SO MANY CAMEOS. DAT RAIN MIKAMURA. DAT HAMAN KHAN. DAT EVERYTHING GAAAAAAH.

FUCK YOU BANDAI NOW MY WING FENICE IS OBSOLETE FUCK YOU FUCK YOU WHY

The Reiji vs Sei fight in this episode was great. Really nice to see how far Sei's come, and I like that they didn't bother showing who won because that was beside the point. I love this series, man. I really hope they take the lessons they've learned in this series' writing and apply them to a new Gundam soon.

No one can resist the HanaKana voice. And Mikako Takahashi, but she's not in everything. This mini-arc to finish off the series is pretty enjoyable. Plus, I got to hear the ED B-side for the Band of 14 Devils played in the show!

Oh hey, looks like Dio has
had a glimpse into Aoba's head and seen for himself that he's been telling the truth about coming from the past and knowing Hina from before
. That's actually a pretty cool development, and a nice way of using the whole
experimental prototype
plot point. Since he's sharper than Aoba, I wonder if he'll be the one to
finally put two and two together and work out what's going on with Hina's timeline
.

Meanwhile Hina is hilariously weak-willed and can't even decide which side she's on, though I guess
watching her father die and finding out she might not even be Zogilian at all within the space of a few minutes
is a fairly good excuse for having a bit of a mental breakdown.

And now
the enemy has Coupling units
, but that was always going to happen.

Fun episode.

Yeah, Watashi talks insanely fast in the first couple of episodes. It cools down a little afterwards (or maybe I got used to it).

It does not, however, cool down on being weird. :p

So at the risk of my neck, when does Princess Tutu get good? I mean it's not outstandingly bad, but considering all the "It's way different" and "What I expected what I got" that preceded me watching this I was expecting . . . something more?

Magi S2 - Episode 23



More bad art, more dodgy animation, more stupid Djinn Equip designs. Lol. Some parts of this episode looked a bit better than the previous couple of episodes, but that's not saying much. Like the episode before this, it was shounen fight as fuck. Zzzzzz. Hopefully the last two episodes actually have good action animation! Oh, and the music usage is getting REALLY bad again. >_<

I like the fish girl design.

*sales nerd hat ON again*

It seems that Toaru Hikushi e no Koiuta (Pilot's Love Song) is also eschewing the normal singles route and going straight to a BD/DVD box for its home media release later this summer. Guess that it explains why we hadn't seen anything solicited for it yet...

*sales nerd hat OFF*

Then you're gonna love this: a whole set of Kanbaru design art where that picture came from, from the Bakemonogatari Production Note -characters- artbook:

http://artbooksnat.tumblr.com/post/78552391950/bakemonogatari-production-note-scans-suruga-kanbaru

Oh, and here's the same thing for Senjougahara fans:

http://artbooksnat.tumblr.com/post/...ougahara-bakemonogatari-production-note-chara

Need to find myself an artbook of Watanabe artwork. The Bake/Nise sets sorta had this but I need a big book encompassing all his work. Especially if Komugi is in it.

I don't care for yuri whatsoever, Golden Time is great but the drama drags it down for me, and D-Frag while great has already established it's a comedy show with inklings of a harem/romcom but I wouldn't consider it that. Witch Craft Works would be the closest thing and I am loving it now that I caught up with it. But unless I completely missed a show this season, these are the ones I recall noticing.

Unless that was an all-encompassing statement which in that case I think I've watched the major romcoms I care about. If people have suggestions I'll welcome them, can't say for sure what I've watched until I look at the anime's entry in MAL. One I never gave a chance to but is pretty high up in my backlog is Lovely Complex. I might watch that then get unto one of the longer running shows like Space Bros or Hajime no Ippo.

But nothing. NOTHING. Comes before Another. Watching that became a necessity after yesterday's gifs.



Actually the biggest topics these past 2-3 weeks have been downgradation of game graphics and (like always) PS4 vs Xbox One. Somebody yesterday made a 'females in gaming' thread and I haven't checked it out since then. It basically revolved around 'it's marketing' 'no it's not' and 'bla bla bla sexism'



Hmmm.
good point. I just recall the scene being very suggestive. But then they did mention he had her shirt

Watch Another. do it for Mei

Sherlock Holmes and co lose their magicaldetective powers, become lazy and derelict, and face expulsion from their MagicDetective Academy if they don't get their powers back. And their arch enemies are disguised as teachers and students or something.

The unique visual style you are seeing won't go away, but you will get used to how fast the characters talk. I generally was overwhelmed in the first episode but gradually didn't notice it over time.

Futari wa Pretty Cure RE: Splash Star 5


Meet Kazuya aka Not-Fujipi (left), and Kenta (right). Kazuya is pretty much better than Fujipi in every single way. He has a goal, and is quite accomplished. The other big thing is that unlike Nagisa's inability to hold an actual conversation with FujiP, Saki is actually perfectly capable of having a conversation with him. It's as if it was more admiration than say, a crush (but it's still a crush). Can you blame him? He's also a capable smooth talker, gawd damn son. The fact that he's Mai's brother is probably one of his best attributes, because it shuts off any possible way of her falling out with Mai over him (in terms of competing for love)

Kenta on the other hand, is a childhood friend, and automatically loses the love race as a result. He's like... the weaklink for me in Splash Star because he's a constant active manzai person, and I really don't like it that much. It's like... his dream is to piss me off, and it's sad, because he's not exactly a bad person, considering this episode. The early episodes sure do make Saki look more like a jerk in comparison to Nagisa, since the tea spilling happened near the halfway point, it doesn't last too long thankfully.

Really got to give props to Mai's character. She's very perceptive, especially given her hobby, and she's actively guiding people in the right direction based on that. She'd fit the qualifications of being the Heartcatch leader, that's for sure. She's just shining for this stretch.


Hey look, an animation error! GOD Dammit Toei. Didn't help that the fighting here was incredibly clunky.

Right Stuf links if you don't like paying through the nose (except Titan's because we already know those):
And for anyone with a terrible memory (such as myself), the three other series Funimation promised a Summer 2014 release for are Hataraku Maou-sama, Senran Kagura, and whatever the most recent Hetalia series was.

It requires multiple viewings. Seriously. Watch it once to get the gist then again to fill in what you miss.

inugami san to nekoyama san PV? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tmxCpvR4ReY I was too lazy to upload it...

More yuri? Thats fine with me. It wont be as cute as Sakura Trick though.

Clannad After Story 16

I just can't...

And now.... it starts. All aboard.... the Feels Train.

Yeah, Watashi talks insanely fast in the first couple of episodes. It cools down a little afterwards (or maybe I got used to it).

It does not, however, cool down on being weird. :p

I can live with the art style. I seen worse. There were moments I chuckled cause I would catch something. It's just hard to read what they're saying and see all the imagery flying by that I miss. Good to know that it gets easier to keep up with.

Theere it is :p

See Gazoinks! Now you understand the sick joy in watching people fall apart in these episodes. The funny part is
you know it's coming but you tell yourself they won't do it and when it does happen they somehow make it sadder then you imagined it would be.
AndHereWeGo.gif

Yup. We get way too much pleasure from others pain. But it's all so worth it.

And now the fun begins!

Don't know about the word fun but all the feels are locked and loaded.

The unique visual style you are seeing won't go away, but you will get used to how fast the characters talk. I generally was overwhelmed in the first episode but gradually didn't notice it over time.

Visual style is weird but I can deal with it. Just surprising Madhouse did art like this. Kinda crazy.

Don't worry bud. You stuck with Clannad so I will stick with this to it's end.

So Nero is an asshole and Cordelia is the best character. That about covers things so far.

I remember when they first revealed Build Fighters it looked like the stupidest premise ever to me, and fast-forward to now and it seems like one of the most universally-loved Gundam series ever.

I might have to marathon it anyway later even if 100% of the references will fly over my head, since the core plot still stands on its own.
 
So how do blu-ray of series/films work? Am I hoping for too much for say Jin-Roh Wolf Brigade or Vampire Hunter D to come back to the US at a decent price? Or for Fate/Zero to eventually go down in price to something affordable?

A bunch of factors, if there is a Blu-ray release in Japan, if someone licensed something, if they feel that it'll be worthwhile to release a Blu-Ray release.

I think Jin-Roh is unlicensed now due to Bandai stepping out of the NA market in releasing stuff and Vampire Hunter D is licensed by Urban Vision which seems all but dead too.

Seriously, I actually rewatched Clannad After Story 16 last night and I said damn.
The way Tomoya tries to get Nagisa to speak a little more because deep down he knows something's wrong and will probably get worse and is denying that with all his might. You could freaking see himself struggling to hold it together. Just damn ;_;. It gets sadder every time I see it.

Man, I hope you do another one of these challenges soon. I love the fact that more people are watching Clannad. Too bad I can't take you up on it though. I have like, three shows I'd like to see your impressions of.

Noooo! I liked Dancing Star more than Pajama jama da.
Urusei Yatsura Parallel works.
Ataru lost the tag game, Lum doesn't understand :SDburton, Ryuunosuke is...a-a-a man in girls clothes, Ataru is too gentle.
That new OP also indicates a new studio and a new director. Studio Pierrot is now Studio Deen and Mamoru Oshii quit!

I forget the new director's name but him and Deen are the same into Maison Ikkoku.
