Log Horizon 14

Oh man, finally learning about the apocalypse! The way it ties into the game's story/lore, which alone is pretty interesting and well thought, is great.

Spoiler

Potentially losing your memories when dying and respawning is also quite the incentive to stay alive

, though not as much as YOU DIE IN THE GAME, YOU DIE IN REAL LIFE. Still, it's more creative than SAO's take on the issue.

Now I just need to learn about who created the game. Also, mage dude looks shady as hell. I'm pretty sure he can't be trusted.

Spoiler

Actually, I think his master/predecessor was the game's creator.

Shirobako 1
No way. This is too real!
Other than car CGI, the whole episode is solid and quite informative, especially to those who is new to the whole animation production thing. Also, that mohawk(?) guy...i assume he is based from the guy that caused GuP to be delayed? I know that Mizushima pissed off real bad to whoever that guy is.

Samurai Flamenco 4-6

This show is really silly and looks even sillier, but it's really not bad, I think it actually pretty good.

Samurai Flamenco 7

What a perfect gif.

Log Horizon 2 2
Poor Demikas, being bullied this hard. Not really fond of Tetra too be honest. She's way too attached. Playing idol is fine and all, but she comes off as way too annoying.


Already been done.

Whaaaaaaat the hell?

 

[Dresden]

That terraformars shop makes me uncomfortable due to how racist the original series is, but ymmv.

Anohana - Episodes 10-11 [END]

These episodes really cranked up the tears and sadness, sure the rocket launched and made some pretty coloured smoke

Spoiler

it didn't work, as Menma was still there, which I knew was going to happen

. Everyone feels terrible for what they've done and they let out all of their feelings that have been bottled up the entire time. Some of which were more obvious because they've been making their feelings known but others like Tsuruko never really did and it all came out at once,

Spoiler

didn't even realise that it was Anaru that she had the problem with.

The final scene of hide and seek was...odd to say the least.

Spoiler

The were shouting so that they could see her again then suddenly everyone could see her. I called it! I knew she'd come back to lif...hold on she's transparent. It was just so they could all see her say goodbye. On the plus side the whole thing with Menma's wish bought them all together again as friends and finally they let go of all the bad feelings they had towards each other! What a happy ending!

It was a good show, started out a bit slow but definately picked up around halfway and it was incredibly charming.

I'll give it a rating of "I could only see 7 out of the 10 flowers that they saw that day".

Just need a crossover with that pedo basketball show and we can have the most offensive anime of all time.

 

[cajunator]

I thought Animegaf loved tiny tophats.

I dont mind them!

Man, Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso is so fcking beautiful. Very likeable characters, the art direction is top notch and it has some great music. Expect lots of humor, drama and romance. I'm a sucker for these kind of anime. ;_;

For people who aren't bothering watching the first episode (shame on you!), at least watch the OP!

It really does look quite well. Looking forward to it.

So has anybody tried to mount a defense of how terribly racist Terraformars is or what?

Whoever designed the roaches in Terraformars should have gone for something less humanoid and African cavemen. Something like the roaches in Mimic would've been more terrifying.

[Midonin]

Two things.

All this talk of basketball anime and we're forgetting Basquash?

And my belief is that Samumenco 7 wasn't the point where the show went off the rails. It's where it fully realized its true calling as a tokusatsu series and went all in rather than teetering around the edges of it.

they have to get to the big game tomorrow

 

[DiGiKerot]

It's kind of worrying that, when I accosted Jonathan Clements with my copy of his book on the history of anime earlier today, he signed it To The Worlds Biggest Guskou Budori Fan. Whelp.

But, meh, there's nothing at this years SLA that's especially worth talking about until Giovanni's Island tomorrow, I suppose. Well, I guess I saw the K movie, Missing Kings, but that sure is pretty much just three more episodes of K fashioned into something vaguely resembling a movie, with a dopey cliffhanger stuck onto the end. The most remarkable thing about it is probably the lengths in terms of physical contortions and camera work they go to in order to provide gratuitous Kukuri pantsu during the movies opening.

Any excuse for you to put Millennium Actress out there and for me to maybe get someone to watch Goldfish Warning!.

Some of the anime on there already have loads of love though.

Formal announcement for GF(B) is up.

They still have a few more shows to announce, and I hope one of them is Amagi. I want to check it out, but like I said, only once I'm sure no one's picked it up. Though by this Thursday, all the shows I wanted to see will have debuted.

Shigatsu wa kimi no uso 1
This is a really pretty show. Yeah, i like this.

Psycho Pass 2
Hmm, Akane turn into such a badass. Well, after all that shit she's been through, it should be. Also, that twist after the ending song. Yeah, it looks like we get Makishima MK. II

So, there's been a very surprising announcement today. Sunrise has announced that RightStuf will be releasing some old Gundam anime, starting with the original series and Turn A Gundam. Found out from here.

Worthless if they don't do Blu-ray.

Ojamajo Doremi - 19

Two nincompoops kidnap Hadzuki very easily. Did that girl never have a talk about strangers with her parents? It's really surprising with such a dark premise for an episode, they make it more comedic than you think it'd be.

I mean, for crying out loud. This girl edits the grammar on the ransom note, and even attempts to clean up the place she's being held at. Girl, read the situation would you? Then there's the scene where Doremi and Aiko are trying to stop the car she's in only to keep transforming it into various things as well.

It's really strange to see the kidnappers made out to be just misunderstood comedy performers and them being the ones learning a lesson here and not Hadzuki. With this being a children's show, you'd think she would, given the entire scenario.

More time quakes and now we have spooky ghosts. Yui can seemingly activate the cube (and apparently can gather information from it) at any time. Looks like things will start going in motion next episode.

I know there was a Romance of the Three Kingdom anime that was released back in 2012. I can hardly find any information about it though. Did people like it? Is it actual decent?

It is, and I edited my post to be a little more detailed. Don't know if I did a good job, but I tried!

Worthless if they don't do Blu-ray.

I agree. Hopefully there will be news on the format soon.

would be nice for if they release Turn A and G Gundam.

I hear that the dub changed the story of this episode so that the kidnappers are in fact relations of Hazuki's and that Doremi and Aiko misunderstood that and thought she was kidnapped. That's what you're going to get in a 4Kids dub mind you!

Glad to see that you're watching this again though!

Good god, dude is ridiculous. Catching an arrow midflight and shooting it straight back to the owner was some Beserker level shit.

God damn. Dude is superhuman.

This is my guilty pleasure of the season. I dropped the other show, the one with the "you've revealed yourself cracker" because it was shit.

I have to keep watching this. I mean, I promised Hito I would as part of our watchbet, and I'm not going back on my end of the deal.

And yeah, I heard about that with the 4Kids change as well. Though I think the change makes sense in this case, given the way it all transpired. I can see why they'd be afraid of keeping the story of that episode as it is.

Though part of me wonders that, if they were afraid, why not just not air the episode at all? They actually do that for another episode later on down the line IIRC.

I need to update my anime backlog. It's a valuable thread as it tells me what I need to watch. I'll have an extremely long period of time where I'll have nothing to do but watch anime in the coming months (which will last for years). I wouldn't mind hearing some recommendations of obscure classics I should watch.

The end is just the beginning, and things work out for both Sawaki and Kei.


So this is an interesting little show. Looks different than most other animes I've seen and it's a bit educational. Mostly focused on sake and fermented food though. It's maybe not the topic I want to learn that much about, but it's enjoyable enough.

The characters are interesting enough, and the comedy is ok the times there is comedy. Then there's the festival episodes though... Those are just strange and with fanservice out of nowhere.

The OP is an upbeat track that reminds me of the Usagi Drop OP for some reason.

It's not as good as Silver Spoon, which is the closest thing I've seen to this (Well... The microbe stuff could maybe be compared to Il était une fois... la vie or something...), but it's interesting enough that I'll give 3.5/5 microbes to this one:

I may watchbet you to watch the rest of it as well! >

As for 4Kids cancelling the episode. Who knows! By the time they were dubbing it, it was 2007 and they were already becoming less and less relevant.

Edit: Also the episode that was not aired by 4Kids was Episode 30 for honestly far less severe things than what happened in Episode 19.
