I'm surprised they only went for a double layer dakimakura. Should have went for triple layer which includes taking off undergarments and charge an arm for it. Mad money rolling.

is really fun.
Im about 7 episodes in and I love the world building so far.
The Simouns are really cheap cg but designed well.
I also find the gender swapping idea to be interesting.
Theres a chart for shiki hair.

I was really surprised to find out Simoun was anime-original since the world has a lot going on that feels like it's a concept that would be explained more in-depth in a source text. Things like the series repeatedly indicating that males run the world, despite everyone in Simulacrum spending a substantial chunk of their lives female, felt like there should be a convoluted backstory behind it.

Well there aren't a whole lot of actual threads in the OT Community section. Most of this section is made up of old locked threads.

I meant that the traffic to Anime-GAF threads would be so high that we'd need our own forum section with multiple anime-related topics in order to slow down such rapid-paced discussion. It would kinda suck, though.

I have a feeling that this show is setting itself up for the biggest mindfuck bullshit ending ever.

"Even in such a far back looking world, there are still things that are resolved by violence". Uhh... what the fuck does this mean? What could this possibly be saying? That the world looks old fashioned but there's still things solved with violence? Erm, okay, but literally every period in history has had issues dealt with through violence. So your little quote there isn't nearly as deep as you think it is; in fact, it's quite stupid. Holy shit, I think I just described this whole show.
This show has now brought furries into the mix. Yes, that's right; there are now furries. A fox girl, full with fox ears and tails (yes, that's plural; she actually has multiple tails). She's attacked by samurai of the princess of the Bamboo Forest, but saved by Hatsuki. Oh, that reminds me; wasn't the last time we saw Hatsuki in the current timeline the time she was on the island? How the fuck did she get to a fucking bamboo forest?

The princess is Hatsumi. Well, she's not Hatsumi but kinda is. She claims to have grown up in the forest and been the princess there since birth, but she looks exactly like Hatsumi (though I think her eyes are a different color) and even has the same comb. She says the comb is some old heirloom or something. So she's connected to Eve/Hatsumi in some way. Here's where the foundation for a really fucking nonsensical ending is being built, folks.
Then the princess and her samurai are attacked by voluptuous sex ninjas. Can't say more about them yet. I probably won't ever be able to.
Ah yes.
Now youre getting to the meat of it!
This is a fine way to spend New Years.
Yami is special and you are witnessingthis....thing.[/QUOTE]

The pieces of the puzzle are starting to come together. Much in the same way as a three-year old solves a jigsaw puzzle by gluing all of the pieces together into some gooey, disgusting mold of shit-blob.

I realized I've asked this before, but the question bears repeating: how in the fuck did Hatsuki become such a master of the sword? She probably never even fucking used one before, now she's carving up a bunch of boob ninjas who were able to overwhelm a group of trained samurai with ease. WHAT THE FUCK?! Oh wait, I think I've got it: it's because the sword is "magic", isn't it? And what the fuck was happening to the ninjas when she cut them? They just disintegrated! Since when was Hatsuki able to do that?

Then the princess gave Hatsuki the comb. I'm pretty sure they made out at this part. Then fox furry and Ririsu were hanging out and then fox furry went to get a drink, and she then somehow (magic) stumbled into Garugantua's world. This guy should be a Sailor Moon villain. He's so flamboyant he's fucking dancing while talking about his quest for infinite power or world domination or I don't even fucking remember what he wants.

Then the show goes back to Garugantua and the scene at the end of ep.4. He wants the secret to eternal life. Pardon me, good sir, but aren't you, you know... ONE HUNDRED FUCKING YEARS OLD?! And you're still young as fuck. Whatever the secret to eternal life is, I think you've more or less figured it out. Ririsu gives him his own world (book) as a reward for that stupid princess in ep.4. He then claims he wants Eve as his bride. I guess this is to make up for fucking stabbing her and murdering her? Jesus Christ.

I don't know. I don't know. I. Don't. Know. I don't know I don't know I don't know I don't know I don't know. I don't fucking know.
 
Well it's 2013 for me ..my bottle of "bordeaux" 2007 is empty .. so i guess it's time to go to sleep.

BUt before that Merry Chris happy new year #animegaf !

I wish you all a lot of Cg animation you all seems to love and plenty of moe girls for the future ...
 
This is where a link to ANN would go if it wasn't down, but Hataraku Maou-sama! is slated to be airing in spring.

Devil King Sadao is only one step away from conquering the world when he is beaten by Hero Emilia and forced to drift to the other world: modern-day Tokyo. As "conquering the world" are the only skills the Devil King possesses—and are obviously unnecessary in his new situation—he must work as a freeter to pay for his living expenses!

Probably one of my favorite episodes out of the entire series. There wasn't a lot of attention given to Sae and Hiro, which is fine considering
they'll be gone soon enough when graduation comes around
, which left us with focusing in on Yuno, Miyako, Nazuna, and Nori. It's already been established that Miyako is pining for Yuno, so any cute moment where Yuno lavishes her warms my heart. Yuno really stepped up in becoming a supporter for Miyako when
she injured her hand
, and it was quite endearing when she wanted to be by her side throughout most of the episode.

Another example of close they are was the scene where
Yuno suddently pulled the sign tapped to her back and flipped it to the other side to see the hidden message Miyako wrote for her.
I doubt the other girls would come to that conclusion as fast as Yuno did.


Man, talk about moving fast! It just seemed like it was a few episodes ago that I was just finding little hints of a possible romance before it was thrown right at my face in this ep. I absolutely love screencaps 3,5, and 6. Nori has that boyish, sportish aura about her similar to Miyako but is far more straightforward and lacks the aloofness of her senior. Pairing her with Nazuna (who in my eyes is year 1 Yuno) was so easy it practically felt their characters were intended to be together. I really, really hope to see another season after this because I would love to see their relationship get to the level of Sae and Hiro's.

Gundam 0080 6 FIN

Wow, even though I knew it happened, Bernie's death was rough. I do like how neither Chris nor Bernie were aware of Al during the encounter either. Sometimes that tests suspension of disbelief in other shows where pilots do.
I certainly see why this is so well received too. It's very much deserving of the praise even beyond dat mecha porn.

I think it was Articalys mentioned it might be interesting taking a look at the top 10 of the "Wall of Shame" for the entirety of 2012 and while I didn't do that and I don't mean to be picking on cajunator or anything but since he's pretty much always the most prevalent poster I thought it might be interesting to just add up his post count for the whole 2012 year.

Starting with the Winter 2012 thread and going to the Fall 2012 OT3 thread cajunator has made a whopping 14,195 posts! If you include the posts he's made as of this post in this thread as well then it adds up to 14,283 posts!

Oh, speaking of Chihayafuru, I just remembered that someone made a set of Girls und Panzer karuta-style cards, though they're meant for a different style of karuta game called Iroha Karuta.
The full set can be found here, though it's a pretty huge image so be wary.

Haha, that's actually pretty neat, thanks for sharing this.

Now that I'm back home from various family visits, it's time to catch up on anime shopping.

Last but not least, some music to drive tanks by:

I got to hear the full version of Katyusha and it is great! I'm thinking I might just pick this up as well. I've said it before but Girls und Panzer totally caught me off guard and I think it's a really great and entertaining show.

Crunchyroll's gone ahead and gathered up a large collection of new year's greetings from various shows, companies, and mangaka to take a look at. I like these two from Sunrise, one with a bunch of their shows and one Phi Brain themed:

Some good looking artwork there. The girls all look very nice in their kimonos, very pretty designs.

Incredible. At this rate, we'll need a forum section just for us in a couple years :lol

Thanks for taking the time to compile this.

Sure! It did take a little while but old copy and paste helped a bit. It is kind of interesting to see when different members joined or to read different peoples reactions to some more well known shows, such as Code Geass or School Days, when they were first airing.

Which thread was the start of the Jexhius boom?

I'm not sure and Jexhius himself could probably provide the definitive answer but just taking a quick look it seems to be maybe in Spring of 2010.

So what happened in 2010 to cause this revolution?

Not sure but it seems to be that some of the more higher post count members joined that year.

Goddamn it. Why are kimonos like, the hottest clothing ever designed?

WHY???

Haha, well the designs are all very beautiful that's for sure. While I've never worn one personally they do seem to be a bit difficult to put on though. By oneself anyway.

The manga translations haven't gone too far into the plot, but I've liked what little I've read so far. It isn't life-changing or revolutionary, but the perspectives of the characters as a poor, fast food part-time working devil king and an office lady heroine are pretty funny.

I just read the first chapter of the manga and it was alright. With a good adaptation the anime could be a decent time waster

The MC is pretty funny

That was me! Though maybe he did too earlier and I just missed it.

And holy cow, cajunator almost had as many posts just in these threads as I have total!
Never mind the fact that most of my posts came from 2012 anyways...
 
A Certain Magical Index 1

Kamijo seems like a pretty cool main character. Unfortunate the female characters are quite annoying. Index especially, why her personality like that. Electricity abilities totally wasted on the zapper girl, though at least it looks cool. Like the visuals and musics for this anime a whole lot, especially the OP and the background music. Anyway cant wait to see where this goes. Dub is good.

Ah and its finally new years here on east coast usa, glad to be with you all through these threads for 2012, and I guess hope 2013 is just a fun too.
