Welcome!
But the actual speech had nothing to do with being sent to hell; the animation and voice acting was emotional, but the contents of the speech felt preachy and not particularly authentic.

Iron Man - Rise of Technovore
Wow. This sure was something. Anyone familiar with Hiroshi Hamazaki's prior work will find elements of all his previous stuff here, probably in a bad way. There are the fast cuts and close ups which made stuff in Shigurui really hard to make out. There is the totally self indulgent pretentiousness of Texhnolyze's narrative and the strange and unsuited desire for character monologues which have no real meaning. And then there's the over-saturated and glaring art finishing which characterizes Steins;Gate, where everything looks a little too bright and pale so you can't make out nice details even if they are drawn.
If that sounds bad, it's probably still not possible to imagine the actual scope of how WTF the movie is. As a big Marvel fan, it was great seeing all the cameos and various elements in the universe used throughout the movie, but at the same time it was a huge confusing mess with really spotty storytelling tied together by a pseudo-philosophical garbage villain motive which only bad Japanese writers seem to be able to come up with.
Was there good animation? Yeah, lots of it littered throughout the movie here and there, and a pretty impressive action finale too. But even then everything felt like a sum of individual parts instead of one cohesive whole. There isn't a very strong vision for how the movie should look and feel, so everything ends up being rather disjointed. Like someone stitched a bunch of scenes together. I felt the layouts and a lot of the backgrounds were pretty bad too.
Hard to recommend this to anyone other than the most hardcore Marvel fans who have tried out every single one of the Marvel anime shows. If you're that insane, that this should be right up your alley! Fuck yeah!

This is more entertaining than actually watching the show.
Is this Ano Hana crying dude?

Thanks for this post, I was wondering how this was.
So, it's pretty bad, even for an Iron Man fan?
Yes, he became a meme in 2ch. I'm pretty sure they will also be talking about this video.
Did you like the Iron Man anime series? This movie has better animation, but I think the series had a way better story. Lol. Can't believe they fucked up a Technovore story this bad. How hard can it be?!
Aku no Hana? They described it as "perfect rape".
It seems like almost every sentence has the word "what" in it.

I actually never watched the anime.
I'm still kind of getting into the format.
And it shouldn't be hard at all. lol
This is pretty entertaining!
No dissing Arata, he's got his hands full with the Queen.
I liked this episode myself, though was surprised the match will go into a third episode. I liked being inside the heads of the players this much.

I'm not sure why I didn't watch this while it was airing, it seems like wholesome entertainment! Those songs were pretty decent and catchy, though the CG during the performances will take some getting used to.

go back in history and see how rotoscoping was done. they needed a much bigger team and they just didn't have it. I can understand why they did it - but you need a much longer time and bigger budget for this.
I disagree, particularly about the character designs.
I found them to be pretty distinctive.
the show was generally very pleasing to look at.
Gundam 00 S2 23
You know what? SEED Destiny and Wing are called many things by MANY people, but they BOTH have this over this piece of FILTH that dares call itself a Gundam show: Nobody ever needed to make the villain have multiple bodies. I mean REALLY. Like, way to leave that open for fan fiction forever after. OH NO THE RIBBONS YOU KILLED WAS JUST ANOTHER COLON!!! THE REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEL RIBBONS HALLMARK LIVED ON!
Can you imagine what a huge ass waste it would've been if another Master Asia had just STROLLED ON OUT? Or if Rau had just had a spare? Or if as soon as Ghiren was dead another Ghiren Zabi just jumped right out and was like, "NGATCHA!!!"
It's so freaking cheap. Ribbons Hallmark is an androgynous loser, he isn't a Mega Man boss. He doesn't need FOUR FORMS or whatever.
UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGH. And this is just the first five seconds of the episode.
Gundam 00 is a treasure if by treasure I meant nuclear waste that nobody ever wanted.
OH HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELL NO.
How. HOW. HOW DID AEOLIA PREDICT ALIENS 200 YEARS IN THE PAST? Let's not even talk about how ridiculously impossibly complicated his plan was, and how full of things that have NOTHING to do with ANYTHING, and how his plan to "save" humanity involved needlessly slaughtering thousands of them and utterly ruining the state of world affairs. NEVERMIND THAT HE HAS LEFT HUMANITY LESS PREPARED NOW THAN EVER BEFORE BY MANDATING A WAR THAT HAS CONSUMED RESOURCES, LIVES, AND RUINED TERRITORIES.
Just tell me how the fuck some man 200 years ago predicted GODDAMN ALIENS.
What's that? No fucking explanation? Because this show is fucking bullshit and the writers make this shit up as they go and don't remember things from one episode to the next?
Oh, okay then.

Is it as good as iM@S?

Solid all around. Yuuichi Nakamura did a great job in the central role.

The purgatory-like setting was easy to see coming a mile away, but I liked the twists in the story.
That conversation between the bartender and the hostess at the end was so directed at the audience.

The quality of the first episodes are about the same, except in Love Live only a few of the group have been introduced so far.

[Chihayafuru 2] 13
Both Chihaya and Megumu really suck as leaders. This match would be a lot more enjoyable if they focused on the other bozos in the Mizusawa team. Also, lots of reused stills of the audience watching the game. Madhouse is starting to look bad in this episode. :/
I need to watch more iM@S to really judge, but I liked the slower introduction Love Live has instead of iM@S just dumping wave after wave of characters on you.
Also Producer-san is a wholly unnecessary concept
Its not really a bad show.
Some questionable artistic choices but the episode was pretty interesting.
Neither; they're those things worn over underwear when playing tennis in tennis skirts and expected to be visible.
Does the show have any real panty shots?
you mean bloomers/burumas?
Yup, you pretty much summed up 00.
Heartcatch Precure 1
So Tsubomi has moved to a new town, and she doesn't want to be as shy and introverted anymore. But she meets Erika, who's rude as hell but also nice and wants to be Tsubomi's friend and wants her to join the Fashion Club. But Tsubomi doesn't know how to deal with her. Well she better learn how, cause it turns out they live next to each other. And Tsubomi is Cure Blossom. And Erika will be a Precure too.
Glad that this show doesn't have the audio quality of a bootlegged Frank Sinatra record, though that might have been Crunchyroll's fault. Also looks much better too.
What's with the CG ED?

This isn't rotoscoping, this is running frames through photoshop filters.
Fucking lazy ass bitches.

DEVIL SURVIVOR 2 THE ANIMATION Episode 1 Melancholy Sunday
Easily the best or to me the most memorable moment of the episode. Started off really good with the fun times with Daichi and Hibiki. I instantly grew attached to Daichi, which was, at times a pretty terrible decision. Almost just stopped the episode even 18 minutes in. I didnt know this series was that dire of sorts and just full of
The ED felt kind of lazy though I did like seeing him in it which I hope he shows up sooner rather than later. And the one that says "O sparkling/shining one" must get way more screentime. So good.
Visuals are really good, music could be improved. Its just not as good as other music in anime. The OP song is catchy but I dont think it is something Id see myself wanting to listen to beyond the duration of the episode.
I think the plot, the mystery, combined with character interactions and the demons, are really working well in making me want to actually play the game...3ds version in america, when?

rampant deaths at every corner, what even Nicaea?!. If Daichi dies, I thinkd I drop this anime straightway, I just cant imagine him gone and he's really good and so far has the best of the demons of sorts, plus Hibiki would no doubt collapse or something if his Daichi dies.

Out of morbid curiosity, I wanted to see if this was as bad as everyone has said.
It was.

Chihaya is not the leader of her team, just the strongest player. Megumu had the role thrust upon her.

was too busy talking about SEED and destiny and how awful every character were or were not in irc, so I wasn't really paying attention.
Is it pretty much macross frontier with gundam SEED faces?

Nishida's opponent seems like she's more of the team's Taichi, anyway. She just hasn't really been assertive enough prior to this episode, so the team hasn't really had any leadership or any real direction aside from 'help Megumu'.
My Youth Romantic Comedy is Wrong as I Expected Episode 01
About as boring as I expected. Some -monogatari-esque banter where the lead girl verbally abuses the main character for most of the episode yet is nowhere near as entertaining. I don't really see the hook here as it just feels like some Haganai/Oreshura type thing but really nothing that gives it its own personality. Miiiiiiiiiiight give it another episode but probably not.
Hataraku Maou-sama! Episode 01
Ewwwwww nano.RIPE for the ED? How unfortunate.
I think I preferred Saint Onii-san's variation of a fish out of water in modern day Japan scenario. Pretty good episode though I didn't really get as much laughs as I was expecting. The intro battle sequence was pretty awesome however I highly doubt there's gonna be anymore of that happening for the rest of the show. I'll be sticking around for the time being since I think the absurdity of the plot warrants giving this show a chance.

Erika's not rude, she's just a little in your face!
All Precure shows starting from Fresh have a CG ed. I think Umakoshi's designs in Heartcatch make the show's endings more palatable.
The screenshot you used looks pretty cool.
I am glad my first Gundam was Wing. That way if I have to defend a bad series, at least it was a bad series without characters named REVIVE REVIVAL.
I dunno, her behavior when Tsubomi was introducing herself to the class and just trading food without permission was pretty rude. I mean, she means well and just wants to be friends, but still. Reminds me of my mom's dog.
