Honestly consider how much money Madoka is been making. It will be very stupid to no capitalize. Also pretty sure many fan want more Madoka whether you like it or not

The thing is that Aniplex is still making a lot of money on merchandise without actually paying the costs of production for something new. The better idea would be to wait until it's starting to die out and then revitalize it with the announcement of more coming. That allows you to milk the franchise as much as possible without incurring more avoidable costs.

 

[R_thanatos]

So I won't watch The Rebellion then, I love this show and it's already a favorite, I don't think I can handle losing what I have with it.

Rebellion must be watched , whatever you think about the Tv ending. People are reacting strongly because the ending turned the show in a direction they didn't expect, but regardless , experiencing madoka isn't complete without that movie.

I'll argue to the death that those who didn't like rebellion ending had their brain turned off when they explained in the middle of the movies why it had to be done.

But whatever...

 

[Zephyx]

Oh, hell no at the top one




As long as I have some kind of context as to what I'm getting myself into, I'd probably watch it at some point. It's thise "surprises" that suck, but yeah. I've already been tainted by Scool Days..


This is from Mirai Nikki, right?

Yosuga no Sora follows a bit of a omnibus format so you can skip over the twincest parts. It's still a bit disturbing if you watch it though.

As for that Mirai Nikki screenshot, yes. I can definitely see the eyes of the best yandere girl out there.

Watching Love Live is like watching 3 different studio making anime together. That art inconsistency

yeah I dont see anime stuff at least until 2017 really. Thought Madoka popularity kinda fading now

KUNG FURY:

Better then watching another episode of Sound! Euphonium.

 

[R_thanatos]

Oh, hell no at the top one

Yotsuga no sora is an omnibus release.. the show was aired like a Visual novel.
Basicly There are 4 heroines , each with their troubles that the MC will get to romance. The thing is one of the heroine is the MC sister.

If you dislike this , you can watch each route by following the correct order of episodes to watch.
From memory , the first route is 1,2,3,4. The second route is 1,2,5,6 the third is 1,7,8,9
and you get the pattern

So you can really watch and enjoy the show ( and get the romance you want ) and ignore the incest route by following this chart :

You just need to ignore the episode 10,11,12

 

[John Blade]

Man...I am wondering if I should look into His and Her Circumstances as the intro music just catch my attention without any warming. Still watching Gasaraki but it's taking a bit longer to go through as work is slowing me down right now to a claw. Might pick it up during the weekend a bit.

[R_thanatos]

"His and Her Circumstances" is a good show , with excellent characters and cast , cool production values untill .... that happens

Still worth a watch

 

[Szadek]

Mahou Shoujo Madoka★Magica

Wow, this was seriously amazing. Madoka as a person, is so amazing and incredible; kind, loving and caring.

One of us,one of us.
Madoka is one of the least popular character of the main cast,but I like her the most.
This anime is my all time favorite ( and I don't see that changing anytime soon).
Admittedly some of my reasons for that are very subjective and personal

 

[R_thanatos]

Yep , just like a visual novel , you make your choices at key points in the story.

"Have to" and "correct" are kinda wrong here. There is no correct outcome, only different outcomes. Each set of episodes in the flowchart just depicts that one particular pairing. The whole point is that there are multiple girls and they all win, each in their own route. Plus the progression is kinda natural if you just watch them in the numbered order, ignoring the last 3 if incest is too much.

Actually guys, what other series beside Yosuga No Sora and Amagami SS use this format? Those two are the only ones I'm aware of.

Oh? I'm a little upset that Madoka isn't liked more, I think she's incredible for what she had to do and went through.

While she is not my favorite character, I do personally like her. She is likeable all around, nothing wrong with that.

If you like over the top 80's homages and silly action movies that try too hard on purpose (aka Shoot'Em Up) then watch Kung Fury. Currently free on Youtube and only 30 minutes long

Fate/stay night Unlimited Blade Works s2 20

Fantastic, all around an awesome episode. Mad props to Lancer, but also to Shirou.

 

[Twin Tails]

[R_thanatos]

I don't understand why S2 - 09

It wasn't a Prank after all !!!!!!

DAT intense pressure ... i feel right at home ( not for the job but because my mom wants to see me married )
DAt pressure , stay strong takashi !!

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

Rapid Rouge (Animator Expo)

Pretty awesome designs and style. The Samurai power armor kinda reminds me of Jin-Roh. I'm fairly certain this was all 3D modeled? Looked fine though. Much better then something like Knights of Sidonia which this looks semi-similair to, movement is more natural, and in the "next episode" preview you can see some extremely early CG footage. Pretty neat.

didnt expect that.
But man this show is adorable and like Show By Rock it is extremely hot blooded on occasion.

Etotama - 08
Excellent episode ..


I kinda expected more of the race , but they clearly couldn't blow their budget ..but i'm still kinda disapointed, because after the snake episode i kinda expected more from the show.

Also BUy the blu-rays !! they even try to sell the show within the show, lol.
But the animation was still awesome.

Etotama wanted to tell me something i guess :

Kare kano is a great romantic comedy where the characters develop somewhat. However some production issues and directional changes happened and it was kind of left hanging.

 

[Zephyx]

Actually guys, what other series beside Yosuga No Sora and Amagami SS use this format? Those two are the only ones I'm aware of.

Photo Kano uses the same format but since there are too many girls, they only get 1 episode each (except for the main girl). I don't think there's anything else though aside from Amagami SS+.

I think I remember watching Kare Kano when I was young but felt like it was unfinished after the anime stopped airing. Fruits Basket maybe a better package to recommend as the plot is resolved nicely IIRC.

I'm pretty sure you're the contrarian shard

 

[wonzo]

Episodes of the first season (#1 - #12）will be closed at 24:00 on May 31 (JST).
The live broadcasting programs "Japan Anima (tor)'s Exhibition - as a trace -" on Niconico will also finish the time-shift priod of the first season at the same time.
If you have not watched the titles, please check them immidiately!

guess theyre gonna sell season collections on discs. if not then fuck em

Fruits Basket has a pleasing resolution.

Kung Fury

Normally I'd think something as earnestly stupid and over-the-top as this would have me completely 100% on board all the way. But this didn't do anything for me that the trailer didn't already offer. It was just a fun, hollow half-hour of entertainment.

They really did deliver pretty much exactly what they promised though, so good on them.

Bat. Shit. Crazy.

I like the characters. Naoto is pretty awesome. The craziness was fun. The action sequences were... very actiony, certainly. The intentionally shitty animation was endearing, and gave way to some funny moments.

Story was hard to follow though. I get the just of it. Also some of the references went over my head.

Overall pretty good. Certainly memorable.

I mean its all about puberty, right? Adults seem strange when you're going through that phase, sex can seem weird and icky, your body changes, you get attracted to people who have traits you usually wouldn't care for, you parents are embarrassing, your big brother/sibling pulls you about even when he's not there...and Daicon girl. Daicon IV is the best shit ever.

What are you referring to?

FLCL is really rewarding on rewatches, because it's so densely layered with gags. Also, now that you know how it plays out, you have more space to appreciate how it develops its characters. The commentary helps out with that.

yeah, i can only begin to imagine how bad it would have been if they reached that 2 hour stretch goal or whatever is was

A full length movie might have been too much, but I felt like Triceracop suffered from not having a more developed relationship with Kung Fury. I should have been more psyched when he showed up than I was.

Etotama ep.8
This show continues to be fun each week. The "battle" this week was the race, but it was still a lot of fun to follow and of course Nya-tan got herself another seal! They used the CG for the race scenes this time, bit it still looked very good and the show kept it's normal course of humor with the dirty cow chasing after the kitty cat. Good show again and it will be sad when this show is done because it's good for a smile each week.

Yes it's about puberty, but the overall plot and a bunch of shit isn't supposed to really make any sense which kinda fits with that. Even the name Fooly Cooly doesn't actually mean anything

Okay maybe "doesn't make sense" isn't really the right wording but I still think it's intentionally vague on a lot of things, but its been years since I watched it

 

[Mature]

Rapid Rouge - This was good. It almost felt like a visual homage to Nakamura's opening scene in the Escaflowne movie. The CG almost had me bought at parts, but it ultimately didn't feel weighty enough. Still, thought this was better than a lot of the recent Animator Expos.

Yes I agree with the sentiment that puberty can be a bunch of random ass shit that seems incoherent and the show replicates that feeling perfectly, almost like you're overflowing. Good shit, The Pillows rock, never seen the commentary...in fact I don't think I've seen commentary for anything outside of Eva back in the day...which was weird I guess. They sounded really proud about the random sound effects they added to End of Eva...

Gifs would demonstrate this better than I can describe. But some examples:
-When the show becomes a manga for an entire scene
-When the show becomes south park for a scene
-All the weird faces and unnatural movements
