What I didn't like about Code Geass was that it was such a blatant copy of Guilty Crown, it even patterned Shirley after Hare.
Tell me about it.
They're totally going after that worst girl lovers audience.

I'm pretty sure that none of Akira is on ones either. It just has incredibly detailed keyframes for the entire duration of the movie. As the saying goes, quality over quantity, etc.
I'm pretty sure you'd have to go back to early 60s Toei Doga films and limited time shorts (modern day) to find Japanese animation on ones. In general, it's a waste of money, time, and energy. Frame count doesn't really matter.
I always found it more productive to just open terminal and run mplayer inside the package if I'm going to be doing stuff like that. All the same, it is true you don't have selectable command line options.

Tasogare Otome x Amnesia 3 - Woah, this episode was amazing! Seriously, best episode of this series yet, by far. This was a really impressive episode with a very strong story, good visuals, and good character interactions, too. Great work!
This episode introduces the third girl, who is Yuuko's sister's granddaughter. Oh, and Yuuko's sister
too. The new girl can see ghosts, but doesn't acknowledge their existence be because she thinks they're probably evil or at least up to no good. In this episode, she influences the MC against Yuuko, and there's a bit of a crisis between the two of them...
Fortunately he overcomes them in the end, and things return to normal, just with another character... or do they? Not exactly, there are many more mysteries to come.
In addition, another couple of theories of what happened to Yuuko and how she ended up dying in that basement room begin to be presented, here.
"What happened to Yuuko" is of course teh show's central mystery, though, so I don't expect to learn the whole truth for quite some time. There are a lot of mysteries to work through
... Yeah, I have trouble seeing this series end with anything other than tears, but we'll see, no way to know for sure at the moment. Either way though, this is really good. I just hope it stays as good as this episode was.
This is wrong. As I said earlier in the thread, the Bodacious Space Pirates anime covers three books of the eight that have been published, at a pace of about 6 episodes a book. Apparently the final quarter of the anime's going to be new material, and there are now eight books out; when they started working on the anime back in '09, there were only three.
So yes, there is plenty of material, if the show does well enough to get the second season it so very very much deserves.

runs the school
It's quite interesting how the attitude of the person looking at her determines what they see. His fears lead to a real, big change in how he sees her.
In addition, another couple of theories of what happened to Yuuko and how she ended up dying in that basement room begin to be presented, here.
-First, it could be an accident. Her leg was broken, so maybe she couldn't move, and starved to death or something with no one knowing she was there.
-But... there's a creepy shrine in that same room, in the gloom, too. Is it REALLY a coincidence that she's there, in the same room as that thing? That does seem to make it less likely, and there's a rumor that the school was built on top of an old temple site too that could be connected to this...
-Or it could be something else, not revealed yet.

Episode 3's even better. Blows away the first two episodes combined, I think, and I liked ep. 1 well enough.
Yeah, if those two scenes felt a bit out of place... yeah, they were. I'm not sure why they were included; either they're not sure if there's ever going to be a second anime based on the main Saki series and they want to cover a few of the basic points of what the main cast is doing after the first anime, or they want to have a bit of Saki in there because this show IS going to cover the finals so they'll reappear there, or maybe something else. I don't know, we'll have to see.
I mourn for how great this would be as a 2-cour show.
Absolutely, those things are all pretty annoying issues for sure. More episodes would indeed fix all of them.They could fit in more characterisation to make the characters more three-dimensional and full of personality. and also not have to skip so many rounds. The skipping really annoys me
Yup. It's still very good, but not quite as great as the original. (Oh, and I like the main series' art a bit more than Achiga's, I think, too...)
What, there isn't a consensus to disagree all the time?Why would you expect animeGAF to have a consensus about anything?
Fanservicey shots like that are rare in the show, it's mostly reasonably classy I think... but yeah, it is good. Not great, and somewhat generic, but good enough to keep watching certainly.
Yeah, I used to have problems like those in those pictures, in VLC, but not anymore.
Okay.....is it considered derogatory?
I agree with these impressions. Episode 1 was super ehhh, episode 2 was good (certainly should have been episode 1 as mentioned before) but episode 3, man, that quality just shot way upward.

I take this episode of a sign of good things to come.
That was kind of a roller coaster. First,
Or is she?
Awesome random cosplay. Good taste.
And Ledouche
Meanwhile, CC comes to save the day like a true white knight for the third time.
I wonder what's their story together.

Can we really put Shirley past behind us now?
That was kind of a roller coaster. First,
Shirley surprisingly did the right thing and shot the chick who found out Zero's identity (although she couldn't really nail it, as expected). Then, she was exposed by the crazy guy. And, finally... She forgot everything about Ledouche! Yes! The worst haremette is gone.
Or is she?
Awesome random cosplay. Good taste.
And Ledouche
finally found a rival up to his level... Or above his level, seemingly.

This episode is for Shirley and Ledouche.
So yeah, some growth stuff, not counting the new antagonist
that was used as a means to get the two together. Also seems to have a fond connection with C.C. Hmmm, shall be fleshed out later, no doubt.
Anyways, not a Shirley fan, but I guess she needed this.
May it never be picked up again in favor of more Pizza Hut and mech fights.
I like this C.C. outfit so I have put it as my screen cap instead of something more related/significant to the story
This episode is for Shirley and Ledouche.
He recognizes that she cared enough to shoot someone else just to protect his identity and being. She recognizes that life goes on and that there is always light at the end of the darkness (in regards to her father's death and her want of love reciprocity from Ledouche)
So yeah, some growth stuff, not counting the new antagonist
Mao

I don't think it necessarily doesn't matter, it's just not worth it for the vast majority of anime because the quality wouldn't be high enough anyway.

The fourth episode of Natsuiro Kiseki convinced me to keep watching it even after the mess that was the third one. I hope we never see those little kids again, haha.
Yes...I know Hasuta is a boy. I thought the character was a girl at first because of his voice (like Mahiro). I did not mean the word in a derogatory way.
Anyway, can't the -kun suffix be used for girls as well (but younger than you)? I've heard older characters address a younger female with the -kun. It's rare, but I've heard it.

How does Code Geass airing over five years ago, copy Guilty Crown which just aired last October?
Is a joke.
Code Geass R1 15
Sexy.
Well, that arc sure was a lot shorter than I was expecting it would be.
After CC revealed
the road ahead of Ledouche was pretty clear. He is a great strategian, after all.
And dat surprise. I guess girls with post-traumatic amnesia don't mind the cameras too much.

Mao's weakness,
It was kind of refreshing to have him as Lelouch himself and not as Zero in "battle" for a change.

Well...
Also Shirley,
Ahahahaaa! That should keep you less annoying for now, little girl!
More wonderful keikaku and story on the past interactions of the better girl on the show, C.C. She is still mysterious, but she has proven once again that she has a heart, emotions and a drive. Therefore, unlike the living husk that is

I am looking forward to seeing more on C.C.'s past and possibly

HE DIED FAST!
Also Shirley,
lost all memory of Ledouche

her motivations and gift behind contract making.

Those bastards at Sunrise are sneaky like that.
Sure, but even for talented animators I doubt there would be any jump at all. It's just wasteful. I feel comfortable sticking in my "amount of frames doesn't matter" position!
Looks like it disappeared for me too. Might have been a one year license like other Viz stuff since it apparently went up April 30, 2011.

Does there need to be anything more than those traits?
You're right, she's not really a character per say.

Oh, so
Let's hope he is now, though. At least he won't be trolling anyone anymore after Ledouche's genius reaction.
Poor Cornelia.
Oh, so
Mao wasn't dead yet. He had a role to fullfil: expose poor Suzaku. Who, oh, by the way, has freaking super hero agility and fighting skills. Haven't we told you that?

She's clueless. I was wishing her dead before just for the sake of it, but now I'm starting to hope that she at least lives enough to find out the truth.

well,well,well so his strength behind reckless heroism is finally revealed. Indeed, sacrificing yourself in the name of good can make Death's embrace easier to dance around. He himself fell prey to extreme measures in the name of change or preventing an non-idealistic future, not too much unlike Ledouche now.
Also, he is a super agile, above Olympics qualifying runner. What news!

This episode clears a path for
Suzaku and Ledouche to grow their friendship around this new lil' fact over Suzaku murdering in the past. Whether they'll touch on it heavily again, is not clear to day with this anime's pacing, though I'll go with, "Yes."
Hopefully, more mech action awaits sooner than later.

Finally got around to making a Crunchroll account and ended up switching the first three episodes and Another. Gotta say, despite it's disgusting (albeit rather intruiging) catch, it's a pretty solid romance series. Urabe's voice caught me a bit of gaurd as I didn't expect it to be that deep. The character designs remind me a bit of Rumiko Takahashi's work as well; I think it may be the eyes. Can someone make me a gif of Urabe spewing spit from out her mouth after Tsubaki shreded that picture in episode 1? I might want to use it for later.

Tohdoh is saved and he's able to use his cool sword mecha again.

What an episode.
That's right, Ledouche. Wasn't expecting that, huh?
Epic stuff. The synchronized mech destruction scenes with the

And finally the princess makes the obvious choice we all knew she'd make all along.
