what. the. fuck.

Garzey's Wing is the greatest show in the universe. you sir should be banished from this thread for that.

Granted, Garzey is a case where either a 10 or a 1 is acceptable. I have a space at the bottom of my list for things that defy scoring:

I wish there were an easier way to add older anime in MAL. Like maybe a way to display anime by years or seasons in a simple list so I can add stuff I've forgotten about.

Using Advanced Search you can generate a list of anime that began airing between two specific dates. Basically, all you need to do is to select your start and end dates and select "start date" as the only filtering column.

For me, a perfect ten means I enjoyed the series to the fullest extent that I possibly could. Yami is actually a horribly produced show with awful writing. but it is so incredibly awful that it is really REALLY fun to watch, so I gave it a 10.
In other cases, Fate Zero and Puella Magi Madoka Magica are well deserving of tens on their own merits, but I also happened to highly enjoy them as well.
Haibane Renmei is a show I consider to be actually perfect as well as the movie Millennium Actress.

This pretty much matches my justification for giving 10's. I also consider the show's emotional impact on me as well. 10 to me doesn't necessarily mean perfect.

Right Stuf has Haibane Renmei dirt cheap right now, so I think I'll pick it up :).

Also, happy belated birthday hosannainexcelsis and icarus!

A brand new Chuunibyo Demo Koi ga Shitai video, "Lite Episode 1":

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QK_aZiizefg

This seems to be a mini-story that won't be part of the TV series. Look's like they'll be showing a new one via YouTube every week for an unknown length of time, taking down the previous week's each time a new video gets posted.

Slightly disappointed with Kyoani. Where mah background scenery porn?

Edit
Oh that explains why she can slide around in the previews. She's wearing Heelys.

It would seem Shiawasette Naani is too secular for your special list!

You noticed that but missed the absence Hermes: Winds of Love?

Naani has a couple of things going against it:

a.) I only understood about 20% of the dialogue
b.) it's too short to go too far off of the deep end.


Who hasn't wanted to be wrapped in his soft, wild, masculine embrace?

Best thing about this is the ridiculous FUCK YEAH I HAVE MY OWN BODY PILLOW expression on his face.

That music was terribly mediocre.

Of course, I am still watching the series.
According to MAL, Nijine is in charge of the music for Chu2koi (I guess I'll get used to using this now). The only things I've seen that Nijine has worked on are BakaTest and Mashiro-iro Symphony. I don't remember the music for BakaTest being anything remarkable. As for Mashiro, I personally liked its music even though it was pretty standard for Manglobe projects and only a little above the standard of regular VN adaptations.

I don't know of any of Nijine's projects where the music has stood out. I'm just expecting tracks that will work for each scene, but nothing too amazing. I hope that Nijine proves me wrong though.

Sket Dance 77 (end)
And though Crunchyroll didn't show it, passing the torch back to Jump's other flagship comedy series:
Dat bump.

You know, if they're doing Gintama "reruns", I'm surprised they didn't just do 1 cour seasons of each show and have Sket Dance and Gintama just trade off every season. Unless they're out of Sket Dance material to animate. lol

Anyone know if there's enough Bleach for another season yet? I actually read the last month's worth of chapters thanks to getting spoiled on
Yamamoto's Bankai HOOOOOOOLYYYYYYYY SKDHGKDSHOGOFHGFI
lurking ManGAF and based on that alone, I'm actually kind of excited to see the new stuff eventually get animated.

Theres only 20 chapters to animate, so, no, not really enough.

Do you remember promising animator Hiroyasu Isida (Tete), responsible of animation shorts like Fumiko's Confession & rain town? Well, today in Japan (September, 28) is going to be released a book with the making-off from said Fumiko's Confession short plus a DVD including this work (http://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/4990665503/), but the most interesting thing of all is that it is said Mr. Isida is now working on a new place called Studio Colorido (スタジオコロリド). It was formed at the end of this past year, and promises to be an ideal place for those creators that want to work in the Japanese animation industry without suffering the baggage other studios created in regards to asphyxiating and impoverishing working conditions, disassociating themselves from such job culture:

I know anyone can say things like this, and its not the first one to try... but this seems like a cool studio already helping him publish this!

After Tales of the Abyss, I'm kinda disillusioned about the idea of an interesting Tales of anime adaptation.

Well, if an anime is created before the game is localized, I'll probably avoid it so I can play the game blind.

I've noticed that the Tales OP in Xillia and Xillia 2 by ufotable is drastically different from what we've seen with ToS and TotA. The latter has really washed out colors and isn't as vibrant as the former. We'll see what styles they use.

I could be mistaken. Just saying it's a rumor. It'd be nice if it came back again.

Well, the final chapter (finally!) of the final arc in the Tales of Symphonia OVA series (fucking long!!) is done I believe, and will be coming out soon. So there's definitely a Tales OVA team in Ufotable which is suddenly free to do... something else now.

Honestly, the colors are so bland in the Tales animation, I don't know if I even want it...

The problem for me isn't the artstyle. ToX's OP is really great relative to the other games' OPs. I have no doubt that ufotable can deliver visually. My problem with TotA was that the Tales of games generally provide a poor plot structure for anime, in my opinion. I don't know, maybe Sunrise didn't handle TotA as well as they could have. I just think that there are too many RPG-ish elements, like travelling back and forth and dungeons for the sake of dungeons, that don't translate well to anime.

Let me simplify that for you: Tales games all have SHIT stories. :)

That's cool. Kinda sucks that just not being a shitty place to work is held to be a goal, but an improvement is always nice.
