Via routine source for KyoAni related news and information ultimatemegax, some images from a new PV (apparently only via a smartphone app in Japan) for the Chuunibyou movie:

Maybe utapri can reach 70k. I think Attack on Titan will not have as much. STARISH ftw.

So glad maou sama is popular...maou/ashiya must be a huge factor

Eh I don't think 70k is out of reach for Shingeki... I wouldn't be surprised if it's numbers reflected something like Macross Frontier and did mid 70's vol 1 and than fall to 50kish after that. Except the Nitro+VN volumes in 3 and 6 will be closer to vol 1 for obvious reasons....

And Uta Pri is going to drop like a rock with the non event ticket chance volumes are released, sales where cut in half for the first series.... dem fujoshi's buying multiple volumes are nuts lol.

Narita seems to be focusing entirely on Baccano and DRR at this point. He basically takes turns writing them. Haha.

You upto date on both? Which one you like better? Any of them approaching end game?
 
RyougaSaotome's life is like 3D anime confirmed.

Or maybe he's a bot.

Hahahaha. I thought we confirmed my life was 3D anime like half a year ago.

Sadly no, but I do know that Durarara is approaching an end game.

Baccano has left of an overall guiding plot, so he has a lot more room to play around in the world, jump to different time periods etc. I personally prefer it over Durarara, but I like them both.

Baccano is just on a different level for me though.

Now that I got all the squees out of my system, I dont much relate to Tomoko on a personal level so not much. Cringing. However this show is very brutal on that poor girl. Damn. She is just way Way too cute.

not much. Cringing.

Are you typing on an iPad? I ask only because lately my iPad keeps trying to insert full stops followed by capital letters in the middle of my sentences just like this. I guess I must be double-tapping the space key by accident or something >.>

Tomoko is an awful, yet pitiable person. There's really nothing all that endearing about her.

I find cuteness in unusual places and situations. Her clumsy angry embarrassing situation is precious imo.

Nope. Samsung galaxy s4 phone. Guess it does same thing.
 
Watching anime in 1080p is a whole other beast then watching it in usual SD. Crunchyroll sure does have everything together. I might have to switch from my Funimation Channel sub to a Crunchyroll sub because that 1080p definition doesn't lie.

Watamole Episode 1: I suppose this was okay, Tomoko is more disturbing then endearing, and after Love Lab I can safety say there is better fare of this nature to watch this season. Overall, maybe I watch all of this after the season is over.

Man, serious business all up in this joint. Changing relationships, childhood trauma, ghosts who might not be ghosts and some god damn excellent direction. Main character is really excellent, in a kind of awkward massive psychological trauma kind of way. Definitely will catch up when I'm in the mood for some serious stuff and I get done with Kids on the Slope.
 
I just woke up

Thank whatever deity that anime fans founded this kick starter so fast

What a good way to wake up....

Now if i wasnt in the middle of the "chantal " tempest with a horri ble weather that could have been a perfect morning

Rurouni Kenshin -Tsuioku Hen- - 03

What the hell that this episode implying to Tomoe in middle of episode?

She masturbating?
I don't remember that shit on manga.. if so why that scene necessary?
 
They skipped :

  • Tsukiyo Kujyo
  • Minami Ikoma
  • Rieko Hinaga
  • Sumire Uemoto
  • Nanaka Haibara
  • Yui Goido
  • Hinoki Kasuga

the bolded above being the characters where the true loss lies , aka the characters that would have helped the plot to be better IMO

so sad mainly because I found the goddess arc and the current one to be super dull. Manga was way more fun doing the whole kissing girls thing vs shounen adventure arc.

It was fun to be part of it. Apparently that little film REALLY resonated because holy shit that got funded so fast.

Well I almost missed the LWA Kickstarter news. Might be tempted to break my no kickstarter policy just to back this.

Woman 1
Aoyagi Koharu falls in love with Shin at a railroad station, and before long they are married and have two wonderful children. But an accident suddenly takes Shin's life away and Koharu is left to fend for and raise their children alone. Increasingly poor and with no one to turn too, Koharu is nevertheless determined to protect her children, whatever obstacles come in her way. Even if those obstacles include a frustrating welfare system and even, seemingly, her own mother who she broke ties with 20 years before…

The feels
All of these feels

Gundam SEED Destiny HD Remaster 14

The episode starts with a recap of the last one which takes up like 3 minutes or something. Stahp, pls.
Overall, this episode was FLASHBACK CENTRAL. Nothing happened before the last 3-4 minutes, they were too busy showing us how the entire relationship developed plus some useless stuff (random footage from the last battles of SEED and whatnot).

The wedding was terrible. Cagalli's makeup was just as bad I remembered. We also get to see Yuna's real colors: he's a fucking wimp and went from a grating creep to being simply terrible, especially when you know the shit he'll pull out in the later episodes as the incompetent commandant of the Orb fleet.
Kira really is such a boss by the way, managing to desarm MS without causing any significant damage to the MSes, the wedding ground, nor injuring anyone!
I hate his guts
. Also, I have to say that in retrospect, the scene where he bids farewell to his mom and promise her to come back is pretty funny, since we now know he'll end up
too busy being Lacus's Darth Vader on PLANT post-series
.

... Now that I think about it, SRW UX missed a big opportunity by not treating the new positions of the characters at all. We're only said know that Shinn and Luna
somehow work for Orb (how does that happen?)
and that Lacus is indeed the
Chairwoman of the PLANT High Council.
Athrun is back to being Cagalli's bodyguard and Kira's situation isn't touched upon at all IIRC. I suppose Banpresto wasn't allowed to mess to much with the characters and that's too bad.

The opening switched to OP2, which is PRIDE from High and Mighty Color. I really liked this opening so I'm glad it's intact. There were very minor differences from what I could remember of the original. I only noticed a weird pack on the Strike Rouge, and for some reason they put some smirk on Meer on the frame she appears among Athrun's harem lol
The ED is the same one I love, except the song has been remixed a bit. It was a bit inferior IMO, but not a very noticeable change to be honest.

Next episode is the one where Athrun goes to Orb with his shining new ZAFT Mobile Suit, somehow not knowing Orb signed a treaty with the Atlantic Alliance. The people in this series are fucking braindead.

Yep, this series is pretty bad.

----

On another note, the commercial break after the episode had an ad for the new Gintama movie. Gintoki was saying "If you go see this movie, the wind won't rise but your boner sure will" lolol

Also, they're making a new Code Geass blu-ray box with 5.1 audio? Way to rip-off people.
