[Jarmel]

So was going through old posts on Xam'd on AnimeSuki, as I'm debating a rewatch and wanted to know my old complaints, and ran across this beautiful line from duckroll,

Kyoda's writing and direction definitely has a very deep and meaningly style to it that gives all the characters the needed shades to be convincing in their deliveries, ESPECIALLY in romance.

How times have changed I guess. At the time, I probably thought something similar.

 

[madp]

As dreary as the transformation sequence itself.

I'm just gonna come out and say it, but as glad as I was for Takanashi to be gone, so far Takaki's stuff isn't even as good as Takanashi's was. He's phoning this one in.

Heartcatch Orchestra yo (spoilers I guess)

 

[cajunator]

Is takanashi the guy who introduced synth into precure? That was the best.

 

[CornBurrito]

Most people watched space bros an episode or two at a time.
The pacing of it doesn't lend well to marathons. A lot of long running series are like that.
Thats a problem with a lot of series.

Yeah, sadly my friends are on the latest episode and I want to catch up.

Magi 18.... lol.

Except he hasn't. The sound direction has been atrocious.

I forgot how much ass-focus Kirino got in this series.

And Kyousuke's mom is best girl.

Heartcatch Orchestra yo (spoilers I guess)

Always sounded weirdly xtreme 90s to me.

I was always fond of the Suite transformation theme (I hope this is the right video, youtube is shitting itself for me tonight), though then again that just makes me wonder what could have been if Satou had composed something similar with the benefit of actual musical instruments.

Not as awesome as last week's but

Hibito and Mutta's talk at the end got to me. Manly tears.

Yes!! Suite precure transformation is my favorite one too!!

I really like Suite's transformation sequences, by the way. It makes me sad when I am reminded me of Dokidoki.

"Recovery" episode. Not too much of note beyond further Minorin hints and Ryuuji repeatedly punching himself in the thoughts

Space Brothers 1-9

This show is a little slow. It might just not be for me. I'm enjoying it, but I feel myself having a hard time sitting through the 22 minutes of an episode in a single sitting.

Psycho Pass

So I saw episode 1 of this, and it seemed fairly predictable. Is it worth watching? Does it throw any interesting twists in?

Space bros is slow and the budget is bare, but mutta being hilarious and the epic track keeps me watching.

psycho pass... duckroll will hype, but don't listen to his lies!

Well it's aight.

 

[wonzo]

Magi 17

Wow, this was actually a pretty good episode outside of the fairly poor use of music. It also answered the question of where the budget for 16 went as this episode had some fantastic animation, especially the fight with

Spoiler

Sinbad & Co and the Weapon Dealer.

I figured they weren't gonna animate it considering the changes they made to the whole Ithnan/Banker/Weapons Dealer dynamic but they sure did prove me wrong! Hopefully now they don't screw up the Sindria arc and end this show on a good note.

 

[chickdigger802]

Dokidoki Precure 2

you know, super hero identity never really been an issue in other shows cuz memory wipe or other friends become precure like that eps.

Henshin music is probably the weakest for a while. I do love Heart's hair, it got a nice boing. <3

I do love how they finally got straight to the point now its just a fucking love death beam.

Oh, and the

But what the fuck at that ED?

The music definitely is forgettable.
I can remember about 5 or 6 themes right away but I cant even remember what dokidoki music is like and I listened to it just a little while ago

That would be irresponsible!

It works , the music is nice and the poses are DTL quality.

Savour it for now.

 

[cajunator]

All precure main transformation music up to Suite. this stuff is on a higher plane of existence than the new music.

No way! Where's my ED of maidens? ;_;

 

[Articalys]

Speaking of Precure music, I didn't know Smile had character songs -- and Yayoi's sounds like a Toku theme, as expected.
Also, if you click through to Akane's, it turns out Asami Tano has a really good singing voice.

 

[Mature]

Kemonozume - 2 "A Hard Farewell"

Well, not only did it hold the momentum, but it ramped it up a bit. I figured the story would end up being a sort of bit by bit progression of almost a monster of the week, but nope. Instead,

Spoiler

the master of the style died abruptly, the whole family found out about MC's girlfriend being a flesh eater, and they escaped onto a train to who knows where.

This is definitely how a 12 episode series should be handled. Don't waste any time, but don't throw dramatic pacing out the door because of it.

The air of this episode was especially electric. Each scene seems to offer something completely unique, whether it be in direction or location. Because of this, a certain atmosphere is attained— the world seems more like ours, despite how absurd the subject matter tends to be.

It's kind of exciting to have really no idea where this is going next.

It really doesn't lend well to long form watching because of how the episodes are paced. I think this show is a bit egregious about it at times though.

That's not cute enough for Yayoi.

She sounds like Madoka Yonezawa (Ui), so I like it.

Here is a picture of Harry Ord in light of shit going down on this episode and posting anything else being unwise

OH MY GOD. Plenty of foreshadowing for it so not exactly surprising but they went there.

Spoiler

RIP Borjano riding dude, shame the hippies didn't die too. Hate those pieces of shit even more now. Loran should have kicked their ass long ago.

I also liked this shot. Hype for the aftermath of this.
