Upotte and then this, the OT will be forever tainted.

I don't know, doomed1's Upotte OT was pretty beast.
Are we going to perpetuate this rumour from now on?
doomed1 has my eternal respect and admiration for that genius OT.
If someone can make the AKB0048 OT at that level...

This is true.
Man knows his guns, girls, and OT making: clever titles and all.
Hey, hey, hey. I saw Redline! I just want MORE but the problem is that there isn't more of it!
My Redline is in my pants and all over my face all the time.

Meh, KyoAni can animate those mechas in FMP2 properly... cars shouldn't be a problem.
Now if they can moeify cars....

Thankfully, we wouldn't want the Apollon thread to get the same dreadful treatment this thread got.

Well then don't complain when they moéfy ineffable horrors from times immemorial.

Did they really deserve to live after all the crappy Marvel adaptations?

Storm was pretty cute but that was about it.
The big boobies and zombie markets are already taken.
All good things must come to an end, cajun. Sometimes it's better to put the ones you love out of their misery.
My work here is done~
Don't forget, they still have a second season of HSoTD to make!
Don't worry. I'm sure Apollon will sell in Japan about as well as Watanabe's other works.

Selling as well as Cowboy Bebop would be nothing to sneeze at.
Guys, if your one true ahoge ever turns out not to be an ahoge in the first place, just look for Envelope!
at the manga's current rate, madhouse will probably die of old age before that happens
Well, a quick google shows me I'm wrong as hell about Bebop. I stand corrected!
Bagi, the Monster of Mighty Nature
As touched upon before, this is a made for tv movie written by Osamu Tezuka after Japan approved recombinant DNA research in 1984. Bagi is a human/cat hybrid that grows up not knowing her past but her attachment to her previous owner, Ryu, results in them crossing paths again and setting off on a journey to find out the truth of her past. It carries a theme that mankind and unchecked science make for a dangerous combination and uses some strong visuals in the laboratory environment in the middle of the film to portray this.
As much as I'm loathe to phrase it this way, this movie hasn't aged well. The character animation is inconsistent with malformed faces and Bagi herself being at least four different colors, the cuts for commercials are really distracting (and reminded me of older Chuck Jones made for TV projects for reason I can't quite put my finger on), and overall it's in dire of need of editing as there's a lot of bizarre scenes that don't really enhance the overall product but rather detract. In particular, there's quite a few innocent scenes that almost feel uncomfortable when taken out of context which is more the onus of the viewer than the creators and it's a pity too because there's really a touching story to be found in Bagi but it's mired under many, many problems.
Example of inconsistency as the main character is apparently a hunchback in this shot.
Bagi in her youth.
Movie took a weird stylistic shift twice where things became more cartoony even when attending to a serious matter.

I'm still a neophyte and ignorant in the ways of AnimeGAF and as such my vocabulary isn't quite up to snuff what with your ahoges, ahegaos, NTRs, DFCs, and moe but does this constitute waifu material?

Yeah, this is turning out to be a rather unfaithful adaptation, which would be fine if it could stand on its own, but it doesn't seem like it can. I'll probably watch to the end, but boy is it a disappointment, especially considering a totally off the wall insane arc probably won't be animated.
Once a sailor, always a sailor.Rinne is amazing. Holy god.
I'm dying here.
They gave us Kaiji and Chihayafuru.

I do think it's standing on its own, but I've never read the manga to create the dissonance. I was avoiding doing so, initially, but rather be in the world where

Araragi, what is your wonderful voice doing in my puzzle anime.
Anyway, they did a great job getting right to the action and plot this time around, though not having to go through the initial setup phases of a new series probably helped a bit. Loved the little hi-five Ana gave to the oblivious Gammon when they first met up.
Those earrings are clearly evil.
Sounds like whoever Freecell's "Nana" is will be important eventually. Looking forward to more of this while it stays fast-paced.

I don't really understand how the routes and movement in the mirror puzzle work, but it was pretty tense nonetheless. Some Indiana Jones shit at the end there.
I can tell this season is really going to jack up the scale. It seems like there will be rivals for each of the title holders. Considering each has a different specialty, I imagine that means there's going to be more variety in the puzzles (and season 1 had plenty variety). More characters doing stuff is usually a good thing, so I'm excited.
Also, I really love the OP.

So I had this long diatribe about how this series had setup a perfect universe for a full fledged 26 episodes if not a good 50 and how they were wasting all of it. Then last thing I see after I had come to accept that not all stories get told to their proper climax, I see the second season announcement.
The show itself is amazing on multiple levels, the color palette, the music, the characters, the universe(the different factions), and even the story. The characters themselves are relatively spunky and have a certain personality to them. Their chemistry of each other was very enjoyable to watch such as Muginami trolling Lan. It's a very solid entry and did a great job with developing the friendship between the three. The music was pretty memorable with the synths and didn't seem out of place anywhere.
The biggest problem I have with the show is twofolds. The first is that it feels incomplete. The second is a bit more substantial. Madoka has a bit of a 180 and chases after her friends in a sequence where it seems she can't let go. I was hoping she was learning to trust on other people but that whole bit seems counter to that.
