FINALLY!

http://www.orendsrange.com/2013/11/m...ga-is-now.html

So after 9 or so years it's finally coming to an end. damn I feel old.

I'm just too happy to feel old.

About time, I am so sick about hearing about this god awful series.

Akira - Got to see this at the Alamo Drafthouse a little bit ago and it was quite awesome on the big screen. The animation was so nice and crisp that it was just gorgeous to see. Unfortunately, nice animation still cannot fix the convoluted plot, but that is okay, it still tells a great story despite its confusing ideas and symbolism. I still think the movie should have a subtitle called The White Reset Button. ANyway, great animation, an excellent score, and likable characters make me give this movie an 8/10.

I've only just caught up with this. Yeah, this show sure got weird quickly.

Up to 7 on Macross Frontier, which is basically the point I left the show at last time, not because I didn't like it, it simply happened.

Still, with the production quality, the incredible insert songs and engaging story, Frontier is an unique experience, almost cinematic.
So far I really like it, and it doesn't hurt that the VF-25 is one of my all time favorite mech designs.

Indeed, it was all smooth sailing and then Guillorilla!?
Crazy. :lol

Could go either way but it was definitely interesting.

And up to 11 on Frontier, the most interesting episode of this set probably was 10, where they filmed a movie based on Macross Zero (which I have yet to watch), it was a very interesting idea, a nice way to homage the series and build upon the entertainment business in the world of Macross.

Main things of note are Brera totally not related to Ranka, the green pet thingy totally not a Vajra and Sheryl's declining health.

Gundam 00 season 2 episodes 8-13

Damn. Jumping back in and this is still amazing. We learn about Terraria and his Origins as an innovator and the pressures he has from his look alike and Celestial Being. Along with that, I know that at a point, the GN particles mess with quantum brainwaves due to that base assault.

That beam weapon is scary as all hell and I got to see even more dark Saji and Louise moments. And hallejuah's back. I don't know what the hell they are gonna do with all of these innovators standing around but I'm sure Mr. Bushido will put them to decent use.

Nice mid season upgrade, 00 Gundam. What, you're trying to sell an extra toy? Okay, but as long as you use it well I'll let it slide. What makes this season feel a lot different is that the battles are always on edge, completely different from all of the troops that got slaughtered by Celestial being in the first half of season 1. However, with the 00 Raiser, the tension that has made this season a lot more dark is now gone, at least for Setsuna's Gundam.

Can I say that I love the amount of great female characters in this series? Louise is having awesome character development and the dilemma of her emotions with Saji interfering with her dream is really interesting. Marie has been really strong willed through the course of the series and supportive of everyone. That innovator bitch with the mobile suit using the beam cannon is a strong willed as Graham when he led the flag fighters last season. Even though Miss Sumaragi's story has mostly wrapped up, the pitting her against her tactician friend dynamic is really interesting along with her strive to end war. Nena Trinity was cool in season 1 but now is cursing around with no purpose. Coming off of Gundam Wing, which was a sausage fest, this is a nice change of pace (aside from the fact that the ladies all have huge ass tits)

Genuinely don't know what to make of Samurai Flamenco any more.

It would be utterly hypocritical of me to call it stupid and I can't deny that I'm enjoying the hell out of the very obvious Shocker references, but it all feels so bizarre. Seven episodes of building up this very real and somewhat heartwarming world to suddenly throw it away by making a massive U-turn and turn it into a real henshin hero show. It might have been fine if there was some sort of build up to it, but we've gone from thugs and drug dealers to suicide bomber animal mutants.

I really hope the show has some logical explanation for it all, but episode 8 didn't even feel like the same show.

Wait...what? What's the point of spoiler tags, if you're just going to say the exact opposite of what actually happened. Aside from Sheryl's declining health.

It's just speculation, better safe than be sorry.
And the "totally not" is a lame joke. :p

It was too drastic, I mean the show is still enjoyable but it's completely different.

Time will tell if it was a good choice or not.

ok. You worried me. I was like "What version of Macross is he watching? or am I misremembering it, but there's no way I would misremember those things..."

Well... the Vajra are totally not monsters. :p

Robotech Frontier! Only on SyFy. :p

I have to try harder next time. :lol

I meant because you said Robotech. Friggin' Harmony Gold.

I know that feel. :P

Did you hear about how they're trying to sue Hasbro for their Jetfire SDCC set?

Do you read minds? I was thinking about that. :lol

Just... Harmony Gold... that describes the situation perfectly.

Up to 13 on Frontier (it took me hours just to watch those two. :P)

And boy things escalated quickly, the battle between the Messiah and Lucifer was incredibly badass, I need more Valkyrie vs Valkyrie fights.

I read that without any context.

So Jesus is fighting Satan and both of them are Warrior Women of Norse Mythology?

... the fuck!? :lolol

Messiah and Lucifer are the names of the planes (Valkyries), the Vf-25 and Vf-27 respectively, so no, it was simply a mech fight. :lol

G Gundam episode 9

Its alright..... I love the woman to woman moment that Rein has with the British guy's wife, possibly foreshadowing an event to come. Plus we got to see George again and his stereotypical French Gundam fighting a stereotypical British Gundam.

Gundam 00 season 2 episodes 14-19

This is getting so fucking intense. I want to start off with the fact that I was shouting fuck you at the Tv at the beginning of episode 18 after the solar reactor cracked. When the federation government was lying to people, I was literally screaming Fuck you at my TV. Seriously, I now hate the federation government and the innovators with a passion.
The cu de ta story was interesting and I wanted it to go somewhere beyond, "Evil world governement won and the truth didn't get out."

The return to the middle east stuff with Setsuna was okay but I got to see Bushido's trans am. Is it just me or is Mr. Bushido never in this show at all?

And Marie went back to being Soma Peries when Colonel Smearnof died. God damn, do I hate this character regression. But now she's fighting in a mobile suit with everyone else. Saji finally found Louise through 00 raiser's brainwave bullshit or something, and he is dedicated to bringing Louise back. Lock-On's relationship with Anu is kinda random. Neal Delonde lock-on was a deep enough character but they replaced him with his twin brother and removed all the character development.

And Nena trinity is back. Fuck yeah.

Needless to say, Gundam 00 has made me a huge fan of the franchise

Caught a screening of Madoka Magica 1 and 2 at the local Alamo Drafthouse yesterday. All refreshed for the screening of the 3rd movie that I'll be catching next weekend.

does anyone know if Dish still has the anime network and if so how do I find it?

Up to 18 on Frontier and 6 on Haganai NEXT.

Really liked this week's episode of Flamenco, how the shock of real monsters was almost inmediately absorbed into society to a point people didn't care.
Besides it seems this arc won't last much.

Looks like BONES is animating the Soul Eater NOT! manga.

Sweet! :D

I'm quite confused to where this series is going now. It's gone from Kickass to Kamen Rider to Akibaranger in a matter of weeks :lol

My main worry is that it's a two cour show and it already seems to be playing its Aces less than 10 episodes in. I guess time will tell though.

So I just finished Future Diary... what the fuck was up with that ending?

Just don't question it and slowly walk away.

Oh no, I'm questioning it! The ending was perfectly fine, I was perfectly okay with Yukii being forever alone in the void demention... but why, right after the end credits DID THE WRITERS FEEL THE NEED, TO FUCK IT ALL UP BY HAVING YUNO APPEAR IN THE VOID!

... So yeah, I didn't like the ending very much.

Holy shit the Edolas arc of Fairy Tail, this is getting weird...

That's not a f'd ending. You watch End of Evangelion and then understand what the word F'd means.

Watching Akira because it's on Toonami and even though it's almost over, I am still so confused by it...

A happy ending was just not befitting of that show and especially not for Yuno. It did ruin it a bit.

Because youre watching it edited. Not that it makes much more sense unedited, but it's better unedited. Akira's movie made little sense because they tried putting volumes, like near 100, of magna into one hour and a half movie. It requires you to assume alot, especially the ending.

I thought about watching it, but it's better to just watch it on DVD unedited. I do suggest reading the manga after you see the movie.

Everything is better unedited. When I come to power, I'm going to make it a law. Nothing can be edited for television. Your little Suzie and Johnny'll just have to deal with it. Or don't park them in front of a television for nine hours thinking that glowing bright box with moving pictures is a suitible babysitter! .... Ahem .....

So ... Bleach is awesome.

Damn... This is probably the most WTF moments Ive had in a full arc, seriously. Everything is so differemt, but where the hell is Edolas Natsu...
