I don't see how we have sufficient information to make that judgment though.
The camping trip is apparently something all the kids do, so we can assume that the adults aren't particularly worried about the kids coming across an evil Minoshiro. There are several easily deducible reasons for this:
-They may not be particularly common.
-The evil Minoshiro have a very powerful defense system. The only reason the kids were able to thwart it is Saki's sunglasses.
-Even then they still had to go out of their way to capture it and threaten it with bodily harm.
It may not be particularly likely that they would meet the evil Minoshiro, but it doesn't need to be likely, just plausible

While I don't defend the action of explaining things on a show's website, the From the New World site gives a bit more detail on
summer camps
concerns I don't really share, personally, given how "hands off" the parenting and teaching appears to be a lot of the time
gives at least some reason for the trip taking place.
My opinion isn't a particularly critical one as I am utterly absorbed by everything that happens in this show and so don't really notice flaws in it!
Summer Camp
The biggest thing that happens at Sage Academy. Groups board canoes and paddle up the Tone River to pitch camp.
The seven day programme for the trip is organised by the class's teacher so that the students are not all away at the same time.
It's not just a trip for fun, but more like "field training"; each group of students has to give a presentation on a chosen theme after they return.

I wasn't talking about the immediate circumstances regarding the capture such as the whole bit about avoiding the hypnosis. That's fine. I was referring more to the nature of the trip which we aren't given any insight to. As for as I can tell, there isn't any reference to other kids doing a similar camping trip or the initial intentions of the trip other than to goof around(them deciding to look into the stuff like the minoshiro came later at the campfire). There isn't any parental supervision around on a multi-day trip in the wilderness for a bunch of kids. Even assuming the parents weren't expecting the kids to run into a minoshiro, it's a bit ridiculous to just let kids, around the age of 12, roam around especially when prior episodes show how restricting this culture is. The lack of parental supervision being necessary in order to do the scene with the minoshiro. What's weird is that the way the author did it seems unnecessary as the kids could have just gotten separated from their chaperone and ran into the minoshiro. Instead we have this random event that is needed for a certain plot point.
Edit:Apparently I'm wrong about the other students bit. Episode 2 stated that all the students would be doing it.
Yea that definitely needed to be mentioned somewhere in the episode itself. Mainly the bit about the field training as it would explain the lack of parental supervision, the rest of the stuff was in 2.
Robotics Notes 1
Not particularly amazing, but it is certainly a big step up from the opening episodes to previous 5pb adaptions. It's a pretty slow opening episode though, not a whole lot going on as we are introduced to the characters and so on, but I found it to be pretty enjoyable none the less.

There's something slightly disturbing about the kids. For one thing,
they don't seem to care that one of their group members just disappeared

Just from the first episode alone, it's like totally different. I still expect it to have heart though, as it seems to be going that way. I think i'm on for the ride though for sure. It's fun.
yes... Yes.... YESSSSS
Give into your sin. INDULGE YOURSELF.
Sorry to disappoint all my fellow Brits who are going to see Wolf Children today but it looks like it was not meant to be for me. After a terrible nights sleep I've just gotten up (well not quite just now, but it was very late). I would have needed to already be out of the house to get to the cinema on time and since I'm typing this message it's clear I haven't. Also I never leave home on an empty stomach.
Well it does mean the final part of School Days can be viewed earlier. Oh goody(!)

You've made the right decision.
This was quite clearly the reason. It is your fated destiny to see episode 12.

A BGBW-less screening is a poor screening
just picked up my ticket. The Hosodapocalypse is nigh!Every cloud etc.?
Yes, although in this case it's a mushroom cloud!
It's more fleshing out what the world is first through the technology, a minor amount of pop culture (which also ties into the character problems/wants/needs), and characters and their relationships between each other.
It dabs lightly into each of these elements, but it does make sure to show all of them. There's nothing as heavy as what happened in the first ep. of S;G though.

I apologise, for deluding myself into thinking people couldn't get more retarded than the guy in episode 1.

A whole lot of nothing happened, naked cat girl person thing who hates clothes comes to play and that's about it.

Yeah, I really expect some kind of main plot or even sub-plot that addresses a manipulation of the system, or something similar, by external forces. The total control and span that it exerts over the population, and the notion that some outcasts could know how to avoid it means things can probably escalate in that direction.
But Dragoon En Regalia (more or less) still defended, in good faith, that project as a whole in here. Cool guy... I blame duckroll for his leaving!
I haven't seen the episode yet, but... what the hell happened to make Jun Arai (Arasan) delete his twitter account after this was emitted?
And even like that I still prefer it over gg strangely 'British-ing' the script!

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (2012) 2
Dio keeps me interested (all his poses) and that hovercar Dio, lol, but all in all this was kind of a really boring episode. Dio is the only good character design while everyone else is just too old and way too buff that it becomes unappealing. The lack of friendship stuff just made this rough to get through (I loved the opening football thing)
. Hopefully the series improves from here and gets better, or else this will be a rough 26 or so episodes.

but it was all for naught when both revealed theyve been faking it and clearly have no aspiration to rebuild any at all, so I doubt it will ever come again

I try to watch my anime through official channels. There have been shows I passed on watching solely due to a lack of an official stream. In the case of JoJo, this looks too overly AWESOME to pass up.

What's wrong with the relationship between Jojo and Speedwagon, two gentlemen recognizing each other's gentlemanliness?
