It's probably not a great idea because about 70% of it is references and injokes to stuff never officially released in English.
It's some dumb thing pizzaroll came up with because he has the process backwards. Watching is not active participation, while playing or writing are.
Stop quoting Hitokage. It defeats the ignore function.
I know it doesn't work on mods
I'm going to bedsleep.

But, Sentai's entire business model seems to be throwing money at EVERYTHING regardless if they have money or not.
More like it keeps me from corruption.
Does it... matter? ???
Nice! Really looking for it.
Oh, speaking of staff-whoring - I guess I should ask since I do this every season. Are there any shows this season that are:
1) directed by SatoJun
2) written by Yoshida
3) starring Kobayashi (where is Ginga? Dead?)
No SatoJun this season.
Yoshida is writing Girls und Panzer, Bakuman 3, and the new Seitokai no Ichizon anime.
I dunno about seiyuu shit, sorry.
I think cosmic or dresden. They might be waiting for more announcements this Sunday first.
I came up with it to streamline anime criticism.
Agreed. I feel that way about the whole show, actually. On paper it's rather mundane, but KyoAni pulls it off pretty spectacularly.

I was going to, but then I realized I'd rather make the JoJo OT.
Is that the.... one ring?
And I edited that post to correct a typo I saw and now it looks that I could have copied you! Are we even?
But...

Put it on and find out.
Both?
RingLord does have great moviewatch.
No. I'm afraid.
Is there any point in a OT for the Nintendo vs Sega Happy Fun Time Show or was the surprise already ruined?
You've watch the previous two showings right?
I assume moviewatch is just as stupid as animewatch...

Even if you turn invisible when you put it on, you'll still have more presence than Akarin. :3
You can make more than one you know.
Don't tell people that. It's a secret.
What about 'moviegoing'? It is not an action as passive as you have to go to the cinema first...

Hey, don't want to be a thread hog. 1 per season is usually my maximum.
I can read Elvish. Who knew.

Paranoia Agent 12
I have an issue putting this episode in words. On one hand, I still enjoy the direction as I usually do. However, the narrative's bond on me is weakening. Shounen Bat is not much of a mystery anymore, aside from

The camerawork and editing still work effectively for the events that Paranoia Agent shares. Example A being

.
However, I find a gap where powerfully executed character insight used to be. The series is close to closing its curtains and the focus is understandable, but mildly vague. This leaves me pondering on the quality and direction of the finale. This episode didn't pull me as previous ones have (in fact, that could be said about a couple of these latter episodes), but I'm still interested in where it will lead.
Here's to anticipating a grand ending to this story created of smaller stories.
I guess this is a warm-up for Chuunibyou demo Koi ga Shitai!

The essence of cajunator got into my Paranoia Agent...or maybe it has always been there. Hmmm

it's over ;-;
Yurimates was a good show.
If you hate the series anyway, and think all the characters are garbage, and you're watching just to hate on it, then there's no reason to be mad about the episode. Some people are actually invested in the characters and story they were telling, and clearly they have no intention of actually delivering on anything they were building up.
Pretty much how I feel.
The story and characters had long been garbage. Truth had never been a good villain and Naru had never been a good character either. We've already known the show was more interested in doing twists rather than an actual cohesive story. It's not like the show took a nosedive out of nowhere. I mean last episode they gave important character information in a bullshit exposition dump. Look at how Elena's plotline as a whole has been treated, of course the show isn't interested in paying things off. The producers/director/script-writers have been smacking the audience in the face with a steak and have no intention of letting them eat the steak.
It is good to know that Otaking, from GAiNAX.FR, conducted a juicy interview with Shigeto Koyama at this recently passed Paris Manga & Sci-Fi Show event, to be published soon. Not as good omen is the related information he has been dropping in the meantime, and that is Evangelion: 3.0 isn't finished yet and still has some aspects to be reworked on, at only one month-and-a-half until its premiere! Confirmed by Mr. Koyama itself (that comment can be read here http://www.gainax.fr/forum/viewtopic.php?p=41336#p41336).
I don't think it is specially worrying without a clarification on what exactly hasn't been yet completed, but I'm curious to see more information on that now (if there is more from his sources), that much is clear... nice trick selling it, man!

If all you're interested is in going "haha I told all you suckers so, this show sucks, if you listened to me you wouldn't care either!" then whatever I don't care. It's clear you're not interested in really discussing something but just going "I could see it a mile away, suck it!"
I'm really not. I'm apathetic to the whole thing. This was probably my 2nd most hyped show going into this year and I've come to hate it. I honestly thought there were enough warning flags to advise people. In fact you even posted about stuff like that after either episode 16 or 17. I'm sorry that the show has become this painful for you, seriously.

Eureka Seven AO 22
Ah episode 22 delivered something that I wanted for so long!
. I enjoyed how it played out and was so flashy. Could have been longer but I guess they'll save that for the conclusion late autumn or whatever. Anyway I hope my ending scenario plays out
. Truth is really cool and at the end of the day, just needs a good hug .
Ao is just so funny and just so unawares that whole scene with Naru still makes me chuckle
.
Ah and the credit stuff...

Ao v Truth, finally
Since Ao is kind of like Truth with being human and scrub coralish etc, I hope they fight then reach an understanding and then unite under some same goal for teamwork, would be nice
. Ao is just so funny and just so unawares that whole scene with Naru still makes me chuckle
when he was like talking about the ear plugs thing and was like Truth is into that, wow and then gave her older sister status, so good for me.

Eureka Seven AO 22
This, I feel, was one of the better episodes of the series so far. The action was more impressive than usual, and the brisk pacing allowed this to be a largely entertaining episode. That being said, the characterization remains incredibly inconsistent, the narrative is convoluted as hell, and Truth is still a terrible "villain". So this certainly wasn't great.
The ending, due to
, was suitably amazing and thoroughly satisfying.
The rest of the episode was wholly mediocre, but somewhat enjoyable nonetheless. I don't quite understand which aspect of this episode caused so much vitriol by several posters here, since the flaws throughout were just more of the same, really. I do, however, think that the direction this is taking within
inevitably lends itself to a rushed, unsatisfying, inconclusive ending. For this series in general to have been considerably better, AO should have
. Instead, we're left with characters who never seem to have any motivation or urgency whatsoever and a narrative that loses focus constantly, meandering between several story and character threads, without ever truly elaborating on any particular one.
This has ultimately diminished into something substantially worse than the original E7, which is my favorite anime ever, and, although, in it's entirety, E7AO has been immensely disappointing and exceptionally unnecessary, I'm hoping for a semblance of a satisfying conclusion. The majority of the AO characters are, unfortunately, rather bad though, so I'm just hoping there's a good ending for

was needlessly discarded in order to set up this waste of a show.

The ending, due to
Renton's appearance
So Renton's hopping through worlds and looking for Eureka, which explains why there was no heart on the moon. That's also not the movie Nirvash, so I really had no problem with this entire sequence.
AO's world
left to look for Renton ten episodes ago on Eureka's suggestion, and, after struggling to find him, they both leave to save Eureka, and consequently, AO's world

Okay, I think this post alone has made me crawl back from the edge and rethink my thoughts of self-harm. I am now living life with a new perspective and joy. Thank you Shounen Emperor for putting a smile on me today!

. Even though there was a greater lesson to be learned, Momiji's plan this episode was actually kind of dickish considering the aforementioned development and, for the first time, I felt something approximating sympathy for Ichiko. It's a strange feeling.

Subete no aware
I stopped watching since they stopped caring about Nana and Mai. Did they ever show who that guy stalking Mai was? lol
SAO's initial premise was disgusting. I suppose it still is, but the first two episodes were quite possible the worst thing I've seen in the short time that I've been watching anime.
Did they ever move out of that apartment?! lol
I'll preface this by saying I know nothing about the manga or source material at all.
I was guessing that maybe the
necklace was a placebo effect.

Duckroll is such a junkie, just last week he was saying that he didn't care what happened in the series anymore. Bones reeling you back in!
I watched those before this started airing.
nope, that is the way of the ronin
I strongly suspected that at first, but then this line made me doubt myself, as I couldn't tell whether or not
Benjogami was chiding Momiji for taking an aggressive, violent approach to Ichiko's situation instead of politely asking for her cooperation from the beginning
