Kimi ni Todoke: From Me to You 10-11

Spoiler

I definitely prefer this "brown-haired Kayli Mills character pretends to be friends with black-haired Xanthe Huynh character while not-so-secretly hating her guts" relationship to the one from Housing Complex C. Probably because Kurumi doesn't have literal occultist murder on her mind.

Robotech 61-64

Continued on a whim. The Masters saga's borderline unwatchable (and from what I've heard the original Southern Cross is even worse), but Mosepeda bangs. The dub performance and dialogue enjoys a pretty sizable bump too.

Why Minmei got screwed over musically but Yellow Dancer gets a legit-sounding song? I have no idea.

Well you’re not comparing Dancer to Mari Ijima.

Hajime no Ippo 32-41.

Astro Note 12
A Salad Bowl of Eccentrics 12

Spoiler

That live-action pachinko machine bit was so out-of-pocket and obviously no-budget that I can't help but admire the crew's moxy of actually putting it in there. :LithiumSmileyLMAO:

Solid landings, both of these. 8.5/10 (7) for Astro Note, 9/10 (8.5) for Salad Bowl.

Robotech [finished]

It's strange how well Macek was able to string together a multi-generational epic by Frankensteining three completely different shows (two of which just happen to feature plane-mechas and music idols). I could see its relevance in sating a thirst for Macross sequels in a time before Plus came into the picture, but now? Just a neat little history lesson when it comes to the US' exposure to anime.

I will say there's a strangely prescient undercurrent seeing the three shows back-to-back as one unified thing given the whole Israel vs. Palestine situation.

...

yeah

Macross. In Japanese (the ADV dub sucks). Then DYRL and Plus after that for animation porn (the latter features a dub starring Bryan Cranston and it's awesome). 

If you want the other series individually, Southern Cross is awful but MOSPEADA's pretty fun.

Wondering if I should do Orguss or VOTOMS next.

Hajime no Ippo 63-76.

Spoiler

Still as good as I remember it, which was it being an all time classic.  The story could have easily ended here, but at over 1400 chapters with no end in sight, the author has committed to the bit.  If only Netflix could dub New Challenger and Rising, or even better, make more.

Hajime no Ippo Champion Road and Kimura vs Mashiba.

That’s the end of Ippo’s initial run as an anime.  New Challenger isn’t available anywhere official last I checked and neither is Rising.  Looking at you Discotek.

Then of course there’s the damn near 900 chapters of manga that haven’t been animated.

Sailor Moon S1E4 (live)
Birdie Wing -Golf Girls Story- 24/25 (end)
Touhou Fantasy Kaleidoscope ~The Memories of Phantasm~ 16/17

Spoiler

I like to think that, just seconds after the final scene, Eve was gunned down by a member of the mafia for some reason and it caused a huge scandal. Her friends and (adopted) family had to go into witness protection. That might not be the preferred ending for most, but I had a feeling that at least one of Eve or Aoi would end up fucking up their body beyond repair and wouldn't be able to play golf again. But it's alright, because things went in the opposite direction and Aoi is partially cured! May their golf rivalry spring eternal.

10/10 show, but I don't think you needed me to tell you that.

[and that's how ichina became nao]

Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead 8

BUG FILMS was announced as the studio behind the Witch Hat Atelier anime today, so you know I had to do it to 'em. And so my really old DVR recordings of the last two episodes of LycoReco have been pushed back yet again.

Edited by Blatch
Clarified a bit. There was also a scuff edit prior to this.
