Looking for screencaps to post on whatthemovie (anyone else on this site?), I had to watch the Digimon movie by Hosoda again. What a beautiful film (short?).

I picked this gorgeous shot::
I should still have that VHS with all the Hosoda Digimen somewhere at home.


Obligatory Bokura no War Game > Summer Wars pimping by the way.

That was a very good episode, intriguing and it created a sense of tension. I enjoyed it.
The visuals are still not on the level of the first four episodes, I guess they never will be.

I guess Blue Exorcist was the most consistent A-1 show when it comes to art and animation (I think it took 13 episodes for the show to look a bit worse, and it still looked great).

Figure 17 got a full hour. I think that's the only TV anime that did though.
In recent years, there would be that, indeed, but also Project Blue Chikyû SOS, Katanagatari and Mnemosyne -Mnemosyne no Musume Tachi-. Aside from those though... yeah, you'd have to go all the way back to Yakyûkyô no Uta in 1977-1978...

One Piece: Episode of Nami

onepieceepnami.jpg


They did a really, really good job with the Arlong Arc in this movie/special. The animation for the fight scenes was great and I certainly don't remember the fights in the TV series being anywhere near as good but then again it's been several years since I last watched them so I could be wrong about that. This is definitely worth checking out for fans of the series.

it also reminded me that i should catch up sometime as i'm like well over 250 chapters behind on the manga now :(

I feel like I'm supposed to feel something for the shy, bullied, glasses-wearing, hime-cut Kana Hanazawa character. Unfortunately my heart belongs to Natsume.

GUNDAM SEED & DESTINY STUFF
To be fair, my first time through, so did I, but my reaction to her changed significantly after
her death
. Watching the show again, I actually appreciate her character a lot more. What I like about Meer is that she knows and admits that she's being used and that it won't last forever, and she doesn't care. She's screwed up and has serious self-esteem issues, but she's not stupid.

To make matters worse, I think that Meer is a much more sympathetic screwed up girl than Flay ever was, even after Flay's
unspoken character development in Rau's custody.
And the best part is that where
Flay's death has a ridiculous Super Mario Galaxy ending, Meer's is straightforward and I felt was actually somewhat moving.
I think meer is clueless ..she knows she is a tool of the power but they doesn't think about her actions at all ..but her biggest problem with me is that she is acting like lacus and is mostly doing her work ..she was a boring character ..the show writter never gave her a chance and she was outclassed by lacus return ( WHAT return even) .in all her appearances she play the role of the clueless girl unaware of the reality around her.

Flay was a typical girl ..but her breaking down when her dad died was logical .. Faly was so unlikeable ..but i could understand her train of reasonning .. she was selfish ..but she moved the lines and influenced everyone actions in a good way.i'd take Flay over meer anyday..

If meer did a better job with athrun or even questionned athrun reactions toward her she would have been better in everyone's eyes

I honestly think that Destiny Kira is cooler than SEED Kira was. Neither one is as cool as Athrun, but he does have the hotter girlfriend.
Well kira in destiny is actually sure of his ideas and knew what he was doing.

What I do find nifty about Gundam SEED is that the Freedom always winds up up against Gundams that have names contrary to the idea of Freedom. Justice, Providence, and Destiny, namely. It would've been nice if any of the characters piloting those suits, aside from Rau
and by proxy Durandal
had any connection to the ideas their suits embodied.
i agree , another missing opportunity for this anime.

Legend of the Galactic Heroes - 26 to 110 (END)

Watched all of that in the span of 10 days, basically two weeks for the entire things. Feared I'd burn out, but nope! The end, while a little abrupt, made perfect sense and left me with a warm and fuzzy sense of accomplishment.

It was awesome from start to end, I can't recommend it enough for about anyone who want a GOOD series. As in, masterpiece-like good.

Top this year

1.HXH R -by far the best thing to come out in the last few years but am not sure if it counts I'll go with that if it does.
2.Jojo's bizarre adventure-

honorable mentions


-Fate zero S2- had a few really awesome episodes also had a lot of mediocre episodes, the over hyped ending it was hyping/setting up for so long turned out disappointing, way too much focus on boring characters (saber,church guy& wine guy) over stand out characters like Rider, when it decided to get good it got quite awesome.

Legend of the Galactic Heroes - 10: Jessica's Battle

~ I was playing hard to get ~


Yang's nightmare came true: he became the war hero he never wanted to be. Even a private dinner gets interrupted by the patriotism he despises.
Once more the dark side of the 'democratic' FPA appears, as the anti-war candidate gets intimidated and killed.
I hope Yang and Jessica's romance comes to fruition in the future.

Anime is a beautiful thing.

Sadly, real girls are not so cute while puking.

I dunno. One of my friends puked once and it was crazy multicolored because she was drinking some sort of tropical mixture and she said "oooh I puked a rainbow!" and I was like d'awwww. Therefore while not usually a cute action, it can nevertheless be adorable under the right circumstances.

what the fuck
In this particular case, I'll take it as a compliment!

May that mad endeavour of mine be a testament to how good this thing really is.
Fifty straight hours of Reinhard and Yang being fabulous is too much.
