Yes. Over the top innuendo and melodrama = hilarity of the highest order.

Daily Lives of Highschool Boys:

Fucking hilarious. So pointless. Very... uh... definitely a comic about boys.

I'm sure you and Niu are watching this for the same reasons.

Soppy, you should change the phrase into "Niu is reading the doujin" instead.

Kurogane no Line Barrel vol.19 - What can I say... volume 19 is always Ishigami's turn. It is just as planned from the beginning to the end, and... he is doing this all for Katou!? Katou is finally going to be effective now after failing for so long?

Gundam X - finished

Garrod and Tifa managed to graduate to the ranks of non-annoying characters by the end of the show. I think the only person left in the annoying set was Parlour. That may be somewhat coloured by them having shown pictures of Falcon AirmasterB/LeopardD but never actually using them. Meanwhile, the best character was always the doctor.

Need to remember to nominate Human Touch EN if there's ever a visuals-less tournament it would be eligible for in the future.

Quite enjoyable, on the high end of my ranking of Gundam shows.



Cyber Coil - watched through

Very enjoyable, although I found it hard at times to get past how impractical the system seemed.

Among other things, there is one problem which is stated to happen because of a person's cyberbody being out of sync with their regular body, leading to a vehicle's navigation system misregistering where the person was standing, yet at other times there are implications that only people 'participating' in the system have cyberbodies to begin with, which would seem to make that situation impossible to set up in the first place (unless the people doing so were particularly absent-minded/sadistic).

I don't know how much 'two years worth of New Years money' represents, but MegaMass would seem to have a pretty good setup getting to automatically charge people to restore their glasses whenever they're corrupted.

I can understand MegaMass wanting to shut down all the Coils 'space' considering the problems it has been causing, but it seems like attempting to do this while there are people inside it is working at cross-purposes here. Also I'm not sure why they can't just unplug the servers. They mention servers a number of times. Are they misusing that term.

I need to get around to finishing reading that comic from a somewhat similar vein that was linked to aways back sometime.

Redline- Un. Fucking. Believable. Not one author or poet could spend a million years inventing words to describe the sheer, luxurious, over-the-top awesome that this movie is. It's Heavy Metal + Wacky Races to a Wipeout soundtrack, with literally the best hand-drawn animation ever made. Period. I cried tears of joy watching it, and I cried tears of sadness at it's end, because I will never, ever watch anything as completely amazing as this again.

Linebarrels Of Iron - watched through

Okaylish. Annoyingly stupid at points, but never enough to turn me off the show. The instance which stands out the most would be most of the beach episode.

Retroactively provided a reason for me having never gotten Soubi in SRWL, so there's that.

Best characters were Kato and Dmitri.


Zoid Genesis - watched through

Okaylish. Also stupid at points, but is aimed at an even younger audience to be fair. The instance which stands out the most is that Rinna, the head of the M'Qile family, doesn't know anything about how there is only allowed to be one head of the family and all of their siblings need to be killed off.

Retroactively provided a reason for me having never gotten Ferme in SRWK, so there's that.

There were no best characters.

Redline - watched

Very entertaining. Very pretty at times. Relationship essentially out of nowhere.


Psycho Diver: Soul Siren - watched

Mediocre.


Genius Party
Genius Party Beyond - watched through

Genius Party: Nice

Shanghai Dragon: The premise that they had gone back in time because they needed the imagination of children, which there were none of in the future falls a little flat when the child imagines things based on TV shows. I guess he does do other things in the ending though.

Deathtic 4: Nice change from the usual sort of art stylings, for all that the story isn't the greatest.

Doorbell: A little confusing - for most of the short it seems like the situation is new to the protagonist, but at the end it seems to be implying that it isn't, and that there are more than two entities involved. Since the extras only get rendered meaningless when in particular situations, you'd think that this would result in a lot of a problems for them both in those situations and out of those situations. Keeping with just the two known entities, what happens if one of them visits one person and the other visits another person, and those two people happen to talk to each other about the meetings? Where do the extra entities eat and sleep?

Limit Cycle: IDGI

Happy Machine: I was wondering whether this was done by the Kaiba guy and it turned out it waaaaaaaaaaaaas
and it was consequently pretty whimsically dandy

Baby Blue: I'm not really sure how this short matches the theme... it was okay in general, though.
---
Gala: Decent, nothing I can think of to say about it really.

Moondrive: Reasonably amusing. Reasonable different art style, which I am divided on how I feel about.

Wanwa (The Doggy): Starts off slow, but becomes entertaining.

Toujin Kit: Decent, can't think of anything specific to say again. Nothing is really confirmed with regards to the Tou, and the fate of the woman is left up in the air.

Dimension Bomb: IDGI (less so than Limit Cycle)

Both had highs and lows... I'd peg the lowest as Limit Cycle on GP and the second lowest as Dimension Bomb on GPB, not sure which I'd peg as the highest though.

Bullwinkle: A-bomb is what some people call our show!
Rocky: I don't think that's very funny...
Bullwinkle: Neither do they, apparently!

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA


Man, I thought they couldn't top episode 12 for craziness, but Production IG just proved me wrong.

I think I'm the only one who follows it on a regular basis, but yes. Trance has mentioned in the past that he's at least familiar with it, but wasn't familiar with the more recent chapters IIRC.

Archer-Illya vs Saber Alter is going to be badass.

I very vaguely remember this show from when I was like 7 years old, but not anything beyond that.
