Sounds boring. After moe aircraft and moe guns who cares about moe tanks?

Definitely better than last week's episode, but still not really up to the quality I want, especially from a tournament arc in a series with a wide variety of techniques and strategies. At least Koga's fight looked cool even if it was underwhelming (though nowhere near as much as Yuna's).

What quality do you want? Its doing everything pretty well for the genre, in my opinion, if not better. I looked forward to it each week just as much as Naruto Shippuden/hxh.

First of all, I find the length to be an issue. Tournament arcs are good because they introduce a bunch of new characters and give them time to shine. Yuna's fight was over in like a minute and many haven't even been shown. I'm not saying a battle with some no-name has to last an entire episode, but I enjoy seeing characters fleshed out in fights. It's why I consider Flame of Recca and Yu Yu Hakusho the front-runners of this aspect of the genre.
And then there's just the content of the fights themselves. I don't think Koga's was bad, but it was just really average. This is a series with a heavy focus on elements; why not incorporate that into a strategy? Instead, the elements become irrelevant and it just ends up being about
who has the stronger beam attack.
kamehameha battles.
You use HxH as an example which is what I'm talking about. The recent episode of the remake series consisted mostly of Hisoka trying to figure out Kastro's ability and think up a counterattack. That's the kind of stuff I want in tournament arcs.

So, more plot. Much more plot from the non mysterious stranger side. I am liking how both stories are pretty much merging together now.
This episode was full of dynamic entries.

Frankly, I'm split on if I care if whathisface ends up dying or not.

Trust me, you really don't want to see any more of them. Ever.
I will watch at least one episode of this.

the character design of the manga looks different
and no Reichsadler in the anime.

I was very much amused by Juiz and her again surprised efficiency in performing the tasks and her snappy comments now after every task. But no, serious, those last two minutes were pretty much wtf. Awesome wtf moment, but still.
Pretty much my reaction to the last two minutes of the episode.

Yes. Or, in short, if it looks better than the DVD, get it.

Because the animators are lazy.

I don't think I will ever understand why sometimes returning a youkai name makes them disappear. I think some of them just had their names returned and no flashy shinning lights happened and then some youkai like to have a festival when their name gets returned.
Like in this episode
did the mermaid leave the lake?

I guess I could see that but seems like it is going a bit too deep for me and for the scope or purpose of the anime at least for what Kouga and others are trying to achieve. In those other anime it seems the tournaments were set just for characters to be number one, with characters willingly entering for that sake (didnt see YYH nor get far in Recca). Omega is more like, Kouga just wanting to meet his Athena. I think the extent they did buildup and strategizing with Kouga's fight was pretty well done. Other characters like it, like Yuna, would have dragged the tourney out though, and would anyone honestly want it with Yuna, shes not even a powerhouse for that matter.
And for the last episode, friendship and camaraderie was the focus instead of skills, and at least it led to an explosive outcome, which is all good.

Asks questions so Ezalc doesn't have to
I agree with this. Sega's CG animation department is IMO better than Square's in terms of animation (not mocap). Night of the Werehog is particularly impressive.

A relatively boring episode, really. Like there are little hints of something being thrown everywhere, investigations going very slowly, if anything a little let down from the last episode.
Stalking for love.

We will get deep tactical analysis of modern military tactics and hand-drawn tank action.
I believe!

Like I said in the other thread, I will wait until lineup but most likely they won't have anything worth watching
I don't even know what's the point of this, 1999 is not coming back and anime has been dead for many years now, what are they going to show? dragon ball,dragon ball z and dragon ball gt forever?

Dirty Pair obviously.
I'd watch the block if it had the old line-up.

It'll be interesting to see if they actually intend to make something out of this or if it'll just be a pure appeal to nostalgia.

So what are they going to show? Gurren Lagann? Upotte? Queen's Blade? Manyuu Hikenchou?
Eiken?
I like YYH. I like DBZ too.I thought you liked Yu Yu Hakusho.
But I'm just calling it like I see it. Also they're going to be airing the dubs and the dubs are... not so good.

One of these things is not like the others, one of these things doesn't belong~
If it introduces a new generation to those shows, I'm okay with it. *shrug* I doubt Cartoon Network will be getting a cut of the DVD/Blu-ray profits, but it will probably make negotiations easier with Funimation.
If their goal was to accelerate young boys into puberty, then yes.

That won't stop some kids from watching it. I started watching Adult Swim when I was 11.
