Bakuman 2 ep 15

Epic moment, but they could have dedicated more animation to it. Aoki is definitely one of my favorites especially all her facial expressions as the episode progressed. I pray Tanto doesnt get serialized and animation, go back to grim dark serious stories, please.

This show is just fun, and that is fine by me. It's just plain enjoyable for me to watch.

Also I loop the OP for hours on end... Like at least 6 hours every day, and I don't get tired of it. I have no clue why, but I can't stop listening. When the OP single for the first half releases, i'm gonna have my friend in Japan get me a copy. I love Megumi Nakajima's voice.


Same here, I love both the song and animation in the OP and ED. I really like the massive amounts of colour used in this show, it really brings everything to life. I'm glad this show has a genki girl instead of the generic, dumb, feeble minded guy.
 
Oh! I went to post the new fragment released in another thread (http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?p=34297189#post34297189) and I didn't see you posting it here. Sorry for the redundancy, hosannainexcelsis!

No apology necessary! I'm sure that thread has a different audience anyway.

I should mention that this is one of the many things I like about Crunchyroll, who posted a news item about this - they bring to my attention indie animation and sakuga videos I otherwise wouldn't be aware of. Another person I recently learned about from them was Naotoshi Shida, a Toei animator who has done some of the most eye-catchingly fluid animation I've laid eyes on.
 
It makes up for it with symbolism.

Loli, imo.

Angel's Egg is an anime about waifus. It all makes sense now.

Jesus character= Oshii

The girl= anime fans

The egg= waifus

When
the Jesus man smashes the egg
, it's Oshii exposing the emptiness of the waifu phenomenon and how mere empty shells with the pretense of being birds are no substitute for the real thing.

Also, the fishermen symbolize animators trying to actually make money in the industry.
 
Those dubs are fine. whats not fine are all the youtube videos of people trying to sing the lyrics of japanese OP's or even worse, english translations. Good god.
 
Nisemonogatari 2

I did my best to avoid all your earlier discussion on this so I could have a fresh impression, but I suppose I belong in the "fuck the haters, this is awesome" camp. New ending song is still no Kimi no Shiranai Monogatari, but it's still pretty good. New OP is also nice, not just for Eri Kitamura's singing, but also because "marshmallow justice" is one of the best names for an OP song, ever.

Also, at the end,
Koyomi with Mayoi's hairstyle was priceless. Nothing like a little taste of your own medicine, huh?
 
Rinne no Lagrange 2 - I'm really enjoying this show for some reason, it has a certain energy to it that Guilty crown lacked, plus it has a awesome female lead to boot! (which is always a plus). The overall episode was a decent follow-up to the first episode, but not as good for various reasons, the last few minutes were pretty awesome though, can't wait for next week!
 
She sounds like a 35 year old trying to be a trendy high school girl. Though honestly, it probably wouldn't bother me too much if the audio itself wasn't terrible. Will probably sound better in the actual show.

I like a lot of dubs. Remember my former tag?
Although the original japanese voices are usually way more hnnnng.
 
Rinne no Lagrange 2

It is nice to have a character that's not entirely angst, and/or revenge based, as awesome as they are when done right, but the flipside is kind of annoying. There's no rhyme or reason to Madoka's actions, no motivation, and it's making the whole show seem incredibly awkward. She's told to do, and she does with a giggle, smile, and a knock on the head.

In one sense, it's the more natural of portrayals; a 14-15 year old girls against an interstellar organization is going to have almost no say, and get but the most filtered of info, but she doesn't even ask for that much. She's not just genki, she's dull.

This show gets points from me just for not having another crybaby protagonist. Her cousin is awesome, too. Such a fun show.
