The credit text seems to be interlaced, looking closer.
So the DVD might also have been 480i or it might be because of the de-interlacing. Still doesn't explain why they chose that to begin with. Pretty poor.

Master troll? Give him a furry avatar.
That would be unfitting, he criticised cute girls, not furry, he was therefore forced to have the kind of avatar he insulted people for having.

I got a mixed feeling of that AND the Kid Icarus shorts. Man, a real anime with Palutena would kick ass.

Of course, only reason I even thought that was green haired girl.

SHAFT should have ditched mahou shoujo for the new show and went mythological. A thinly-veiled Palutena ripoff would be fine too.

They're fairly soulless and derivative, and simply not aesthetically pleasing in general. It looks like the work of an amateur Pixiv artist, although what with KyoAni banking on that Chuuninbyou blah blah shit which was basically created by a random non-industry person with extraordinarily garish animu artistic sensibilities, maybe the bar is now lower for everyone.

Do I even need to accuse SHAFT of trying to gin up a second Madoka at this point? I imagine it was everyone's first thought when they saw the Prism Nana characters.

well... that's not true.

And Prism Nana's designs are rather bland, but it's more due to the garish outfits and the stump legs than anything else.

well... that's not true.

I admit to intentionally exaggerating the truth, but I thought that the existence of Chuuninbyou whatever was the result of a contest that solicited either plot, character design, or both.

I assumed that this would be the Gurren Lagann to Madoka's Evangelion.

The Chūnibyō Demo Koi ga Shitai! LN was one of the honorable mention recipients in the first Kyoto Animation Award program. When it was published by KyoAni, they provided it with illustrations by studio animator Nozomi Ousaka, who is responsible for its character designs.

Well, he is a fancy corndog.

I certainly get a raging fancy corndog looking at that Erio avatar.

Okay, I retract my previous statement, then. When the first contest was announced to have no winner, I somehow assumed that the contest wasn't for professionals within the industry.

LN might as well mean "random anime fan was selected to create the series", though.
 
Gundam Wing 21-25

Gundam Wing is definitely hitting its stride. None of the episodes have been bad and everyone is just really good. Its starting to meet Age as my favorite Gundam. The deep character interactions and their motivations as they change dynamically as truths are revealed is really well done. The characters among each faction and how they interact with one other, yesterdays enemies are now allies wholly belieavable and satisfying with the possibilities it enabled. Specifically
Lady Une and her inner battle with what she wants and who she wants to support was was pretty intense. Really the best female in a mech series thus far. I liked how she utilized the gundam pilots skills, interacted and trusted them, and even saved them at the end game after realizing that what she wanted was not in line with what the new Oz and Rommahfella foundation wanted. Her death was tragic and really emotional, just as emotional as Trowa's sacrifice when confronted with Quatre. I really hope that somehow he is still living and they can all resolve their differences.
I wish they were even more episodes than the 49 as I abandon all these characters. Milliardo Peacecraft and Trieze need way more screentime as we go on. I hope.

Well, KyoAni has basically said that they're just using the first volume of the LN as a base and will be coming up with much of the material for the anime themselves.

(They also said "There's a surprise planned like Haruhi's shuffling episodes". I wonder what it'll be.)

See, it's obvious you're out of your element because not many people here seriously talk like that. You're doing nothing but caricature.

Yeah, if he was a legit anime fan, he'd know to say mai waifu, not my waifu. Weeaboos don't halfass it when pretending that we're proud nihonjin.

Maybe the surprise is that it's a fourth season of Full Metal Panic! after the first episode.

This is a very good thing that I did not recognize about the picture until now.

Is this a hilarious coincidence or was it done on purpose?

take this K-On! (too bad the lightning in this scene is not very 256 colors.gif friendly)

I just started Sayonara Zetsobou Sensei because there will be Joshiraku this and the next weeks. And Joshiraku is cute and funny and stuff, I like it a lot but Zetsobou is the real deal! And it helps that I forgot many jokes, though I don't know if it really a good thing or not.

This is my favorite so far! So cute!

Yes, this is an excellent OP. Most people hate it here, but they don't know good music :(

Of course, only reason I even thought that was green haired girl.

Shaft Palutena was a godsend. I seriously have a hard time believing that's the last we have seen of it.

So the DVD might also have been 480i or it might be because of the de-interlacing. Still doesn't explain why they chose that to begin with. Pretty poor.

Tokyo Mew Mew is long, but its well worth your time if you are a mahou shoujo fan. Very ,very cute.

The full version of Marble is definitely better than the full version of Try Unite. It's probably one of the better anime OPs in full version. Full out amazing near the end. I liked Try Unite more initially but goddamn at this.

Haven't heard Marble yet (still on season 1), but Try Unite is godlike. I look forward to listening to it when I start the second season.

The second half of Marble is godlike. Seriously godlike the way it builds into the first half. It's really really impressive, one of the better crescendos I've heard in awhile, regardless of genre. I'm actually surprised how much I like it.
