I've been waiting for this since it was announced. GET HYPE!
Yuri is swell.
Im not really sure why I like it so much but its really cute too.
I just finished a rewatch of Steins;Gate too and really, most shows are a downgrade from that one.
Hard to follow up.

Okay, so this has turned out a lot better than I had expected. I am quite impressed by the writing. For a science fiction anime this is surprisingly restrained.
Seriously, go watch it. Marvel at the characters not doing dumb things! Stare in awe as a relatively small scale confrontation is handled just right!
Just don't stare too hard at the CG mecha.

I guess that's the moment to drop the show before it turns into a hatewatch.
Someone with gif making skills needs to add "NOPE" to this when he runs away. Its begging for it.

So, as I've already said, I really liked this episode and that's primarily due to the strength of the writing. All the characters in the show act and speak in a manner which reflects the peculiarities of their background and life experiences. Now, that shouldn't be unusual but in anime it's certainly is, especially in science fiction anime. It's genuinely refreshing to see characters take intelligent, logical decisions based on the information they have to hand and their experiences thus far.
Setting up this initial encounter as a crisis of sorts allows us to get to know various facets of the respective characters fairly quickly. I really like how most of Chamber's ideas and plans are basically useless outside of a combat scenario but that, of course, reflects the fact that he's a A.I. built for war, not peace. Small touches like the way characters even think about such a scenario really help to flesh out the cast.
I really enjoyed
It's sadly rare to see characterisation pushed to the forefront in science fiction anime so I hope that they keep it up. This is the only show this season, of which I admittedly not watching a lot of, that I get that 'must watch the next episode right now' feeling.

the way the confrontation with the pirates was handled (aside from your traditional attack on women's clothing). Ledo acting pragmatically, rather than out of some sense of heroism or humanity, was great and the way he despatched his foes was delightful - he exterminated all of them without giving it a second thought.
In terms of the action sequence itself, we already know that his robot is extremely powerful and built for combating an alien threat but seeing him take out everyone in one shot really brought home the difference in technology between the two sides.
Everyone's reactions to the massacre were great too, just the right amount of reaction shots and breathing room between cuts to let what had happened think in. They successfully conveyed the impression of shock that the crew have felt in seeing something truly unthinkable.

Seconding this. I'll see if I can get something done.
People should watch Yamato.
And holy fuck I have like 50 pages to catch up on, man fuck, hopefully no epic DTL list or that hiphop rewording thing didn't happen... or do I just read them
Oh wow, maybe I should.
It needs a nope just before he runs off. (When he opens his mouth)
Like this?
Edit: Dang it, I think I finally understand what you mean. Lol, I should've just let you post yours.
Cool! Can't wait to hear it!

Poor Rikka though, so much love yet Mana is all lovey dovey for Makopi.

Mana will get the hint sooner or later that Makopi's heart belongs to the Princess, and the ever diligent Rikka will swoop in and take Mana for herself.

Rikka is so beta, though. She'd be fit for a harem lead, but as it stands she doesn't have much to do against the sheer appeal of idol culture.Mana will get the hint sooner or later that Makopi's heart belongs to the Princess, and the ever diligent Rikka will swoop in and take Mana for herself.

LOL Yandere Ayase. No Kuroneko made me sad but the hilarious episode made up for it.

Arghhh!
I just watched the latest episode of Gintama and I guess it's over, AGAIN!
FFS. The on-again, off-again nature of this anime is vexing. Especially when it comes back on-air and they decide to just show a bunch of repeats half of the time.
If they are going to bring it back they should have a solid fucking plan as to what they are going to release and let it last for at least more than a year. The way they are doing it now just seems to be insulting the fans.

This show is certainly progressing well. The relationship between the main character (who I've seen being called Red which I shall now call him) and Amy is an interesting one to watch since they're both completely foreign to one another, and I'm definitely interested on how the current world works as opposed to how Red knew it. Action was a bit one-sided, but that's to be expected from an AI Sugita-mech.

Internet rumours tell me VPNs may or may not do the trick
I used to use hotspot shield way back when, but haven't used it recently. Think it turned a bit poopy.

plot. It actually reminded me of some Doctor Who serials where the episode starts in media res. You could tell the outcome from the beginning, but the writers managed to pull this off very well.
Brilliant episode. If there's one thing I've disliked about later seasons of Precure it is that they rarely do the
"team falling apart"
Makoto. (o>o)
Wait, I meant firehawk. I don't know why I keep mistaking you two.
Dude:
1) She just got shot at with magic bullets from an unknown assailant who presumably knows about the whole alternate universe thing
2) She ain't got no means of defending herself
3) She can't get home on the well-lit train line with guards and shit
4) She waited for the end of Maou's shift so it's late as fuck
5) Maou in this universe doesn't seem that bad and she's still super hesitant about it
what more do you need
Something I mentioned earlier is that this doesn't feel like a mecha show at all and the way everything is designed seemingly reinforces that(such as the design of the mecha itself). It feels much more like an interesting take on a time travel or first contact story and showing the differences in technology. It's like what would happen if a soldier from modern times landed in the medieval era with all of his weapons and gear. The final scene struck me as something like the hand of God coming down to smite your foes. Even the way the scene was filmed such as him floating above everyone else.
First you tell me she isn't "scared" she just doesn't want to sleep in the streets now you tell me she is "scared." You're tearing me apart.
Look, to me I think that was a downgrade to her. Is it possible she was scared? Sure. Is it possible that all the shit that had transpired has broken her down? Sure. It's also possible she could have stayed as bad ass as I wanted her to too, I don't have to like the development here.
No man you gots to like it.
You gots to
We're not arguing over plausibility, right? Just likingness? So it's just one of those arguments which isn't really an argument so much as it is opinions headbutting.
You gots to
Fair call on the 'scared' thing, but when you said it initially I thought you meant in relation to, like, getting mugged or something. Well, sleeping on the streets still possessing the possibility of attack... Well, as long as you admit that it all makes logical sense.

I like this set up. Feel like I've seen the whole "outside force causing someone to always speak their mind" premise before, but it's amusing nonetheless.
Also, harem shows with perverted protagonists are the best kind.

Well one thing the show has kinda reinforced is how everybody's personality has been toned down from their alterworld counterparts. It feels partly like in order to survive, they had to adjust to a place which is peaceful. Also at the end, she acknowledges that the Demon Lord has toned down as well.

Oh man. The second K-On OP is so awful.

Story-wise I'm still kinda hoping they bring it back to the sci-fi aspect. The Gargantia's nice and all but it kinda feels mundane although I'm expecting there to be repercussions from

the pirate slaughter either from having yet more pirates (since they name drop someone called Rackage) or from other fleets.
