The new season of Symphogear is the best yet and if you're not on board yet you should be.

Princess Principal & Symphogear are my favorites for action. Haven't found a comedy that I really love.

HerpicleOmnicron5 posted:Yeah, Guru Guru was totally not my pace but it's definitely something that should be looked at by everyone here. It's a love it or hate it kinda deal, but I strongly implore that you watch the first two episodes of Princess Principal if you have any interest at all in spy fiction. I'll take a shot at Guru Guru. I hadn't even heard of it! I 100% agree with you about Princess Principal. You'll know whether or not you like it by the end of the second episode.

Princess Principal is super good and the faces in it are amazing. I think Dorothy's smile is my favorite, because never quite reaches her eyes...  She's a dangerous lady.

If I want to dip my toes in the idol thing in preparation for the season of idols where should I start? The only thing I've seen remotely along those lines is Symphogear.

I am now seven episodes into Centaur's Worries and I still have no idea how I feel about it. The tone of that show is beyond bizarre.Wark Say posted:Watch Idolm@ster: Cinderella Girls for the animation because HOLY HELL, whoever many dudes and ladies animated the dance routines and the character animation, they knocked it out of the park.

Endorph posted:i too get extremely uncomfortable when a piece of fiction doesn't blatantly signpost its morals and themes, and expects me to decide how to feel about them for myself. i get all itchy on my skin. I mean, even beyond the weird police state thing, we're talking about a show which spent a fifteen-minute segment talking about how a lady centaur can't see her own vagina. where mermaids start right below the pelvis (for SEX REASONS). where nearly every episode seems to have some part where the comedy drops out completely so a teenaged girl can browbeat her own dad for not being an effective provider. It's weird and uncomfortable for reasons beyond being just being hard to read.

Space Flower posted:the scenario in question happened in literally one episode, not "nearly every episode", and this is unfairly reductive of a genuinely interesting family situation the show puts time and care into expanding on That's a pretty cool framing of it. I may not be giving the show's plotting enough credit. Now explain the the horse vagina ep please Ed: It definitely seems like there's enough interest to merit a thread

What anime youtubers are good? I don't really 'know' anything about anime besides the shows I've liked; I wouldn't mind learning more about the industry or seeing analysis of stuff or whatever. I saw a video by Dijibro talking about Gurren Lagann's character designs that I thought was pretty cool! A lot of that stuff probably seemed obvious to people who know anything about visual design, but I don't, so it was cool to me. Is there more cool stuff along those lines?

dogsicle posted:WOAH hahaha, look at this wild tone!!! *posts two screenshots without context* in one scene, a member of the Hoofen-SS has just shot two civilians. He aims his gun at his next victim, a child, before he is stopped by his fellow soldier. They've met their quota of victims... for now. "Have we?", replies the soldier. He lowers the gun, but cannot resist kicking the child full in the chest as a final act of cruelty and dominance. The next shot is of a train moving through a bleak European countryside. Inside one of the cars, the child is packed together with dozens of other victims on their way to a concentration camp; they are packed closely together like cattle, deliberately reminiscent of the victims of Buchenwald. In the other scene, the girl with the sleepy eyes has done the centaur girl's (Hime's) hair in a very cute way. Ed: A couple of thoughts about the composition of those scenes: Visually, it's interesting to note how Hime's giant eyes and deliberately abstracted facial features make her look like a doll or toy, cute and harmless - it's the counterpoint of a visual gag. In contrast, the composition of the shot renders both soldiers faceless; they are embodiments of man's inhumanity to - uh, centaur's inhumanity to - look, I lost the train here somewhere. Tone. These scenes have very different tone. There is a thematic through line: the focus of the section from screenshot #1 was on the centaur girl's family history. She is descended from a warrior princess, but she is totally harmless; just a teenage girl worried about her looks and her grades. She Is removed from the difficulties of the past. I think the show knows what it's doing. I just don't have any idea what the gently caress it's doing. Eela6 fucked around with this message at 05:16 on Sep 4, 2017 |

Knorth posted:Centaur Art Date(s) was very good, the Chisters swapping out periodically is cute and I'm enjoying the ongoing story of art dad and good daughter a lot I agree! This episode recontextualizes some small bits in previous episodes, too; for example, Manami being slightly uncomfortable about the (other) lesbian couple in their class kissing in front of her sisters. Centaur's Worries is cool, if poorly named. Manami is the main character. It should be 'Angel-Sister's Troubles'.
