I was hoping it would be a new TV series that would also adapt at least a couple of the "third season" books. Although I guess they'd title it something different if that were the case.

This doesnt exist. It doesnt exist right Zach?
Dont waste your time on the movie Corvy Kun.
Yes. It sucks. Watch ARJUNA INSTEAD.

They need to get rid of most of the crew if they reboot the series.
That was Gundam 00 (yet to watch Unicorn). Im not into gundam action figures and not interested in another pokemon/digimon/medabot kids fighting with toys show, unlike the classics BF looks as exciting as beywheelz...
"Arjuna" and "Chikyuu Shoujo Arjuna" both come before "Crystal".
There was a picture of Saya computer antivirus program posted a long time ago. It was pretty awesome.
And Saya condoms.
Lame poser pretending to be a Gundam fan. Confirmed.
Pfffffffffffffffffffffffffffft
Arjuna is listed as "Earth Maiden Arjuna" on The List, and that is when it will be watched: when I hit the E's.
I don't think I'd trust Saya condoms.
Would you trust her antivirus program?

This video brings back recent memories, and kinda broaden my horizons a bit when it comes to merch.
It'd activate about half way through the deletion of all my files.

Kyousougiga - 2
Okay, I liked this one a lot more than the first episode (although I still haven't watched episode 0). Some backstory for Koto was definitely needed. I'm still not entirely sure what's going on, but I don't think I'm supposed to at this point. I'm not expecting it to ever explain everything, actually, and I'm fine with that.
This also definitely has the best OP and ED of the season.

But this is the best thing about Gon's character. He takes the "shonen protagonist who is so innocent and friendship and super special at everything" trope to its logical conclusion, by being outwardly innocent and childlike but actually borderline inhuman. He's good-hearted, yes, but it's the most chaotic, animalistic kind of good. Most shonen protagonists claim to think friendship and dreams and morals are the most important things in the world, but Gon literally doesn't care about anything else. Very little fazes him, since he assumes the best of everyone and takes everything up to and including death as a matter of course, but if you do manage to make him angry then oh god just run and pray he never finds you.
Looool. Yes it would. but it would be so moe and it would sing happy songs!

YOU'RE NOT TOO OLD FOR THINGS: CLARIFICATION!

You're a hell of a lot better at explaining things than I am, cnet.
I didn't know exactly what I was supposed to say without spoiling anything when I replied to him earlier, but yes, this is essentially it.
I'm still convinced he's gonna drop this series eventually, though. All the things that seem to bother him about the series don't really ever change too much (except the action, which does get better), and the plot never actually resolves in the way that anyone expects it to. I could see that as being extremely frustrating to someone who's just looking for a good but more or less typical shounen action series.
I think he'll probably like Jojo more, since even as weird as the series gets, Araki isn't hellbent on fucking with genre conventions (or at least bringing them to their logical conclusion), like Togashi seems to be.

In my eyes, Ash is at least 13-14.
Don't try and tell me he's not
And 7 is the most likely scenario
Thank you.

Good episode, fairly darkish, especially
. The interaction between Myoue and Koto is pretty sweet, and Koto's talk about A and Un.
WAIT WHAT.
Next episode is a thing. Since it's Episode 5.5, it doesn't count as one of the total 10 episodes, right?

Myoue's attempted suicide
The DNA thing with Myoue and Myoue was weird. Looks like there's more to that role than just a name.
"When we find our mother, I want you to kill me."

Nah, you just need to refine your tastes, cultivate an extremely snarky and bitter persona, and start an anime blog where you eviscerate bad anime.
Anyway, happy birthday.
Doy! I even mentioned Episode 5.5 in the post and still wrote it as 6. >.>

Nice, hope you have an enjoyable bday! Though how can one be too old for anime, as long as one enjoys it wholesomely and goodly then I dont think one can be too old.
But your computer would melt down to this beautiful sound http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIWXiWXjtfo
Happy Birthday
And by the way Happy birthday too!
What did I say about watching the uncensored version!

They're actually releasing that here? What. I guess digital releases really open things up a bit.

Why on earth would you try to save your Newspaper Club by creating a scandal and slandering the superintendant's son? That's just stupid. Also Tamaki is the superintendent's son. And he has no dark side. He's just a harmless idiot. And damn, Kyoya is one sneaky bastard. Anyone who makes a deal with him is of questionable intelligence.

This was the most gruesome episode yet. Going straight into body horror territory.

Oh so we're doing this now.

The argument doesn't even make sense, since the actual animated scenes work pretty much just like any of the other series anyway.
All Gundam shows are equal, some are just more equal than others.
Kyousougiga - Episode 5
That was pretty good. The extra flashback sequence they added this time round contextualizes the story significantly, changing the tone of the character a lot. It does make sense that they needed to do this though, because out of the 3 major characters who are watch over the world, "Myoue" is the most important piece of the puzzle with regards to the creators and their return imo.
And that wraps it up for all the ONA material. They've expanded on everything they can, and reused as much footage as possible. It's likely that the remaining half of the series will mostly or entirely be brand new content. This is where it gets really interesting.

I've got to see this...
Grr... If I didn't have future money tied up in AA5, I'd so get this.
