Australians sure are getting a lot of titles that are not licensed in R1 territory yet.

You licked it, didn't you?
Of course. Pretty much anything with Blu Ray capability gets Blu Ray releases. (MLP excepted)
Is there something about the scene that made you pick
Jaguar D. Saul's
That seems right up my alley. I will have to check it out soon.

I ask because when OreImo was released in the US, it was DVD only.

Naw, it's just one of my favorites.
Unless you can find a possible connection through that symbolic seeing glass of yours!

I think it's okay to just call it an awful mess - knowing more about the source material wouldn't fix the nonsensical story or insane editing.
I'll tell you when the next sales manual drops.
Yami to tribal warrior eldritch abominations and Quile 05
Ok, so the vampire story isn't working. I know, let's SCRAP IT COMPLETELY.
Now its time for some tribal warrior fun!
Pleased to meet you! My name is Quile.
Do you know what my name is? Its Quile.
Oh look I''m a tribal warrior. My name is Quile.
Why do I know Japanese? BECAUSE MY NAME IS QUILE. And God told me how to do it.
Did I mention my name is Quile?
Oh theyre gonna offer me as a sacrifice. I guess cause my name is Quile.
Oh its an Eldritch tiger! There's Lillith! Its her fault I think. She knows magic!
MY FUCKING NAME IS QUILE!!!!!
The tiger is a bat!
Fuck my life.

Once again, you're really engaging in a pretty dangerous exercise - attempting to work out what's going on when the only thing that viewers are looking for is:
You really need to understand that this is the material that we're talking about here.

You know, after you watch this arc, you then need to watch the live action movie!
Best part about Penguin drum unlike LOST is you can't use the "but but it was all about the characters" excuse. Because MPD didn't even try to have any form of characterization.
It's very much like Utena in a way, in that it's absolutely brilliant at capturing mood in it's individual sequences, unfortunately unlike Utena it didn't really have the characterization and conciseness to back it up, but I'm like BluWacky and very much loved the hell out of the show, despite it's issues.
In general Fate/Zero is pretty great with its utilization of cg. They do an impressive job with not only the quality of cg, but how they blend it with the hand drawn visuals.

People who wear contacts are just trying to blend in, pretending to be like everyone else. They're the most dangerous.

So like
This show is so vague and dumb and not really clever or well directed enough to compensate and the previous episode had a CG car that looked like it came out of a videogame, why am I watching this? This is a bad show with some good episodes. Keyword being some, definitely not enough to make up for the sea of doodoo.

did that dad guy make her a penis or rape her with chisels or I don't know

Lovely Complex 24 [FINAL]
I was planning on completing this show yesterday but some things came up that prevented me from doing so. The concept behind the story is solid. I never thought there would be a romance anime dealing with a height complex, especially one where the female lead is taller than the male lead. It's something I can appreciate though, as I always wanted a pairing where a girl was obviously bigger than her boyfriend. And major props for giving the cast different outfits for every episode, it made them look like real people.
Koizumi was great. I love her energy and the ridiculous faces she'd make when dealing with Otani's blow ups, not to mention she could give reality checks when people needed them.
The supporting cast was kind of weak. Nobu for the most part stole the spotlight from everyone else besides the leads (considering she was the mastermind for most of the love schemes in the series). Beyond that, we don't even get a real good look at Koizumi and Otani's friends until the last few episodes of the series.
Near the end though things felt a bit rushed and forced, likeresolving the issues revolving around Chiharu and Suzuki that only took 10 mins before everything was fine again. It's like they wanted to show that even the supporting characters had their share of problems, yet imo only managed to do that with Nobu and Nakao. Chiharu and Suzuki's "arc" if you even want to call it that just felt weird.
That aside it truly was a fun show and would recommend it for those who haven't seen it yet.
So it's a good watch? How did you think it was in comparison to other works like Kimi ni Todoke? Better, worse or can't really compare?
and watch Kare Kano
Kuwabara THE MAN indeed. Brofist.
lolololol. Galactic Bishounen, Oreimo and Kawamori shit. Great pickups, Madman.
Why won't you release Nichijou? ;_;

They're clearly a superior people with a refined taste.

Why are there any scenes that aren't that, then? The plot is a subatomically-thin vehicle for yuri scenes, so why wasn't it just done away with entirely? I could more than handle 22 minutes of Lilith and Hazuki feeling each other up, but this is testing the limits of my sanity.
Kannazuki no Miko is a similar kind of thing.
By the end of episode one you are well aware that they give absolutely fuck-all care about a plot.

What, in particular, do you dislike about the K-On character designs?

Mai Ritoru Poni: Yuujou wa Mahou 23
Awesome episode thanks to the powers of Rainbow Dash and the awesomeness that is the Cutie Mark Crusade. Scootaloo has been crushing her hard for her idol Rainbow Dash, it’s adorable.
It was cool to learn the origins of all the ponies, well almost. I really enjoyed Applejack and Twilight’s stories.
Applejack going to
Of course that wasn’t for Applejack. And Twilight
Fluttershy and Rarity were dull as expected and Rainbow Dash was a boss even as a filly. Fluttershy was really ugly as a filly, she was really think and lanky and pretty odd looking.Loli Filly Applejack and Twilight were so cute.
But was Pinkie Pie’s story true or not? The fact she was so quick to dismiss it as “made up” makes me think it is actually true. And thats sad a childhood if it is and would explain her partying habits
Mai Ritoru Poni: Yuujou wa Mahou 24
This episode was a hoot. Well not really, it was totally average especially compared to the last episode which was fantastic.
Episode showcased the full range of emotions of Spike from happiness to pure saltiness. Spike isn’t exactly the most cunning dragon either, that was the weakest set up attempt I have ever seen. But that Owl is a total jerk who deserved it. I hope he never shows up again.
One of the things that really struck me about this episode was how it focused on the concept of death. Everypony in the show has been in mortal danger at some point throughout the series but it was that pretty innocuous moment involving the setup
where you realize things actually do indeed actually die for real in Equestria. And it’s not all magical and fantasy either.

manehattan was hilarious and fitting. The country gal wanted to live the city life in the Big Apple I loved the pony rendition of the Statue of Liberty.
struggling to harness her mutant powers magic abilities was pretty swell too, providing some much needed backstory between Trollestia and Twilight.

Smile Precure 11
Might be one of my favorite episodes of Precure. Sure the plot is not totally unique, but its handled in a pretty hilarious way. There's some shades of Arjuna in there as well, and it tops off with what I think is the best battle thus far for the show. Some solid sakuga in there.

That's a really good question, isn't it? Why didn't they just make a hentai? Why is there so much nonsensical plot?
The answer is always: because it's Yami.

Yami and the little island of lolis and tigers 06
The tribal thing was too passe so its time for an island episode.
Ok so there's al oli and her tiger. This looks unsafe.
But it's ok because

To be fair, they were assholes.
Hazuki offers to make pancakes. YUM.
So they all go inside have a yuri good time. Wait? what?
Apparently Seiren from the Vampire arc was in this episode and she was upset because she couldn't partake in the happy yuriness. Because her dress was stuck on nothing and it prevented all forward movement. fuck I hate it when that happens.
Also, Periperi. what is periperi? Who fucking knows.
And then cliffhanger. amazing. Im amazed. what was that tribal girl's name again? totally didn't catch it.

I agree with you in all the points you mentioned, but you've already come this far.
Hold on a little longer for the great final 5 episodes.
I'll be sure to!
If you have the free time, I'd say check it out. Even though I wanted to tear my hair out during the 2nd season of Kimi ni Todoke I wouldn't say Lovely Complex is better. The supporting cast for Kimi ni Todoke beats the piss out of LoveCom, and does a hell of a better job of giving them personal arcs of actual worth.
LoveCom will bring you laughs though, so if you're looking for that then you're good to go. I'll be sure to check out Kare Kano, thanks again for the suggestion.
Maria-sama ga Miteru 03
Rosa Gigantea you are the best onee-san!
Got excited with Sachiko looked pissed when she walked in on the two of them. I thought she was going to snatch Yumi out her arms and say something possessive. And what's up that Suguru guy? Dude is shady, and I want him gone! Don't lose to him Yumi!

First episode of Sakamichi no Apollon was great. I'm excited to see where it will go.
I agree with Pizzaroll, that looks a lot better than the usual Haruhi.
bugs can be very cute.
Like that little moe-cockroach. [redacted]
That needs to be an anime.
Please tell me you're not talking about S1 Haruhi which is infinitely superior.

I think I will stay with the Haruhi Suzumiya from the novels. Original hand-drawings are far superior.
S1 Haruhi is super ugly. Sorry man.

Why is Yui in Haruhi?
Yami to finally an episode that makes a little sense 07
First off, Before I head off to work, I'll leave you with a screencap that perfectly explains how this show is written:
So basically when the show wants to move on, it literally just drops characters on a whim. amazing stuff.
They did explain what the fuck periperi is kind of
The rest of the episode actually makes a frightening amount of sense, and if it was all like this, it would be extremely decent.
It involves a glimpse into Hazuki and Hatsumi's relationship with each other and why Hazuki cares so much for her. It's actually not a bad episode overall.

That looks a thousand times better than the normal Haruhi does.
