Also, newest episode of ANNCast reminded me of that "feminism in anime" episode they did and the horrors associated with it. Not that I don't think Upotte is a show for men who want to "masturbate into a towel" or whatever, but it's hard to take a discussion of feminism seriously when that's the baseline that you're working with.

I don't want to subject myself to anymore ANNCast right now, would you care to explain the brunt of their discussion?

Hahaha. Oh YuruYuri (Episode 5 and END), I like ya's.

 

[Jex]

it helps that it wasn't moving as it looked really out of place in every other shot.

Awful CG trains are runing a number of perfectly good shows. For example, Bacano, Chihayafuru and Aoi Hana. The only exception to that rule is 5 cmp/s, but then again everything in that movie looks amazing.

Man that ending felt like it's from a bad mecha show. Oh and Ichika is way cuter without glasses.

Kaito also seemed to not give a shit about an alien dude beating him.

The secret best pseudo-yuri anime. Also, funny enough, Shaft's secret best yuri anime as well!

Well, I suppose someone has to keep the Shane spirit alive.

 

[SDBurton]

Love how you point out the ending separately. :lol

Wow how did he miss something like that.

I've seen it happen before. Some people just aren't paying attention!

 

[Trojita]

Ignoring how the toilet both does and doesn't line up with the wall at the same time. Notice how in this shot the top of the toilet doesn't line up with the blue lines on the wall:



And yet in this one it does:



Clearly this is the work of a technically advanced shape-shifting toilet. I'd expect nothing less from the glorious nation of Nippon.

Maybe I'm too tired, but what am I look at? The toilet looks like it is facing the other way. The discrepancies seem to be how the toilet stall looks a lot smaller for some reason in the next shot and the draw distance is all fucked up.

Protip for all future anime watching. Imagine everyone is a lesbian. This technique has no downsides.

The best advice anyone could ever give.

There's a pretty good CG train sequence early on in FMA: The Sacred Star of Milos, and even if there are times when it doesn't look perfect it takes advantage of the scope that can be attained using CG pieces in a scene.

 

[Solune]

But then I used my iPod to listen to Eri Kitamura's sexy-as-hell voice and my headache went away.
Yep, I'm lost. ;_;

Fixed. ;P

Kimochi yokatta darou?

I'll be switching back to Ruka in time. Just wanted to show my hype for TTT2.

No the characters are fine, but it's blurry and hurts my eyes ;_;.

"Ever had the feeling your hammer was about to go off?"

The drool thing is still nasty. And no, I still refuse to consider it synonymous to kissing in execution. Might as well lick their lick mark on asphalt.

1) There's a good reason the Upotte!! OT banner links this song...

2) Beyond MAYBE the first drool licking, you're still wrong.

On the ANNCast, they kept talking about how the "clit" was the trigger. Classy!

Oh, and they were also vomiting at that spit swapping anime. lol

They're ANN, what do you expect? They're self-important manchildren who got beat down by the jocks in high school for watching that "gay cartoon shit" and now emulate the same self-important and secure properties to establish their alpha male-ness.

Zero maturity whatsoever.

Phi Brain S2 - 02:

I really like this silly show. It's overly dramatic and crazy, but it's the sort of stupid fun that just hits all the right notes for me.

I really enjoy "Phi brain" it's like "Spiral" without the trainwreck ..just good mind game silly fun

i really can't wait for the Next Anna "Episode".

Only 15 pages left!

Dear God.

Glad I'm not the only one that made the Spiral comparison. Though I imagine no one else has because no one here has seen it.

I agree to some extent, but look at what your defending! Pick your battles wiser, son.

The CG train was decent, I didn't like how many of the bridges were CG though, they made it look a little too artificial.

 

[RurouniZel]

A sexy voice cleared your sinuses?

Maybe I should try the stuff!

Can't say it's proven, this is the first time I've tried it.

Kimochi yokatta darou?

Indeedy!

I should try Spiral again. Only saw a couple episodes years ago.

 

[dimb]

The CG train was decent, I didn't like how many of the bridges were CG though, they made it look a little too artificial.

There's a big unnecessary loop that that track takes that makes it look weird and fake. The CG train and track aren't amazing or anything, but the possibilities that they opened up for the action make them a net gain for the scene in a way that I don't think it could've been done without the use of CG.

There was a CG train in Aoi Hana? I must have erased it from my memory. There was definitely a bad one in Honey & Clover.

Maybe I should read the Apollon manga because I have no idea if the show will be a SoL anime with some Jazz or an anime with real drama.

Moribitio is a great show, some people just don't like it because they have no patience and demand a fight scene in every episode.

People just don't like it because it's boring not due to lacking action or anything..

I think applying an extremely broad rule like 'X is always better than Y' would lead you missing several great works.

I've watched boring shows. I know boring shows. Boring shows are a staple of mine. Seirei no Moribito is not a boring show.

She's nobodies friend.

Black Lagoon 5

Who wants to go on a submarine field trip?

Also this show has a pretty humorous depiction of

Spoiler

Aryan Union soldiers.

Neat facial expression here, a decent degree of "dead inside".

Also, a nice conversation on

Spoiler

money versus sentimental value in the eyes of utility.

Same talk many have heard in this medium with different trappings, it added to the episode though and as I guessed, more past presented sooner than later.

"Idiots playing heroes need some bitter medicine."

A nice double meaning for

Spoiler

Rock and the skinheads.

 

[jman2050]

A childhood promise in motion stays in motion unless acted on by an outside rival romantic force.

For every romantic rival action there is an equal and opposite childhood friend reaction.

But that "rule" fails about half the time. You're really only hurting yourself by doing that.
