If they were able to add two episodes of non-filler footage to Kanna's arc (AIR in Summer), I have the gut feeling they could add at least one good episode to each story. Bonus: Damn, at the beginning i got both the chills and goosebumps. | ||

+ Show Spoiler [LoGH 97-98] + This is the most tragic death in the series by far. Reuental's death was completely unnecessary - the only reason he rebelled was because of his pride. Even on the verge of death, he still remained loyal to the Kaiser by doing everyone a favor and killing Truniht. He even gives Mittermeyer what he and Evangeline wanted most... And then Reuental dies without being able to drink with Mittermeyer once more. T_T I guess the Alliance remnants will make their move soon. The empire is at its weakest right now, and there's also only 12 episodes left. ![]() ![]() lol. The face Bittenfeld made after that was also pretty good. ![]() ![]() + Show Spoiler [Madoka] + | ||

@Butch_Gen I just got Madoka Magica's manga sample! http://ow.ly/3RvTQ Since it's an occasion, let's talk about the story behind manga ver... @Butch_Gen To tell the truth, production of Madoka anime was temporary stopped once the scenario has finished, however Hanokage's manga still continues. So rough sketch of manga was done before the storyboard. It's amusing if you compare manga and anime, as they're divergence from a single scenario. @Butch_Gen Putting that aside, look at this angel-like cuteness! As expected from magical girl's companion! http://yfrog.com/h7f4yvhj + Show Spoiler [Madoka, regarding Homura] + Interview with series director Yukihiro Miyamoto in NewType 2011/03 regarding fighting styles: Miyamoto: I like it better when fight scenes are not only tough, but also has its own merit and demerit and also depends on each's tactics. For example, Mami can bring out a giant gun, but it is single-loaded, that's why she lose to the witch… NewType: If she's able to rapid-fire, then she might not lose. Miyamoto: Yes. Magical girls are not strong. Homura is only strong because of her special ability, but she's weak as a magical girl. + Show Spoiler [Madoka, regarding Kyuubey] + Interview with Saitō Chiwa (Homura Akemi) and Yūki Aoi (Madoka Kaname) regarding Kyubey: NewType: As a last question, please say something to Kyubey. Yūki: I want to know what you're thinking. Saitō: Please never come to me. NewType: That's cruel! Kyubey looks so cute (laughs). Yūki: In the recording room, everyone is excited when Kyubey appears on the screen. At first Katō Emiri-san (Kyubey's VA) defend for him, but recently she started saying Kyubey is scary. Saitō: Kyubey is always in an interesting position. Yūki: Kyubey is the most mysterious character. Please pay attention to him. (Source for all three: As usual, Puella-Magi Wiki) | ||

The other two will be side stories about other puella magi. Houbunsha will be publishing three manga series based on the series. A direct adaptation of the anime series, illustrated by Hanokage, will be published in three volumes released on February 12, March 12 and April 12, 2011 respectively.[8] A side story manga, "Puella Magi Kazumi Magica: The Innocent Malice" (魔法少女かずみ☆マギカ〜The innocent malice〜 Mahō Shōjo Kazumi Magica: The Innocent Malice?), written by Masaki Hiramatsu and illustrated by Takashi Tensugi, began serialization in Manga Time Kirara Forward magazine from January 24, 2011, featuring a different set of characters.[8] A second side story manga, "Puella Magi Oriko Magica" (魔法少女おりこ☆マギカ Mahō Shōjo Oriko Magica?), written by Kuroe Mura, is set to be released following the anime broadcast.[8] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puella_Magi_Madoka_Magica#Manga To get everyone in the mood for Valentine's Day, here's some Madoka x Homura and Nanoha x Feito-chan pictures: + Show Spoiler + Edit: + Show Spoiler [LoGH] + I knew it would happen.

Where the heck is Eisenach? We've seen him in all of what, two episodes? And one of those was just telling us that he liked coffee and brandy. At least it was a pretty funny scene. I guess the reason we don't see much of Mecklinger is because other than being poetic, his personality is pretty boring. Bittenfeld we see because of his beserker strategy and hilarious straightforwardness. Reuental is the dark horse. Mittermeyer is righteous, courageous and loyal (well, the most courageous and loyal one. It's not like the other admirals are deficient in this sense). Muller is has ungodly dedication and endurance. Wahlen is badass because he has no arm. :3 To my knowledge, Odin doesn't have the Artemis necklace. Not that it's really done much for any of the people that relied on it. <_< If Reinhard dies from some retarded incurable anime disease, I'm gonna be pissed. | ||

Im coming here to this thread with a greeting from Myself and some friends! Me and my friends love anime and I like to get some tips from you guys about some anime. I was gonna check it out myself but the thread is 705 pages long and I dont have time to check it all out. So here goes!! I was thinking of some anime that is Seinen. Kind of like Berserk, Hellsing Ultimate, Rurouni Kenshin OVA/Reminiscense. I and my friends seems to have problems to simply finds Seinens and also to find just good ones. But I mean it doesnt need to be bloody. It can be about anything really. Like Death Note is a good one for example even though its not super seinen but you get my point (No Naruto, Bleach, Fairy Tail or w/e). There was also one more thing. We'd like to just see some... I dont know how to describe it, but "weird" animes that are good. Kind of like Elfen Lied.. cause that one is really weird if you ask me, and I like that weirdness in an anime (although I never really liked the anime itself so much). If you ever read the manga Homunculus (which is super good), its that weird anime style that we like and it is something we wanna watch. So yeah... but mostly Seines really since we cant find good ones. Thanks! | ||

I mean, the MP chief wouldn't have much use if he wasn't in the capital. I think that Mecklinger was the only one left in the old parts of the Empire. So now there's no one. I wonder if Emil is a Cultist. Maybe that's the reason that Reinhard is always sick? Credits to TimeOut for showing me this: Legend Of Galactic Heroes: Also titled: Heldensagen Vom Kosmosinsel ("Hero legends from Cosmic Island", literally - what makes this gratuitous is the grammatical case and wrong-gender article: it should be "von der" instead of "vom"="von dem"). The empire is clearly based on an anachronistic collage of Germanies, mostly Das Kaiserreich, or at least the theme-park version. They spout out a fairly large number of catchphrases: Prosit (cheers!), Feuer (fire!), Kaiser (emperor), and Neuland (lit. "new land", virgin soil) being prominent. Justified, in that the first Kaiser was apparently an enthusiastic Germanist and Kaiserreichish sort of guy. http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/GratuitousGerman Hero Legends from Cosmic Island. I can't believe I'm watching a show with such a lame name. | ||

I can't believe I'm watching a show with such a lame name. + Show Spoiler + Yeha, I meant Kesler was in Phezzan, not Odin. My bad. Anyway, my point was that he'd be able to move and defend in the worst case scenario. Thinking about it some more, it doesn't really make sense for the remnant to move into Imperial space. They're a pretty small force (~500 000), so they'll get obliterated in open space. It's more tactically sound to stay in the Iserlohn corridor where they can use the confined quarters to their advantage. In addition, if they were going to attack, they should've taken out Mecklinger's fleet. This would prolong the battle between Reuental and Mittermeyer, whittling down their numbers. I'm sure Julian's got something planned though. Legend of the Legendary Heroes still takes the cake for stupid names as far as I'm concerned. Redundancy at it's finest. Edit: How is Madoka's lesbianism stat only a 5? @Deekin: Kara no Kyoukai, Denpateki na Kanojo | ||

As I catch up to DaiDenYuuDen, I think I know why I hate this series now. One book is like the size of one chapter from any book in Song of Ice and Fire. @Deekin: Kara no Kyoukai, Denpateki na Kanojo Love how it is standard to just throw these two together while completely disregarding Kure-nai, goddamn author focus on the right series please. | ||

I shouldn't have been surprised after watching five episodes of this stuff, but the transformation still caught me off guard. Magical girl dress and armor. -_- Less plot, more jokes please. | ||
