No, he's just a loose cannon cop that beats his dick up to make himself tough. It's also huge and he won over a female prisoner Crying Freeman style.
Ah, the old rice bag training trick. Dammit Koike your genius never ceases to amaze.

Haha, wow I totally thought this nuke under Jaburo thing was in MSG. That'd been bugging me the whole time. Makes so much sense now, haha.

Meanwhile Kamille's Newtypeness has reached his brain and he's saying ridiculous shit now.

"Don't resist! If you hadn't resisted, you wouldn't have died!"

Victim blaming is a HUGE problem in UC Gundam, but it's especially ironic to hear here because its exactly the logic the Titans use.

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.

Wish more adaptations were like this.

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

It's only been 2 years since Fujiko. Don't see how Koike can make a whole movie in that time. Hopefully there'll actually be at least 90 seconds of animation in this one. Lulz.

Cute episode, though the major cliffhanger is annoying.

Also been watching Love Live in anticipation of the 2nd Season, It's super good, I almost didn't give it a chance.

Who here is still watching pupa? Each episode makes me angrier than the last. Every time I think something interesting will happen it ends. Seriously, what the fuck? They had a pretty good idea for a show and then messed it up with the three minute episodes. And the censorship doesn't really help either.
 
ZX IGNITION 10

Something about some character not existing anymore or something.

This show is definitely reaching that level of I don't remember what I just watched cause I had no interest in it.

Well at least we can tell people they fucked up within the first three minutes of the show.

I actually was eating celery with one of the episodes and it was like an interactive experience.
 
I stopped watching Pupa early on in the airing because the show ended before it began. And fuck them if they expect me to watch 1 minute of something every week. It's one of the best decisions I've ever made and one of my happier moments. When my future kids ask me what was the happiest day of my life so far was I'll tell them it was dropping Pupa. Followed by meeting their mom. Followed by getting a dog. They're nowhere near the top.

So...that was Zagato's motive for doing all this? Yeah, I didn't have much faith in that particular reveal, and I feel pretty justified. "Imma imprison you so that you don't have to pray anymore, so you can be free after the entire world crumbles and withers away". Even assuming she'll survive that, or that freedom would mean more than dick after the world is destroyed, that's still really stupid.

Emeeraude healing Zagato and then shouting "NOOOOOOOOO!!!!" when he was killed annoyed me. I know he was some high priest and probably a friend of hers and all, and maybe some Stockholm Syndrome on top of that, but did she really have hope that he'd change his mind, like, right there? Nah, he was long gone.
 
GJ-部: Repeat Blu-ray

For having all 12 episodes on one BD-50, I did not see any degradation in video quality. I am sure the single BDs probably had a better bitrate, but I am not going to complain especially after only paying about $85. The Blu-ray was held in a sturdy chipboard box with a digipak case. I was disappointed there were not English subs, but the singles did not have that option either, so I was glad I remembered a good amount of the subtitles through Crunchyroll's stream. Already have the GJ-bu@ Blu-ray pre-ordered so I now await for the April television airing.

I am not one for reviews, but I will state my character highlights. Just going to spoiler tag everything in case anyone is turned off by the slightest of spoilers.

Kyouya ("Kyoro"): Ore-man
Mao: Biting Kyoro
Megumi: Ridiculous amounts of tea
Shion: Lack of common sense despite being a genius gifted
Kirara: BEST GIRL
Tamaki: Well...I liked listening Sumire Uesaka's voice
Mori: Twirls! http://i.imgur.com/3F3ydOq.gif

Dammit people, stop making me laugh. My ribs hurt now.

Purposely sacrificing myself so I can tell future anime viewers to avoid this at all cost.

And I'm going to be extremely pissed if they don't elaborate on the
incest baby
.
 
I just saw a video of an irl japanese train as it filled up with passengers.

Th-they do know that people aren't sardines right? I mean I can see why so many get away with train bad touching. I mean if I didn't touch like 14 people just trying to reach my face to adjust my glasses it'd be a miracle.

Was there ever an anime made with Arche Klein?

Yes but she was barely in it despite being a main character and the best character. =[
Edit: I think that they also glossed over the part of the game that was the most important part of her character too.

Awesome episode, hopefully it'll lead to an awesome finale.

Lulz at Nui crashing the credits at the end. Also lulz at fanservice Deva outfits, and mega-lulz at Mako the entire episode.

I think the Chinese trains get even more packed than that. Its insane.

Kill la Kill 23

These recent episodes skyrocketed this to anime of the year so far. I know I shouldn't feel this way but I can't help it lol.

Son please, you want to talk about the greatest American character in anime, let me show you my Pokemons:

Z2xbnds.png


Do you know who this man is? This is TEXAS JACK. He is from TEXAS. The GREATEST AMERICA IN AMERICA. Do you know what his mech's name is? TEXAS MACK. Why? BECAUSE IT'S BIG. BIG MACK. NOTHING MORE AMERICAN THAN A TEXAS IN A BIG MACK. And TEXAS JACK in the TEXAS MACK is going to unleash the TEXAS ATTACK until the enemies TEXAS CRACK when he hits them with a TEXAS WHACK because TEXAS JACK never turns his TEXAS BACK.

AND IF THAT'S NOT MURICAN ENOUGH FOR YOU

rH6CRYg.jpg


Chibodee "GOD DAMN!" CROCKET. This mofo is so MURICAN his Gundam is a FOOTBALL PLAYER AND A BOXER. Unlike TEXAS MACK he combines TWO MURICAN stereotypes. Chibodee is so MURICAN though that he has to TURN HIS ARMS INTO MACHINE GUNS because HEAVY FIREARMS are the MURICAN WAY. Still not MURICAN ENOUGH? Chibodee FUCKS FOUR WOMEN AT ONCE. AFTER STEALING DOMON KASSHU'S WOMAN.

DO YOU FEEL THE PATRIOTISM YET SON? DO YOU? NO? TIME TO SEND YOU TO BOOT CAMP:

1zmfJjN.jpg


THIS IS LIEUTENANT "I EAT SHITHEADS LIKE YOU FOR BREAKFAST" SURGE. They called him THE LIGHTNING AMERICAN. Why? Because of his type-preference? NO. BECAUSE HE SPITS LIGHTNING DOWN YOUR 11 YEAR OLD SON'S THROAT AND SENDS HIM HOME CRYING. Pokemon is a series where criminals are bound and tied when you beat their monster friends. AND LT. SURGE IS A VETERAN OF WAR, SON. IN A WORLD WITH WORLD PEACE. BECAUSE THAT'S HOW MURICA DO.

Even when Kill la Kill is "good" it's still pretty dang bad. It's like they decided that continuous, utterly pointless "twists" and overbearing direction were substitutes for actually writing a story with proper dramatic beats and characterization.

Gundam - Reconguista in G is Tomino's new project. They didn't say exactly that it's a TV series, but it probably is. It'll start in Fall 2014. The character designer is Kenichi Yoshida, who worked on Gainer with Tomino, and later on Eureka 7. It's a sequel to Universal Century, set in the next calendar system - リギルド・センチュリー (Rigild Century?). Yuugo Kanno is composing the music.

I wish I could swap the designs for both shows. That way Tomino gets shit so I'm not remotely tempted to watch the garbage he's going to put out. Instead I'm going to be stuck watching a Tomino show for the character animation. Also chances of the writing being semi-decent are much higher in Captain Earth. Those mech designs in Captain Earth look like a step down from Star Driver.

God damn it, I hate being trapped watching bad anime. Or at the bare minimum, anime I know is probably going to be bad going in.

 
Corvo pls, Shirley is a veteran who saved us from the neuroi 70 years ago. Also Chuck Yeager continues to not acknowledge my emails containing links to her SW-Wiki article!

So I watched episode 1 of Another.

The scene in the classroom where the protagonist is surrounded by kids all greeting him and such. That's the worst case of voices not syncing with animation I've probably seen. to the point where you have different characters moving their lips to the audio that's heard.

Pretty sure that was supposed to be a case of a montage of faces around the classroom talking as a conversation happened in real time. It's been done before, simply a way to portray a scene in general. Episode 1 isn't where the show becomes hilariously silly. Episode 3 is.
