Muginami is the best. Her mugis are truly top tier.
Madoka is kind of a dummy for
, but I suppose genkis gonna genki. Lan's speech was cringey in more ways than one, but it ended up going into heart-attack territory so I can't complain.
Also, dat wholesome Yuri bonding.

That was pretty good, Madoka, but Nanami you are not.
The way they had
was really awkward. By the time
Madoka's came around, all the tension was gone and all I could think about was how pornographic
was.
I also wasn't terribly fond of
Is there an explanation for that I missed, or is it just chalked up to inscrutable space magicks?
The mech combat was good stuff through and through, however.

In this episode, everyone discusses what happened last episode. And Yurikano is revealed to be a huge slut.
While there were a number of warning flags going up, closing the episode with this shot tells me that shit is about to get real. Prepare your anus, Madoka.

The way they had
the Vox save each of the girls at the last possible moment
not-
Yurikano getting pressed into by the crystals(including a shot of some going into her butt)
I also wasn't terribly fond of
Madoka and Yurikano randomly swapping back into their original bodies upon touching Dizelmine.

I see that a lot of great character designers have been listed already, but two ones I particularly like that I haven't seen mentioned yet are
Kenichi Konishi (My Neighbors the Yamadas, Tokyo Godfathers, Fullmetal Alchemist: The Sacred Star of Milos, Mysterious Girlfriend X)
and
Nobutake Ito (Kemonozume, Kaiba, Tatami Galaxy).
These are all good choices - I particularly agree about Nishiya and Saito - but I do have to point out that your last attribution is incorrect. Yoshifumi Kondo, rest his soul, did character designs for Ghibli films such as Grave of the Firefiles and Only Yesterday, but the designs for Kiki's were done by Katsuya Kondo, who also handled those for Ponyo and From Up on Poppy Hill.

Nakiami's design was really good.

Zetsuen no Tempest - 05
Still enjoying this and hoping the show will take its own route, completely separating itself from the manga plot (of which I know nothing, but I trust the majority of people that said it's shit). The art seems much better now, probably a different animation director for this episode? The ending got me pumped for next week.

Why? Poor Unit-02, you've now been given the best and worst treatment by this franchise.
Because Gainax is dead.
Have you watched Eiken?

Tomodachi wa Mahou
Yeah its terrible.
I promised a certain somebody I'd watch to episode 4 but I cringe every time I try and then I bail out. I don't know if I can do this.

Khara. Although I guess Gainax being dead may have something to do with it.

And the fighting starts! Laced with enough dialogue to fill a normal shounen episode up to its brink.
That wasn't bad. The action wasn't bad, the dialogue whatever I paid attention too wasn't too silly. It was decent.

Rinne no Lagrange 01
First episode had boob poking, shower creeping, clothes stealing, and mysterious panty investigations. Sold!
I think there might have been mecha too, but I could have dreamed that part.

I dont know, I guess I just find older characters to be a bit unappealing and kind of baffling to be experiencing adventures on the high seas. Shes at or near the age where she should start considering other occupations I think. But mainly, its her VA in the anime that gives her the impression that she is older than what her listed age is.
If Im watching an anime Id rather not be repulsed by characters that I could care less about and at least see some good looking well designed and unique ones. Just look at some of the more recent anime that excel in great designs and how you can still have a wide variety of good unique designs even when characters ages are relatively kept younger and in the same side of the ballpark (K, From The new World, Kimi to Boku, Uta no Prince Sama, Sekaiichi Hatsukoi, Kuroko's Basketball, Code:Breaker). Being creative without being ugly is something creators ought to strive for.
I have to revisit it just for the whole fight and how he says yata's first name, Mi. Sa. ki!, actually his whole voice during the entire scene.
You should watch it ASAP; it's both my favorite Akio Sugino work and my favorite Dezaki work.
A noble goal.

I try and hold back my enthusiasm.
Doesn't help nothing really stuck after watching the episode.

A bunch of boring stuff, then a (neat) action scene and then it got boring again. At least the action lasted a bit longer, and the animation still looked great, where did they get the budget from? I expect the show to be all action from episode 7 onward or else I'll be really unsatisfied.

Nice selection. I love Watanabe, his girls <3 You know, Watanabe reminds me a lot of Kuuchuu Yousai's work. He did the art for Djibril, and I think I was actually getting the two mixed up in my head when I was looking through some images.
Wait... Nurse Witch Komugi is one of Watanabe's... this is.. wait, who is this costume-wearing, sometimes-tanned, DFC hottie?? Be still... my beating heart.

I really hope it gets expanded to a second season or something. But I like the random landscape views they give especially the underside of the bridge they also show.
Awashima's moment felt kind of unnecessary looking back.
I'm pretty sure episode 4 has an amazing fight sequence in it.

Dude, the show is 90% unnecessary looking stuff...
With all the talk about Mr. Dezaki & Mr. Sugino, I'll use the opportunity to shoe-in again the Treasure Island opening, just because it is that amazing and loved

Boy, do all the good links I had of it have disappeared overnight or what? I ain't been lucky searching for videos lately! Other one I posted before (http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=26782972&postcount=144) looked much, much better!

You have chosen poorly, I'm afraid to say. Actually, I'm not afraid to say.
