Well, I suppose that was to be expected based off what we had already seen. The background art in the shot you posted looks really bland as well.

I suppose Eureka Seven just isn't popular enough! Or they're asking for too much money for it.
What do you think I do for 12 hours every night?
That's pretty much ALL I do for 6 days a week is work and sleep.
It sucks.

You're quite lucky, really, not that many people even know about Yami. You're one of the select few!

Enjoying the good that exists instead of being discouraged by the bad that will always be present is the healthy choice, in anime viewing as in life.
Is it wrong I really liked the OP?

If you like any part of Yami then there's something wrong with you.
Shining Hearts
A china/cat girl hybrid. Thats the deconstruction of so many things!
But a pretty worthless anime like K-on! just with weaker animations and bread instead of cakes.
As awkward as the character design is the background art in that shot is really nice. ANN says it's by Studio Easter, who have worked on quite a large number of titles. Hmmm.
Y'know, I wonder what Icarus is up to. He hasn't posted much in this thread.
I fear for the future of this http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=470109. Only 12 replies at this moment, and we have talked about the show in here much more than that. Compared to other official threads this is unfair...
That should be the spirit, yeah.
I loved it. It had some amazing music and it felt like Eureka 7 which is great. I did not expect they were going to use orchestrated music. The animation was also amazing and I hope they keep this kind of quality throughout.
They even did the "Tsuzuku" at the end.
the sequence where the G-monster was destroying things in conjunction with the music was glorious

Something is wrong here.
For a second or two.

It would be nice if someone could list all OT's
This must be rectified!
But if she shows up at all that's a good start. Can't wait to see it.
Is the not-Renton more tolerable than actual Renton?
2 seconds, and she doesn't have any lines. However, judging from the preview, there's going to be a lot of her in the second episode.
Ao is much better than Renton.
So far, much better, although that can still go to shit the moment he jumps in Nirvash or whatever it's going to be called.
Ao also has to deal with more shit then Renton because he is a outsider and outsiders are not well liked.

Not that it matters, it's all about Omigawa anyway.
Well I'm watching the first season and 3 episodes in, it's pretty great, so I have high hopes for this. Its not that Renton is really terrible, but he's so prone to do absolutely stupid shit that it's difficult to take him seriously. I really hope that AO is slightly more sensible.
Oh yes! And editing it into the OP of this thread would be cool as well.
That's what I thought when it happened but then they did absolutely nothing with the concept for the whole episode.
Space Bros
Upotte!!
Eureka Seven
Lupin
Tsuritama
Apollon/Kids on the Slope
St Seiya Omega
Fate/Zero
Zetman
I believe that's all of them.
That's disappointing. so its a case of false advertising
Fucking anime with the buzzkills.
Unless you have a thing for running animation, it's not worth your time.

Night on the Galactic Railroad
Watched it for the first time yesterday. Definitely one of my top movies of all time. Very depressing but very rewarding, shows the power of animated cinema. The tone, the smart composition and metaphorical imagery, and the music (by a member of YMO) were just perfect. Pretty much weeped during the whole second half, but I cried so hard at
. And it couldn't have come at a better point of my life. What a journey, when it ended I felt the same emotional daze I did after watching works like Mind Game, Haibane Renmei, Kaiba, Tatami Galaxy and Penguindrum because they all shared dat contrast between hope and melancholy, and realized their ambitions very well.
Speaking of Mawaru Penguindrum, I was also amazed how the movie was like a comprehension guide to it. Everything from the themes to the visual metaphors (color symbolism, trains,
and much more) of MW are present in NotGR.
Both works are very separate stories though but seeing both makes me appreciate them more I think. Anyway, now I'm all fired up for another MW run.
Very highly recommended.

I very much like these shows, so your description, if true, has me excited to see this.

Yes, I realise that I am a little slow to get around to this one. I was just letting it marinate.
The animation has certainly taken a hit this week, as compared to the opener, but I'm not really bothered in this talking-heads show. I understand that if they're going to make it a long series it certainly won't look particular consistent.
This episode was as enjoyable as last weeks, I really liked the use of audio during the interview segment. It was simple, but effective.
I look forward to more.

I see. I was wondering about that because I just finished episode 20 and it's still focusing on Chizuru.
I want ChizuruxRyu to happen sooooo badly. Step it up Ryu!
I may switch back to Aya later on, but Ruka is just so adorable.
I mean, how can you say no?!
I wish he would. There is yet to be a song adaptation that isn't improved by at least 500% when his voice talents are added.

I really need to get around to watching this (and everything else) but my backlog has been put on hold by the sheer volume of titles to watch this season.

Subete no aware
Certainly the background art is not what you're supposed to be paying attention to in that scene.

Well, obviously, but it stands out to me when it all looks so bland!
Apparently so, for the betterment of mankind.
I didn't notice that it had a background at first. I guess if I really look carefully it is barely visible.
Ao is angrier in general. You can see that fire when he's talking with the adults but also his interactions with Naru. He's more upset with the situation compared to Renton who was more mopey. Ao is also hated more compared to Renton though, who was a celebrity because of how famous his father was.
His meeting with Renton should be interesting as I don't think it'll be pleasant.
Fixed, thank you!
