I'm not saying I don't understand the story. I'm saying I don't understand how a human being who is supposed to be depicted in a reasonably realistic way would act like that. It's just too drastic and unnatural for me to buy into any of it. Seems like bad drama writing. Therefore I am unable to relate with the premise the show is trying to make dramatic.

The story is the most obtuse thing I've ever watched, but the animation style and music are pretty much the best I've ever seen in animation period. And the story is pretty funny too. Its the first anime other than berserk where I actually really dig the english voice acting. All the main characters are voiced pretty damn well and stay true to the source material, except for the extras.

I don't think the shows writing can really match the tone and mode they're going for here. It sadly does not work for me.
Even dropping in 'serious business' title cards isn't the solution. There isn't a shortcut for engaging writing.

Psychological stress took away something that she cherised the most, granted the catalyst to create the situation was a bit of a stretch, but I thought Chihaya didn't act too artificially given the situation.
I'd probably walk outside in a daze for a while if the internet was suddenly taken away from me.

Wait did you think the show wanted you to take it seriously?Lain said:

If you care about the story at all (and really, the details of the plot are less important than the growth of the characters), it makes more sense on a second watch, and the rich animation means you'll catch little details and jokes that might have blown past you the first time around. No matter how many times I've gone back to it, it always makes me smile.
Great dub, too.
Honestly, FLCL is still the anime I love the most, and I can't imagine that ever changing. I haven't found anything else with that level of quality that's willing to be so unabashedly chaotic.

I thought the scene came out awkward or odd, I guess since it was so unexpected and other fanservicey anime would have made it more polished, I couldnt help but chuckle.

Hah, MC is so funny in this.

Mod abuse: This post has spoilers for The Prestige, and is poorly marked.
Drastic and unbelievable, bad drama writing would have been something like

Sekaiichi Hatsukoi 2 episode 7
Im so glad that Ritsu fiance plot is coming to a close. I thought it was a good episode, as usual, I guess Im just a fan of Ritsu and Takano and the way Takano forced himself swiftly into Ritsus house, ah.

Do I have to think the show wanted me to take it seriously, to start finding that the level of stupid of the show stops being fun/funny and begins being offensive in certain parts of its episodes?
The Monarch business was grating to me. Lots of idiocy that wasn't all that fun.
The things retired wolf said before the fight started, as she left, were stupid and not fun for me.
That's the kind of stuff that ruins my enjoyment of a show based around a silly premise and a cast of idiots doing senseless activities and what makes a fun kind of idiocy become an offensive kind of idiocy.

is pretty awesome but not in the same league as Yamada. Katanashi getting all jelly is adorable. Great episode which has been par for the course for this series, next week looks to be a fun episode, Yamada was in the preview so it better be a Yamada heavy episode!

Some continuity issues with people magically jumping from inside the building to outside, but otherwise a good episode dealing with the post-Cold War malaise of East Germany as well as one man's journey to stop blaming himself for being a small part of the old system.

I was going to ask how an board can ever be considered moe, then I realized that this was the anime thread where it's only a short leap of logic away from moe cockroaches and squids.

The Schaft arc was pretty awesome, nice Labor action and the Kanuka/Grandmother background story was well implemented.
just 36 episodes, 16 OVA episodes and two movies for me :/

Sorry, NeoGAF downtime called for some desperate measures for being able to talk about anime without actually have to watch it.
Yay, now ABF and Macodin can multiquote with efficiency,
Now that it's easier, the posts will get even longer!
Fate/Zero Ep8
I'm so glad the human battles are just as exciting and entertaining to watch as the Servant fights. Some great action animation too. One thing that's pretty noticeable in the episode is the inconsistency in character art in the Kiritsugu/Kayneth scenes. It was probably the animation director for ep6 and ep7 handling that segment, since it looked pretty similar to the parts of those episodes when character faces looked "off". Overall I felt this was a really good climax to the current arc. It also revealed certain specifics about the capabilities of the various characters, which should have consequences in the next set of confrontations.
An interesting note in the credits... there's something I have never seen before there. In addition to a storyboard credit, this episode also has a credit for "storyboard clean-up" credited to three people. Considering how storyboards tend to be rough art anyway, I wonder why they would need additional people to actually clean up the storyboards. Anyone have any idea about this?
I hope we get a few "slow" episodes of the series after this. It definitely feels like it needs some down time from the action after the events of this episode. I want more dudes sitting around talking to each other in the next few eps! Plz ufotable! ^_^

Out of curiosity, is there a "NeoGAF-tan" that AnimeGAF has determined? It seems like something we'd do...
Oh boy here we go again.
