Short? It's the same length as any of the other episodes, I believe... isn't it?

As for the episode,
"Happy endings for everyone" basically sums it up. Yes, even Makoto. As much as I like happy endings, I remember thinking that it was a bit TOO happy, compared to the tone of the show...

It does have some good scenes though, like Mai and her friend, who are now in Germany for the year. :)

I was just saying short since it's just one OVA for a sequel.

That sounds...rather light-hearted. I doubt I'm ever going to watch it if it's just that.

I passed out midway through Fate/Zero 11. Forgive me, my Fatebros' =(

All I remember is watching characters drinking something.

Sakamichi no Apollon no Slope no Kids whatever 1

Maybe this show will finally inspire me to start playing piano again! Who knows.

Watch Nodame live action. It inspired my friend to pick up the piano again.

Tsuritama 01 I really liked it. Haru is adorable
I think this and Apollon will be my favourite new shows of the season. With Space Bros and Lupin too.

Hyouka, bro. Trust me!

BONES cycle, guys.

Replace Sonic with Nanashi from Sword of the Stranger.

Nodame is the only time a live action Japanese work is superior to anime/manga.

Kanon 10

so makoto's actually a reincarnation of a fox that yuuichi helped when he was a kid? and she's making miracles happen at the expense of her life?
aahhahahahahaaa are you fucking kidding me? this shit is so dumb it's giving me a fucking terrible headache. fuck fuck fuck

How is that so hard to comprehend?

Makes sense.

Well, this was certainly much better than I expected. Although I honestly don't see how this could fit in the same universe as the original.
dat omigawa's gonna be in the next episode!



Ugh, I'm gonna regret doing this aren't I?

Meanwhile, I get to watch Cowboy Bebop. :)

i can't believe someone actually wrote this convoluted shit. thankfully there's only a special left so i can put this suffering behind me... until yami to boushi that is.

Meanwhile, I get to watch Cowboy Bebop. :)

How is that coming along?
Where are the episode 5 impressions? You know everyone's waiting on them, they just pretend like they don't care. The fifth episode is the one that should make you see the light.

I'll watch some more Bebop today after I finish catching up on the stuff that aired yesterday, like Medaka, AO, Zombie, etc.

Of course you are. Who wouldn't want to hear about Bebop the Cowboy's adventures?

Eureka Seven Ao 1

[...] Ao's already so much more tolerable a protagonist than Renton, it's not even funny. Like Renton post major development, I actually found myself quite impressed at how pro-active Ao was[...]
Well, being a better protagonist than Renton isn't particularly hard work!

How can you be sleeping through one of the best parts of the whole show?

Eureka 7 AO

I think I like this better than the first episode of Eureka 7, Ao is a better protagonist than Renton, that's for sure. The
Island being blown to bits was pretty cool.

The biggest flaw for me is that I have no idea what have these special terms are, I really need to start up E7 again. :(

The music was pretty varied though, some of it was good, and some of it was quite bad.

Kanon Kazahana



and so makoto magically makes a brief reappearance for some dumb reason.
whatever. i'm over this shit

YOU KNOW WHAT YOU MUST DO NOW.


While I enjoy watch Bebop hunt bounties. :)

Caught the bug last night marathoned a chunk, and just watched another. I already wasn't really wrapping my head around the realm of the truth, and things just got even more wtf. If
the real Alphonse really is stuck inside the portal, then who... has ed...unless Alphonse's consciousness spans planes.
I'm stumped, but this series is interesting as hell, nonetheless.

That's not Jo Jo's Bizarre Adventure!
I've heard you guys complain but was BRS really that bad?

Impressively so!

People told me the stories weren't really that completely related so I could watch AO without being terribly confused.

....yeah, I should watch the original but 50 episodes...
You should probably just watch Eureka Seven because it's a very well known and well liked series. I don't personally think it's that great, but the people who enjoy that show really seem to love it.
DEEN makes a serious come-back, it looks as if BONES, themselves, put out a return to form, and I find myself actually looking forward to Okada's writing. This season is BANANAS.
The best show hasn't even aired yet!

Sakamichi no Apollon 1

That was fantastic. It's kind of incredible how much happens in that episode. It feels like there's plenty of space in it, but there's practically two episodes worth of material there.

I like the lighting. It's not mesmerizing, but it establishes the mood very effectively. The darkness of the school and shop create a contrast with the studio environment.

I loved watching that drum solo. You almost never see the playing of music (especially the drums) animated with that much attention to detail. I got goosebumps.

Man, this season is incredible so far.

So is anime still saved?
You know, the worst thing of this is having to hear in the near future more "noitaminA is dead" or comments like that when people start comparing shows. Quality like the presented right now is going to be difficult to maintain on a cyclic TV block of this kind.

We certainly have to enjoy the moment!

Ha Rarity gets what she deserves! Be a jerk in the last episode and karma whacks you over the head in the next episode. Luckily for Rarity, Fluttershy bails her out.

The Cutie Mark Crusaders are so adorable. Obnoxious, bratty, fiendish little kids but so adorable none the less. Sweetie Belle’s “lullaby” was so moe and Hammer. Hammer. Applebloom is still the best but Sweetie Belle is still great too, a lot better than her hag of an older sister. Hopefully Scootaloo gets some more screen time.

Man the Everfree Forest is such a scary, scary place. Poor Twilight Sparkle totally blew it off like she mastered the place, and
the next thing she knows she’s turned into a statue with a snail crawling all over her. GROSS ;_;

Fluttershy’s stare is funny because it’s the antithesis to her typical moe. Or it’s supposed to be I don’t know, doesn’t do anything for me. Still don’t like Fluttershy at all.

Asks questions so Ezalc doesn't have to
So I only watched the first 14 episodes of Steins Gate, I never really loved it, but would anyone recommend watching the rest?

Normally I would say "FUCK YES!!!", but if 14 episodes haven't sold you on it, the remaining 10 likely won't.

Yes, if you're enjoying it even a little, I would say to continue, since it continually improves towards the end.

Cool, will do.

@RurouniZel

Well I seem to go through Anime 'phases' where I consume it in large portions and then never touch it again. Last time it was Mushi-shi, Mononoke, and some other stuff, as well as Steins Gate. I did enjoy it on some level, despite it being frustrating at times. I'm sure when I watch the next episode I'll be hooked again.

Ah okay. Then I'd say continue. I find the ending to be quite good. :D

But I don't really think it's the show quality in particular that people complain about on noitaminA, but rather the type of content which they started showing instead.

Tsuritama 01:

Very colorful and some nice animation, but the characters are too repulsive for my tastes. Looks like it will only get even more nonsensical over time. 1 good noitamina is better than none I guess.

Dropped.
