Frick, I recently finished a series, and now I've got so much on the go, I don't even know what to continue with.

Watched Episodes 13 and 14 of Code Geass R1

Spoiler Spoiler  SPOILER: Show
LeLouch erased Shirley's memory? Faaaaaark.
At least that Mao fellow provided a good scenario even if he is a stalker and a dick.

Hopefully Suzaku will get to do something new soon, bored of seeing him do the same 'I'm anxious about people dying' routine. I suppose Kallen could also use some new perspective, but eh IMO can wait until after the Mao / Villetta bits are done.

Also, new OP song - first I was like WHAT but then I liked it.

Episode 10 of Gosick was really good. Finally a mystery that made sense.

Victorica was really cute too. . .

Thankfully it wasn't. It happens after the last episode and gives us an opening for a 2nd season :w00:

I thought the first special (episode 12.5) was better.

Also having DURRR!! only on dvd is a crime, the glorious animation deserves better treatment :sniffle:

Fractale Ep.9

Did I hear entropy in this anime as well?

Part of the anime seems to have been cut, possibly because of concern about the earthquake and mass destruction...

Still watching SDF Macross.

Re-watched Do you Remember Love/Ai Oboete Imasuka because it got kinda boring.

DAMN, DOES DYRL LOOK GORGEOUS compared to the TV series!

^ Looks like the duct tapes police use to block out an area during investigation?

You do collect those duct tape scenes don't you? :)

Yeah, but it was inserted somewhat randomly and they occasionally throw in references so I wonder where this is from.

:lol: Those were just off the top of my head

That's a very common motif from American police scenes. I think that's all there is to it.

Meh, maybe. But it wasn't in a scene with any police or whatever in it, just a random transition frame thing. I hope that I'll get an answer sometime :tongue:

Rewatching Gankutsuou. I finally remembered what had been a niggling feeling in the back of my brain for the last few months - a show I'd seen at some point in the past of which Star Driver reminded me intensely. About two-thirds of the way through, I remember why - all this talk of best friends stealing fiancées while the strong-willed but unlucky sail the galaxy in their ships would fit right in on Southern Cross Island :lol:. This was one of my favorite anime once, I can't fathom why I'd almost forgotten it existed. Also it's solid gold when it comes to reaction images:

Borrower Arrietty blueray disc is finally available for pre-order (release date to be Jun 11). It broke the hegemony of Puella Magi Madoka Magika on anime BD top slot and is now #1 in Amazon JP ranking.

And you get an Arrietty's clothespin as an extra:

Gankutsuou is currently at the top of my rewatch list. I only recently discovered the soundtrack and I can't fathom how could only pay attention to marvelous OP/ED and not notice the great background music at all.

Yeah, a very nice soundtrack. I'm rather fond of its oscillations between hilariously old-school over-the-top orchestral cues and subtler more modern stuff with a lot of guitar. It's not really the sort of thing you expect from an anime, and it's used more cleverly than most anime OSTs. Actually that goes for a lot of Gankutsuou - it uses what it has to work with very, very cleverly.

I believe that dichotomy is the direct result of involving both works by actual classical composers (e.g. Tchaikovsky and Rachmaninoff) and having an actual rock artist (Jean-Jacques Burnel) on the production team. I think it really worked with the retro-future.

You're just watching Negima!? ?

For some reason I thought you would've watched that ages ago. :lol: But yeah its great. Its one of the few SHAFT shows that even has an US release. :D The OP is even in English.

Finished Mononoke. Cool, cool. Also about half way through Soul Eater. Really not that bad, fun setting, legit characters.
