Rock Lee's Springtime of Youth 1

It's pretty meh. The first half was terrible and the second half was a bit better but not by much. I could maybe see these working as short five minute segments at most. As it stands, they're way too unfunny and protracted to hold my interest for long.

Yeah I liked the second better, but if they were shorter would have been more effective.

I still wonder why the anime studio decided to do this anime.
 
Black Rock Shooter OVA

Hmmm. Quite different from the TV series. There were a few things I liked better and a few things I didn't like as much.

The good stuff first. This version of Yuu is better. Then there's also the character interactions between Yomi and Mato. The jealousy that came from Yuu "butting in" on Yomi's time with Mato was very believable.

There was also a friendship montage!

That's about all I liked better though. The animation and choreography wasn't as good and there were too few other world segments. It just didn't have the visual flair of the tv series and that was my reason for watching in the first place.

Not bad though. Just not as good as the TV version.

Give it a few more episodes. I didn't think the manga was that good at first either. Then there was a Hinata chapter that I found absolutely hilarious. Should be great if they get to that (which they should since it's relatively early).
 
I watched all of Chihayafuru over 3 days
Tell me GAF, will there be a second series? D:

Bam! I knew Moeka wouldn't stay with the lab for long. Who trusts a woman that texts for 95% of the time? But the ending...

@Ending:

Panda - Ending
Shopper - Me


Holy snapples.

Hey, guys, what's that sound I hear?

It's the sound of shit getting real.

Fuck yeah, Steins;Gate. I need to rewatch you.

Is Usagi Drop a good watch? Looks like my kind of show

Yes, watch it.

Hell yeah, it's getting real! I am ready to watch more right naow!

For Steins;Gate know-its, it seems that Okabe gets quite a bit of one-on-one female interaction. I know that it was a visual novel, but wasn't sure if it had romance elements or not. Did it? Just curious....or should I just keep watching?

Butterfly attack!
I'll start with the positives. I like the world, it seems pretty awesome, lots of possibilities, the whole Burst Brain system seems very RPG-ish which doesn't surprise me that an actual RPG is coming out soon for this, and I could easily see myself watching this for more of the fighting and action.
But, boy oh pig, do I hate the Main Character. What a terrible design choice to make him round and look completely different from everyone else. What you couldn't make him look ordinary or something and maybe a little shorter like Keiichi from Ah My Goddess? But, no let's go all the way into this round blob of a MC. And, he has a pig as an avatar? In a world where you can customize yourself into pretty much anything from a cat girl to a girl with the biggest butterfly wings I have ever seen, you choose a pig? In addition to his non-existent self esteem, which I can hardly look forward to him dealing with, you got the making of a terrible MC.
Maybe if they focus less on the MC, I'll probably be willing to keep watching this.

My favorite one!

I like her, but she's the absolute worst in the series. She's even worse than
a boy
, ffs.

Just keep watching, haha.

Just keep watching. :D (I don't actually know 100%, I think it had a romance element)
 
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.
I'll take ten.

Yes. I really hope it gets a S2 someday.
Second trailer of Hosoda's Okami Kodomo no Ame to Yuki has been posted, with quite a bit of (good-looking) new footage.
I wonder how much ground the movie is going cover - seeing as the trailer seems to have sequences of the mother in her teens and how she met her husband all the way to the birth and taking care of her children. Mmm this might be the Tree of Life of Anime films.

We already know what its gonna cover. The story is about the kids and their relationship with the mother, the other stuff is the background.

Probably without the dinosaurs.

And without the creation sequences.>:
Even completely non-sexualised nudity such as in, say, Ghost in the Shell.

Sad, really. Breasts never hurt anyone.
I suppose it's the mentality of "why would you film / animate this is it really necessary?" and i bet "the director / animator is a perv" kind of thing in regards to nudity of any kind in animation and film, regardless of whether it's sexualised or not.:p

Of course I asked those same questions when I watched Eiken for the first time.

But the nudity in Ghost in the Shell is 120% necessary!
