Sure why not. Just for you, we'll make it extra frilly.

I was thinking more along the lines of assless chaps but, sure, that works too. And besides, it should be part of the regular uniform's design anyway.

 

[Dina]

Steins Gate? Do you have everyone else but I9 on ignore?

No but I need something to counter the character driven drama

 

[trejo]

Then Dororon Enma-kun is a much better option.

 

[Steroyd]

[C]

This will either be awesome, or an awesome trainwreck, either way this is going to be awesome.

Hidan No Aria

The most notable thing about the episode was that upwind blows her hair up vertically, but never blows her skirt up vertically, physics, how does it work?

 

[Lafiel]

Then Dororon Enma-kun is a much better option.

Or C dammit!

 

[Osaka]

I dont understand why people keep saying C is ugly. When I watched it last night none of the CG didnt really stand out to me as ugly or anything.

 

[Jex]

Dororon 2

More demons, more hammers, more fanservice. This show understands what it is very well.

CG is always ugly in anime it's a matter of which is less ugly than the others, C's CG stands out even more than usual.

 

[Osaka]

None of the screenshots above seem ugly to me, so I guess I'm just luckier than you guys.

Spirited Away and Macross Plus say you're not entirely correct!

[C] isn't appalling but it is ugly.

macross zero really nicely the integrated cg into the 2d animation

 

[pieatorium]

C 1
Not sure about this one, kinda interseting setup but all this financial stuff is like code for random electric sword duels + familiars?


Too many shows that are at least decent so far this season so the usual cull the turds after 2-3 eps will become cull stuff I actually like, still more stuff I haven't gotten around to/havent started yet too.

 

[Steroyd]

Screenshots suck at showing CG's ugly form.

Looked like they used a PS2 to make the CG.

Bah it always feel like cheating when someone uses the Ghibli card. The CG in C isn't even attemptiing to blend into the 2D animation, which puts me off more than other shows attempts.

 

[shintoki]

C's CG isn't Giant Killing bad. I can accept it.

Really enjoyed the first episode.

 

[7Th]

The ugliest part of C isn't even the CG, you know.

 

[Steroyd]

Denpa Onna - 01

Dat opening, DAT OPENING, OH GOD MY EARS!

Aging in anime is broken.

There it is! The one hundred thirty five degree Shaft neck twist!!

You're right. The part that weirded me out in C were the eyes of the protagonist.

So anyway, what else is worth watching than these:

Toriko
C
X-Men
Kaiji

I'm not really into the whole lolimoestuff so none of that please

Hanasaku Iroha and Dororon Enma Kun, Tiger and Bunny has had a solid 2 episodes as well.

[duckroll]

My Last Day -Jesus Animu-



So they got 4c to do it? Could be interesting.

Thanks for the link. I just watched it, and liked it quite a lot. It's pretty good anime preparation for Holy Week next week! I could do without the lame CG cloud transition near the end though, but err whatever. It was pretty violent though!

 

[Sage00]

Dororon Enma-kun 1 & 2

Fun show. Lots of nice moments, great art of course. I'll definitely keep watching. Can't help but feel it's disappointing in comparison to the Re:Cutie Honey OVAs though. The faster, Panty & Stocking esque pace of those seemed to suit Go Nagai's style much better than this effort, especially in the battle sequences. It's just less funny.

Nichijou 2

Much improved over episode 1. Business as usual at KyoAni, can't say much wrong. I hope they don't keep pulling that "here's one interestingly/weirdly animated scene per ep" trick, it has shades of Lucky Star but this show should be aiming much higher than that.

 

[jman2050]

Spring 2011 is stacked with some pretty interesting shows, even though I think it leans a bit far towards the dramatic side. Oh well.

Wasn't Madoka originally supposed to be a spring show? How crazy would this season be if THAT happened?

This.

Guess that’s rie kugimiya(not so obvious) , don't tell she plays yet another tsundere(at least she doesn't look like a 4 year old)

Pretty sure that's not Rie Kugimiya.

who is it then?

It's Kana Asumi, not teh rie. Not sure if she's a tsun-tsun or not, I didn't watch Amamagimi.

Better call firehawek12!

 

[mollipen]

Amagami is the show with this character, right? I know nothing about the show, but I've seen her everywhere and am quite a fan of the character design. (Plus, if I dyed my hair black it would probably be the spitting image of hers in its current stage.)

She might turn out to be a little tsun-tsun in her extra episode but in the series she's pretty much just an energetic little sister.

stein; gate
bananas x microwave + time travel = awesome time

has anyone body watched amagami ss then?

 

[hosannainexcelsis]

Wow, was that made to proselytize to Japanese audiences?

More or less. Both The Flying House and its companion series Superbook were an attempt to counteract the low mind-share of Christianity in Japan by teaching young children Bible stories. I watched them quite a bit growing up, and while not great they do get the job done.

My Last Day, on the other hand, is quite good. Short, simple, but effective. And appropriate for this time of year.

It was pretty violent though!

At least not as violent as The Passion of the Christ!

 

[Master Milk]

I watched it. It's crap, don't waste your time.

Meaning they "worked" as it were? You know, I'm surprised there isn't a Left Behind anime, since that seems a bit synergistic for that specific purpose.

Yeah, although she looks weird in that pic for some reason.

Niishishishishi.

Dissonant styles aren't uncommon and a few are famous for them. It's a manner of expressing something that "normal" music can't. It's just not often you hear something sung this legato in such a high pitch, so I can see how it would annoy, but the vocal style was done by design. I think the song fits the show really well, personally, especially with how SparklesInMoonlight speaks, and the lyrics more or less are about the MC being the only one who bothers to talk to the blue haired pariah. I'm sorry all music can't be a Hallelujah Chorus to your ears.

I have no problem with dissonance. I enjoy composers such as Schoenberg or Messiaen who use creative and adventurous sonorities to create bewitching sound worlds. But if you strip away the poor performance from the Denpa OP, it's just a standard pop song. It's rhythmically stagnant, harmonically restricted to a few basic triadic progressions, and melodically built around repetitive motives. Musically the only interesting part is the contrast between the heavy and dark instrumental accompaniment and the very high and hollow solo vocalist.

I'm not sure what you're talking about with the vocal style, since it sounds pretty non-legato to me. What bothers me most about the soloist's singing is how physically unhealthy it is. There's no breath support; she's just forcing the sound straight through a tense throat and pinched nose. She's going to exhaust her voice trying to keep that up, so hopefully it's not how she sings all the time.

I'm sure everything is intentional and that this song fits its lyrics and Denpa Onna very well. But out of context, it's just a bad song.

 

[KuwabaraTheMan]

Ano Hana whatever 1:
Decent first episode. Menma is kind of annoying (

Spoiler

I'm not big on the whole 'ghost keeps saying things to the person who can hear him/her causing them to repeatedly embarrass themselves' trope

), but the concept is pretty interesting and I thought there were some strong moments in the episode.

 

[Kettch]

Steins Gate has been really good so far. Gotten bigger laughs from it than anything else this season, which I definitely wasn't expecting.

Still not sure if I should keep watching or just wait for a translation of the visual novel though. This seems like the type that would be really difficult to faithfully adapt.

 

[Dresden]

Also, I told you so.

I bow to your wisdom.

As for Steins Gate, I'm not digging it but I'll keep watching, because the VN isn't going to be translated anytime soon. It's just been utterly uninteresting so far; the one part that could've gone somewhere--the 'debate' between Kurisu and Okarin--was apparently cut short.

It was hilarious and educational! Kurisu totally dominated Okabe at every turn in her reasoning. "Isn't that right Hououin-san?" So malicious, so good. She even burned him with a Back to the Future reference.

Hidan no Aria Episode 1

Watch it, to see how bad it is, its even worse then i thought.

Tsundere girl could be the worse yet with lines like "love is rubbish" shm and it had end with "kinji become my slave" which made think i haven't watched this before (toradora and znt)


what show was it that was made by the people who made toradora?

edit: thanks flawfuls

going to watch that, then denpa onna and dogs days after

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

So my current Spring line up is as follows:

Madoka (lol)
Hanasaku Iroha
Tiger & Bunny
Nichijou
The World God Only Knows II

Currently on hold/dropped:

Steins Gate will read weekly opinions just to see if this goes anywhere, sorry I9 =(

About to watch for the hell of it:

C:
Denpa Onna to Seishun Otoko Episode 1
Hidan no Aria Episode 1
Ano Hi Mita

[C]

This will either be awesome, or an awesome trainwreck, either way this is going to be awesome.

Win/Win situation!

Really? I cant remember any LoL moments in any of the episodes. What I did see was some slow story telling. I know they are building up to something, but right now it seems like they fill half the show with inane crap.

What was the point with the scene with Ruka. Is this character gonna be relevant later on in the series? What was up with the debate in the classroom. Why didnt we see any of it. Why didnt they shorten the Ruka scene and flesh out the debate instead?

Then they try to leave off with a cliff hanger ending with the bananas. Oh noes the bananas are on the desk. Strange? Yes? Do I care? No.

Ill give it 1 more episode to catch my attention.
