Gundam AGE - 47

Animation is still good, don't really care about the rest, especially when the show hit a new low regarding mecha designs. The burst mode sucks too.
Yeah, the third generation is the worst, too bad.

Still better than Victory and 00S2.


Hunter X Hunter - 46

This show gets better looking with each new episode, no action, but it still looked great.
It's all about next week though.


Tanken Driland - 7

Still as charming and entertaining as ever.

Android Malware Lures Otaku With Anohana's Anaru
Malware infected app promises to allow users to use the touchscreen to manipulate character's body

Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day's Naruko "Anaru" Anjō is a pretty eye catching anime character, which is probably why virus writers have coopted the tsundere cutie.

Symantec reporrs that the Android.Maistealer carrying app requests permission to access contact data, then after the installation process, the malware provides the service it advertised: It allows a user to use the touchscreen to manipulate Anaru's body. Unfortunately, it also steals contact data from the victim's device.

Symantec's Joji Hamada said that spam is directing fans to a website that looks like the official Google Play store. "The app is not available on Google Play, as far as I am aware of, and is only available on these dedicated websites," Hamada wrote.

Alternate Source​

lmao

A person just can't finger things like they used to What's this world coming to?!

 

[BGBW]

Someone must have removed the stealing contact details aspect from that app by now.

Or I'll just have to get a spare contactless phone.

The Toyota Corolla is an utterly abysmal car.

Not making a real comparison with a modified 'Grp. A8' WRC, but just wanted to chime this in:

WRC 1998 Season Finale - Laugh of Fate

Sounds like a girl's name.

It's actually a Croatian name

Sounds like a croatian girl's name.

I think it sounds like the name of a ski legend to me:

FIS-Ski - biographie

I would kill for more shows in a semi-collegiate setting like Nodame, Genshiken, Honey and Clover, or even something like Welcome to the NHK!

You might like Here is Greenwood.

Agreed, lovely recommendation! The cool liberalness of the setting and the personalities of the roommates attracts you at first sight, but later the sarcastic and layered (sometimes a bit mysterious) nature of the characters makes it so interesting after the initial impression.

After seeing Kimagure Orange Road, at the time I searched for this work because I thought the character designer for it was Akemi Takada (several years ago, in the mid-90s, I didn't knew much about Japanese animation creators so I assumed things based on similar look) and didn't have access to the Internet to check up on project's staff and such. She was who at first made me interested on this work. Later I knew that she didn't participate on this.

Obviously I don't regret such mistake, and I wonder if sometimes this isn't the best way of discovering new things!

 

[R_thanatos]

KyoAni needs to go all out and prove that they can do more than just the same shit every other season. Time for them to work on the next Gundam TV series.

i have faith they can do it ..let's call it ...gundam after school club !

Not hyped, won't watch unless trusted sources say it's good enough:
From the New World
Chunibyo
Tempest
Robotic Notes

Tempest better not be bad!

This is more directed to duckroll but if anyone knows, please chime in. Are there any early airings/impressions for some of the stuff airing in October? I think Magi is supposed to have one but not sure if there is supposed to be more.

I was sure K had its ep one previewed, or at least on mal it has a pre airing for aug 28, sept 14, 17, 29, and 30...

clearly kyoani needs to do the anime adaptation for Onani Master Kurosawa

Ohhhh my.

Incase this hasn't been posted yet, here's the Best Cosplay Video Ever. I said wow.

 

[BGBW]

Could be a SOL about the mechanics who do the maintenance on the Gundams. Gossip around the coffee machine.

 

[Grzi]

Gundam confession: The only Gundam shows I've watched to completion are the original 0079 and Gundam Seed/Destiny.

Since you've already seen the original you should definitely watch Zeta, it's great.

 

[yn-neko hates a cat]

Well... that's that.

 

[Canis lupus]

Eden of The East : The King of Eden

Scrap the return of the awful

Spoiler

amnesia

plot device and this could have been a decent 35 minute OVA. Instead it's a terribly paced film consisting almost entirely of filler. I wasn't much of a fan of the TV show, but this film hits some new lows. I hope Paradise Lost is much better than this, but that might be expecting too much.

Incredible show but mediocre movies.

 

[Uchip]

you would have a 400x300 image as a wallpaper? *puke*

Why watch anime? I have seen the light.

Tiger & Bunny dubbed opening scene

Well the narrator sounds fitting, but no heroes voices.

They designed a shit ton of different logos for Psycho-Pass before deciding on a final one. Here's a preview of some of those logos, but for those who recall the very first PV, we already saw many of them flashed at the end there.

Naruto sd 24

Naruto was hilarious this week and so many outfits and situations. His "natural" look for a first date, lol. Fun skits.

New Chuunibyou Demo Koi ga Shitai PV!!

www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pl-3VnX8Rs0

Looks fantastic.

Even worse than the last PV.


Kyoani why

 

[RyougaSaotome]

Since you've already seen the original you should definitely watch Zeta, it's great.

Zeta is great.

Stay the fuck away from ZZ. =(

 

[sonicmj1]

Level ESoredemo Machi wa Mawatteiru 10

Another episode where the first part was middling, but the second part was fantastic.

I'm not trying to sound morbid, but I wonder how many people die without successfully completing whatever final words they intend.

Even if it was usually played for laughs, the sentimentality in that part was kind of touching too. It's disappointing we're probably not going to see that guy again.

Also, Sanada's prayer at the beginning really brought a smile to my face.

Why can't the town keep turning and turning forever?

 

[Train of Midnight]

latest autumn 2012 anime chart's out:

Awesome, will definitely watch:
Chuunibyo somethingsomething (Do we have a shorthand name for this yet?)
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (Suuuper pumped. Should I read the manga first?)
Code:Breaker
Magi
Psycho-Pass
Robotics;Notes

And probably Aoi Sekai for shits and giggles. And maybe the Onii-Chan show if it's good. I'll wait for the gifs.

I've come to the realization that I would probably watch literally anything that Kyoani makes.

 

[chickdigger802]

wait... why are we hyped about psycho pass again?

Ducky is trying to hype it as the savior of Noitamina ^^

 

[PdotMichael]

well, the concept arts are nice at least...

 

[amishpriest99]

KyoAni needs to go all out and prove that they can do more than just the same shit every other season. Time for them to work on the next Gundam TV series.

That would be a step up from Level 5/Hino. Pretty much anything would be, though.

 

[Pooya]

wait... why are we hyped about psycho pass again?

story is by Gen Urobuchi and premise sounds very appealing to me. sounds good enough to be excited

 

[Train of Midnight]

wait... why are we hyped about psycho pass again?

Because of reasons

 

[RurouniZel]

I've come to the realization that I would probably watch literally anything that Kyoani makes.

I'm on the same boat. Thankfully they're usually pretty great!!

CG guns.

Ducky is trying to hype it as the savior of Noitamina ^^

In what possible way does noitaminA need saving after a year where we've had Kids On The Slope, Tsuritama, and Natsuyuki Rendezvous? Not to mention Thermae Romae. I know it's a "meme" in this thread, but it doesn't really apply right now.

4th one, with the tie (red) I think is the best designed one, my favorite.

Zetsuen:


Magi:

Zetsuen has no bad art.

QUALITY, you mean.

4th one, with the tie (red) I think is the best designed one, my favorite.

He's voiced by Akira Ishida (Athrun from SEED, Ryuunosuke in Fate/Zero), you'll probably love him.

 

[firehawk12]

range is overrated when you've got the voice of a goddess

That's enough to inspire atheism.

Summer 2012 Preliminary First Volume Sales

*7,758 *1 Tari Tari [DVD+BD]: 2012/09/05
*4,278 *1 Oda Nobuna no Yabou [DVD+BD]: 2012/09/05
*1,900 *1 Moyashimon Returns [DVD+BD]: 2012/09/05

Interesting start to the season's numbers.

Man, that Tari Tari.

Why is Tart Tari selling so well? It seems like it should be a sub-tier seller to me.

I can only speculate that it is either VA worship or that it's just pleasant and generic enough, with some equally pleasant songs, that it's something people want.

Woah! Have I traveled back in time!
Better get outta here!

Oh damn.

Tari Tari's first BD comes with an event ticket. I don't remember what the event is, but those BDs usually do pretty well.

From the New World:

And that's about all the stuff I'm interested in from Animate's free mag. You guys can get the rest yourself.

lol did you gif the whole eps?

 

[Mandoric]

Streaming certainly isn't an option

But it is.
Just counting Bandai Channel's free weeklies, you've got UtaKoi, Accel World, Yuru Yuri, Oda Nobuna, SAO, Space Brothers, Lagrange, Kuroko, Joshiraku, Tari Tari, Gundam AGE, Kokoro Connect, Koi to Senkyo to Chocolate, Hagure Yusha, Horizon II, Chitose Get You, Binbogami, Yurumates 3D, Poyopoyo, SEED HD Remaster, Humanity Has Declined, Campione, E7 AO, Little Battlers eXperience W, and Polar Bear Cafe this season. A day or two behind, sure, but most non-obsessives don't care.
Niconico tends to get the most popular shows, and although their livestream times are equally dire, selling kids on a premium Nico account is cheaper and easier than an animu-specific site. And there are other options out there.

Also, even ignoring Share/PD, about 10%-25% of any fansub downloads are from Japan where they just turn the subs back off and watch normally.
