It sounds like there's a fundamental mismatch between what you're looking for from the show and what the shows actually about. I haven't read the book but I don't see that changing any time soon.

Well, people can (not) get over it so maybe Rebuild isn't as far off the mark as you suggest. What they did to
Asuka
Typical anime fan.
The problem with Rebuild is that it's bad.
That's constructive.

Asuka really has seen better days:
The fuck is this. If they were really going to go down the bad-character design route they might as well have animated the sequel, Anima:
Whoops, it looks that I've talked about Anima so much that google actually leads me back to the thread where I was discussing it. That's always a bad sign.

I went to this club which was close to The kings Collage and it was full of bloody Hipster. I prefer Nerds to those.
Some things don't need to be explained more than once.

Is there really? Preview (along with the ending to this episode) lead me to believe that shit was about to go down. I better not be misled!

Back in your hole, broseph.
LSE then? KCL didn't have its own anime club, or maybe they do now. It's been two years since I went.
There is no hole.

Well I certainly don't know what's coming up, it just doesn't feel like a series that's particularly interested in shit going down.
It's a anime based on a novel with a emphasis on atmosphere and world-building, it is not designed to appeal to your ADHD sensibilities, this isn't LOST thankfully.
Of course, I do expect the plot to kick into full gear eventually, but it's not the main point of the series.

Well this part was certainly full of surprises ..Why ?
Because the production values were mostly good and because they didn't stay into that school setting for long ..Eden felt properly overpowered it reminded me of the early phoenix days ... in short good stuff ..they also quickly moved the plot with the mars & athena stuff ..HOWEVER there is ninja sain dude with weird attacks in there .. i don't have time to make a gif of it ..but it sure felt unneccessary it was weird

i can't believe they found a ligitimate way to nerf everyone without everything to look dumb

There was a pervert that liked to lick clothes but it doesn't matter ..what matter is that even with poison & paralysis , the Main characters can run when they need to , or even punch !! Now that's willpower !! Who cares about status effects when you can just burn your cosmo ??

Where did the ninja dude go ? Nobody knows ... i guess we have no need for him except for specific plot reasons ..thank god thank god , he only fought once and i don't like him.i guess everyone realised that he was unnecessary...

Classic

Overall nice episode , enjoyable at least the casting is growing on me , except the bad guy of the week of course and the ninja dude that comes back..why did he come back again ? oh because there is no other way plot wise to make everyone come inside until the last moment...Anyway as long as that ninja dude doesn't fight i have no problems with him...
Wait that's RA-- ? isn't it ?

A yuna episode ..Yuna being a decent character nerfed by plots reasons that was pretty nice ..nothing to add except that they didn't go all the way they shoudl have in terms of fights animation but it was okay..wait a plot advance at the end ? Well thanks even if it was something predictable ..how can you save someone if she isn't confirmed kidnapped ? koga would have been in a pintch if she was really dead .
i shouldn't have enjoyed this episode this much ..and i don't know why i enjoyed it

You're far too sensible.
To be honest with you, I haven't really research about various Anime clubs in London, so if you know any let me know.
I am going to the Imperial Collage one, because of a friend asked me to join him there. I go to a shitty University that doesn't have any society, let alone an Anime one. I woulnd't mind pop in a day oor two just to discuss about the medium.

I don't have ADHD and its pretty rude for you to insinuate that I do. And again I don't know much about the novel, I haven't read it and neither have you.
I was talking about how the anime series is presenting itself; that said as jexhius has noted before, the pacing is very novel-like in terms of execution, so I think I have a (somewhat) clear idea of what the novel is like.
So do I. It SUCKSSSSSSSSS
I can't watch a series unless I marathon it because I lose momentum and interest.
Pills aren't always necessary for the second part.
But they make it worse
From going to no focus on anything to too much focus on one thing...
I recommend Hyouka as I don't think you've seen it yet, right? Chitanda and Irisu are both :Chet. It's kind of hard not to notice for Irisu, as quite often times in the earlier episodes just after her introduction they would frame her from the side.
Yeah, that true I guess but there are some who overlap. As a quick side tangent,speaking of overlap, it's kind of annoying how western "video game reviewers" auto-hate JRPGs and will say the voice acting is bad (among other double standards). One group compared a JRPG to a WRPG and said one was better than the other as far as voice acting but the sad thing was that the voice clips used in their examples were the same person! It was Liam O'Brian using the exact same voice for the same type of character! This is one of the many reasons I pay no attention to reviewers and just see them as getting free money at this point.
Anyway, I agree with you that male actors seem to stick with more the same voice or have a deeper voice for older characters and another voice when playing younger or more timid types. In both English and Japanese many young male characters are voiced by females. It reminds me of when I found out years ago that Bart was voiced by a female. I believe Nelson is voiced by the same girl too.
With Yuu Kobayashi though, she seems to mostly switch from a deeper voice for male characters and tougher females to a softer voice for all other females. She's another one who usually has a pretty distinctive voice with the odd exception. For me anyway.
It's true too that many people don't have to display any range just because they have such a recognizable voice such as James Earl Jones for example. There's some such as Patrick Stewart who can display a range, as shown in his theater days, but doesn't really seem to use that when doing voice over roles. Honestly it was kind of weird watching the English dub of a couple of Studio Ghibli films, as the Voice Director didn't seem to be looking for someone who could act and had professional training but more going for that "Celebrity Status" instead. That's not to say they still didn't do an okay job.
On that thought, using something like the English dub of Final Fantasy: Advent Children,as I think it was intended to be a little bit more mainstream than your average anime or JRPG, the main cast seemed to be voiced by more well known celebrity people whereas the support characters, such as the Turks, were voiced by anime/video game regulars. The latter did a much better job than most, not all, of the more well known ones though.
Yeah, your final point could be another example of how the industry has somewhat driven themselves into a corner as far as creativity.
I watched the German dub. I might watch the original later on, but right now I have some 1500 episodes of anime to watch.
Ah, okay. I wonder if the German dub was as cut and edited as the English version. If it wasn't then it's not as big of a deal but if it was then I'd recommend it to you for whenever you get around to it. Being a Sailor Moon fan I'd still recommend it anyway haha.
Nice. I think I got fifteen dollars or something and a little sticker saying first place the one time. I really only entered about three or four competitions though I think, it was really just a hobby for fun for me. I might get back to it someday, every now and then if I meet someone I haven't seen for awhile they might ask if I still draw sometimes.
EDIT: Oh yeah, as far as Palutena, there was that one but I thought someone had an avatar from the Palutena in this picture here:http://i2.pixiv.net/img90/img/chetrippo/28351046_m.png
I'm very big about trying to get as close to the original viewing experience as possible. Suspense feels much stronger when there's an actual time delay between episodes.
Don't have pills anymore. They didn't help anyway. Dosage was wrong and I couldn't get better ones.

I can confirm this. Whether on or off Adderall, the GAF Effect remains.
You wouldn't be up for a Hyouge Mono slow-a-thon, would you?

I have ADHD. I am currently keeping up with over 200 manga series and nearly 20 anime.
I contemplated it, but I'm to the point where I can't pay attention unless I have the weekly airing to keep me on task.
I've just left that on the back burner. Going to wait for all the episodes before I continue with it.
Accel World 09:
Foul-mouthed, ill-tempered lolis are always fun characters. Niko is no exception. Non-Brain Burst stuff is tolerable again.
So, uhh, this whole
thing is kind of creeping out of the original scope of the game, but I suppose they need something to keep the plot from being a constant stream of turf wars. I'll see how it resolves before deciding to criticize it.
also lol @ western dudebro games being viewed as important cultural artifacts in future Japan. I can only imagine the threads on NeoNeoNeoNeoGAF.

Words to live by. Bonus points if you chase the pills with alcohol.
Well. Not only is Kirito Batman but he's apparently also a magician.
Spoilers cuz I don't want to get banned. Up to episode 15 I guess.

Time for Plan B, then: convince NHK to re-air the series with all-new extended scenes.
I would think that it's okay. Meh. W/e....
Oh my gosh. It's been forever since episode 3 aired and almost a week since episode 15. I wouldn't consider it spoilers.
Jeez. I've seen worse.

That killed whatever momentum they had going at the end of episode one.
Also the soundtrack is booooooooooooooooooooooring.

Pretty sure
asuna died. But plot happened.
Why couldn't he fashion a personality for himself, then?
lol. Touche.
He's a magician, he hid his personality to save the world.

Do you know what does have a good soundtrack? Code:Breaker. No, really, it's pretty Death Note in terms of how they use it.
Dammit. Ninja'd.
So you've admitted to spoiling :lol
