Great, now I kinda want to see just how awful this is.

That's like, one of the classiest images from Anima as well. It gets so much worse.
Well the sadamoto manga went off the rails albeit in a less pronounced fashion so think of it as just another face of god, or canon.

Apparently Asuka is no longer a tsundere in this one and is a sweet and cheerful girl. Downgrade total.

I don't know. Does Angelic Days have Mari and Rei, both as children, both wearing swimsuits, sitting together? Does it feature multiple variations of the female cast as children?
Yeah, that's pretty hard to beat.

Sounds better than Rebuild, am i right guys?
It might! Admittedly, I couldn't make it very far.
Probably no Mari, though, as it's older than that.
Doesn't seem to have any CG cars, so no.
Shit can't even be called Eva without a tsundere Asuka.

In a way, I'd rather see an anime version of Anima than more Rebuild. Why? Because Anima is way, way more ridiculous than anything in the original show or the new movies. It's so amazingly stupid that it might actually be entertaining. It features the 'Super-Evangelion' for christ's sakes. Also, this:
(Spoilers for the TV show and Evangelion Anima):
You couldn't make anything this stupid up.
You just want to see those upgraded Asuka chesticles lovingly animated with the glorious Gainax bounce. Admit it.

hey guys Nisemonogatari is out was it shit or was it shit
Well you quoted me just now, clearly that means you're the stalker here.
Sounds like a terrible trainwreck. Who lets these incompetent writers handle Eva licenses in such shamefully horrible ways?
I mean, I can understand that the fans want more eva, but at least put some effort into it. There's like 2 other Eva spinoffs in manga form that are equally shit

To think we like in an age when so many people would pick up and watch an old anime show from 1997.
Whatever remains of Gainax probably doesn't care as long as they get dat sweet sweet money.

Still, from what I've read about it there appears to be an amazingly entertaining trainwreck in the making, like some kind of terrible Star Trek fanction combines with really nice mechanical designs.
It's even more amazing when you remember that anything made before the year 2000 is unwatchable by today's standards.

Exactly. It's an era of terribly sharp noses and awful animation where Takehito Koyasu was the voice actor in every damn show.
Anima spoilers - She also
merged with her Evangelion Unit.
Most glorious shit so far this year
It had the Courage to be Shit!
(Actually, it was pretty great. It made me laugh an awful lot throughout).

I love ABe's art. I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE ITTTTTTTTTT.
Also i just watched Kill me baby, and i liked it. The artwork is really cute and simple but admittedlt terrible.
I will have fun with it but i bet it will be the most hated show this season. Its kind of really stupid but i like it anyway.

Well, it's not like they've suddenly become desperate and this work is something they'd never have considered doing before. They've been milking the crap out of the characters since, well, the show began. Admittedly they've gone a bit farther with this work than they have before, but it's not particularly surprising.
Doesn't that mean she's
merged with a mentally unstable half of her mothers soul... unless that shit's been changed in Anima???

How much this show will appeal to anyone really seems to be based around whether you think Nana Mizuki is the bee's knees. If you like all her very similar sounding anisong records (which a lot of people do!) then you'll probably love that all the battle sequences are set to her songs.
Production values are merely adequate; while not completely without a style of its own, the style isn't particularly interesting (the way the show displays attack names on the screen, for instance, is not particularly clever or exciting, but I suppose it is at least a little different). The concert sequence goes for the same super-smooth animation that Haruhi, Kannagi etc. use for their dances, which I'm sure some people will like but I couldn't help wanting to see Satelight try and do something clever like their concert sequences for Macross F.
Anyway, opening "twist" aside there's little very interesting about Symphogear story-wise. The only real hook is to find out
, but to get there you have to go through some halfway competent action sequences, a bit of fanservice and some moeblob schoolgirl hijinks first. So - an anime, then.

Don't look at me, I don't come up with this crap. If you check out some of the stuff I've mentioned above I'm sure that you'll notice that it's all just ridiculous trash anyway.

Wish I could find a bigger version of this.
Saw it on display at at AX 2003
I can't wait for all the great Violinist of Hameln marathons of 2013.
You are a good man.
Yeah, reading the EvaGeeks page on this shit is giving me a really bad headache so i'm just gonna try and forget this thing even exists.

Chihayafuru 7:
Taichi...like a boss. Great episode, and I loved seeing more focus on Taichi's development and showing off his skills. Those scenes with him at the end of the episode were just plain awesome.

Completely wrong. Haruhi and Kannagi have legit animation for their singing/dancing sequences; Symphogear's "super-smooth animation" is actually lazy CG rotoscope: the characters were animated in CG and then they had some poorly paid goons draw over the CG. It's really obvious in cuts like this. In the end, the result isn't nearly as pleasing or appealing as the concert scenes in the two previously mentioned shows.
And the concert sequences for Macross F are really dumb and ugly as hell. Sharon Apple remains the peak of anime concert sequences.
Well I can understand how hard it must be, and I apologize for putting you through this ordeal. Unfortunately I am taking part of the avatar craze and as such, must tempt you until the end of this month.

Bodacious Space Pirates 01: Those were the most derivative twenty-four minutes of animu I've watched since the first twenty minutes of Ben-To. It was a great exercise in how to take an rambunctious concept like pirates... in space! and make it as dull as possible. Things like CGI ships, CGI cars, CGI lamps, and CGI water are only a small part of a long and slow showcase of laziness, laziness, laziness.
The episode begins with
I stand again by my proposal that this would have been much more interesting with real pirates, if only because we would have been spared all of that.
I did like the opening song despite the awful singer's voice; it sounded bodacious. Otherwise, awful animation and direction and scripting (no girl randomly goes on a tangent about world history just because) is detrimental to what should be a fun ride. At least the next episode preview had explosions!
The episode begins with
an expository piece about how pirates are legal now or some shit and some background info about the universe they live in, somehow managing to give it the importance of cavemen painting in walls. After that it is establishing shot after establishing shot of how the world in this animu is totally like hours, but in the future! You have stuff like iPads and sliding doors and magazines that go into the telly, which is indeed fantastical, but all stuff that's been done before. It has long ago lost its punch.

I thought it was rotoscoping but it looked so much like Hare Hare Yukai that I googled up an old Animesuki thread that suggested that virtually no-one used rotoscope in anime and these things were done with loads of inbetweening. I stand corrected!
I make the comparison here because it's Satelight animating Symphogear. Personally I like Frontier's concert sequences, particularly the ones in the movies (Niji-iro KumaKuma from Sayonara no Tsubasa is just lovely, but I can certainly agree to disagree

Fantasy music anime where people beat up monsters with musical instruments.
CG rotoscope is actually really common these days. Ufotable uses it all the time. For this scene in Kara no Kyoukai, for example, all the animation was done with CG models and then they had the artists draw over the models so that it would look 2D.
