Story

Imperial Year 2017.
The young man Lelouche who had his right to succession take from him became the masked man known as "Zero" and caused the great conflict against his mother country The Holy Empire of Brittania known as the "Black Rebellion". While the flames of resentment against Brittania were being fanned, the Empire of Brittania seeks to suppress this with overwhelming force.

At the same time in Europe, against the overwhelming force of the Brittaninan empire, the Euopean Union (E.U.) has been slowly retreating its defensive line.
For the E.U. on the brink of defeat, the Special Forces unit "W-0" installed Hinata Akito as a pilot and former Brittanian royal Layla Marcale as the commander.
"W-0" is the Knightmare squad made up only of Japanese boys and girls thrown into and executing a plan with a very low chance of success.

With gruesome pasts and a cruel present, these boys must create the "home" they can go back to and to protect it must start fighting in the world of adults.

Sounds good to me!

A few more tidbits of info on the development of the Little Busters anime, via Takahiro Baba's Twitter:
The president of Visual Art's announced in his Twitter account that the cast of Little Busters anime hasn't been fixed yet but the anime will be aired not so far in the future. He didn't reveal the production studio but he said the producers have been under tremendous pressure since they are aware of the high expectation of the fans. He said the quality of the trailer was not high because Visual Art's themselves made the animation using image sequences sent from the production studio.

When not trying to cause permanent damage!

I think we cause permanent damage, intent be damned! ψ(`∇´)ψ

One of the characters looks exactly like Gammon in Phi Brain, well at least his character portrait, otherwise the rest look pretty nice.

Glad I wasn't the only one who felt they were similar.

This plot is basically Valkyria 3. :lol

Yep, I'm just waiting for them to refer to each other only by numbers.

The studio is under pressure due to high expectations? Not a major studio, confirmed. I bet it's White Fox as rumored.

Wow, so we finally got exiled. I access the thread through my subscriptions so I didn't even notice until other people mentioned it.

I still can't fathom how Mad Pierrot watched nearly every quality anime that GAF recommended to him. A true masochist.

Truth be told, the trick was that I knew the ending to two out of three of the shows so I was able to watch with a perverse excitement anticipating what I knew everything was leading up to.

After 37 episodes of hell between Arjuna, School Days, and Blood-C, Eiken stopped me dead in my tracks in ten minutes. I'm no hero.

The funniest part of episode one was this:

I hope for its reputation episode two does better![/QUOTE]

Every time I see anything Eiken I continue to be horrified by the artwork, design, the ... everything!! Truly terrifying work.

37 episodes of shitty anime.. that's more destructive mental pressure than most of us could ever take.

That does remind me I can't remember why I never finished Dog Days.

Same. I was on MAL and randomly browsing through stuff when I noticed that the voice for the main character of Dog Days did Okabe in Steins;Gate :eek: Makes me want to finish it now...

It's a fun show, it's not very serious and the girls are cute, you should finish it, especially with the second season on the way!
 
All I remember from dog days was that musical performance thing was a horrible disgusting nightmare inducing blend of deformed faces and bad cg rigs.

Well, that was tame. I feel like I've been trolled. The subverted token loli was clever, but the rest was rather underwhelming.


Overall, I give this

Wait, where in this place?

I'm out!

What?

I can't believe this. I haven't felt this kind of betrayal since the time Hulk Hogan turned his back on justice and leg dropped Macho Man at Bash at the Beach.

Also smh Firemind. No wonder why Lafiel liked you so much.

Lupin III 02:

I suppose that if Lupin hadn't
destroyed the formula to that invincibility substance
than the show would just be over because
he'd never be in danger from anyone or anything ever again
.

Looks like I should get used to all sorts of seedy individuals appearing, causing trouble for Lupin, and being dealt with all in the course of an episode. I hope they're all not quite as gimmicky as this episode's bad guy.

Lupin III 03:

Man, if the Taliban could just grow explosive flowers instead of growing flowers to help pay for explosives, we'd all be fucked.

Score one for Fujiko, nice job
keeping World War III from accidentally being triggered
there at the end.

Charles Manson III 04:


what the fuck was that episode?
Lupin spends a whole year in prison when he could have escaped immediately
because his PRIDE was hurt? I don't think that I've ever seen
a year pass in a single episode of something
just because.

I'll admit that Lupin's plan to
escape from prison
was pretty brilliant, if more than little evil.
Sending an innocent man to die in his place
? Lupin doesn't mess around.

All the f/z praise has me curious.

It's because it's a good show that you should watch. The majority of people who managed to survive the first episode will tell you as much.
