Seriously guys, rather than create fake brands, anime producers really should just get into the product placement game. I can show you the PNL statements on this Windows 8.1 tablet.

It is odd. You'd think that would be a perfect way to help fund anime. Though maybe that says something about brands in Japan not wanting to be associated with anime. Or does Japan have more stringent rules about product placement?

Anime sucks!

Welcome to the Spring-Summer thread!

Yeah, I wonder why that is. Except for the blatant product placement, you'd think they would want Kirito to use a iPhone or the KuroBall guys to take showers while drinking PIcari Sweat or whatever to get the nerds to buy their shit. Maybe the nerd market is just not worth the hassle of trying to work out all these deals. lol

After seeing a motherfucking Oreimo train in the other thread, I doubt that's the case.

Bjergsen is the greatest midlane in the world
You go get your microscope to read the new AnimeGAF thread and sure enough, there's DIO.
 
AnimeGaf's tradition of bad thread titles continues, now we even have one that causes the thread to be displayed incorrectly on mobile! Well done.
 
Its really bad for collectors like me.

Now I feel like I should just save my money and purchase more BD imports. Lack of English dubs and subtitles are the least of my worries with newer series today.

Wasn't Pizza Hut all over Code Geass?

For the Japanese releases. I know Bandai Entertainment took off the Pizza Hut logos for the English dub, and I can only assume the same is true when playing the Japanese track. Don't have immediate access to the DVDs to check.
 
Oh hey! A new thread! You know what that means!

About half of what I got in the thread before the last one. Need to watch some better shows.

Wait, there's more Monogatari this season? How many shaft shows are being aired at once? Wow.

I'll start Bakemonogatari really soon :}
 
For the Japanese releases. I know Bandai Entertainment took off the Pizza Hut logos for the English dub, and I can only assume the same is true when playing the Japanese track. Don't have immediate access to the DVDs to check.
PIzza hut was still all over Darker than black too and it's wasn't much better than what was in code geass.

Hello, new world!

I haven't been watching anything lately, though got round to finally finishing off Kill la Kill the other day.

I guess it ended about as well as I could have expected to - what, with the schizophrenic storytelling, and it turning into something that it didn't at all allude to at the beginning. Without going into any great detail (though I might eventually at some point), I'd just say that my experience could largely be summed up as "varying levels of disappointment."

I have no fucking life.

New thread woooo!


Love Live! 11

Honoka literally collapsing from trying too hard
? Oh boy, it's like that one episode of Fresh Precure all over again. Nice bait-and-switch with the episode title.

Wow I still made the top 20. And I thought I was posting less to focus on teaching and fungal allergen stuff. Guess I cant just leave anime alone.

Team Haikyu! prime coverage.

And I just started posting in the other thread too.

Isshuukan Friends so good.

Finally bought a CR sub.
 
Black Bullet Episode 2

First have was pretty intense though the loli count is approaching rather obnoxious levels, which will make this a frightening experience if they keep adding more. Why cant it handle them in the manner that mokushiroku arisu does?


I largely like the political and fight for human rights campaign in the upper echelon of the gov't going on as well as the run ins with Rentarou and the antagonist, everything else is weak.

That OP is like the Monkey's Paw curse of Anime OTs, I guess. Everybody wished and wished and the wish turned against them.

I didn't break 100 posts last thread. I never break 100 posts anymore.

I should get a Crunchyroll subscription some time. Watching in SD gets rather depressing after a while.
 
Awwww. We aren't going to call it OT2 like it deserves? Do you want anarchy to take over?

Ah man.... I didn't think I posted that much.

Edit: Whew. At least I made it onto the first page of the OT this time. :)
