Huh. Here is something interesting that the new English NicoNico site is trying.

NicoNico to Stream Blood-C, Uta no Prince Sama Free in English

Too bad it doesn't cover my country too, even though I'm not really interested in Blood-C, after Blood+ and with Clamp involved.

 

[dimb]

Does Hulu still have an exclusive on noitaminia? I don't think they did any of the spring block...

I haven't seen Hulu doing Noitamina stuff since Kuragehime.

 

[Dresden]

Baby steps. Urusei Yatsura is outright insanity, yes.
Ranma is the better show overall, though.

I can picture Hitokage just shoving a fist through the wall right now.

 

[Dynedom]

Am I really the only one remotely interested in Usagi Drop? Or is everyone just burned out on NoitaminA stuff? =\

 

[Geneijin]

Will watch:

IdolM@ster
Natsume 3
Yuru Yuri YURI
Uta-sama
Mayo Chiki
Penguin Drummers
Croisee
R-15/R-16/R-14
Baka Test 2
Blood-Cramps
Itsuka Tenma no Kuro-Usagi
Morita-san wa Mukuchi
Usagi Drop
Dantalian no Shoka
Kami-samas
Sacred Seven
Manchuu Pichus
Sacred Sleeves

 

[iavi]

I haven't seen Hulu doing Noitamina stuff since Kuragehime.

Yeah, I just took a look and I'm not seeing anything recent. That's pretty disappointing. I wonder if it's more funi or hulu that's in the wrong though.

 

[flawfuls]

Am I really the only one remotely interested in Usagi Drop? Or is everyone just burned out on NoitaminA stuff? =\

Just based on source material it will no doubt be one of the best shows this season, but I've already read the manga so I'm not particularly hyped for it.

Yeah, I just took a look and I'm not seeing anything recent. That's pretty disappointing. I wonder if it's more funi or hulu that's in the wrong though.

C is on hulu. I think the only show they missed is Anohana.

Christ dude you might as well be watching the whole season. Not that its a bad thing but are you really interested in all of those shows?

 

[dimb]

Am I really the only one remotely interested in Usagi Drop? Or is everyone just burned out on NoitaminA stuff? =\

I'll be there to try it, but I expect it to be sappy as hell so my expectations are appropriately tempered.

Yeah, I just took a look and I'm not seeing anything recent. That's pretty disappointing. I wonder if it's more funi or hulu that's in the wrong though.

I don't really like Hulu anyways, so it's not the greatest loss. Painful amount of ads (Ad before start, OP you don't want to watch, ad again before show starts), loads poorly, subs are difficult to read if you aren't watching on a TV, etc.

You're not the only one.

No

No no no no no no no no no

Spoiler

no

 

[Instro]

Seems like most people are planning to watch it.

 

[iavi]

Am I really the only one remotely interested in Usagi Drop? Or is everyone just burned out on NoitaminA stuff? =\

Not at all. It's what I'm interested in most.

 

[Dynedom]

Awesome. Yeah, looking back I noticed a few people expressing interest but then a whole bunch of lists without any mention. =(

Still anxiously awaiting new Black Lagoon: Robert's Blood Trail. Part of that anticipation is lessened by a prediction of ridiculous shit by Roberta in the final episode though. =\

 

[Vox-Pop]

Will probably only watch Natsume. I'm dropping Ohana. I like the series somewhat, but some of the characters annoy the hell out of me. Maybe if they all died and Ohana was the only one left. I'll miss you boo. <3

 

[Hellsing321]

That's smart. Anything that promotes anime making it over here in a timely, official, manner is alright in my book.

Does Hulu still have an exclusive on noitaminia? I don't think they did any of the spring block...

[C] was on Hulu. They had the foresight to skip Ano Hana.

 

[iavi]

[C] was on Hulu. They had the foresight to skip Ano Hana.

Heh, that foresight should have just told them to skip the whole block then.

e: It's under "C-Control." No wonder I couldn't find it. I always figured 'C' would be to wide of a search so I'd search, "The money of etc etc"

 

[dimb]

Web only though, so kind of worthless.

 

[hosannainexcelsis]

Baby steps. Urusei Yatsura is outright insanity, yes.
Ranma is the better show overall, though.

Nothing the Ranma universe has produced can touch Beautiful Dreamer.

 

[zeroshiki]

Am I really the only one remotely interested in Usagi Drop? Or is everyone just burned out on NoitaminA stuff? =\

I'm definitely in. I love stuff like this plus I'm a big Aishiteruze Baby fan and this is most likely better!

 

[Dedication Through Light]

Huh. Here is something interesting that the new English NicoNico site is trying.

NicoNico to Stream Blood-C, Uta no Prince Sama Free in English

25 cents for membership?! Score though, Ill have to remember this next week I guess.

 

[Izayoi]

I'll be watching the fuck out of Usagi drop.

Huh. Here is something interesting that the new English NicoNico site is trying.

NicoNico? In English? What has the world come to.

[C] was on Hulu. They had the foresight to skip Ano Hana.

They should've skipped both.

 

[Dynedom]

I'm definitely in. I love stuff like this plus I'm a big Aishiteruze Baby fan and this is most likely better!

This is the major reason I'm looking into this. I really enjoyed Aishiteruze Baby (wish it could have actually finished the story).

Not quite sure why stories of this nature intrigue me so much.

Its the inner pedo father in you crying out to be let free!

Btw, congrats on becoming a member Dynedom.

 

[NewFresh]

Only thing that has me interested is Penguindrum

So hyped for it

Besides I still have shows like Ano Hi Mita, Steins;Gate, and Ao no Exorcist. Though I am thinking of dropping Exorcist unless it turns really great soon.

 

[Instro]

Awesome. Yeah, looking back I noticed a few people expressing interest but then a whole bunch of lists without any mention. =(

Yeah I've held off moving further in the BL manga until Blood Trail ends, should be cool. I'm not really bothered that Roberta has been over the top, its not too much different from the crazy shit the she pulled off the last time she was on the show.

 

[trejo]

Guess I might as well do one of these, too.

Will check out:

Mawaru Penguindrum because it's Ikuhara, man!
Im@s to see what all the fuzz is about.

Spoiler

Xenoglossia will end up being the better show.

Usagi Drop because it's like Aishiteruze with a budget and I do love me some bad parenting.
Blood-C because lol CLAMP. But who knows, could be good.

Spoiler

It won't.

No. 6 because I know that, deep down, Bones still loves me.
Mayo Chiki just to please Dresden, really.
Croisee because DrForester is a man of class and if he's in then I might as well check it out.
Baka Test 2 since it has my waifu in it and the first season provided a few laughs.
Dantalian because it can't possibly be worse than Gosick... right?
Sacred Seven for my Sunrise fix and because T&B has been disappointingly competent in this regard.
Ninja Tits because I am part of the problem.

I'll also check out Appleseed XIII if that ever sees the light of day if only because I really liked Jinni's work on Fireball Charming but I'm not really expecting much from it.

I still haven't decided what my Hidan no Aria of this season is going to be. I'm leaning towards Itsuka Tenma no Kuro-Usagi since it looks positively dreadful.

How many of those I actually end up following is anyone's guess.

 

[Geneijin]

Wouldn't IM@S win in-universe due to sheer numbers? There's like 10 or 11 idols vs. only 5 girls in HTT.

Spoiler

You forgot about their classmates, huh

 

[Lafiel]

will watch:
PENGUINS
Natsume Yujinchou

will not watch:
everything else

This list would be perfect if you added IDOLM@STER to it.

 

[Osaka]

Would've appreciated if the OP had any sort of plot synopsis for the shows instead of reasons why Lafiel thinks people should watch/avoid each show.

 

[Branduil]

Well I have no idea what shows if any Crunchyroll is getting this season, but Deadman Wonderland ends this week and I thought, "I'll ask GAF." Which show should I put in a request for to translate? What do you all think is gonna be good? Mawaru Penguindrum is the one that caught my eye (and I think it's supposed to be "Penguindulum")

Bunny Drop.

 

[Uchip]

Need to hear his oro.

you mean olo? hohoho

My body is FUCKING READY.

my body is dead and decomposing
but still ready

Aw, thanks for asking. Then I'll request Penguin Drum and Natsume Yuujin Chou San.

Spoiler

You can balance that out by translating Mayo Chiki while you're at it.

That one will take a LOT of convincing and you're not even close yet, Lafieru~

Hey, we're friends, right icarus? Let's make a pact that involves you watching some idols...

 

[Sonicbug]

Natsume for me. Maybe Croisée and I’ll at least check out Dantalian.

Of course I say I’ll watch every season, then get too busy and drop it all. I’m way behind on Tiger and Bunny as it is...

 

[Geneijin]

Christ dude you might as well be watching the whole season. Not that its a bad thing but are you really interested in all of those shows?

Depends. The only shows which I could see being as bad as Spring's worse are R-15 and inferior Kami-sama, and Spring had way more dull ones.

 

[Jintor]

I sure like having a backlog!

 

[scy]

On a tangential note, I've been showing some friends who've never seen Ranma 1/2 why it's the best comedy around, and the second OP is pure classic.

Still know it word for word. (Somewhat NSFW.)

Also, I love how Viz did subs that sound like the JP lyrics.


I prefer the ED from Season 1, though. ('Let's Keep It Friends [Platonic]')

Ranma 1/2 easily is responsible for me enjoying the music from anime so much. Some of the first anime soundtracks I ever purchased.

 

[/XX/]

So now that From Kokuriko Hill (&#12467;&#12463;&#12522;&#12467;&#22338;&#12363;&#12425 has been previewed by an internal group of Studio Ghibli's production staff members, we can congratulate them for the realization of such a difficult task in completing the film, but some of those heavily emotional impressions some of them have said surely are more biased, if possible, because of those seemingly 'nerve-wrecking' last months of work they were involved with. Apparently, we can expect some kind of new media as part of the film promotional campaign very soon...

It's essentially drama but without the 'anime-' tag that you find yourself applying to other drama's in the medium. There's no "it's a drama right up until scene which is totally 'anime' and not believable in the slightest" going on here. I appreciate that it's remarkably slow as well because it allows characters and situations to move along at a more organic pace.

And that still is one of the reasons Mr. Takahata is famous for, more or less. Fairly realistic human interaction depicted in a movie that happens to be animated, although that doesn't mean he doesn't knows how to take advantage of the medium possibilities, of course.

 

[Izayoi]

but seriously guys, i will be crushed if penguin drum sucks. like emotionally distraught. like I'll totally quit anime forevers if it happens. or at least until the next ikuhara series comes along battered wife style.

You'll come back, even if there was never another Ikuhara series.

They always come back.

 

[Lafiel]

It's okay, It's not like you have anything to lose.. If IDOLM@STER sucks I'll both quit anime and get a suitable tag for it.;_;

 

[Izayoi]

Yeah, but it's like statistically impossible for Idoru to suck.

 

[Instro]

I will quit anime if ninja tits sucks.

Spoiler

lol

 

[Hitokage]

Only if you suffer from Alzheimer's.

 

[trejo]

Yeah, but it's like statistically impossible for Idoru to suck.

Well now you're just jinxing it.

 

[Izayoi]

Well now you're just jinxing it.

No way. Do the math! With those names nothing bad could possibly come of it.

 

[jman2050]

Seriously guys, don't get caught up in 7th et al's pace. Wait and see if it's good, don't set your expectations any higher than they need to be. If the show ends up awesome, then it's a win for all of us.

 

[trejo]

Dude stop it!

 

[Lafiel]

Oh, so that's why you're pimping it so hard? Ahahahahahahaha.

Pfft, It's not like i have anything to worry about, i know the show is going be awesome.:3
