I swear if I'm not #1 in Wall of Shame, I'll watch Boku No Pico. So please stop posting and let me get those points up yo.
Stop saying ominous things, Dresden. 
Well, you're over 100 posts behind cajunator, so enjoy...whatever that is.

Did I say Boku No Pico I meant Alvin and the Chipmunks.

I don't mind having the combo pack, but the considering the first season's re-release sets I would have preferred having the same style of a re-release considering this being from the same series.
In my opinion, I wish that NISA would do standard editions similar to when FUNimation released their season sets with two thinpaks inside a slipcase. With NISA's premium editions already coming in two thinpaks, aside from their BD-only movie sets, all that would be needed in the standard edition sets would be the slipcase and story guide leaflet. The only difference would be the lack of an artbook. I truly did not care for how hard it was to get the discs out of the Bunny Drop standard edition set, feeling that I was going to snap my discs to get them off of the spindles.

Akuma no riddle - 01
Great premise in this first episode and a great way to introduce each character.
Everyone is messed up
EVERYONE
And i'm not that in all this chaos i detected traces of Sdburton but given that it will become bloody and trashy later i'm not sure what to think.

I would be happier with Buko no Pico. I want to see how he describes his experience.
Is that the secret behind your candy?

I think I heard Eiken.

Lol. Now watch Corvo and Cajun come in and post like 50 times just to ruin his day. Hahaha.

I'll watch Garzey's Wing then. This never happened. I wish I had a gif of a man screaming at the top off his lungs "CAJUUUUUUUUUUUUUN"
This is like a sports manga. Only I won't learn my lesson after losing as learning one would mean posting even more.

i guess it's not the time to reveal that secret ( yet ?? )
Ah that's just mean.

I knew I could believe in you R_thanatos!
Don't you worry i'm not going to let you down
You are reading into this incorrectly, sir.
I'm watching it subtitled, but I also found all of those moments impressive. I like how when Holo revealed her form, the focus was always on Lawrence's reaction, leaving the form itself to our imagination.
Also the ED is adorable. The Engrish and the chibi art are a devastatingly cute combination.
Okay

Hey Animegaf if theirs one thing we can agree on, about SAO is that it had a good opening and ending for the first part of season 1.
Admiral Woofington
Member
Only thing I can agree with when it comes to SAO is that mass murderers are heroes.
Man, I do love Monogatari.
Woah, there's a new Break Blade adaptation? I'm hesitant because the production of the OVA series (or was it a movie series) was so awesome that it helped support the okay source material. That still had some of the best animated mecha fighting alongside Akito the Exiled (and the high production episodes of Majestic Prince).

Space Brothers 88:
This was a phenomenal episode, up there with the very best of the show in my mind. The sequence early in the episode when Hibito awakes from his dream and has a panic attack while in the taxi was absolutely stunning on the direction front. The visuals were just perfect, and they did a great job just making everything feel slightly askew, creating a really oppressive atmosphere with the rain, and coupled with the music and the performance by Hibito's VA gave us what might be among the very best sequences in the entirety of the show.
Transitioning past that, we get the long needed Mutta/Hibito interaction that feels like in some ways, the emotional climax of the series, with Mutta finally getting a chance to properly be an older brother to Hibito (although he still manages to do it in a very Mutta-esque way). It also took some real courage from Hibito to call up Mutta and decide to confide in him to begin with. This episode works so well in part because it relies on and builds upon everything done with the characters to date. Every bit of strange ways that the brothers dealt with one another, Mutta's jealousy, Hibito surpassing Mutta and not needing a big brother figure, and so on, it all comes together here and creates a truly spectacular scene, and one which is emotional to watch, but not in an overblown way. While lesser shows might try to get you with 'feels' or by pouring on excessive melodrama, Space Brothers is confident enough in its writing to present to you this dramatic moment where two brothers talk to one another and slightly change the roles of their relationship, and it's worlds beyond what any of those 'feels' anime could ever hope to achieve in terms of emotions. It's a beautiful thing for a television show when it has build up a character or characters over a long enough period of time that it can confidently alter their situation slightly or put them in an important conversation, and create a huge response for the audience simply by their understanding of what this would mean for the character as a person. This is a form of character development which is sadly too often lost in the rush for a constant barrage of explosive action, crazy revelations and plot twists, and 'feels' driven melodrama.

It's not really new, they are recycling the films into a TV show.
It's basically a retelling of the movie series just edited down to TV format and with apparently some new scenes?

I love Break Blade, reading the manga.
But I don't know if it's a new adaptation, but them breaking the movies into episodes and adding a few extra scenes.
edit: jinx both of you owe me a soda.
I've been told the new Broken Blade adaptation is just the old one remastered or recut or something.
Ah okay. I'll probably skip it unless they have gone back to the canon with some events/characters.
Yeah now that I think back on it, the manga source material was better than I thought in a lot of places. Still nothing groundbreaking though. Also: 14 year old with 28 year old body and vice versa, etc. JAPAN

I'd shit my pants if Yamada and the Seven Witches gets animated because the manga has a good blend of romance, comedy, slice of life, and even drama it's really great. Just hope that the PV gets a million views which is getting close at so it might get an anime.

Emphasis on the cut. They apparently butchered the OVAs to fit TV series timeslots.

Whew. I think I'm over the hill. It's getting better. The Engrish still cracks me up though.

I have not hot glued a single one of my figures Im proud to say.
they have always separated seasons so it is a bit strange. They have even separated one season of a show into two volumes like with Toradora.
mismatching s1/s2 packaging is the worst. For Spice and Wolf they made the season one come in a dvd sized case but S1 was in a bluray case so it looks awful
Its a brave new world we're living in!

Is Woofington a harem protagonist with a crazy sister who is in love with him?
Kanojo no Flag ga Oretara ep 2
Holy shit, that was the fastest pacing episode ever, so many stuff just went off and got introduced to 4 new characters wtf.
First Kana Hanazawa was a girl who was identified as a guy in IS now she is a guy who was identified as a girl.
Kayano Ai, Asumi Kana, Kana Hanazawa, Yukarin, Aki Toyosaki.etc That is one stellar cast for a romcom show.
