Well at least there is a bit more strategy to this game now, albeit not much. Good stuff though, hopefully when they switch back to the teens the show keeps up this level of quality.

Maon is best girl. Such a feel good show.

These 2 shows have been pretty nice surprises this season along with a few others, and have helped make this season seem not as bad as I thought it would be.

 

[firehawk12]

But this is the same director who directed a Gundam movie where

Spoiler

the new main Gundam unit, after being hyped up in the presentation as the ultimate weapon, shows up at the end to do nothing other than teleport the main character to have a chat with ET.

I honestly have no idea what that means or what to make of that!

This show is pretty good. This episode felt a little rushed but I guess they had to do it to get to the meat of the story in highschool. I hope it can keep up its quality once they grow up.

Guilty Crown 2

rip noitamina

This movie is pretty awesome!
What did you think of the ending and its max fabulosity?

Incredibly bizarre and symbolic in an incredibly stylish and fabulous~ way. Definitely one hell of a way to end a movie.

 

[X-Frame]

Anyone know the name of the song playing at the end of Guilty Crown - Episode 1 during the guy's transformation?

So far, the Madhouse casualty rate in Guilty Crown is about 4 dudes so far.

Director: Tetsuro Araki (Death Note, HSotD)
Co-Director: Hiroyuki Tanaka (Claymore, Hellsing Ultimate)

We've also heard about various other people who have left or are leaving. RIP Madhouse!

Speaking strictly out of my ass, Guilty Crown sure feels like a Madhouse production. I'd have guessed Madhouse instead of Production I.G. if I had seen it with no info coming in.

Define classy. Even if Persona 4 anime didn't suck I would hardly call it classy.

Fate/Zero rocks so hard even the ED single cover art rocks

It really is the best show this season. Great cover art there.

Oh, by classy I meant something similar to Utena's style or simply classy. I mentioned Persona solely because I want to replace its time slot. Sorry about my atrocious english

Check out Bartender.

This is a good suggestion. Thanks!

Un-Go 2

Otaku technology has really come a long way, hasn't it? Nice to see we get an actual murder mistery this time, even if it wasn't all that interesting.

Shota Inga is a love or hate kind of character and I, for one, find him rather insufferable at times.

 

[Krev]

Man, Persona 4 is pretty bad. :/

Yeah...

Persona 4 - 03
The art and animation in this are so horrible.
Music is never used appropriately, the same goes for sound effects, and the 'emotional' confrontations with the shadow selves are laughable.
This episode has some hysterical derp faces that remove any possibility of taking anything seriously.
I have no idea why I'm still bothering with this show.


I haven't subjected myself to Guilty Crown yet, but from the comments in here I'm getting that it's a otaku baiting mecha and fanservice show. Why the hell is it on Noitamina then? And on that note, why are they going to show Black Rock Shooter? What's going on?

Guilty Crown is glorious. Ignore the haters.

Granted, it would have worked in the Geass timeslot better than Noitamina but whatever. Just wait for Spring Noitamina I guess.

Guilty Crown 2

This show is the very definition of trashy, overproduced animu and I am completely fine with that. It's gratuitous and cliché-ridden but more importantly, it's fun.

This is what people have trouble grasping. Even in live action, there are summer blockbusters and there are Oscar-bait movies.

GC doesn't have anywhere near enough explosions to be comparable to a Michael Bay movie. I'm hoping subsequent episodes remedy this fatal flaw.

I actually am ambivalent about Michael Bay movies but I recognize that sometimes you just want to watch explosions and cheesy love stories.

At least the fanservice ratio seems to be equivalent.

Un-Go 2
Better than the first, but that's to be expected. If this is an 11 episode series and we've spent 2 of them on half-baked mysteries with very subtle character development, I don't think this is going anywhere. Or at least anywhere interesting. I think I'll let next week decide if I continue on or replace it with more Detective Conan, the superior detective drama. =]

MAN that ED is slick. Okay, i'll keep watching.

I asked in here if any of all existed beyond Conan when I was watching the first season of that (which reminds me I need to get back to that sometime), and the only answer I got was Spiral, which, well...

6XX episodes, about a dozen OVAs and 15 movies, but still worth it!

This is true. I mean, but take a summer movie that was well received like 300. The story makes no sense whatsoever and the characters are all morons. What made it great was that it did its pandering really well. It remains to be seen if Guilty Crown will but its been entertaining so far. Sometimes you need to shut your brain down and enjoy, man
