I think i'm okay with getting the regular $40 version with just the blu rays.
 
Future Card Buddyfight Episode 38 (engDub)

Because Kiri is a character who seems to suffer from confidence issues and strong feelings of friendship, I expect him to eventually change sides.
The preview for next week suggests that I may be correct.

Fenrir is a good card.

Cardcaptor Sakura 44-46

So Kero has finally evolved to his true form, and
Yukito
to his true, slightly more dickish form.
That world without love was weird. The use of music over dialogue and the empty atmosphere made everything feel really off-balance. Having Kaho be there to provide an extra life for Sakura makes sense - the bell did basically cheat them out of the Maze - and I liked how the Final Judgment went. Man, the cards are kinda petty when someone loses the Judgment, it's lucky this series has the concept of destiny or Sakura would be potentially screwed.

I've enjoyed the first two seasons, and with all the cards captured and Sakura declared the new master, I'm not really sure where things can go from here. Guess I'll find out tomorrow.

Terror finish

so the end was okish...
really i kind of just want to see a movie made off the series with five removed... as the idea really seemed decent to last for 5-6 eps but Five existed to pad it out to 11 eps.

Fairy Tail 201

Looks like we're back to regular, peaceful episodes for a while. The stakes aren't necessarily huge, though Lucy's weird pheromones in regards to the animal kingdom feels like something from the days of King Kong. The original one. As long as Virgo's around, that means more sarcastic Miyukichi, so I'm happy about that. As for that scene at the end with Mavis and Zeref, not sure exactly when the "final battle" is going to come. Or how final it's going to be.
 
Damn i was away from GAF for the whole day ..i guess i shouldn't have spend my day putting together combo battles videos for various games.
It's trangely addictive.

Anyway . Happy birthday to everyone whose birthday is today.!!


Those novels don't look very light to me.
They aren't.
Joke aside. The sheer amount of world building is insane and it's very fun if you know your history how entire portion of history are streamlined for fun and crazy And i say "streamlined" since the writter goes in details whenever he has a chance to.

Berserker's First Errand is by a million miles the best thing to come out of Carnival Phantasm.

1- group date
2- holy grail race
3- berserker first erand

Being Lancer is suffering.

Always ...

Very enjoyable show that got over looked by a lot of people

So Terraformars anime is hilariously censored? Guess I won't bother until I can see it uncut like with Tokyo Ghouls
 
Oh Terraformers is actually on CR? Hmm well maybe I'll watch it I try to watch as many CR shows that interest me to justify my sub price :X

Yeah... I don't wanna rain on anybody's parade but umm... It's five episodes in and you guys haven't danced yet. I mean all of these friendship and love speeches are fine but I thought this show was about yosakoi dancing. Meh that's fine though. I'm only watching this show to stare at Hana anyway.

The first two arcs in Sunday Without God were pretty good I thought, but the ones after that, not so much. I enjoyed it, but really felt it was wasted potential.

You guys ready for Ufotable's Fate/stay in the kitchen?


Im pretty sure they are adapting the Rin centric path not the one from the original series. It should be less aggravating.

Happy birthday to those that have birthdays today.

Hope you're having a good one <3

Happy birthday to my little brother too!

SMH all these people watching Garzey's Wing instead of Mad Bull 34.

Why not both?

Well... Why choose? Everybody should watch both.





Code Geass is so long though :p

If ever a show was worth your time investment, Code Geass is it!

I only got one happy bday this year from a kind gaffer.



Heads up: this show is very dry and kinda bad. Sword fights are nice.

Also, it's loosely based a real person...and I better not see you hating on the talking skull!



Yeah but how do I explain all the mofu to people

Mofu is pure and beautiful. It is good for you!
 
My little brother loved Kill la Kill so now we're watching Gurren Lagann together. Man, the opening scene in episode 1, the visuals and music and everything still give me goosebumps. I forgot almost everything beside the main plot points so cant wait to start the rewatch.

Went in for the yosakoi dancing , stayed for the "friendship"

Haha, man that dad seriously just went from
"she's writing love letters"
to
"she's fucking dudes every day."
Hahahahaha amazing. I feel bad for him though. And holy crap did they actually
dance this episode?
It looks like things are finally happening!

Dying is bad.

Yeesh, that flashback scene with Ohana and her mother had Okada written aaaaaaaaaaaall over it.

Wasn't digging Ohana as the lead until she stepped up and told Minko and Nako to fuck off with their bullshit, albeit in the lightest way possible. She got points in my book for that. Still not sure about her going forward though. She wants to prove herself as a hard worker, so she almost makes Tohru crash the van and then runs off to take the train back to the inn, ergo completely leaving him alone to do the task he requested her hel with. What? Then she starts reading that dude's book after she digs yp the papers she threw out (I do admit I lold at her realizing what he was writing). We'll see, I guess.

Made my friend watch terraformars. He thought it was alright and scoffed at the censorship. He then said akari was like shinji since he loves Evangelion.

I described the show as "49% moeblob yuribait, 48% drama, and like 3% actual Yosakoi" http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=126919697&postcount=14262 and then "six parts drama and four parts moe antics" http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=131291777&postcount=2841 in my reviews of eps 1-10. The balance is somewhere in there. It's an okay show, but the constant drama gets a bit old...

Yeah that pretty much describes how I feel about the show right now. I'll keep watching it because of Hana. It's really not that great though.

Look at all of this foreshadowing!

So, calling it now. Kurisu's totally
some kind of agent of these SERN guys right?

I mean, the statement about her father, the way she spoke about our main character being a conspiracy theorist, I can totally see it playing out like that.

I was reading through all these Terra Formars impressions, and for just a moment wondered why they didn't reframe or alter the violent scenes so they wouldn't have to be censored so badly. Then I remembered it's probably to sell uncut disc versions.

Disc sales>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Putting out a good TV show and having artistic integrity. Obviously.

Pretty sure its also applied for everything in life.

EDIT: Sheit I don't realize this post had pics.

I don't know that life's questions are all answered by unzipping a woman's bosom. Maybe I'm wrong on that, but I think you could get in trouble for that.

Why is he even doing that? What did he expect to find?

So the group is on the run because aliens instigated a nuclear war on Mars, causing the Soviets and Americans to murder each other. We're talking they checked for shelters and people had gunned each other down in a run for the bomb shelters bleak. Anyway these kids are on the run, because they witnessed the aliens and if they make it to Earth Earth will be warned.

So they're in this last refuge with nothing to eat and no fuel to escape and they stumble across enough stuff to make stew. The girl who made the stew suggested they all take off their space suits and have a moment of fun in what is a living nightmare. Everybody complied.

The doctor and the hero are out in another room trying to reach Earth, and come back in. The kid wanted doc to take off her spacesuit. Why he walked up and did it himself is anybody's guess.

TL;DR they were trying to take their minds off bad things and get informal for a meal. Kid was trying to make the uptight doc participate when "SURPRISE I DON'T HAVE A SHIRT ON UNDER HERE."

The twist is way better than that. You're not even trying.

*scratches head* Aren't they maintaining integrity by not toning down the violence? Wouldn't you rather be able to eventually watch it uncut than have it toned down?

I don't really follow Akane's logic for what Makishima was actually up to, and frankly the whole setup seems a little contrived in the end. is Masaoka suddenly a better fighter than Kogami and Makishima? that dynamite also had the most easily lit, shortest fuse ever, and the tiny blast radius makes the whole affair seem pointless.

Record of Lodoss War 13

Well, they clearly saved their good storyboarding and best animators for this episode, making for a pretty satisfying conclusion. The part in particular where Winds, Birds, and Sky starts playing is still great.

Lodoss is interesting in its status as a "classic" anime in the west, where it was one of the first anime for many fans. It has really appealing character designs and art direction, and a classic fantasy story. Nonetheless, it still has a number of flaws relating to production issues and some bad storyboarding.

I feel like Record of Lodoss War is a series that's ripe for the Space Battleship Yamato 2199 treatment at some point.

Well, that kind of did happen with the Lodoss television series.
