I honestly enjoy the fuckkery of shippin wars way too much, them and the Shinn vs Kira war back when Destiny aired were just too fun. It does add a fondness to the anime in question, well as long as you were on the right side I suppose.

I regret being absent from anime when KGNE aired though :(

I recall KGNE being very popular. Also I recall actually seeing the show and thinking otherwise.

Today my heart grew three sizes today. Truly the greatest love story ever told.

An enlarged heart is a pretty significant health issue. Might want to get that checked out.

30 years ago, these disasters called spacequakes wiped out alot of people, now in the present these spacequakes have been getting more frequent and the reason for these phenomenons are... girls. There are two ways to stop the spacequakes, kill them with Hyperdimension Neptunia style armour... or date them and make them fall in love with you.

This episode I counted a twin tailed imouto that flips between super bitch and nice, a teacher, a :DTL
with a 2D girlfriend...
an emotionless girl, a masochist, a disheveled nurse am I missing something?

I love you Japan.

Oh shit, Date A Live's begun. Now I either have to tread carefully in this thread or start watching it.

Nice to see some love for Suite. I have to say it is musically compelling and I will likely enjoy it a lot.
Gushing aside, it had its share of flaws, but I was generally able to overlook them because of the kind of show it was. I'm expecting Heartcatch (and possibly Smile) to be even better.

In case someone missed it; the latest trailer for the upcoming STEINS;GATE film, this time subtitled in English with translation provided by none other than Reading Steiner:

That precisely you, gentlemanly and sage Extollere, are saying this makes me think that either you are pulling my leg... or this is the best compliment someone can make to me on this matters! :'-)

And even if it is about "embarrassing" smut, I won't neglect I'm proud you are saying this to me!

Fucking. Hyped.

It's the second coming of SAO that isn't really SAO.

So are the other three Young Animator episodes worth checking out?

Haven't really commented on LWA in this thread because there's only so many ways you can say "This was amazing".

Death Billiards is excellent. Arve Rezzle is "modern anime" in 25 minutes (and not a very good version of it). I haven't seen Ryo, but all signs point to badness.

Gonzo's Ryo was pretty :Gonzo. (and shit) Madhouse's Death Billiards is meant to be good but I haven't seen it. As for the last one it's meant to be pretty meh too.

I'd be pretty surprised if Attack on Titan isn't announced for Crunchyroll in the next few days.

I dunno. Seems like the kind of thing on of the US licensors would be jumping on post-haste - if Sentai get it, sure, it'll be on Crunchy, but I'm reckoning that Funimation handling it is way more likely.

That could happen too... either way, I expect a western simulcast will be announced soon.

Yeah, more than likely we'll hear one way or the other by the end of the week, but who grabs it makes a pretty significant difference to those of us outside of the US when it comes to streaming cartoon availability.

On an unrelated note, I just saw the BD/DVD cover-art they're using for NeraGaku in Japan...


There's almost as much lens-flare on there as in the average shot in the actual movie!
 
Looks like we finally have the first look at villains in Gargantia. Probably the early villains in the first few episodes of the show. The Lobster pirates led by the female leader Rakeeji (Wreckage?):

Her female slaves:

Their ships:

Their mechs:

Those slave girls look only slightly less dressed than the main cast of female characters.

The fate of my Crunchyroll sub rests solely on whether or not they pick up Yuyushiki.

I'm probably serious here.
They were selling year long subs for $50 or something in December. Why are you paying month to month?

Wow, those are pretty silly designs all around,. At least the slaves are normal, if not a bit underdressed lol.

I'm really excited for this. Do we know when the BD/DVD is coming out?

The 5th of June, though despite being an Aniplex release of a Sunrise production of something that's been subtitled for overseas screenings (three frequently sure-fire check boxes!), it doesn't look like they're sticking English subtitles on the Japanese disks of it.

Sorry to keep bothering but you wouldn't happen to have reviews or what others thought of the movie do you? Jw.

Gargantia still has the best character designs our of the 3 summer season mecha shows.

Probably because it's not really a mech show! I think people really need to watch it to understand that it's not a "mecha show" but a "show with some mecha in it". The way the weapon system is designed on Chamber makes it improbable that there will ever be any interesting "mecha action". I expect most of the actual action in the show to be character based.

Murata also has a hard-on for strange scifi wing devices. He used a lot of those in FMA Milos, and its back in Gargantia too. The delivery girls use these DaVinci fliers to get around between ships, and the pirates also use this hilarious cable+wingsuit+propeller thing to attack ships. Reminded me A LOT of the Milos scenes with the rebels. Lol.

Those were the best part of the OP.
