Bad ep. Poorly paced, predictable, drawn out, uninteresting dialogue and conversation. Didn't enjoy it at all. But Chihaya, you go girl! :D

Yeah! Good job, Dresden! And it surprised me a little the presence of certain banner (made by Halycon) with an image from a certain Producer from another certain THE IDOLM@STER 'dōjin'.
It also surprised me nobody mentioned it!

Final episode was a culmination of everything that made this show good. However, I'm left wanting more. They invented some interesting characters, and it would of been nice to see them interacting more.
Glad to see Narumi act human for once, his rage at Toshi is something I can identify with easily. They weren't clear on how/why the drug inventor died, nor did they elaborate on his "experiment".
I'm not sure ending the show with this arc, instead of following the LN was the wisest decision, but it certainly left a lasting impression of the show.

Overall, a decent show with some fun characters. Again I lament the lack of translated light novels in the U.S., as I would have liked to see where the story goes in the future.

I two, would like to see what happens after this. Hopefully the publicity the anime and manga are getting it will encourage translations(fan or otherwise).

Penguin Drum ep11

Dunno what happened here, but that was a weird ep which felt pretty out of place. The continuity from ep10 wasn't handled very well, and the actual events were just kinda... odd.
The direction that the Ringo plot is heading in just confirms that the episodes just before ep9 were padding and a waste of time. That story line is really the weakest point of the series so far, it's unfortunate they're spending so much time on it. :/

Darn its, over.
Predictable ending and song choice, however the concert was fun, though I wont lie, I did think it was sad when Haruka starting crying at granmas
. Ittoki and Syo were my favorite overall throughout the anime, even if Syo got flustered too easily.

That leaves me with just Blue Exorcist as the only anime of the past season left to finish.

Yeah, I'm more worried about this than the censorship, at least until the Chimera Ant arc, then the show is fucked.

The creepy factor is the main reason that character works.

I hope they don't touch him or if not they don't take away all of his creepy factor.

Plus can't wait to see the Ant's using Super Soakers :p

I wouldn't say that right now, but depending on where the show goes from here, I may later on.

Wait wait wait, HxH is gonna be a 'remake'?
I thought they were gonna continue from where they left off?
Oh well this could benefit from less dragging since IIRC, the first anime was slow during it's first 20 eps.
If anything, they may be able to reach the Greed Island arc by the end of the year/start of next year?

I think it's interesting that they went from, what some have argued, was not enough progression all the way around to rushing scenes. Which is something I mentioned here http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost...&postcount=250 , although it was probably lost at the bottom of the page.
Click to expand...
I didn't see that post (and I even quoted one you made after, I'll blame you guys for posting so many in so little time) but now that I see it I agree completely.
Let see how future episodes are presented, but nonetheless I think it was something punctual of this episode alone, maybe to dispose rapidly of the Ringo and Tabuki matters for the moment and make the spectator more centered in the future revelations and possible connections between Ringo and Kanba, Shōma & Himari...

Hey, people! Remember those questions and subsequent conversations about the avatars tiff and Lain sometimes show up with? Good times!

It's Gonzo, they haven't made a great show in 5 years.

I just hope this isn't a trend and they decide to ruin Kaleido Star :(

I'm not going to lie, you know... I'm interested in its art expressiveness and subtle social commentary, that 'dōjin' is a form of art in itself, something to think about... something... beautiful!

With Togashi's track record, they might want to try to stretch it out a bit. If the guy goes on hiatus even once, the show will be in danger.

It didn't help that the director/storyboarder wasn't that great, even if the Penguins were awesome.

Hmm I see what you mean, at least it'll let those that missed out on it get to experience it with hopefully a faster paced progression.
I only hope the action is good.
Wonder if they'll change Hisoka's voice, lol.
Fun fact: In the Arabic dub of HxH, Hisoka's voice was muuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuch more badass and menacing, he was given a cold voice.

Actually, the scene with
the farting penguin
was the first time I felt the penguin antics detracted from the quality of the scene.

The penguin antics work because they correlate with what's happening with the main cast. They are a bit like the Shadow Girls from Utena. That's why that scene in episode 11 feels tacky.

Penguin antics are usually finely tuned to amuse the audience with something crazy in the background, or even the foreground, and not actually interject too heavily over the actual characters.

I don't know why they decided to break away from that format, because it didn't work.

Yeah, I mean,
Shouma telling Ringo that she was Ringo and not anyone else was an important character moment and penguin farting just deflated the emotions of that moment. It should have been more moving than it ended up being.

Well, that was a thing. I'm not sure I'd call it good. Someone needs to tone down the strobe light effects. Also, the spoiler is that
it's paid anti-smoking propaganda.
Click to expand...

Lol, super easy to spoil isn't it? Though, I did feel as if the theme dealt with more than being
anti-smoking
alone. It seemed to cover the larger aspects of
influence in general--the sense of being explicit/cool etc... etc...
--and I'd say it was done well, given the amount of time they had to coherently convey the message. I'd say that it was good myself.

Besides, that OST. Danger <3

Which, ultimately, is a big problem for a lot of people. If the audience isn't emotionally invested in the characters then they won't care about their fates and they'll feel detached from the work as a whole, like an Oshii movie.

Well, one big problem was that the "gameplay" sucked and was completely unnecessary. The other was the annoying strobing effect literally hurting my eyes.

And I don't care much for
unnuanced propaganda.

Shouma is being sincere though. D: Too much cynicism here.

Yeah! You see Ringo's still expression, when she probably thinks those moments with Sh&#333;ma and their antics were like a forced excuse, and then that dramatic instance is interfered by farting sounds and all that, I really think it lessened the impact it gives, for sure.

It even shows the importance of the good-old traditional methods, used through generations, to nurture healthy home grown vegetables. This 'd&#333;jin' really has it all!

The aunt in Ro Kyu Bu is only about 7 years older than Subaru though. She's not going to be a 40 year old MILF. She is more older sister than aunt.
