ABF is willfully obtuse. I would hope everyone has realized that by now. He ignores everything he doesn't agree with and decides to live inside his own bubble.

I never said Angel Beats is better than E7. In fact I said exactly the opposite and made it very clear.

Where are they? I'm just seeing a whole lot of nothing.

None of your four screenshots have been anything other than good looking, certainly. No visible issues I can see.
Nobody has bothered to explain what they find wrong with any of those shots, how am I supposed to understand your complaints?
What's so good about E7? That leaves me pretty confused, as I said I've never thought of it as anything other than fairly generic. Slickly generic perhaps, and with some interesting parts, but generic.
I was commenting on you saying that ABF has a point. He might have a point (according to you) but poisoning the well with that comparison just made everyone else more hostile to him.

I had no idea people here cared so much about E7. Now that I know that I certainly won't change my statement, but when I said it I certainly didn't know that for some reason or other E7 is loved here to that degree.
Almost everything imo
especially the music and animation, world building is great too
what exactly was generic about it?
the planet of the apes ending?
Odd reason? Like, "its got good visuals and a nice story"? That kind?
E7 is definitely an interesting show. I'm not a huge mecha fan, but I can appreciate the mech designs and the grand scope of Eureka Seven. Plus Eureka is cute as fuck and that always gets bonus points. I haven't ventured far into the series, but I already love the settings and music and visual style of it. It is definitely a more adventurous show than Angel Beats is. However, I like Angel Beats for what It is and not how it compares to Eureka Seven, because the two really arent comparable AT ALL.

What's the problem with that? Are walkways not allowed to have slopes these days?
Edit: Or is it that it just disappears? I would honestly never notice if anything was wrong or not in motion.
Anemone was cute too, mostly because she had the better VA

I dont know who Anemone is, but I look forward to finding out.
This seems unfortunately out of character.
Neither do I. I just assumed, guess we have to wait for wonzo to give a correct answer.
It looks like Squid girl dislocated her hip. Can't unsee!

On the scale of how SHAFT a show is this episode was DANGEROUSLY SHAFTY. Possible the most SHAFT episode yet. I mean just look at some of these visuals:
They are also really, really getting their money's worth out of the art direction in this show. The amount of quality background work in this series continues to stun:
Visually, I can't make any complaints about this show. The direction continues to be superb with intelligently conceived and interesting compositions that communicate the inner thoughts of the characters wordlessly.
I have a few complaints about the story, mainly the stupid anime-isms that feel at odds with the tone of the story.
It was mitigated to some degree by the skillful manner in which the following scene was directed, but still, that could have been written much better. Also, I hope that the cousin
It's amazing that for how well-directed this has been, I still have no confidence that it won't take a nose-dive at some point.

In particular, the manner in which Rea died felt stupid and contrived.
stays stuck in that drainpipe forever. She literally serves no purpose other than fanservice.

Not enough shots of the cousin's contours for it to show how truly SHAFTesque it was!
It's my favorite way to watch anything.
Every now and then there's a show where I feel like I need to watch it once with comments off first (ironically, Saki Achiga-hen ep1 was one of those) but for a lot of stuff I just leave comments on from the beginning. Not like I read them all; more just soak in the reactions most of the time. Occasionally pause if I really want to read the full set of reactions to something.
The shows that aren't on Nico feel lonely, so I wind up going to 2ch's real-time watching thread boards and opening up the real-time thread (archive) for the show and following along.

It's only the 3rd episode, dude. There will be plenty of time for development.

You see what I mean? Gifs and images explain nothing. A post like that is just a drive-by, unexplained insult.
It looks flat to me, then angles down at the end as it heads toward the stairs.
How do you know how I'll respond before you explain anything? I enjoy debate and discussion, but not stuff like what you're saying there. That's not true.
Nothing disappears, it stops because there's a staircase there... and yeah, nothing wrong with having an angled part on a staircase...
I don't really see any possible redemption for her character. She's a dumb cliche that the show has already utterly objectified, and she's a third wheel anyway.

Well whatever, a few shots where I wouldn't notice if anything was wrong without it being pointed out won't stop me from enjoying or not enjoying Angel Beats if I ever actually decide to watch it past the 3rd episode.
I disagree, but you'll probably be disappointed with where her character goes.

Glorious. I need to go watch the episode.

Down south?
I don't see it either. It's almost like people nitpick every detail of that hsow just because they already hate it. I can nitpick certain parts of it because it certainly has problems, but for me its no deal breaker. Maybe I'm just used to watching Cg'ish anime. I mean hell, I bought Polyphonica and all you have to do is watch the infamous car chase cene to know it has major problems. But it was still fun. I mean shit, I could point out some significant flaws in many of Gaf' beloved shows, but that doesnt make them awful. I never expect perfection in anime. I fully expect to see problems and flaws, due to the often rushed budget cutting nature of the business. Its necessary evil.

Why just dislike a show if you can hate it?

Never said everyone would be disappointed. Just Branduil and maybe a few other guys. I personally think she gets a lot better and most of animegaf will probably enjoy her development (at least the Haganai fans).
No.

Watch Macross Plus instead! Because why not.
She looks like an Amatarou character design. I like her.
I only hate three shows, and they are Gasaraki, Eiken, and Gantz. I have varying degrees of dislike for other shows but I cant honestly say that I outright hate anything else.

Yes, there's clearly an angled section before the first step. And? Nothing wrong with that.

I guess I know what you mean but that's not wrong.
Is anything an issue for you?
No, the ground is pretty uninteresting.

Things that look wrong might be issues, sure, like the various "bad perspective" or "inconsistent rooms" pics that have been posted before, from various series. Nothing is wrong there though.
A few things. Right now, mainly Texas.
Don't mock the toilet, man.

There are other odd things about that image. I don't know what the fuck is going on with the DOF.
