I dunno. Where would I get spoiled? This thread hasn't exactly been brimming with Heartcatch impressions lately.

We posted Heartcatch shit all the time when Smile was airing.
I guess I just never paid attention cause I wasn't watching Smile. And I first came here when Smile only had about 10 or so episodes left.

Isn't most English anime coverage just ANN? I mean, really.
I think so.

No. I'm sorry, I see what you're trying to pull and I'm not accepting it. Like it or not, "Anime" implies some sort of animation and I'm not seeing that here.
It's kinda cute, actually. They put in no effort and then call us the shit face when pulled up on it. But this is Television, not the "Who can be the most meta" championships.
When the shitty harem show that hits every branch of the trope tree is better put together than you are, you have a problem. Just saying.

Do they have a beach episode in the show? I didn't remember this.

Yes. It's not anime if there's no beach episode.

You guys make me sick. Watching Azumanga daioh for all the wrong reasons.
At least one person gets it. I expected better of AnimeGAF. Okabe laugh is king.

I don't entirely see where you're coming from. I mean, yes, rotoscoping isn't a particular common animation technique but it still animation. Now, people tend to be anti-rotoscoping in general for philosophical reasons. Is that what bothers you? Or is it that the rotoscoping itself looks terrible? I imagine that for most people it's the later.
Once again here I'm not sure what the brunt of your complaint is. By "put together" do you mean the visuals in terms of their aesthetic quality? Or do you mean "put together" in terms of how well the visuals are constructed to tell a the story? If you're complaining about the aesthetics that's something I can understand, but if we're talking about the quality of the direction then I couldn't disagree with you more. I find the direction in that episode to be down right excellent.

I'm not sure how pointing out the presence of a beach episode implies this!

Animation quality is part of the direction, though.

I feel bad for the people who had to write that marketing copy. Surely slapping tits on the front would be the most effective way to sell the product? It's pretty hard to convince the mythical casual shelf browser to pick up a title about licking spit so why even make the effort?

It was... alright I guess. The first half of the episode was kind of bland all-around, it felt like the characters were not established strongly enough. Some of the interactions were kind of unnatural, but that's to be expected for shows of this kind, especially on introductory episodes. I just got a weird feeling from this one that I normally don't get with other SOL/comedy shows.
I got sucked into its pace after some time though, and it was mildly enjoyable by the end. I like the gimmick of the show- there's no set topic or motif, instead they'll come up with all sorts of random stuff, Google it and "discuss". Now this is not especially unique by itself, there have been many shows about nothing, but the part where they use the internet and actually search information could make for some interesting stuff.
I'm not entirely sold on the aesthetic style yet, but I have to say the designs were much better on motion. The layouts were also very well-put together, this is not a sloppy production by any means.
Will keep watching until I get tired of it.

Sure, if we're talking in broad sweeps. If we're getting down to the nitty-gritty then we should avoid talking about direction and instead talk about cinematography and editing, neither of which have that much to do with the quality of the animation, as Osamu Dezaki demonstrates!
"Slobbering repercussions" should be a band name.

I guess my point is that the direction is designed to inspire certain feelings and that fails if I'm too distracted by how ugly the animation is and how bad the acting and lip-synching are. Nagahama doesn't get a pass for that just because the storyboards are nicely composed.
That's what those are..?
I'd like to see a compiliation of some of the more poor attempts at connecting with the mainstream with back of the box marketing. Funi is a really bad offender of this.
Which shows just how small the English-language market* really is, compared to say, France or Taiwan, much less Japan itself.
And probably explains this:
(*The enthusiast and adult market, anyway. Obviously children's shows like Dragonball, Pokemon, Yugioh, etc. have made real money in English-speaking territories.)

Everything from episode 23 onwards is gonna blow your mind.
Toriko x One Piece x Dgraonball Z - 01
They tried really hard to not have Goku mop the floor with Luffy and Toriko
But seriously, 2 brawlers versus a guy who shoots laser beams out of his hands, there's only going to be one winner.

hell he even saved the world in his spare time while racing.
And there's the confirmation. Red Data Girl officially joins the Funimation simulcast lineup, Wednesdays at 1:00pm EDT.
Intentionally bad art is still bad art.
It's not bad, it's unpleasant.
It's both.

So this is basically the return of Yuru Yuri, huh (shouldn't be surprised considering the VAs involved, heh)? The episode itself was a bit slow, but I've come to expect that from the first episodes of SOL shows. Gotta establish the premise and all that. I do wonder if it's going to keep up the almost sketch-show like feel from this episode, or if it'll eventually start doing more episode-long stories. Hopefully the former. Love me some anime sketch comedy.
The animation is really, really nice. Like Shergal said, this isn't a cheap production by any means. As long as the pace picks up a bit from here on out, which I imagine it will now that the premise has been introduced and everything, I'm definitely going to enjoy this.

If it's supposed to have me paying more attention to the awful aesthetics than the story it's trying to tell then it's succeeded.
What awful aesthetics?
Sakaki isn't the right answer to everything?
Broken Blade 3
Ugh, so, right up there with "1000 years old but body of a 12 year old" and "Your mom/sister is totally okay to bone because she's not your mom/sister, you just call her that," my new least favorite anime trope is "12 year old girl with the body of a 25 year old woman." Which explains in large part why I don't like the character of Cleo. Even if she did force Queen Sigyn to provide us all with another more or less fanservicey nude-scene. Rygart supposed that maybe something was done to Cleo, since she's an ace pilot 12 year old with an amazing bod, but then, this is Rygart, and he's about as idiot hero as this show can get.
That said, I REALLY liked the fights in this episode. Particularly when Rygart in his newly outfitted Delphine shows up, barreling at them ridiculously high speeds in heavy armor. It was nice to see the hero's mech treated as an implacable monster, since usually that's the villain's job. Cleo's scene was actually pretty ace, too, in spite of my dislike of her character.
The thing I like about the Broken Blade mech is that it's outstanding for being a Real Robot in a show of Super Robots, and somehow it manages to be simultaneously more powerful and less powerful than everyone else because of it.
Still enjoying this show.
