Oh it probably was intentional as you say though I would think it's both.

So much is happening.
The church scene was pretty sad to watch and I am somewhat feeling bad for Kariya.

It's doesn't always feel right to take a cynical stance and condemn a show after a certain point but more often than not its the I tend to find that's it's usually the correct stance.

Still good for adorable roundcats.
All in due time.
I couldn't choose between Yami and School Days if I was asked to, to be honest. They're both trolltastic.
Actually, that particular revelation is first mentioned in 12, it just plays a larger role in 13.
My experience with them is about 50/50 at present.

CONGRATULATIONS! You are now truly one of us.
I'm laughing more than I should at the Menma gif. You should just loop Last Train Home on youtube a few times while meditating on Yami. It's pretty appropriate.

This is such a crazy school festival episode, I love it. The random rules they came up with just made this festival so interesting and memorable. The assault squad sure knows how to coordinate attacks. I also noticed that Kei has been surprisingly absent. Dunno what's his deal but I hope it's heading to where I'm thinking it will.
Also they better not touch my waifu Hasegawa cause if they do this series will be dropped faster than when I dropped Bleach

I was still at the denial stage about that moment in episode 12, it's really episode 13 where it sinks in.

Skipping episode 2 happened to make this experience better, but not by much.
Things seem to be rolling a bit, but overall it's still flat. There's not a notable interesting character or event in sight.

And I'm not particularly happy about being vindicated about Sankarea, either. I wouldn't be nearly as negative toward it as I am if it hadn't had such a strong start, so I find it incredibly regretful that my worst fears for the show are coming to pass. It deserved much better than it got.
But Hasegawa, Misato, Kawahama, and Oikawa are all cool

I don't think writers are as singularly important in the anime industry as you make them out to be. Sometimes you get original anime which clearly stem from one director/writer/mastermind, such as Ikuhara's Mawaru Penguindrum, but most of the time it's a group effort where the director, etc. have a great deal of say in what the scriptwriter puts out. In Lagrange's case, the original creator is credited as "Production I.G.", which in combination with its scatter-shot nature leads me to believe that it was even more of a committee production than usual.
It's even less important for adaptations, of course. The series composition of Space Brothers, which has gotten some praise for its writing around here, is being done by Makoto Uezu, who previously played the same role in such shows as School Days and Seikon no Qwaser.
I find it very curious that you should say such, as I found the episode to be visually lacking at spots, such as some group shots where the lack of detail became problematic.
They didn't even bother to animate lip flaps in this scene.
Of course these are small nitpicks, as the show in general still looks quite good, but it was made more noticeable to me as it came off the back of episode 6, the best looking episode in the show thanks to its overabundance of animation, with lots of fluid character movements and background motion.
I felt the same way. As I said there, it goes back to a general quirk of Nakamura's direction that at times makes it difficult to connect with and follow the narrative.
I have a feeling that conflict will play a fairly large role in the second half of the show. The first half was a steady process of integration: Yuki, Haru, Natsuki, and Akira have gradually learned to overcome their personal flaws and establish bonds of friendship with each other. This culminated in the tuna fishing trip in episode 6, with Akira being fully accepted as one of the bros when the other congratulated him on his assistance at the wheel. Immediately after that came the memory loss incident, and the immediate fallout of that separated Haru from the others due to his fear of his own actions. My prediction is that the second half of the show will be a steady process of disintegration, as the friendship of the four comes under increasing stress and the "Bermuda Syndrome" issue reaches its climax. Yuki will likely be the one who has to stand up and fight for his friends, Enoshima, and, as his opening monologue said, the world. Afterwards, the boys' friendship will end up being stronger than ever.
Bwahahaha. It's incredibly fitting.
Already watched. Pretty good anime.
Added all of those to my list. Thanks a lot!

I find them all just lame thus far, maybe one of them will do something entertaining in episode 5.

ANN is a great source of staff information and a decent source of news (aside from their fascination with dumb Biglobe polls), but their review staff is not reliable at all. Unfortunately, there's not really any other anime review website I could heartily endorse either. If you're looking for opinions on a particular show, you're better off asking in here, as there are several intelligent people who can guide you well. Just as long as you can ignore the trolling.

Sengoku Paradise Kiwami 01-07
So another Sengoku era anime. This time it has mostly pretty boys, there was one busty female, and its 3 minute long episodes. I pretty much enjoyed each episode, they were short, mostly funny, and decently informative as well. Of course, it could just be the pretty boys in the Sengoku period again that makes me like this.

Saint Seiya Omega 9
It became Naruto for a moment (substitution jutsu). I liked it. Haruto for my third favorite Saint (Kouga, Souma, Haruto, Ryuuhou).
Can't wait for next weeks.

Ninja saint is actually pretty cool and I like it. He has cool attacks and so many of them and even his transformation sequence was fun. This series has been pretty grim so far everything bad keeps happening and it keeps taking it to the next level.
Can't wait for next weeks.
Yeah, I'm definitely not looking at reviews or anything op-ed on ANN, just their general black and white news and occasionally the answerman column.

Pronoun problems go!
I definitely didn't mean to imply that this episode of Tsuritama was the best-animated episode, as episode six is still easily the best in that regard. I felt that this episode had great background detail and strong use of color, although I'll also cede that the part of the episode from
the boat trip
there are only so many way to draw a boat in the water
Fortunately I haven't noticed this type of thing happening too much in Tsuritama, so it's easily forgivable. Among the Nakamura works that I've seen, I've found Tsuritama to be the easiest to follow by far.
I'm not the kind of person that requires a work to have a grand narrative or emotional climax if it doesn't make me feel particularly invested in the plot or the characters from the start, though in the particular instance of Tsuritama, this is almost certainly the fault of my general sense of detachment from the series as a whole rather than any actual deficiency in characterization or plot. I'm just now getting over these feelings of detachment thanks to a strong past couple of episodes, so my need for
character conflict

Your prediction for the direction of the show is logical, and I wouldn't mind that set of events at all were it to occur. At this moment, I'm having slight difficulty understanding
just what is causing so much strain in the relationship between Natsuki and his father
the character drama was largely between the four friends
You probably don't want to hear this, but that ain't milk in the taiyaki.
Hey, it could be an escaped genderbent cow from another sengoku series! ^^

Hopefully there will more Oka in the next episode.

lost himself for a moment there, but I'm glad he came to his senses before he did something he'd truly regret. Also glad the incident was resolved in this episode, as I was fearing they were going to extend it for the next two episodes with some awkward avoiding before they came to a resolution in ep 11 or 12.
Hopefully there will more Oka in the next episode.

Yeah, ANN is a good resource and a decent news site, but the editorial content on the site...leaves a lot to be desired. I do think it's a shame that there really isn't a good site for anime reviews or criticism, but I guess it's easier to get a bunch of idiots to write form reviews.

I am hopeful about Legrange being more serious with how the first season ended. The implications for where the show is headed certainly leaves less room for entire episodes of antics.
Same here, I don't find it necessary but seeing all those theories people come up with (those illusions and possibilities they want to see) is also part of the fun for me. That collaborative effort on a friendly atmosphere, a thing of the moment to share with others... at the end it doesn't matter, in my opinion, if the theories were right as long as those said moments that spawned them were enjoyable.
Many so-called fan specific websites or forums work on this principle; as I see it, those aren't places for trying to "rediscover" (reinventing the wheel) something it wasn't needed to be discovered, but to give your opinion on things so people can understand you better and know how your mind works, a place where appear close to each other but using a topic in common as a base or starting point. A segregation to feel comfortable searching those people with interests akin to yours.

Yeah, I know. I'm just venting because his episodes of Eureka Seven, outside of one that I actually enjoyed, haven't been very good.

Nice to see it's exactly as stupid as it was first season. More fanservice than you can shake a stick at, insert songs going on whenever they feel like it. And, I guess we now have lesbian schoolgirls and a little sister to do something. At this point, it's gonna be a running bet to see how long into this season I'll last before I drop punt it.
