I don't dislike the crazy thought process of the cast nor the violence displayed, but the character's art creeps me out a little bit (Koko's smile mainly) and the visual quality of the episode was sort of meh.
I'm also not sure what this show is about. The adventures of an arms-dealer and her gang? The way a child soldier will get back his emotions and start having a real life? I guess I'll have to keep watching to find out.
 
I see. I guess they still managed to make a new nice sounding soundmix for the show with such materials since, well, the effects are part of the show. That's pretty lame re: the OST though.
I can live with it, as I love the Yuji Ohno stuff more. But Takeo's stuff was real unique for the franchise, and it encapsulated the deadpan style of that series quite well. Not to mention that it has some amazing OP themes, and what is still the one and only true ED theme that Lupin is known for (in Japan, at least).

What I want is more Charlie Kosei. Listening to his Lupin vocal album from 2002 makes me shed manly fucking tears every time, because his arrangements and his players are so damn good at what they do.

That credit hasnt been revealed yet, if its even been assigned. Both E7 and Xam'd had it though.

Pretty much every single BONES show these days has credits for main animators or key animators in the Opening. We'll definitely find out tonight.

This was pretty good. Not only the animation was expressive and fluid, but the script isn't half bad. It's a silent short with no dialogue so you don't have to worry about the stupid Sonic voice acting, but even so the sound effects were supreme. It's short and inoffensive too: about ten minutes long and there's hardly anything to scoff at.

There's a myriad of complaints you can make about Sega's in-house departments, but their CGI studio is among the best. I would say they are even better than Squeenix's. 5/5 gotta go fasts
It also had a moé ghost. Moé. Ghost.

Tomodachi wa Mahou
Mai Ritoru Poni: Yuujou wa Mahou 14


Everything that could have went horribly wrong for Rarity in this episode basically did. Her friends looked a gift horse in the mouth and Rarity learned the lesson that by trying to please everypony you end up pleasing nopony :(

The fashion show segments were a lot of fun. The bad dresses were hilariously hideous while the good dresses looked nice, but that’s totally boring!

The DJ Pony was totally awesome as was the Garbo reference by Rarity in her moment of despair while wallowing into a crazy cat pony.

I’ve never been a huge fan of Rarity so I wasn’t really looking forward to this episode at all, but in the end it turned out pretty decent considering it’s a Rarity episode.

Not even AnimeGAF can escape from Sonic.

Medaka Box 2



Ehhh, I'm still really not sure what to think about this...

Do we have any more confirmation on this being a single cour show?


Oh wow.

Stop that.

12 have been confirmed. But its Shueisha worst case 6 month break between series 1 and 2.

As long as something squeals it's all good.
Don't forget the banging.
Smells like a lot of weed man.

A lot of weed.
You got that right. Especially the newage jazzers now man. All the ones i'm friends with are so mello.
Cigarettes and sweat, I am pretty sure of that. Hitokage is lying as usual!
Oh thank goodness. I was starting to think 21st century jazz started going in the wrong direction that it was never intended to go. I mean, at least I don't think jazz is about dudes making out. It wasn't during my time.

This had some seriously aggressive ahoge. Instead of the cleavage being lumped into the shots like the last episode there were numerous instances of stray ahoge hanging into the frame to bounce around. Everything about this show except for Shiranui continues to be bland beyond all reason, and the monologue near the end of this episode is painfully dry and Zzzzzzzzzz inducing.

But that's the cult leader's concubines! There was no emphasis on the cult itself being a drug AND sex cult. All we saw of the followers was the drug emphasis.
I'm not say the cult is related to sex. Just that the cult happens to have a sex den for their glorious leader which Fujiko infiltrates as a concubine.
 
I have a feeling Medaka is gonna stay a romcom until it ends :lol

To the anguished screams of the manga fans.

Unzen and his henchmen are in the OP. Even if it's for the last few episodes, it will definitely go battle series.

Besides, the fact it's 1 cour should be enough anguished screaming from the manga fans :(
 

Envelope

sealed with a kiss
The amount of wrong in so few words cannot be matched.

No, I'm pretty sure I could think of something far worse if I tried. :3

Don't challenge Envelope, surely there is some other GAF sacred cow he can casually dismiss in a sentence.

Don't give me any ideas!
I didn't casually dismiss anything though, people keep misrepresenting my position. :(

I want my Envelope-Hix super villain team up!

The fuck man, I thought we were bros. :(

Don't listen to frostbyte. Best/ only worthwhile thing KyoAni ever did.

K-on > FMP

I personally want Envelope to start posting on gaming side just for some of the reactions.

I already post there sometimes!

"Ocarina of Time is terrible, I quit playing after that awful first dungeon." Or maybe "Mario 1-1 is a poor introductory level, I saw no reason to keep playing after that."

I feel like everyone is making fun of me. :(

There are probably enough super duper Zelda hipsters who believe that every Zelda made after LttP sucks to keep Envelope from getting totally eviscerated. He needs to say something like Planescape: Torment having terrible writing or Mario Sunshine being better than Mario Galaxy to truly incur comic levels of wrath.

Nicely done.
I really hope Envelope doesn't bear those opinions because I'd have to rage at him too.



oh god no. I haven't seen anyone have that opinion before and I hope I never see anyone with that opinion.
Thanks for the idea!
HeartCatch PreCure! 2



This show continues to own. Thankfully the mascot's aren't as annoying as Candy can be.

I didn't know you started this, but you made a good choice!

HeartCatch PreCure! 3



The monster-of-the-week design in this show's already much better thank the pile of shit we get in Smile PreCure known as Akanbe. The heart seed sequences on the other hand...

Yeah, the monsters have a lot more thought put into them in HeartCatch then in Smile Precure.

A Channel 1

I like it so far. Interested to see the relationship of Toru and the 2 new friends evolve.


So surely you agree that A Channel > Yuru Yuri?

I still say Cthullu girlfriend is in the lead.

Definitely.

Drool Girlfriend vs Zombie Girlfriend is a tight race right now. Will have to see how Ghost Girlfriend does later. Season of fetishes.

Zombie Saten > Ghost Yomi any day of the week.

nah

lol, that would be even worse than it just being a single cour

Why do you hate poor Medaka so much, she never did anything to you. :(

Well shit, this was actually pretty damn good. The animation was really well done and Sonic's shitty friend really didn't get in the way at all! 3.5/5 sonichu's

Just kill me now/make a furry lover.

I'd rather watch Kanon 2002 with their cute derpy faces than suffer through this. Is someone going to be post about Powerpuff Girls next?
