Nobody. I was trying to indicate one way of creating a bad topic of conversation that would fill out numerous posts was to post something completely counter-intuitive to rational thought and try to defend that point despite not actually believing it.

That was the first thing I could think of.

Endless Eight is a thought-provoking metaphor for the trope-filled nature of slice of life anime.
:p

Anyways more Lupin from Takeshi Koike?! http://www.animate.tv/news/details.php?id=1395337729

Lupin III The Grave of Jigen Daisuke

139533772911569610ff146a.jpg


Director, character design: Takeshi Koike
Script: Yuuya Takahashi
Music: James Shimoji

theatrical planned for early summer 2014

Still unable to finish the last one thanks to okada power of dreadful writing that poisons everything around it.

Takeshi Koike is my favorite animator but I don't think I could live through another mari okada written anything, so am going to sit back & wait to find out if she really is not involved before even attempting watching this.

What the fuck? Inari Kon Kon only has 10 episodes? This is an outrage! Also they never explained
why the brother was able to see Uka.
Unless I missed that part.

Interest seems to be waning. Could be due to a lackluster 3rd season and some weak episodes this season.

On the other hand, I haven't noticed much of a change as far as interest level during Season 4. Of course, I'm looking at other places as well.
 
Ojamajo Doremi Dokkaan - Episode 32


Doremi x Adventure Time?

Hana helping out someone on her own was great to see
even if she did do it wrong to start off with.
She did a good job at it and eventually solved Sachiko's problem.

The red daruma bit was great, especially when Hana then greeted Sachiko with a doghouse on her head.

And everyone could see Toshi at school. The whole visibility thing is not consistent.
 
Golden time - 23

Pretty sweet episode, full of bitter sweet moments.

There is no contest that nana-sepai is the sempai everyone should have at university .. but that's another thing

So i'm gonna stop here , if i say any more i will give hints toward the finale and that's a no no no.

Place your bet folks !
1)
Banri choosing koko
2)
Banri choosing linda
3)
Banri choosing 2d-kun
4)
None of the above

The answer is obviously .......

I think it's just assumed that some people just have the 'gift'. As to what Basileus mentions I just assume that
when they transform into a human, they turn visible

But my issues with this are so minimal when compared to Another I'm going to let them slide. I recommend the manga. In fact start from the beginning. The manga is so much better.

I already know VN spoilers so I'm not going to answer.

But if gods transforming turns them visible, why is there angst about Inari never being able to see Uka? Uka could just transform.
 
And everyone could see Toshi at school. The whole visibility thing is not consistent.
He was transforming as a human , human can see humans , just like when uka rescuse inari brother when he was lost in the forest , she was transformed as a human too .

Humans can see humans.

He was gifted , some people have the gift, other don't. Inari and his brother both have the gift and it's stronger in his brother.
 
He was transforming as a human , human can see humans , just like when uka rescuse inari brother when he was lost in the forest , she was transformed as a human too .

Humans can see humans.

But then
why can't Uka do the same whenever she wants to talk to Inari?
It's still inconsistent.

That just makes me wonder why Uka doesn't do that so that she can talk to Inari sometimes. I'll definitely look up the manga.
 
Pretty sure they never answer that in the manga. I would just file that under 'lol the author never thought about it but it would take away from drama so ssssssshhhhh'
 
Magical Warfare Episode 11
BjNtJ8yIEAEjhLi.jpg


I think Im at this point just watching this for Takashi and Gekkou to do stuff and etc. Its the main compelling aspect in an otherwise continually dull anime.
though Takashi's development with his magic and then doing the two spells and levitating was cool but so late in the episode
.

Watched Golden Time 23. Tears were shed. Also watched Silver Spoon 2.10. Another excellent episode. Its clear to me I will definitely be starting to read the manga when this is over.
 
Recently, I may have made my sister orgasm after performing the Heimlich Maneuver on her 10

Even with the slap, she at least moaned in satisfaction.

The question I have is how the anime lines up with the novels. Will it end with 'go read the books for the end'? Have they just sped through and know the end from the author (I assume the novels are still going)? Have they just made up their own ending?

bad gameplay lol

The final volume of the novel came out a day after episode 21 aired, which was where the anime caught up with the novel. Which likely means they held the novel's release back until that episode on purpose. So I'd wager just about anything that the anime will have the same exact ending as the novel.

Toshihiro Kawamoto and Kenichi Yoshida produced some exclusive artwork for a Belgian manga/animu convention a few days ago where they were guests at.

All BONES related stuff of course.

I think there are two more, but no pic of them :(

Did they auction those off?

Ah OK. That sounds rather smart for Japan.

Because .... ..euh ....
because ............

"It's not the same!"

Anime is following the books closely.All you'll miss is side stories for the characters that they can put in a oav or something.Golden time has 8 books and probably won't have a 9th because Volume 8 ends with "The end"..
Golden time is done .... so all of you better enjoy last episode next week.

So I watched the first season of Strike Witches and most of the second season, and Erica is definitely the best witch. Which makes sense, as Hartmann was actually a pretty damn awesome dude by all accounts, and one of the most magnificient bastards in the history of aerial combat. Not only the top ace of all time, he was also known to be extremely laid back. Rumor has it that when Hitler wanted to give him a medal, he was drunk as fuck and stole his hat. He also only disobeyed an order once, and that was at the end of the war when he was ordered to leave his squad so that the Soviets wouldn't get him (they got him anyway because the allied forces handed him over, and the Russians then tried to break him but failed hard). So in a way, Strike Witches manages to portray him pretty well in some ways, but they totally failed to portray his meeting with Marseilles. The two knew each other, and there might have been some sort of rivalry between the two, but their fighting style was essentially the polar opposite, so a duel between the Hartmann and Marseilles is pretty much unthinkable. Marseille was a master when it came to open dogfights and leading shots, whereas Hartmann specialized in hit-and-run tactics - getting extremely close and firing a couple of shots at point blank range, then vanishing as quickly as possible.

Vrrrrm!~ Vrrrmmm! Vrmmm!

With Yamamoto and Okada not involved, hopefully the Jigen Daisuke movie will turn out differently from the Fujiko Mine series. Not that I have that much respect for Koike either, of course.
He hasn't directed much of anything outside of Redline right? Or is that why you don't have respect for him.
 
ZX IGNITION - 10
i must admit , administrator vega is not as assholish as i could have expected considering the first flashback , now it's obvious she has some ulter motive but it's great to see someone on the "vilain" side that is not 300% asshole because i swear every faction must compete on who will do the most evil thing and so far the angels are winning ( but who knows , there is still some episodes left )
ZX%20IGNITION%20-%2010.jpg

A sister look-alike loli just coocked a delicious looking meal just for you , you
1-Eat the meal
2-Ignore the meal
3-Genuflect
So yeah administrator vega , you're alright because despite all the evil things you've done , and the nasty trap that this informative device was , you're the least evil of all the evils!

Z/X tried to disguise a simple supply of "ressources" as a power of "friendship and protect" thing but you won't fool me. This was indeed a good teamwork for this make-up team but i can't help but think that their opponent was really naive.

Can't wait to see what faction will do evil things next week !

1.5! Don't forget Egypt!

Half eps don't count!

btw i'm amazed live action Koike delivers as well as manga/anime Kazuo Koike. I just watched a man fuck a bag of rice.
Knowing Koike, I'm guessing that man ran out prostitutes/lesbians to rape?

I don't doubt this'll turn out better without those two hacks working on it but I really can't get my hopes up after the series. :(
