Probably nothing to do with it. In Mexico we called the soccer field the area and it was common to say "out of bounds" as "out of the area" (Fuera del área)

*Shrugs*

When NISA starts anything with "Dear Valued Customers" these days, I can't help but laugh. It certainly can't be true, or they wouldn't have to make any statement starting with those words to begin with. :p

Should I watch Brave 10?

The girl looks hot.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

Isanami is a worthless character and only gets a little screen time per episode after the beginning anyway. I'm already posting pics of her with each episode impression to save cajun from having to watch, I suppose I'll do the same for you too.

I always liked N.T.H.T. Once again it wasn't until I found this group that discovered that someone actually don't like the show. I've heard positive things about it elsewhere.
I honestly can't figure out what's bad about it.

Erm, you can't do that. It's called offside.

Well, this knight "ideal" in the show isn't just a person standing there in offside next to the goalkeeper (I think I simplified too much the way they mean it in the show).
They play it as someone so good that when the team can't score, he appears in the penalty area and he's able to break through the defense as he gets a pass and score, or something like that.
It still makes no sense they call it knight.

I'm with you on this one. AnimeGAF will be AnimeGAF.

Wait, I still don't get it. Why does he only "appear" when the team can't score? Isn't he... part of the team? And if he is, why would there be a period where the "team" can't score, if he's in it and playing properly? This is getting more and more confusing.

Aside from the animation (which thankfully is not as awkward as early digital was), the character designs look to be in an older style.

It's clearly the character designs that separate the production (visually) from more recent works. I do have to say that everyone's hair looks terrible - so much so that I'm distracted even in such a short trailer!

I'm pretty sure this was the point where I started actively disliking this show instead of merely being frustrated that it wasn't living up to its potential.

I will definitely say that I don't feel Kemonozume comes together 'smoothly' as a whole product by the finale. It definitely feels like like the work of many different people, rather than a streamlined project with a tight story. Still, I actually quite enjoy that aspect of the series because that's what makes it so interesting to watch even if I feel that it could have concluded in a better matter.

There is a gifted player that has this dream in which the Japanese national team is tied and isn't able to break the tie until this special player, this knight in the area appears, catches his pass and scores at the last second, so he says Japanese soccer needs a Knight in the area. This is more or less the explanation for this Knight person in the show. Why couldn't it simply be a striker? Dunno.

I liked it better when strikers were wild and only had a Hungry Heart. Made me think of hippos. Knight in the Area doesn't even sound cool.

Can someone explain to me why there is a show called "Knight in the Area" in the first place? What the fuck is it even supposed to mean?

Basically a striker in the opponents box.

To draw it parallel with the "knight", I'm guessing it's the guy that vanquishes foes i.e you win games by scoring goals.

I understand you're trying very hard, and I appreciate it, but you're only making the show sound dumber and dumber with each post. Actually, that might be your intention. Lol.

Some people like it, some people don't.

Btw, BRS TV is good.
Do the characters in the OAV go through as much pain and suffering as they do in the TV series?

Nisio I know this was your doing you no good trolling blue balls bastard.

Ah well, on the bright side I never tire of seeing
Ararararagi get the ever living shit beat out of him. There's a carnal pleasure in that I admit.
So much BD teasing. Anyway, I liked it, like I liked the rest of the show, and it was a fun ride. Just being able to enjoy the pretty art and self-masturbatory dialogue is enough for me, but the show managed to actually be animated at points too, so that's a plus.

But no seriously Nisio you lazy teasing bastard!

(Teen Shinobu is cool at least)

Really though I'm just mad it's over so soon.

Yeah, cool stuff going on. The show really started out rather subpar, but I'm glad I stuck with it and am relatively hyped for season 2, especially if we'll have more intense puzzles like this.

Yeah, I've been impressed with how they've managed to up the anty as the series has progressed. Definitely watching Season 2.


You're... not familiar with Ace Attorney?!
