But K-on is barely funny at all (something some people defend by saying it's not a comedy), while Azumanga is one of the funniest comedy animes ever... odd pair there.Zenith said:

To be fair, Nichijou is way funnier than K-On.jman2050 said:

Did... did I just accidently watch Utena?
Perfect show to come into after Hana Yori Dango dat melodrama over throwing an umbrella, had me lol'ing. I seem to have developd a thirst for the overly dramatic now. :|

I'll have you know it took me a bloody long time to develop that stupid moon social link, with the manager.

Interesting failure there from a direction standpoint. Clearly the director wanted to make that brief piece of slapping more 'exciting' by cutting quickly between the two characters. However, with a physical action like a slap they should really be concerned with creating weighty movements that the audience feels. It should have some real noticeable impact.Dresden said:
While hardly the perfect example, at least their motions have weight and you can see some consequences from their hits. Hanasaku Iroha had a pretty great example of this early on. Using a different technique, Oniisama e... has quite a number of slaps throughout the show but rather then animating them they make them weighty they use stills so that it lingers.
Like this:
Feels more like they're dodging the slaps to me.Jexhius said:Interesting failure there from a direction standpoint.

Yep. IIRC she is from another batch of Misaka clones who are physically older than the original and i think their Esper level is higher than the first clones too.
that must suck having so many clones of yourself out there...

That's a good suggestion, unless he's seen it. Excel Saga is also an obvious must watch. For more recent stuff, definitely try Nichijou. It seems to be a love or hate thing, but people who liked it (like me) found it really funny.cajunator said:

[Penguin Drum 17]
Theres already plenty of discussion about the plot events in this weeks episode, which is to be expected. I dont think that I have anything to add to that discussion beyond comments that Ive already made in passing. In short, I believe that the show is clearly going somewhere specific and that character motivations are not just being crafted on the fly.
Strangely, I still have no clue about how Id go about explaining this show to another human being without actually reciting specific elements in detail. I mean, what genre is it? What kind of tone does it have? What kind of audience is it suitable for? Most of the traditional labels, crude as they are, seem ill fitting. I suppose its a lot like Revolutionary Girl Utena in that particular aspect. You dont really know what youre getting, and even when youve got it you have no idea what it is. This helps to make it feel a bit special, even though the quality has been inconsistent.
This episode, for example, is not nearly as exciting or enchanting as last weeks outing. Which is fine, because this week was definitely about building up tension for an upcoming something. I suppose you could claim that nothing happened in this episode, but that would be short-changing a successful build-up of tension. I think theres been times in this shows narrative when weve just arrived at a point, so Im happy to see them taking the time to set it up before hand.
As for the direction, 7th and Duckroll have already pointed out that its nothing spectacular, but its certainly serviceable and therefore far superior to certain other episodes. Still, its worth talking about a handful of images.
As you can see, this shot isnt particularly subtle. Not only are these two characters extremely distant from each other in the frame, s
That shot is especially interesting when you compare it to this one (spoilers): http://i835.photobucket.com/albums/zz278/Jexhius/penguin17sunkids.jpg
Finally I just want to highlight this shot:
Only because it looks really nice, like something out of a Patlabor movie.

uggesting a great distance between these two characters who are supposedly a very happy couple. Not only is there distance between them, theres a wall set up between them, suggesting that they are on two different sides of some agenda. Its certainly not surprising that in this scene we see Tabuki apparently lie directly to Yuri, masking his intentions.
That shot is especially interesting when you compare it to this one (spoilers): http://i835.photobucket.com/albums/zz278/Jexhius/penguin17sunkids.jpg
The positions of Yuri and Tabuki are repeated here, with the distance between them only being bridged by Momoka herself. This suggests that shes the one who links them together, rather than mutual feelings of interest or love. Also note how warm and pleasant the colours are in this flashback shot. Their time with Momoka as children was clearly an enjoyable, special time. When we look at the dark, cold colours of their home we see that to some extent this warmth has been taken from their lives.

Like IJ said, they're another batch of Misaka clones. Unlike the sisters and Last Order, they are apparently psychotic bitches and villainous.

But I just couldn't believe you after how good the post season 1 mini-series was! S2 reeked of destruction by committee. Every bad anime trope was in there, they jacked it up to full on paedophilia and random nudity, they even gave that stupid girl a transformation sequence ffs like it was Power Rangers. And less said about random transexual dad the better.
The only good bit in the entire season was the airport segment after Li gets his normal haircut and dark reaper appearance on.
But he was part of quite possibly the worst anime scene ever.Zenith said:
