Yozakura Quartet: Hana no Uta Episode 2:
I was not expecting that level of Yuri, so this show gets a stay of execution. Indeed, this is where that one picture posting the other day came from. Outside of that, this was a typical day in the life of our characters, which thankfully kept the High School segments to a minimum. Though the office stuff was pretty mundane, but I suppose that is the point. Still, hopefully next episode shit can actually happen.

I really liked MGR's sound track. Not as much as previous games in that series, though.
Okay, someone explain what I said wrong, 'cuz I apparently said something.
Not actively supporting Fascism, Genocide, and Pedophilia is a pretty big plus, I would think.
He's an alien of some sort. In the first episode he talks about how different Earth is from Arian, the world he comes from. He also mentions not wanting to bring dishonor to his family, so he's probably some sort of royalty or something.
It's not cool to like Hiroyuki Sawano's music, ergo the disapproving looks. Many feel it is inappropriate for the scenes it is used in.
Oh. Well. I mean, I hated the 2nd OP but I still thought the rest was good. Of all the problems I had with the show, which were myriad, music selection is not one I recall having.
The OP/ED usually have nothing to do with the OST composer, the one that getting controversial because he getting popular and handling many most wanted project.

I haven't heard much of Sawano's work. But from what I've heard from Unicorn and KlaK he can do some good stuff. A lot of the stuff in Unicorn feels pretty uninspired but the Unicorn theme itself never fails to lift every hair on my body.
AoT's OST perfectly reflected the angst going on in the show. It was like a Linkin Park AMV but not shitty. I mean... you get what I mean.
Blah, 2nd OP was the best thing about the whole show. Hypest shit ever.
Now the 2nd ED? That was some bad shit.
Gundam Build Fighters has the best something of the season, i'll give it that:
Sorry cat MILF.

duckroll, are you abandoning Gundam GAF, or are you recruiting them for our cause? I was surprised to not see your impression alongside Jubern and I right after the episode ended.
Fun show. I haven't watched much of the other series this season, but it's likely my current favorite. I want to give Gingitsune and Yowamushi Pedal a try, but perhaps not until they end.

Dude wrote the Unicorn theme? Now I really don't get the hate. Unicorn theme is dope.
Unicorn and Blue Exorcist's OST are amazing, the problem's dude's living on his past glory lately.
Hmmm? I was out earlier, so I didn't watch the entire episode until I got home. It's not my fault posts are all split between 3 threads! There's a Gundam Build Fighters OT though, that's where all impressions should go!
I have so many shows to wrap up its not even funny. Curse my luck!!

If she would stop polluting the pixiv tag
Nice to know fan artist know their priority.
I guess I'm just a dirty pleb in this, too.
Yeah, that's how I feel on it.
Gundam Build Fighters Episode 2:
A show this close to the cut of the likes of Pokemon, Beyblade and Yu-Gi-Oh! should not be this good and yet here we are. Not even sure why this program is so compelling, well, beyond the fact that the mech battles are gorgeous and well animated, and not using CGI. I guess comes down to good execution but this vexes me, vexes me more then it should. More thought is needed on the matter. Anyway, this episode mainly focused on showing off some of the other tournament fighters and establishing rivals and it is all very stock yet I was never bored. Gundam Build Fighters, you are an X Factor that gets my attention for the season.

Not denying its legitimacy. I just don't like it.
Yozakura - Episode 2
I'm really pleasantly surprised at how much better this series is than I expected. There was some pretty good direction in this episode, especially with how it plays with chronology. The event sequencing was pretty effectively, and created a bit of a visual mystery for the viewer to solve without having it convolute the actual narrative. I felt it was a pretty smart way to make an otherwise mundane day much more interesting to watch. It also provided interesting insights on the various characters and how they play off each other both consciously and unconsciously.

It's usually done in a more controlled manner or it doesn't take up near as much time as Shin Mazinger did. This was a complete waste of the first episode.
Yes I got that but somebody else would have ordered them to crack the thing long ago. It felt like the sample was being kept around because the plot demanded it so.

Don't be put off by that. Shin Mazinger Z is a complete and well made series. As I've expressed elsewhere, while I think GGG is a good show some people recommend skipping the first 25 episodes, which should give you some how idea of how much filler you have to wade through.
Requested:
Harmonie is about a boy who loves anime meeting a girl with a unique perspective on the world. Like many of Yoshiura's projects, it's set in a school, but this time he wants the focus of the narrative to be the classroom itself.
The Big First-Year Student and the Small Second-Year Student is an adaptation of a picture book from 1970. It's a story about a physically developed first year student who is mentally weak, and a mentally strong second year student who is physically underdeveloped.
Paroru and the Future Island is about 3 children who live on an island filled with mysterious animals. They know nothing about the human world, but one day they decide to break the rules and fly away to the human world for a big adventure. The challenges they face on the adventure will require them to combine their abilities to overcome the trials.
Kuro no Su -Chronus- is a mysterious story about a high school student who can see the "black matter" which abducts souls, which no one else can see. He (she?) doesn't have any interest in such things though, but that's because he (she?) doesn't realize that danger is looming in on his (her?) childhood friend. The title is a pun where the Japanese title "Kuro no Su" is referring to where the black matter originates from, but it also reads as "Chronos" which is Greek for "time".

See? I'm not crazy!
Hey, Imagawa is just delivering the goods up front to hell you get HYPE early. I know that decision but some people off but I think it's a stroke of (twisted) genius.
I think the lineup is really strong this year. The four shorts look interesting and have potential in some way or another, and the staff is really solid on all of them. I'm most interested in Paroru, but all of them seem much more dignified than this year's Ryo and Arve Rezzle .

Asks questions so Ezalc doesn't have to
Should I be watching this? I get the impression I should be watching this.
Shin Mazinger Z 2-
Anyway I do like the lead though as it seems he has a bit of a vicious streak to him.
Alright episode although it was funny that yesterday you guys were talking about digital composition and that's the first thing I noticed. I'm not impressed with the animation so far although I did like a couple of the shots due to the camerawork.

You should. It's pretty great!
I thought we did! D:
Oh dear god, they're making dakimakura bundles for those "sleeping with your little sister" CDs.
http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/int...-to-your-sister-with-official-hugging-pillows (note: a couple of the pictures on the article page may be slightly NSFW)
I can hear ZachDeKoromaru counting out the $125 for the Saika pillow/CD set as I'm typing this.
edit: wait, looks like that bundle is only sold at Toranoana. Oh well.

All four shorts look promising, but Shin-Ei's Paroru is the most appealing. The visual style is so colorful and vibrant. Kameda and Studio Pablo are a winning combination!

Well, Ryo is Gonzo and Arve Rezzle isn't even a true Anime Mirai project, so yeah.

All of you keep talking about Gundam. We all know the Gundam in those shows are all rip-offs of this beauty right here.

Keep throwing shows onto the checkout list of Isle KirbYayoi.
Doooomed.\
Waiiit. Is Yozakura Quartet a continuing series or something? Do I need past knowledge?

I know none of you might care, but in my Pokemon X/Y trainer PR video one of the dialogue options is "Who do you think I am?"
So of course I had to make my trainer do an cocky/angry face with a raised fist saying this. If only the game had Kamina glasses I'd be set.
