what we should be concerned about with is where anime and manga’s gonna end up in the next millennium. For a medium that’s a mere century old, there sure have been a lot of changes in the trends and artstyles (though, I think the most defining features have been pretty consistent in the majority of [...]

the full list is pretty fucked up. I mean, 16th place is Artificial Human #17 from DBZ (seriously? Compared to the likes of Freeza, or even his own kidnapper/modifier Dr. Gero, he’s actually extremely tame), and 34th place is occupied by the Pokemon Rarecoil (or Magneton)… why? I have no clue. Also find it worth [...]

liking QB doesn’t necessarily mean not wanting to kill the little bastard in as horrible a fashion as possible… actually, seeing as he’s more or less immortal with an indefinite amount of bodies, you could do just that to him without consequence (though it’s also horrifying, as well as demotivating, to be reminded of the [...]

I honestly can’t tell if you were directing that comment at Meredith, or at Homura.

I love MadoMagi, but here, I can’t help but feel that all of those scene recreations might’ve been better left to their own gallery (there were over 30 images with that series alone). Hopefully, there aren’t too many hate comments about it seemingly dominating here. At any rate, that first image, the one with Kyouko [...]

needs more Asakura Ryouko in her bunny suit. She’s only included once, in a group shot (pic #138)… still, she seems to have made out surprisingly better in this gallery than any other Haruhi character (sans Tsuruya). Also really like that swimsuit figure of A-Channel’s Yuuko. Pretty sure I saw it before (might’ve been previously [...]

Studio Parm, nice. Actually, I recall seeing that Ore no Imouto umbrella posted on their Pixiv account quite a while ago.

to go against public decency, as well as the law, to display your love towards 2D… I envy such determination.

that doesn’t excuse Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou ranking worse than Zero no Tsukaima.

It is said that everyone’s gay for Bridget, everyone’s lolicon for Etna, and everyone’s furry for Renamon. I propose a new one: everyone’s necro for Sanka Rea.

also stumbled upon the artist’s Pixiv account.

Apparently, she’s a Singaporean girl who primarily does Pokemon artwork.

oh my god, it’s a real life, Japanese version of Misery.

not Key… http://key.visualarts.gr.jp/angelbeats/ …riiiiiight. BTW, a quick trip to Wikipedia should tell you what ONE is (full title is “ONE ～Kagayaku Kisetsu he～”), but basically it’s a Visual Novel that the people from Key did before forming the company. Amongst the early works, it seems very popular, as characters from ONE are constantly featured alongside [...]

those assholes make me hate Rie Kugimiya…. which is quite a shame. I actually think she’s pretty good when she isn’t being horribly typecasted. Hell, I might not even have as big of an issue with her typecasts if they’d stop fucking up adaptions in order to pander to her characters’ tsundere antics.

actually, Angel Beats! wasn’t done by them. Though, Angel Beats! is also liable to be discounted because it wasn’t originally a game. However, I do believe that there was a hentai OVA adapted from ONE (dunno what studio, but likely a crappy one if it was like most other H-anime). Then again, ONE was made [...]

@SpideyPHL

they’ve never adapted a super fanservicey work as far as I know

uh…. Full Metal Panic?

@anon 17:21

nah, I’d say the first one’s more likely to be discounted than Fumoffu, due to it being done by Gonzo instead of KyoAni. It is also plausible that one could say “third season” by mistake, especially considering the latest installment (and the real third season, incidentally) was titled “Second Raid”.

alternate continuities are also plausible (just look at Tenchi).

Kai counts as being recent.

Yeah, that poor girl was really trying her damnedest, and you’re constantly left with some sliver of hope that she’ll survive, especially when Yukito friggin’ sacrifices himself. The resurrection curse is implied to have been broken at least, but poor Misuzu in her current life was doomed, going out in easily one the most heart-rending [...]
