No wonder I'm so lukewarm to the show.

I couldn't tolerate the show enough to get past the first couple of episodes (it was pretty bad...), but from what I saw of the ending,
at least he doesn't go with the incest option...
Bad Company? I assume that's a movie reference, though I don't know it... I know of the Battlefield: Bad Company games, but haven't played those. But yeah, the girls have basically been shoved off into this out-of-the-way fort on purpose.
As for the town, yeah. I mentioned that too, and also remember seeing those photos. It certainly looked a lot like the one in the town.
Unless some of those "could be okay, could be awful" shows actually aren't awful, yeah, it's definitely looking like a backlog season. Summer usually is the weakest season, for TV or anime...
A nice surprise indeed!

Genderbent Hughes is awesome. I knew she would be based on the OP, but she was still better than I could have expected! Fuckin command magic; broken as hell.
Also, I haven't mentioned it before, but I really like the new ED's song and how well it goes with the visuals. Pretty effective and reminds me of D.N.Angel's OP kind of.
Yet all the magic that's used to kill people is perfectly kosher?

Little do people know is that GOD is actually One Piece. Toriko is a sequel to OP that takes place hundreds of years later. The 100 year war is a partial reference to the Void Century combined with the actual war at the end of OP which was bastardized by history. After finding GOD, Luffy changed his name to Acacia and brought on the Gourmet Age. The Gourmet World is merely the Grandline that has since been inhabited by horrifying creatures, pushing even the most powerful pirates back into a single continent, ending the Golden Age of Piracy entirely. Gourmet Cells are just devil fruits broken down to microscopic particles and injected directly into the blood stream.
Awww yeah, Haqua beat Homuhomu.

The ending is the only thing that makes the show worth it. But in a good way!
Yeah, Battlefield: Bad Company. The rejects of the army somehow find themselves in the right time and place to save the world.

Kyouko pretty much owns. I'd expect nothing less from the coach's girlfriend! While this show has a rather budget feel to it at times, it certainly knows when to use animation effectively where it counts most. Comparing the soccer parts of this to the laughably animated The Knight in the Area and the difference in the quality of the animation is night and day.

I wonder if they'll pull ridiculously quick fluctuations in weight with Reika a la that guy in The Knight in the Area whose name I've already forgotten.
Loved the episode by episode and final review impressions!
You guys will be Geass bros to me forever! *brofist*

Summer 2012 List:
Hyped/Curious for:
Natsuyuki Rendezvous (Interested)
Arcana Famiglia (Sold by the title alone, trailer looks as if it's a fun show. Probably won't be great though.)
Tari Tari (Like the character designs and it's at least tangentially related to music.)
Moyashimon Returns (If I manage to watch the first in time)
Will wait for impressions:
Binbou-gami ga!
Sword Art Online
Aruvu Rezuru
Candidates for seasonal injection of misanthropy:
Kokoro Connect
Oda Nobunaga no Yabou
Kono Naka ni Hitori, Imouto ga Iru!
Definitely watching:
Blood-C: The Last Dark (Whenever I can pre-order the BD)
All shows from the current season (Busy with studying for final exams and work lately, so I've had to put anime and internet on hold for now. Really shouldn't be procrastinating now... *slinks back into study cave*)

Worth actually watching that whole disaster to get to? Seems unlikely...
Ah. So yeah, it is comparable.
Yeah, looks pretty much the same indeed.

I dont understand what you are saying here.
Is it too moe? Are these stupid characters? Do you simply enjoy gouging out your eyes?

Re: Gundam blinding himself reaction image: What is the strategic advantage for mechs having a head? I can see why they would need legs and arms to more carefully imitate human movement, but adding a head is nothing but telling your opponent where to strike. Hell, most mechs even have their cockpits on their chests. It just doesn't make any sense.
Image sensors? I don't know. It's not like a real Gundam could ever work effectively as long as our physics work the way they do.
Toy ads! It's how those military campaigns fund themselves.
Vulcan cannons have to go somewhere.
I have been saying this for 10 years or more now. Heads are the most unrealistic part of mecha design, and this is why most realistic military based mech designs generally don't have heads. You know what else is totally unrealistic and would never make sense to actually design a build on a mech? Fingers.

Like pizzaroll said, the image sensors go in the head. Have you not watched The 08th MS Team?
That's just crazy talk. Next you'll say they don't need shoulders or something weird like that.I have been saying this for 10 years or more now. Heads are the most unrealistic part of mecha design, and this is why most realistic military based mech designs generally don't have heads.

That doesn't explain why you would want to design a head. Image sensors can go anywhere. Why make it overt? It's like designing a big red glowing WEAK SPOT on a tank.

To show character!
Why are gundams so brightly colored?
Why do they walk on 2 legs?
Why are naboo fighters yellow?
Silly fiction.
I always thought those gundams with tank treads were the most practical. Shame they don't have as good plot armor.
That's the trick -- keep all the important parts away from the head because dumb enemies will think it's the weak point!!!
Errr. There's a good reason why bipedal vehicles are actually an engineering interest. Tanks are poorly suited for combat and mobility in many environments. Bipedal tanks would not. That is the basis for walking mechs.

But why 2 legs vs 3 or 4?
Damn it. Now I have to google up stuff instead of sleeping.

why gundam when nanomachines?
Tripod designs would be good for tall sentry type unit designs, like seen in War of the Worlds. But it would be ill-suited for more compact units which have larger body mass, due to balance issues.
Crab designs work well for smaller scale tank like designs which are meant for heavy artillery or frontal assault, but would have lower mobility and a larger mass. It is heavier and would be slower to move because of the engineering behind moving 4 legs instead of 2. It is not practical for larger-scale designs because of cost.

I always wondered how newtypes work. It was the nanomachines all along!
I know, right? Walking on two legs? What a preposterous notion!
Thats actually the basis behind the mechs in mechwarrior canon too
metal gear solid's "mobile nuke platform" is kind of silly though

But the ATAT's were always harder to kill than ATST's in star wars games!

It's 2 a.m. and I am very sleepy.
Thank God I was never into G.I. Joe toys.
They could hide missiles inside the fingers!I have been saying this for 10 years or more now.

I actually haven't.
Shoulder plates can provide protection for the head. They wouldn't be needed if they didn't have a head though!
Party pooper.
But nobody ever shoots the head anyway so what's the fucking point!!!!
Makes perfect sense to me.
MGS' mobile nuke platform was just an excuse to write in a railgun. The original Metal Gear games used the same justification that a bi-pedal tank would be a useful weapon to deploy in third world countries.

I seem to remember in G Gundam that they piloted the Gundams in suits where they controlled them from their own movements, or something like that. So I guess mimicking the human body as close as they can could make sense.
I also seem to remember G Gundam had a Gundam that wore a sombrero.
Hadn't played the original metal gear but it sounds less silly
human form for mechs is fine if they look sufficiently bulky imo
kind of like this
Practicality aside, Japan does love its humanoid robotics
