Let's shorten the wait with this.

Now you're making me nostalgia for the times from when I used to play in a jazz combo.

[Hitokage]

Jazz doesn't smell, right?

Only of young men passionately in love.

[hosannainexcelsis]

In a good way. I just wish that the original tapes were still around, not merely the SFX-enriched stuff they were forced to put on record. Trust me: the world needs more Charlie Kosei. Charlie Kosei, at the age he is now, should be obligated to sing every manly song ever.

I have nothing against Charlie Kosei. The Mononoke OP is great!

[duckroll]

Eureka 7 AO BDs contain English subs http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news...-subs-in-japan Not sure it contains quality though.

Not that surprising, since when Bandai Entertainment shut down, they suggested that this was the route that Bandai was going to take in future, where they have English subs on the BDs and just hope that hardcore fans import instead. Gundam AGE and the upcoming picture book OVA for Code Geass also has English subs. Yamato 2199 does too.

[Dragoon En Regalia]

—Did you say jazz combo?! Do you know what that means??!!

I wish my school had a jazz combo. McKinney is terribly boring.

I have nothing against Charlie Kosei. The Mononoke OP is great!

Of all the things to remember him for. I'm guessing you didn't like all the Takeo Yamashita, then?

[Jexhius]

So I came across Ponyo on BD for like 5 bucks. I always found the movie itself rather underwhelming but it's totally worth it for dat water animation alone.

Oh, easily. If you can kind of just accept Ponyo as an exercise in beautiful animation with a nonsense storyline then it's a fairly enjoyable watch.

For some people, that's asking quite a lot, which is understandable. You expect more from Miyazaki.

This is a new jazz for me to experience.

Cigarettes and sweat, I am pretty sure of that. Hitokage is lying as usual!

That too, I guess.

I think that the tapes are around actually. The Lupin Series 1 BDs sound pretty good.

[Dragoon En Regalia]

I think that the tapes are around actually. The Lupin Series 1 BDs sound pretty good.

IIRC, the actual instrumental tapes are missing or, more likely, were written over to conserve storage (a la Doctor Who). The officially-released album with all of the music on it had a bunch of SFX flittered throughout each track, which is disappointing.

[duckroll]

Hmmm... the case art for the E7AO BD is by Kenichi Yoshida and Shiho Takeuchi. I wonder if that implies Takeuchi is contributing heavily to the mechanical design/direction of the show like Eiji Nakata did for E7...

[Ezalc]

Everyone's going to jazz in their pants.

Depends on the amount of Sax there is, but even without sax a good beating of the drum can get me going.

[Femmeworth]

Let's shorten the wait with this.

But that's not the kind of jazz that will be in Kids on the Slope. :(

[Dragoon En Regalia]

No Sax man here, but Trumpet is fine by me. So what?

[Risette]

I see. I guess they still managed to make a new nice sounding soundmix for the show with such materials since, well, the effects are part of the show. That's pretty lame re: the OST though.

Nakata had a main animator credit tho

Jormungand 1

I don't dislike the crazy thought process of the cast nor the violence displayed, but the character's art creeps me out a little bit (Koko's smile mainly) and the visual quality of the episode was sort of meh.
I'm also not sure what this show is about. The adventures of an arms-dealer and her gang? The way a child soldier will get back his emotions and start having a real life? I guess I'll have to keep watching to find out.

[duckroll]

Nakata had a main animator credit tho

Do we even know who the main animators for E7AO are yet?

[Jexhius]

it's a comparatively small slice of the show considering there's 540+ episodes of one piece out there!

Well, that's still a lot shorter than Sazae-san which has over 6,000 episodes.

[Dragoon En Regalia]

I can live with it, as I love the Yuji Ohno stuff more. But Takeo's stuff was real unique for the franchise, and it encapsulated the deadpan style of that series quite well. Not to mention that it has some amazing OP themes, and what is still the one and only true ED theme that Lupin is known for (in Japan, at least).

What I want is more Charlie Kosei. Listening to his Lupin vocal album from 2002 makes me shed manly fucking tears every time, because his arrangements and his players are so damn good at what they do.

[Dead]

That credit hasnt been revealed yet, if its even been assigned. Both E7 and Xam'd had it though.

[duckroll]

Pretty much every single BONES show these days has credits for main animators or key animators in the Opening. We'll definitely find out tonight.

[Regulus Tera]

Sonic: Night of the Werehog

This was pretty good. Not only the animation was expressive and fluid, but the script isn't half bad. It's a silent short with no dialogue so you don't have to worry about the stupid Sonic voice acting, but even so the sound effects were supreme. It's short and inoffensive too: about ten minutes long and there's hardly anything to scoff at.

There's a myriad of complaints you can make about Sega's in-house departments, but their CGI studio is among the best. I would say they are even better than Squeenix's. 5/5 gotta go fasts

It also had a moé ghost. Moé. Ghost.

[Trojita]

What else are you going to do with a bunch of concubines?

But that's the cult leader's concubines! There was no emphasis on the cult itself being a drug AND sex cult. All we saw of the followers was the drug emphasis.

Mai Ritoru Poni: Yuujou wa Mahou 14

Everything that could have went horribly wrong for Rarity in this episode basically did. Her friends looked a gift horse in the mouth and Rarity learned the lesson that by trying to please everypony you end up pleasing nopony :(

The fashion show segments were a lot of fun. The bad dresses were hilariously hideous while the good dresses looked nice, but that’s totally boring!

The DJ Pony was totally awesome as was the Garbo reference by Rarity in her moment of despair while wallowing into a crazy cat pony.

I’ve never been a huge fan of Rarity so I wasn’t really looking forward to this episode at all, but in the end it turned out pretty decent considering it’s a Rarity episode.

[Trojita]

So this is what happens when we go community.

[Ezalc]

I think we all who's to blame for this travesty.

In my defence Night of the Werehog was animated by Japanese people.

Not even AnimeGAF can escape from Sonic.

You shouldn't escape it, it's good!

Ehhh, I'm still really not sure what to think about this...

Do we have any more confirmation on this being a single cour show?

Well, that's still a lot shorter than Sazae-san which has over 6,000 episodes.

Oh wow.

[zeroshiki]

I have a feeling Medaka is gonna stay a romcom until it ends :lol

To the anguished screams of the manga fans.

Stop that.

12 have been confirmed. But its Shueisha worst case 6 month break between series 1 and 2.

Posted my OT for E7AO, complete with delightful song titles and lyrics strewn about :3

Oops, I kinda skipped over the part where it's only 10 minutes long. I might check it out then.

nah

lol, that would be even worse than it just being a single cour

Smells like a lot of weed man.

Don't forget the banging.

You got that right. Especially the newage jazzers now man. All the ones i'm friends with are so mello.

Cigarettes and sweat, I am pretty sure of that. Hitokage is lying as usual!

Oh thank goodness. I was starting to think 21st century jazz started going in the wrong direction that it was never intended to go. I mean, at least I don't think jazz is about dudes making out. It wasn't during my time.

Eureka Seven AO is 9 volumes long. With 2 eps in Vol1, and 3eps in Vol2-9, that makes it a 26 ep series.

Every time I fire up the YYH blurays I'm amazed at how good they look.

Medaka Box 2

This had some seriously aggressive ahoge. Instead of the cleavage being lumped into the shots like the last episode there were numerous instances of stray ahoge hanging into the frame to bounce around. Everything about this show except for Shiranui continues to be bland beyond all reason, and the monologue near the end of this episode is painfully dry and Zzzzzzzzzz inducing.
