Do they? I see lots of lime green logos. I think time delay might hurt a series like this even if its only a few days.

Is the delay severe for non-members? I see it high up on the "popular" section and I assume it is doing better than before.

So, I can't spam Anno-Hates-Everyone.jpg pics?

Awww...

I'd say that more of an Anno hates himself picture.

Yeah, majority is hating himself...

Guys, I think I like anime

Your life is over. Sorry.

 

[cajunator]

RIP Jintor.
So young.

 

[Articalys]

Episode 11 is now complete #garupan

So, yeah.

 

[Milamber]

So, yeah.

11 and 12 should be 1 hour each to appease the masses.

It's hard to decide which side skit character is my favourite in Nichijou. Tsundere weapons girl is great. Male lovesick professional teacher is great. The Principal is great. Bow-head girl is great.

No Professor/Sakamoto skit?

Why?

 

[Jintor]

They're a main skit.

 

[wonzo]

welcome back prose

So, yeah.

Must be one hell of an episode if it took them that long.

Everything with Nakamura in it is up there, having some of the most funny moments in the show.

Why?

I really like how her mouth opens for some reason. Maybe it's because her mouth widens as it opens and because she's tilting her head as she opens her mouth. It just looks nice.

So good that I can't decide between the three. The lovesick teacher is great too. Misato and Sasahara are definitely the strongest comedic side pair.

Serious question: don't you ever think your sliding down the ice towards a ravine and there's nothing that you can do to stop it?

I did when I watched that second season of 00. Turns out keeping one's expectations in check goes a long way. Who knew?!

New Getter Robo end

I don't really have the motivation to write up a big post about this ova series, but I did enjoy it quite a bit. Ryoma is quite the hot blooded bro. Would like to see him in a production with the energy of something like Shin Mazinger or Gurren Lagann.

Have you watched Getter Robo Armageddon yet? Because Ryoma's even better in that.

THEN WHO WAS EVA 00

If theories are to be believed and Unit 00 is

Spoiler

Rei I

than that statement still sort of holds.

I now understand this reference!

Even the most basic Eva discussions lead to massive, theory crafting can of worms stuff. I love that fact.

Which makes the prospect of trying to write my impressions of the whole thing, pretty ridiculous. At least without descending into navel-gazing. I've aborted it twice!

 

[Jintor]

My god, some of these art shift jokes in Nichijou are side-splitting. The 'unimpressed face' sequences in particular are glorious.

/edit holy shit igo soccer is even weirder than I thought

 

[Kazzy]

Yep, they are the best jokes.

Shush, they're not the only ones!

Futari Wa Precure 13

After taking a bit of a break to hang out with my roommates a bit and get out of my room, its time to resume.
Honoka and her science club are coming up with an idea for a project using electricity.
A mysterious transfer student shows up at the school. No WAY this guy could be bad right?
Once the presentation is ready to be shown to the school audience, naturally someone has to create a monster from it. After the usual fun fight and defeating Zakenna, the project is shown again.

Spoiler

It is a model of simulated Earth weather and named after Honoka's lab partner instead of her taking all the credit.

This is why Honoka is the best girl.

No Professor/Sakamoto skit?

Why?

This gif NEVER gets old.

Guys, I think I like anime

Get out.

A lot of perfectly short skits in Nichijou make great gif material...

The thing that really completes this skit is the single woodblock sound effect at the end when the "100 points" pops up.

 

[Dedication Through Light]

Just caught up on Shin Sekai Yori and hot damn has this show gone places. The suspense, characters, music, art and story are just fantastic. It sucks that the show isn't doing so hot on the physical sales, but I'm glad Crunchyrollers are at least checking it out. I think this is my first post in here. You people are gonna make me go blind due to speed lurking.

Edit: Oh, and Space Brothers is one of the best shows ever.

Why is Space Brothers such a highly acclaimed anime?

 

[Milamber]

Brotherly love.

EDIT: Really, it's the characters. You feel like rooting for them you know.

 

[Dedication Through Light]

I will join ToonamiGAF the moment F/Z or Gurren Lagann shows up. Just to join in on the fun.

I cant see fate/zero ever ending up on toonami, it is too cerebral. Aniplex would be wiser to put Sword Art Online on it.

 

[cajunator]

Why is Space Brothers such a highly acclaimed anime?

Because it is pretty consistently excellent with a inspirational and uplifting soundtrack and really relatable characters that you want to see succeed.

 

[zeroshiki]

I mean it's okay to hate on Gurren Lagann, but how could that show turn you off GAINAX after years of stinky crap like Mahoromatic?

HiMM and This Ugly and Beautiful World one after another basically killed them for me.

 

[cajunator]

HiMM and This Ugly and Beautiful World one after another basically killed them for me.

He Is My Master was pretty fun but I agree with you on Kono Minikuku mo Utsukushii Sekai. It was awful. Most phoned in "anniversary" show ever made. Completely average show that played off the popularity of Mahoromatic right down to the identical character design (which is to say Hikari and Akari were SUPER CUTE)

 

[Jarmel]

Mars Daybreak are better.

I just wanted to come in and laugh at this statement.

 

[duckroll]

Valvrave is going to have some pretty kickass themes.

OP: T.M. Revolution x Nana Mizuki
ED: Angela

It's like SEED x Fafner to the max. Lol!

Edit: http://www.valvrave.com/music/

Looks like there's 1 OP and 2 EDs. The second ED later on will be by Elisa. This probably means it's a 1-cour show? Maybe?

Oh, don't say that - I mean, at least Hisashi Hirai is doing the character designs for another show!

In any case, I like all of these things in moderation - actually, I'm way less hot on Nana Mizuki than TMR and Angela, but I'm probably in a minority there(?).

(There was a cover of the Fafner OP on one of the recent iM@S CDs. Strikes me as being a rather brave thing to do, but actually turned out OK).

Angela is the best part, sad if its only at most 13 episodes.

People at these day not appreciating unique world and setting.. sigh.

I'm not gonna fighting in this losing battle though.

 

[duckroll]

The second Valvrave ED starts from ep7, so yeah, sounds like it's 1-cour. Maybe 12 episodes?

 

[Articalys]

Two high-profile ED artists for a one-cour show? Eh, whatever works for them.

Sacred Seven redux.

Spoiler

I'm ok with that

 

[duckroll]

Looks like they spent so much on the artists they couldn't even afford to fund a second OP, so they just dumped both high profile OP artists together in a collaboration!

 

[DiGiKerot]

Sacred Seven redux.

Spoiler

I'm ok with that though

Sacred Seven was just them switching the OP and ED themes around, though, rather than having a completely different song.

All I know is that single is going to go berserk on the Oricon charts.

 

[duckroll]

The Valvrave site helpfully has all the new cast details in English as well, so I don't have to translate anything. Knock yourselves out: http://www.valvrave.com/staffcast/

Too bad the rest of the site update isn't fully functional yet. There's a new PV too.

 

[PsionBolt]

Dokidoki! Precure - 3

Well, it was a blue episode, so it had a lot of blue in it. Consequently, it wasn't nearly as interesting as the pink / purple episodes before it, since Blue is a much less interesting character.

I do have to applaud Rikka for tryng to use SCIENCE on the magical items. That's pretty classy.
Her calling out the creepy jewelry guy for being a creepy stalker was also nice. Between that scene this week and her "swallow" line last week, it seems she's sailing the seas already...

MakoP manages to earn points without even appearing in the episode, thanks to Mana gushing over a poster of her. I can't wait until she returns.

Next episode seems to be a Pumpkin episode. She's way last in rankings, so good luck. I don't imagine anything will change from the established Decade = Blade > Blue >>> Pumpkin, though.

He's gonna think there are tons of fanarts of Mutta and Hibito frenching each other. Which might be true, but that's not the point.

Neat designs overall.

I maintain that "L-Elf" is an incredibly stupid name.

So Shoujo - yet so good. Wanted to see Chihaya fight for that final card though.

The new Valvrave PV is up now: http://www.valvrave.com/movie/

Pretty short...

To be fair, it's labeled as PV ver.1.5, so it's not like they're trying to show anything new off right now. Probably just a slight recut for the website relaunch.

I still give them props for, like you said, adding English translations to a lot of the site and PV.
