I really should get around to that, it seems pretty up my alley.

>>75699
It does.
For a moment, I thought you started the thread.

HAVE YOU WATCHED BEN-TO YET

WHY ARE YOU NOT WATCHING BEN-TO

>finally download CCCP and use it with Media player classic
holy fucking shit what have i been doing with my life

Man, I'm such a fucking sucker for good characters. First Yu Yu Hakusho, now Ao No Exorcist, even knowing how generic they are, I can't help but love them to bits because they have characters I love.

>>75706

Have you been using VLC?

...You've been using VLC, haven't you?

>>75711
NO

yes

>>75727

It's better here.

This show is nuts!

>>75727
Same here.
While I miss the chapters division and the easy snips capture, I can say it feels even more fluid than in VLC.

There are now 6 different groups scanlating Akame ga Kill.
This is silly.

>>75706
Will CCCP fuck up After Effects? That program is crazy sensitive to codecs.

>[C]

Ok, does this stay high quality or go downhill real fast?

It sure is fortunate a new series started, because most of these I either already follow or haven't really followed and am completely lost because of how many chapters its been.
But I get a Yu-Gi-Oh card so we'll say its money well spent.

Gurren Lagann is nowhere near as fun as I thought it would be, I understand Simon's character, but it's like fucking come on, I'm only around episode 11.

>>75906
Episode 12 is where it's fun again, at least go through episode 15.

>>75907
Yeah, seems to be turning around, I torrented the whole thing so regardless I'm watch it.

>>75906
>>75908
Yeah, the thing about the story with Gurren Lagann is that they have a couple of valleys of falling tension to go with the rising tension. The low point is probably right at about where you're at--but that valley's necessary because it makes what comes right after even more powerful.

You can feel the ghosts of other series' cyncism being banished during the final battle with Guame.

Timeskip? Well okay.

I am okay with Nia, but this Anti-Spiral Angle seems a bit much.

>>75921
"A Bit Much?" Who the hell do you think this show is? The heart of man burns with delicious hamminess and endearingly over-the-top melodrama!

>>75922
Now see I was expecting that, this is just kinda "yeah, okay."

Episode 19 now and disgusted with all these Marvel citizens.

And getting REALLY fucking tired of "EFFECTIVE WEAPONRY? FUCK THAT, SCRAP IT!"

>>75925
I'm getting the feeling its because the man in charge wants to cut ties with the weapons of thier former opressors, instead switching to thier new weapons which are solely of human design.

>>75906
Episode 11 is literally one of the best episodes of the series IIRC. That's the one where Simon stops being a little bitch, gets his spine back, and gives his own manly Kamina speech.

...fuck I need to rewatch TTGL

>>75927
ANIKI WO SHINDA! MOU INAI!

...and Leeron the only one who doesn't look even a little bit surprised, just sitting there smiling smugly like "That's my boy!"

Oh, god, and even before that, the scene where they're all stuck down there and he's digging through the bedrock without a word and Yoko tells the story that Kamina told her about Simon...

...god that was a good episode.

>>75928
>"ROSSIU! GATTAI DA!"
cue fangirl squealing/handflailing from me gosh what a good episode oh my gosh

>>75927
Yeah, him growing a set was nice.

>>75932
See, the thing is, it didn't just have him growing a pair--it established that he always had a pair. You go back, and you see that even though he didn't have ambition before, and didn't want to get involved in fights that weren't his, once he was well and truly into something he would always keep moving forward. He tried to quit once when he thought Kamina could take over for him, but once Kamina convinced him that he was part of this, he never tried to run away. And he never considered abandoning Kamina, either--it was always dependent on Kamina leaving too.

Heck, even think back to episode one--all of Kamina's proto-Gurren-dan bailed when Kamina got in trouble. Simon--who wasn't even part of their plan, stayed by him to face punishment with him. Kamina pretty much had to force him to let him take the fall.

So yeah, the Super Gay guy is the best part of this entire series.

>>75934
Is it.... BAD that he's the best example of a heroic gay dude I can think of in anime?

>>75935
Hell no, he's amazing.

>>75935
There's also this guy.

But yeah, Leeron is amazing. And it was even more amazing that Steve Blum played him convincingly in the dub.

>>75935

I beg your pardon.

But no, Leeron's fucking awesome.

Dub you mean.

Its on Netflix and Hulu.

>>76013
Oh yeah, dub. My bad.
Sadly, I can't watch it from hulu, and Netflix latinamerica is kinda poor on stuff. So I guess I'll get the dvds.

>>76016
You won't regret it. Baccano! is /jam/'s favorite series for a reason.

>>76018
Yeah, Season 2 is gonna be hype.

It's official. Nisekoi has now trumped Aiki as Reaction Face: the Manga.

>>76029

UNPOSSIBLE

>>76031
You're right. It's pretty up there, though. And there haven't been any Aiki chapters in ages.

Ugh, no. His female anatomy is nothing short of awful, I can't think of another series so dedicated to far service where the fanservice is so universally and completely unarousing. Porn by him would be awful

Shouta Aoi is a real-life trap.

>>76137
Watching professionals pop out intricate doodles with less effort than signing a check fills me with so much awe and jelly.

/jam/ please recommend me some good magical girl anime series. I've only watched Sailor Moon and Madoka and I already have Pretty Cure on the list.

>>76217
I'm assuming you're meaning Sailor Moon-style Magical Girl, and not anything Japan would call "Magical Girl."

Card Captor Sakura is a classic, but you probably don't have to watch the whole thing to get the gist. Magic Knight Rayearth was sort of halfway between Magical Girl and Fantasy. Like CCS, it's by CLAMP, but the art isn't as good.

I haven't gotten far enough to see it be able to vouch for it, but allegedly Lyrical Nanoha goes from being run-of-the-mill to awesome around the second season. The first season was pretty ho-hum from what I saw of it.

If you liked Excel Saga, there's also Puni Puni Poemi, which is the same thing only moreso and is, allegedly, a Magical Girl series. It is only two episodes long, so you're not investing much time in watching it.

One could also make the argument that Utena was a magical girl series, but if so it's a weird one. But whatever it is, Utena is a weird one.

>>76219
If you're going classic magical girl, you may as well hit Wedding Peach. It's nothing super special, but it's more traditional by far than Nanoha.

>>76217
Maybe you could check Corrector Yiu, in which magical girls are basically antivirus for the ComNet, a virtual reality internet.
The first season is different from your usual magical girl series with some interesting twists of the plot, specially by the end. The second season is more like your run of the mill magical girl series, but with the addition of a third magical girl that serves more like a rival for the main characters.

>>76223

Are there English subs for that series anywhere online?

>>76217
Super Pig/Tonde Buurin was another good one.
(I'm actually interested in some Magical Girl shows, too.)

There's Tokyo Mew Mew, but I don't know enough about it to recommend.

>>76221
I've only watched the OVA, but I'll second Ai Tenshi Wedding Peach. It's pretty close to the Sailor Moon formula.

>>76219
I'll second Card Captor Sakura and Rayearth (in Rayearth's case, the second season of the anime over the manga). Can't second it enough. There's also the Rayearth 3-OVAs story, but it's very different. Gorgeous animation though.

>>76225
>>76223
I know it played in my country, I'll guess it came form the u.s., so it's probably dubbed in english at least?

>>76217
Oh, I almost forgot: Princess Tutu like a motherfucker. Especially Season 2.

Also, you have no idea how much I wish Model Warrior Lily Cure was a real thing.

>>76229
Hey, if that Genshiken show-within-a-show got its own season, anything is possible.

>>76228
You know, if this anime is half as rad as the pic says, DAMN I gotta watch it.

>>76236
It's not. The picture is completely misleading and I really hate it for it. Don't get me wrong, it's a great anime. It's well written and bittersweet. But all the people seeing this picture expect some kind of over-the-top action spectacle. Which it isn't. It's a very melancholic but loving homage to the classic arts.

>Those who accept their fate will find inner peace. Those who defy it: glory.

Princess Tutu is not an action spectacle by any means, I'll grant you that, but it is definitely as awesome and empowering as a hot blooded action series would be, just without the hot blood and with 1/5th of the action.

>>76219
>I'm assuming you're meaning Sailor Moon-style Magical Girl, and not anything Japan would call "Magical Girl."

Yeah, that's what I meant, but what's the difference? What shows does Japan consider magical girl?

Thanks for the recommendations, everyone.

"BE MINE HERO!" IS GETTING AN ANIME HOLY FUCK!

http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2012-06-27/maoyu-maoyusha-fantasy-novels-inspire-tv-anime

>>76243
In Japan the origins of the Magical Girl genre go back to the surprising popularity of Bewitched over there. Before Cutey Honey and Sailor Moon, most Magical Girl shows were more about cute witches using their powers to go about their every day lives or maybe to try to achieve some dream like becoming an idol.

Kiki's Delivery Service would be considered a Magical Girl movie in Japan.

>>76217
Also check out Gainax's OVA adaptation.

You know, for some reason I seem to forget how most anime I watched recently (ehm, as in, late few years. I'm bit behind in this century...) ended. I even thought they were probably half-ended or just plain sucked (media, anime included, overall seem to have gotten way too cynical) sometimes. But rewatching some stuff, and... I REALLY liked how Kanokon ended, for instance.

>>76254
Really? Nice to know, just the other day I was talking here to someone about how I thought Ah! Megami Sama seemed inspired by I Dream of Jeannie and the like.

>>76237
>>76240
Damn pity. I didn't necessarily expect literally an action anime, but something on the rad side. Ninjas-fighting-with-guitars rad.

>>76246
>>76248
KICKASS!

Though I wonder how different it'll be from the one manga one I'm reading

So I had no idea, until someone in the SA thread mentioned it, but apparently Hatoful Boyfriend got not one but TWO drama CDs. Both of which not only managed to get all the voice actors the creator came up with, but managed to Oko San, the only one who didn't get an ideal voice actor, TO BE PLAYED BY WAKAMOTO.

Yoko Kanno and Steve Conte "Call Me Call Me"

>>76348

Samurai Champloo is by the same director and features a similarly wild mix of two things that should clash: post-feudal Japan and melodic hip hop. The ending is garbage and doesn't address 90% of the series, but it's a fun ride.

:|

This fucking show, man.

>>76434
What is it?

>>76441
Tiki how did you miss the first great comedy anime in ages? Daily Lives of High School Boys.

Starring such famous faces as Jack, Markovich, and Hooper.

>>76442

Do you have suggestions for similar shows?

No hyperbole; I've never laughed so hard.

>>76443
High School Girls (manga, I haven't seen the anime)
Cromartie High School (both, manga is longer but the anime makes the parts it adapts even more incredible)
Azumanga Daioh (manga, haven't seen the anime)
Grand Teacher Onizuka (manga, haven't seen the anime or j-drama, also has serious parts)

Note though that aside of Daily Lives of High School Boys and Baccano I hate pretty much every show I've ever seen you praise so it's entirely possible that you won't like any of these.

>>76444

Aw, how's that fair? I praise stuff just as much as I criticize it except Deadman Wonderland

Also, [C] would make a lot more sense if the mechanism through which Midas money <--> real world money was clearer.

Demigods playing games with itemized futures only makes sense as an allegory for the balance of competing interests if the influx which makes said game one of asymmetric open gains is, I don't know, not fucking random?

>>76443
Definitely try Nichijou

More Than Words - Maaya Sakamo…

It needs to be August already.

The good news is that Steins;Gate finally gets interesting 11 episodes in.

The bad news is it's painfully sad.

Just saw my first episode of (dubbed) Panty and Stocking. It's great for a no-brain-cells-required distraction, but the humor pushes too hard and I can't seeing it be a repeated watch like, say, FLCL or Shin-chan.

JoJo's artist seriously has like the worst grasp of anatomy I've ever seen.

It's downright impressive how painful he manages to make the simplest things look.

>>76492
Has someone stolen that man's bones?

>>76492
HIROHIKO ARAKI IS A GOD SIR, He is both writer and artist.

Also, that's not bad anatomy, that's warped perspective for dramatic effect to exaggerate the surreal nature of what is happening, which I'm guessing you partially noticed since you describe the scene as painful.

JJBA is dynamic as fuck.

Also I fucking love Gappy.

>>76492

Worst...or BEST?

But no seriously the man's a genius. Just not a conventional one.

http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2012-07-05/jojo-bizarre-adventure-gets-tv-anime-in-october-and-game

Speaking of Jojo...

WHAT!?

>>76499
Nah, he just slipped and is falling over.
>>76500
Tiki.
Tiki, no.
Every joint in that man's body is broken.
I understand your adoration for the guy, but he's just absolutely awful at anatomy in general.
Holding a phone should not look that painful, and what is the deal with that slap.
>>76501
Oh I'm not gonna argue you there, I absolutely love what I've read of JoJo, even if I haven't had the patience to sit down and read through it yet.

>>76503
Okay, Slowpoke, I know that you are new to this, but the deal is Araki has been drawing for YEEEEEEEEEEEEEARS UPON YEARS, his grasp on the human body is phenomenal, however he doesn't WANT to draw like that, his art used to be a knock off of FOTNS but he evolved past that and now he draws with a SUPER stylistic slant and awkward anatomy results from it, but it is by choice it looks that way.

Bare in mind Araki is a real life fashion designer, understanding anatomy is PART OF HIS JOB also he draws more like an animator.

>>76504
Just because you choose to draw that way does not stop it from being awful

>>76505
No but the fact it's not awful does.

>>76506
jojo as a whole? no. not awful.

the anatomy? sometimes is just bad in a bad way.

>>76507
I disagree but respect your opinion.

I've never gotten terribly far in Jojo, but looking at Araki's art, it's more like he's trying to replicate fashion shoots on every single page with the strange poses and elaborate clothes. So the strange anatomy sort of goes hand in hand with that

>>76511
Nailed it

>>76502
if it's by the same studio that did the Part III OVAs and the Part I movie that's not good news at all
speaking of which did they ever release the Phantom Blood movie on DVD? I know it's bad, but I doubt it's so bad they don't want anybody to ever see it again

>>76513
>I know it's bad, but I doubt it's so bad they don't want anybody to ever see it again

YOU WOULD BE WRONG, it is MUCH worse than you think it is, they cut out ALL of Speedwagon, he just doesn't exist in it and so the whole thing falls to fucking pieces.

>>76514
Tiki are you claiming to have seen Phantom Blood?

Stop saying crazy things.

>>76516
Cam rip subbed in Chinese it took 2 weeks of searching for followed by 3 weeks of torrenting.

Now let that movie die, it's Jojo's "THAT ONE."

PFFFFFFT FUCKING FACES GODDAMN IT

WHAT IS HAPPENIIIING?!

>>76529
An ending?

At this point I'm honestly not sure how much time we've got left on this manga.

>Jinrui Wa Suitai Shimashita
>the part with the bread

>New Hidamari Sketch
>Kyousogiga

Jesus Christ. Fall/Winter 2012 confirmed for season to end all seasons.

>>76532
Judging by the length of last arc? 100 more chapters.

Well, that was unexpected.

This is so incredibly by the numbers it's painful.
But I can't get enough of it!

>>76589

>>76589
Which is why I'm enjoying Lupin the 3rd: The Woman Named Fujiko Mine:

>Wild FUJIKO'S TITS have appeared!
>Half the guys she shows them to basically go "okay, those are nice nice"
>Half the time they just happen to be hanging out
>No one gets beat up or super awkward or labeled a pervert
>Show assumes you've enjoyed looking at her tits and moves on with the story (where her breasts may or may not be covered, but that's secondary to anything)

Why can't every anime be like this, tits or no? Why do we have to have the "he's a pervert!" scene? Even worse is when one incident makes it a defining characteristic of the group for said "pervert", and they make sure to mention it all times even if he never does anything like it again ever.

>>76595
Recurring joke. Also a trope.

>>76514
I forgot how bad the art was in the first part

>>76597
And I hate both of them with fiery passion. It's an okay trope, but all every show takes it to an extreme and beyond.

>>76598

This is going to sound weird, but I own the tank version of parts one and two, and for some reason the art looks a lot better in print. I really can't explain why - maybe it's the print quality, or the fact that you can take it in all at once - but for some reason its flaws seem less obvious than when I'm reading it on a screen.

>getting caught looking at a girl's breasts in anime

>getting caught looking at a girl's breasts IRL

>getting caught looking at a girl's breasts in anime: mallet/rolling-pin/punch/kick to the face, massive facial bleeding and swelling, but fine ten seconds later or whenever the scene changes, left with perhaps some cross-bandages.

>getting caught looking at a girl's breasts IRL: kick to the testicles resulting in life-long sexual impairment, police investigation, trial, jailtime, getting put on the sex-offender's list and never being able to live without 2000 feet of civilization.


I don't have appropriate pictures for these.

IN BARD'S PLUS4CHAN THERE WILL BE NO SEXISM

>>76622
You might want to define what you mean by "looking at a girl's breasts" here. That sounds pretty fucking extreme as a response to, say, casual gawking.

>>76627

It's called sexual harassment, and it's a catchall for anything with makes the woman in question uncomfortable while involving any part of her anatomy which Victorians might consider naughty. Any sort of structured environment such as a workplace takes any and all reports of such VERY seriously, as do the police. I was exaggerating about the kick to the nuts, yes, but as for the rest... it depends only how far the "victim" wants to push the matter. If she's fine with the accused just getting fired, then that's all he might face. That's if he's lucky. If she wants to press criminal charges... he basically has no defense against that.

I just wanna say for the record that if you are not watching Toonami, at least watch Deadman Wonderland.

>>76630
Sexual harassment requires a little more than being caught gawking once, (generally you need to have an established history of making things awkward for people based on their sex or sexuality for it to be harassment rather than just "rude" or "acting like a dipshit") and is more of a Human Resources violation than a crime. You seem to be confusing sexual harassment with sexual assault, which would generally need to involve threatening someone for sex, threatening someone with sex, or touching them in a way they don't want to be touched.

>>76630
Oh, MRA anon. There you are.

I recently started watching Sgt. Frog and I love it. I also have to say that the dub is fantastic, and is actually funnier than the original Japanese dialog.

Sgt. Frog, along with what I've seen of the Panty & Stocking dub, has given me quite a bit of respect towards Funimation. Thus far I've enjoyed both those shows more in English than in Japanese, which barely ever happens with me.

But I haven't really seen anything else done by Funimation so maybe most of their other stuff is crap? What are some shows dubbed by them that are worth watching? Fractale looks like it might be pretty neat.

>Kyousogiga

I don't know what's going on, but it's awesome.

Did Yu-Gi-Oh always have prostitutes in it
I wasn't aware

>>76635
>What are some shows dubbed by them that are worth watching?

Well they actually have a lot of shows dubbed, but Baccano immediately comes to mind.

>>76635

I don't think I've seen anything dubbed by Funimation that wasn't done, at the very least, acceptably.

But then again, all I've seen from them is Evangelion, Summer Wars, Shin-Chan, Noir, Haibane Renmei, Ga-Rei Zero, FLCL, Eden of the East, Claymore, Birdy the Mighty, and Baccano. None of those are bad dubs in my book.

>>76646
FLCL was dubbed by a company called Synch-Point (who were working for Geneon), FUNimation just acquired the rights recently and are re-releasing the DVDs. Same with Samurai Champloo and Gun X Sword.

FUNi did Nerima Daikon Brothers decidedly well, which is impressive considering it's a musical comedy anime.

>>76657
Wait, that actually got dubbed? I figured no one would touch it. Impressive.

>>76657
Actually, that was an ADV dub that FUNI scooped up once ADV died. Oddly enough, Sgt. Frog was another license they picked up from ADV, (ADV even had a trailer put together at one point) but the dub is 100% their own. Also, if you haven't yet, give their Yu Yu Hakusho dub a shot. It's their first great dub.

>>76660
Yeah, it's really good. They even dubbed pretty much all of the music (only song still in Japanese is the president's theme.)

>>76635
The only FUNI dubs I'd ever say we bad was their DBZ and GT dubs. Both have terrible scripts with even worse replacement soundtracks. Still, the original Dragon Ball and (Z) Kai are both pretty good.

>>76641
That's no whorehouse, just a classy ass flower shop.

>>76661
oops, the last two thirds of that first reply are supposed to be for the third reply.

>Jump rankings for the week
>Nisekoi is in the top ten
>Bleach, Reborn, and Medaka Box are in the fucking basement

I'm happy to say Panty & Stocking is my first day-one buy for an anime DVD (in fact it's my second ever; I usually rent or stream) and I'm loving it.

>>76673
>Bleach, Reborn, and Medaka Box are in the fucking basement
>Rebotn
that's still going??? what are they up to

did they finally wise up and make yamamoto the protag

>>76676
Pretty sure it's gearing up to end. Last I checked the final boss had made himself known.

Man, Yamamoto as the protagonist would have been awesome.

Been binging my way through the MuvLuv trilogy since my friend figured out why it previously wouldn't work on my computer.

Extra's basically a knock-off of Love Hina until you clear Meiya and Sumika, which unlocks Unlimited, wherein the game becomes military slice of life about training to fight genocidal space aliens. I'm on Alternative, the sequel to the original combo, which is uh... a lot of things. In VN circles it's commonly considered a "PTSD simulator."

>>76673
was Reborn ever good at any point? because supposedly towards the beginning it wasn't as blatantly Prince of Tennis shit-tier yaoi as it is now, although I guess the art was kind of crappy back then too

>>76689

Nope.

>>76689
It was different in the beginning, but not particularly good.

Yeah, Gashi-gashi is cool people. Here are his art links:

http://about.me/Gashi

slowpoking like a motherfucker but I just found out Barnaby's English VA is going to be Yuri goddamn Lowenthal who really needs to stop being in every fucking ever
I have no idea who Kotetsu's (Wally Wingert) done before but I gotta say with a name like that he would make a perfect superhero IRL

>TWGOK 194

OH SHIT TIME TRAVEL

I really hop we see his mom...

>>76784
Wally Wingert tends to do mostly side characters and Western animation releases, but he's got a fairly distinct voice. If you ever played the Batman: Arkham games, he voiced the Riddler.

>Still watching A Certain Magical Index, the I-wanna-kill-vampires Arc had almost no loli and the Misaka arc had some loli and pantsu~ but was still an entertaining story
>Now watching the Angel Fall arc
>Beach episodes
>lolis in swimsuits everywhere
Fuck whoever said that this show gets away from the lolis. It did, briefly. It's to this show's credit that I'm interested enough in the story for this arc (which introduces a new magical loli yay) and seeing the main character's friend in Index's Walking Church to try and ignore the loli fanservice and stick it out.

While I realize who the main character is: Scientific Railgun isn't as loli heavy, is it?

>>76808
Yeah, but to compensate the yuri takes its place.

Also as far as the arc you're on, she doesnt become part of the cast so yeah.

>>76810
>they take away the loli
>replace it with yuri
Suddenly you got me interested. Sounds about 200% cooler.

Sup, /jam/. Not sure if this counts since Disney, but would you folks know where i can watch Fireball Charming? YouTube has failed me.

Railgun is everything awful about Index multiplied by 1000.

Yeah, now I'm interested in Railgun.

>>76827
>removal of Touma
Fair
>more Kuroko
The greatest possible sin that completely overshadows removing Touma.

Index and its ilk are the poor man's Nasuverse. The only good bit in any of them is terrorist Biribiri.

It's still definitely worth it.

>>77038
I am in the interesting position that I was actually spoiled to the reveal of Episode 4. But what I read was that the Buster Machine on Titan is a fake and the real one is on Charon. Imagine my astonished squeeing when I saw the actual truth for myself.

Trust me, it's worth it just to see that scene.

Here's a crazy idea I had:

Diebuster is a Magical Girlfriend show disguised as super robots

>>77050
And here I thought it was a giant robot show disguised as magical girlfriends.

>>77055
I...guess it works both ways, if you like.

Or maybe I have a weird concept of what constitutes romantic subplot.

>>77064
So what?

Are the pilots playing Rock'em Sock'em Robots with them?

Cause I'd watch it.

Welp.
Oh well, just three more episodes to go.

THE

FUCKING GREATEST

Growing up, I watched a lot of Silent Moebius (I still miss you, TechTV) and Tenchi Muyo!/Tenchi In Space/Tenchi In Tokyo, and I remember thinking there was a lot more lesbian tension than I think there actually was.

I don't know why that didn't tip me off as a kid that I was bisexual.

>>77236
>Silent Moebius
Thank goodness I'm not the only one who saw it.
It was great, and I think the plot deviates in part from the manga, I'm not sure.

>>77238
I remember it being great, too. Violence was a bit shocking back when I was young, and every so often Katsumi's crying annoyed me, but I generally loved the show and I loved her in particular. I just love the "humans vs. supernatural" genre in general. And I remember the female characters being diverse personality-wise, badass, and relatively well-written.

I didn't get to read the manga, but I remember liking the Batman comic (manga?) by the same author.

>>77239
Katsumi was also my favorite character, and while she cried a lot, I didn't found it annoying. At the end she grew the fuck up. And the rest of the cast was cool too.
Also, DAT DONALD DUCK REFERENCE.
And yeah, Kia Asamiya is awesome, he also did Steam Detectives, Corrector Yui (a personal favorite of mine), he illustrated some X-Men comics, and more recently he was the monster designer for Kamen Rider Fourze.

>>77236
Tenchi Muyo is basically the heartwarming story of two grown women having a cosmic bitch-fight while this poor guy over here has issues with relationships.

Fuck you kyubey. And your entire race of motherfuckers.
FUCK YEAH HOMURA

Welp, one more to go.

>>77256
AWWW YUSSSS

>>77258
Yeah, even though pretty much every episode after the end of episode 3 is a Holy Shit episode, 10 onward are the Holy Shitiest.

I don't understand why people hate Kyubey. The Incubators are just fighting entropy.

>>77260
Because he's the devil. Pretty much literally--the story is fairly explicitly Faust With Frilly Dresses.

Yeah, they fight entropy...
By using teenager girls hopes, dreams and tears as ammo.

>>77262
Yup, that sums it up pretty well.

So I walked up to my brother (who had been sitting on my computer for several hours at that point) and discover that he's been binging on Evangelion clips on YouTube. He watched all of EoE.

Saya no Uta Soundtrack - Sin

>>77243
I should go check those out, then. And I definitely felt she got character development. In the end, her (and the girls from Tenchi) were all pretty kick-ass. I have a feeling Silent Moebius is the show that got me into the "squadron of people fighting professional monsters" genre I like so much.

>>77248
The thing about Tenchi is that I don't remember him being terribly interesting or worth fighting over to begin with, although that may have been because I liked the female characters so much. Although I think that is the point of most harem manga.

>>77256
It's like 90's Toonami Revival Week with this and Cyborg 009 getting movies. I think I like this better than the Cyborg movie, though, based on the trailers (again, not bad, but Jet Link's redesign is generic and makes me sad).

I wonder if they will be rereleased in America with the old dub casts for nostalgia's sake.

>>77270
Tenchi is one of the few harem protagonists who actually earn their title, and one of the VERY few harem protagonists who has good reason to be wary of all his suitors. The guy's not hot blooded at all, but he definitely knows how to act as a man.

>>77256
Niiiiiiiice

>>77243
Corrector Yui was made by Kia Asamiya? I had no idea.
I'm pretty sure we must be forgetting some important stuff, he was famous back in my time and I don't think it was just because of Silent Mobius. (Damn, I think I watched like, one OVA well over 10 years ago... barely remember anything)

>>77236
Haha I remember a writer of a local magazine used to push real hard gay undertones even in CLAMP manga that didn't have those. I mean, it's not like CLAMP needs help with that.

>>77272
There are CLAMP manga that don't have hard gay undertones?

>>77273
Well yeah. Some of them are just hard gay.

Oh shit, Maoyuu anime confirmed to be directed by the same guy who did the first season of the Spice and Wolf anime. Maybe this will be-
まおゆう魔王勇者PVver0
>PV makes it look like she used her tits to convert him
shit. Maybe this will be shit.

>>77274
CLAMP wishes it was actually enjoyable or fun as Hard Gay. Its just rank bottled fangirl dreams.

>>77283
Well, that's true half the time anyway.

>>77283
CLAMP are faghags pretending they're hip young yaoi fangirls.

>>77285
They were doing it before yaoi was cool.

>>77283
CLAMP has always been overrated, even before they lost their remaining credibility with Tsubasa and Blood-C
I hope I'm not the only one who hated their pre-noodle art style because of the way they drew the eyes and hair

I don't know what you guys are talking about, Card Captor Sakura was great, and Magic Knight Rayearth and Angelic Layer were enjoyable.

>>77289
>Angelic Layer
Takes place in the same universe as Chobits.

This is utterly unimportant to anything and is never a plot point. Why even make a point of it. I don't get it. Why? Why even bother mentioning this fact? Why did they do this? It's like randomly saying that Harry Potter takes place in the same universe as Twilight. Oh wow, that's fantastic because they have absolutely nothing to do with each other and this changes nothing.

>>77299
I dunno, why does Dogma take place in the same universe as Mallrats? It's just something creators do sometimes.

>>77299
>This is utterly unimportant to anything
Except for that one incredibly major character they both share and the technological link.

>>77289
(Guy who first brought up CLAMP here)
Agreed. CCS was pretty great, Rayearth too (though I like the anime version of Rayearth II better. Nova and Debonera are just too awesome), and Angelic Layer... actually I keep forgetting a lot about it, but wasn't bad.

I really enjoyed X/1999 (as far as it's been published), and Tokyo Babylon... uh I guess it had a couple of good moments, at least it had the Sakurazukamori in it.

Tsubasa had too much of a change in tone for me, though. The first season of the xxxHolic anime was pretty good, in my opinion.

>>77304
I enjoyed Tsubasa in fits and starts. Basically, each little plot arcs were pretty good and pretty fun, but the overarching story was a mess.

If they'd never tried the whole cross-canon bullshit whatever and just made it an original story with original characters who worldhop around and do stuff I would have been all over it.

>>77304
Ignoring the Giraffe people, I loved xxxHolic; however, it felt "unfinished"--I hear that the manga goes on for a lot more, where the anime just kind of ends with "and they all went on adventures" and then you get a Christmas episode.

>>77320
xxxHolic is kind of a drag towards the end, to be honest...

>Nanoha X Madoka (sfw) doujin

HOLY SHIT!
SO MUCH ASS IS BEING KICKED!

And if you think about the magic in Nanoha, the intelligent devices could almost be considered an artificial Soul Gem...

>Kaiba
Well, this looks promising.

...I think.

>>77393
Is that the anime with the sex explosion?

>>77398
Yup.

>>77398
>>77399
explain further

>>77373
Link perhaps?

>>77401
During the...third episode I think? That girl has sex with one of the characters and their is a crazy death thing going on where the sex is causing her to inflate while she's screaming culinary terms "Roll me, knead me, etc" and she explodes which we see in shadow and green goo.

The deal is in this anime they've got brains an memories essentially on USB so killing yourself doesn't mean all that much aside from wasting a body so as it turns out the lady is rich and wants to feel a sex explosion since she can foot the bill for a new body...or something like that, it's been a while.

>>77398
I remember it more as the show from the people responsible for this. Which is not a bad association. (Though a guilty part of me wishes how things would have looked in the show's regular art style.)

Re: previous CLAMP discussion:

>>Chobits: Completely normal guy comes across beautiful woman wearing only bandages, she turns out to have magic powers, they fall in love

>>The Fifth Element: Completely normal guy comes across beautiful woman wearing only bandages, she turns out to have magical powers, they fall in love

>>77414
>Also one of Jupiter's moons turns out to be a malevolent intelligence of absolute evil that forces a billionaire arms dealer with a really bad southern accent to end all life on earth

Kinda important, that.

>>77415
Also, only one of them ends in sex.

I've been looking into the old Tank Police OVAs and I am not happy at how the cops are shown to be right bastards but somehow are "heroes" that we should care about. Also I don't like the Mayor isn't an equally hard-ass Boss like Tom Kane. I would love to see a politician not even be phased by Leona's threats and just humiliate her through sheer intimidation.

>>77414
>completely normal guy
>Bruce Willis ex-marine cab driver
Oh wait
>completely normal guy
>Crispin Freeman

Okay carry on.

>>77429
I hadn't seen the film all the way through, so disregard the "normal guy" bit. Sorry about that.

>>77426
I noticed that in fiction in general policemen are either portrayed as perfect and valiant or completely corrupt and despicable.

You know, considering it aired a decade ago and was aimed at kids 6-11, Monster Rancher has held up pretty well. It still has a lot of corniness and silly lines and Genki is annoying as fuck, but overall it's worthwhile. Surprisingly dark at some points, too.

Also I thought the series ended completely when Genki went back to his world, so I'm happy Hulu has the entire series (well, up to 61, but they've been adding them in groups.)

>>77414
One has FEELINGS!
The other has CAR CHASES

(Flying car chases to be sure, but still)

>>77447
One has PANTSU
The other has LEELOO DALLAS MULTIPASS.

>>77448
One has CHRIS ROCK
The other has this.

oh man i still own the entire chobits manga in like. physical form. i loved the fuck out of that manga.

....I still sort of do. But I'm not crazy about the anime. (Why is Chii blonde!? :<)

>>77450
Chris Tucker

>>77453
FUCK.

>>77451
Conversely, I don't find the manga half as entertaining.

Clearly, the only way to solve this problem is to have the cast of Chobits re-enact The Fifth Element.

>>77466
holy shit id watch the hell out of that

I was going to post something else, but then I came back to Plum as Chris Tucker and I nearly spat Mountain Dew all over my monitor. This thread has made my morning.

Why am I drinking Mountain Dew at nearly 5 am when I've been up all night? I am not good with decisions.

Binbougami-ga is the best.

It's amazing how quickly my interest in Toriko drops when they're not striving for delicious food.

>>77529
Yup.

I'm hoping they eat that motherfucker.

>Sumire Yotsuya is an ordinary high school girl. She's cute, peppy, and super-energetic. And she's totally thrilled to be going to high school. She'd be fairly normal, except for one crucial difference: she's actually a puppet controlled by a middle-aged ventriloquist.

I'm a bit behind on this series. All throughout this episode, I was thinking, "Just kiss and make up already." And then Madoka forces them to literally kiss and make up.

>>77570
Then I just threw my hands up in the air and laughed.

>Japanese police in Osaka arrested 42-year-old animation director Masaki Kitamura today for allegedly threatening to drive a truck into random pedestrians and “then stabbing whoever I can with a knife before committing suicide.” Kitamura, who has directed or assistant directed animated series such as Yu-Gi-Oh, Wolf’s Rain and Mobile Suit Gundam 00, made the threat on the Osaka City government’s website. He had planned to carry out the attack on August 5th in a shopping area on Otaku Road, which houses gaming and anime stores. Police ID’d the IP address of the online posting to a wireless connection owned by Kitamura, although the director denies that he was responsible for the threat and says, “I’m completely innocent.”

>If the police are to be believed, Kitamura enjoys making threats of all kinds. They are also investigating whether he made a bomb threat against a Tokyo-to-New York Japan Airlines flight on August 1st. That threat, which also turned out to be false, forced the plane to turn back to Tokyo’s Narita Airport.
