I'm going to take a few things into consideration before creating my list.1) Midnight to 6am timeslot on Saturdays2) Blue laws in effect allowing me to go a bit further than what might normally be permissible on Cartoon Network proper3) The shows are going to be repeated twice each night. 12 midnight to 3am, then re-run from 3am to 6am. Six shows, half hour format, and with some editting, there's ...

Another isn't 26 episodes, it's 12, so it's not trying to maintain too much, and I don't think it could have stretched it out for much longer than that without falling under it's own weight. The best thing I can say about Another is that it was great at hitting it's big moments strongly, which was the part that I enjoyed the most about it. The shocking moments were really ...

Agreed with AURON570 and metalsnakezero on this. Kids on the Slope's by far the best thing running this season and the attention to the little details when they're playing is mindblowing.

Witchblade was on IFC a while back (wihch is also where I caught Hell Girl and Speedgrapher) which is where I caught it. Not sure where or if it's streaming legally right now. It's actually a surprisingly good show considering what a train wreck it could have easily become.

@Dream said:Anyone not gonna bother mentioning how "Piggy's" character design looks like a comedic relief anime character compared to his classmates? It was one of the big things that turned me away from Accel World since it was hard for me to take the kid's problems seriously.Here's one of the things it touches on that it's not going to resolve. Does the combination of being linked into the neural net ...

I can't help but know that this series in the end is going to disappoint. It's like a bull in a china shop, brushing and bumping into interesting things, but it feels like it's going to head into a basic shonen anime. I'm hoping to be proven wrong and that they're going to explore some of the things they've touched on in that first episode, and they've pleasantly surprised in ...

@sickVisionz said:@Lurkero said:I haven't watched the episode yet but I dislike chibi in serious cartoons. I wonder if they go chibi in this cartoon so that it somehow is still annoying.There is nothing even remotely serious about this cartoon.And I think that's why I'm enjoying it more than I'd have expected to. Guilty pleasure for sure, but it's nice seeing Naruto not take itself so damn seriously after years of ...

Ringo shows herself to be a bit of an evil genius in this episode as well. She's able to break Otsuu out of what in the end is a pretty destructive habit, while at the same time getting Ryoshi to see Okami in a maid outfit and forcing Okami to stop being so self reliant and maybe start to understand that, at least within the Otagi Bank, that it's ok ...

Daroki replied to the topic The saddest moment on the General Discussion board.
Wandering Son's ending was pretty brutal. Even though you know it's coming, the end of episode 22 of Persona 4 is also evil.

The opening scene is brutal, but it's still that scene in episode six that lingers in my memory and makes the "coffin" scene in episode seven mean more. It's so rare that a moment of pure spontaneous joy can cause a jump-scare in someone, and it plants the seed that there may have been happiness in Mei's past (the art club) and possible future (the coffin) if they can get ...

#edit: Should change that Bakuman, not Bakugan. It's a fantastic series though, and for as ridiculous as it's jump off is, the focus they have on the method of creation is something that always get me. Like Gravitation, Comic Party, and Beck before it, I'm a sucker for shows about the creative process however detached from reality it might become.

I'm almost wondering if Tom went back and finished off Steins;Gate and had the same reaction to it that I had to Madoka. Going into Steins;Gate with the hype train in full effect might make it a hard to live up to the love that series gets, but fortunately I watched it as the hype train was gathering momentum and got myself a good seat. Madoka on the other hand ...

@damswedon said:Crap people listen to this!I need to edit out the part in the next show where I call everyone fucking assholes for not voting for Wandering Son in the year end thing.Thanks for bringing up my most agonizing choice to leave out of my top 5. Between Wandering Son, AnoHana, another season of Kimi no Todoke, Fate/Zero, and Hanasaku Iroha, my bottom five of a top 10 would have ...

Actually so far I'm enjoying that they're not just throwing them up in space with skin tight outfits to show off maximum amounts of cleavage without resorting to the solar flares. It's taking it's time building up some characters. You wouldn't think by the name they'd actually be doing some of the world building they're spending time doing, and that's a good thing in this case.

I'm very happy to have beaten ANN to getting voice acting credits as this is super rare and they're usually my source. I think AV might be the first English site to list VA's for Sengoku Collection #7
