On the Horizon on the Middle of Nowhere II PV,
Tes. Nice to see Tori back as well as hearing Terminated once more. Though I didnt see Noriki, or Neshinbara, but nice for Slicing Dragonfly and both Honda's.

Just one week to go. The hype is killing me.
Will be the best show of the season just like it was the best show of Fall. Really can't honestly wait another day

Best part of S1 were the yuri girls and like their one scene the entire season.
S1 was okay. Got better as it got along but not a whole lot.

Asks questions so Ezalc doesn't have to
I would highly recommend Laputa: Castle in the Sky and Porco Rosso. Those are my two favorite Miyazaki movies. ^_^
*phrase that must not be uttered*
Mikan is a miracle of the universe.
Show will only be worthwhile if it's as defiantly trollish as the manga.
And the opening? How is the opening? Or isn't it shown on the first episode?
She made the error of going against an old hag like the tireless Sazae-san (http://yaraon.blog109.fc2.com/blog-entry-8009.html), now there will be no end to their battle.

Hey guys, just wanted to ask:
RE: Anohana getting licensed - are NISA still doing that really annoying thing where they only give their releases to Rightstuf and themselves? Importing to the UK is a real pain if PlanetAxel/Amazon don't get them.
RE: Anohana getting licensed - are NISA still doing that really annoying thing where they only give their releases to Rightstuf and themselves? Importing to the UK is a real pain if PlanetAxel/Amazon don't get them.
No opening in the first episode unfortunately.
That's a really funny way of spelling Shiryu.
I want it NOW!
I can see NISA titles on Amazon.com, but they're priced at MSRP. Doesn't look like they show up until the exact release date, though.
e: On closer look, they're all through third-party sellers but "fulfilled by Amazon", so I guess there's no guarantee it'll show up. Kimi ni Todoke Vol. 2 releases in ten days, so whatever happens with it should be a good predictor of how soon, if at all, Anohana will show up after its release.

Silly? I loved it pretty deep plot and had an excellent mix of battle of feeling like some epic rpg of sorts, and the music and visuals. Surprise hit for me.
Maybe Mr. Anno was behind schedule, again...
Let the kids take the spotlight for a moment while a real man like Ikki is there to save them.
For the first time in a long while (years!) I think I might watch the first episodes of the majority of those. I don't think I've done this since 2004 or so.
I think I've found a new mantra.
This is one of my favorite things about Kenshin visually. I'm not even kidding.
Your Shin Kyoto-hen impressions are the least-negative I've heard yet. I'm going to watch it today and hope that the fact that it's been a really really long time since I watched RK will help me overlook any dumb plot changes.
Even if you hadn't specified the episode number, I still would have known which episode you'd just watched.
I don't think that PA Works got the message that just because your anime takes place in 1998, it doesn't mean that you should use 1998 CG.
Yes. It's intended for a new audience.
Sweet, thanks! Haven't watched anime in ages except for Naruto, gonna try to watch some stuff again. Can't wait for Lupin and Sakimichi no Apollon.

The way Sherlock bleeds flowers is adorable.
Haha, poor Nero is on that
Bah, wished they'd showed at least a bit of Genius 4's battle. Eyecatch transition to aftermath's a bit of a cop-out.
Dat ending...shit gone real.
Awwwww, look how sad they're suffering
And holy crap, Arsene has lost it!

Had to get this pose, preppin' for battle like a beast

Sherlock's speech was nice, but I could barely take it seriously when she's deformed for 90% of it. Useful Gift from Sonia at last second?....*facepalm* I'll go with it. lol @ the wedding plate.
Yay. Everyone got their powers back in a bang of glory!
Dat ending...shit gone real.

This is the most ridiculous poster I have ever seen, and not in a good way.
I don't like posting threads before the episode actually airs in Japan. As soon as that shit gets on Crunchyroll, I'm pressing the "Submit Thread" button. :V

I'd like to say this is just not true, but it's unsurprising that the Infinite Stratos dub is rather lacklustre.
They also seem to have put up an official site for the Little Busters! anime, though there's not much there besides the same video.
I'm not sure how Brittney Karbowski got another role voicing a British character. She's a good voice actress when she's not doing an accent but her voice is so distinctive, and distinctively American at that. It also doesn't help that she was obviously voicing the side/extra/crowd characters. Most of the other voices in the dub sound fine if they're American accents.

Ha!
I can't help, but moan when
moans...it's contagious!
Lack of powers be damned!
Hehe, there's some fun stuff in the scuffle
Okay, so now....NOOOW?!
*double facepalmtacular*
Ah well, a fitting ending, I suppose. Overall, I found this pretty entertaining. The color palette was...colorful. Three Card are the best goons I've seen in a bit and the humor, while flat at times, was enjoyable more often than not.
I'll be putting Season 2 on my list as I'm looking forward to more light-hearted suffering from this gang of silliness. I'll probably watch it after something more serious though, I've been thinking of getting on Stein's; Gate...
After Credits:
Ha!
Beautiful Me summon just had to happen before this ended.

Dayumn, this battle! I'm being selfish, but I wish there were action like this for every other episode!
Gaa--! Boobs killed the tension! Damn you soft breeeeeeeasts!
Hehe, there's some fun stuff in the scuffle
when you pause at each frame of it.
Okay, so now....NOOOW?!
They forget who Arsene is and lose their powers immediately again, of course.

This show's manner of storytelling continues to impress me. When there's a concept it feels the audience needs to be clear on, it has a character point out and explain it, such as with the memory eggs. Otherwise, it lets the world speak for itself. We can figure out
As someone interested in mind/body philosophy, I'm pleased by the thoughtful and visually evocative manner in which this show treats its concepts. What stuck out to me most was the issue of original vs. copy.
The cartoony elements, present in both the exaggerated, goofy side of the visuals and the sound effects, are charming and help make the show easier to watch at points where it approaches the disturbing. Integrating it into the overall style makes the moments of humor more natural than in Kemonozume, where the monkey stood out like a sore thumb.

that Kaiba's body has been hijacked for the woman to use for self-pleasure through her addressing it as "myself," through the out-of-character actions of that body, and through the fractured visual presentation of the sex scene. Kaiba's personality is identified as being in the dinosaur body through the locket. It is significant that his soul is bound up in the picture of another character, as he still has little definition as his own entity. He remains a plaything for others - first the woman who discards him, and then for the majority of this episode through the small flying creature by his side. This could be seen as a statement about what defines us as people: without our memories, would we have any personality to speak of?

When the copy succeeds in blowing up the original through over-stimulation, the green residue left throughout the room and on its body makes it look like a violent monster has just finished a bloody massacre. It's a vivid presentation of the danger inherent in creating a copy of a personality: kept in a separate body, it takes on a life of its own that seeks to supplant the threatening original.

I really can't say that I have the faintest idea what's going on in this trailer. Perhaps that's for the best:

(Yes, I know Dresden has already posted about it. I'm still trying to deal with it's implications.)

What if Crunchy is delayed?
It airs in 6 hours!
As soon as non-Japanese people are able to watch it without using KeyHole, then.

Hmm... cool, but... does this counts as an April Fool's Day joke when an image including that poster has been circulating on the Internet for various days? I'm starting to think there is more than meets the eye on this...
