Fairy Tail 87 I think the amusement park is probably the only Edolas magic that doesn't completely suck.

I really have to find a way to get my sister to stop watching Fairy Tail. This will be awkward as fuck to watch together.

[KO Traveling Hobo]

Dai Mahou Touge 7+8 Awesome episodes, first we get a horseback battle ending with [spoiler]the tanegashima riffle[spoiler], destroying everything. Then an episode where her sisters are old. Moral? Don't piss off Punie for both cases.

I'm noticing a theme.

Haiyore! Nyaruko-san Episode 05

Wat.

This show is still dumb.

Yet. I can't stop watching. And not gonna lie... Hastur-kun is pretty adorable.

I'm not sure how to feel about that.

I wrote so much emo poetry about this very topic in high school. AKB0048 gets me, man.

Are you being blackmailed by duckroll?

Best of luck with watching this, the most common thought you'll have while watching Un-Go is "huh, okay."

School Food Punishment

Still an awesome band name.

There's going to be a lot of more awkward stuff a lot earlier.

[biosnake20]

So how good is Fairy Tail?

It was either that or Gosick so I decided to go with the shorter one. Plus that picture Dresden posted from Gosick was quite disturbing.

[Mad Pierrot]

There's going to be a lot of more awkward stuff a lot earlier.

Time to commence Operation Make My Sister Hate Fairy Tail, then. She already seems to be well on her way as, in her words, she's "waiting for the plot to be less elementary" and has declared that the show "hasn't touched [her] heart like Dragonball Z did."

Yeah...

[hosannainexcelsis]

It was either that or Gosick

If you're desperate for mysteries, just watch Conan.

[Lafiel]

Genius party

Opening

Loved this, creative visuals and some really awesome music. A great start to the collection, as far as I'm concerned.

Shanghai Dragon

This was pretty fun to watch from a conceptual stand-point, but I wasn't a fan of the direction in some places, namely the "action" sequences felt confusing and hard-to-follow at times because of how was much going on in them. But it wasn't bad, and much better than what I expected from kawamori.

Deathtic 4

Did not like this, did not like the visual style, thought it was very uninteresting to watch, reminded me of a Tim Burton film but way more zzzz.

Doorbell

I loved the atmosphere and mood of this, but didn't feel the concept was strong enough to sustain it's momentum for the entirely of the short, felt a tad to long for it's own good, despite that I enjoyed the hell out of it regardless.

Limit Cycle

The dialogue is just rambling pseudo-intellectual garbage; but I really liked how the visuals and concept complimented the "unnerving" mood of the short, it's not particularly enjoyable to watch, but I thought what it was aiming for was quite effective to say the least.

Happy Machine

Fucking awesome - awesome visuals, awesome direction, awesome everything. <3 Yuasa

Baby Blue

The visual style in this reminded me of Kids on the slope the way the characters blended in with the realistic-looking backgrounds, the opening scene also gave me a real KitS vibe. Otherwise this was pretty damn good, it sorts of interesting to watch since it has a low-key premise, but has a lot of elements like the whole grenade thing which feels out-of-place within the narrative, but somehow works with what the director is trying to portray. The closing scene also had a really interesting direction choice too, that managed to somehow work, plus it had great music too.

[Reknoc]

So how good is Fairy Tail?

Not very, but it manages to be entertaining.

[Jexhius]

Haiyore! Nyaruko-san Episode 05 This show is still dumb. Yet. I can't stop watching. And not gonna lie... Hastur-kun is pretty adorable. I'm not sure how to feel about that. :|

It sounds like you're being abused, and you like it.

[Reknoc]

Just like Nyaruko!

[PdotMichael]

I thought his problem was more Hastur-kun related

[Jexhius]

Un-Go 1 Oh and I don't wanna even talk about this supernatural stuff with the sidekick girl.

I think you mean sidekick boy.

[survivor]

If you're desperate for mysteries, just watch Conan.

I'm reading the manga very slowly. 400 chapters left until I catch up.

I used to watch the anime religiously, but the pacing was a bit too slow for me.

I think you mean sidekick boy.

what?

[Dedication Through Light]

So how good is Fairy Tail?

Fairy Tail is pretty good. Battle wise and actually character interaction wise its up there with the best fights of Bleach (meaning excellent choreography). The music in the background is nice, and the plot nicely paced. I enjoy it, really defines the genre.

Code Geass R2 7

I honestly have no clue what the hell was that.

I understand that, given the circumstances (Nunnally willingly becoming the viceroy and then NTRing Zero with Suzaku) Ledouche would be upset... But not at the point of giving up on everything and resorting to drugs. Seriously. Freaking drugs? He's been through a lot of worse situations.

He's scared of pictures of his sister. Then he uses his Geass to randomly bother some mafia guys in a dark alley. Then he tries to sexually harass his most loyal companion just because. And then Rolo almost kisses him. And, finally, the power of friendship saves him. Oh, Nina... I must cry now because I miss you so.

"Sir Kururugi! BUBBLES! Aaagggh--"

They should've skipped all that and went straight to keikaku.

[Ultimadrago]

Code Geass R2 7

Red X's represent those who are terrible people.

Well, keikaku is making its way back again.

Nunally has shared her plans for Area 11 and the Japanese people are confused once again!

He tells some guy to drop and give him push-ups with his eye! lol! For needing to use it cautiously in order to not have it go out of control, he sure uses the stuff loosely!

LeDOUCHE tries to get some commanded loving from Kallen which results in what the hand said to the face.

Rolo is yaoi for Ledouche.

And bubbles are serious freakin' business!

What else will Code Geass R2 teach me, I wonder.

[chickdigger802]

AKB 2

What the...

this show... what?

acronym organizations? robots? Robot idols? Some pseudo religion think on top?

And is it just me, or does it feel like there are like 3 VA's doing all the idol's voices? Or do idols all kinda sound the same?

Also



Grade A idol quality.

[cosmicblizzard]

So how good is Fairy Tail?

Despite all its flaws, I actually really like it. It always manages to be fun, has an interesting well-realized world, entertaining characters, good fights (albeit asspullish ones), and other stuff. The anime also happens to have godly music, so that's always good.

It does take a bit to get going and the arcs are pretty formulaic, but still fun. In the end, it doesn't try to be anything more or less than a standard shounen with messages about camaraderie and willpower.

[survivor]

Un-Go 2

Hold on, let me see if I got this right. The guy with the computers and stuff dictates who is the killer? And even when the MC finds the true killer it doesn't matter cause it will go against whatever plan the government or whatever has? Cause they like just left the girl there ignoring her crimes.

Also the MC dialogue near the end talking about breaking down was hilarious. It was so nonsensical and he just randomly started talking about his own problems.

Yup, welcome to Un-Go, where pretty much any accomplishment that Shinjuurou makes means nothing because the government always presses the reset button on the case when it suits them. I'm sure that this show is some kind of statement on the futility of seeking justice in a repressive society, but I really have no fucking clue, hahah.

You've inspired me to finish my own runthrough of the show so I can discuss the rest with you.

[Jexhius]

Yeah. I don't know about the comparison with Fate/Zero, but the directing is really overachieving here.

He just likes knocking Fate/Zero whenever he can.

And yeah... this show seems to get a lot of ideas from other shows.

still fun enough. Sports animes are always fun enough for me.

Why are you making fun of the idols' voices, it's all they have!

[BGBW]

AKB0048 2 How am I meant to carry on with my life, knowing that:

So deep.

The ones with dudes are just weird...

And you don't even need dudes for certain "activities".

Well, yeah... that is cool and the 'yuri-ish' undertone of the show makes it more appropriate, but when there is a character like Tsumugi with such a rebellious nature and you put her together with 'thug-4-life' free spirits that know how to make the most out of everything they do, you can only have the greatest love story ever told.

It also the greatest escape story ever told.

[duckroll]

Un-Go 1 wat? I feel like I missed a lot. The whole situation surrounding the dead dude felt lost to me. It's like they just quickly went some facts to show he was involved in some government corruption and that's it. I could barely understand what was he even accused of. And then there was the war stuff that just came out nowhere unless I somehow missed an earlier mention of it. I still don't even know why the MC is called the Defeated Detective. I also have no idea why they immediately called the computer guy. He was supposed to help with tough cases, but the police didn't even investigate, they just called him. Oh and I don't wanna even talk about this supernatural stuff with the sidekick girl. I like the OP and ED a lot. I also like this thing they do whenever a new character is shown, looks pretty cool. Visually my only complaint is some of these characters designs are too vertical for lack of better of words.

The amount of verbal diarrhea uttered in Un-Go is impressive.

Shining Hearts 1-4 this is pretty much the worst thing I have ever seen, it's hard to believe it's an actual real thing and not some kind of Psy op by people who hate anime and RPGs

Code Geass R2 8

Best keikaku yet.

Z for Vendetta! Or some kind of Zero Sentai conference.

That was... Interesting. But now the biggest question of the first season has escalated. Who made a million Zero uniforms? Well, I guess they are allied with the Chinese Federation, huh.

I somehow feel that this is a turning point. Stuff's about to go down.

Was this really necessary?

[Ultimadrago]

Code Geass R2 8

Two conflicting paths intersect again.

This episode was brought to you by the letter V !

Haha! No one got caught with a single item that was part of the keikaku?!
It's a million people!

Anyhow, Suzaku gets questioned by mecha loli about his motive for staying in a place he's hated, he doesn't say it aloud, but of course he does it all for Yuffie .

Keikaku up the wazoo in this one (one of the craziest in terms of "wut" factor), but the plan seems a bit too ideal...I mean an iceberg ship that's "indestructible"?

Quite the Titanic reference!

Nippon Power!

[Tamanon]

Iceberg ship is awesome.

Also, you had Cecile's formal outfit, lol.

[Ultimadrago]

Well, I'm sorry you can't appreciate the value of lighthearted entertainment.

Best Hyouka gif.

Average, in a painful way.

Un-Go 3

What the fuck? It was just a robot all along? Come the fuck on.

And why the hell do they not show the thought process of the detective? I'd just like to know what tipped him that the dead dude was a robot, outside of course the family having a researcher who made an awesome AI. And speaking of that, AI isn't my area of expertie and I have yet to take a course on it, but I was under the impression that passing the Turing test had huge implications in the CS field. Why would the government just ban the entire thing.

[duckroll]

Un-Go 07:

Did you watch the movie before this? I might have missed a post... In fact, I think I missed your posts for ep5-6 too. :(

[Firemind]

What is this Un-Go? Is it about Go?

[Makoto]

What is this Un-Go? Is it about Go?

From my understanding, it is an adaptation on the game Monopoly but more importantly, a critique of capitalism and its values. The moniker "Go" as coined in the board game is indicative of the player's ability to move forward, progress and prosper in a free market society. This show however, intends to dispute that ideal in effort to emphasize just how backwards the middle class has gone, hence the "Un-Go."

[Mad Pierrot]

Un-Go 3 What the fuck? It was just a robot al along? Come the fuck on. And why the hell do they not show the thought process of the detective?

And speaking of that, AI isn't my area of expertie and I have yet to take a course on it, but I was under the impression that passing the Turing test had huge implications in the CS field. Why would the government just ban the entire thing.

Remember, Shinjuurou doesn't have to do any real detective work because he has his little pet PLOT HAX tagging along with him. The thought process behind his deductions isn't important to the show; what really matters is rushing through investigations quickly enough to get the weekly CAN I EAT HIS SOUL NOW, SHINJUUROU, actually explaining his thought processes be damned.

Also re AIs being banned, there are conflicting accounts given by different parties. The government claims that the androids were corrupting the public by being used for sex acts, Sasa claims that the government's explanation was an excuse to gain a monopoly over the production of AIs. The New Privacy Protection SOPA Act whatever blah blah was probably involved somehow, too. Keep in mind that the Japanese government is now corrupt and repressive as fuck so a scientific achievement like sentient AI isn't going to mean jack shit to them.

It sounds like you're being abused, and you like it.

I've come to terms with my masochistic ways.

Marathoning Infinite Stratos (+ the OVA episode) in under a day made me realize this.

[Firemind]

Infinite Stratos is pretty watchable by anime standards all things considered. Could be worse is what I'm saying.
