It's hard to get into something when they go out of their way to you dislike their characters.

Speaking of things that can make you hate an anime:

Don't Bang Your Sister 7:



It's weird when a show just goes for it, but is so cheap. As you can see, they tried to do their own version of the "toothbrush" scene, but it might as well have been a series of stills with the voice actress doing her best to fake an orgasm on a microphone.

Also, it only took him 7 episodes to figure out that he could use DNA tests. lol

2012 US Presidential Election 7

(The bed scene was already posted earlier!)

I think the only reason I remotely enjoy this show is that this is as close to a teacher arc in Amagami SS as I'll probably get. lol
I don't get why they even bothered trying to provide backstory for the characters, when it's just haremshit.

At least I'm scrubbing through this stuff and not really watching it. lol


There's a teacher arc?! Daaaaamn it. *adds to list*

It's almost certainly a Gen Urobuchi show. Putting together everything I have dug up so far, the credits would probably look something like this:

Director: Naoyoshi Shiotani
Series Composition: Gen Urobuchi
Original Character Desgin: Akira Amano
Animation Character Design: Kyoji Asano
Animation Production: Wit Studio

So what's your opinion on that staff then? I,sure as hell, am not familiar with any of them except Urobuchi to make an educated guess about the quality of the show.

YES.



NO D: Smaller armor plz. Fuck protection. I need to see things, like the edge of the nips and the crease in the... yes, cajun, you should draw bigger hips, so that they at least match or exceed the length of the shoulder width! friendly suggestion ^^

Yeah the proportions are definitely off. Her arms are too long too I think. She's cute though.
Plus if its posted here it has to be reasonably work-safe lol.

Subete no aware
Her bandaged hand isn't even brought up that much. I would say she's defined by her entire design, her occupation, and her deadpan humor that sometimes drifts into over the top humor. Shinpachi has none of that because he's a boring no-character.

And I really don't know how you can defend Gintama in this aspect when it's arguably worse about character development resets.
There are no resets though, they're already at their best. They just don't want to be at their best all the time, so they go back to being slobs and drunks and whatnot.

If I had a complaint, it's that some of the relationships are static - for all the talk of Gintoki being an experienced man and frequenting Yoshizara, he sure spends a lot of time ignoring women.

Sort of, but I have to imagine that it's not going anywhere (it's a haremshit after all!).

Whats the name of the second show?

For UK-ites, Scotland Loves Animation have confirmed screenings of Blood-C The Last Dark, the second Berserk movie, Wolf Children and Nerawareta Gakuen at their Edinburgh event in October. I am sorely tempted to go - I don't care about Berserk but the other three are a different matter (particularly NeraGaku).

Once again, as per last year, I'm doing all movie in both locations. Because I'm crazy.

Interestingly Wolf Children is only advertised as the "Scottish premiere" - maybe there's an English/Welsh premiere coming up?

Good catch - London Film Festival normally runs around the same time as SLA (I remember taking a train from Edinburgh straight down to London for Children Who Chase Lost Voices last year... what a waste that was...), and seems like the most likely suspect for an earlier screening, given Leeds Film Festival isn't until November.

-edit- Also, for Londoners, tickets to Tiger and Bunny: The Beginning at the BFI Southbank on the 23rd September (the day after Japan!) went on general sale earlier in the week.

Of course there is. There is enough porn on my HDD already :p That doesn't mean I can't get excited over the idea of more of it. I just love anime girls. Everytime I see a new one, it's like seeing them for the first time!

PA Works has announced ANOTHER new anime. This time it's an original anime series in collaboration with Dengeki Daiou. The title is Nagi no Asukara. The director is Toshiya Shinohara, who is also directing the upcoming Red Data Girl for PA Works. Mari Okada is doing the series composition, and the original character design is by Buriki (Haganai). More details will be unveiled at the upcoming Dengeki 20th Anniversary event.
Truly, the Okada-bot never sleeps or rests.

Shining hearts ?

That's being incredibly generous.

The look on his face... this is fucking hilarious.

I don't even know what's causing her to make those motions because the dude clearly lacks a penis.

Those stills. Uhh......wow.

It's just too expensive for me to get to Scotland, unfortunately.

I feel like there's a joke in here that I would only understand if I was British.

Cross Game

Such a great series. Interesting characters with a story revolving around baseball. I think it's a must watch even if you don't like sports.

My favorite episode was the Wakaba flashback.

Your ability to keep the fiery passion burning is an inspiration to us all.

The only joke is that I could:

fly from my location to another country and back again

or

travel around a large amount of Europe by rail

for less than it would cost me to reach Scotland (which really isn't that far away and is within the borders of my country).

Oreki's sister totally looks like Aerith :p and
I like how she conveniently had that manga with her and with one glance at the poster figured everything out... , don't think Chitanda has met her before, I wonder if there is anything more to that scene or not.
I imagine that she and Oreki simply share similar facial characteristics and that vaguely reminded Chitanda of Oreki, but not in any manner that she realized.

Man, Gintoki's just playing it cool. It's all part of his strategy - ignoring them is just one of his moves.

So I guess we're back to multiple character developments everywhere. Of course it's pretty much for the girls that matter plus the teacher and the yaoi option, though I guess the cat ear girl really hasn't had much development to begin with. Though, I am glad that those many mysteries of this show are slowly getting resolved.

Koi to Senkyo to Chocolate: The Obama Story.

As much as I love the Gintama crew, I barely consider them sympathetic characters. And there's room for growth that just doesn't happen. In Binbougami, it took 8 episodes for Ichiko's facade to break and for her to finally start to open up. In Gintama, it took 240 episodes for Katsura and Elizabeth to develop and they STILL reset it.
 
Campione! 08


Archery beats running bird. Know your FE weapon triangles!

So-so episode. First part was our hero running away from barely dressed girls at a hot spring/ beach resort as they go about their merry ways in suffocate him with their breasts, kidnapping to go on a date or lecturing him in a hot springs.

Part two gets better with number one rival doing something and we get a new villain on a flying horse to ruin the hero's day. Action was good, harem stuff was boring.

Also, worst use of a giant fire boar yet? Leap up into the sky and then charge the guy who entered on a flying horse off the boar and then have the boar land and possibly go berserk before the flying horse reenters?

Oh, petrol prices and all that. Should have realized. Carry on.

Chu Chu is a constant source of amusement. I refuse to read this discrimination against his character. He's like the 4th greatest monkey in anime.

Mascot characters are a universally terrible concept that Ikuhara should have left behind in his Sailor Moon days.

Okay, not universally terrible--there are exceptions to the rule like Kero in Card Captor Sakura, Tarte in Fresh Precure!, and even Luna/Artemis from Sailor Moon itself. However, ChuChu is far from an exception.

I feel this is a very loaded statement. How many other monkeys are there?

That bad? I mean, I appreciate I have the benefit of living in Northumberland (which isn't really much of a benefit when it comes to my more frequent trips to London), but I've just grabbed train tickets into Glasgow and back for SLA for £50, and that's first class.

Train tickets aren't that bad as long as you can book a couple of months in advance. God forbid you try and arrange anything at the last minute, though.

This almost sounds like you're hating on Luna. D:

I honestly don't know what response I'm supposed to make to that. :(

Other than to say luffy is a terrible main character. ^^
