What I wouldn't give for a continuation of this. That said, even if it was made, it probably wouldn't look anywhere near as nice.
Also, Crest/Banner was a light novel adaptation as well wasn't it? Or were they just regular, short novels?

That's the other reason why Harry Potter is a masterpiece compared to what we've been watching this year.
Just saying the problem is more to the narrative shallow or not than the character trait.
The one-man episode thing is something I find so intriguing. One of the reasons I want to get to Zambot 3 eventually isn't just to satiate my old school mecha thirst but one of the episodes was key animated by just two guys, one of which was Kanada.
But I won't get to see Hermoine twerk.
I forgot about that site. I see it's actually up.
So much hype and then it died cos it was about writing rather than blasting some Death Eaters in the face in an MMO.
Oh, this is great. The kid playing the main character in the Ender's Game movie (which opens this Friday) compared his role to Shinji Ikari.

Oh please.. I just about to mention at least HP movies wouldn't as bad as this adaptation
EDIT: MY EYESSSSSS, that terribad poster
Kyousogiga Episode 2
I love everything about this show. I came in riding the hype train hard for KLK into this season, and as much as I adore it, this show came right out of nowhere and blew me away. Aggressively unconventional, absolutely gorgeous, refreshing sense of pace and direction.
I think I particularly love how minimal this show is, in terms of playing its' hand, for lack of a better term. A lot of anime get into this bad habit of either over-expositing or failing to explain literally anything at all, but Kyousogiga strikes a great balance in terms of letting you in on what you need to know (through visual cues or otherwise). It gives you the dots and connecting them from that point on isn't especially hard.
...particularly that moment when Koto sits in the chair,
Coupled with a few more scenes afterwards, almost everything clicked in my head, and it was just... great. There's still a lot that I don't know, but it answers the questions it raises spectacularly. Peeling back mysteries like so many layers.

sees the painting of the black rabbit and the shot pans out to reveal the entrance to Mirror Kyoto.
Glad to see this catch on a bit more. Don't forget it's got an OT too.
Decided I'd give the show a shot before long after reading that OT. Wonderfully informative.
What anime is this gif from?
Can't recognize the character and Google isn't getting me anything.

I don't think that's necessarily true as a teeny bit of the discussion has been siphoned off into the show-specific threads.
On the contrary, I think this is a pretty excellent season overall and anime fans should feel spoiled for choice.

Kill la Kill has gotten the most discussion on GAF of any anime that has come out this year.
Well, that's not really surprising. It was reeeeally hyped, and it's been pretty polarizing.
We should talk about Kyousougiga more though.
You can have an antagonist that isn't rationalized, but they need to be a force-of-nature presence in the story. They have to be palpably threatening, like Anton Chigurh or Ledger's Joker.

The power of Gurren Lagann I suppose. Although there's probably been more pages, overall, devoted to Sword Art Online over in Toonami land. I'm too frightened to look.
I'm finding it hard to disagree, lol.
Glad you thought so!
I don't make very many threads so I was hoping I did the show some justice by giving people the information they need.
I see that was all that was left of your impressions after they were scrubbed clean to avoid drawing undue attention from the FBI.

Aw, Non Non Biyori 4 was so sad and cute
I think if he hasn't been detained by now, we're stuck with him.
It might end up there, but that's still Attack on Titan at the current time.

I think Nibun no Ichi by BACK-ON full version for Gundam Build Fights is possibly in the running for one of the best full op songs this season.
Not gonna lie, I still prefer Cho to Ginny because FUCK GINNY WEASLY.
I actually liked the 7th book a lot because it took the cast out to explore the world instead of stuck in the school. Book 6 was the worst, though, as nothing happens until the end.
Also still salty about that stupid Dumbledore reveal to give Rowling more attention.
dat Volfogg tho
I already guess being critical for this kind of show not gonna helping, even after get past MOTW eps.. those reused interaction footage still there
Mmmmm Big Volfogg is so good.

I still need to watch Kyousogiga and Yozakura Quartet, but nothing this season has come close to the hype for me.

Episodes like this is why I watch slice of life. They just nailed it completely. We were watching over Renge's shoulders as she met her new friend, which culminated into a beautiful emotional moment. Emotionally, I was completely invested.
This show does great things with humble material.

I'm actually surprised that the KLK OT is growing at a faster rate than the AoT OT. Don't underestimate TTGL fans, I guess.
"The first of Sakura Wars on Blu-Ray in North America"?
Someone needs to learn grammar before they write copy!
Yes, that's true. Or for an anime example, Johan Liebert, although in that case he is eventually given a rationalization. But that's because rationalizing the force-of-nature villain is the entire point of Monster.

If you had said episode 0 I could understand (and disagree), but episodes 2 and 3 aren't any more expository than episode 1 was. If anything, episode 2 was the most obscure of the three. Episode 1 was very straightforward - and that isn't a bad thing!

I know, even removing the "of" and "on" would work much better grammatically.
For me in Texas, EMS takes 4 days from Japan, while FedEx Priority takes 2 and has more reliable tracking (USPS seems to forget to scan packages half the time so I'm never quite sure when it's getting here). So I like FedEx better when I can get it.
But EMS came through today with anime!

The Akisora illustration book that came with that issue of Champion RED Ichigo has some illustrations by guest illustrators, one of whom is Komatsu Eeji, the illustrator for the Golden Time novels that have a TV anime running this season, so I figure I'll link of photo of that in case anyone's interested, but although all naughty bits are covered it's still quite NSFW so be warned: http://i.imgur.com/5P8O49u.jpg
Regardless, if Voldemort had a specific rationale then it would explain specific goals and plots that build to their fulfillment. If he's simply out to tear shit up, then you're left wondering why he twiddles his thumbs so much.
He's also such a jerk and so tactically stupid that you wonder why the death eaters don't stage a coup against him. I mean, he gets killed by a freaking baby the first time, and when he comes back he spends all of his time obsessed with that now-teenage boy instead of focusing on world domination and killing the muggles or whatever.
