I mean seriously, a distaste for the purest form of love. It makes no sense!

When they make yuri anime that isn't about two "OH SO KAWAII AND HOT" moe girls, but one that looks at how a relationship like that would play out in reality, then we'll talk.

They should make Gone Home the anime. And I fucking hated Gone Home.
Not for the yuri, but because the kid was stupid.

DOES THIS LOOK LIKE THE FACE OF MERCY

Getting so close to the glorious end of this arc I can taste it. Probably about two episodes from Gon and Pitou's fight. This is doing a good job at
showing how much of a psycho Gon can be.
Also
Pouf and Youpi's reactions were great.
 
Gundam 00 S1 - 10

Yo daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn. Dat Gundam Nadleeh scene.

Whoa what the hell's happening to Allelujah here? Since when did he, wait what? Aw shit.
So basically Allelujah is Two-Face. Oh brilliant.
 
What type of pacing do you guys prefer. The ones where theirs action straight in the beginning like Attack on Titan or the ones where they slowly build up, and finally unleash the battle like Hunter X Hunter with the King and Netero.
 
Hunter x Hunter Episode 127

What even? My prediction was wrong, what was Togashi thinking? King looked like he definitely survived last episode at the end but now he's dead. He couldnt escape in time or something?
Perfect emotion and everything that scene. Really surprising.

I do love how after every problematic episode, Togashi found someway to involve the elements I need to make me reassess why I found an episode bad. Too good.

Definitely the HxH build up kind. If you look at Attack on Titan now fucking nothing has been happening for like 8 chapters and it doesn't feel like a build up to anything exciting or good.
 
I wonder if the Chimera Ant arc is Togashi's own twist on views of Biological/Nuclear weapons.

Would explain why there's so much narration like someone was reading history and why the necessity of making certain Ant characters appear so human and that whole corruption of Gon. It's pretty awesome.

Episodic action where something awesome happens every 1 or 2 weeks.

To me Togashi's a brilliant writer, yeah he may have some mishaps but who doesn't. And knowing that he wrote Yu Yu Hakusho which has great pacing and an amazing ending shows that he's talented.

I pick Option C. Neither

Attack on Titan suffered from lengthening out scenes that didn't need to be lengthened out by slow motion thinking and flashbacks.

Hunter x Hunter Chimera Ant arc suffers from jumping everywhere within a time span and artificially extending episodes where nothing happens for the whole fucking episode FUCK YOU just get out of one thing and rewind time I don't want to see Killua pick a booger and then jump for 4 episodes into other shit and finally come back to him and somebody saying "meanwhile, Killua finally stopped picking that booger. It reminded him of Gon and he started crying"

Hunter x Hunter went from Feast for Crows to Dance with Dragons. They had all these episodes on characters I truly didn't give a fuck about jumping back and forth. Now it finally got to the good shit.

How could you not care for Mr.Octopus, he's truly a man who determined to sacrifice his life for his friends.

Is there any place to stream Mazinger Z, or are the DVDs the only route? At least that's a newly released collection rather than some long out of print thing from the mid 2000s, though in any case I want to see it more as a historical curiosity than a great, must own show.

Huh? What did I say? Did I screw up again? :(
[Hunter x Hunter 2011] - 104

I've really failed to address the element in the room with this entire arc.

Who, exactly, is designing and creating all the Chimera Ant's costumes because they really have a predilection towards ripped animal dudes and ladies in speedos and bikinis.


Why are you complaining?! What if the creator reads this thread and you become the reason we can't have nice things.

I want a segmented exo-skeleton sexy onee-sama-sama haiyka to step on my balls with love any day <3
 
Oh god, the DAL pinup is wonderful...

Behold everyone , the new face of Sdburton !
An
agressive hunter Sdburton-like

Can't wait.
Nope. I have no interest in battleship moe.
Please embrace the Moe :

Don't resist ... it's no use to resist.

Please, for your sake, stop watching Devil Survivor 2 the Animation.
I think it's already over.
DS2 is a prefectly average and not good tasting game to anime adaptation.
The blandness actually prevented me from trying the game.
 
HxH 127

Oh man, just seeing that prideful charismatic character being reduced to this state because of that indiscriminate killing blast. Much introspective.

Well, I wish you good luck on your quest to fulfill that one.

I only have to wait a few years till google already has Boston Dynamics and will likely buy Hummer from whoever owns them for their autonomous car projects. I just have to wait till they buy the RealDoll manufacture as well and then, like Voltron, my dreams will assemble in all its glory and you can remember me when you place your order too.

I don't care for Mr. Octopus because he hasn't done crap for me to care about him. Just because he
isn't an asshole and is loyal, doesn't make me automatically like him.

And you call yourself a human being. smh


Heartcatch Precure! 42

That entire scene with the girls supporting the kid's attempted confession by communicating through the medium of interpretative dance and having Incredibly Ineffective Strategy Talks with the fairies over walkie-talkies...that was golden. I'm talking solid gold. XD

Hayato-kun is a man among men. even if I think he's crazy for liking a girl who must be like twice his age
 
And you call yourself a human being. smh

Isn't that a reason to like him though, since you know he isn't a dick but a person with a heart of gold.

I don't hate him. But I don't like him either. I'm not a likestitute. I pick and choose characters I care about. By that logic I should care about every single other dude in that team since they have a heart of gold. But I only really liked
Knuckle and the chameleon, and even then I was bored a bit by their sections.
 
Hunter x Hunter 127

GON. GON. GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON.

HNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNG THIS SHOW IS FOR YOU. YOU ARE MY EVERYTHING.

God I hope Gon stays like this the whole show. So much better. I fucking love this one. He's fucking roofless. I SEENT IT.

Also shit happened this episode. Gon using his brain. Everything was perfect. Also I'm glad that Palm and Killua are willing to
die with Gon
ultimate bromance and romance.

I guess Gon is one of those characters you care about.
 
I should hope so. He's the main protagonist.

Well, Gon's not a typical Battle Shonen protagonist.
He really doesn't give a shit if what he's doing is "wrong" or correct or just. He just wants to get what he's set on and doesn't care if someone like Komugi would die because of it.

Well, they're still working on the live-action one, but I'm talking about the pair of recap movies coming later this year and next:

http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/new...n-anime-gets-2-compilation-films-in-2014-2015

This is a show I don't mind having just two recap movies for since the pacing and animation were so off sometimes.

definitely interested. This might be one of those series that works better as several movies. Unlike Berserk which would work better as a really well animated tv show vs movies since so much shit had to be cut from the films, this actually works because so little happens and they can focus on making the best of it instead of forcing a longer pace.

Honestly I'm afraid how people are going to react to a new season of AoT whenever it comes out. The new stuff has been meh so far besides the (manga spoilers)
fight between Eren and Mikasa vs the Colossal Titan and the Armored Titan. Also Eren showing his voice controlling powers. That was pretty sweet

If all the people who loved it could sit through the BOULDER then they'll probably do fine sitting through the boring current arcs.
It can't get worse then the boulder.

The boulder was in the same arc as all the cool shit and the twist though. After what I talked about all we've had is (again manga spoilers)
boring coup d'etat crap. THERE'S FUCKING TITANS OUTSIDE. GOD DAMMIT. GO FIGHT THEM

Also Nafe's Crest/Banner of the Stars posts seriously make me want to rewatch the whole thing again. I never thought I'd enjoy a series centered around space elves so much.

I'm not sure if you're aware or if you're interested but a few people are watching select shows to make up what they're calling a "backlog season" and Crest of the Stars is one of the shows.

Ah, right, before I forget. Love Live S1 was awesome, Nafe. Thanks for the recommendation. Started out a little slow, but really picked up after two episodes.

That's good to hear that you enjoyed it or thought it was fun. Season 2 is actually airing right now if you want to just carry on.
