Well, the visuals are pretty good. Like, very good. And I don't find the show as lacking in other departments as other people do, the character chemistry isn't exactly thrilling but it works well enough and keeps me interested beyond the visuals. Plus, the occasional "wacky" eps are very fun. It's a good show.

There are 2 big reasons why you are wrong.
Above Your Hand is still my favorite for this season.
It's literally the one ED that I have to watch through every time.

Wandering Son wasn't quite as compressed, since it extracted 6 volumes of the manga whereas Kids on the Slope is trying to fit in its entire 9-volume run. But you're right that KotS has other issues. If I were handling the adaptation, I would have cut the side character material more ruthlessly so the series could focus more strongly on the Kaoru/Sentarou relationship and jazz, its strongest elements.
I like Idolm@ster. Because it's a overall pretty well-directed show with excellent visuals and character designs, in addition has a diverse range of episodes with various degrees of different tones and settings, that are all mostly done pretty well. Plus I love the "idol" theme, and while the lack of chemistry between the cast doesn't make it reach the iconic heights of say K-ON!! I enjoyed the characters of yayoi, makoto, miki and chihaya well enough!
Takane sucks
and
Chihaya rocks!
You might have some strange fetish for flabby tissue, but don't lump us all in with your weirdness!
Didn't mean to make it more difficult :lol. Thanks for the info though! Much appreciated.
Ooh yeah, that's a good one too; probably didn't come to mind since Sankarea isn't is on my watchlist. Amusingly the same thing happened with Annabel last season, with Anamnesis from Another.
Characters aside, I can at least say that Asami Imai > Yumi Hara, not that the latter isn't doing a good job in Dusk Maiden.
Heh, no problem, I remembered seeing it on 4chan a while back so it was just a quick archive search, and I only bothered to fill in like three of the blanks anyway.
Squirrel girls are indeed awesome.
thought you didn't like extra sets of ears!
I thought Makoto didn't have human ears.

"And Ubrabe spake all these words, saying, I am the LORD thy God.
Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments."

Also, this is the third episode of a show this week that prominently features hair. I smell a conspiracy.

Normally I would have pegged this episode as a filler episode or in the nothing really progresses much category, but Mutta's thought process throughout carried this episode.
I've noticed there have been a few weeks where various shows follow the same thematic or phrase in the same week, like the Samurai "Once again i've cut something useless." phrase which happened in Lupin III and Upotte in the same week, there are other instances but that's the only one at the top of my head right now.

Well, I didn't really find anything to like apart from the production values and the only episode I genuinely enjoyed was
the one with the runaway bride
Plus I'm still bitter about fang girl's episode. Best girl gets the worst episode? Fuck that.
i've been looking for this for a while now. thanks heaps!

The CG bus is everything its cracked up to be
How many of these tests actually occur IRL? I must know the realism of this show
the thing about coincidences is that they stay with you
something, somewhere is going to coincide at some point
its like those people who pray and somehow something related happens and then zomg miracle jesus

Day one perch.
I never even WATCHED the fang girl episode.
The right thing to do for idolmaster is to watch 4~9, watch 15, then watch 23~24.

This was really fucking good. Stage-setting bonanza with the characters being set into motion, loosed at last from all the momentum built up throughout the series. Even the title for next episode is fucking win.

the show is rather fond of choking women. Whether it's with two hands gripping tightly their necks or a worm rammed down the throat of a young girl . . .

Truly, the hallmark of a great show is when you have to give recommendations like this.

only seen ep one, but im liking dusk maiden so far
I'm not sure of that although I understand the reason why you say it. I think the animation character designs from the new Lupin the Third series could be considered detailed as seen on the model sheets but I also think it depends more on how those lend itself easily for a useful simplification, in my opinion the plasticity and basic distinctiveness is there.
However what the art direction wanted on stylistic choices appears not toned down depending on the nature of the scene's animation, as you said, so because of that I think this is more a general problem, or better said bold choice, rather than one dependent of character design or specific things that, as I see it, can be left aside.
No need to thank me, I'm here to help... but now that I see that I'm curious to know... what "heaps" exactly means in the context of that expression? I don't know much English vocabulary like that (or any as you can see above).

Writers in the west almost always avoid it because actors either have to wear a wig or get the actual haircut.
But even then, when it happens, it's usually on the scale of Breaking Bad rather than Apollon.

Fujiko Mine 9
I enjoyed this episode, Fujiko suddenly becomes more interesting by virtue of being rendered incompetent throughout (or at least when she is given an obstacle to run up against). And It's no surprise that the quality has followed the entire cast being implemented better. I'm starting to see why Lupin is so likeable, a complete scene-stealer if there ever was one!
Owls are so sinister! That imagery is really effective, and coupled with the audio cues, it really helps to hammer the darker elements home whenever they decide to dispatch with the silliness. It looks like its set for a strong finish, just a little unfortunate that it seemed to meander so much in the earlier episodes.
I think I might watch the Castle of Cagliostro today and kickstart my introduction into Lupin.

- This is going to be shit, isn't it?
- So it's a school for closet lesbians.
- Troll-sama is shaping up to be the only good thing about this show.
- These sorts of character fan clubs need to be systematically rounded up and fired into the sun.

- Oh my god they did not seriously make theOVA last episode all about glasses fetish girl, a genuine contender for the most annoying character ever.
- Troll-sama was the only good thing about this show.
Nope.

In reality,it shouldn't be hard for the film to outdo itself in any aspect, (as the first one might as well have been created by a 4th grader) but that one might prove a challenge.

Azusa > all
She's definitely the best aspect of the show. I've got a bit of a soft spot for Subaru as well 'cause she's cute, but everything other than Troll-sama and Subaru is absolute shit. I had fun watching it, but I won't deny how bad the rest of it is.
I agree with the character fanclubs bit, it's really contrived and boring. And yes, they devoted an entire episode to the cow who's fucking annoying as shit. >>; If they're going to devote an episode to a character, it needs to be Troll-sama. XD

Also, some of dem moves at the end of the episode were mighty appreciated

After the last episode, a bit of fighting (without getting destroyed in 3 seconds) was what I needed.
