Are you still in Europe?

Yep. We just got to Amsterdam. Fly home on Monday the 11th.

Belgium is insane for comics, particularly Brussels. I ran into a couple anime stores that put stuff in Seattle to shame.

I tried watching the first episode of X-Men and got about halfway through it. It was just...ZZZZZZzzzzzzz. A crappy version of Jean as Dark Phoenix going down, and then the rest of the X-Men going all emo over it. I take it that Armor is playing the Kitty Pryde/Jubilee cartoon role as the token newbie.

Summer 2012.

If it ends up like that Dante's Inferno or either of the Dead Space films, who gives a shit.

A good mass effect film would be welcomed.

Both of those were produced by Film Roman.

Up to episode 7 and it is still as good, if a bit repetitive. (Come on BONES, we don't need to see GINGA BISHOUNEN entrance and that slutty maiden singing every episode.)

I did my bi-yearly eva rewatch yesterday because I was in the mood. Watched 1.11, 2.22, then Death(true^2) for my Kaoru <3 and then EoE.

I still don't know if the show/EoE were actually any good in the plot writing, but they're always entertaining from an artistic perspective. Also watching the movies and then the TV recap/EoE back to back, WOW the movies are so much happier. The TV show/EoE is just a fucking depressed mess, but the movies are really nice and satisfying even with their darker moments. I really hope the last movie continues this and makes the movie version of Eva the "I'm not depressed anymore - Anno" version.

So I think I'm going to pass on this season because I found out that making your own season of good backlog is even more fun!

My season until July shows:
-Diebuster
-2nd half of Durarararara
-Victory Gundam

and I might add in some Higurashi season 2, House of Five Leaves, Katanagatari and Shiki if I have free time.

Though I'm thinking I'll still watch Dororon. I haven't seen ep1 but the screencaps have that awesome Go Nagai artstyle.

Yeah, I watched 12.5 over the weekend (I had stopped after ep12 since that was the end of the first arc). Will watch 25 after 24.

12.5 was better than pretty much every anime airing these days. Durararara is soooo good. I stopped after the first half because it was so A++ that I didn't want to have it end

I hope this team does another set of novels by this author; Baccano and Durarara are freaking good!

to be fair, everyone is stupid right now.

I don't understand the logic behind keeping him locked up anyway. We know that Naruto alone is stronger than all of Konoha from the Pain arc, and he has become a lot more powerful recently. So they hide him away all because Madara's plan is to capture him? and this strategy was made with the ENTIRE NINJA WORLD working together? why not send him in to fight and have all those powerful kage characters guard him? and Madara's plan would require both Killer Bee and Naruto, so you put them together in the same place? what? have Bee chill in hiding while Naruto fights awww this shit is dumb

and where is Madara anyway? his eye technique can kill anyone but he just kinda saunters away from the battle while zombies and clones fight for him. All this time Sasuke is just sleeping in a room waiting for his eyes to heal. This 'war' feels is more a 5 minute skirmish from different perspectives.

It's amazing how low quality Naruto and Bleach are compared to Hunter x Hunter even in its recent (and fairly weak) arc. Before Togashi took another break, the chapters were killer. Every fight and action fit together. Scenes have urgency and purpose; it didn't feel like a messy distraction until the author finds the place to go.

Bebpo · « **Reply #2978 on:** April 14, 2011, 01:31:45 AM »

Dororon Enma ep1 was aweeeeeesome. Totally perverted with great art/animation/music. Brains Base doing Go Nagai apparently = great stuff.

Otoh, I finished Mazinkaiser SKL and that was a pretty Go Nagai mecha OAV. Ep1/3 are entertaining enough to be watchable, ep2 is filler but it was bad. The fights were terrrrible and there's like zero character development, lol.

There is an ep in Aquarion about smelling people's feet.

Thus Aquarion is more entertaining than all of Vandread.

Anyhow, you should watch more than ep1. I watched ep1, thought the show sucked and didn't watch it. Then 3 years later when it was on dvd and everyone said it was good I watched it and wished I had been watching it while it aired.

Star Driver

My humble opinion: watch first episode then skip straight to the last.

Final episode was so goooood. Sexcellent animation, great twist and a good ending which is, a surprise coming from BONES. (if a bit too happy.)

Takuto goes BATSHIT INSANE. He SPACE FUCK EVERYONE just because HE CAN SEE IT. If only he did that the past 24 episodes, what a shame.

And this is why Star Driver is a wasted potential; we needed more hot blooded space fuck action, less yaoi girls uguu.

North American anime distributor Funimation launched the open beta of its new website on Thursday. The site, which has been available in closed beta form for four weeks, now indicates that Funimation will simulcast the television anime C (for CONTROL) starting on April 21 at 12:45 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time (EDT). The site also now hosts a special message video from the anime's director, Kenji Nakamura.

The site is also now hosting a clip from the original Gainax television anime Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt. A press release confirmed that the company has acquired the DVD rights to the series and will release it in North America in 2012.

Funimation Marketing Manager Adam Sheehan confirmed via Twitter that users in Canada can watch all of the videos on the beta site. In a press release, Funimation indicated its plans to launch a premiere paid subscription for the site "later this year."

In the video, Nakamura introduces the series, which takes place in an economically troubled future Japan, in which the "appealing characters put their future on the line as battles unfold." Nakamura also addresses the recent difficulties of Japan as the result of the March 11 Higashi Nihon Daishinsai (Great Eastern Japan Earthquake) disaster, promising that the staff will not become discouraged despite the troubles.

An English-subtitled trailer for the series is also streaming on the site.

Noitamina's head editor Kōji Yamamoto revealed the original television anime this past December. Funimation announced in April 2010 that it had entered into a simulcasting agreement to stream Noitamina titles on its website. Anime News Network Australia will also simulcast the series starting on April 22.
