I must be dead then since I dropped it at the end of ep 1, pretty slow.

Oh you.

I dropped it at ep 0.

Not enough pandering for you, I take it.

 

[Brazil]

Well shit. Are people really going to tune in next week for more of that?

Well, it's still beautiful.

 

[Jex]

Perhaps, although I suspect most of them have somewhat more complex motivations behind them than "Bwa ha ha, we're going to take over the universe!" It annoys me that the series presents such a nuanced view of politics, then turns around and presents such a dismissive, one-sided caricature of religion.

Well I don't know if the Earth Cult are really there as a stand in for religion as a whole or simply a representation of the kinds of power that small, fanatical groups can wield and exert over much larger entities.

Of course, if they aren't there as a representation of religion then where, exactly, is religion in the LOGH universe? I do not know.

I was going to catch up with Hyouka today, but all of this negativity has me pretty close to bailing on it. Is it at least worth making it through episode five to conclude that mystery?

You should watch it all because its a great show.

Hyouka 06:

Chitanda has the world's worst memory, and Oreki learned what love is about.

Namely, that it constantly flips from this:

to this:

Not a memorable episode sans the normal high quality production values. Basically, a bad filler.

Next week preview: Time to sell dem Blu Rays!

absolutely disgraceful.

we're a community now and members of this establishment should discuss such major decisions with fellow members, instead of making irrational decisions and taking matters in their own hands.

It sure doesn't sound like a great show.

Well, it's still beautiful.

I'm still beautiful, but no one comes to see me every week...it's not fair!

People seem to be disliking it for the same reasons that I would dislike it. I'm just in it for the production quality at this point, so if the mysteries or character interaction decline in quality any further, I'm out.

I'll marathon 4-6 this afternoon and see if I agree with the complaints.

Hey, we've all been there. Don't judge me.

We'd totally post our weekly Ultimadrago impressions if there was a simulcast.

 

[Dragoon En Regalia]

I'm sorry, but that is just factually incorrect. THIS is the best Cowboy Bebop remix ever made.

Pretty cool, too, but that's a mash-up and my pick was a groove. Apples and oranges. And I think it's less about the emotion and more about the restraint and vacuum feeling of 4U's remix.

Trava is by far Koike's best work. Then comes the Redline pilot; the actual Redline movie is way too restrained and suffers for it.

Wouldn't it be more of a Ishii work, though? Koike's responsible for much of the directing and visual style, but he's not the one writing the story, the dialogue, the whateva.. What's so restrained about Redline?

I'm reminded of why I don't post too often: I say things that get me into too many arguments. This thread gets hectic in the early morning.

Of course, if they aren't there as a representation of religion then where, exactly, is religion in the LOGH universe? I do not know.

I'm pretty sure the Earth Cult is meant to be a representation of religion as a whole. There's a comment in one of the history lessons that all humanity spontaneously gave up organized religion after nuclear war (if that hasn't happened by now, it's not going to happen in the future), and if I recall correctly the connection is explicitly made that the Earth Cult is a return of the spirit of that old religion.

Disgusting. What kind of sick person would actually watch this?

when is the first episode airing?

What the show lacked in substance it made up for with great visuals. The moment when

Spoiler

left me in awe.

Overall it looks like they are doing a lot with a modest budget. Some of the themes seem very shoujo(-esque) especially the overly melodramatic MC. I will give it the 3 episode try, and then see if it's worth watching after that.

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

hyouka

......you better believe the show will win you guys back, next week with the beach/bathhouse episode! (same thing)

 

[duckroll]

I'm sure 7th will.

I'm going to tune in next week to solve the mystery of how we will get through an entire episode of cute girls in an onsen without a single shot of fanservice. Because you know, it's KyoAni and there probably won't be any.

I would tune in for that.

Well, considering that was my favourite episode in the series, probably.

Hyouka Ep4-5 are really up there with some of the other best episodes of this season. They really show that the show has a ton of potential. Unfortunately this isn't a consistent thing and show the weakness of being a slave to bad source material.

 

[Jex]

Well, it's still beautiful.

True, but that really shouldn't count for anything when the show still manages to be bad despite all the effort spent on art/animation/storyboarding/cinematography. In fact, it just reinforces what a waste of time the whole project because these talented individual could clearly be working on something far better.

I thought that was the case, but I hadn't bothered going back to the episode in question and double checking.

EmmanuelMunoz is too intelligent to heed opinions of people that use the word "animes" as a plural.

The material is just too deep

Spoiler

*snickers*

for you!

 

[Dedication Through Light]

Phi Brain 2 ep8

Ana was so silly during the puzzle, but he always knows whats best for Kaito, almost better than Nonoha. I enjoyed the match.

Spoiler

Jikukawa and the POG with that Forbidden Pond subplot sounds cool. I can't wait until its brought to the surface. I guess Orpheus Order is deeper than I originally thought.

I don't think any of us know how to do that... not that this particular anime is bad...or anything...

You should have seen some of the images I DIDN'T post.

 

[Ultimadrago]

Too easy.

I was imitating "cartoon old man" talk. It doesn't count!

Though I did greatly overshoot what I said there about how many anime series I'd watch this spring.

 

[Dragoon En Regalia]

It's much like the dichotomy between Chao and Chaos. Chao is plural, dingus-es.

Too easy.

Search has ruined/saved everything.

How bad is the censorship? I might just wait for the BDs.

It is a shame, indeed. KyoAni should really be investing their talents into something else.

But I've watched crappier shows with less production values and hardly any good animation moments, so the visuals are enough to keep me coming week after week.

 

[Crash Station]

Cereal?

Yes

Blood-C 1 - 12

What

Spoiler

the fuck did I just watch? Holy crap this was possibly the most entertaining anime I have ever seen in my entire life! I didn't know where they were going near the end, but then episodes 11 and 12 had me literally screaming and laughing at what they did. The horrific deaths were completely over the top and insane, I couldn't help but think what kind of drugs the staff were on when they made this show.

Did you watch it uncensored?

 

[Ultimadrago]

It's much like the dichotomy between Chao and Chaos. Chao is plural, dingus-es.

Never have chaos been this "huggable".

 

[Makoto]

The Melancholy of Haiyore! Nyaruko-san 8

I think I got most of the references the time around, so in that regard, this is my favorite episode.

 

[Dragoon En Regalia]

Never have chaos been this "huggable".

Don't make me use my Homing Attack.

Spoiler

Or, if we're playing Sonic Adventure: don't make me use Gamma![/url]

Maybe we could have Chao Moe. That would work really well, considering how many different types of Chao can be bred.
