This episode definitely gives off some vibes of Zero no Tsukaima's final season. The show's ability to have most of its dialogue be explaining things about the world instead of expanding on the characters bugs me a bit, but there's enough small character moments in between, and compared to Mahouka it's fine. I'm also starting to feel bad for Anya. She has nowhere else to go and is stuck working for these lunatics.

I-I think I want to watch that Overman King Gainer show now. But it was directed by Tomino, who apparently has a bad reputation here.
But that hilarious opening though. I can't get it out of my head. Is Overman King Gainer one of Tomino's good shows?

I know I did it.
Tomino's definitely directed some bad stuff, but it's not like everything he's done is bad. I really liked Zeta Gundam and Char's Counterattack.
On the other hand, he made Victory Gundam and Garzey's Wing. I guess that really tips it in one direction.
Haven't seen the show you're talking about though, so I can't comment.

8 had some really pretty lighting. I like how it subverted a lot of expectations about beach episodes. But romcom pacing is a drag.
That's why 9 was really nice. Even without considering how it finished, the developments between Shogo and Saki were the first real change to the character dynamics in that group since Saki was first introduced. But I was surprised by how much the finish got to me.
That said, while those last minutes worked well, I really don't want the show to dwell too much on Fujimiya's past trauma, because that could strain my credulity pretty easily.

I was actually pretty mad at Kujo, even though he couldn't have known that his spite had given Fujimiya magical brain damage. With all the progress that had happened, it was easy to forget just how fragile things were.

Yes, the band name is "Fear, and Loathing in Las Vegas". In addition to the Kaiji S2 OP "Chase the Light", they also did the first ED for Hunter x Hunter 2011, "Just Awake".
This is apparently the song that Brynhildr is going to use, "Virtue and Vice":

New Aldnoah Zero key visuals: http://www.aldnoahzero.com/
The first one reminds me a lot of a Patlabor setting. Hopefully the show captures at least some of that, where the mechs are also machines which have to be maintained by people. The second one has really natural and interesting expressions. Not something you usually see in an anime group pose of this sort.

I really like the character designs. Hope the mech scenes use a mixture of 2D and CGI.
2D when stills, CGI when movement?

Daimidaler 10 just went and changed up the whole fucking show again. lol
Seriously, this show has ended up being a much better VVV. Such dumb fun.

Wow, finals were pretty annoying this semester, but now I can watch anime again(
).
This is great, while I'm away some people starting Touch, what do you guys think about the music? I really like Kazuya and Tatsuya themes and Ohayou no asa, I always imagined someone running with a keyboard following kacchan playing it. lol
Basileus777 :
The first movie is a compilation movie of the first year of Touch. Contain plot differences, added scenes and an alternate ending. Nothing really special in my opinion, I'm not a fan of compilation movies, I would always recommend to watch the series first and if you want to watch the movie, do it afterward. Then you have the second and third movie where they do what they want with the second and third years of the story. But the fourth and the last movie are sequels to the final of the manga( The manga has one more arc than the anime.) I would recommend you watch them after you end the anime. :3
Good, good now I need Admiral Wolfdawg to keep his promise and watch it too.
like I even stopped watching in the first place, I think the semester got harder because of this...and games...Mario Kart 8, Love Live...

Adachi couldn't fool you or hide that death flag( Wakaba was so cute in that first episode just to die...T___T), but episode 25-26 are really great in the respect you pointed, the scene in the hospital is really amazing.

Well it's Gen Urobuchi as the creator for this one, so I think that's a safe bet. Dude also did Madoka and Fate Zero.
He also did Psycho-Pass. I didn't think it was that bad, but it had some pretty dumb moments.
The director is the same as FateZero though, so it could turn out pretty good. I'm looking forward to it.

Needed to be lower.
Such a terrible season
Deserves every one of those sales.
Wish it was higher so a S2 would be more likely.
Unlike WA2, I really wouldn't be surprised if this got a S2.

It sounds like the movies are worth a watch, though I still have 60 episodes left in the TV series, so I should be busy for a while. And yes, the background music in this has stood out. I actually meant to post about it, but I forgot.
I'll take Sachiko.
Don't forget he also directed Ga-Rei-Zero. lol
I thought Ga-Rei Zero was pretty fun. Nothing amazing, but a decent action series. That's how I remember it, anyway.
He also directed Wandering Son (which I absolutely loved), so for me the good outweighs the bad. This project's a toss-up though, so we'll have to see.
Ga-rei Zero are very good, especially compared to the material source.. Its comparable to Code Breaker's anime that adored in here IMO.
Does super-resolute Ms. Hudson counts? She was virtually a product of the 80s:

welp Sherlock Hound just moved up in the backlog queue by several spots
Same. Would've liked a S2, but I wonder how they'd handle the different routes.

Source for the movie being successful, of course. Or at least the movie's box office numbers. I mean, Nadesico wasn't a franchise tied to a single person. It's really hard to believe that it'd just end if the movie were successful, especially considering how open the movie's ending seemed to be.

And got that out of my system. That music video segment at the start was a little weird, with the obviously CGI characters not blending with the more traditional 2D animation that the rest of the episode contained. Once it finished and the story began in earnest, I can see why Ayano was so beloved. Anyone who encourages people via Sentai/Rider motifs is a friend of mine. The story being told through the epilogues also has some in-world context at this point. And of course, everything is Shafty as possible. Of all the Saturday shows, this has given me the most to think about.
Snake? Snake? SNAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE.
I wasn't necessarily commenting about its quality but sure, I was fine with it.
Get on it soon, please... I would even recommend for every person interested in the series the theatrical adaptation as a first contact with the work (http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=85279717&postcount=213), but sadly for you those episodes it adapts are low on Ms. Hudson's presence.
Oh, the nostalgia! :'-)

New Aldnoah Zero stuff has me wary that it's moe girls with robots. Way to anime. You better wow me with a trailer and not have them do cute shit.

The girls actually look 20+, though. I think that's refreshing. Moe aside.

I am so curious now lol
I haven't even started episode 2 yet.
Very cool! Have they commented something about a possible Blu-ray release? The closeness of that release to the BANDAI Visual's BD-BOX one (http://www.bandaivisual.co.jp/index?act=detail&ino=BCXA-0908) made me think that they could be using the new master transfer.

If it wasn't for that hot springs scene (which had them wearing things in the bath anyway), I wouldn't have had a lot to say. Something about magic in cars, magic in a room. Much like last time, I wonder when the title of the arc is going to come into play and they get to the metaphorical fireworks factory. Buildup is good. All the best stories need it. But as of so far, this show seems to be nothing but buildup.

The trailer shown so far is pretty usual mecha warfare tho.
I haven't seen a thing sadly. I usually only find this stuff out by occasionally peeking at their facebook page!
