Holy fuck.
Gintama is the manliest text ever created.
I thought you be championing your Tsuki x Gin considering she was angry and worried over Gin in this episode.
Well, remember, the number to beat is 1,487. Not saying that it won't pull in those extra 250 sales at some point in the future, but it's not quite there yet, and we might never see it technically rank on the charts beyond this.Good, good. That means R;N vol. 1 outsold C;H vol. 1
From the New World sales just keep getting more depressing.
There is something seriously wrong with a market when a nationwide released product cant even break 500 copies.

Especially something this fantastic. When you have all these shitty pandering shows selling 10-20k copies, and From the New World is getting around 500 copies, something is really wrong.

That many shows really sold more than 10K copies in 2012?

All the Media Create people would get heart attacks if they saw this thread when discussing sales. #NicheHobbyForNicheHobbyists
Well, here's all the 2012 shows that have over a 10,000 BD+DVD per volume average so far:
And sitting in the high 9,*** area are Hyouka, Initial D Fifth Stage, and High School DxD.

Yes, even that moment was manly. lol
(Best pairing is best, etc!)
It's really hard to show anything since you could probably cap every single line and shot from the episode to illustrate how awesome this show can be.
Thats the thing. Even successful shows can rarely break 10,000 copies sold. The margin for error in anime seems so tiny. If you miss the otaku you miss everything completely.

BTOOOM! or Medaka Box dont target Otaku?
They are still pretty standard shounens.
EDIT : what am I saying, Btooom is a seinen. I just meant that they did not focus that much on this target.
Yeah no joke. Sales are so ridiculously low in the anime market. They really need to come up with a way to lower costs and break into a bigger market.
Its amazing how popular GuP is, although its completely understandable.
I said "miss the otaku". Some shows aim straight for Otaku, like Rinne no Lagrange, and strike out spectacularly.

It's not just the anime market though. The culture regarding buying home video releases evolved in Japan in its own unique way. They target otaku because they're the only audience over there with any interest on buying video releases in the first place. There isn't an actual big mainstream market for these products there, and that's not limited to anime.

Lagrange tried to throw everything at it in hopes something would stick.

I will look into it, poster art looks really good.
And that's why I loved it.

Clearly those are reinforced skirts made for tank warfare.
Something that always bothered me about wind and cloth in animation (and not just limited to anime). If you hold a peace of cloth or paper in strong wind, it will almost always bend in one direction instead of the kind of billowing effect you see when Superman is posing on top of the daily planet showing off his spandexed pecs with his cape undulating behind him. This also applies to hair, which sometimes even takes on a silk-like density.
Sure, it looks pretty, but it's UNPOSSIMABLE.
If you've ever gone out on a windy day with longish hair, you know that shit gets all up in your face, and doesn't conveniently leave it uncovered while the ends sway in the wind in time with the cherry blossoms.

The market forces don't always get their way!
It's more lewd without the panties.

You should watch Saki. Panties don't exist in that universe.

It had its moments...some of the mechanical designs I liked (particularly the Voxes) and it also had Lan.

We had to wait nearly a year. You won't. ;0
This was a really good episode of Naruto, nicely done. As good as it was though it sadly feels rather weak coming off the latest episodes of Gintama.
Can't deny it either, man... can't deny...
Exactly! Not only seen as a true companion piece and simple love letter, really... then again, I suppose that seeing them as an entity also makes rankings between both rather futile, and I kind of like to avoid watching that be done as well.You've articulated pretty much how I feel about Diebuster as it relates to Gunbuster. I find both works amazing on their own merits. And yep, that last scene is one of my favorites ever
I would call some similarities out of it, although Coo is not a mere visitant from outer-space passing by, and coexisting with the humans that invade his habitat is a bigger hurdle while it makes Coo's adventure much more oppressive, interactions with egoist humans more miserable, and overall a sadder experience. Not to say it is just a sad movie, of course... only that some moments are even more unsettling because of this.
Yeah. The comparisons featuring "K-ON! WITH GUNS"... that "SPECULAH!", "TRUMPETAH!", "Soramirez do everything!"... people spamming pictures of Takemikazuchi's garage kits as if those were going to be available to all some day... the rumors again of a continuation after 2011's re-airing... good times after all...

It's amazing how that show galvanized a small group of nerds. Now that's how you do world building. lol
Disgusting, those tank cushions must be rank as hell.

Yep, pretty sad, but I'm glad something like this exists.
I did get in the cajun-approved Nurse Witch Kogumi complete collection yesterday and watched the first couple episodes. Pretty fun show so far
.Speaking of which I rather Gintama goes on a hiatus again instead of doing reruns.
And.. what about with Studio Ghibli? That idea reminds me of the mapping technology used in Princess Mononoke they shared, for it to be converted and promoted into the Deep Canvas solution.
But really, that motion-tween style advancement is impressive!
I'm really satisfied as is when the staff at MARZA ANIMATION PLANET INC., can do things like this:
Lupin III - Master File 3DCG - YouTube
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZXBU3bURWc
As duckroll said, they were previously known as Sega's VE Research & Development team.
Of course! Everyone was so into it speculating (http://soranowoto.wikia.com/wiki/Forum:Episode_Charts) all together that a sweet bond was unavoidably formed!

Why not? A hiatus means nothing for anyone. At least with the reruns there's something those who don't have access to sites like Crunchyroll.

Enjoy it while it lasts because this is the only arc you're getting this year.

4chan is always right!
Man, such a good show. Every time I think about it, there's a small part of me that wants to buy the BDs.
Well thanks for that mood killer! lol

Switching to the manga would be better imo.

Isnt it only three episodes of "filler" which were basically expansions on the covers stories? Not much to skip.
I have problem reading One Piece in a manga format. Its always busy.
Huh?
I thought the time skip was a filler?

[Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water] 13
Very impressive.
Such clever use of bait and switch is prevalent in Anno's works. Actually, this episode reminded me a lot of Evangelion 19, where
I can hate Anno for CGI Evangelions, but moments like these are why I'm so in love with his work in general.
Very impressive.
The lackadaisical mood of the first half betrays the serious stuff that strikes you at the end. I was afraid that the episode would revolve around the silly meat-eating vs vegan conundrum that makes me hate Nadia so freaking much, but the moment it switched to Marie and King's adventures (complete with a totally out of place opening theme song montage) should have been the first sign that Anno had something else in mind. Great sakuga aside, the goofy action that followed only lulls you into a relaxed sense of security when shit hits the fan and Nemo kills the Neo Atlantis soldier in cold blood.
Such clever use of bait and switch is prevalent in Anno's works. Actually, this episode reminded me a lot of Evangelion 19, where
all signs point to Shinji becoming a hero through heroic acts of badassery, only for him to completely fail at saving the day and literally regressing to his mother's womb, betraying the "coming of age" moment that had been hinted beforehand.
I can hate Anno for CGI Evangelions, but moments like these are why I'm so in love with his work in general.
Glad you gave this a shot.

Not sure if that's the case with GuP it's just very stubborn skirts. This will probably meet your demands!
It depends on the strength and direction of the wind as well as how heavy the hair/cloth is. The idea is that as the cloth is pivoted and reaches a certain angle the air under it escapes and it doesn't have enough lift thus dropping until it is at an angle where it can lift it again. It's relatively rare that the right conditions for it to look this awesome arise but who cares! It looks awesome so we can pretend ideal conditions always exist in animetopia.
