I like Waltz of the Flowers as much as anyone else, but the whole "classical music set to an action scene with no tension" is a tired convention I could do without.

Lets keep it focused in here people. If we're talking about Zelda I'm afraid we can only talk about animated Zelda and all that entails:

Chihaya 9: I can't believe Taichi was about to do what he did at the end. He really sucks!

Well, that was certainly... an episode. I'm just going to leave it at that.
I can't tell which game you're talking about

Lol. Branduil, your monocle card is showing. I say Skyrim has none of that but Bethseda's janky animation, no contest, but to the point it's come in Skyrim, vs say Oblivion, Skywards animation, during the game, isn't much, if at all, better. Let's not get ahead of ourselves.
Skyrim's art is a clear improvement over Oblivion, but that's only saying so much. 99% of characters are still ugly and unmemorable, and the environments are pretty bland.
Gameplay-wise you can prefer either game, but there's not really any question that Zelda has a much more coherent and better realized visual look, regardless of the technical gap.

THE CAKE IS A LIE. AMIRITE?!
Really, it's a matter of preference in everything, and in this case, even more so since their art directions aren't all that comparable. Cartoonish character designs + watercolor filter to, ultimately hide the aging hardware's shortcomings and, give the illusion of draw distance doesn't at all mean that Skyward has an inherent quality to it that Skyrim lacks, just because it's art goes against your particular taste, and has more in line with the 'western' aesthetics of The Witcher, or even Dragon Age. Those being the closest parallels that I can think of.
And to clarify my whole stance on the matter, since I kind of jumped into the whole ordeal, I love Skyward's art, but even still, personally find what Bethseda was able to manage--a huge, beautiful, artistically coherent, open space--in Skyrim to be much more impressive.

Taichi is owning himself, really. I mean, they're making him out to be such an asshole that all the guys on the show seem to be better than him.
Of course, I'm sure he'll have an emo blowup with his mom and then suddenly he'll be appealing again.

too late and wait, the next episode will be epic.

Asks questions so Ezalc doesn't have to
It doesn't have anything to do with westerns aesthetics versus eastern ones. Games like The Witcher and Portal 2 look great with great art direction. Skyrim just isn't on the same level, for a number of reasons.
Also, Gainax sucks a whole lot.

iDOLM@STER 21: I like the subtle adjustment to the OP animation during the Chihaya part. ^^; The episode is mostly about the fallout between Kuroi and Jupiter, which I'm not putting behind spoiler tags because really, they've been building up to this for a while now. What DID surprise me was when
Overall, not particularly exciting, but cute and nice all the same. ^_^
the 765 president takes Producer and all the idols to a piano bar, where once seated and the previously playing song ends, the lights dim, and out walks Otonashi-san in a nice little classy dress and sings beautifully! Apparently she wanted to be an idol at one point but then just decided she had other things she preferred to do. She still loves singing though, thus the bar gig.

I read something a few months ago... that in Japanese internet parlance, there's a new word (Mamiru or "to Mami") which is defined as (Madoka ep 3 spoilers)
to die in horrible ways
I got a kick out of that.
Next you're going to be telling people here it's wrong to like a girl just because her legs don't function.

The hell is wrong with Yukiteru? "Worst day ever" my ass.
I really wish they'd lay off the eye thing already. I've no problem with body parts flying every which way but anything to do with eyes grosses me out for some reason and the effect is only amplified when dealing with gigantic animu eyes.
Soon you'll start to get bored by just cute and you'll need your waifus to be broken in some way or another. Or so I'm told.

Woah I just learned Hyadain did the OPs for Nichijou. So the female voices in the song are probably just him using voice editing software.

Considering there are internet memes that are years old that still get thrown around, maybe quite a while.

The head is a lie!
Actually, that episode has a rare valid use of "the cake is a lie" since Madoka was going to wish for cake with Mami before that happened.

maybe another version of NTR like someone ate the last pudding or something like this ... poor Rihoko that's cruel
Well I caught up with Working!!@#$%^&*][><| and I have to agree that Souma and Yamada are my favorite characters. Though Sato is pretty cool as well. As for the others, I already don't like Yukiho in Im@s so that hasn't changed, the main guy is basically Japan in a nutshell, the boss is boring but hot, the chief is also kind of dull but still hot, Popura is funny because I have a friend who I'm sure I'd treat the exact same way if we worked together too bad she's on another continent. I really enjoy the show's art and animation it looks really good a lot of the times, and as for the humor there have been times where I actually laughed at some of the happenings instead of the usual chuckle or whatever. I guess I'll continue to follow this. I heard season 1 wasn't as good as this one, should I check it out or is it better not to bother?

I'm sure Rihoko will get her just desserts in Amagami SS+. RIP Pudding

Persona 4: The Animation episode 8
The only reason I watched this one is because the camping trip was one of my favorite parts of the game. It was actually pretty good and Charlie being a jerk never gets old. One thing that took me by surprise was Kanji's VA since I found out I vastly prefer his english voice over this one. That very rarely happens.
Another thing that was cemented for me by this episode was that, as also evidenced by Seto no Hanayome and very select parts of Angel Beats, Seiji Kishi's strengths are solely confined to the realm of the silly and comedical. It's whenever he tries to stray even slightly from this that things invariably take a turn for the worse. It was also impossible not to notice that this episode had much cleaner and smoother animation than all the previous episodes I watched. I can only hope they can at least keep this level of polish going forward.
I wouldn't bother if I were you.
