Glad to see more people watching and enjoying One Piece Movie 6. Not only is it my favourite One Piece movie, I'd say it's my favourite anime related thing about One Piece.

Movie 6 is good, but its not the same after you have met Brooke and Franky
It feels like something is missing, and Strong World or even movie 9 are probably the best representation of the current crew in a movie so far

I can't comment on Movie 9 because I haven't seen it due to not liking the arc it was based on, but Strong World wasn't as good as I was expecting it to be. It wasn't bad, but it still felt like just another One Piece movie.

It did look quite nice (I preferred the art in Movie 6 though) but the outfits were pretty dumb, like they were trying to outstupid the wii game outfits.

Join the superior middle ground pool then. I was the first to propose the enjoy 1st half, hate 2nd half.

Branduil said:
That's not really the middle ground, exactly.

My line of thinking is that he'll love the hell out of the awesome first half so much that the hate of second half will be diminished, but not enough to make him think it was enjoyable overall. He'll end up thinking it's an average/meh movie.

Buy cheap 10$ headphones and replay when broken. From my experience, this shitty stuff will *always* break. Not worth a high price. And nine months, lol. Mine are lucky to go for half the time.

I do this and then return them and exchange for new ones every few months.

There can only be Love or Hate

I thought that last scene was actually a good use of Mai. She acted totally in character yet we got to see a different side of her. It was funny to see two different characters get a chance to react to each other.

One day it's just some girl no one cares about.

Then one day it'll be your waifu doing human things like trying to find love in a life that doesn't involve you.[/QUOTE]
My waifu would never stoop so low!
 
Why would you ever use $10 headphones :(.

Go buy some decent headphones. At least get yourself a decent mid-range option. My beater pair are Creative Aurvana Lives which have the same drivers as the pricier Denon D-1001's but recupped (and way more comfortable IMO) for $50 (unfortunately they are $99 pretty much everywhere now). I've had these CAL's for 2 years now and they are my go to chuck-in-the-backpack cans and if I just want to plug something into my laptop to watch some anime.

If you're looking for some decent at least semi-portable closed headphones get yourself something for $50-$75 like the Sony MDR-V6's or the Koss Pro DJ100's. Really recommend the V6's though. If you don't mind open cans then the Grado SR60i's are fantastic.

Not a fan of the PortaPros as they are pretty cheap in build quality. Some of the JVC stuff is the bare minimum budget stuff is passable like the JVC Flats which you can find for $10 or so if you really wanted a $10 pair :(

I get the $10 dollar ones for the gym, running, and general throwing them around. I have a pair of superlux hd-662f for home listening
 
Iroha - 23

Ohana's mom is Milf of the season(s). Sorry Kouki's mom (a close second). =(

Laughed hard when
Tomoe was shown in the video footage
.

Tiger And Bunny And Jigsaw - 23

Christ, that was totally unnecessary. I guess they need a reinforcement of the "power of heroes" but why not just tie that into
T&B vs The Android? The whole bomb collar thing is unnecessary.

Anyone have that gif of the quasi ganguro girl blushing while a bunch of flowers go by her? I have no clue which show it's from, but I've seen it a few times on GAF.

Totally unnecessary eh? Much like this whole arc! What about Lunatic? What about the NEXT group? What about Koetsu and his problems?

Iroblah 23: This would be so much better if Ko just dated Momhana. Bonus points for more Takako servisu though.

Is it
already back in Tokyo for good?
I'm like 6 or 7 eps behind.
 
Soul Eater on blu-ray is on sale on amazon's daily deals right now. I'm wondering if I should pick it up.

Also it looks like Rideback will be next.
 
Air Gear 1+2

Seems like a fun little show and the dub isn't too bad either. I'm looking forward to watching more.

One Piece Movie 6: El Barón Omatsuri y la Isla Secreta

As someone who knows the bare minimum about the ongoing adventures of Luffy and his ragtag gang of trusty nakamas, it was reassuring to know I did not need to be well-versed in all things Grand Line related to enjoy this movie. And it turns out that was the case, seeing as I really did enjoy this movie.

Given that the reason most are watching this now is because it's directed by Hosoda I will say that his style definitely permeates most of it. It's also similar in that it starts out fairly light hearted and whimsical but never to the point where it becomes obnoxious and then sort of goes away from that in order to explore the actual themes the plot is going for.

Was I enthralled enough by the material that I now want to fully submerge myself into this world? No, not really, but I can certainly appreciate a well made movie when I see one.

It's pretty easy to imagine that being true.

Don't you dare compare Poison to some crappy character out of an even crappier series.
The old poison defence force.

Plus, if we were to go down that lots of character designs would look like other character designs!

Oh wait, they do.
 
Toriko 21

Awesome episode. When the orchestrated version of the main theme started playing at the end while Toriko was being badass, I got super pumped up. This series has an incredible "epic" ost.

Anyway, the origin story of the Gourmet Age is very One Piece-esque. Acacia is like Roger who brought on the era, GOD is like One Piece that lead to people exploring the world for their dreams. Even if it isn't super original, it's such a whimsical setup that it's still entertaining. Glad there's something like OP out there even if it is by a sex offender.
 
Idolmaster 6
Dat animation budget!

This was a nice episode. Seeing the girls actually doing things in the idol business is actually interesting for me, even if it is sugarcoated to hell.

This needs to be the real ending of the series, pretty badly.

I don't really feel like there's too sides on this issue. There's the right side, and the crazy side.
