I wish I remembered, heh. She tried pronouncing the names of the stuff I ordered, and I told her she didn't need to suffer trying to get them out lol

Super nice though.


Greatest fight in anime history.

it's possible to make a point without spamming gifs, y'know

would also suggest that linking to actual footage of the fights in question would better serve your argument than a bunch of stamp-sized five second cuts.

So....YuYuYu is another hot blooded magical girl show. Why are these so awesome?
Why is MAhou Shoujo so awesome in general?

Also this show is HEAVILY influenced by Madoka Magica and thats a good thing.

People were given the gift of webm but instead feel a need to still make 200MB gifs instead. Sad times.

made .gif is far easier for me tbh, I'm still yet to figure out a way to made .webm without troublesome codec tinkering or uploading giant file with my crappy internet.

Some anime was added to Netflix (U.S.) today.
- Arpeggio of Blue Steel
- Kotoura-san
- My Little Monster
- Samurai Famenco

These - or at least SamuNeco and Arpeggio - were on UK Netflix as well when I checked a couple of days ago. Pretty sure Kotoura-san and My Little Monster are there too, but I didn't specifically watch either of those.

Kotoura-san is now available to a wider audience? Maybe Good Smile will finally show off more of her Nendo that is close to becoming the Last Guardian of figurines.

Even though I have no interest in buying it

I would so buy that. Certain series that seem perfect for figurines are not getting any, or else getting very sparse and cheaply made ones. It makes little sense.

Your Lie in April - Episode 2

At least the other half of noitaminA this season is much better. I'm still not really sold on the dramatic aspects of this show, but I think the feelings it successfully invokes in the presentation of the characters and themes make up for it somewhat. It was pretty funny seeing all the static "performances" before the Kaori shows up and gets a fully animated one though. Expected for a TV series, but still, really funny. I wonder how accurate the actual musical performances were for the episode though. I'm so bad at music stuff I can't tell one way or another. Was the guy who was supposed to be "off" actually making any obvious mistakes?
Well, I didn't watch the episode yet, but if it's anything like Nodame, the performances are recorded perfectly technically for the major performances to sell soundtracks. At that level of competition though, it's not difficult to give a flawless technical performance through practice. The scoring is also about your interpretation of the piece. The music sheet shows the notes, but not the expression of the original composer. Well, not all of it. I'm no violinist though. :lol

If your show doesn't even get a Beach Queens fig you're likely to get nothing.

Well, like one example is Date a Live. That show has some really neat looking characters in it yet it gets hardly anything. Unbreakable MAchine Dolls only got figures of Yaya made by....Griffon
If this world was just there would be a huge gorgeous Alter or GSC figure of Kurumi and you bet your ass I would pay out the nose for that. So would many others.
 
There's always a method to my madness.

If it gets more people watching Katanagatari just like the chart gets people watching Texhnolyze, then i've done good in the world.

Oh I see.

I assume you've never seen Katanagatari?

Because there's definitely a veeeeery good reason Thoraxes said that
somewhat sarcastically

I have. Not all of it. Some fights were well thought out but in terms of animation and choreography it didn't do much to me.

That's... not what I was asking at all. Maybe you should watch the episode first to know what I'm even talking about? Just saying.

It's written by NisiOisiN. The main focus is the exposition. I'm a big fan of his style though; I enjoy it greatly.

The guy was rushing in his performance.

(Rushing is a term used to indicate that in the structure of linear music, he is performing notes ahead of the other performers (in this case it's his accompaniment, the pianist); they are not together)

Like, a sixteenth to an eighth ahead. Which is really horrible. To me it almost hurt to listen to it get messed up that badly lol. Pretty much would get huge marks off for something like that in solo contests.

Hm... Might check some of those out then.

You read the book or watched the movie before?

I didn't even know it was based on anything. Though its very europeaness I guess makes it scream based on some euro novel.

I did think spending a double episode on backstory that other shows would put in a flashback scene or two was curious. And I do like the backgrounds a lot. And given the notorious nature of tv anime cg I found it fine for the most part.

As I said before, this show is pretty cute too and really reminiscent of Madoka. So much so, I suspect something tragic will happen. Just a feeling. Something is gonna go terribly wrong. I just hope this show does its own thing.

Ah. I guess the movie (and possibly also the book) is mostly known about in Nordic countries.

Seven Deadly Sexual Predators - Episode 2

The main character should be in jail, not protecting a princess.

Amagi Sexual Harassment Park - Episode 3

The main character should be in jail, not managing a theme park.

Parasyte is quite interesting, I'm trying to stop reading more of the manga and wait for the weekly anime episode but I'll probably end up finishing the whole manga in a couple of nights.

episode 2 was pretty good. also, after listening to it 2-3 more times, I somehow like the opening.

Rookie mistake.

I don't understand why anyone does anything they do. The dialogue and attempts to establish character motivations in this just leave me stupefied.

Is this show an allegory about the state of the hip hop industry?
KyoAni is really trying to win back their non fujoshi fans back xD

Thanks for the explanation. It's good to know that there's actually a lot of effort put into the sound in the show, including flawed performances. I'm such a scrub I can't really tell lol.

Katanagatari was awesome. Really liked the hour long episodes. Wasn't the show monthly when it was airing? Waiting for each episode must have sucked.

That Katanagiri gif is impressive. Need to check out the show one of these days.

Zoku Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei 3

Chiri is truly the best.

Man that entire overreacting segment was pure gold. This show could be 20 minutes of various reaction faces and I would still ate it up.

Twintail 1-2

You know what I like? Honesty. It's arguably my biggest gripe with the anime industry at the moment. Many series these days create a premise or a world, but it is largely used as a vehicle to put blood or tits on your screen instead of creating a compelling story or characters using the setting.

In this series you have one of the dumbest concepts of all time, but it knows exactly what it wants to be and what it wants to do. It has the right amount of playing genre tropes straight, but also the right amount of self-awareness to poke fun of it's concept and the genres it represents. The result is something that is really funny and enjoyable. And I was snickering throughout both episodes. Hopefully it can keep up the pace.

This is a show about a damn hairstyle, and it has been better than about 75% of shows I have seen this year on a sheer enjoyment level. AOTY.

Also, those bad guys have impeccable taste.

Im glad you joined the winning side.
 
Detective Conan 325:
The Heiji cases really always are a good example of the series stepping up its game. The scenes with Conan, Heiji and Kogorou staking out the house and doing some investigating are fun, and then once we get into the arson we have some great stuff. Inspector Yuminaga is one of those fun minor characters in the series who doesn't show up that much, but is always nice to see. Here, in his first appearance, we get some great stuff with him talking about how Kogorou was always screwing things up for him back in the day.

Also, Ran's superstitions just get more and more annoying for me anytime I see a case with them. It's not really a good character trait at all, and it just makes her come across as silly.
 
Sabagebu! END

Yeah, my feelings from watching the first half haven't really changed. Humor tends to be hit-or-miss. But then again, I've never really enjoyed this kind of gag humor. So I guess the fact that I made it through the entire series, whereas I could only get through 1-2 episodes of say Yuyushiki or Nichijou I guess that says a lot. Just gotta make sure the next show I pick is something with an actual story.

Amagi Brilliant Park 3
Working longer days and advertisement is certainly one way to bring in more customers. Still needs more Slyphy
 
Amagi Brilliant Park - 3

So what's this guy's ingenious plan for bringing in guests to the park? That mostly consists of families with young children?

Why, filming all the female staff members in swimsuits while they're cheerleading of course! And if that's not enough, he also uploaded a video of one of the mascots punching the living daylights out of one of the customers!

Clearly we're looking at Disney World levels of popularity here with this kind of advertising!
