Madoka 3

Thoughts during episode

- This kid certainly doesn't look healthy. I predict a wish forming...
- Yup. This is a hospital. She's blushing. I see where this is going.
- Oh..... OOOOOOHHHHHHHHHH. Okay.
- Okay OP. Madoka is in middle school. She's underage, alright! Even by anime standards. So this naked pressing up against herself isn't doing it for me.
- Why you have no chin? Dead eyes. Oh god dead eyes!
- That's.... one way to make a wish. Kind of looks like the cat thing took advantage of her situation at the time.
- Man transfer student. Aren't you being a little melodramatic.
- Grief Seed! Oh noes!!! Blue Hair wants to stay back. I know what happens next...
- Ah what? Not Transfer-chan.
- Lamest wish ever Madoka.
- :SDBurton again?
- Mami talked her out of that wish? Good.
- Super Ultra Mega Magic Mami Transformation Activate!
- That was..... AWESOME! The speech was lame but that gunslinging was amazing.
- Oh good job Mami you totally got------............... OH F**K!!!!! OH F**K!!!!!!!!
- This is....... dark.
- Ahhhhhhhhhhhh crap.
I liked her
.
-
Can you wish people back to life? Otherwise this really sucks
.
- This ED is cool and the song is super cool. I like it.

And now the show really begins..

When I watched Grave of the Fireflies, I thought to myself, "This was supposed to make me sad, but it's just making me angry".

So yeah, the priming effect is a trap.

I feel the same about GOTF. I was like thats it? It just pissed me off.

this is why all the WINK WINK NUDGE NUDGE WAIT FOR EPISODE #X is terrible

fully agree. Im not completely innocent of doing it either. Ill giggle now and then and hint at it.

Look, I'm sure we all knew that there was something ominous about Madoka from the beginning.

What we didn't know was that
a frigging worm clown was going to shoot out of doll to bite a teenage girl's head off. That's when you realize that the show really isn't going to screw around.



...That sounds more like I should be relieved, and that I should prepare for more entertainment in the future.

Definitely. Theres soooooo much. Literally thousands of shows in animes history.

Thoughts during episode:

- Hmmmmmm
- This OP is so moe.
- This is one long pep talk.
- Yeah you should be apologizing to Sayaka. Is this her brother? Really good friend? They haven't been abundantly clear on that.
- I don't know why but I expected him to like die when he was done with the song. Would've been funny after she says she won't regret it. Too bad my dark sense of humor didn't come to fruition.
- What do you mean Yes and No cat? It doesn't work like that. It's either Yes or No.
- These cuts are weird man. Like unneeded animation. It's weird.
- Well. Transfer-chan is forward and quite blunt.
- So the cat is just acting like nothing is going on. Great.
- Just make the wish already Madoka. Geez.
- Super Special Awesome Magic Girl Transformation Go!
- Not Cool. Also a dozen swords isn't as cool as a
hundred guns. I miss Mami. When are they gonna bring her back?
- So the new girls weapon is just a rip off of a weapon in Bleach. Well if you could only copy one weapon I guess that isn't a bad choice.
- This cat is manipulating these situations to get Makoda to make a wish.
- Oh finally! She's about to make a--
- ---Of course
Transfer-chan steps in

Much as I appreciate both perversion and humour, this isn't actually very hawt or funny. Half-length or otherwise, it doesn't really feel worth my time. Dropped.
 
An intensive study needs to take place as to the pattern observed by best girl enthusiasts. I swear that a lot of the time the tomboy or the really playful/flirty one are considered best girl.

DO IT. FOR SCIENCE.

Watch Black Bullet. Pretty sure that's as :cnet as you can get.

Tomboys are great

You're not wrong because Chie and Naoto are best girl.
Maybe those types just have the mostest bestest girlses?
 
Well the show is called Puella Magi Madoka Magica. Her name is the title of a magic girl show. And there's art that clearly shows she becomes one.

Now here we are. Half way through the show and no powers. Lame.

Trust me, her name being on the show makes perfect sense. Just keep going.

Kazusa from White Album 2 is considered best girl and is none of the two listed there.

She exhibits tsundere, kuudere, and basically tries to act like a bro. Not to mention deep voice.

Your inner best girl rating wants her to be a man. DON'T DENY IT.

EVERYBODY IS DTL NOW.

excite!

So I'm curious. Does anybody here consider their favorite comedy tv show to be an anime vs say a western comedy series?

Like personally as much as I've enjoyed comedy manga/anime, I don't think I could say I'd consider one higher in my favorite list than say Arrested Development (what new season?), Archer, Parks and Rec or early Community.

Comedy is not anime's strongest suit. They really dont do it that well overall.

I can live with this depiction.

nah. Its not cute enough for you Corvy kun.

Guys be careful when buying on eBay. Seems like bootleggers stepping up their game and selling Madoka bluray set for $60. It looks like the same as the ones Aniplex put out but when you open them up you can see the difference.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Puella-Magi...?pt=US_DVD_HD_DVD_Blu_ray&hash=item4d1b693705

Yeah bootleggers are getting very sophisticated. Be EXTREMELY careful buying online. I recommend sticking to known retailers like Rightstuf who offer brand new product for very good prices.

As hilarious as this post is, you gotta remember that anime likes to make the more feminine girls highly submissive. Pretty much Belldandy types, and who would want that?

Humor's one of the the things most deeply rooted in culture, and yeah, I don't think any anime's been as reliably funny as some of my favorite western comedy, I actually tend to be deeply weary of anything recommended due to humor. Though I think Urusei Yatsura tapped into some of what made the Simpsons great at least earlier on (everyone DOES have a good side to them even if they're assholes most of the time. Well, some characters are an exception in both.)

Watch Black Bullet. Pretty sure that's as :cnet as you can get.

Your observation rings true. if there is a tomboy, odds are very high that she is the best.

Well the show is called Puella Magi Madoka Magica. Her name is the title of a magic girl show. And there's art that clearly shows she becomes one.

Now here we are. Half way through the show and no powers. Lame.

Just keep watching.
 
They both offer distinctly different things for me. Space Dandy makes me laugh for generally different reasons than Rick and Morty.

Rick and Morty is amazing.

Whenever people type like them online I read it in their voices already.

"Come on Morty y-you h-burp-ave to help me with the experiment. I-i-i-t's very i-burp-mportant that you stick this inside of you.

Oh jeez I don't know Rick this all seems kind of dangerous."

Reading through this, there seems to be reactions of disappointment to Black Bullet's first episode... Say it ain't so!

My fears have been dissuaded a bit because I read it attempts to get serious and dark. But the fact we have a flirting kissing loli and lolis will save the world, and a possible harem introduction, makes me wary.

Someday I'm gonna shoot a movie entirely in tumblr filter.

I'd make an anime that way but Coppelion already came out and it sucked balls.

Oh shiiiiiiiiit.

(After-credits sequence was the best, Imaizumi's growing appreciation for magical girls will never get old)

(The new OP and ED are kind of ehhhh though)

Black Bullet ep 1
The first episode seems decent with some good action. A seductive older lady and a loli little girl voiced by Rina Hidaka?I'm in.

This show will be a good replacement until index season 3 ever gets announced.
 
Madoka 6
Thoughts during episode:

- Everyone is so cold. Homura is blank and Sakura is... well crazy.
- These scenes before the OP are always cinematic. Maybe it's the black bars. Maybe it's better animated. Either way they do look cool.
- OP is still moe.
- Gah! The faces! Why are you here!
- This cat. I don't trust this cat. It is super pushy.
- You may be able to dance cutely Sakura but you are a demon in my eyes. What's with that smile? What's happening? I refuse to acknowledge your cuteness!
- What is up Sayaka? You're acting weird. Give me back the best girl you monsters!
- Another pep talk. Yay!
- This Sakura you all love so much, is a douche.
- Is this in the future? Dat keyboard.
- The heck? Why would you throw that it would only make her---....
- ...Oh S**T. What? Didn't you think they should know that before they make the contract. I knew this cat thing was not to be trusted.
- Alrighty then.
