You are experiencing Gundam SEED in its purist form, absolute frustration. The good aspects of that show are interesting, but the bad aspects are close to absolute garbage. The only reason it's not the worst Gundam show is that Destiny, 00 Season 2, Age and ZZ exist. ZZ is arguable. It's about on the same level as SEED. Oh well, at least SEED has nice suits, if their proportions are a bit off.

The art is wildly inconsistent. The previous episode looked a lot better in comparison.

Pet Girl of Sakurasou 7
Mixed feelings over the episode, hated the fact they threw in fanservice stuff again to get in the way of plot
. Though the basis of the episode with Imouto were pretty hilarious at times, well her reactions and then how she caused the others to respond, even if it made me want to throw my sackboy at the screen, why cant these female character be independent or something
.
Best moment
And then all those visual genjutsus were great.

that swift panty shot and then the girl on girl action in the hot bath, why :/

and cant for get Nancy and the other girl driving lessons, lol, and wait Ryuunosuke is a girl, form what Imouto said?!

I'm still liking this show despite what anyone says. I dunno, it just does a good job of scratching my adventurous animu itch to the point where it's easy to overlook its flaws and just enjoy the ride. I suppose it also helps that I don't get bent out of shape when an adaptation doesn't follow the source material to a T.
Mostly, though, it's because of Mor.

Still the non-HD. Will HD change the plot? Is it in English on Youtube?
I mean, I like it, but MAN I JUST WANT THEM ALL TO GET SLAPPED. I'm sticking with this so I can find out how Kira becomes who he is in Destiny. In Destiny he seemed really cold and reserved, and that's NOT how he is now.
Man, rewatching Eva is like falling in love all over again. Same feeling I got from Cowboy Bebop. It's just such a rare feeling nowadays. This season, JoJo has done that for me. Before that, it was probably when I was reading Hunter x Hunter. It's this feeling that keeps me coming back to TV. When you really click with a show, it's just right.
And at the end of the episode the cripple girl is in critical condition too...
Daaaamn it.
I think I'm going to get back on this show soon, if not tomorrow.

This episode was really faithful, though. People are complaining more about the miscast voices and the direction I guess.
For what it's worth, I liked the episode too.

Legal streaming sites should be okay. Checking Hulu, Funimation, and Crunchyroll and they are up.
I forget if it was you that recommended me Toriko
but man, I cant get over the fact that the entire premise is based around Poaching rare animals
God NAtsume is soooo adorable.
Yeah, it's a real shame.
Nah. Shaft makes money. They will make the show a success.
Ok, so if Black Lagoon is already shipping out, this comes out tomorrow, and Bakemonagatari set comes out tomorrow too, that means they can finally ship my order
(a very expensive order)Ive been wondering this too lately. My friend has a bunch of old artbooks and Im super jelly.
Its not like shaft hasn't made awesome hair before. They are actually pretty good at it.

Dat CG pen:
The music direction was nice in this episode I guess? They threw in whatever sounded American, but obviously wouldn't actually pay to license any real songs, so it was just amusing.

this is not how you argue a point

All I'm gonna say is the 2 weeks wait was so worth it. Fantastic episode.

I don't see what that has to do with the animation quality.

It gets a bit more complicated than that, but yeah that's the basic idea. Of course, there are actual villains that you will see soonish.
Technically the stuff they hunt isn't endangered, just extremely strong or hard to get to. The villains of the show are the real poaching types, like they will kill shit even if they don't need to and stuff.
the intro episodes were really strange for me
It starts with a One Piece crossover and then goes straight into it without showing how these characters met. Kind of confusing.
well I guess ill keep watching

Because what else is there to do on a plane but watch anime?
I feel bad now for never getting past the first few minutes every other time I've tried to watch this show. I blame the awful CG space ships.
This is ridiculously good so far, the interwoven-ness of the alien plotline and the human plotline works really well, there's a slight air of realism to the human parts that really sells the characters, and the animation is gorgeous. There's still flaws, the fanservice is somewhat excessive, Shyamalan is a little too out there, but this is shaping up to be one of my favorite series in quite a while.

I love this show, so much better than that terrible R.O.D. thing.

Shaft has great animation quality.
I love R.O.D. a ton but yeah You're Under Arrest is an absolute classic.
Why do people hate ROD so much? It was very very well received when it came out.
Yomiko is one of the worst characters ever, and the plot is nonsensical, but not in an entertaining way.
Da fuck?
Problem? doesn't get more manly then men hunting rare animals and killing them with their bare hands in order to satisfy their insatiable appetite.
LOL, is that an accidental clone stamp? how does that make it into the final product?
primal doesn't necessarily equate to manliness

Junk. Trash. Garbage. I'd keep going but then I'd be repeating myself more than this show. The behavior of the main characters in this episode is inconsiderate, confrontational, and generally just nonsensical. Fortunately none of it ever matters because nothing in this show ever changes, and there are no consequences to anything that occurs. The scenes that were supposed to be dramatic all felt awful, and their simplicity always led to one party being to blame. It wound up being situations without tension or depth that I found it impossible to engage with.

This was a very amusing episode. Besides the extremely boring plot of more imouto action, they really livened it up with a crazy amount of visual and some sound gags all over the episode. Hell even the loosey B-plot was fun and wacky and pretty non expected from the get go.

I honestly disagree with every single part of this post.
Yomiko is a total cutie, especially her British dub. HNNNNGH. Love me some Yomiko.
The plot is indeed nonsensical in a way but its a show where characters can control paper like a superpower simply because they have a supreme love of books. Its crazy, fun, enjoyable stuff. One of the most creative animes Ive ever seen.

Fucking best episode so far. The show keeps on being more entertaining during the first halves than the second ones, but at least they spiced it up a little now.
I am also proud to admit I finally beat Cure Peace at Rock, Paper, Scissors! So ultra-happy.
Jesus Christ how terrifying.
Antennae? In 2012? When is Japan gonna go digital?
Motherfucking sorcery, that's what that is.

Meat taste so good.
no, I love meat
im not going to support people killing whales or tigers, though
you make it sound like being a vegetarian is a bad thing
There pretend whales so it's okay
pretend or not, its the light in which they portray it
pedo incest anime for example, its not a positive existence no matter how you spin it
You are literally the second person I have ever heard of that didnt like ROD.
Im honestly fascinated with how different this forum is from pretty much everywhere else.
I liked the ROD Ova. Saw it several times, and I think it's highly enjoyable. ZA PEIPAH!
The OAVs had a considerably different tone than the start of the tv series. Think of MSN: Prince of Darkness v. Martian Successor Nadeisco the tv series.
"this forum" what? Plenty of people like the ROD ovas here.
This is up there with the Guilty Crown > Eva post in terms of wtfness.

I think he means that the fact there are any dissenters at all makes this place different.
I like ROD. Both the TV Show and OVAs were harmless fun, though the OVA substantially better. Music was fantastic, though.
