Between this and doing the production work for the Chinese does this mean Madhouse is going to become the next Gonzo?

That was the payoff I was waiting for. So satisfying.
Panty and Stocking 1
I wanted to see what all the fuss was about first-hand. I lasted about 10 minutes. This show is an ode to everything I hate the most in animation. Even with gloves on, I don't think I could touch this toxic waste again with a ten-foot pole. Bravo, Gainax, you've repulsed me yet again.

Here's what I expect from Blade: Fuck awesome voice cast, and LOLZ drama/action dialed up to the 9s. Similar to Wolverine, what they're doing here is pairing a relatively unknown director who has done some Madhouse shit in the past with a relatively well known gore-fest Japanese live action writer. The results should be just as cheesy and hilarious.
The only question here is whether Madhouse is actually going to back this up with animation. If not, then it'll be another Wolverine. If they do, it could be.... err.... a little more interesting I guess, if the action is any good. Lol.

Miyu cares deeply about all...well, basically only children/young girls. That's unfortunate for the rest of the populous. Not to mention darkly humorous.
I like the way this show plays on the notion that

I like the way this show plays on the notion that
cats are somewhat insidious and then works the idea up to it's logical conclusion. Neat.

I assumed we couldn't top the insane action and beautiful animation from the last episode. I assumed wrong because this episode is all about aeroplanes. Everyone knows that if there's one thing Miyazaki loves, it's things that fly in the sky, especially models from a certain era.
Therefore it won't come as a surprise to say this episode is amazing. What is slightly surprising is when Mrs. Hudson
. This is the catalyst for a number of awesome scenes. As is the case with many Miyazaki action sequences what really stands-out is the inventiveness and creativity put into the scenes themselves. They're easily some of the best I've seen.

I'm not going to say it's poorly made technically, but that Cartoon Network style of animation it's using has never appealed to me. It's too spare and angular. Plus the constant barrage of crass, juvenile humor really gets on my nerves; it feels like it was made by a bunch of preteens trying to be "edgy", who think excrement by itself is hilarious. If you guys all say the second half of the episode is much better, I'll give it one more go. It can't get much worse anyway.

Well it is much better but that doesn't necessarily make it great, because the first episode is awful. There are some legitimately great episodes later on though.hosannainexcelsis said:
Because of all the different writers and directors there's episodes that I really enjoy and episodes that I hate, it's pretty scattershot throughout the series.

Panty and Stocking 1-2
Well, that wasn't as terrible as the first half at least. It even managed to have one or two moments I liked looking at - the point where the animation was abstracted to show the speed of the train was nice. I still don't like the overall style and all the humor falls flat, especially Panty's all too obvious innuendo. I'm willing to watch more if Jexhius or someone can give me a short list of good episodes though.

Jealous neighbor girl appears! This should be entertaining.

Indeed.
hosannainexcelsis said:
My list (some may be missing becuase i cant be bothered to remember them)
Obligatory Episode 6 post.
3rd part of Episode 10.
2nd part of Episode 12
Final Ep is cool as well for the ending.
This series is really divisive though so expect lots of different suggestions

There really isn't a consensus except for episode 6 and maybe the last 2 episodes. I'm sure amongst the recommendations, every episode will show up at least once.
Hidan No Aria: 1-7
Last night I peeked in here and saw a couple gifs and you all mentioning it so I figured what the hell I'll check it it. Watched all 7 so far between today and yesterday and it's pretty funny but the plot is confusing. I just hope it doesn't get "weird" from here on in.

Sherlock Holmes the 4th? Really? Did NOT see that coming. Lol.

Well they didn't handle the prologue and chapter 1 stuff too well. It could have gotten better since I stopped watching out of fear of the anime spoiling game story to me!Miri said:

I watched the first few episodes but Ive fallen way behind. Ill catch up at some point though. I definitely liked what I saw though.
Articalys said:
Having never played the game, I didn't like it. It started out interestingly enough, but I felt like it kind of fell apart as the show went on. I think part of the problem was too few episodes, a lot of the plot felt rushed.

Sounds like a ep to start my run on
Miri said:
Wasn't that great last the time i heard.
I saw a few episodes but I kinda got the impression that this is one of those things where it'd be better to play the VN first so I stopped.GTP_Daverytimes said:
I haven't seen it but my brother watched a few episodes last I checked and complained about the changes they made.Miri said:

Everyone is just joking around. Don't let it get to you. Yes, animegaf is brutal, but they're rarely serious. No need to get banned again over this, so you should probably edit that.
