lol. I actually really did like Angel Beats, but considering it was like the first anime I watched my opinion's probably completely changed.

At least PSG got recognition it deserved.
They should make more Ben-to. Remember that show DP?
As long as it sells its fine.
That is so awesomely bad.

hahaha what the heck, I had no idea what was going on the whole time.
I think it's kinda interesting the difference in animation styles in that scene in particular -- the Americans are drawn in a style that reminds me of American cartoon designs.

- Nii-yawn Genesis Evangelion 14
What the heck is even going on. 11 never happened, the Dead Sea Scrolls, Rei mumbling some random crap.
Everyone's got emotional baggage and it just keeps growing and growing
Now watch Do you Remember Love? Jarmel, that's the real deal.
Its kinda shame you're not enjoying/taking this watch seriously, at least that what I get from these impression. I really appreciate NGE after my recent rewatch.

- Log Horizon 07 END
Why is everyone so pretty in this world. I mean, I guess it's the same problem in Sword Art Online and all MMO-based fiction, but like. Everyone is so attractive, and if they're not, then they're like people who are clearly not in the demographic for a game like this, with tons of old guys.
Huh... Unlike in SAO, there was no "you return to your real appearance" thing here. They look like their characters, unless they go out of their own to change things (like Akatsuki did in episode 1).
I feel like that was the biggest problem with Shin Mazinger. Imagawa really had no interesting ideas for the characters who were originally the main cast of the series... Sayaka falls for Kouji, and Boss becomes a friendly rival and ally just because that's supposed to be their roles in the story, with little screentime spent on actually developing those elements. And Imagawa doesn't really add anything to them, unlike what's done to the villains and new supporting characters.
Macross-fin
Minmay and Hikaru don't interact at all and so any sort of chemistry is lost in the void. Like why should the audience be rooting for the two to get back together when they barely have any scenes together? The relationship drama wasn't interesting or entertaining to watch. Minmay clearly doesn't give a fuck about him for a good chunk of the episodes. Doesn't stop Hikaru from savoring being in the friendzone for god knows how many years. It got old real quick and it doesn't let up. Kaifun being an insufferable prick that everybody wants to dickride didn't help matters either.
He's not as despicable as Kaifun(did I mention that he deserves to be beaten to a bloody pulp?) but he's still a shitbag. He doesn't deserve any black tea.
If they had found out about masturbation, they would have truly been unstoppable. That said, the
I did like the fact that they had issues adjusting but they didn't really do anything that interesting with it.
The show was on an animation level, a true sakuga show. What I mean in that the show looks pretty poor most of the time but does have periods where the animation looks fantastic. I've seen people unintentionally look cross eyed or bugged eyed, not to mention that fight in Nyan Nyan where I was seeing white and streaks of black to represent punches. They also reused quite a bit of footage but it wasn't as bad as GaoGaiGar. Some of the mech/dog fights do look incredible but the off character models should be noted.
Well the pain is over with. Misa deserved better. I really not sure about how I feel about this show. The first fourteen or so episodes are pretty good. However with the introduction of Kaifun(a character who needed a good old ass beating with a lead pipe), the show goes into this death spiral that doesn't ease up and just absorbs everything. I liked some of the early character interactions and dialogue but when
Minmay becomes famous
I will give Hikaru credit for confessing to Minmay but the back ten then undo any goodwill I had given him due to him becoming a straight up asshole.
I did enjoy a lot of the secondary characters such as Focker, Shammy, Claudia(a black woman in an interracial relationship in an anime is blowing my mind), and Max. Well much more than the main three. I mean Misa isn't really that bad in the show as she does develop and change, but the other two, I wouldn't care if one of the Zentradi stepped on them both. I liked Misa a lot more in the later episodes as she does soften up.
Why does she have orange soda in a wineglass?
As for the narrative, it was kinda cheesy but still a decent watch. There are elements of the show I liked, such as the breaking or not functioning of certain technical components in the show, but then there are other elements
such as having your climax be at episode 27 in a 36 episode series. The back ten feel like some extended epilogue that almost doesn't feel like it's from the same show in that it's a bit darker in tone. I will give them credit for allowing the destruction of the Earth. That felt like a really dark moment and I'm not sure if many other franchises would have had the balls to do that. I did like some stuff from the back ten in that it depicts how the Zentradi have been affected by their contact with human society and 'culture'.
threat from the rebels wasn't really that serious and I found that storyline kinda boring.

I wasn't that impressed with the soundtrack. The OP theme is good but the rest of it other than Minmay's songs (and variations of it) aren't that good. That said, I highly enjoyed Minmay's stuff. Good utau indeed.
She's seen some shit.
I should also note that having seen Macross Frontier first, I realize how much Macross Frontier pays homage to in the OG series. There are a ton of references that MF does that I didn't really pick up.
In short, it looks like Max was the true winner in the series.
Got the best wife, is the best pilot, and has a kid to boot.

She just changed to a female appearance, is there any reason to believe it's what she really looks like?
Agreed. A lot of cliques and groups form but it just splinters the whole Gaf community into insular divisions.
Nah its a terrible idea.
now for Macross 7

The reason that she changed wasn't only gender. She changed to a body similar to her real self to avoid the balance problems that she had right after the change. It doesn't mean that it's identical to her real appearance though.
Idol culture!
Episode 3 was fucking amazing. DON'T LOSE YOUR WAAAAAAAAAAAAY
We need a new episode like that, hopefully escalating things so quickly it'll pierce the heavens.
Pretty good list!
Episode 3 was great, but it's not GL episode 11. Other people's comments have been getting at this, but Ryuuko still has a lot of growing up to do. Beyond her vague goals of "revenge" and "piss off Satsuki", she doesn't really know what she's fighting for. Until she figures that out, she'll just be a tool of the government, or anyone else.
That said, it's still one of my favorite shows this season.
In short, my biggest disappointment is KnK, and my biggest surprise is Kyousougiga, which I had no real expectations for going in. I think I see what people mean now when they talk about its weaknesses relative to the ONAs (I should check those out just to see how they handled things), but I really like what it's doing. And the opening always lifts my spirits.

After 17 episodes, Garmillas doesn't resemble Space Prussia much at all.

You'd probably wipe out half the industry if you went that route.
Sounds promising. At least David Production is saying all the right things.
I see they changed the opening sequence to make it even more like that of an American live-action TV show. Otherwise, looks neat. Sawashiro's voice for Logicoma makes my heart melt.
Friendly reminder (again) watch Do You Remember Love soon. Shortening the whole thing to just 2 hour movie made the presentation more poetic than the silly sci-fi + soap opera than what they had in this TV series.
I do fond enough with the TV series tho, but I like the movie presentation better.
Of course, he's the man with zero fuck to give.

War crimes eh? Is this going to be about the director of Kanata?
You're blaming the director and not the writer?
Did you watch the prologue? The guy looks like a good soldier who was simply in the wrong war. Sounds like the director to me!

What a wonderful yet disturbing world they've created. It's really impressive how they were able to give a real sense of self with the literature and flashbacks. It's also wonderful to look at, aside from a bit of budget in the last ep. The main group of characters are fun, though I think I've had enough of timid, fuwa fuwa Mamoru. I totally understand his emotions in that situation but it was still pretty grating.

i am a blazblue player , the anime is just ...disapointing.
i dont know if it's the planning that was a mess of the director or just the studio or even if they got pressure from above but i feel that this anime is an insult to the fans.
Last season i was very critical of danganronpa but i honnestly feel that blazblue is doing MUCH MUCH worse in term of faithfullness to the original material.
I highly doubt she has adorable mophair "irl". Or that Serara is that precious either. But, this is animu.
Those creatures...SO unsettling.

I think the best couple is a tie between Max and them though. They both got the life they wanted!

And the race continues. I love Onoda's determination
. Strange foreign man is fantastic and I hope we see more of him in the future. Still enjoying the little B plot at the end of the credits every week
.
Best character so far.
And the race continues. I love Onoda's determination
though I worry about if he's going to end up pushing himself too far in the future
