I've written about the Devilman OVA from 1987 previously, mostly to talk about how totally insane it is, but at the same time I really wanted to get people to watch it because I wanted them to experience it in all it's grotesque beauty. In particular, I had always been impressed by the sequence which opens the OVA.
Now Ben from AniPages has put together a post that goes into great length (as Ben is want to do) detailing all the staff who worked on the staff, including a number of Ghibli animators.
Now, I never realised that so many talented animators had worked on this project, or that some of them were from Ghibli. If you ever want to see what a horrendously gory Studio Ghibli movie might look like, check out Devilman: The Birth. It's this good -
Why is blood so often coloured orange, instead of the darker red it really is?
Maybe that color of paint was cheaper.
Disliking Usagi should be a crime.
Because its easier.

For effect. It's the same reason that sound effects in movies are incredibly exaggerated.
If they have the money to hire all those animators, they should at least have enough to get the colour right!
I feel like I'm the only one who likes Rei.
I honestly think a dark red would feel more menacing than orange.

I'd hope not as Rei is the best one.
Sailor V 21
This week, we get a little glimpse into the creation of the Sailor V anime!
Magical Pencils, dark endings, and troll monster fights abound!
This time, Sailor Mercury acted impetuously for once, I certainly didn't see that coming!
From the next episode preview, Ojou-sama Usagi looks cute!

First rule of late night animeGAF is we don't talk about late night animeGAF.
S1 order, all the way.
We just put the logs in the OP for everyone to judge.

Airing order is better - it was done for a reason.
Chronological order. With the existence of the Disappearance movie, watching chronologically has been redeemed.
Edit: Oh, just S1. Well, hmm, okay I suppose you should just watch it in broadcast order.
Man reminds me that I've been MEANING to re-watch Haruhi in chronological order for years. But I've never gotten around to it. I'd probably echo the sentiments here and rec going with broadcast order, it adds to the experience!!
Well that's good I don't feel so bad for watching it in chronological order.
Though by "entire", I'll most likely watch just the first and last episodes of Endless Eight.

Haruhi S1 loses all sense of dramatic flow by watching it chronologically, even if the resolution is as cliché as it could get.
the buildup and payoff thanks to the non-chronological way in which S1 is structured easily makes up for the underwhelming S2 that follows. nothing wrong with watching it chronologically a second time though!

your avatar is messing with me.
I was surprised too at this wizardry.
Seems like I depend on avatars as identifiers even more than I already thought!
The problem is, there's nothing to build up to or any payoff. It's just Haruhi is a total bitch: the anime. oh, there's a useless moeblob and dumb rei clone, too! And wannabe smartass, Kyon!
S1 order.

Decent premise and I liked the interactions between the two, but I would say it fell apart with the conclusion of this week's mystery. Or more like it didn't really go anywhere or anything was explain, but I might be asking way too much for a seven minute anime here.
So, girl who likes the occult summons a black witch and she starts undergoing training to become a black witch herself.

It's posts like this that make me wary of checking out Haruhi.

Just resign yourself to your fate pal. Itll be less painful this way in the end. Lost a ton of respect for Makoto after this episode, this was literally character assassination of the worst kind. They spent all those episodes before this one talking about her Sempai that broke her heart and how she was a maiden looking for a good guy only to pull off this revelation about how shes a childhood friendzoner. Brutal. I really hope this was just anime filler because I dont want to hate Makoto like I hate Usagi
Another pretty eh episode overall too. I really am not a fan of this arc. Usagis drawings were totally [redacted], the kind that could cause a heart attack.
Like what the hell? The monster of the weak yet again as well was doing nothing for me.

Why are you even watching contemporary anime then?
Don't listen to his lies.

When you watch the show, think of Nagato as the main character and not Haruhi. The show is much better for it.

Lupin III: The Woman named Fujiko 01:
In a word... Titastic.
I really dig the art style and animation, but man the sexualization of this one is crazy. Tits tits, ass spanking and then more tits. It's weird because normally I'm all for tits, but not only is this a bit much even for me, but to be perfectly honest I've never found Fujiko to be terribly attractive because she's shaped like a lamp post with volleyballs taped to it.

for the whole family to enjoy!
Kyouma showing more of his considerate side this episode. I enjoy his presence in the series, a good personal sign for a protag.
Also finally a decent artistic transition with
, but it's better than nothing! For a second there, I thought I would not get any from the series!
As for the story, finally some tension that I hope can carry me forward rather than giving a whole 15 minutes of rest after only 20 seconds of heart rushing pacing.

My watching priorities have been skewed. I know what I much watch next today!

the creepy Chuckie head text making Okabe run to the lab A.S.A.P. to check on Mayuri's safety. A white back with sketched Okabe with surroundings and horizontally flipped camera, to display Okabe's sudden distraught as he sprints home. The scene transitions are rushed and sprinkled heavily, which works perfect for the situation. Sketch style is not the most original choice

Haruhi isn't even ostensibly the main character. It's Kyon's show through and through.
