2007, i think, i guess it started getting big around late 2009 I think, or at least when I started blogging there.
gifs pre this year were decent but got better when the upload limit was increased
Did you lose a bet?

Watch Steins;Gate now. It's in the same series of science visual novels adapted to anime.
Yeah. Steins;Gate is a must. It's so good.

That isn't the theme of the episode.
Instead, Yamazaki stars as co-actor in the next The Dragon's action movie! Pretty amazing by Sunrise.

Clannad
I've never seen so many sakura petals, flocks of birds, split screens, and passing trains. Expected something terrible, got a decent enough film about a guy reminiscing about
. Kinda liked the use of seasons/weather to reflect events as well as the piano version of the Dango theme. I can only assume Dezaki was able to transcend Key, or worse, I like Keyshit.
Sorry, Negator. 00 Gundam movie is clearly worse than this!

tragedy and loss
The fact I teared up a bit at the end doesn't bode well for me!
Also lots of postcards!
Best character.

Clannad seems to be the only KEYshit worth a damn but still Narag, seek help
Can't wait for CR to announce Little Busters.
Lol. What genre is Little Busters?

I need to watch this and the Air movie sometime; I'm curious to see exactly what spin Dezaki put on the material since obviously you'd have to change things up pretty heavily to fit expansive VNs into the length of a movie. I also actually like the Clannad VN for the most part.
The dango song is irresistibly charming.
More like they're finally starting to slow down again after having been boosted into the stratosphere when the anime started airing few months ago. I think this is the first time since then that any of them fell out of the top 30. But yeah, the anime itself will sell truckloads.
I'm more interesting in Tsukimonogatari selling 117,362, seeing as the last novel in the seires, Koimonogatari, sold 140,323 back in December. A small drop.
KEYshit
Oh I had no idea he did the Air movie too. I'll have to check that out.

Regarding Chuunibyou, a lot of people seem to like the scenes where Rikka "opens the door" and such, but it's the scenes like this that make me happy.
The way his shoulders drop just before his head does and his lips press together (as much as they can in anime, anyway) is one of those small things that I really enjoy seeing in animation. They're just small touches, but I personally think they do a really good job of making the scene feel more "human".
Also, everyone seems to be focusing on the craziness of Rikka, but the scene I liked the most was the last one. I really feel like it's the scene that promises the audience that there's a story to tell behind all of the crazy antics. It also made me like Yuuta a lot more, since he kinda reminds me of what I was like when I entered high school (that is, I tried to be overly serious and "mature" and thought that my younger self was really embarrassing).
I'm starting to appreciate what (I think) the story is trying to do a bit more now. Using something humorous like chuunibyou to approach a story about how one becomes comfortable with himself growing up sounds pretty obvious and trivial, but I think the natural contrast gives the story a strong foundation.
Yeah, coming of age stories are pretty played out, especially in anime, but I like them anyway. I personally like how Ishihara directs (I don't know how much of it is Maeda's writing for the Key anime though), so I can't wait to see how the anime will handle the obvious impending romance and the obvious coming of age story.

Wow. This episode was packed with action, humor, and tons of fanservice. The art style is interesting, as the heroes look Lupin-esque while the villains look like they belong in Panty&Stocking. From scene transitions to fight sequences, everything is ridiculously colorful and adds to the upbeat vibe that emanates from the lead Honey.
One is an aloof office girl by day, superhero by night, the other is a gun toting, authority wielding badass 24/7. If there's any justice in this world, something will develop between these two. ;_;

The two heroines and my destined pairing to be.

I'd really like to see Leader Dragon again outside of ed cameos... I guess all parody characters are obligatorily one shots though. I don't think any of them has ever returned after their one time in the spotlight... it doesn't help that he was anime filler. (The original manga chapter ends with the test segment, when he's mentioned all the time, but before he arrives and is revealed to be a member of the Katsura's group) - although I guess the ed cameos mean that at least he wasn't completely forgotten.

This is very hard .. the guy get friendzonned and the girls find themselves after the reset and lives happy afterward ?
2/10 is really harsh .. Especially when you consider what chikane did to save her beloved.
Juuni Kokuki ? Really ? Give me the phone number of that nhk producer , give me more of this animated if possible ;-;

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (2012) ep 1
Some of it feels pretty retro and the setting but I kind of like the visual and style the anime has going on. The way stuff pops out with random symbols when characters are introduced or something, or how water droplets will sort of sparkle, or how other stuff happens when characters receive powerful stunning blows and impacts or just how the backgrounds will change and then characters are bathed in different colors to fit the mood.
Anyway Dio is really amazing and blows JoJo out of the water. I hope he gets significant screentime. Probably my leading reason to just keep watching. I kind of feel bad though considering
. Will keep watching and glad I gave it a shot.

he just treats JoJo so bad, out to steal his inheritance or whatever, ruining his image in front of everyone, being better at just about everything than JoJo, and then even stealing the kiss from the girl, hitting her, and then getting into a fight with him and burning trapping his dog in the trash pile. Poor JoJo. Though I didnt think it made sense for Dio to lose, he was still more powerful so theres no excuse for JoJo to have one, then again I guess if he just felt empowered because of all his losses and the girl, then acceptable.
Actually, this is a show for which you don't require goggles at all.

No announcements yet.
You make it sound like doing so was difficult.
Tragedy porn.
So tragedy then. Right?
I may have been a bit harsh. When my anger fully subsides I'll look over my post and re-adjust my score.
7th. You are my hero.

Asks questions so Ezalc doesn't have to
No, Tragedy Porn. Get it right. ;P
Blue is soooooo awesome.
Romanov is a talented guy.
Pity it was only one episode.
But 70's exploitation + catgirls = a TON of fun.
I can't believe he is watching it just now.
Its hentai in which tragedy is involved.
Little busters is based on a rather violent h-game.
Noted. Tempered expectations can carry me through the worst of things.
I don't think that's exactly what tragedy porn means...
That's very... un KEY anime like.
Don't ruin this.
