if someone claimed that this happened to them
they would be given medication and sent on their way

Are you applying real life logic to anime?

The full version of the Sengoku Collection OP is the best thing to come out of that show. The B-Side song in the single is pretty neat too.

Remember how

Spoiler

Kurotsuchi defeated him by injecting him with a substance that immobilized his reflexes by making every second feel like a hundred years

? It was a pretty good metaphor for the Bleach viewing experience in general.

Well, at least Kubo's self-conscious.

 

[firehawk12]

It's a kids show? Whhaaaaattt? I didn't know that. That seems on par with the ridiculousness of classifying Up as a kids movie.

I mean, I basically had my suspicions when they ended every episode with a "cool space picture" for no real reason. Tonally, it feels like a kid's show meant to inspire kids to go into science anyhoo.

Never thought of it like that...it's perfect, really.

 

[Jex]

Amazing, the same dead eyes that we know and love.

Well, it's not like it's impossible to improve that art, it's already perfection.

 

[Jex]

What happened to plumbing the depths of mediocrity? You survived Rick's Bread, you can take this.

I think you're being overly-generous when you call Rick's Bread 'mediocre'.

To me it's felt like a show for all ages. The most recent episode's more mature themes made the fact that it's for kids more surprising.

It doesn't affect how I view the show but that timeslot always made me wonder what was up. Interesting.

Well, many kids shows work for all audiences of course. And the movie is probably aiming at an older audience as well.

Space Bros 9

what better way to ponder the temporal nature of all things than by pulling a silly face

even better than episode 8?!

Well only a few works can ever achieve that.

[Legend of the Galactic Heroes] 024

Sakuga? In my LotGH? It was so surprising it compelled me to finally get off my arse and venture into the realm of gif-making. Ore no Hajimete Giffu ga Konna ni Kawaii Wake ga Nai:

Yeah, not optimised at all. I'm learning though, thanks to alr1ghtstart's magnificent gif tutorial thread.

Spoiler

Yang is a bit too lenient on foes. I'm suspicious that his humanity will be his downfall. Such a nice guy like him will surely burn in the pages of history.

[Legend of the Galactic Heroes] 025

I smell the NTR coming on!

This episode could be called

Spoiler

"The Rise and Fall of His Excellency Reinhard von Lohengramm" after the shocking(!!) developments Oberstein guided him into. It's a sad affair seeing him and Kircheis fighting for something so silly like two million people dead. They nuked an entire planet and that's all the corpses they burned? Surely that planet wasn't even important, pfft

Lohengramm's position as Yang's foil was more apparent today. They basically solved the same problem through opposite matters: Yang's the pacifist while Lohengramm's descent into jerkness is now inevitable. I suspect someone close to him will die. And soon.

This show also has some real goofy reaction images:

 

[Jex]

BONES will continue fighting the good fight, I believe in them ;__;

I don't even know what BONES are fighting for anymore.

 

[Brazil]

Space Brothers 9

Well, last week's preview had already spoiled this for me... But in this episode they touch that subject, with a fitting introduction.

I love the small interactions between characters. Things like Mutta eating the choco burgers that fell on his blanket inside the plane, or his father making impressions, or the little kid telling Mutta how old she is, or even

Spoiler

Eddie waving at Japan from the ISS's window.

What can I say? Another great, intelligent and funny episode. Hell, we even got a nice dosis of Serika-san! That's the good stuff.

Bwahahahaha.

even better than episode 8?!

Different kinds of good, hahaha.

Kariya... Hell, why must all the great characters in the Fate franchise suffer so much? There's Kariya, FZ's Lancer...

I think perhaps we have some differing definitions of 'great' characters!

 

[Brazil]

Yeah, you're right. I keep forgetting Space Brothers was the first of this season's shows to air.

I think perhaps we have some differing definitions of 'great' characters!

I guess I sympathize with all of those who hold noble causes.

But, just out of curiosity, who do you like?

 

[KuwabaraTheMan]

Well,

Lancer did have one of the most memorable scenes in the entire show.

Characters with moles can't help but be great.

Deadman Wonderland 01

This show is stupid weird, but at least it looks nice.

 

[Jex]

Fate/Zero 21:

Spoiler

Still, the important thing is fuck Gilgamesh, fuck Kotomine, fuck Tokiomi, and fuck Zouken. These final four episodes are going to be absolutely brutal.

Which reminds me, I think Zouken is just about the worst written character in the whole series. He's really like some comic book, evil for the sake of evil, villain. That his presence is tied into some of the worst content in the show is no surprise.

 

[Uchip]

Characters with moles can't help but be great.

I never really got it, but they suggested that his mole had powers
right? or did I read it wrong

 

[Dresden]

Spoiler

fuck

Kirei is one of the best characters in the show.

Sex powers.

But, just out of curiosity, who do you like?

Kiritsugu, Archer, Kirei,Tokiomi, Waver, Rider, Ryūnosuke and Caster are all interesting characters who I enjoy seeing interact with one another and the rest of the people in the show.

I enjoy seeing Lancer, Saber, Kariya and Kayneth play off other members of the cast.

Irisviel is boring, and Irisviel talking to Saber is the cure for insomnia.

Natalia has no character to speak of. There are people in one-off flashbacks who are more fleshed out than she it.

Acchi Kocchi 8

Kawaii.

And the Io/Sakaki duo is the best one to come out of this season. Shooting dem CG corks like true gentlemen.

Damn, they're totally playing Poitter's Point/Poy Poy! Man, those were the times.

Casshern Sins 01

You don't see anime with such a persistently bleak visual and narrative tone like this too often.

 

[Branduil]

Casshern Sins 1

Was not a fan of the first half of the episode. The editing and pacing was really weird, like watching a really-long movie trailer. Second half was substantially better.

Being Casshern is suffering.

 

[madp]

Kirei is one of the best characters in the show.

Deadman Wonderland 1 Dub

I love Shiro's voice. Pretty good dub. Can't wait to hear what Minatsuki sounds like.

Happy this got such a positive response in the Toonami thread along with Casshern. Hopefully it's like that elsewhere too.

 

[duckroll]

I kinda consider Zouken to be a sort of comedy relief character at this point, like certain Rider/Waver scenes. He doesn't appear often enough to really have a huge impact on the tone of the show, but whenever he does appear it's "fun" to watch in a comic way, like you said. I blame his terrible design... and that laugh. Dat laugh. Lolz.

Fate/Zero 21:

Why is this show so good? It's literally suffering trying to watch other shows this season as they fail in comparison to the greatness that is Fate/Zero.

This episode was no exception.

What is with him looking like a character from a completely different work, anyway?

Today's Koyama panel was unfortunately less interesting, mostly due to technical difficulties and weak questions from the audience. Hopefully his character design panel tomorrow will be better.

Also, the Sailor Moon marathon was timed precisely to include the entirety of S, start to finish. Following it seems to be an eight-hour LotGH marathon, but I'm not staying around to find out what it covers.
