This is the superior interpretation of "bread", yes.
This is glorious.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOI hate to break the news to you
but it pulls a ben-to
If they play it right, though, it won't reach that part. Or at least I hope it won't.

I know there are a lot of bad OPs and EDs this season...but no.
That really is awful. Its trying way too hard to be "cutE" and failing.
Instead its just embarrasing.

You know I can't take you expecting good things from Bebop seriously!
It's some of the jankiest dancing since the ass-shaking in the Kampfer ED.

Considering the director of Sankarea has already made substantial changes in tone and presentation from the manga, I have no doubt he has a very deliberate vision and have faith that he is capable of achieving it. Whether production difficulties or lack of other talented staff members will prevent him from doing so remains to be seen.

So, there should be a version of Nyaruko-san where Wakamoto voices Nyaruko-san now. It just has to be.
Ben-to would have been garbage regardless of where the source material went. It was one dimensional and bad from the get go, of course it wasn't going to get better. Sankarea might turn out bad, but I don't see it following a path like Ben-to's at all.
I haven't seen sankarea the anime yet(and won't be seeing it for quite sometime),but what's different? have you read the manga to compare it to it?
I once liked sankarea manga but that was a longtime ago.

Ginga e Kickoff! 01
Then I went on to this. The football animu of my dreams.
They are playing football! And it doesn't look like shit!! It even has a main character named Erika who is all about girl power! It's not like The Knight in the Area where I was expecting some nice-looking matches with decent animation but got cardboard-cutout shit. I didn't care for the melodrama, nor the cast full of dipshits (Seven aside). I just wanted football, and that didn't deliver.

I am sorry to admit that I did. I'll be going back through everything eventually.
Sankarea 2
It's surprising that this show is still so competent. Though I think some of the fanservice detracts from the point of the episode a bit. It will be interesting to see what happens when Mamoru Hatakeyama doesn't storyboard an episode.
Well this show ended up being creepy for entirely different reasons than I expected.

I don't know, I found Bebop to be be a pretty boring character.
I thought that guy Ed was pretty cool. I don't get why he wore such tight pants though.

Bebop did some pretty terrible things to me, personally.

Nakamura is really a big fan of weird, eccentric characters who dominate the action. This is the third time that they've played a major role in one of his shows.
Anyway, this is just another boring tale of a transfer student named Yuki who has trouble moving around a lot - it really stresses him out, like a certain character in another show this season. One day he encounters a boy named Haru and, er, they go fishing and stuff.
There's lots of 'sakuga' moments thanks to the folks over at A-1 pictures. Pretty much every scene in this show is a joy to look at whether it's the pleasant designs, joyful colours or excellent animation.
There were a number of cuts and sequences which felt like Nakamura's work, but I see on ANN that this episode has three story boarders and two directors - perhaps that would explain the variety of different sequences that were contained in this brief, but thoroughly enjoyable 23 minute show.

Yeah Cowboy Bebop is a pretty cool kid. Always sitting at his computer and hacking away.

How DARE that elf bastard insult Rick's bread doesn't he know that Rick's bread is the hottest shit on the island? Even a random catgirl is traversing a distance to try Rick's bread, their business can't keep up with bread sales damnit, even Sylphie that looks like a Kyubei reject with a pimping ahoge couldn't resist Rick's bread, I want to punch that guy in the face for his transgression the outrage of it all.
lolwtf at that ED.

Easy Mode!
From this viewpoint, cajun is open to just about everything.
Bah! I take Jex's reviews less to heart by the week!
Tsuritama was good enough, but didn't really click with me. I'll be watching infrequently to see if it does.
When I watch Cowboy Bebop in full from beginning to end, will I actually find out if Ed is a boy or a girl?
I just realised I never found out as a certainty after all these years. D:

She's a girl. Wantanabe said the character was originally conceived as a boy, but decided the gender ratio was too unbalanced for the main cast and changed him to a her.
So far!

Too reasonable for AnimeGAF

I think icarus gained a new nakama, and your avatar is hilarious.
I wish I could say more but, I will just say continue the manga when you're done! And I'm not disappointed with Ruka at all haha.
You're gonna have your haremshit, and you're gonna like it!
I was semi-interested in this. I'll check it out.
Kimi ni Todoke 25 END
Such a great show with fantastic supporting characters. I love the concept behind Yano and Yoshida;
two delinquent girls opening up to the timid Sawako and ultimately becoming a trio of best friends. And once again I have to say Kazehaya was a breath of fresh air. Seeing him struggle with his emotions instead of being the cool headed playboy that can switch emotions on the fly is so damn refreshing.
I was kinda bummed that Ryu didn't confess his feelings to Yoshida (especially after he was so blunt with her, saying that he was glad she finally understood that she couldn't pursue his older brother anymore). And what was up with that Yano/Pin moment when he scared off the guys hitting on her at the shrine? lol
I'm really glad I took the time to watch this. Thanks again Solune for recommending this. I'll be sure to watch the 2nd season next.
Speaking of slower paced, I'm surprised how much people fawn over Ayu in Kanon 2006. She got waaaaay too much screen time given her backstory. But then, every girl who wasn't Makoto or Nayuki got waaaaay too much screen time in 2006.
Important question: How did you keep all that soap out of your eyes from the bubbles?
