I don't think so, sadly.
Imagawa needs to be released from the basement.
Can't over emphasise the importance of ending in the right place for a robot show! Or, I guess, any story.

I'll say the Nico crowd preferring Majestic Prince to Valvrave is highly unusual for sure.

I thought Valvrave was very good, with MJPR following, and Gargantia bringing up the rear. Cast, character designs, visuals, and action really favor the others more than Gargantia, and I guess all that has going for it is Ledo, Chamber, and cool space action that seems like it wont even be the focus no more.

This was a great contribution to the thread.
Valvrave will proven as the winner at the end of this CGMech warz, you shall see.
Imagawa as director, Obari providing the mechas, hawt.
The space action isn't cool at all for Gargantia, in fact its was disgusting.
Masou Kishin movie plz.

I think Valvrave will be the more entertaining of the three but Gargantia will be the better show.
It is tough to elaborate on with individual instances when dealing with a long running series with such poor pacing. I simply have a difficult time remembering offensive instances. Even with such a large cast it seems to me like the female characters in Space Bros. are regularly portrayed as weak, inferior, and incapable. They are never fleshed out appropriately and are referred to often as eye candy without providing adequate substance to make them into something more. Serika is a joke character at this point, who has nothing more than a love for food. The most recent arc turned her into a pig sniffing truffles out in the desert.
As far as racism goes the increased scope of Space Bros. often proves how myopic and unworldly it can be on an authorial level. There is little understanding of minorities or cultures outside of Japan and in turn the content often works in over the top stereotypes when trying to deal with these things.
Titan ED is hot stuff. Don't see anything this season topping that.
Nico viewers out of touch with the common man.

It's surprising in how unsurprising it is.

What? You gotta be kidding right?
I agree. It's easier to keep up with one thread, even when it's fast. I don't even know how (or if) the Shingeki thread resolved the spoiler thing yet, since I'm afraid to read spoilers.
But the fact that there is a spoiler thing in the Shingeki thread makes me happy that all that chatter isn't in here!
Think they made a manga spoiler thread.
I guess that's true enough but I imagined that more as him just manning up for a minute after finally getting some determination, I'm sure we've all had injuries that it of course feels better to baby but when needed we can still make it function as normal.
Holy shit this sucked so bad. Hated all the characters, the art, the CG, the story, everything. This show needs to die in a fire, have the negatives burned, the hard drives wiped with magnets and then drilled through with power drills before finally being tossed in along with any print material of the show that exists and once that unholy mixture of flammable and toxic materials has reached it's ultimate climax of I say we throw the production crew into the fire as well. And anyone who liked the show for good measure.
Hey, I watched Yuyushiki at least. Or to steal someone else's line "it's not like I couldn't keep watching" I just don't want to.
Japan choosing right? Surely this is a sign of the apocalypse. Still wary of how many people thought the first episodes of Valvrave and MJP were "very good" though, but hey, progress is progress.
People should watch Yamato.
You fueling me a reason now.
In other "news" it looks like Shinya Ogura (an animator/designer/scifi setting research guy who's working on Gargantia this season) has been shitting on Valvrave on Twitter. Seems he's been ranting about the inaccuracy of what the show claims to be a "Dyson Sphere", and bitching about how poorly researched that element of the show is. I guess he's just mad that they took the more generic scifi approach to depicting a Dyson Sphere, since it's an approach which was debunked by Dyson himself.

You need to look at GaoGaiGar's context. If you compare GaoGaiGar to the previous Brave shows, you'll notice that the animation is more fluid, has much better shading (Really, it was very common to get no shading at all on those previous shows) and the battle scenes are longer.
Of course, that came at a cost considering how they likely didn't have a higher budget for GaoGaiGar. They basically made stock footage for every single attack of the hero mechas, rather than just the finishers and combinations, unlike in the older Brave shows and reused that same stock footage throughout the entire series.
Here's an example of what I mean, regarding the previous Brave shows.
Here's the Might Gaine in stock footage:
Here's the Might Gaine in a still shot used once:
Here's the Might Gaine actually moving around or attempting to do things:
When you added any action, the models were often greatly simplified and most of the shading disappeared. GaoGaiGar kept things mostly on model and had much better shading, but at the cost of having to reuse stock footage every time for almost everything aside from some rare episodes.
I wonder what they'll do with her if they start remaking Yamato 2. The original male Yamamoto was pretty much a background character in the original series, so they can do anything with her without changing things up, but Yamato 2 liked to randomly put him in the spotlight just to spit on him. Although, I guess they aren't likely to go beyond the original series without heavily changing things up.
I'd buy it if not for the excessive cleavage smh. Really enjoying the new series.
Need some help i'd like to delve into the Patlabor series but i'm unsure where to start. I have great love for the first two films so i'm leaning towards the OVA's as i believe they share continuity but does anyone have any opinions on the normal tv series?

There's nothing really stopping you doing both. The OVA's aren't particularly long and there's not much continuity anyway so I'd recommend starting with them before moving onto the main TV series.
Yeah i see no reason not to watch both just wasn't sure where to best start. Going to go with the OVA's thanks for the help.

Well, given those two options then I suppose this really might have been the lesser of two evils.
I can see that Sunrise really doesn't care about the franchise, considering the money they've spent on it.

Naruto Shippuden 307-308
Opening: Great song, wish the animation would be the same when they do fight Madara but I know that's just not going to happen.
Ending: Okay song, started off kinda weird at first though.
First off, I don't care about Hayate and Yugao. One was a popular fodder character for some reason and the other was playable in that Naruto gamecube game. That's about the only notable thing I'll say about those two.
Now the episodes themselves was average. I appreciate how they expanded some parts of the story before he got killed but like I said I really couldn't care about them or some promise they made under a moon. Fights themselves were meh though I admit it was nice seeing the other two reanimation guys not get sealed quickly (until 308 anyway).
Next week is about some Samurai filler that I'm already dreading watching.
How much care that you need for kids cartoon =p

Space Houki is absolutely lovely while the show remains entertainingly dumb. Deito next episode should bring many :cajun moments.
Baka baka!

Space Houki fucking shits all over Houki. Houki was horrible and that was before Charles stole the limelight, Touka has been pretty good so far. I'll take the main 2 in DaL over the 2 in IS any day of the week so far.
Hopefully that crazy goth loli bitch is in soon

Well, when there are kids cartoons like:
Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water
Future Boy Conan
Anne of Green Gables
I'd say it's a competitive field!

Seems like the lesson in this show is that everybody likes cute things. Even people who seem sketchy and tough and scary, because they're secretly drawing magical girl manga and love flowers.
Was that acting scene with Tsubomi and Erika :sdburton? Seemed pretty :sdburton.
I've grown to like the CG ED. It doesn't look as weird anymore, and the parts where they're Blossom and Marine actually look pretty good.

The Devil is a Part-Timer! 2(maou sama)
Way more hilarious than I expected, always makes me laugh and feel good, so is a blast at the end of the day, especially seeing their daily work lives and just making it through day to day on their part time jobs. Docodemo?
ED is kind of lazy.

All shows aired on a prime time slot though.

bad gameplay lol
I was wondering if you were watching this, since Maou and Ashiya are just ripe for the shipping.
Also I think I read somewhere that the ED for this episode is actually the OP. If that's true I really hope there's new animation for it. 'Cause that'd be REALLY lazy if not.

And Reinhard's next enemy reveals itself: the Earth Cult and its sinister ways. Seems like Julian will cross paths with the Imperial troops sieging Earth in the near future.
And do I see the seeds of Reinhard being a love interest for Hildegard?

it's pretty much what i feel about these shows
The second episode ending did have the the opening theme, but it really looks like the ED animation. Will probably get a proper opening next episode hopefully, and than the nano ripe ED that played in the first episode over Ep 2s ED sequence... hopefully.... cuz that would be a fucking lazy OP animation.

Incredible episode. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time even though I pretty much knew what would happen.

I REALLY liked this episode. The main character is an absolute blast to watch as he interacts with other characters who may or may not physically/verbally harm him. Just loads of fun that I seriously hope doesn't stop due to the adaptation or JC Staff being JC Staff.
Also, this show is absolutely adorable. Cajun be warned.
