This is a first episode done right for a series. Had no idea what to expect going into this, but the opening scene gives it a somewhat dark and mysterious vibe. Then it opens with the main characters and the relationships he has with everyone, and you can tell pretty much how things are between them and where they stand. You think it's just a comedy or slice of life but there was that opening scene that reminds you this isn't that type of show, as well as the calendar. Then the ending happens and bam, now I really want to see the next ep. A definite watch for me this season. I got some Steins;Gate vibe from it in terms of direction and story.
Fall 2014 is kicking Summer 2014's ass to the curb hardcore right now with just this and Log Horizon 2.

Tomino, eat your heart out.
Though I thought the scene after the hospital scene completely ruined the whole thing.

I guess the author is inspired by Tomino's naming sense

Really? I thought the scene was a good cliff-hanger. You're seeing the same scene again except now something different happens, which indicates some sort of time travel or alternate time-line. It has you thinking, and it also teases the new character.
See I completely didn't get that at all. Didn't even realise it was a repeated scene. To me it just looked like a scene shortly after the hospital scene which ruined the cliffhanger and made no sense to me.
Guess I need to rewatch the end.

That battle scene is amazing.
Based UFOTABLE.
Of course, everything else is also great. The BG, the OST. I'm pleased.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
In the first episode we have
and people getting what they deserve. Also lots of bare breasts with no nipples. It's on a whole other level.
This is one to watch for the ages. So bad I don't know what else to say.
HAHAHAHAHAHA
Edit: Can't unsee the Milla Maxwell similarity in those last scenes.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
In the first episode we have
planning for incest, a coup d'etat of sorts, anal probing, treating other humans as subhuman garbage,

The first 12 episodes of the original series were actually one volume of the books. And then the second half covered 2 more books.
Ironically though, the first 12 episodes consisted of about 7 or so worth of filler. They padded it out by quite a bit. Kinda the opposite of Baccano, which covered 4 books in its entire run, including the OVA eps.
The books vary in length, but generally it should only take 3-4 eps to cover a single book, give or take. It also helps that a lot of events happen parallel to one another, so they could also save time that way.
IMO, 3 cours is more than enough time to cover everything.

Parts of this were hilarious, parts of it make me feel dirty for having watched it. I need to drink more to sear this from my memory.

That clarifies things pretty well. Having not read the books I wasn't sure how dense they were, but it seems like they should be able to adapt it without rushing through material.

Glad this show is back. New op is not as good as season 1's. Also, what's up with that metal music during the dark parts of the show -- it doesn't fit well. Kind of a weird start up ep considering what happened at the end of the last season.
Also the sound mixing is weird for Yuzuki.

I was mentioning last night but I wonder if part of it is down to the mixed chronology of the first series. Try to do it for a second series and you'd have people continually second guessing because they know the "trick" but trying to tell the story would take away some of the frenetic energy of the first series.
Or it just didn't do as well as Durarara at shifting the novels. I don't know.

Cross Ange,
The fuck is wrong with this show, racist protagonist, racist country anal probing and potential incest. Why god why.
The protagonist got what she deserved but not the anal probing, why did they have to do that, who thought that was a good idea.

You just can't appreciate the sick depth of characterization.

Somebody who got to see an early screening and somehow ended up unironically defending the incest in the middle of a screed against the
bloody anal rape

That fight scene. That bond. That saber.
Well, we are off to a great start i guess. This is my first fate series so i got nothing to say.

Every shot seemed to stay way longer than it should. A good 13 seconds on the alarm.
No character really grabbed me. Maybe Chamber will make a return as best character

Magic Kaito 1412 - 1
Why the 1412 part?
4 minutes in:
Cool kid that likes to look at panties. Tsundere girl that gets violent. Magic tricks. Fights in the middle of the class with everyone acting as it's the most normal thing in the world. Classy thieves.
Anime as fuck.

dont read the comments
You should have seen my face when I was playing the VN, lol.
And the game is much more cruel in the aftermath than the series. It was intense...
Keep forward, you are up for a good run.
oh by the way folks, what the preview never mentioned is that the aftermath of the
isn't even really part of the episode; it's just awkwardly shoved into the ED where a scene of a bunch of naked girls fondling each other suddenly cuts to
, and then just suddenly cuts back to the rest of the ED.
If that wasn't enough, the PV has a fourth-wall-breaking narrator who pokes fun at what just happened:
cross ange yo
anal rape
Ange lying on the floor in her blood-soaked tattered clothes, trembling and tearful

I'm going to ask, even if maybe I will regret it later
How people know it was anal rape and not... normal rape? I suppose the scene wasn't that graphically explicit... right? right?!

Not only is the show bad it brings out the dregs of society. Fantastic.... Just what we needed.
I'd say the mixed chronology was because they wanted to fit in as much of the series as possible since they knew they probably weren't making a sequel.
I mean, they also ended up cutting out characters and some plot.
I could do with more animated Baccano, though.
It could be either, but the fact that she's chained face-down on a metal slab and the gratuitous shots of her ass wiggling before the scene kind of imply..............yeah.
"It's just a physical."
Given the blood maybe you could say it was vaginal, if you want to just keep making this worse and worse.
so this is what gamergaters do in their spare time

I must say, I'm a bit surprised people here read the prescreening impressions of Cross Ange and still watched the thing. I guess that's the human race for you - depravity will always bring a crowd.
