Too bad Utena is an old show and people don't want to watch old shows. :/

Which doesn't make much sense, since everyone keeps telling me anime sucks now.
More seriously though, I really just think most people here have seen Utena and a lot of these older anime series already.

It got action! It got adorable fairies! It got backstory! It got everything! And next episode looks like it got even more!

Wrong! Being a novice (relatively speaking), just means that I get to wallow in it all.
Don't get me wrong, I'm in the same situation. Still gotta watch GiTS: SAC, Outlaw Star, Escaflowne, among many others.
Young Animator Training Project 2010 - Kizuna Ichigeki
So, what we have here is:
- Action Sakuga
- Food Sakuga
- 2D Mecha Sakuga
This one really honours the project's name (Young Animator Training Project). Everything related to the animation pleased me greatly, but what actually surprised me was how good the music was. Dat slap bass funky groove... delightful.
So yeah, anyone who hasn't seen this one and has 25 minutes to spare should get into it.

An entire episode about how Candy is a useless little shit. Well, until the end when the power of shouting produces a new power for them all and stuff. So I guess she's not useless for 2 minutes.
And if FF rules are to go by, the new Blue Akanbes are like zombies in that healing kills them. ;P

BAKUMATSU GIJINDEN ROMAN Episode 7
That wasnt a very lavish episode :/ Roman is alright though its really just not doing anything special to make it feel anything beyond becing decent and average. Oh well, shocking reveal and conclusion.

Ultra Happy is a very rare condition. In many people they exhibit no symptoms outside of being especially energetic and optimistic. However when symptoms persist, the face can be come deformed and fish eyed. If not treated quickly, the below can result.
Consult your doctor immediately if you have symptoms of Ultra Happy. The only known cure is a two day treatment of Bad Luck.
Otherwise, March x Beauty stock is rising.
This is what Ultra Happy looks like.

I am a shadow...The true self.
Nicely done action packed episode. The fights were satisfactory enough for me and all that infodump midway.

While we are on the subject of Precure, Cure Blogger did a "What Precure should you start with?" quiz thing. I don't know how accurate it is, but people might as well try it: http://www.cureblogger.com/2013/02/20/what-is-your-starter-precure/
the fanart for this would get me banned

Got Fresh Precure.
Oddly enough, if I went with the other choice (and it was a tossup at the end), would have gotten Smile Precure.
Revolutionary Girl Utena 23
I may have to rewatch this again as well, cause, well, stuff kinda gets confusing.
Yeah, I'm probably gonna have to watch this again. I really don't think I understand fully just how much is going on. Having to rewatch all of these episodes really is slowing down my viewing of this series.

So, if I understand this right, Nemuro's memories were all wrong, or the dude is genuinely insane. He keeps calling Utena "Tokiko". When he looks at her, he sees Tokiko. Does he really think she's Tokiko? It seems he does. And Mamiya and Himemiya are the same person (but then who did Tokiko return to visit?)? And nobody really died in the fire?

I don't understand.
I don't understand.
I thought fiends were out of control killing machines? How come it's suddenly so easy to create and control fiends?
With all the mahou shoujo I have watched and to not have this achievement it make me wonder just how much I have to see. The thought is kind of frightening.
Yup, just shock at the number actually being present, I'd say. People likely put in similar numbers to their hobbies but just don't have a time invested counter to make them feel bad.
:lolI've spent more hours than that watching NFL games over the past 4 years.
Yup. Each NFL game is 3.5 hours long. 16 of those per team and Ive watched a lot of games. It adds up to a ton of time.
Anyone know some good slice of life anime/ anime film that revolves around the family. If you do send them my way
Fruits Basket or Usagi Drop as people have suggested.
This is a good problem to have!

I nearly was afflicted with this. Remember when I marathoned Saikano because I was too happy? Well there you go. I would be a bloated helium Cajun right now if not for that intervention.
I made the decision to begin at the beginning and feel vastly rewarded by it. Its going to be tough to top Cure White/Honoka. I might skip to SPlash Star after Futari Wa Precure.
Overall it's better to rewatch the series as a whole rather than individual episodes.

Gonna have to second this. Even I am not fully in understanding of the ending to the Black Rose Saga. I will rewatch the show later this year anyway.

People really didn't like this episode nor this plot? It feels good to see them all working together against this common goal and to have backstory introducing us to how they all first met Kanda-kun. Still wanna know the real reason its being brought down.

Are we totally, completely, positively sure the kid's a fiend? For all we know he could just be a normal kid raised as a queerat, and therefore he doesn't have any death feedback-related problems with slaughtering humans but wouldn't be able to do the same with queerats.

I do worry sometimes. I don't want to lose you to Ultra Happy! ;P Though I should probably worry about myself as well. XD
Smile Precure 14:
In this episode, best Precures are hnng as fuck!
I have to stop for the day, or I'll be inflicted with Ultra Happy.
I don't think I will lose ultra-happy very easily. Even when work is insane I can still get back to a good mood pretty quickly.

True. Funny enough, they seem to be putting a lot of focus on the near girl. It almost makes me wonder if we aren't going to get Mashiro Symphony'ed.

Might as well as finally post this...
Kiki's Delivery Service
I should have known better given this is a Miyazaki movie, what I got instead was a coming of age story about a character trying to at a very young age become independent and the personal challenges to that arise from that. Of course this being a Miyazaki movie I also got a not so subtle jab at the negatives of life in a city and how horrible humanity is. He did get his flight shtick out of his system pretty early on though, which is a bit of a duh given much of the movie is based around it.
The story is fairly simple, albeit suitably so, and the events seem to mostly serve character development which is handled very well in this film. The real highlight though is the animation which I found thoroughly satisfying throughout. It was really charming and especially with Jiji stealing the show in that regard. Backgrounds were also a joy to look at. Pretty lewd too! And there was also :Chet which was surprising.
As for the music and voicework, again Jiji stole the show for me, very fitting to her character, Kiki's casting was very nice too. Music is Joe Hirashi so there isn't that much to discuss, it's great!
On to the release itself, it's pretty damn solid, a good transfer overall, with nice packaging and extras. (Pushing from up the poppy Hill Way too hard though.) I should watch the storyboards version next.
This is an album of the screenshots I took of the movie at various points as companion material. (I hate that minus doesn't give view counts anymore)
Kiki's Delivery Service
When I started watching this I thought it was going to be a cute anime about a girl trying to run her own business starting from failing at it to running a successful business.
No 5 tone shading unacceptable.pretty great depiction of rain down to how her clothes behave after being wet

I really liked the Jiji sub-plot with the cat and I found the ending to that really sweet.

The tiles with Assassin should be spring loaded so that if you touch them they hit you back.

The shock lemons and the dynamite cherries were the most memorable moments, just how resilient is toriko. But the cliffhanger

No, just a more antiquated competitor to MAL.
antiquated merely means they did it first.
It's always a nice feeling to catch up on Drifters. That is, read ten pages and realize that was Hirano's output for the year.
Ugh. Fuckin'
