starting Gundam 00 and I like the artstyle alot already.

First season is pretty good...I'll be interested to hear what you think after you finish the 2nd season and movie (assuming you make it that far) since opinions are quite divided on those, to put it mildly.

Accel World 17

Actually caught up with a bunch Accel World yesterday and am now current. Pretty fun series, I'd have to say. Some pretty cute character designs too...though Kuroyukihime>Sky Raker>Chiyu>Nico. Just sayin'.

As for episode 17, some pretty good action right up to the end, then

Spoiler

WTF Chiyu what are you doing? And based on the ep 18 preview we may not be getting answers for a bit.

I skipped the OP.

After the first episode, I always skipped the OP but kept listening to the ED. Not that I hate the OP since I always listen to the full version, but for some reason I never cared about it while watching the anime

I will probably marathon 00 so I post my feeling when I get to it/finish it.

I wonder if there's a bag big enough to hold all of Satoshi's salty tears of jealously over Oreki's pro detective skillz. He tries so terribly hard to be Sherlock but at the end of the day, he's not even Watson.

who needs photoshop when you've got the real thing

When did this happen?

 

[jbug617]

I noticed that their eyes are creepy except for Yui for some reason.

 

[Knux-Future]

Wait a year and see if Aniplex releases a bare bones version for cheaper over here. Otherwise watching on Crunchyroll or Hulu is your only option.

It is licensed, I cant imagine they wont do it like later next year.

I thought people said a non special edition blu ray set of F/Z part one was coming end of this year to JPN?

well that sucks....oh well hopefully my internet stops acting up then.

Thanks

 

[Taruranto]

For SD:

Where did all the men go? Why are there only female characters?

 

[duckroll]

When did this happen?

I don't see how you could have missed it.

 

[dimb]

When did this happen?

It's fake.

 

[kayos90]

When did this happen?

I'm pretty sure it was when Oreki was in the clubroom and she came to visit?

 

[Branduil]

Already looks better than Hyouka.

I don't see how.

 

[kayos90]

I don't see how.

More colorful and no shining eyes.

 

[dimb]

More colorful and no shining eyes.

Don't these two things contradict each other?

 

[Branduil]

More colorful and no shining eyes.

Those eyes are pretty shiny. Also, the character design is much worse than in Hyouka.

 

[kayos90]

Don't these two things contradict each other?

No. That screenshot shows that the world is a lot more vibrant and lush with color compared to Hyouka which aims for a bit of a faded and murky color. That's not to say Hyouka isn't bland. Just not as colorful as that screenshot.

Those eyes are pretty shiny. Also, the character design is much worse than in Hyouka.

It's a bit shiny but it complements the colorfulness of everything else. I can stand it. Whereas in Hyouka my immediately goes to the most distracting/different thing, the eyes.

 

[Dynedom]

Dammit AnimeGAF. Guess it's time I started watching Hyouka.

My anime backlog is getting scary.

It's okay. You don't really have to...

Yuru Yuri fuwa fuwa ep 6
I know this is a all girls show damn at least put some males in a comiket event. Poor poor Ayano.

It's comiket? The gif made me think it was yaoicon (sp).

 

[Nafe]

I didn't build the fucking thing!

Okay, thanks sonicmj1. I don't actually own any of the Terminator films so I would have had to rent or borrow them.

I thought about it earlier but obviously never wrote it down in regards to your lampshade comment, that the "rules" of the Terminator series are not presented to the audience as absolutes but from the point of view or understanding of Kyle and what he was told(and possibly lied to regarding destroying the time machine after he went through it.)

If someone went back in time with something like a cell phone they could maybe tell others somewhat how it's supposed to operate but probably not the specifics of the science of how it works or how to make them.
Most everyday objects to most people are likely black boxes to them in that they really have no idea of how they're made or operate but are only aware of the end use or operation of the device.

With all this said it seems my initial question is still valid and as each new movie is introduced only more valid. I'll maybe just concede that it's a silly plot oversight and the films are entertaining regardless.
You can probably do this for any film such as there really is no point to the entire ground battle of Endor in Return of the Jedi but it's fun to watch regardless.

Gintama 35

Trying to date Wakamoto's daughter when he's allowed to carry a rifle is probably a bad idea.

Gotta love the early ED, late OP and super short ED.

 

[duckroll]

It's fake.

No it's not.

 

[PdotMichael]

~4:55

but it's silly and pointless not to show her face.

 

[dimb]

No it's not.

I checked the scene in slow motion and wasn't able to see the top half of her face. I dunno, maybe I was just looking at it wrong or something.

Edit: Oh wow, I'm dumb. You're right, it's totally there.

 

[Branduil]

No. That screenshot shows that the world is a lot more vibrant and lush with color compared to Hyouka which aims for a bit of a faded and murky color. That's not to say Hyouka isn't bland. Just not as colorful as that screenshot.

More colors /= good. Hyouka has some of the best art direction of any KyoAni work.

I don't see anything on this level so far in their new show.

More colors is good for me. I like the glow in the new show compared to what's in Hyouka. I'm not saying the art direction sucks. I never said the colors in Hyouka were bad in my original statement either. I simply said it looked better and that was due to my personal preference of the ambient/vibrant color glow of the new show. Sorry for having an opinion. Jeez.

 

[Dresden]

Sorry for having an opinion. Jeez.

Stop having opinions, start having dreams. One day you too can become hokage.

Lol. I'll pass. I don't want to fight Tobi.

Those pics would look a lot better without the horrible compression/artifacting.

And anyway, you really haven't seen anything yet from their new show, so making a comparison at this point is ridiculous.

I like the toilet. Very classy.

I like the toilet. Very classy.

We need to make a comparison between Hyouka toilets and Accel World toilets. There's a world out there waiting to hear the results.

Well, we've seen the character design and those two shots. Obviously not a large sample size, but so far it doesn't seem to be on the level of Hyouka or Nichijou, both of which had art direction that was instantly recognizable as brilliant.

I like the toilet. Very classy.

Accel World take notes.

 

[Dresden]

We need to make a comparison between Hyouka toilets and Accel World toilets. There's a world out there waiting to hear the results.

The Hyouka toilet looks nice, but there's a nice avant garde quality to Accel World toilets that I find very appealing. The way they skew perspective and defy any consistent attempt to measure their size has a very Finnish expressionistic quality to it.

Would you say that the Hyouka toilet represents something which a person might actually use, while Accel World's toilets feel like a cry for help from deep within?

Oh there you go about the Fins again. It's almost like you don't even know Bulgarian expressionism exists.

 

[R_thanatos]

Where did all the men go? Why are there only female characters?

The show is called yuru yuri ... who wants Men in such a event ?

School Days - 11

Man. Everything is so tense at the first few minutes of this. And then

Spoiler

the MC does Hikari?! Is no one spared the wrath of his pimp game??

Then he

Spoiler

re-blocks Kotonoha

like the cold-hearted man he is, damn. And then

Spoiler

the bullies?! EVEN THE BULLIES?! AT THE SAME DAMN TIME?!

and Kotonoha is

Spoiler

losing her mind

and Sekai is

Spoiler

pregnant?!!!?!

WHAT IS THIS INSANITY. Oh, but what's this? It seems that

Spoiler

suddenly being a father has wrecked the MC's pimp game.

Oh and there's

Spoiler

insane Kotonoha again!

I don't know if my brain can keep this pace, I'm losing my mind...

School Days - 12

Okay, I really don't know what to expect from this now. Already the MC is

Spoiler

worst dad EVER

in the first few minutes. And...oh no. He's been

Spoiler

busted again!

And now

Spoiler

OH SHIT IT'S CONFRONTATION TIME

. And now

Spoiler

Setsuna is busted

, but hey, at least she's in

Spoiler

France!

And OH MY GOD NO

Spoiler

THEY'RE HOOKING UP IN FRONT OF PREGNANT SEKAI AHHHH WHAT THE FUCK

and euuuhhh it's extra raunchy too. God, this is hard to watch. Oh, and Sekai tried to

Spoiler

set Setsuna up with him before any of this

, wow. And oh my lord now he wants her to

Spoiler

get an abortion. And she's possibly going to?!

Now suddenly the scene is calm with the MC and Kotonoha...too calm. Oh, here's the extra-tense meeting with Sekai and

Spoiler

OH FUCK OH FUCK WHY DOES SHE HAVE A KNIFE

oh there's Kotonoha with her sis again OH SHIT

Spoiler

PIMP DOWN PIMP DOOOOOOOOOWN

uh oh there's Kotonoha, she can't be happy to see that. Oh boy, that definitely isn't the MC...and sure enough, here's a

Spoiler

no doubt unhappy Kotonoha

and oh god don't look in the bag OH GOD WHAT CONFIRM WHAT AND SHE WASN'T EITHER WHY IS THERE A BOAT WAIT

Spoiler

SHE'S CRADLING HIS HEAD AHHHHHHHHHHHH

Oh...oh my. What...how...oh.

That...all escalated very quickly in the last few episodes. I need a glass of water.

I'm sorry, but a glass of water won't save you now. Anyone who watches the entirety of School Days is beyond salvation.

 

[Dresden]

Would you say that the Hyouka toilet represents something which a person might actually use, while Accel World's toilets feel like a cry for help from deep within?

Probably. They're straining to break free, much like Silver Crow himself.

Oh there you go about the Fins again. It's almost like you don't even know Bulgarian expressionism exists.

Meh, sounds like communism.

 

[Train of Midnight]

Is School Days a hentai or something? wtf is going on.

Men?

In YuriYuri?

 

[Hellsing321]

We can't answer such difficult life questions for you. The only way is to find out for your self.

 

[Jex]

Don't worry, I skipped that too.

Like Jexhius, I'm of the opinion that OPs and EDs are road blocks on the path to enjoying my actual episodes. Exceptions are rare.

If I've seen it once I rarely need to see it again.

You know you can leave OPs and EDs on in the background.

I don't have a 'background'. I'm either watching something and devoting all my attention to it or I'm not (unless I'm doing some kind of group watch).

The time I save by skipping OP's and ED's allows me to watch more anime!

 

[Chet Rippo]

Is School Days a hentai or something? wtf is going on.

It's a VN adaptation.

 

[Jex]

There will be a new Magi PV this weekend at Comiket. Get (more) hype!

Haven't you heard? The hype train has crashed,

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

watch it. one of the most unique and memorable anime experiences of all time.

 

[Jex]

It's an SDBurton approved world only.

 

[SDBurton]

It's an SDBurton approved world only.

It's paradise.

 

[Train of Midnight]

Hmm. Perhaps I shall. Is it censored?

 

[Envelope]

It's a bad show, avoid.
