A shitty post? This calls for a dance of deduction.

Good god, what a lot of extra work went into this stuff back in the day.

This is a super interesting article and I suspect it's the correct answer, thanks so much! I'm trying to work out when it was first translated by VIZ here because normally they don't mirror and it seems like a recent translation. Weird!

To be fair, it seems like that was the most iconic scene from the movie. It's at least the most referenced.

I heard Ping Pong was based off a manga and I'm just gonna assume the anime is better than the source material.

The anime for Blast of Tempest is better than the manga. The anime is really good, it just had the miserable misfortune of airing in the same season as Psycho-Pass, Shin Sekai Yori, The Pet Girl of Sakura Dormitory, Jojo's Bizarre Adventure and HOLY poo poo, Fall 2012 was really good for anime!

Really? That was a little before I joined, but I was AMPED for it at the time. Kamisama Kiss, Say "I Love You", My Little Monster, the final arc of Kokoro Connect, Kintama. There were at least 10 anime shows I was following. Man, that season ruled.

i mean adtrw is only a very, very, very small portion of anime fandom at large. also it looks like it didn't even manage to drum up a thread back when it aired.

Was Zorak's description of it something along the lines of "this show is trash for pedophiles?" I mean, I remember it being relatively popular on /a/ at least.

I think I will continue
watching this twilight world
as long as time flows.
One of my students in the field today was really downtrodden, said she didn't believe she could get the field area done.

I said I believed in her, she replied, "well, i don't believe in myself."

I shot off, "Don't believe in yourself. Believe in me who believes in you!"

nah, he was optimistic about it based on the key visuals looking good and the book having a good reputation.

A plane flew overhead and obscured the second half of the anime quote, so she only heard that she shouldn't believe in herself.

It was decent. I liked Death Billiards, the original Animation Death Parade was based on a little bit more, though. And yeah, there was a lot of set-up for a season 2, considering they barely touched on the bartender's big deal. But what we got was also fine, I feel.

Also be sure to see the Live Action OP made by the actual band that sings it, Bradio.

It was first localised as 'Black & White' in Viz's long defunct Pulp magazine in the early 2000's when flipped manga was the norm.
