They pulled a medaka before medaka.
And it became pretty awesome. Think magic spells and stuff at DBZ pace.

I've heard it had a disappoint ending, though, didn't it?
Guess I'll come back and read it eventually, then.

Extremely disappointing, but not enough to ruin the entire series. Still worth a read. Just be glad you haven't been reading it for 9 years like some people.

I knew you were joking.
I have one. Though I haven't updated it in a while, since I'm trying to be a more accepting person.
You should list us.

Eureka Seven AO ep 3
Pretty nice episode and informative. I think I have enough of the pieces in place to not have any questions I had about the series from not seeing Eureka Seven to understand the current plot. The OP is really nice and catchy "ESCAPE kono kaze ni namida wo nose kareru made supiido agete, tobikoete yukeru..."

Nice G-monster design and other elements to it, reminded me of senhime zesshou symphogear for some reason, color scheme and method or projectiles
Wait, when did this OP happen? I don't remember it at all.
I don't really have a favourite One Piece OP (the one before the terrible New World OP is the only one still fresh in my mind), but ED 3 is by and far my favourite ED. Edit: Not that it has much competition any more, what with One Piece no longer having EDs.

Wow, that song really doesn't fit what's going on in the show.
But, that isn't really new. There are plenty of examples of serious moments suddenly broken up by the happy go lucky ending song that starts up!

It was during most of Impel Down and possibly some of Amazon Lily. Can't remember for sure.
Anyway, my favorite one is definitely Kokoro no Chizu because it's when the art gets all digital era-ish. I also ended up watching it when I was still in the 20s, so that kept me motivated to keep watching while also unintentionally spoiling myself >_> (though the OP does that anyway).
I also like Believe, the We Are remix, and One Day.
That's the one I'm at right now. I'm still drooling over the widescreen resolution.
Funny thing is that I watched it years ago a couple of times when it was the latest OP, before even considering following One Piece, and I still remembered the lyrics when I reached Davy Back.

If you're talking about "We Go.", yeah it's bad stuff.
My favorites (no specific order), Kokoro no Chizu, Brand New World, Believe and Share the World.
Also 4kids RAAAAAAAAP!

Nostalgia and Ace. Thats my favorite OP intro, thats also when I first started the anime years ago. I think that, Fight Together, and We Are (english dub) are my favorites, though Ive still not seen the OPs for episodes 130 to 450 something.

Those five seconds of animation (you know which ones I'm talking about) looked like something out of Imaishi's hands. Too bad about the rest. At least it's not Hyouka?
I haven't watched Mononoke, but that cartoon's premise doesn't sound stupidly boring. I think I'm gonna check that out instead.

Watch the final arc of Ayakashi first...Well you should actually watch the entirety of Ayakashi, but the last arc is part of Mononoke.

Believe is the best One Piece opening. This is a fact of life. I love We Are, Brand New World, and Share the World a lot, too.
But...Impel Down is one of the best arcs in the series.
Oh right... yea... I kinda skipped through most of Impel Down. Even skipped the second Robin episodeKeep meaning to go back to it.
But...Impel Down is one of the best arcs in the series.
But the worst-paced
Though, glacial pacing since ID was a big reason why I stopped watching OP week-to-week. I have a year's worth of material to catch up on, and I should probably get to that soon in preparation for (manga spoilz)
Punk Hazard aka the most bitchin' adventure arc of the past few years
Sailor Moon S 97
Well now, that was a real treat. Episode give Ami focus as she dealt with some internal struggle in regard to her self-worth. The episode explored this via Ami's rumination that she amounted to little more than her academics, how teachers and fellow students perceived her this way, and on her need to be non-confrontational and a people pleaser. The slice of life portion was the stronger half of this episode what with Ami's worrying and the pool scenes with Michiru where she learned it was ok to compete with others.
The Daimon was a little too goofy given how well the rest of the ep was handled but it stood out from earlier encounters as
Overall the ep was rather great and very touching.

Tuxedo Mask and Sailor Moon held their own and Uranus/Neptune never had to involve themselves.
Always room for a little comedy even in serious episodes! said:
Michiru and Ami isolated before bonding in their natural element. said:
I may have teared up a bit when the sad music kicked and a forlorn Ami had her heart stolen by the Daimon! What a sad scene.
Yea but the one after it is the best. How was I supposed to know it was going to be handled so piss poorly... I guess that's some kind of karma.
Toei giveth, and Toei taketh away. But mostly Toei spoileth.
If we don't get a theatrical version of Marineford eventually I'll be PISSED.

War is like... a slideshow.
That would be ideal (with Tate as the animation director).

What, you didn't love three minutes per episode of Buggy filler and random Hancock daydreams breaking everything up?
Hey, woah, more Buggy is never a bad thing. Certainly could have done with less Hancock though, and less stare downs.
Maybe they should have tried to work in more Kizaru as well.

People talking about One Piece? What the hell is this the manga thread?
so yeah eureka 7 AO episode 3
kinda not really feeling this like the original
A bunch of other things bothering me, but i cant drop it because its still good
just not compelling yet
kinda not really feeling this like the original
in the original we had a surfer vibe, now we have.... generic mecha and enemies that look like theyre from strike witches? then theres the "only kids can pilot them" evangelion trope which is lame as hell.

Which is funny because apparently it has a lot of sakuga too. I guess that's the tradeoff; arcs with some sakuga end up looking like slideshows most of the time.
Coincidentally, the very same question can be asked in regard to people who complain about people talking about One Piece!

Back to form. When was the last time we had this episodic format? Michiko?

Don't encourage them! I find it extremely hilarious that they didn't translate those mini-episodes for the Fate/Zero mega release. That's disgusting.
If you watched E7 though, your feels on the feels meters would be a lot higher though.

This post involves you dropping a lot of shows I like in a brutal fashion
Are you watching anything that you do enjoy?
I really don't recommend watching any show, even Penguin Drum, in quite such a piecemeal fashion. Skipping to the end without watching what leads up to it is hugely pointless as well, especially for 'some closure'.
If you're watching just to see, perhaps, the most interestingly directed episodes, I can see some kind of last basted around that.
seriously? oh wow. that's pretty messed up given how much that whole thing cost.

Maybe they are saving it for DLC.
Hainbane Renmei, Bamboo Blade and then a bunch of currently airing shows. Mawaru Penguindrum and Planetes are getting second chances though. Planetes is kind of weird actually, I couldn't be more happy with its first episode but then it just started to teeter a bit but I feel it should be picking up from where I left, so now I'm thinking I was too hasty on impressions of it thus far.This post involves you dropping a lot of shows I like in a brutal fashion

Looking back at what you quoted, those were all the shows I had absolutely no desire to drop. F/Z I really want to like because everyone sounds like they're having a blast watching it. Sketchbook I also found mildly entertaining in its own right. I should have probably just classified those two as on-hold rather than dropped. I do want to get back to those shows.
