Now I just need NO GAME NO LIFE for my LN fix this season.

And then M3 picked up and my shows would be covered.

 

[BGBW]

Back home, so I guess I have a week of Puchimas to catch up on.

These openings keep getting worse. At least the second one had a nice concept behind it.

The problem with needing underdogs to win is that the reason for winning often sounds like bullshit. It doesn't help that Hakone (the main antagonists) in this race are so sympathetic and amusing, although that's a point in the show's favor, admittedly.

And Onoda falling behind again is frustrating. Just get it over with already.

So you gonna link or what?

Maybe you'll enjoy one of ANN's reviews for the first episode:

Irregular does most everything right while avoiding all the worst possibilities of its terminally anime-ish set-up. Tatsuya is a “Weed” of course, but he's no harem loser. He's smart, good in a fight, and perceptive enough to defuse most situations before they get out of hand. Miyuki loves her brother waaay too much, but in a way that's cute and funny—and occasionally touching—rather than creepy. The action is expertly assembled and appropriately slick, with Tatsuya and his friends’ magical weakness adding a good measure of risk and an even better measure of root-for-the-underdog satisfaction. Even the inevitable magical mysteries are handled well, hinted at in passing but not over-obfuscated or thrown in our faces. It is, all in all, just an attractive, intelligent, and put-together kind of show.

I wonder what a premium release by Sentai looks like. I hope they would go out and get Depth of Field vids for Chuu 2.

Cute and funny, not creepy.

I dont understand how they go from making a perfect review of mahouka to making downright infuriating reviews of Haikyuu!! Ill just continue my moratorium on reading their anime reviews because that makes no sense.

 

[astrogamer]

One Week Friends 1
Wow, this is a very sweet story of friendship

Spoiler

but I'm going to guess that they never end up more than friends due to her memory loss

 

[dimb]

Technically it's still a 3.5 review. I think the guy gave the same score to both of those shows.

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

Why can you review shows before they're over on ANN

 

[madp]

I thought I was used to MAL weabism, but seeing Heppoko Jikken Animation Excel Saga made me twitch in frustration.

That one is the worst by far.

Looking at my list, apparently the Happy Science movies were all hit with the weeb stick recently too:

MAL sucks.

 

[Hitokage]

So you can be a terrible person like Zac.

So I guess Mahouka really is Oreimo, 100 years in the future and with magic, except this time Ayase is the sister and Kirino is nowhere to be found.

So, Chunibyo Demo Koi ga Shitai! season 1 is getting a dub after all, with a premium release later this year.

And according to Sentai, it's because fans were pissed--I mean clamored for a dub.

Normally I dont mind dubs, but I mean...WHY? You have Rikka being positively adorable with her little Au~s and Dekomori with her "death~ and Touka being a goddess.
A fantastic japanese cast!

Looks fairly interesting.

See Dusk Maiden of amnesia for a bluray premium, and Croisee for a DVD one.
Both have soundtracks included.

Well then, sounds infinity times better already.

What right does the author have to put incest in his story if he's never fucked his own sister? ANN DOUBLE STANDARDS.

No Kirino? Plus it has cool magic/technology. So it's already better. ;P

So does this mean that it's gonna ultimately turn out terrible?

EDIT: Oh wait, no Kirino. I withdraw my previous statement.

 

[Mr.Jeff]

Why can you review shows before they're over on ANN

The same way people can give 10/10 ratings to an entire manga series based solely on the first chapter.

 

[Gbraga]

I shouldn't be reading this at work, but I can't stop.

I mean, she TASTED it.

So, a much better world

 

[Jex]

Man you should see Mahouka on MAL, such a controversy.But oh well its just making it even more popular.

So I checked out the forums and basically there's a user who registered for the sole purpose of defending Mahouka and they already have 111 posts on that subject.

Fascinating...

 

[JoeFu]

The Space Brothers movie won't be a sequel or anything, just a spin-off.
You can read the manga now.

oh cool, didn't know. Young Hibito and Mutta are pretty awesome. Maybe I'll pick up the manga if I'm really wanting to see what happens. Might just wait for more.

The film is a prequel movie based on young Hibito/Mutta. The anime seems likely to continue at some point, but they've gotten pretty close to catching up to the manga so it will probably on hiatus for a bit.

Cool, wouldn't mind waiting for more of the show. Really enjoyed it.

I just realized something crucial for Zach about the Space Brothers movie.

More screentime for young Mutta means more Miyuki Sawashiro.

 

[BGBW]

I saw the latest issue of the Space Brothers manga and a quick flick through it reveal that

Spoiler

everyone's favourite grumpy big eared ape guy will be making a return

So the SAO comparisons were spot-on!

Kyousuke's family tree must rival Sawagoe Tomaru's by this point.

 

[lonely]

Awwww yiss Crunchyroll got Mangaka san. A guilty pleasure manga of mine, hopefully it's at least a half decent adaption.

 

[nintendoman58]

G Gundam - 4

In which the Eiffel Tower looked like someone put a giant magnet next to it.

So today Domon fights the faulously French George de Sand. I liked the way the fight was resolved in this episode.

That guy that was briefly shown in the casket this episode (who's also in the opening) looks horrifyingly similar to...someone. I can't put my finger on it though.

All right, now I gotta continue Angel Beats since PshychoNinja is watching Madoka.

Every time Miyukichi's goddessness is wasted on voicing a shota I die a bit inside!

A double simulcast announcement from Funimation now, as Akuma no Riddle and Soul Eater Not join their collection. Soul Eater Not will be on Tuesdays at 1:40pm PDT, while the schedule for Akuma no Riddle isn't finalized yet, but they'll at least have episode 1 up tomorrow.

Not! was pretty much a Yes!, so glad to have that there. And for someone to pick up Akuma no Riddle. Now the only show that's both started and doesn't have a simulcast is Gaworare. Maybe CR's taking a bit of time to acquire that one.

 

[cajunator]

Have you ever done a good deed only to get karma fucked shortly after? This must be some cosmic joke. I can only laugh.

Artificial insemination.

 

[cajunator]

Artificial insemination.

Your british humor is showing

 

[firehawk12]

Just like how there are no anime fansubs anymore.

I'll admit I'm not really getting the specialness of the announcement. CR already carried lots of drama stuff. This just seems like a bunch more shows.

That said, with there no Biblia anime I might try the drama. Not something I expected to utter.

Well, the drama scene is much less organized than the anime scene, so I don't know what will happen. But it's a bit of a "legit shook" to borrow a WWE meme anyway.

 

[Chariot]

It's ok, QT. We find your mom and dad.
