"Please God, let us die."
Probably the majority of them like the show.
AWWWWW YEAH! SAVE US GONZO!
This is the greatest thing Ive ever seen.
Well I know certainly wouldn't enrol in an 18 week class devoted to a work I dislike.

I have now met the best character in Tatami Galaxy.
Because he's inside of all of us. Godspeed Johnny. Godspeed.

I was wondering about the art. How it looked given NCSoft games look gorgeous typically.

What shows would that be my fine sir.
Akuma no Riddle 1
Okay, I really like this. The concept is right up my alley. I love these kind of stories where they just gather a bunch of interesting characters and pit them against each other in a twisted "game". And for bonus points, in this one pretty much all the characters seem to be basically batshit psycho. Well, they are all assassins after all. And all female, which helps. It's basically yanderes as far as the eye can see, except without the dere.
Oh, but then there's the MC's roommate, who it seems obvious to both the viewer and the characters must be the "target" everyone is supposed to be assassinating. I have to wonder if something so obvious can actually be the truth, though if this is going the way I think it's going, her status as target seems pretty crucial to the whole idea of the story, so maybe it really is that simple. Target or not, though, she's definitely got dark issues beneath the surface.
At any rate, the dynamic between the MC and this roommate makes me feel like I'm watching one of those Precure heel-face-turn storylines from the perspective of the redeemable villain. The MC is an emotionless (if crazy badass) empty shell who shows no emotion and seems like she's just here to carry out her mission of murder as efficiently as possible. Her roommate, meanwhile, is (at least outwardly) the sweetest girl you could possibly meet, and already seems to be melting the MC's stony heart with her innocence and goodheartedness. It seems inevitable that the MC will turn against the whole concept of the game and wind up protecting this girl from all the other assassins trying to kill her. With all the delicious yuri implications that entails.
So yeah, so far this feels kind of like Crime Edge meets Danganronpa. You're not going to see me complaining about that combination. My only real worry is that, like Crime Edge, this is based on an ongoing manga - in this case, one with only two volumes released so far - and so it seems unlikely that we'll get anything even resembling actual plot resolution by the end of the series. And that makes me sad.
Oh, and the show contains Sugita as a psychotic teacher. I love deranged Sugita characters <3

This was my exact same feeling after finishing the show. Sometimes anime shows have a way of letting me down right at the very end. This was one of those times.
FMP The Second Raid 02
It's Corvo's favorite thing, creepy incestuous twin yuri! I hope these two get more screentime than those catgirls from Escaflowne he's always going on about.
These transitions between wacky school hijinks and serious military conspiracies are a tad jarring.
Who's this douche bag?
That's some pretty sweet martial arts sakuga, even if it only lasted a couple seconds.
If this post is lacking in commentary about Gates, it is only because he leaves me at a loss for words.

Oh wow, I didn't know the creator of this was Miyahara Ruri (who also did the Love Lab manga).
Should be fun.

Z/X IGNITION Episode 12 [END]
EX:FUTURIZE fuller version sounded perfectly used in this. Great way to hype up the action scene and make it feel thrilling.
A part of me wishes the anime did have a continuation as the brother whoever weve always seen looked pretty epic and
. Anime was excellent at teaching us about proper resource management skills as well as providing a really fun and hilarious time with the card aspects. Audium plot did last a bit longer than it needed too. I enjoyed it. 6/10.

Well aside from the room mate I was OK with the handful of chapters I read.
When you put it that way.

Nagi no Asukara (Nagi-Asu: A Lull in the Sea) Episode 26
Lull was perfectly used here, I just cant tire of hearing Ray's songs and it was so beautifully used and represented a nice change from how the anime started to their progress now.
I will definitely purchase when NISA releases it, I cant imagine how it looks in non sd cr resolution. Ebb and Flow and Lull will always be replayed. 9/10.

such a happy sounding rendition of the song to go with how everyone is back, the sea is nice and colorful, more life with people in the water, unison between earth and sea, happy smiling swimming Akira, laughing Tsumugu being incredible, and everyone all friendly. Our 25 weeks of watching paid out a huge dividend here surprisingly me even. Only fault is a few of the romance fates, like Miuna being a hanging part of it, and Manaka still there.

Jidaigeki Spider-man? Never seen that one before.
Most of Gates's antics are a bit too off-putting to be genuinely funny, but I laughed when the shell casings fell on him.
Although I appreciate this show's lack of clunky exposition, sometimes I wish they'd devote a bit more time to world-building. Apparently there's a long-running civil war in China that hasn't come up until now?
Oh hi Otacon.
The way these robots behave is just a little too...human. I mean, a stab to the neck disables one without any sparks or explosions or anything?
Nice tension-building this episode. Even the characters were waiting for the other shoe to drop!

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhh
what the fuck is happening
Man, grandpa is awesome, but now he's a weasel. You can tell he's a mad scientist because he doesn't seem to regard this as a problem
Wow, they actually bothered to evacuate the civilian population before they authorised explosives usage. What is this? How could a show where the opening shot is of a young girl's arse be this decent?

Vroom vroom!
FMP takes place in an alt. history in which the Cold War didn't end, basically, and the US and USSR split China between themselves as it drug on. The robot got disabled because Arm Slaves have this weird muscle-package system thing where if you cut certain muscles or if the packages get too old then the mech can't move. But basically its the same logic behind only mounting the one main camera in a Gundam's head.

So how many of you watched Bobobobo in Toonami when you were younger and thought it was hilarious?
I read the manga when I was younger and thought it was hilarious, does that count?
So when does the Spring 2014 thread get made? I always rely on the excellent summaries in the OT to determine what I want to watch.
If Mandoric puts as much effort into this thread as he did into the last one he made, it might take a little time.

No that doesn't count, why would you think it does. Get out of here and never come back
I would have actually tried for the wall of shame in this thread if I'd realized a place in another snazzy Monogatari banner was at stake.
But will it be any good?
Don't be so tsun tsun, Woofington-chan.

I had three big ??? over my head while my brother laughed his ass off right next to me every time we watched that show.
So I'm watching Tropa de Elite 2 (Elite Squad 2) for a class, and while I don't wish for this comment to really be taken as anything extreme, it's sort of dawned on me that the general shape of Honnouji City and specifically the area where Mako's family lived was fairly reminiscent of favelas. Which I felt was a fairly nifty thing.

I have to post these since my friend just linked me to them and they're too relevant.
