flipped their monitor around and he realized that he wanted the movie to open with the upside down shot. Making that one change forced them to delay the movie by at least 3 months because that's how long it took to re-render that sequence. And if you watch the film, that sequence is maybe only 2-3 minutes of the entire opening long take.
I feel like that one change that Cauron made could have probably funded an entire season of an anime. lol
So how long until everyone here switches to one just for shiggles?

You haven't watched Clannad and Clannad After Story?! Corvo dude..
Mormon to Mormon. FF fan to FF fan. Anime watcher to anime watcher.... You need to watch it. Clannad has a huge hump in the beginning (I personally liked the beginning but recognize it can drag on) but once you get to the end of Clannad and watch After Story you'll be happy you did.
Just watch these two seasons and you never have to take another recommendation from me if you don't want to.
I want Yuyushiki S2, not Yuyushiki icons! T_T

It was meant to. ;P
Was more taken aback by Firehawks comment to be honest.
But it was more to highlight how much Corvo and I have in common so I would think he may like the show. Was trying to exemplify that with three "blank to blank" comparisons.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but doesn't KEY have like, those really ugly faces going on? I hate myself for judging a show on its looks, but I'm gonna need to see a shot. Cuz if the faces are like what I'm expecting, I dunno if I can do it.
Y'all just jelly that you can't ever live the harem dream.
I'll be lucky to get one woman, plz.

I didn't expect them to make Zakuro so fabulous in the anime.
The Battle Chateau was pretty cool. I'm glad it's not as such a big thing in the game otherwise grinding there would have been pretty annoying. The fight between Viola and Zakuro was pretty awesome too.

This was a show where at first I didn't want to watch it because of the art style and moe-ness. But once I actually watched it I loved the art style. It gets even better in After Story.

Hey, I thought the first Clannad was okay.
The After Story is beautiful. It sits on the throne over all high-school romance anime in my book for a reason.
I didn't like the first Clannad at all, but After Story is really good definitely. It's just kind of a shame it's such a slog to get to the best bits.
That being said, I don't know if it's really Corvo's kind of thing?

Pft. If only. I think I would make a pretty good one too huh?
And only way I know how. ;P
There's been times where people didn't recommend me some shows because they thought I wouldn't like it. When they came around and actually showed me some I loved them. Examples being Kenichi, Gai-Rai Zero etc etc.
Id like to give him a chance to try something he may end up enjoying a lot.
