You've convinced me to watch it now.
This kind of borderline seems like something you might want to edit.

Cartman's VA... errr.

He's one of the few VA's I can recognize and tend to voice my favorite roles...well Haru isnt a favorite on character design, unfortunately, but perfect in avatar form.
Stuff like that doesn't actually bother me in movement, but when I look at the stills... It's kind of bizarre.

The pig or the robot dude?
Personally the fat face + how he tends to talk a lot of shit while still getting his ass kicked until plot armor just urks me in a weird way.
Don't talk shit unless you got a keikaku yo

Well I wouldn't go that far, but it's kind of hard to call any anime watchers decent human beings.

Still can't get over that end to Wasurenagumo.
That spider girl is [redacted] as hell.
I suppose whether you agree or not depends on how much you despise spiders
Excellent. I hate 'em!
Mai-Hime 4
Really nice episode. It didn't pull the story forward much, but it offered some good scenes.
Mikoto's characterization keeps growing on me, for example when the girls are talking about bras and Mikoto is nodding to everything the girls say, only to shook her head when asked if she understands.
Natsuki is charming in her own ways. She appears to be putting up a front of sort as a strong girl (at least it looks like that to me so far), which makes certain scenes look even better when her face has some great expressions.

That nosebleed is perfectly justified.

Don't take away her food!

That's a great "Hmph!" face, as far as I'm concerned.
You might like this one. She is absolutely adorable.
well until she drops the girl from her web and the girl presumably dies
Sankarea 06:
Totally bankrupt save for the above shot and one or two others like it. There is nothing about this episode that warrants discussion. More ecchi, more of Rea acclimating to zombie life, that's it. The tragedy of the show's freefall continues as usual.

Ginga e Kickoff 05
Drunk dude's waifu/cousin/sis or w/e is best girl of the show.
Even though the show is pretty budgeted, they do put the details where it matters, like footwork.
Good stuff.

I think so, this kind of show is never about the dvd sales.

Accel World 6
I wanted to throw a book at Haruyuki so much, wow.
Oh well with that fixed swiftly, enjoyed Takumu's contribution to the plot and story. Really accels in all areas where Haru falls short. Ending moment looked epic
.
Battle theme music was cool.

Why was he so against Direct Linking with Takumu like that, that would have been the best option and they are already such a great team. This was not the time to throw it into question with trust issues because of a useless trip of morality.
darn he was caught in a burst link
Battle theme music was cool.
fortunately i like spiders so i found her to be moe as hell!Still can't get over that end to Wasurenagumo.

It airs on NHK's educational channel during Sunday afternoons, so it follows completely different rules from late-night anime.
There's still one more.
3 more.

I see. I guess that explains why the anime doesn't look like an otaku pandering one.
Well they better all be girls

Asks questions so Ezalc doesn't have to
Random question for you guys. I was just thinking about this earlier and I was wondering how you all feel about this topic.
What would be, in your estimate, the show(s) with the best opening episode?
I'm not talking about the opening animation, and the entire series could collapse later and suck, but that first episode just drew you in and didn't let you go. I'll throw out my personal nominees, though I only plan to talk about a couple shows.
Ouran High School Host Club
This show sets up the entire premise and primary cast in it's first episode. And it did so brilliantly with great pacing, comedic timing, and showing just enough characterization for each of the seven main leads to get a good feel of who everyone is and what they're about at a glance, with a nice little "gotcha" at the end to surprise you and make you want the next episode right away.
Cowboy Bebop
A small, quiet scene is followed by a bombastic opening, leading into a laid back beginning where we're introduced to Spike (or Bebop the Cowboy if you prefer) and his partner Jett. We learn they're bounty hunters, and get a small glimpse into how their lives are about excitement (the fight scene in the square) but also can have some tragic results (the escape attempt for the bounty). This episode completely encapsulates the entire tone of the show to follow, some action, some laid-back scenes, and some bittersweet and/or tragic moments.

Oh lol, episode 7 name just spoiled who is the next person with a title.

I really don't remember opening episodes that well for most anime but I do remember that Gurren Lagann first episode was pretty great and it hooked me on the show.
The biggest problem was that the characters involved had had no chance for any development yet, so the tragic/bittersweet moments didn't have much impact. Plus I just didn't particularly care for the atmosphere of that episode, it was done better by a bunch of later episodes.
Anyway, what immediately springs to mind for me is Gurren Lagann. A small, quite scene is followed by a bombastic opening, leading to an action packed episode where we're introduced to the 3 mainest characters. We learn about the world they live in, and get a small glimpse into how their lives are about excitement (or at least Kamina is), but also has some tragedy in the past (simon's parents, hints at Kamina's father.). This episode completely encapsulates the entire tone of the first 2/3rds of the show to follow, some action, some laid-back scenes, and some spiral powaaaah to finish it off.
Wolf's Rain... but probably more so because what a disappointment that ended up to be.

Two nods for Gurren Lagann already! Yes, that was a very strong opener for the show. ^^;
I'd have to second TTGL and Nodame Cantabile as having truly amazing opening episodes. More recent examples would have to be Kids on the Slope, KoikeLupin and of course the AoTS Upotte!!

I really like the newest Lupin episode, especially now that I've watched the sub. Oscar's the super-Fujiko:
Doesn't get any better than that. I'm now very confident that he'll be written out of the show by the end, simply because, unlike Lupin and Fujiko, he's not got very good foresight, and his backup plans are currently non-existent. A very full-frontal kind of actor and detective. Oh well.
Still a very polarizing series. But that's how you get more viewers.
he found an incoming student who's new to the academy and happens to have nearly the exact same facial structure and body structuretook her clothes and general appearance, and shmoozes Fujiko into a hard place. And then he gets distracted when the rest of his elaborate plans fail, simply because he's fucking suck-up to KEIBU.
Still a very polarizing series. But that's how you get more viewers.
Am I missing something here?
