Alliance territory back then, but this is not the first time a peaceful demonstration has turned into bloodshed. Reuenthal should be more conscientious of what happens when you bring military forces into such movements. At the very least he should have forbid them from carrying any kind of firearm so that "accidents" like this one do not occur anymore. Neue Land has become a time bomb.
The rest of the episode deals with the luvs and giggles of Julian and Katerose, in a rather desperate attempt to give the latter some characterisation. And speaking of things I don't buy, the Terraists' depiction of a shady underground organisation with universal domination ambitions is the one element of LotGH that I cannot give any excuse for. It's comically cliché and goes against the message of the show that wars are rarely fought between good and evil. It might not have bothered me in a lesser cartoon, but here their inclusion is forced and out of place with the semblance of realism the rest of the narrative imprints on Galactic history (in before the Illuminati conspiracy nutheads).

I really recommend watching this, but as I am probably the last person in this thread who watched it.
Although Haru's behaviour really bothered me at first.

This almost made up for Abashiri Ikka. Almost.

They may not be completely devoid of creativity, but one thing they certainly are devoid of is sensible production scheduling.
I can tell you the exact thought process that went into making this.
Aniplex: "Dang, we've got ourselves a hot, hot property on our hands. We've got to do everything we can to keep this cash train rolling as long as possible. What can you whip us up real quick, Shaft?"
Shaft: "I guess we can slap together a recap movie."
Aniplex: "Sold! Better make it two recap movies so we can take advantage of every bit of TV footage. Now what extra incentive can we throw in to sweeten the pot and get more people into the seats?"
Shaft: "Well, why don't we promise a third movie down the road with some sequel stuff? We'll make some changes to the TV events to set that up and everyone will want to come to see that."
Aniplex: "Excellent. Get to work."
(Several months later.)
Shaft: "Shit, these movies is supposed to come out next month and we haven't done jack squat. Better slap together some new backgrounds and get that thing out there. Oh, I guess we were supposed to make some changes or something. Well, can't bother with that now."
"Third movie? Ha ha ha, if we can't manage to get Kizu out, we're not going to be getting another movie out in any of your lifetimes."
There's a lot of anachronism in the society and combat of LoGH, so I can see how that would be offputting if you're looking for more "hard" sci-fi.
Thinking about your statements in the past, would it be fair to say that you're looking for "A crew of a spaceship does badass things"?
But Madoka is a pure marketing show that isn't very creative.

It is time for some Shaft bashing again?
pizzaroll don't make me feel sad about Madoka right now, I'm going to see the movie tonight.
Well, that's easy to explain.
You can either tolerate questionably directed shows with nearly entirely poor animation and downright missing pieces at times or you can't.
You'll feel sadder when you see it.
If there's anything AnimeGAF likes, it's pounding the SHAFT all afternoon until things reach a climax, then feeling vaguely embarassed, stopping, and not doing it again for a few days.

A lot of that stuff is relegated to the SAO thread. Maybe we need a catch all SHAFT thread for lovers and haters.
Looks like Break Blade was CR's last catalog title addition from that list of ???s they had.

Deadman Wonderland 2-12 (end)
At the end of the day DW was good for action but a bit lacking in the plot and characters department. The action was really nice and flashy once things got moving. I think some moments just always looked odd though
. Really bloody and gorey that I could have done without but it was a part of the concept so it just had to be done. Best moments for it was always with Crow and whenever
.
Where the plot faltered for me was just lots of unresolved points in the end, an unsatisfying conclusion, if one can even call it that, and tons of characters being tossed aside. I would have liked to know more on my favorite character, the good brother Yoh, as well as more on Toto, who could have got an action scene, which I assume comes later in the source material?
Unfortunately, it didnt leave me in a mood to even want to consider the manga so I guess Im just left wondering about some points and if they were addressed. Specifically I guess I just want to know what the ending comment was in reference to
.
I did think it was a enjoyable and suspenseful experience, one that at least kept me watching 11 of the episodes in a row not finishing until around 6 am, so for that it worked, but the plot and characters stuff could have used worked while the action and music was solid. Im left baffled how people could actually have this as their favorite anime (1195) or even say its a 10/10 anime, but it is what it is. Funidub was great and a good stream on their site, but I doubt I will go out and buy this if it is ever actually released on Blu ray here. 5/10

whenever Ganta bit his finger, it just always looked weird everytime

Ganta said the Red Man also knew the song that Shiro was singing, I guess she is Red Man? Furthermore even if they were to escape from their plan, they never once addressed how they'd pop their collars, so I always felt their plan was just broken from the start

Know I'm late to this (went to bed), but wasn't there one time where some
dentist monster who was about to go all Marathon Man on Usagi's and Chibi-Usa's mouths, and it was their screaming at the prospect of it that broke the windows and got them out of it somehow?
Edit: Nothing to do with my post, but apparently From the New World 4 is rad. Can't wait!

@DTL: Interesting review. Deadman Wonderland is the next show I'll watch.
Don't do it.
That's correct, that happened in Episode 26 of SuperS or Episode 153 total. Actually
Usagi and Chibiusa not only cracked the aquarium glass but caused the whole building to shake and crack. This is an actual attack as well but rarely used as it's more involuntary. In the very first episode and in this one you'll notice the jewel pieces on the girls odango will actually start to glow and flash, I think amplifying their screams.

I'll back this statement up. Stay away.
Oh right, I forgot
there was an aquarium there. Didn't realize that was an actual attack though.

I agree with this. The treatment of the Earth Cult, and by proxy religion in general, is sadly shallow and caricatured. It's the main problem that keeps me from agreeing with the people who call this the "best anime ever".

Only if you're not a sensible person, which unfortunately applies to far too many people on the Internet. The proper position is to understand that Shaft has really problematic production methods and a studio style which is easy to be abused by those who lack skill, but at the same time they have a few really talented people working there. Sometimes they end up making a great product (e.g., Soredemo Machi wa Mawatteiru), sometimes they don't. No need to polarize the issue.

Gotta go fast!? I wish Gear would have stated the line however, I really liked his role and just everything about him, even his devotion to Til. I think its a kind of enjoyable start however all the kind of pervy moments just always feel out of place and one was just plain awkward
. Then theres all those "stick it in" lines.
Though imagine a world in which Ninteldo does have like 90% of the Consume...Poor Segua Kingdom. Good luck.

While that technology is theoretically pretty cool the way it's implemented in the world of Psycho Pass suggests that it's basically being used to cover up the reality of the world that the characters live in. Akane may have the illusion of living in a nice apartment, but her room is actually cold, sterile and unpleasant. It's a thin veneer on the top of a society whose order is maintained by literal thought police which certainly isn't a very attractive world to live in. It's not meant to be a future you'd want to inhabit.

Why do people suggest skipping My Conquest Is the Sea of Stars? I started with that, and seeing as it was the first thing animated and it comes first chronologically, it seems like the best place to start.
I've been crying manly tears all morning. Will anime ever be as good again after Getter Robo Armageddon?
