Anime has conditioned fans to expect all girls to flash some skin, even when it wouldn't make any sense.
Being in native HD (is Bones still doing 540p?) is a huge bonus.
It's the final air bubble reaching the surface of the water as the physical anime industry drowns in the lake of streaming media.
Well, you'd think so, but no one has really finalized a streaming model that, you know, makes money.

It's okay because Japan is teaching us all to brush each other's teeth.Japan doing its part to make the world an unhealthy place.

This has been done in anime for years though.
Its nothing new and I think anime fans have become desensitized to the horror.

The resolution isn't really the main factor in visual style and presentation though. In terms of motion, visual design, and scene layout, E7 is one of the top-tier TV shows out there. I really don't think E7AO is "better" just because it is widescreen and available in a higher resolution.
This is E7 ep2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J95y8nJ9-7M
Come on.
No-one should be desensitized to a creepy obsession and sexualisation of children. Ever.
There's absolutely no reason why she shouldn't wear pants, particularly when trying to disguise herself... as I said before, Gruier's statement doesn't make sense. I guess you mean that people identify her as the highschool girl space pirate, so she has to dress in a school uniform all the time? What? But when not in school plenty of anime schoolgirls dress in other things, including pants...I don't know where you're getting this "anime girls" thing from.
It's Marika herself, specifically. The "high school girl space pirate."
Gruier's line was, "It would be utterly beneath Captain Marika of the Bentenmaru to be seen in a suit and pants!"
The key words are "Captain Marika of the Bentenmaru"
The people she walks past at the space station even comment, "She really is a high school girl!"
Outside knowledge is relevant in as much as the original novel had skirts in the title, which hasn't come up in dialog in the TV series, but even still the idol-like image of a high school girl pirate stands on its own.
Well sure.Fate/stay night 14
Oh, cool, so now Emiya's stupiditykilled Archer.
What the fuck.
Congratulations for managing to not get banned despite making several thousand posts as a junior member, I guess....Wooooo! Being a Full Member feels good, baby!
Thanks fortorturingcoddling me all these months AnimeGaf.
Yeah, that Maken-Ki shot is worse for sure.I dunno man, Angel Beats doesn't try and do a faux-fish eye camera thing.
No, as I said, it's really a drama at heart. Yuuko likes to keep the tone light whenever she can, but the underlying tragedy behind the series frequently shows through. This was shown well in episode two, which did a good job of setting up, and beginning, the drama central to the plot, while also having some comedy too.I would agree with the assessment that it's a comedy from what I've seen so far, but the build up to the punch lines is drama and the punch line itself is often the contrast with the dramatic or creepy elements. For me at least it winds up not really delivering on either end.
Huh... cool.and for the monocles
Upotte!! is fun for the entire family
I actually like the German dub for this lol.
Anyway it's not just because it's widescreen/higher resolution, the presentation is cleaner and the colors come through more vibrantly. I'm also not saying in anyway E7 is bad. In motion and visual design I would give the approval to AO. The tarp burning scene is amazing and the whole fight sequence is absolutely gorgeous. I would give the scene layout to E7 though mostly because the directing and cinematography for that episode altogether was great.

Amazing. I might have to buy this after all.
I have no idea if that's any indication of the rest of the dub though. Of course I would jump to the big service episode. lollmao. i gotta see this
I'm listening to the latest ANNcast and they are discussing Polar Bear Cafe. They cannot figure out who is at home to watch the show at 5:30PM. They bring up housewives. I...I don't understand how people can be this oblivious to the existence of children.
Keiji Gotoh: he killed Penguin Drum, and now he's going to kill Anime-GAF.
Jarmel, you are a bit over excited.
Animation wise, the best episodes of E7 smoke almost anything made for TV in the last several years, both in art and animation. Its easy to let the fact that it was SD and 4:3 cloud your judgement, but when E7 looked good...it looked REALLY, REALLY good.
Loved tsuritama 2! Haru is moe.
lol, I get the feeling people are going to think this show is in its 'introduction phase' for 3/4 of its run. Appreciate it for what it is now!
I think what might be affecting the perception that AO looks better is that there are REALLY nice backgrounds in AO, and they're pretty detailed, and stand out more overall when an episode takes place in various locations of the island. That aspect, I'll say AO wins hands down, but that's because in general BONES has been improving their background sourcing over the years. If you compare say E7 with RahXephon, you see a huge improvement already. Same if you compare Xam'd with E7. AO looks on par with Xam'd in that aspect.
But in terms of actual animation and visual design, there are tons of places where E7 really excels and it's really silly to say two episodes in that it looks better than E7. I think it's to E7AO's credit that they made such a boring battle on paper end up great looking and really exciting in practice. But for it to really reach the levels of E7's high points, we need to see great battles later on where we really care about both the heroes and the villains, and there are serious stakes on the table both emotionally and visually.
Tsuritama might have a plot one day, but I really can't be certain.
To be fair - Tsuritama is Nakamura's first (err second) show that has a serialized plot structure for the whole series, both mononoke and trapeze were episodic in nature.They've got to save the world from something.
They've got to save the world from something.
It's being sold in 12 BD volumes, so it could theoretically be as low as 24 episodes.
I remember when someone recently said that Brain's Base was the best anime studio these days. I bet he's feeling pretty silly now!
Well, eventually you have to start cranking out shows that actually make money.
E7 AO needs a episode as good as 26 animation-quality wise first, before we start arguing about whether one looks better or not.

I will never forget. Brains Base, the studio responsible for Kamichu and Kure-nai, plus a shitload of the industry's best mecha designers, all collaborating on a brand new original mecha anime series!
And then he decides to make all the fucking mechs CG.
I WILL NEVER FORGET, OR FORGIVE.
I really should check out Hayate no Gotoku, shouldn't I?
But... but... someone told me any episode of Angel Beats was better than anything in Eureka 7! Did AnimeGaf lie to me?!

Who the hell said this.
Why would that happen though?

There are some episodes of Eureka 7 that are below Angel Beats.
Not the football episode though. That one was awesome.
