Oh shit, don't tell me... am I in filler country!? Is this why the season one finale ended with
!? IKUHARA YOU BASTARD
Uuuh what? I mean, the art was never amazing, but it certainly didn't look this cheap. Not to mention the new OP is super lazy. And what's up with not even bothering to change the transformation sequence? But you sure were quick to replace some of the best songs in the show, Toei!

At least Artemis was a true bro. He shot up several places in my ranking. Also the new eyecatch is :cajun.
The second half of Princess Tutu is very unlike the first one. Prepare to have your brains splattered.
KABUTO KOUJI DIES IN MAGMAToei is famous for that and yes its bullshit. However, that title is absolutely accurate. Devastatingly so
This is verifiable truth!
lololololol
what the?
Oh...this episode
SO depressing. totally caught me off guard the first time. I wanted to cry.
Its the internet. There will always be people that piss you off or dont get along. Aint worth leaving a great community because a couple of people caught you on a bad day. Gaf is ultimately a really fun and supportive place. Ive seen dozens and dozens of forums and trust me, this is one of the very best.
oreimo s2 2
manami hooks up with kyousuke, ayase hooks up with kirino, and ruri hooks up with her cosplay tail. everyone wins
I guess I would be ok with this. Ruri deserves a more interesting guy.
Mad Pierrot is back!
I also don't mind this sudden turn of yuri in the thread...
I don't mind your avatar in the thread either
One dynamic in america that works well for colleges is the big sports programs and intense loyalty. Does such a thing exist at all in Japanese college? I'm sure there are sports teams and such representing the colleges.
I still can't believe that is going to be real.

Attack On titan Episode 2
This episode was pretty much spot-on with the manga with a very nice set of scenes that made the beginning quite dramatical while using later events for some forshadowing ( such as late characters buried in some plans or appearing quickly .
The result is highly enjoyable.
Will they keep the good work all the way with such a delicious attention to detail ? Only time will tell but i sure hope so.
Ps: the ending is as awesome as the opening

It's possibly all the fears of the precure fans that came true.
I hope this won't be true ... I hope.

They can't possibly bastardize it more than Cardcaptors. I have been hurt to the very limits. nothing worse can exist.
I just noticed that Disc 5 of the complete collection has
Rue/Kraehe decked out in her undies or something on the face of it.

This was a really good episode. All the backgrounds look so nice and the great character art meshes with them perfectly. I really like what they're doing with the Language thing and it was pretty awesome when
I'm definitely looking forward to how everyone will react to that.

Chabmber completely destroyed all of the pirates without harming a single ally.
They both seem pretty faithful to the LN from what I've read but the anime just presents it far better. It has a better ebb and flow to how it introduces characters and concepts, plus there was that fantastic opening at the beginning of the first episode.

Hah... maybe so.
Then it'd finally break into positive territory somewhere near the end, and reach moderate levels (though not as high as anything from the middle of S1 to the end of S2).dakkumauji

Rue's transformation is WOW. Love it so much.
I'm about to go test this theory of yours.
In case I don't return, I love you guys.
It's also notable that youma actually look monsterous overall. By comparison, very last precure monster is designed to not scare anyone. Yet SM still retains a comedic sensibility of teenage girls who are kind of making it up as they go along when fighting them.
SM is an episodic show first with plot arcs second. If you break it into filler and nonfiller you're missing the point.
S is going to blow your mind.

Just saw the first episode of Oregairu and I have to say that I'm not sure of it. The reason for this is because I don't like the premise all that well. I find the MC funny and I definitely like his out of place look, but I don't enjoy the fact that he's not supposed to have friends (that's not a spoiler, its in the synopsis of the anime). I'm afraid that with that kind of story premise that he will only be friends with that dark hair girl (who I didn't like the 1st episode because she's kinda TOO direct) which would disappoint me to see all the time.
I might try to watch the 2nd episode but I'm not sure if I can keep watching if my predictions come true.

Not really. Just like in high school and junior high school, there are sports clubs. It's not an official school team in the sense that the school doesn't push it or anything like that. It's a club activity like anything else. You just have the benefit of other teams to play against.

Hopes already dashed. Dreams crushed.
Hopes raising, whenever I get around to watching it.

So here seems to be the general formula for this show so far:
[first 19 minutes or so]
SNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORE.
[last 4 minutes or so]
Decent fight scene against monsters that end with gratuitous blood squirting and spilling everywhere.
Seriously. You think cute girls doing cute things is vapid? No, THIS is vapid. Like, that scene in the cafe...they quite literally talked about nothing. Like, for real. Absolutely nothing. And lets not forget gems such as "Having (dessert snack with a French name) in your mouth...it feels like something." Wow. How do even write that with a straight face? I understand that it's supposed to feel like a kiss as Saya's friends reveal later on, but goddamn, could you have possibly written it any worse? Seriously. "It feels like something". Why do we even read hacks like F. Scott Fitzgerald when we have this?
So...this show...I would probably consider dropping it if the next episode was as much of a snoozefest as this if this show wasn't so notorious around these parts. We'll see where it goes, I guess.

My roommates just came in totally drunk lol.
Yeah that kind of takes the fun out of it. Down here, especially in the south US, college sports and colleges are practically a religion. People have their university flags waving and are crazy loyal and enthusiastic about their school. Being at a college football game (US football) is something people should experience at least once. The atmosphere is absolutely electric.
Excellent work!

Attack on Titan (Shingeki no Kyojin)
Episode 2

I didn't realize in the first episode that Marina Inoue did the voice for Armin. At the beginning of the episode with the kind of background/history lesson bit I immediately recognized her voice and thought "Marina Inoue is in this!?". Later when Armin started talking I recognized it was her. The visuals in the opening bit there actually kind of looked like a pop up picture book to me. Hannes voice was also really familiar last episode and it wasn't until right as soon as he starting talking this episode that I recognized it was Keiji Fujiwara who just recently did the voice of Tamako's father in Tamako Market and Kiriya in Senran Kagura.
I could maybe see people seeing this as coming across as a bit over the top at times such as during the scene with the lady trying to hide or maybe even with the preacher but for the most part I think it's appropriate given the circumstances of what's happening. I could easily see different ones reacting that way in reality. With this second episode there seemed to be a big drop off in terms of animation though. The episode seemed to be filled with still shots and panning shots. The art still does look good though and it does make some scenes like
come across as even more dramatic too. It may just be me but I wonder if that's supposed to hint that they're actually pretty smart,or at least some of them, and not just some mindless entities wandering around looking for food.
The scene with
kind of reminded me of a scene in Steven Spielberg's version of
. I think this may have been asked before but does the manga ever later mention why
Unlike the first episode which I could pretty much mostly recall, this episode came across like it had scenes from later parts of the manga rearranged to be shown earlier here or that there was more original content not even in the manga. Although I thought the scene with Hannes and
lasted a bit longer. Those population numbers are pretty surprising too.
The ending of the episode seems like a good place to stop and is about where I finished reading up to in the manga. Overall I still really like the show and it's one of my favorites of the season. I also agree that the ending and its accompanying music are pretty good as has been mentioned.

I know I'm going to eat these words since it's yet another JC Staff romcom LN adaptation, but I liked it.
Good energy, the characters are pretty fun, the show looks good and the pace was really good for a first episode.
I just feel there's already a countdown to the moment the story starts stretching itself in order to sell more volumes.
You better get used to Moonlight Densetsu, because between eps 1 and 166 they only change the version used. Once.
OP3 is still better than OP1 and OP4 though.
This isn't Precure with Mipple handwaving random new shit. Just wait for when Ikuhara and Kotono Mitsuishi both return. You won't be disapointed.
Actually it's clearly Satou's fault there and it isn't the only show he does it for. It's like
the opposite of Hollywood plotting where there is always room for a sequel, so the plotting is defensive and wraps things up in case there isn't one
Artemis is straight up garbage in the first series. A walking exposition box who won't shut up.
Fortunately he becomes an actual character in R. As does Minako, but she still gets shafted on screentime for a while. Still giving other characters a chance before she goes top tier on the show.

Thankfully, it seems like the bad art problems from last episode were already rectified. It will still take some time to get used to the new music, though. At the very least
, so I'm back on board again!
Natsumi/An has had like five minutes total of screen-time and she's already a much better villain than all the emo fucks from the Dark Kingdom. I believe in filler?

It's a good song, it's just that too much of it can get tiring.
If you want tiring Mamoru Oshii used Lum's Love song for 60 to 70 episodes to start Urusei Yatsura.
