Those weren't for 10 year olds if they're being shown at 1 AM... Every single show I mentioned was on morning or after school TV. Not a one of them was a 1 am. Haruhi and K-ON definitely were. I have no idea if Sailor Moon Crystal got an otaku o clock slot or what. |

K-ON was on TBS at about 2 in the morning, Haruhi was on Tokyo MX on I want to say 25:30? Anyway to actually talk about the anime I'm watching, I'm watching Brave Command Dagwon off a VHS tape. I buy, or used to buy anyway, lots of VHS tapes from the Dragonfly Islands. Some are blanks, some are kind of boring (even if you can understand the language; I found interviews with Abe and Kishida on old tapes), some are gold. I am probably one of the few people with a digital HDTV D-VHS recording of Morning Musume or a BS NHK special on Cardcaptor Sakura. (This is also how I've seen a LOT of anime out of order. Hmu if you want to watch Gundam Wing taped off air.) It's a toyetic anime from the 90s that was produced after Takara lost the Transformers licence. It's fun enough to watch, don't expect anything deep from it. The gimmick is that the ordinary high school students transform into the vehicles. Remember to buy the toys kodomo-tachi! Followed by GaoGaiGar, which ended the Brave franchise, which I suppose most people are more familiar with. |

Can you watch them without playing all of the side games in between? Also, Rebecca Chambers best girl. Just watched Vendetta, where she first shows up. She's cute I guess. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ |

So back on Skip and Loafer, absolute babe supreme waifu material FR View AttachmentSoo... terrible news. I've had to drop this anime after 7 freaking episodes because the "aunt" is a god damn troon. It's not even necessary. Just... ugh. I hate it. Burn it all. Literally everything else is this super sweet, super endearing SoL and there's a freaking troon. |

It might be worth watching a cut of the games as movies. That said, the stories aren't much, but it's good background info. I also like Jill. She's my #2 girl in the series.

I'm currently caught up on Metallic Rouge and really enjoying it. The 3DCG isn't that bad, either. Some moments aren't great. However, on the whole, it's not taking me out of the show.
With the plot pacing, it feels like it'll only be 12 episodes long. However, we'll see.

With the plot pacing, it feels like it'll only be 12 episodes long. However, we'll see. Yeah I started it on Sunday and got caught up yesterday. Pretty good show. The ONE thing that's actually throwing me off is the lack of detail in character designs. The faces don't have a lot of detail most of the time, and they're one color. I feel like even in decades past, when studios would cut corners using the same animated sequences (lookin at you, Gundam Wing), there was more detail overall. Idk...others may disagree, but it's throwing me off when I watch it. Decent enough story, enough intrigue where you could have a full 26eps, or even a s2, but will be serviceable as a standalone 12eps. Action is solid, 3dcg isn't as bad as I expected (nowhere near Overlord bad), but also not great. It's...decent. A good, decent sci-fi. Can't go wrong with that! EDIT: not sure if I was explaining what I mean about the detail properly; not sure I can express it. Just....it feels weird to me, very plain in some ways. |

EDIT: not sure if I was explaining what I mean about the detail properly; not sure I can express it. Just....it feels weird to me, very plain in some ways. I suspect the lack of detail is due to the use of the 3D models for a lot of of it. It's the same reason you don't get a lot of really cool shading. It definitely doesn't feel plastic. They did a good job with that. It does have a certain inflexibility and superficiality, though. I think doing too much detail on 3D faces makes them look weird, since there's actual depth, which can make it uncanny. I would say the CG is competent. It doesn't stick out most of the time. Though, every once in a while, I'll focus on it. It seems better for certain characters, given their importance. Unfortunately, it does make a lot of environments feel sterile. That works for scifi, but not in general. It probably has something to do with how defined it is versus how our brain processes things. We don't pay attention to every blade of grass when we go outside. We just see it as "a bunch of green." |
