On a scale of 1 to 10, how excited are you for E7AO ep2?

10. It's not even my favorite show of the season, but it's my most hyped episode this week!

Gundam 00 S2 25

Spoiler

0 Gundam vs Exia?

Fuuuuuuck yes. It doesn't make up for the rest of this being a heap of shit though.

I think you mean

Spoiler

RX-79 vs Exia

You have your models mixed up.

Spoiler

79 is from The 08th MS Team.

Meh, not really. Talented people make good art that lasts forever.

True. I'd say your statement holds true more in movies than TV series though. It's just that when I think of 50+ episode TV series, I don't expect consistent, competent animation due to budget limitations. Sorry if my statements rubbed on the wrong sides of people.

 

[Jex]

I don't think getting hooked on The Idolmaster was a clever thing to to do. Unless he was trolling.

With the way he's been drawing little girls into his story, I think not.

Art through adversity. More restraints makes them more creative!

 

[firehawk12]

No, just extrapolating it from positive flashbacks and happiness.

Spoiler

Daddy issues

don't necessarily have to be negative!

Spoiler

Girls who love their dads transfer that love to the man they want to marry!

That's the other cliche! lol

 

[Femmeworth]

Going by that logic, Studio DEEN must be one creative studio.

 

[Jex]

So come on guys, admit it, who has purchased some of this sweet Yami swag:

That just makes me think of Evangelion's last few episodes when GAINAX was running out of money.

 

[Risette]

That's exactly what I mean though. Amazing episodes.

DEEN has no talent.

 

[Lain]

You just can't appreciate perfection.

The worst part about this is that not only I clicked, I also listened to all of it.

I actually agree with Pizzaroll here. You just need to take into account the need of ingenuity, on the flipside.

Hayate no Gotoku 28

What are you doing there, Jigen?

 

[frostbyte]

That's exactly what I mean though. Amazing episodes.

Indeed. I actually half expected Kare Kano style episodes of dolls when I watched Evangelion because of the stories of their infamous budget planning. Instead, I got some stunningly analytical episodes through the individual dream sequences.

I need to rewatch it again someday soon. What's animeGAF's stance on Evangelion?

This seems to be one of the most randomly referential shows around, going by your impressions.

 

[duckroll]

10. It's not even my favorite show of the season, but it's my most hyped episode this week!

I'm hyped for the OP. I have high expectations for BONES OPs.

 

[Crash Station]

This seems to be one of the most randomly referential shows around, going by your impressions.

It's pretty much Gintama + Oh! Edo Rocket in terms of presentation and structure, though it isn't as good as the former. I think it references even more stuff than Gintama.

 

[iavi]

DEEN has no talent.

Is what we all thought, but from the ashes came Sankarea.

 

[Jex]

True, the people who hate Omigawa surely must be deaf.

One day they'll come around, like the rest of us.

 

[Femmeworth]

I actually agree with Pizzaroll here. You just need to take into account the need of ingenuity, on the flipside.

I don't quite disagree with what he said, creativity certainly can arise from limitations.

Hayate is pure reference porn.

Can't get hyped. The sample I've heard of the OP song sounds so bad. The visuals will probably be great though.

 

[Risette]

I don't quite disagree with what he said, creativity certainly can arise from limitations.

It's especially true for anime though. Pretty much the entire industry as we know it today has been/is shaped around creativity spawned through limitations.

Yami to Boushi to Hon no Tabibito 01

This is just my Moonlight Lady background talking, but I am finding it very hard to restrain myself from masturbating at these character designs WHAT THE FUCK IS UP WITH THE SHAKY CAM STOP THAT SHIT ALREADY

Spoiler

why doesn't she question this chocobo thing? why does she so easily accept the fact than blondie just straight up vanished into thin air? what does the russian mafia have to do with any of this? where are they going? the fuck does any of this have to do with the yuriez?

So many questions, not enough shits given. I'm gonna go watch Moonlight Lady instead.

I think it's important to remember that Yami is not about answering your questions. It's about making the audience wait for sequences that will contain this kind of material:

Also, fun fact for those familiar with all of Yami (you poor fools...), the absolutely awful monster that you witness in Quile's episode was not, in fact, just an animation error on the part of studio DEEN. It was designed too look like that -

Did a three year old come up with this design?

 

[duckroll]

Can't get hyped. The sample I've heard of the OP song sounds so bad. The visuals will probably be great though.

We can probably just replace the song with something superior from E7!

[Onemic]

I'm enjoying it without having seen F/SN. It's pretty great too, the kind of thing people can point to when folk talk about the lack of "good" anime anymore.

Watched the first episode. Officially adding to my anime watch list.

The worst part about E7 AO so far is the ending isn't as good as this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WSEdM4h-11k

Good man, the best people liked the first episode.

Better yet, we can slap Chamillionare on top ala SS aka Best OP ever.

Pff. The Ao ED blows this away, absolute truth. Now, "Tips Tap Tip," and we can have tea.

That's just not true. "Canvas" is the worst.

[Mysterious Girlfriend X - 2]

It seems like dating Urabae is a lot of hard work but, then again, so is dating any girl with magical saliva.

This episode was up to the standards of the last one, which means that it's pretty good, although I still dislike the art (personal preference). So far it looks like this show will just be tackling high-school romance material from a really bizarre perspective - and there's nothing wrong with that.

Kore wa Zombie Desu Ka of the dead 2

(I think this was posted, but I'm posting it again)

I still find it hilarious that NO ONE questions the transforming magic, the superhuman abilities and the giant ass squid. These people just don't give a shit.

Welcome to the club.

Why aren't you watching F1?

Wasn't it so surprising?

Wasn't it so surprising?

I'd already seen that scene on youtube before but the buildup to it sure is something. It's fucking amazing either way.

 

[Envelope]

Envelope, don't you have more episodes of Bebop the Cowboy to be watching?

I've saving them for the plane ride.

I'd already seen that scene on youtube before but the buildup to it sure is something. It's fucking amazing either way.

Go watch some more!

I love the start already.

i'm a bit busy atm but i'll be sure to watch another 2-3 episodes tonight!

Eureka Seven 1

This was a better introductory episode than E7 AO's ep 1. I didn't feel as lost as I did in AO and most of the phrases/terms like LFO were understandable via context.
.
Animation is pretty good to be holding up even today. I liked the music direction better in AO but this isn't bad either.

It's going to be interesting comparing how E7 and AO are going to be like. I don't mind spoilers if the two series are just tangentially related.

I've rewatched the first three episodes to see if my nostalgia glasses were still in and the episodes still hold pretty well. The directing I thought was pretty good and the animation is still fairly impressive as you said. I do agree the music in AO so far sounds better but I'm not sure how long that'll last. My worries about the music though have really been put to rest.

True. I'd say your statement holds true more in movies than TV series though. It's just that when I think of 50+ episode TV series, I don't expect consistent, competent animation due to budget limitations. Sorry if my statements rubbed on the wrong sides of people.

The animation I would say isn't really consistent though. It has its ups and downs with the ups being insanely high.

I'm hyped for the OP. I have high expectations for BONES OPs.

Mine is rock bottom. That song for the OP looks absolutely horrid. It's one of the worst I've seen from Bones. That said, they are very good at cutting and editing songs so it matches the OP fairly well. I don't like Golden Time Lover as a whole but they edited it so it worked really well as an OP. I still expect it to suck pretty bad though.

The worst part about E7 AO so far is the ending isn't as good as this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WSEdM4h-11k

It's much better than what I was expecting going off of Duckroll's preview. I also agree Canvas was the worst ED.

Contrary to what Jexhius claims, I had fun watching Yami. It's probably a statement of how brain-damaged I am, though.

I love your corrupted mind Hito~!
