The show itself is fine... I guess it'll come down to how that weird tea club anime goes though.

You mean Sadon Desu? The anime that had an entirely fake Twitter account passing itself off as the real thing for months and which has no actual release date or real confirmation that it is going to be made?

Just caught up on the thread, but I'm pretty sure this is the only post that REALLY matters:



AW HELLS YEAH. There is hope for the world yet.

Also read the Nanana spoilers people have been discussing and am now fully prepared to rage when I actually watch the episode. Do we seriously have TWO shows this season where one of the cutest girls is
both voiced by HanaKana and a trap
?! What did we do to deserve this kind of torment?!

WHAT DO YOU MEAN TWO SHOWS?

GIVE IT TO ME

Everytime you criticize Baby Steps I die a little inside, but then I see the other shows you watch and are praising/not as critical on, and I die even more.
I'm extra hard on sports shows, the same way that the PreCure brigade are extra hard on mahou shoujos. lol

Ah, so it's a fraud! The chart is full of lies!

Gochuumon wa Usagi Desu Ka? 2

Cuteness. Already having trouble thinking of things to actually say about this show. It's enjoyably adorable, but it doesn't feel like it's doing anything much to stand out from the crowd so far.
 
In a movie where say a random actress appears in skimpy outfit for fanservice I could see why you would still watch the film. It doesn't revolve around that and you don't tend to have people go "go watch this movie, there's a scene with boobies!". But like you said I don't get it. For me when there's perverted stuff in a show it actually detracts from the score, not add to it.

A friend of mine just showed me a trailer for Lucy. My first thought: That's anime as fuck!

I need this right now inside me.

Nice to see Hitomi finally remembering she left her life and people she cares about on Earth, even if it was only for a second. I swear It was like she completely forgot she was supposed to try and get back home.

I miss Dilandau, hope he comes back soon.

Ryuugajou Nanana no Maizoukin 2

Yyyyyyyep,
creating such an adorable brown KanaHana maid character and then calling it a guy
is basically a crime against humanity. I feel for you, MC-kun.

Thankfully, though, Tensai is more than awesome enough to take up the best girl mantle in her place. As for the events of the episode, that treasure room was certainly an entertaining first challenge, and the first actual Nanana Collection item we got to see was pretty cool too. Looking forward to seeing more of both. This show is fun.
 
Captain Earth 2
Somewhat enjoying this show. The main character isn't exactly an idiot or a coward so that's good. zthe main girl looks nice and the robot fight was decent. The boomerang thing is a little stupid though

Inugami-san to Nekoyama-san 2

Two more animal-themed girls - we now have a mouse and...a cow? Well, it's in her name, so I presume that's meant to be her theme. I can't say the resemblance seems as obvious as the other three.

I enjoy how completely and unashamedly into each other all these girls are. I really wish the episodes were longer, though.

To be real for a sec, there's a bunch of 50s-70s shows that I've only seen a few episodes of that I would consider "necessary" to understand American culture and the history of the medium. What's weird is that there's a generation that will miss out on 80s television, which is arguably the most important decade of television in terms of not just the standards being set, but also what 90s and 00s television reacted against.

But I mean, watching episodes of All in the Family is just not as exciting as watching Game of Thrones, although clearly one is infinitely better than the other.

Ping of the Pong 2
What can I say? This is really the best sports show that I've seen since Ace wo Nerae... to the point where I think Smile is basically a male Oka. The show seems to be a show about sports psychology rather than shounen power ups and tepid bromances, and you see the sport being used to reveal genuine aspects of a character's psychological state and background rather than simply have the sport around for the sake of sports porn.

As an aside, I thought this little bit of foreshadowing was clever. Yeah, it made for a somewhat comedic aside, but taken in context with the second half of the episode? Hah.

Arbitrary ranking time:
Ping Pong > Teppu > Baby Steps >= Haikyuu.

After GOlden Time, I think we all get freaked out by tea clubs.
 
Black Bullet 1

I really like the show's premise. It's on the level of Blue Gender / Attack on Titan where humanity has little to no hope for survival. Though this show has lolis.
 
Thats not licensed in Europe?
I think thats a criminal offense.
That's exactly what i'm saying.
Hopefully DB, DBZ, Battle of Gods (Assuming licensed/released), and for giggles, GT.
Don't do GT !! it's just too painfull.

I hate this part, if only for the fact
that by altering destiny , they are stripping us of our best ending ( in the quick premonition , they are were doing a flawless victory ) and in the end we only got a "victory".
 
RahXephon 19

I hate seeing such obvious death flags :(

The reporter/detective remains one of the show's best characters btw.

Yeah I liked him. I liked a lot of side characters except the douchey pretty boy doctor guy. But that's more due to (obvious spoilers)
him still having feelings for main girl even though she only dated him cause he reminded her of protag
 
Black Bullet 2
Thoughts during episode:

- Starting to notice how all Japanese schools have the same school bell.
- The OP is growing on me.
- Heh. These other dudes are pretty cool.
- This villain is awesome!
- Just spewing awesome all over.
- Lol. They love messing with each other.
- Enju's grin. :]
- Whoa. That got dark.
- :/
- "Elder's" voice sounds really familiar.
- Aw what? Your gonna end it on that?
- I like this ED.

Summary:

Well the show is a lot darker then it let on in its first episode. The dynamic between Cursed Children and the world is not all sunshine and rainbows like we were lead to believe in the first episode.

I really like Enju. She's very lively. Which made an impact in this episode when she
got upset and ran off
.

The main villain is very menacing and looks like it will have a good dynamic between him and the MC. A lot of back and forth between them I feel will keep the show alive. The fights are short which is a shame because when they do start it's cool. I can't wait until we see a more full fledged fight.

If you're going to go through that much effort to see fan service, why not just watch porn?
The eternal question. Maybe to continue Extollere's legacy?

Dilandau is one of the better reasons to watch Escaflowne. Also, it's "The Vision" not "The Legend".
