Gus Hanson: Nah, no need to watch Zeta. They may have said that because a character from Zeta appears very briefly in 0083, but you don't lose anything from not having seen Zeta.

The animation is really good from my perspective, but I do watch about 10-15 anime every season, so you can imagine that in comparison to most of these(nearly all, really) Progressive is better looking. As you said, it's about perspective. That's ok, I just struggle to accept you giving this an 8/10...

you can see that they were very unpleased with what was going on with the sequels. I'll give the making offs a look, but I'll just say that being unpleased doesn't mean that there isn't passion in the sequels. Again, it probably would have been better if they weren't sequels, but some producers hav...

I think the opinion people have on these sequels depends a a lot on how much one likes the original FLCL. Make no mistake, I like the original, and it's clearly superior to these sequels, but I think it is reductive to call them cash grabs. While the people that made the sequels aren't the dream tea...

Finally watched these: FLCL Progressive : This probably didn't even need to be a sequel to FLCL, but it still works. It's carried quite a bit by it's wonderful animation(particularly episode 5, like Gendo'spapa mentioned) but I don't think animation is it's only strength. The calmer mood gives a dis...

It's good to have a complete adaptation once in a while. I'm hoping for more amazing character animation, the second season was gorgeous.

All the things you wrote about happen nearly every year. I'd say there's no reason to be more negative about this year than any other that came before it.

Babylon : So, this wild ride is done. I'm not sure what to think about all this, but I can say with some confidence the second arc wasn't nearly as good as the first. Really, most of this America stuff could have been removed and I wouldn't care much, even though it brought some moments of unintent...

Wow, ok. I wasn't expecting this reaction. Anyway, I'm back. It was an awesome trip, but I'm still tired from the long voyage back. To hopefully clear up the doubts that popped up, this trip was being planned for quite a few months and I went with my sister. She certainly couldn't go in the summer, ...

^ despite you not being able to due to being low on money? Not being able to go when the Rebuild comes out. I have money now. And I'll have money after the Rebuild comes out. Just not when the movie is coming out. Also I'll maybe have an excavation around that time. TLDR I wish I had more money to ...

I'm going to Japan. I wish I could also go when the final Rebuild movie comes out, but I just don't have that kind of cash. Oh well.

See you guys in 11 days or so.

Best Sequel: Boogiepop and Others Worst Sequel: Kino's Journey (It was a decent comedy though :p) But, neither is a sequel. Kino is part remake, part new content and Boogiepop is a prequel, I guess? It's set before the older anime, isn't it? If I had to choose a best sequel I'd probably go with Mus...

This feels like a consequence of the gigantic teams of people that work on games these days. With so many people, there's bond to be at least one guy that doesn't care and does stuff like this.

Okay, starting with movies: -The Wind Rises -The Monogatari movies -In this corner of the world -Wolf Children And my favourite movie of the decade is Kaguya Hime. And for series -Asobi Asobase -Chio-chan no Tsuugakuro (these two are my favourite comedies of the decade) -Shin Sekai Yori -Space Battl...

You saying you didn't notice the animation being far from ordinary kinda blows my mind, tbh. Yeah, the only experimental animation I remembered was the one in episode 15. I'm just going to defend myself by saying I was like, 16 when I watched it. It is interesting though, how I remember some things...

So, would there be any ground rules concerning this? I second this. Am I just supposed to give a list of 2010 favourites? Anyway, not a single one of you mentioned Shin Sekai Yori or Space Battleship Yamato 2199 or Rakugo, and yet, you all mentioned Kill la Kill. Disgusting. I'm displeased with all...

Guess what? Season over. I watched less anime than usual this season, and most of them aren't noteworthy enough for me to mention them: some isekai, a harem... harmless stuff that I mostly forget after I watch it. Anyway: Psycho Pass 3 and the new movies - The sequels no one asked for! I didn’t expe...

Well, that's that I guess. I was a fool to think Pleaides meant Gainax might be on a recovery. Now I can only hope Hiroyuki Yamaga manages to get over all this and make more anime. He's basically the only key member from the old days in this sinking ship.

Just a few more months! I feel like the wait is going to be much worse than the one for 3.0.

Are you trying to give me depression? Just because no one uses forums anymore doesn't mean we'll have to follow them to the grave. Sure, the last movie is getting closer, but we can last longer than that, cant we?
