Apparently Studio Khara made a new set of guidelines against creating religious, political, and porn of Evangelion; as a result, artists have deleted or renounced drawing their related works on Pixiv and Twitter. Khara backpedaled that this wouldn't affect existing works. Knowing Anno, I reckon this means they either don't want any bad publicity coinciding with 3.0 + 1.0 coming out, or it's DMCA-related.
am i missing something? i'm not seeing anything about fans not being able to draw porn anymore. the guidelines illustrated in #4 was the closest i could find:
4. Please refrain from publishing creative works with the following expressions and contents. This work, or the purpose of damaging the feelings, honor, or way of thinking of others. The purpose of over-promoting or degrading a specific politics, religion, or belief. Overly violent or grotesque. Anti-social expressions Those that infringe the rights of others Those that may be mistaken for official works

He walks Senjougahara home gently.
The sick fuck even h*lds her h*nd.

thank you! i figured something was off with the translation.
 
The whole thing about the Monogatari series is its completely and utterly fucked up orientation and sense of pacing. I mean, its really a beautifully animated series besides that and has plenty of fan service in it. It is a HARD series to get into to begin with. I had to read a fucking instruction manual before I even started.

But if you watch it in the release order like I did....ho boy lol. It is CONFUSING as fuck. Also it is VERY different from the Shonen 'boy gets vampiric powers' type deal. So if people go in with that they will be disappointed. It also has a very strange minimalist style to its animation and the way it transitions as well. It isn't like a typical series at all. Nearly all of it is slow burn, but still has anime tropes (fan service and romance but nobody ever fucks).
I thought it was implied they banged at the end of the first season after the car ride with her dad and at least again after the Valentine's Day bit. I mean, Senjougahara molested Hanekawa and she loves to tease Araragi about Kanbaru. I suppose the question would be when does she stop referring to both her and Araragi as virgins. He completely blew it in Kizu though, but Hanekawa may be the most fucked up of the harem, so that may not have been a bad thing.

The thing is, his actual waifu is Shinobu, the rest are just temporary and she's willing to wait until they die of natural causes. I mostly find the series amazing in that SHAFT made an anime about people talking at each other interesting to watch. I'd rather have more March Comes in like a Lion though.
 
Update on My Hero Academia raw chapter 96.

Midnight has been confirmed one of the casualties in the Hero/Villain war.
At this point, I'm only convinced Horikoshi doesn't kill one of the students because they're still minors.

Then again, he's certainly not above mutilating them between Midoriya's scarring and Nijere getting her face burned ala TDK Two-Face, so who knows.
 
To appease my namesake, I finally watched Digimon Last Evolution.

With my only real qualm with this film being Sora not doing anything, this is the true sequel. Digimon Tri was seriously pointless because nothing plotwise was brought back in this movie save for a quick one-second cameo of Meiko and Meicoomon, and the thematic element of "DigiDestined have to grow up" was handled SO much better in Last Evolution than in six movies. Keitarou Motonaga (and Yuuko Kakihara for the series composition) can go fuck himself for wasting three years with his bullshit.
 
Its not technically an anime (though its based on one), but the first episode of Thus Spoke Rohan Kishibe is a fun watch. They somehow managed to make the guy's power not look fucking ridiculous in live action, which is pretty impressive.
 
Are they the same versions that aired on YTV (and maybe also Nickelodeon?) in the mid-1990s or are these unedited versions?
Dubbed, so think it's the same that aired on YTV judging by the theme song. Episode one looks like it's a VHS rip, but it's a better quality than I think can be found online?

I think YTV aired Grimm's Fairy Tale Classics in a block together with Hello Kitty and Keroppi if I remember correctly.
Yes, these are the versions that aired on Nickelodeon in the early 90s. They licensed the series in Japanese as well, but that's probably on a separate page because you can't sync up both versions. Same problem as Samurai Pizza Cats.

(I hear you Canucks got anime dubs that we never got in America.)

I haven't seen this yet but I'll take a glance tonight and report back.

I think I hit an epiphany in relation to "Watadamashi-hen". My play-through of the sound novel is relatively new, and I'm now on the Massacre arc. Well, in chapter two, you got a choice to make in answering Hanyuu's question on what happened between Keiichi and the doll:

Clearly the right answer is the bottom one, but what if you chose the top one?

Rika pokes him to get his attention, and she was about to tell him, but Keiichi responds with "I know" and gives Mion the doll. The other answer has him passing it along to Mion without fail while Rika stands there in contemplation. Different music plays depending on the answer, however.

I wonder if there's like a secret wrong end in "Massacre", so I saved the files separately. But still, I thought that was rather interesting. Once again, "Watadamashi-hen" is still the most closely-adapted arc that had this been a full remake instead of an interquel-sequel-whatever, Rika advising Keiichi on the doll still wouldn't be out-of-place. Maybe.

I took a glance. For whatever reason the opening credits were clearly taken from a bootleg. They don't look too good at all. I question why they did this.

But the episodes proper are indeed recreated, just as they promised, and pretty well too. (I have a few episodes on VHS. The difference is notable.) In a few it was obvious the audio was taken from a bootleg, but it generally doesn't suck.

They could probably have done better from a preservation standpoint, but if you just want to watch it, you'll probably be fine.

The dub masters are gone, they had said, so that's probably why. They might've matched up the audio to cleaner (foreign? Germany had the series too, right?) footage for the episodes, like I could've sworn the English episode titles were always shown on the castle backdrop.

I assume these are the Japanese masters, but the dub masters most likely aren't gone. Disney inherited them when they bought Saban, and Disney is apparently impenetrable unless you've got a connection.

The quality kind of seems better in the thumbnails when you're scrolling than when you're actually watching it, but maybe that's because of the size of the video.

I should note that the Puss in Boots episode has subpar audio, but the rest are fine. It's not unlistenable or anything... but like I said, they could have done better.

I assume the rest of the episodes will be coming sometime this year, of course.

Yeah, sounds like there's some audio quality issues from the four episodes I watched. My Internet was probably being shitty in the middle of the Red Riding Hood episode, but I hope the video quality is actually perfect all the way through and didn't have actual glitching hiccups. It'd be pretty embarrassing if there was an upload/conversion error.
