Hmm, I don't really like it. :-/ To explicate would make me sound like an old man yelling at the kids these days to get off of his lawn. I guess I'll just nod in general agreement with Jexhius and Branduil in this and the P&SwG thread.

Well there's still Kuragehime to wait for. I wish there was a trailer or something though.

I haven't looked at the thread, but I'll just say that like that it really is a standard Power Puff Girl episode in overdrive. It's like a mimetic nostalgia, because I can't imagine that they're actually referencing old 90s American cartoons.

 

[Risette]

Your avatar is glorious. I ought to change to one like that when i watch it.

I waited until P&S to ditch that Ketsui avatar everyone kept complaining about :lol I knew it would give me plenty of avatar material.

 

[Infinite Justice]

Yeah, I usually don't laugh during that little reference but that scene had me cracking up :lol

But yeah, Max is awesome. He gets a lot more attention in the coming eps too.

Ever since that fight in 18 yea Max is like a god. Should be interesting.

gonna continue soon.

 

[Haly]

I'll make you one once I start watching banner.

 

[InfiniteNine]

Sharp, much too sharp! If Jinai is not a monster his sword surely is a monster! :lol

 

[facepalm007]

Panty & Stocking is awesome. I was still cautiously optimistic before the airing, but it's great.

Totally agree with you there!! I couldn't help but to think of the Power Puff Girls when watching it though. Either way this is going on my "keep watching" list.

 

[InfiniteNine]

That I am since that's what I thought Hito meant by Black Lion dub. Some quality lines near the end here. :lol

 

[firehawk12]

I'll be honest; I never even liked Powerpuff Girls. This was one of those things, like pogs or breakdancing or those Pokemon cards that psychotic kids would stab each other over, that I never "got" even when I was at the proper age to appreciate it. So the art style doesn't really appeal to me, and the aggressive (and presumably intentional) stupidity doesn't really either, so I don't have a hook here. Blah blah blah, they don't make dem Japanese perverted violence toons like they used to, blah blah blah.

Damn, I should make a Beneej Spoor avatar. Now there's an animu avatar I could wear with pride, if only I were half decent at making avatars. :lol

That's fair enough. If the frantic/manic animation doesn't do anything for you and you hate the content, then there's not much there.

Personally, I don't mind the content because I feel like it's just a vehicle for the animation... in the same way that PreCure is "fabulous" even though it's a magical girl show. And anyway, there are much more vulgar and explicit sex comedies anyway, so even on that front I'm relatively unphased. :lol

 

[luka]

I couldn't wait for him to kick the bucket. Lamest named character in the show. And yeah, its awesome that Hikaru acknowledges Max's god-tier piloting ability in casual settings too.

"fuuuuuuuu shit just got real! bail us out Max!"
"No problem sir, lol"

I kind of feel bad about it but I was somewhat relieved when

Spoiler

Kakazaki died

. Kind of like trimming the fat to focus more on the characters that matter (Max).

This was actually around the point in the show that I really started hating Minmay.

So many people watching Macross makes me happeh. I should get back to 7 and power through the last 5 episodes tonight.

That's a good thing though! One of my favorite cartoons.

::re-reads post:: ^-^ I should've worded that my post differently... It's one of my favorite American cartoons as well.

They don't make cartoons like they used to...

 

[Branduil]

To be honest Powerpuff Girls was funnier than P&S.

I see we lost another one. There should probably be something in the OP about not talking about that.

 

[firehawk12]

So it's InfiniteNine on the left and luka on the right?

:lol

So guys I'm debating whether to buy some more doujinshi next or make my first H-manga order. I don't really know how much the h-manga would cost though (with shipping and stuff) which is why I'm still not sure about it.

:x

 

[Risette]

I just watched Occult Academy EP11....

What.

 

[Nonoriri]

I just watched Occult Academy EP11....

Man I have to catch up on that show.

....or not.

 

[InfiniteNine]

They have TayuTayu at erogeshop for about $24, but you could probably get it cheaper elsewhere.

Yeah I found Tsundero and that one at some places but I kinda want to buy at least 5 at once.

Which is why I'll probably use a proxy service.

Why would you want to own that kind of stuff?

Why wouldn't I?

If you're far in (over half) I'd say go ahead and finish it, but damn I feel bad for recommending this to people early on in the summer season :x It started good...

I'm on episode 7 or something. So yeah I'll probably finish it.

 

[Lafiel]

Maybe I'm just jealous as my mother would never let me bring that kind of stuff in this household.:lol

I'm thankful i never got around to taking your recommendation!

::facepalm::

Boo. Occult Academy is still probably my top summer show. Maybe that says more about the summer season than anything else, but oh well.

 

[Dresden]

You poor souls who watched Occult Academy. I'm thankful the only new show I finished over the summer was Senba2.

Does Maya stop being such an abusive bitch later on?

 

[InfiniteNine]

Why wouldn't I?

Doujinshi is fun!

Tsundere is best dere?
Seriously, it's just a coping mechanism for her relationship with her distant/abusive father. In the same way that Bunmei is spineless because he only did what his mother wanted him to do.

 

[Risette]

So jealous of that faceplate.

 

[KuwabaraTheMan]

I've only seen through Episode 3, but I guess from the sound of things, it's probably not worth watching the rest of it. I liked the premise, but the execution seemed rather lacking.

 

[Lafiel]

So jealous of that faceplate.

He captured us both in a single picture!

 

[flawfuls]

The best doujinshi is Densha de D aka initial D with trains and home of this:

It's such a beautiful moment in context. Apparently there are 29 volumes of it so far. I so wish I could read it English.

Retake is also pretty cool.

 

[El Sloth]

Holyshit at the MULTI-TRACK DRIFTING. :lol Will I be lost if haven't read Initial D?

 

[mAcOdIn]

You're wise not to comment until you've finished.

Regarding Giant Robo, yeah it seems that way. It really is an odd show. If I end up not liking it I won't blame anyone for it as I had a good idea what it was from the cover but it does seem more nuanced than what it is. An old-school take on the giant robot theme yet dark enough that I honestly don't know if when a character's held in the air being electrocuted if he'll die or not, that's just, well, weird for a giant robot show. So it has this tone that I don't know if it works for me yet or not but it also says I shouldn't dismiss it until it really gets started either. I should have the second disc, maybe further, finished tonight.

It's too bad Spoor isn't like buffalo, and you can't just string it together a bunch of times to make a sentence. Or can you? Spoor Spoor Spoon Spoor, Spoor!

Damn you! Damn Spoon, that's what the text looked like on my TV ok? I only have a 32inch, I'm thankful I got 4 out of 5 letters right.

Although I don't think stringing together Spoor would be all that interesting even if it could be done, she'd be too fun to just shoot the shit with and you really need a diverse language for that, if that was missing she'd just by eye candy. I bet every task on her ship is awesome from combat all the way down to deciding who has latrine duty each day. Any of those slackers on her ship wanting off her ship should know I'd gladly take their place.

See, at least you are aware of the problem and ready to address this defect. Meanwhile I owe Right Stuf forever (I already buy everything from them, though...) for bringing the remasters of Revolutionary Girl Utena over, and exposing it to more attention than it would probably get if I just yelled at you all to watch it. Though I still would have yelled at you all to watch it anyway, probably.

I like Right Stuf, I won't pretend they're the cheapest, Amazon and Deep Discount usually beat them unless it's a sale item, but I recognize the fact that anime's a niche hobby so I like to buy stuff from companies that reinvest in that hobby in some way. Funimation or Bandai don't really care whether it's Amazon or Right Stuf that sells an item and Amazon isn't going to do anything anime related with any profit they make of a sale but Right Stuff will go around and bring over Aria or something with their profit, so I like to buy from them even if everything they do isn't my cup of tea.

And yeah, I'd like to think I'm aware of all my defects, not that I plan to address all of them!

I just watched Occult Academy EP11....

What.

Haha, I think the show sucked but I actually like the fact I felt the same way. I don't think it redeemed the whole show or anything but after 10 episodes of being bored off my ass it kicks it into this insane alterniverse and gives people magical transformations and shit, kinda made me feel a little better having watched the other 10 episodes. Had this happened in the first episode the show still would have sucked but it also wouldn't have had any shock appeal.

You poor souls who watched Occult Academy. I'm thankful the only new show I finished over the summer was Senba2.

Does Maya stop being such an abusive bitch later on?

Woah, woah, woah. Maya was kind of a bitch but she's also the only tsundere on the planet with reason to be a bitch and that's because the man she's been cast to act alongside really was a total fucking stooge. You feel bad for the guy in Shana or the Familiar of Zero because they're not really that stupid, not really useless and what they say that sends them into a tirade isn't generally stupid, but Bunmei on the other hand was a total fucking moron, 100% He needed abuse, he needed more abuse than he received and I never once felt she went over the line with him because he deserved it pretty much every damn time.

Seems real unfair to just always lame the blame at the girls' feet when sometimes it is the male character's fault.
