Kawakami Tomoko (Utena's voice actress) died yesterday.

I read about it a few minutes ago ;__;

 

[mAcOdIn]

Inukami
Street Fighter II V

Hmmm.... Still no Genshiken?

Inukami is awesome. One of the few harem shows where the guy with the harem ISN'T the main character. Also, dog girls.

Ehh, sorta, the guy's harem basically all love the MC but I guess they're not the MC's harem so, well, sorta I guess.

Too bad about the thing that completely ruined it.

I have no idea what that is, but if it is a spoiler about the manga, I don't even wanna know it!

I had to look at the synopsis to make sure it wasnt some kind of pedodrama

I won't say anything. Sorry, I figured you already knew.

 

[BluWacky]

The scope of the world in Shangri-La is pretty impressive. I hope whoever drew the backgrounds and environment art for this show is working somewhere better than Gonzo now.

Background art, as is so often the case, wasn't done by Gonzo at all. Backgrounds were done by Atelier Musa.

Kawakami Tomoko (Utena's voice actress) died yesterday.

RIP. One of the most talented voice actresses of the 90s and 2000s.

Somehow, I get the feeling that you're really really excited for Pengindrum.

Everyone should be. It's Ikuhara.

The anime will probably make it very easy to ignore it anyway.

I hope so. I really want to like it. Will definitely be watching the anime to see how it's handled.

I doubt the anime will even get beyond volume 4 of the manga. It's only going to be 11-13 episodes, right?

I didn't even think about that. Damn. This could be one of the best shows of the summer season.

 

[Lafiel]

Yeah, it's 11-episodes max, which will be enough to cover the first arc of the manga. It will only be a issue if they get a second season order! (which i doubt will happen).

Interesting. Explains a lot too.

 

[duckroll]

Atelier Musa rocks. You might also have seen their awesome work in recent shows such as Gundam Unicorn and X-Men.

Are they related to (or they spawned from) Atelier Roku (07)? It seems like it could be a coincidence derived by the usual meaning of that word, but, I don't know!

I watched Ga-Rei Zero this past week and while I thought it had some good episodes and interesting storylines I thought how it ended sucked. Was such a let down, missing a lot of opportunities IMO.

Just wasn't satisfying at all.

Princess Princess 01 - Crossdressing anime about a boys' school which has certain, prettier boys dress up as girls for the greater good of the rest of the student body.

Sounds almost exactly like Reversible!

Sounds almost exactly like Reversible!

At least in Reversible it's a pain shared evenly by the whole student body, in PriPri just 3 dudes have to suffer the pain of the lustful gazes and attention of the whole school (PriPri manga was good dumb fun).

Either one sounds good to me.

Whoops. Getting ahead of myself. Just meant 9.

Me too I really want to like it,still looking forward to it but I swear to god if turns into pedodrama am going to break something.

I know I should only be worrying about it if there a season 2 but the slightest hint of it and am bailing out of there.

Impressions dump!


Hanasaku 10

I'm not seeing the point in this anymore. Granted, it's a slice-of-life, but god; these are such mundane slices. It's not bad to the point of dropping, as it's still charming, and it's production values are as through the roof as ever, but damn. It's hitting me like K-on does atm.

So you're saying it's excellent?

Also, how exactly is the major 'point' in that particular episode similar to K-On!? Sometimes there are important decisions!

 

[trejo]

Sket Dance 10

One of the weakest ones thus far. It felt like a bad Scooby Doo episode and I had a lot of trouble being interested in what was going on.

Kimi ni Todoke parodies are also lost on me because I will never, ever watch that show.

Miyu TV 13-14

If this were a battle shounen that little rescue arc would've taken at least some 15 or so episodes. Thankfully, characters here know how to get shit done efficiently and in a timely manner.

So, we get to see some backstory on Miyu's and Larva's relationship and in the process we also see Miyu show more emotion than in all previous episodes combined. There was also this little subplot with some good Shinmas but who cares about them, really. Also, Larva and Garline? They just used to be friends I'm tellin' ya. Honest.

Good stuff.

that choice felt so contrived. They hinted at a few things, yeah, but I'd almost prefer they not bring the psyche/supernatural elemants into the show.

as good as its production values are, I watch hanasaku because its premise promises something more than highschool girls doing simple shit. This ep.. It didn't really feel as if it lived up to that.

I can do something useful! Apparently these are the translations for the infoboxes:

Takakura Himari: "Innocent and idolized by her two brothers. Her health is poor and she's been hospitalized. But what's with this weird outfit?!"

Takakura Kanba: "Has a lively personality and a rough manner of speaking. Good-looking, popular with the ladies, and has a flirty side."

Takakura Shouma: "Every bit as calm as Kanba is lively, but that all changes when it comes to Himari. Good at cooking."

The penguins: "Not just normal penguins, as they can understand what the three siblings say. But the penguins seem to be invisible to everyone else..."

There better be some incest.

Read the manga. Gai-Rei Zero is a prequel to it.

Sooooo these penguins vs Penpen? Who wins?

What? Too early?

More like too dumb. Penpen always wins.

Looking at the images and other information released from the show before it aired and even in the man GAF thread...I don't see what exactly the premise promised? It's not like the show specifically led you to believe it was something other than itself.

Try watching the PV with poor understanding of Japanese
at first i thought it was his grandma as a little girl or something

I've read the manga. It's definitely not a pedodrama. The problem I have with it is something else entirely.

 

[Trojita]

Inukami is awesome. One of the few harem shows where the guy with the harem ISN'T the main character. Also, dog girls.

I wasn't going to spoil it for him. It's an inverse harem.

Spoiler

Hilariously he slowly takes away his Cousin's harem.

Its his Aunt

technically.

You aren't too far off. She is technically his aunt and the result of some good old fashioned grandpa sex.

For Dresden:

Ano Hana 9 - If you find you can only write in one specific book, at least try and save some paper. Don't write in the middle of the bloody page.

Ano Hana 9

This show has taken quite a nose dive ever since it went full retard with the Menma thing. Not that it was excellence itself before that, mind you.

On the upside, next ep preview shows Anaru wearing a hat. Nice.

 

[Uchip]

new Hellsing next month....
only took one and a half years
better be worth it

 

[icecream]

That's because it's the prequel to the manga series. It had to set things up for the continuation, which it did a good job in giving perspective between Yomi and Kagura's past, since it was kinda left hanging early on in the manga.
