Well, it's still beautiful.

Well I don't know if the Earth Cult are really there as a stand in for religion as a whole or simply a representation of the kinds of power that small, fanatical groups can wield and exert over much larger entities.
Of course, if they aren't there as a representation of religion then where, exactly, is religion in the LOGH universe? I do not know.
You should watch it all because its a great show.

Hyouka 06:
Chitanda has the world's worst memory, and Oreki learned what love is about.
Namely, that it constantly flips from this:
to this:
Not a memorable episode sans the normal high quality production values. Basically, a bad filler.
Next week preview: Time to sell dem Blu Rays!

*sigh*

How vain!
Didn't Onegai Twins do this already?
I will watch 1 episode of this filth.

It sure doesn't sound like a great show.

I'm still beautiful, but no one comes to see me every week...it's not fair!
People seem to be disliking it for the same reasons that I would dislike it. I'm just in it for the production quality at this point, so if the mysteries or character interaction decline in quality any further, I'm out.
I'll marathon 4-6 this afternoon and see if I agree with the complaints.
NOPE

I guess you're on in a bad time slot?
Hey, we've all been there. Don't judge me.
We'd totally post our weekly Ultimadrago impressions if there was a simulcast.

Pretty cool, too, but that's a mash-up and my pick was a groove. Apples and oranges. And I think it's less about the emotion and more about the restraint and vacuum feeling of 4U's remix.
Wouldn't it be more of a Ishii work, though? Koike's responsible for much of the directing and visual style, but he's not the one writing the story, the dialogue, the whateva.. What's so restrained about Redline?
I'm reminded of why I don't post too often: I say things that get me into too many arguments. This thread gets hectic in the early morning.

I'm pretty sure the Earth Cult is meant to be a representation of religion as a whole. There's a comment in one of the history lessons that all humanity spontaneously gave up organized religion after nuclear war (if that hasn't happened by now, it's not going to happen in the future), and if I recall correctly the connection is explicitly made that the Earth Cult is a return of the spirit of that old religion.
Oh your post made it sound like you hadn't even started it.

Disgusting. What kind of sick person would actually watch this?
when is the first episode airing?
Ultimadrago Ep.01
What the show lacked in substance it made up for with great visuals. The moment when
left me in awe.
Overall it looks like they are doing a lot with a modest budget. Some of the themes seem very shoujo(-esque) especially the overly melodramatic MC. I will give it the 3 episode try, and then see if it's worth watching after that.

I'm going to tune in next week to solve the mystery of how we will get through an entire episode of cute girls in an onsen without a single shot of fanservice. Because you know, it's KyoAni and there probably won't be any.

But of course, my existence is inspired by Ace o Nerae!
The answer is that it will be all teen boy service.

I would tune in for that.

Well, considering that was my favourite episode in the series, probably.
I can't stop thinking about it.

stop watching shitty animes
Hyouka Ep4-5 are really up there with some of the other best episodes of this season. They really show that the show has a ton of potential. Unfortunately this isn't a consistent thing and show the weakness of being a slave to bad source material.

True, but that really shouldn't count for anything when the show still manages to be bad despite all the effort spent on art/animation/storyboarding/cinematography. In fact, it just reinforces what a waste of time the whole project because these talented individual could clearly be working on something far better.
dude, mark that image nsfw.

I thought that was the case, but I hadn't bothered going back to the episode in question and double checking.

EmmanuelMunoz is too intelligent to heed opinions of people that use the word "animes" as a plural.
The material is just too deep

Phi Brain 2 ep8
Ana was so silly during the puzzle, but he always knows whats best for Kaito, almost better than Nonoha. I enjoyed the match.

Jikukawa and the POG with that Forbidden Pond subplot sounds cool. I can't wait until its brought to the surface. I guess Orpheus Order is deeper than I originally thought.
I don't think any of us know how to do that... not that this particular anime is bad...or anything...
You should have seen some of the images I DIDN'T post.

I was imitating "cartoon old man" talk. It doesn't count!
Though I did greatly overshoot what I said there about how many anime series I'd watch this spring.

It's much like the dichotomy between Chao and Chaos. Chao is plural, dingus-es.

Search has ruined/saved everything.
How bad is the censorship? I might just wait for the BDs.
It is a shame, indeed. KyoAni should really be investing their talents into something else.
But I've watched crappier shows with less production values and hardly any good animation moments, so the visuals are enough to keep me coming week after week.

Don't make me use my Homing Attack.
Never have chaos been this "huggable".
Or, if we're playing Sonic Adventure: don't make me use Gamma![/url]
Maybe we could have Chao Moe. That would work really well, considering how many different types of Chao can be bred.
