Yomi is probably 2nd best girl is Azumanga Daioh for me, I just wish the anime did more with her other than her being the straight man for Tomo's shit.

Apparently not, which displeases me immensely.

Battle Programmer Shirase seems like the ideal anime for Kiwi Farmers like myself. I’m already learning programming even if the job outlook is slowly going down in the U.S. (outsourcing is no joke!) but after four episodes this anime is pretty interesting.
Most, if not all, of the episodes are only 12 minutes long. After watching four, it’s much different from most short formed anime or OVAs that most anime fans would usually watch. I’m sure most people already know about Welcome to the NHK! but the only drawback is that if this came out before NHK, I don’t think it would get the same type of praise. Both of the MCs are alike in the sense that they are loners, but Shirase still has some family that lives right next to him. One of them just loves computers and computer hacking a lot more, while the other just consumes what is offered online than actually make it.
Either way it’s pretty good so far, and the OP for the song is pretty nice:

There's new work by the guy who wrote The Quintessential Quintuplets, started this week. Called Ranger Reject, its about a Super Sentai goon going undercover.
The author of Assassination Classroom also came back with The Elusive Samurai.
And Toriko's Author came back with Build King a while ago, but honestly I dont think it'll last too long. Can you seriously make a shounen around, of all things, houses?

So I went like 3 years without a personal computer, only using my iPhone, and only recently got another one. Turns out Google/Microsoft saved all my old bookmarks and such back when I used it. And one of those bookmarks was for a manga I only got like 6 chapters in before the laptop broke and I forgot the name, Watashi no Messiah-sama. Honestly, it takes a super sudden and odd turn like halfway through, and has this really odd mix of extreme seriousness and goofy gag, but it all works together really well. In fact, it kinda reminds me a lot of-
Wait...I need to wiki this...

Ah, of course it would remind me of Heaven’s Lost Prophecy. It was made by the same person. No wonder.

I'm reading Elusive Samurai & Build King so I'll share my experience on it.
Elusive Samurai is just 2 chapters old at the moment. But for what I've read, it's pretty good.
Build King is classic shonen fun, it's not progressing much, tho it's also only 9 chapters old at the moment. Also, I never read Toriko (it's on my list for a while tho) I don't know about the author much, but the manga isn't boring by any means, even if the chapters may feel a bit filler-ish.

Its not that it isn't well written, it's fun, albeit incredibly "classic", and the art can be incredible when it comes to the houses and landscapes; its just the fact that everything is either the act of building or a building.

Just read the first chapter for Ranger Reject. Seems like an interesting setup, I’m eager to see what they do with it.

I've started watching Witchblade in between Strawberry Panic episodes and I can't get the thought out of my mind that something bad is going to happen to the main character's daughter. Every episodes seems to be building death/pain flags and I'm not looking forward to the idea that my suspicions might be true
. I've heard the series has a sad ending which has made me even more worried.
As for the series itself, its been pretty decent so far with the small amount of episodes I've sat through. Not really far enough in to give any strong comments about the series.

The anime for The World Ends With You starts April. I can't really be arsed to replay the game to catch up with stuff before the second game drops, so this'll be a decent way to do so.

I wonder why Pani-Poni Dash never left a mark in the US but every other show similar to it that came before or after did(i.e. Nichijou). It wasn't bad or anything, I wonder if it just went under the radar since so much other stuff was getting pushed out at the time.

I wonder why this show never made it to the US, it’s English dub exists in Southeast Asia:

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Pani Poni Dash!. The humor is extremely dense, and without a solid grasp of mid-aughts JP online memes most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer's head.

It didn't? I know of at least one person who dons the title of Himeko Katagiri.

I think the last old anime I watched was Master Keaton and while some episodes varied in quality ended up liking it. Strongest aspect for me was the mix of OST and backgrounds giving it a really unique feel I haven't seen a lot and a few episodes really stood out for me.
Old trailer does a good job describing, but if I had too, it be something along the lines of if someone made 36 episodes like the one off episodes from Monster where Tenma is taught how to shoot a gun, saves an old women despite being on the run, etc.

Master Keaton is the second best thing Naoki Urasawa did next to 20th Century Boys. I still have to finish collecting the omnibus special editions since the 10th volume came out a couple of months ago.
Don’t know if this counts as a double post, but but the manga version of Ajin: Demi-Human has ended after nine years.
There were three movies that were made after this anime.

I never thought I'd see the day Studio Ghibli would make an ugly film, but...
Holy shit, Earwig and the Witch was so awful. They should've stuck to 2D for it; the story would still suck eggs through a straw and come off more as a shoddy TV special than an actual movie, but it would've at least been appealing to look at. The Ghibli expressions were so stiff and unattractive that it made the characters even uglier, and they were already unlikable characters to begin with. Erika (the showing was in dub) is such a goddamn brat, she is a terrible child, and the people she was adopted by were just as bad in comparison. They were literally treated/raised to be the villains/antagonists of the film but then suddenly we're supposed to like them in the last ten minutes? The color palette is literally non-existent, it's just drab and gloomy and nothing is pleasing to the eye and it ended on such a sudden no-ending note that everyone (there weren't many of us) in the theater went "WHAT." They all even agreed with me the movie was garbage after the credits rolled.
The music was the only good part about the movie, but I'm not going to remember the rest of it by the time I go to bed, it's so uninspired. This was just a terrible movie that shouldn't have been allowed to be shown in theaters. I am perplexed this came out of Studio Ghibli. Mary and the Witch's Flower was more of a Ghibli film than this, and that wasn't done by them but by ex-Ghibli animators.
I owe Tales from Earthsea an apology. Despite its messy third act, that at least has everything you'd expect from a Ghibli film.

Looking at the trailer, couldn't they just take Level 5's Ni No Kuni engine if they wanted a 3d film? It looks like it was made 20 years too late.
