It's like to eat a Squid after an episode of Squid Girl.
Penguin Drum Ep14
Errr.... not a very good episode. I didn't like the direction, nor the err... developments. It says a lot when the best thing from the entire episode for me, was seeing how stylized the CG car in the episode was. That was really weird. I dunno... I think I need to go ly down.

Some more news on the second season of Amagami SS.
- name for the second season will be "Amagami SS+ plus"
- airing in January 2012
- each of the six heroines will be featured in a two-episode chapter in an omnibus format
- all anime-original content (I think)

Watch Amagami for Sexhair, stay for the rest.
It's really a bunch of OVA's tied together rather than an actual series. Definitely best to watch it by arcs rather than by any kind of episode count.

Ep.01
I love a good detective mystery and the premise has a lot of potential, but wow that was poorly done. If you are going to do a mystery show, you need good cases for you detective character to solve, not ones that take 3 seconds to figure out. The viewer wants to follow the mystery, not be 15 steps ahead of our protagonist.
If the cases are going to be like this perpetually I'll probably drop it. But the idea behind it seems solid, even the
elements that they haven't explained yet.

So is episodic then? Anyway, I like the characters, and Aki Toyosaki sounds like she's having fun with her role. Will stick around to see what's next.
Opening and ending songs are ace as well. Thought I recognized the former, and it turned out to be from the same band that did [C]'s ending song.
e: Damn, I have 13 shows on my "watching" list. Probably gonna wind up cutting out Horizon and Tomodachi though.

Guilty Crown Episode 1 Redux
I watched it again. It's even better the second time. Knowing what to expect, and knowing the various beats of the episode makes it even more enjoyable. The direction is definitely super entertaining, and I love how things just HAPPEN. There's no time wastage, no filler, it's just THIS IS WHAT THE SHOW IS ABOUT and IN YOUR FACE (and IN YOUR EARS). So good. Can't wait for ep2.

Pretty fun so far! The galge portion of the second portion of episode 2 made me laugh so hard all the way through.

That was an amazing episode, pure comedy through and through. Lost of great skits, including

-- actually, that entire segment was one of the most ridiculous things I've seen in a while. Not much for the plot (preview seems to show it'll be back next week), but everyone in the cast got their moment though some did have more screentime than others. If you still have any interest in this series you really need to see this episode.
Also, there were a ton of clumsy Haruka moments (one of which actually happened to Eriko Nakamura and Asami Imai, apparently) if you're into that sort of thing, along with a few more Miki "honey" references.
e: Holy shit. Apparently the aforementioned

Um, that's such a fundamental thing in, you know, film form, that the fact that he can't do it yet bodes very poorly for his future.Marrshu said:Persona 4 would be a whole lot fucking better if the director learned how to transition scenes. The actual scenes aren't bad, but it just isn't coherent at all.

Oh wow, 3 volumes? Fuck that. I'm out. I thought they learned their lesson with the Baccano set.darkside31337 said:
Persona 4: The animation 1+2: I feel like I should be holding a ps2 controller in my hands while watching this show. It really is the game in anime form. Didn't have too much problem with the art quality and the second episode didn't seem much worse than the first despite that whole twitter thing. The weakest thing about the show is the transitions. It feels too stitched together. They cut a lot of the fat out of the intro/tutorial part of the game but the pacing is janky with out good transitions.
On the music, while it's kind of cool that they got Meguro, I feel like some of the game tracks could of been reworked/remixed to fit the anime more. At least the scene with
. The music and visuals didn't mesh that well together (although this is perhaps more on the part of the visuals). I guess this is bound to happen given how straight this adaptation has been thus far.
The scene with
was pretty amusing but I hope the other scenes for the other characters is a done up a little better.
Chie is still the best thing. Dat Horie. While JP Kuma started off unbearable but after a couple episodes it's not too bad. Kind of missing some of that English VA.
Random bits:
-I like how the mid episode eyecatches show Yuu's stats increasing.
-The OP song is pretty nice.
-It would of been cooler if while Izanagi was beating up shadows, Yuu was just unbuttoning his shirt like a boss as someone I know put it.
Yeah if you liked the game you'll probably enjoy this. It could be better though regardless.
