Is there a worse designed Gundam than the Gundam AGE?

NO OF COURSE NOT.

How is Asemu a corporal already? Do they hand out ranks like candy to children? How is he good at piloting the Gundam when he's only been in it THRICE?

Mobile Suit Gundam AGE 19

Wait, if the Vagan have the materials and funds to build their ridiculous Tekkaman mobile suits, why don't they siphon those funds toward settling Mars? Why bother taking over Earth at all? It seems ridiculously expensive and contrived.

Goddamn, you know a plot sucks when Marvin the Martian is more straightforward than these cheap ass Martian Successor rip offs.

Flit is the worst father ever. He CHOSE to send his son to a military academy. Like, Asemu didn't decide to go, FLIT MADE HIM GO. For a savior he is a downright warmonger and the inevitable proof at the end of the series that he was right will piss me off.

DANG ROMARY'S MOM IS HAWT. OH NO DIQUE'S DAUGHTER IS KIND OF HOT BUT WITH HIS NOSE. OH NO DIQUE HAD SEX WITH A WOMAN AND GOT HER PREGNANT NOOOOOOOOOO. AHAHAHA Gundam AGE-2 is in bird mode but with ye old Gundam head slapped on top you have to be joking me. Hahahaha.

"Mr. Woolf was my dad always a cold, uncaring ass who would send people to die in battle for his whims?"
"Kid, he forced two different ethnic groups to die for him, what do you think?"


Jajajajajajaja and this is the best part, get ready for part 3.



I'm glad you watched Nadesico first so you would not have to know this evil until you had ample exposure to anime's best.

That only make it more painful to watch.

Tried to watch some OreImo from where I dropped it. Lasted about 4 minutes, threw it away again.

Quite like the OP song though.

Oh, it seems that Production IG already made a promotional CM for Mushibugyou a couple years ago; maybe they'll be the ones dragged back for the anime.

So, Weekly Shonen Sunday promised 8 announcements and we got:

1. a new Detective Conan movie (predictable)
2. Zettai Karen Children: The Unlimited - Hyoubu Kyousuke (knew about it before the "reveal")
3. Sasami-san@Ganbaranai (barely counts as a WSS series, since the manga started long after the anime was announced)
4. Arata Kangatari ~Engaku Kougatari~ (I'll give them this one)
5. Kami nomi zo Shiru Sekai S3 (a pleasant surprise)
6. Hayate no Gotoku! (another nice surprise, though if it's S2 or Eyes S2 is unknown)
7. Silver Spoon (also predicted)
8. Mushibugyou

Well played.

This is the worst plan. Somehow the good guys exploded a large enough bomb to knock Mercury out of orbit. Sadly, this conclusion (that I've put off for far too long) is sort of a let down so far. There's some returning characters helping either side but given they were mostly incidental until now, there's no real weight to their actions. There's this big galactic showdown afoot but it's just hard to get excited about.

You should watch.....anything else Corvosol.
Anything. It doesnt matter. Except maybe Eiken. thats actually even worse.

As soon as I find a mecha anime to fill the hole Nadesico left in my life. I mean, yeah, Eureka Seven is good, but it's just not the same.

I'm pretty sure there is one somewhere.

Discount all pink mobile suits first.

Jajajajajajaja and this is the best part, get ready for part 3.

The mecha action is good and the characters are somewhat less awful, but it's still crap.
 
Alright so, long story short, I'm retiring from GAF. Not anything to do with you guys, just that posting here (and other places on the internet, including the IRC) constantly is a distraction that I can no longer afford. I may or may not come back later on down the line, but for right now I'm done. :(

Actually, I'll probably make the occasional post on Gaming if something big happens and maybe show up here to give quick impressions on what I'm currently watching, but nothing more. Just can't do it anymore.

Sasami, Haganai, and Minami-ke are still pretty good and I have no desire to watch Tamako 2. Maybe one of these days... Hopefully others here will be able to take on the SHAFT banner in my stead!

Well, you're probably gone already, but good luck in whatever ventures you decide to undergo. Sometimes I feel the same way, that wasting time on a message board would be much better used for something productive, and getting too attached to a bunch of people I only know through text is a bad idea.

Anyway, life takes priority, so have a good one.

Mobile Suit Gundam 19

Man! What an episode! Ryu proves once and for all he's a man's man by punching Amuro, Kai, and Hyato when they ALL deserve it. Then we get HAWT Seyla x Gundam action. Then crazy crazy crazy all over White Base. Ramba Ral is like, the nicest "villain" ever. And DAT EXIT. Oh man, when the music started and he jumped and OH MAN.

This was a good episode.

Yami to Boushi to Hon no Tabibito - 05

qxrOu5Ol.jpg

Eating broccoli is so very important, it takes nearly as much time as the heavy breathing scene from Star Driver.

Back to this again. Not-Lockon continues to be as mad as a brush while Incestia and the Lesbian Witch are captured by what almost look like the old man version of Gin from Gintama. By far the most important thing we learn though is that there a chet-girl whose name, I oddly forget because she never really mentions it at all. Certainly not over a dozen times anyway.

I can't really add anything more to this so I'll let Envelope do it for me.

As much as this show is beginning to cause physical pain, I still adore all the totally forced symbolism they love to add into it.

Edit: Hang on, hang on: What the hell is this?!

Still another episode to watch tonight fucks sake.

Minami-Ke is a pretty good show. It just so many seasons to catch up though so this might be a slow burn for me till I watch the new season.

It could be worse


Probably wasn't the best time to start posting random K-On art thinking about it.

It could always be worse!

I dunno. what other mecha anime have you watched besides AGE and Nadesico?

Viz posted a preview of Lagrange dub which their airing this weekend on the Neon Alley service, though since PSN is down...guess people cant watch it tonight...Though Izo and Kirius sound amazing, but Ive been pronouncing La Garite incorrectly.

She will probably say "perfecto!" or osme cutesy way of saying perfect. It could work I guess. Its no MARU!

Oh. You have just dredged up sweet memories from my past

A perfect ten. Thats the only rating I could possibly give Yami.

Currently watching: MSG, MSGA, E7, Rah Xephon
Have also watched: FMP/Fumoffu/TSR, Evangelion/Rebuild, Zoids NCZ, Gundam Wing, Gundam SEED, Gundam SEED Destiny, Martian Sucessor Nadesico.

I think that covers it.

I did not make it past the first five minutes of Linebarrels. The OP was horrid and the women were shrill.

I can heartily recommend GaoGaiGar if you've not seen it. It's nothing as complex as Nadesico and there's a fair chunk of episodes at the start where it's very much a saturday morning kids show but by the end it it just fantastic fun.

Plus that OP.

Edit: Oh there's Big O as well. With another equally good OP.

You forgot The Big O, you silly tomato.

I recommend the following for whenever you get around to it:
Armored Trooper VOTOMS
Getter Robo Armageddon
Shin Mazinger Z
GaoGaiGar
G Gundam
Koutetsushin Jeeg
Macross Plus
Armor Hunter Mellowlink
Giant Robo

edit: Mr.Jeff, you're all right.

I second GaoGaiGar. So much fun. DIVIDINGGGG DRIVERRRRRR

Also Outlaw Star is pretty cool and from the same era and Vandread came shortly after. Then theres KIDDY GRADE which is more recent but is so ridiculously fun to watch.

Tamako market 02

Anyway the simpson tamako market gif is officially VOID.

No yuri in sight after 2 episodes.

Man you people are blind as SHIT.

indeed, didn't expect mexicans in AnimeGaf.

Smile Precure! 6 - 12

New akanbe and new power up, Nao trasformation is my favorite and she's so cute when is afraid of bugs

I hate Candy

BEST GIRL.

Mugi and Yui look ok, the latter if you like angry eyebrows. Chet will certainly hate Mio in that and Ritsu does look rather off. Or should one say :awesome:?

To make up for it, here's another Ritsu that's pretty good.

Girl be sweating!

Hopefully due to Mio. :3
 
Chihayafuru 2 2:
Kana is awesome. She really made this episode great. Her interactions with Hanano (who also got some good development here) were pretty great. I also really enjoyed the moment when
Chihaya talked about how she wanted new members because of what happened in the previous year. And then after that great dramatic moment she runs off in dramatic fashion...right into a desk.

There was a really great mix of character development and comedy which flowed together perfectly. Just the kind of thing I want from Chihayafuru.

Ah! My Goddess 47

Belldandy gets turned into a demon by Marller infiltrating Heaven, which seems depressingly sterile and bureaucratic. That girl at the reception desk processing Belldandy's license looked fucking miserable.

So Belldandy now has to do evil things like jaywalk, wear sunglasses (Holy Bell also wearing sunglasses as well was a pretty funny touch) and read books at the bookstore without buying them in order for Keiichi to experience good fortune. But she can't bear it. So Peorth helps her. I'm not quite sure I understand how. Seems kinda like some deus ex machina rule they made up to turn her back into a goddess.

You'll be back one day.
no don't go :(

Sounds like Mysterious Girlfriend X but with bestiality.

Third this character :

Tamako%20Market%20-%2002.jpg


The appearance and the voice don't match ..i mean , really ?
This is not good.
Why isn't it?

Wow. This show must be really bad when even Chitose Get You didn't make you drop it.
I think that was the final straw in me curbing my consumption of terrible short shows.

Clearly this means he actually liked Chitose Get You.
The secret is out.
*reads up on libel laws*

You'll be glad to know that is all there is.

Okay, Gao Gai Gar it is. I was gonna go with Code Geass but the character faces are kind of off-putting to me. I'll just shelf it for another day.

You forgot The Big O, you silly tomato.

Oh man, how could I forget that I am one of the tomatoes?

*Brofist*


And it have my second most hated protagonist of all time in just 1 episode.

The description sounded so good, too.

GGG it is, I guess.

QUESTION: Though I won't be finishing it for some time, I'm thinking about which Gundam to watch after AGE. It can't be UC because I want to watch all of those in order. I was thinking either G Gundam or Gundam 00. Thoughts?

Eureka Seven 19

A really nice episode with a bit of a slow start. Holland is sinking to new levels of king jerkassery, Renton is proving he ain't nobody's nice guy, and Eureka reminds us all that green haired girls look cuter without hair decos.

Also there was a nightmare moment in the episode when Eureka had shorter hair and a scar and looked like the fugliest of her three curs.
