As I continue to poke through what Netflix has to offer, I just finished watching Noragami. Worth watching.

As far as KanColle goes, all I have to say is.... Kongou, you beautiful battleship. Keep being you please.
... and if you want fan service. Go watch Shinmai Maou no Testament. 0.0 Dear lord.

I know some of the girls catch a panty shot now and then but I can't say I've ever thought of KanColle being fan service based... I can totally understand the visual design not being your cup of tea though.

If you WA the fanservice......strike witches

I'm convinced Strike Witches was an experiment to see if an anime could be nothing but panty shots.

And yeah Shinmai Maou no Testament is the big fan service winner this season, meine gott.

So.. apparently there is a Negima! anime... I wonder how bad this is going to be.

I counted at least 6 boob wiggles in the first two episodes plus some panty shots. So yeah, fan service, but the thing that ticks me off more is that it's pretty all just an ad for figurine sales. Also, carriers shooting bows is dumb.

Anyway, IM OUT. I will not comment on that atrocity again.

Now to wash this away by rewatching the best mobile suit scene in all of gundam.

First off, they're war-machines/soldiers. Why do they have exposed flesh? Second, what Soladrin said. Third- why young, cute girls? Is there something that prevents leather-faced, hardboiled matrons or professional, hardened soldiers from becoming battleship girls? Fanservice isn't all 'sexytimes'. It includes any instance of having an attractive character when an un-attractive one would fit the role better. Do any of the girls have horrific burn scars from enemy bombing runs, or missing limbs? Burnt hair? Torn ears, or scars bisecting their noses? Calluses? Fanservice. Granted, that's something that you run into in any and all media- sex sells, after all, and people are generally more willing to continue looking at things that are pleasing to the eye.


Oh, and @Soladrin.

I just can't ever take Gundam seriously with all the 'PWEEEeee' and 'FwooOOSH' sound effects they always use. Would it kill them to do a little updating to their sound libraries?

So was Transformers.



And yeah, that scene does kick major ass.

This is what going too far looks like. On the plus side the artist clearly reveals their ship.

DAFAQ?

Not really that crazy. Seems to me to be a rather bog-standard "Take favorite anime characters and place them in a completely different situation". One of the better Avatar:The Last Airbender fanfictions is about a Tibetan monk on the run from a young Japanese naval officer during WWII, who happens to somehow get help and traveling companions in the form of a pair of Inuit siblings.

You never know when Charlie's gonna come out the bush.

But.. But...

Tenchi is Japanese not American...

He immigrated after marrying Ryoko because Ayaka only thinks to look in Japan.

Actually it's really silly because even if you wanted to do a 'Nam pic, the JSDF had a small contingent of ground troops in Vietnam during the war.

Well..


I never liked transformers.

Soladrin, how is it our likes and dislikes mesh so well? I've always found Transformers to be a series with an interesting concept, but near-universal terrible execution. The movies are pretty, but impossible to really understand properly, and the cartoons were all just... terrible. Except Animated. That one was alright.

Though there was one fanfiction where Optimus Prime ends up as a Green Lantern that was pretty awesome.

The only transformers series I even watched as child was Beast Wars, because terrible CGI was a thing.

Also, it just means we have good taste.

pesonally I do enjoy some comedic boob wiggle or panty shots in ym anime, all he better if accompanied by a punch to the face of the closest male character.
so a friend suggested Fairy tale and I have nothing to do for the next hour or so.

That's a good one (or at least the manga is at any rate).

YAY! PYROMANCY!

Bah! Pyromancy. Just once, I'd like to see a main character who's element was, I don't know, Water or Stone or Wood or something. Heck, even Metal! It's always Fire or 'Holy' or "Demonic" or something. Why don't you want to watch dudes punch other dudes with giant stone fists?

because I like lighting things on fire.

Go watch Law of Ueki. He punches people with trees. It's also one of my old favourites.

One Piece, Luffy's main power is Rubber.

Avatar? Though I suppose he cheats.

I now have to go back and watch Sanzoku no Musume at Ronja/ Ronia the Robber's Daughter having found out it's made by studio Ghibli.

HERESY! HERESY OF THE WORST KIND! Not even exterminatus can help with that heresy! Frak!!

Ok, Log Horizon just keeps getting better. I love how they always, and it seems it's always, drop a bombshell of lore outta nowhere and in the most casual possible way. Loved to see Rudy and Isuzu getting closer too.

Not only that, the mysterious element they have been slowly adding with the Odyssey Knights, I'm really, REALLY curious to know what's going on with them.

EDIT: An Hydra Gundam.... A MOTHER FRAKKING HYDRA GUNDAM!!! Ok, first season's mechs were very standard, and I mean VERY standard besides a single exception, the bear one; This second season they just said "People, it's time to turn it up to 11!". Voltron, Fairy Gundam, SDs, Dragons and now an Hydra.
