The world wasn't and still isn't ready for Musashi Gundoh

The animation can definitely get rough in spots, which is why I'm looking forward to getting my hands on the BD, as I figure they must have cleaned up at least some of it for that. But the general design established for the setting, the characters, the creatures, and the narrative itself keeps things engaging even in the roughest spots. I've enjoyed every episode.
Really, while I certainly appreciate having a consistently polished production, that's not necessary for making a successful anime if you've got a strong enough artistic vision guiding the whole process. Sometimes the struggle of artists to get made what they want to make makes the work more valuable!
Maybe we can do it together! We stopped around the same spot!
The early parts are by far the worst segment of the show.

Well then I would be completely wrong, and be shamed in front of everyone.
Good thing I'm not, and if I was, you out of consideration for our friendship, wouldn't correct me.
Because we're friends. WE'RE FRIENDS NARAG!
Also Garo is far from a perfect production. It definitely struggles visually, especially early on.
That said, I would say that Garo makes up for it somewhat with good art design. Especially in the horrors.
I think it helps that Garo has a very attractive and unique character design style. It looks like a comic book but not really in a specifically generic western or anime way. Stylized look, flat colors, but very striking.

Well I'll add it to the backlog, I've been neglecting that since I finished LOGH last year and watching the last 2/3 of Garo isn't such an arduous task.
I have no friends here (aside from duckroll and Zach). Everyone else just bullies me.

Okay, okay. New anime idea. It's the year 3100. Turn of the century, A lone figure clashes with the horizon, it comes closer - its massive poncho covered frame lumbering over the landscape. At one hip hangs a gargantuan Smith and Wesson; at the other, a Katana and Wazikashi set.
From the distance, the sound of hooves and a mechanical neighing resounds. Six massive mecha equipped with the finest Levi Strauss armor and cowboy hats encircle the lone mech. His beady robotic eyes asses the situation and he growls, "One, two, three, four, five, and six. Six, the perfect number." The leader of the bandit mechs pulls his mecha-horse to a halt, asking, "I thought three was the perfect number?"
Close up on the lone mech as he replies, "I've got six more bullets in my gun." Fade to black.
I call it Rurouni Gundam: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly.

Anime GAF I need your help. What do I watch tonight? Do I catch up on IBO and watch the latest episode of Durarara X2 or do I watch the DBZ Cooler films? I shall leave it to you.

What I would imagine anyone's first real battle in a place like this would be like: scary, messy, gory. And then in the end I'm sure you too would get pangs of regret. I like how the show is handling all of these things.

You shouldn't be giving these ideas away for free.
I don't think it was necessarily unimportant to explore the idea of not every superhuman being created equally. Think you need a large range to sell the idea of the world. Next ep is like this one but with someone on the other end of the power spectrum. Please be excited.
If there was some sort of Indiegogo to keep them from being posted, I'd like to donate.

True, it did add to the world building. It was still a good episode so I don't mind either way.

The Big O - 2
Show really nails that good Batman atmosphere. Roger's super enjoyable to watch and Big O's design is great.
Good stuff.
Someone make a nope.gif out of this scene.

LotV was great! We also have total warhammer coming soon!
After finishing Steins;Gate, I'm in the mood for something lighter.
I've got Gintama up right now, on my screen, and I love it (this is episode 77 I've just started, so a ways to go), but I dunno if that's quite what I'm looking for.
Someone tell me what to watch. Or should I just keep watching Gintama.

Kare Kano ep.5
Pretty damn funny episode with all the craziness going on distracting our cute couple. New best bro for Arina should be an interesting addition as well.

Hai to Gensou no Grimgar ep 2:
Ummm wow. Don't think an an mmo turned real anime has shown this perspective before. They are in an mmo right? The pacing is slow but the details are plentiful. That goblin fight was something. It makes me wonder if this anime will have a tragedy label on it or not.

Nothing quite like seeing Batman in a giant robot blasting the hell out of a giant electric eel to make one feel good about mecha's glory days.

By an unanimous vote of one, it shall be IBO and DRRR
Gundam Iron Blooded Orphans 14
Oh boy, oh boy is shit about to go down.
Possible treachery,Tekkadan being possibly deceived, Biscuit brother and the emergence of our actual Char Clone.
Next episode is going to be good.
Concrete Revolutio - 7
That was really good.
This episode at the end contains a time skip post credit scene, which I really wish they wouldn't do post credit as I almost missed it until I noticed that there is still some time left.
That was really good.
Firstly, once again the superhuman bureau is looking quiet not right, trying to manipulate Earth-chan since the public considers everything she says as good, good. More importantly, wow I am impressed with Earth-chan's story, a robot who sees the world in binary good and evil, and feels good when someone is in trouble because in reality she was designed to be a weapon. I thought she was going to be just an obnoxious character, but that quickly turned around into something bittersweet. She can't help seeing things in black and white, and yet is confronted by a)that people are complicated and b)her very own nature, and so in the end resorts to lying to herself, the very same action that she just wholesale considers "evil".

Best ep in the show and complements episode 6 nicely.

Oh Izaya you asshole, never change.
Izaya aside, this episode was largely about the ladies. It was an interesting episode overall.

Now the question is what's going to happen now that Celty's head is known to the public.
I'd be surprised if that happened to her.

I really, really love the use of montage in Ikuhara's works. Especially Penguindrum. It's the kind of quick edits that are made in those scenes that just aren't possible in film that made me start watching anime in the first place.
Hey! You're the person who doesn't like pineapple pizza! D<

Earth-chan is literally too innocent and pure for the world of Concrete Revolutio.
She gonna die. ;_;
She gonna die. ;_;
I can't believe that's how you know me as. XD
Bad things already happened to her. The question is how much more bad things are going to happen.
I'm proud of you.

Thanks to that, I'll never forget you.
Pineapple pizza is my spirit animal.
But not before she is manipulated into betraying everything she stands for!
Still playing around with Grey Goo.
If actual Romance of the Three Kingdoms characters in your anime is something that interests you, consider the eternal legendary revered classic Souten Kouro.
Or Ikki Tousen.
