Support NeoGAF

[Dresden]

I really don't know why, but I ended up watching episodes four through five of C3. I skipped episodes two and three. One day I'll get to the shows I actually do want to watch.

I think my main problem with the show--asides from the infodumps and the dull designs and the bad art and the mostly lackluster animation and the thin plot and the general trying too hard vibe that one gets from the overuse of the word bitch--is that it's just a jumble of parodies, Shaft parodies at that, all tossed together with no consideration for consistency or tone. This is particularly bad during the battle scenes--it's like the creators wanted to make something really cool and edgy so they just threw shit together with no real goal in mind.

The lack of visual consistency is reflected by the jarring shifts in tone in the show itself. One moment dudes are getting their guts hacked up, the next, it's a highschool romcom, then it's a shonen infodump, then it ends with harem hijinks.

And it really is ugly. At times it felt like I was watching Angel Beats, but with a decidedly Shaft bent in mind because Oonuma is a try-hard hack, with the end result being something that sits uneasily, a gross amalgam of influences.

I will probably watch the whole thing.

Blood+ was better than Blood C in every possible way

Blood-C is shorter.

HNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNG

Man that lolicon is so fucking bad.

Raika is so weird.

Land Lady is such a bitch.

Spoilers for future episodes:

Spoiler

I was wondering when they were going to move into a bigger house, I saw artwork from the manga where the house it seemed they were living in was a lot bigger. I wonder how he is going to afford it though. It would be cool if he could find a place with his bro and Raika or something, combine money to get a bigger place.

Also Hina gets a dog.

Spoilers for future episodes

Spoiler

They move into his sister's home. He only needs to pay the expenses for utilities, I think, because the house was already paid in full by his sister's husband. Would've been pretty awesome if he lived with Raika, though...

Is this a fan poll? It's probably just the Otakus projecting their own personalities onto Shu, so they feel compelled to vote for him.

I didn't even bother to scan down that far.

It's much as I expected. Apparently Senjougahara is only slightly better than snail girl. Outrageous.

Newtype has spoken, it's gospel now.

I'm just glad Kira is still up there.

So you're calling Guilty Crown a grand success?

 

[Noirulus]

Then what's Inori?

The personality-less waifu they all wish for, because we all know that Otakus can't handle Genki.

So you're calling Guilty Crown a grand success?

No doubt. I've never seen such a textbook format premise from a shounen.

The lesser the personality, the easier to grope!

Meanwhile an interminable slow grind with little payoff is ok at 50 episodes.

I still don't know how or why I finished that show. Truly, those were dark days.

 

[wsippel]

Yeah, earlier in the show the nonsense was amusing (episode 12 in particular), now it's just a pain to watch.

Which is incidentally when I stopped watching. The show is utter garbage. Dude should have made HSotD 2 instead of this piece of shit.

You're acting like character popularity contests only end up with bad characters wining in Japan. I don't think it's specific to one country.

Stands to reason. We're on GAF.

Blood-C - 06

Shit's going down, but it's still pretty boring. Even the action is getting pretty stale..

He has such a natural ability to look like a creeper.

And god knows what's inside his coffee that this episode continuously kept showing.

Fucking cockblocker.

Fairy Tail 118-119

Well they made vs Hades and one of my favorite attacks so stunning in the anime especially the part after Natsu boosted everyones moral, perhaps one of the best moments in Fairy Tail thus far.

Spoiler

I think the answer is (as for pretty much anything in that episode): fan service. Suzuha had to be in there somewhere in order to complete the cast, so her mother was turned into a clone of her who even had the same voice. Hell, even the ending credits list her as "Amane Suzuha".
