Fate zero ep2(worst first episode ever)
It's absolutely ridiculous at how much the first ep sucks compared to the second, the one hour of suffering is starting to pay off with this episode.
Finally some likable characters are introduce like the king(who has blackbeards va from op) and the awesome bluebeard.
Good episode the story telling is still bad but who cares.

Jexhius said:It's not. It's babies first cyberpunk, filled with lots of trashy stupid shit. Case in point:
But if you really need to see a movie where the main character is naked like, 15% of the time, this is it.
So, like, if I didn't care for Ninja Scroll I probably shouldn't bother with this?

Horizon 2
Tori is quite the character and I think that classroom scene will always be the most memorable in the anime. The teacher is intriguing too.
Baccano 6 - Some of the moments are just plain creepy, the assassin women and the two thieves are cool. The boy with the scar (Jacuzzi) is starting to become a favorite.
Kore wa Zombie 6 - Episode 5 and 6 were amazing. I like Ayumu's visions of Eu and the action was intense.
Tiger & Bunny 6 - Finally some true antagonist is involved. I wish there wasnt a time limit on them using their powers though, it doesnt really make sense.
Hidan no Aria 11/12 - Great conclusion. Nichijou 6 Finally a skit to make me laugh, the one with them camping and cooking was so hilarious.

Yeah I'm not going to even bother. Too much information in too little time. Not sure how many seasons this show is getting but there's too much to process. Doesn't help that the character designs are god awful. I chuckled at parts but it's not enough.
Rule of 2 Applied: Series Dropped

Well, the second episode clarifies a lot of the convolution so I think a lot of the "THIS IS TOO CONFUSING!" is a little hyperbolic. But, then again, I did do the walls of text on the subject so I probably just get it a lot better than casual viewing would do.
Like I said, Episode 2 needed something to happen to keep some people watching; it hints at things starting up, but that's mostly in the next episode preview and not the episode itself. We're still gathering info and sitting through History class, as it were.

The whole show is genius, of an unexpected level. I mean, it should be impossible frame the action or character in a really bad way, because unlike live action, you chose exactly what will be in the frame. It's all from scratch. Which is why it's really impressive when you see bad framing in a show, that's real talent.icarus-daedelus said:

Chihayafuru 2 - Sparking shoujo and boring card games
Chiha's sister knows what's up.
Karuta is a dull, dull card based around memorisation and poetry. Not even Oniisama-esque scheming can turn it into a good game, but all credit must go to the director/storyboarders for actually making the 'match' it as exciting as it possibly could be.
I'm really enjoying the character interaction and dynamic thus far, although how well it will translate into the 'present' remains to be seen. What they've mainly carried over from the first episode is the aesthetics, excellent framing and smooth editing. It's really nice to see this level of polish in any show, especially one of this nature.

That's quite a marathon you have going there.Hitokage said:Monster 3-17
Being a surgeon is suffering. So is being a viewer in search of a stopping point.
It's kinda funny how at this point both Nina and Tenma are trying to kill Johan in part so the other doesn't have to.
At certain points the show will pretty clearly tell you when to get off the train.
I actually felt like the episodes in the teens were a bit weaker than the rest of the show, comparatively. I think episodes 20+ are more exciting. That could just be me, though.Hitokage said:Monster 3-17

I see we've tumbled a few pages back. That's not a bad thing though, I guess it just goes to show how little there is to talk about with regards to the currently airing shows.
[Anne of Green Gables 23]
Wow, this episode was clearly done on the cheap, in terms of the animation. While all the character designs, backaground art and so forth looked fine (although not quite as good as usual) the actual animation was really bad at times, with characters shuddering across the screen with very few in-between frames. It was fairly distracting whenever it happened, but luckily it only made up half of the episode.

Most ridiculous team rocket landing ever.
Why isn't this series more known? It's hilarious.

You know, the problem here is not so much that shit is hard to follow but rather that I don't care to follow it. At all.
The show can throw all the convoluted worldbuilding and backstory at me that it wants but it really serves little purpose as far as I'm concerned since I'll just shrug it off and demand more of Smugdouche's silly antics instead, which have been the highlight by far.

Very enjoyable.
I'm interested in seeing how everything ties in and what happens to the characters as they grow up. A definite keeper for now.
Utena 13
Dat recap. Next episodes seems to be
judging by the preview.
Cant wait!
Indeed.
Hopefully Karuta just acts as the initial catalyst in the show and eventually it takes a back seat.

Can't have us forgetting this is a harem anime. Lacked the same level of tact honestly like the previous episode with the exception of one scene. Then again, with how this episode turned out, I'm not really bothered about it as much as I was before since then I wouldn't have to expect any differently of this series. Standard harem hijinks of course.

Boxing is really a barbaric sport when you actually think about it.
Shounen haato activated. So powerful it allows you to actually break the laws of biology.
Not your fault kid, you're just not the main character.

I'm glad they didn't actually make Ippo win, that would have been too lame.

This show will be like Friday Night Lights. Chihaya is Matt Seracen and Kurata is just a metaphor for relationship angst and small town Japan.Steroyd said:
