Have absolutely no clue what you mean as both Bestgatari and Steins;Gate were fantastic shows. Haven't watched Jormungand yet myself as I'm forever lagging in the Spring season.

Quite a bit if I remember right. She has a hard time reconciling the idea that Kiritsugu put being a father first and a magus second due to her own experience.

Oh I guess that explains why you tried to watch Chaos;Head. Somebody should have warned you

I have no idea how to use an abacus. Mutta's air abacus technique blows my mind.
The whole ant metaphor scene was really good. But when Mutta talks about Hibito like that...

I can't help but think something will go wrong and he won't reach the Moon. Oh boy.

Objectively speaking, White Fox are less competent than Madhouse.
Although it remains to be seen how much of Madhouse is actually left at this point (not much, I would imagine).
Yeah.
She keeps bringing up how she hates Kiritsugu for not passing down his skills to Shirou properly. In her mind, because of the road Tokiomi choose for her, that's what a magus father is supposed to do.

But of course they do.
This might have been a better premise.

80 billion years ago: creation of the 13th-dimensional cosmic spirit
65 billion years ago: creation of the 12th-dimensional galaxy consciousness
60 billion years ago: creation of the 11th-dimensional stellar consciousness
53 billion years ago: creation of the 10th-dimensional planetary consciousness
40 billion years ago: the Big Bang
5.5 billion years ago: El Cantare chooses Venus as the planet on which he will experiment with the evolution of life
3.5 billion years ago: plant and animal life on Venus separate into two separate forms of life
2.5 billion years ago: Venus humanoids achieve space travel and emigrate to other planets when volcanic activity threatens to destroy life on Venus
600 million years ago: El Cantare decides to begin life anew on Earth
400 million years ago: El Cantare creates man from the lifeforce of the Venusians
280 million years ago: Satan emerges on earth, creates hell, and corrupts humanity. Mankind is destroyed by flood.
17000 years ago: El Cantare is reincarnated as La Mu, who brings enlightenment to the continent of Moa
13000 years ago: El Cantare is reincarnated as Thoth, who brings enlightenment to the descendants of the Moans in Atlantis
7000 years ago: El Cantare is reincarnated as Rient Arl Croud, who brings enlightenment to the Incas
6500 years ago: El Cantare is reincarnated as Ophealis, who brings enlightenment to the Greeks
4300 years ago: El Cantare is reincarnated as Hermes, who brings enlightenment to the Greeks........again
2500 years ago: El Cantare is reincarnated as Gautama Siddhartha, who brings enlightenment to India
56 years ago: El Cantare is reincarnated as Ookawa Ryuuhou, who forms the organization Happy Science
21 years ago: In order to bring enlightenment to Japan, Ookawa commissions a 15-minute OVA from a little-known animation studio called Kyoto Animation and captivates Japan with the power of its message.
---------------------------------
This was Happy Science's first animated production, the story of a meeting between a cute angel girl and boy who hates school. The angel takes the boy for a ride in the clouds where she teaches him the virtues of living for others and introduces him to the concept of the inner universe, which he embraces and redoubles his efforts to be a good student and good citizen.
It's decidedly cuter and less doctrinaire than future Happy Science works, however the organization's footprint is still decidedly present. After all, Ookawa's airship fetish is present and accounted for:
And, uhh...fuck if I know what this was about:
Most disappointingly, this OVA's elephant count was zero, putting it in the same ignominious category as The Laws of the Sun.
It's still recommended for the hardcore Happy Science enthusiast. I only understood about 20% of what was being said, but Ookawa's teachings easily transcended the language barrier!

You'll understand soon very soon
kurapica At the moment is killua tier. I wont say much more because of spoilers..
As for hisoka he is so high you dont understand yet
that is ... until the best arc in the Hxh franchise starts (only a few eps away)
They certainly weren't great because of white fox though..

I read this article before it was cool to read about Happy Science here at Anime-GAF. Cool stuff.
There's no case here. White Fox did an awesome job with all of the important scenes in Steins;Gate (despite the character designs), and from what I've seen, Katanagatari's animation and style are top-notch.

Oh right, there's a cultural festival. Kinda forgot about it since it took so bloody long to get from introducing it to actually having it. This episode was still fun. I like God Knows so just having that played made this episode enjoyable. It was also nice to get a non bossy Haruhi for once.
Oh hey, I remember this episode.

Good studios do good adaptations of good source material. Their track record is quite stellar and I would much rather see a show by White Fox than one done by Deen or Gainax (among others)
That arc is going to be censored HARD though :/
and yea Kurapica was far stronger than killua at that point
Huh, you didn't like the character designs? I was quite fond of them. =\
Leave The Laws of the Sun for last.
Will it? I don't recall anything in the next arc that would require massive censoring.
I like the original designs. But the way they were portrayed in the show was pretty... Sterile.

But that's the next one. I know I already watched The Laws of Eternity, but I thought I could watch the rest in the order of release.
Ahh, okay I don't remember that at all. Man, I reread the series not long ago and I've already forgotten this arc nearly entirely... I only not long realised the next arc people were referring to wasn't the Greed Island arc ._.
edit: the more I think about it the less it makes sense for me to forget about the arc before Greed Island because Greed Island wouldn't even happen without the previous arc... buh.
Nah, it's the movie that fills everything in and has the biggest reveals.
Crash Station

Well Greed Island also has the mad bomber and
Gon's hand getting blown to pieces
Katanagatari barely has any animation, besides the last episode and some moments in episodes prior to it.
The designs and the visual style of the show are great, sure, but White Fox have nothing to do with it, the source material already did the work for them.
I thought Katanagatari had all of its animation in its fight scenes. I might not be remembering correctly, but that's what I remember from it.

Pure hype. I'm really surprised that they're giving this much time to Teru though. I wonder if they even plan on ending on the entrance to the finals at this point.
Or maybe they'll keep extending the number of episodes until they get to 26!

Saki GAH WHAT
(One image is from the 7th and final Saki picture drama special. The other is from ep. 10, I think, of Saki Achiga-hen.)

Yes, that's Saki, in her last year of middle school, wearing a uniform that looks the same as the ones the Senriyama girls have in their junior high flashback. Yes, really.
I don't understand how this is possible, though, if they really are the same school. I mean, Senriyama is in North Osaka, while Kiyosumi is in Nagano. I don't think those places are that close to each other. (Teru's Shiraitodai, of course, is in Tokyo.) I don't remember Saki ever living in Osaka... and she's in that uniform in Kiyosumi's area, obviously, given that her cameo there is in a special about Nodoka and Yuki. So yeah, I don't get it... are they just similar-looking uniforms from different places, or is there something in Saki's past we don't know about...
Oh, and regardless, it's worth remembering that Saki would be two years behind them in school; Toki and co. are seniors now, while she's a freshman.

The plan is to have this round go through ep. 12, and then have eps 13-15 cover the other four rounds, remember. But yeah, right, the episode's out now... I'll have to watch this soon.
(Also, see the above spoilered stuff!)
Extremely short fight scenes with poor animation and direction in all episodes but the last one.
Maybe there were a couple of more episodes with decent animation, I recall one fight scene in episode 9
the flashback, or illusion (don't remember) of the fight against the chick with the wooden sword
I love the show, but I can't help but to think what a more competent studio could have done with the fight scenes.
Haiyore! Nyaruko-san 9-11
These aliens vastly overestimate the quality and importance of Earth's entertainment... And this very show is a convenient example of why. Watching three episodes of this in a row is a pain. All the unrequited love jokes and bishounen antics were already tired by episode 5... And yet they're basically 90% of what it has to offer.
Thankfully there are still the references and the self-awareness.
Well, at least the finale will probably be interesting.

The reason why the Space Child Guardian wants to destroy Earth... Is brilliant.

Maybe it's just me but this episode felt rather cheap animation wise when compared to past episodes. It's kinda a shame as the show's been pretty consistant so far in just how slick it usually feels.
