Monster 2-
So I'm guessing Tenma is going to be blamed for the murders and kicked out of the hospital. Dude really has shit luck. I was also wrong about the sister saying wanting to kill her brother but as she was referring to herself.
The sound direction is really on point with this. Scenes like Tenma venting and Liebert opening his eyes, were really aided by the sound direction. The visual direction was also kicking in with stuff like the doors representing Tenma's loss of status. The show really does a good job depicting Tenma's emotional state in that he does seem happier but also worse off at the same time. That's something I like about his character in that he hasn't really done much sulking and he quickly realized how awful so many of these people are.
One thing I'm not overly fond of is how many and how extreme these assholes at the hospital are. They seem a little caricaturist-ish right now.

It'd have been nice but it'll bounce back to comedy soon (then back to drama lol)

Most. Most of the animation was top-notch.
This GIF did come from Angel Beats after all.

that....that was glorious!!
A fun story of an ambitious little giant robot club trying to get a giant robot built and entered into a prestigious contest. The two characters are a verrrrrrrry genki girl Aki and her friend Kai who is much more laid back and reserved. Their chemistry really flows together. Securing funding could be an issue though. The art is pretty good with well drawn characters and beautiful backgrounds.

yeah shes absolutely as adorable as I was hoping. Good god. Im gonna love this.

I wouldn't know. I was only able to complete the English dub before all the legal streams went away and was unable to compare to the original Japanese music track. I really just want someone like Nozomi, Discotek, or even NISA to license rescue the anime.
Then again, I do not recall seeing the English subtitled version available for streaming through Manga ENT. Could easily be wrong though.
Omg. Jojo is wonderous Corvy!!

That's fair. I am sorry you didn't like it. I hope it does turn around for you. I won't hold my breath though. I hope it can turn it around for you in the next two episodes. But thanks for going into it open minded and giving it a fair shake.
BTW you're watching it subbed right?
But do you have the abs to go with it?

And I can point to a billion scenes in KLK where the animation is really terrible. You can find animation problems in any anime if you look hard enough. Let it go man.
FYI I still don't see what wrong with this capture but you captured it in mid motion so whatever.

Yeah I'm watching it subbed. Maybe the dub does things better, but yeah I'm not really feeling the drama in this show.
Pancakes
hot, steaming, as melted butter slips into the cracks, drizzled with sticky sweet syrup OH GOD
I will never be as rock hard as Mikasa
.(I'm trying to bulk right now so abs are out of the question until I start cutting.)
S-soredemo didn't make the list? Shame on you, AnimeGAFers of the past. At least The Tatami Galaxy is on there.

Hidamari Sketch not in the top 10 any of the years it airs is the real crime.

Heh I really like that scene.
"And what do you want me to reflect on!!!!" As he swings his spear pointing it at an unarmed girl.
That's unfortunate. I really connected with Iwasawa in episode 3 (I watched it dubbed). And that kind of set the tone for me going forward. I hope you at least enjoy episode 4 before you stop because I really liked that episode.
Edit: Since you got nothing to lose try switching to the dub. Just want to see if it gets even a little better for you...

Also, speaking of bad animation stills:

I downloaded Dream Club on PS4 and I don't know what am I doing. This is the only thing I figured out how to do

Gintama' 209
Oh a recap... well partially at least. Like that movie trailer for a movie that isn't happening, although I wouldn't mind seeing it... But we kind of have a lot of details laid down for us from the 200+ episodes of Gintama available.
That being said, NEXT TIME! FOUR DEVAS ARC

How the hell have you never seen JoJo?
bubububut the keyframes
Uhh, no he didn't.
Plus there's nothing in KLK that even begins to come close to stuff like this:

That's kind the thing with Saki , no matter how bullshit your power is , there is always someone there to negate/cancel it !
Seeing the perfect way to reach a favorable hand ? Negated
Creating the perfect hand from scratch ? negated
super explosive riichi at start ? negated
I would be overjoyed ..but this week i've started idolmaster 2 so i cannot help but find faults in the choegraphy in this vid .
Notice how none of the characters look like they are actually part of the set.

Yes he did. Almost every character is moving in this scene when it's going on.
There were moments just in the last episode alone that made it look extremely low budget.

I love how Tenma gave no fucks. No tears were shed and after the initial shock, he gave no shits about any of them.
So the show again went in a different direction than I expected.
. Things turned out better than expected although I'm sure his life is going to get shat on at some point or another, as Tenma is way too happy right now.

He actually got promoted to the Chief of Surgery position anyway. I love how Eva, the money grubbing leech that she is, tried to get with Tenma again and he was nope.jpg. Well done on his part
The Detective reminds me of Sherlock's Mind Palace stuff.
The manga's one of my favorites, I should get around to watching the show sometime. You're in for a ride!
Nobody's ever really recommended I watch it? I dunno. I asked for recommendations awhile back and got Hyouka but nobody mentioned this Jojo thing.

I have a single tab that's been open for weeks now ready for me to start the series but I haven't gotten around to it yet because of everything else I am catching up with this season.

Yeah, that list will forever be our shame. Whatever problems many of us might have had with the most recent list, at least it was better than this monstrosity.
A common reaction to Angel Beats.

Ugh. Seriously the dub is much better.
Branduil. Dude.
If you hate it so much then why do you bother in responding and talking about it? Seriously? God forbid someone like something different.

The new outfits the opening showed off are starting to arrive, and I'm liking these final performances for many reasons. It's a return to the solo songs. I liked the trios and the duos (Rosette Nebula the best), but this is where things can shine. Mostly it's because Otoha finally snapped and told everyone to stop worrying and get their asses in gear already. She is going to Maerchen the hell out of you and you are going to like it.
An's grandma is also pretty sweet (pun not intended). The new Jumps are even more outlandish than the last. It all feels a bit promote-y, but this is coming after several rather slow episodes wrapping up the character arcs. Even if it is video game based, that the powerups are something that come from the characters themselves rather than any (explicit) form of merchandise is alright with me.

At this point I am lead to assume that the reason no one has ever recommended this thing to me is because you all assumed I'd seen it already?

This show reminds a bit of Angelic Layer.
Aki is absolutely precious. Unstoppably genki like Hajime in Gatchaman. I love characters like her so much.
in any case a new girl shows up to assist in the project and she speaks in internet tongues.
things are getting pretty interesting.

But you do it to an obsessive degree. If I didn't like a show you like I would state it once and would only repeat it if someone asked.
I don't know you. You're probably a great guy and are doing it because it's fun to mess with me (I've been told this by many people xD) but the lengths you go to keep telling me and everyone else that it's a terrible show is unhealthy. I accept the show is not for everyone (clearly), but I would like to talk Angel Beats and Clannad with others without being haggled. I think that would make both our lives easier.
Same here! The mood maker type is usually my favorite in the cast. Boundless energy, boundless imagination, a proportionally tragic backstory most of the time... but they're so much fun to watch.
Precure All-Stars DX2 The Movie: Kibou no Hikari - Rainbow Jewel wo Mamore!
Yep, it's that time again. And you know what this means… SCREENSHOTS GALORE!
(Apologies as usual for the bandwidth load. I did at least convert everything to JPGs this time! =p)
So yeah, not as good as the first All-Stars movie, but that was still a fun ride. Bring on the next one!

Holy shit, it's Chocolat! *hugs* I honestly didn't think I was ever going to see her again!
But let's not get ahead of ourselves. First things first: the most important character of all, Minori, is much better represented in this movie than the last one. Like, she appears in more than one scene! And as we can see in this image, everyone (Chocolat included) knows who's the real star of this show! (Except the frogs. But screw the frogs.)
Better yet, the ultimate pairing is also present and accounted for! Poor Michiru and Kaoru may be eternally screwed over when it comes to actually getting to take part in battle ever again, but at least Kaoru is happy with her OTP.
On the mascot side of things, Porun is also better represented than in the previous movie…
…and of course his successor to the crown of Best Mascot Ever, Chiffon, continues doing best mascot things. Pictured here: Chiffon saving everyone. Again. It's really not fair giving Chiffon a Miracle Light, she's more than powerful enough to run rings around everyone else even without one. And here she has a whole box of them!
Speaking of mascots, they were the key to this movie's setting: a whole park themed around (and run by) the various mascots from all the series. It's a cute idea, and it was nice to see all the Cures getting together there just to hang out.
But of course, "just hanging out" isn't really how things went. The culprit: a villain called Bottom. Yes, that's actually the villain's name. Come on, guys, nobody can take a character seriously with the name Bottom. Shakespeare could tell you that. To be fair, though, I guess it's appropriate, because Bottom is a pretty damn underwhelming villain. The very thought of comparing him to Fusion from the last All-Stars movie is frankly laughable.
Bottom does, however, have excellent taste in the classic villains he chooses to revive…
…well, uh, I mean…one out of four isn't bad…and it's not like he had much choice with the Fresh villains after…almost all of them ended up doing heel-face turns
…actually, you know what? Just…forget I said anything.
Oh look, it's a Zakenna. Er, I mean, Northa's true form. Same difference.
…Guys? Guys what are you doing? Did you just blow all your sakuga budget on a weird scenery shot?
Oh, hey look! Love is shorter than Syrup! For some reason I wasn't expecting that.
…I'm actually feeling vaguely tempted to ship them together now. Dammit, Love, why are you so eminently shippable. It's the name, isn't it.
lol, you don't have to act so surprised that you're not the only Precure in the world. You do know about Cure Moonlight and Cure Flower already, after all.
Okay, here's a new game! Let's play "count how many side characters you can identify"! Dear God, they didn't half pack in every last person they could find, huh? Even Rin's little brother and sister are in there!
Some things never change. One of these things is Nagisa and Honoka sneaking in one of their iconic little stock animations at every goddamn opportunity they can find. I must have seen this one at least ten times by now. It's still good, though.
Shit, they're even doing it in CG now. There really is no stopping them.
Speaking of CG, I did think there was a liiiiittle too much dodgy CG in the movie proper…
…but it was at least kind of fun to see CG ending dances from all the Cures who predated that particular tradition.
Even if the Fresh girls were still clearly the best. Well, they are the only actual dancers in the group, so it's only fair. (And good job, random Vietnamese people, covering up worst girl and leaving the others untouched!)
Seriously, though, guys, if you keep multiplying at this rate, there is not going to be enough room for you all on the screen any more. And then we'll have to suffer the New Stage movies. Stop, before it's too late!
And since I ended my impressions for the last All-Stars movie with a gif of Milk being massively OP, I suppose I should do the same here. Look at her, she's all like "Milky Rose powers? Who needs Milky Rose powers? I can kick your ass with my fluffy mascot ears!"
So yeah, not as good as the first All-Stars movie, but that was still a fun ride. Bring on the next one!

Man, seeing all those Samurai Flamenco changes on Twitter is really making me want to pick that show up. Like I KNOW It's gonna get crazy at one point, I just don't know how much.
If I drop Angel Beats after two more episodes, that's next on the list. I need to dive in and experience the Flamenco.

Fair assumption.
Jojo's is good. You should watch it.
You can try it out when you have time it's a F2P game.
