Someone please tell me this is a joke.

Well I would mostly agree with the first arc, but then I liked that a lot and it was enough to get me to vote for it in the 2012 poll. The second arc not so much, where it took all of Asunas agency away and made her typical princess to be rescued by the protagonist. And I really could have done without the cousin crush.

Quite a split personality you have there N

Amnesia Episode 8

Well looks the it finally happened and surprise, surprise its the fan club members trying to ruin her life. Dropping a plant on her head and stuffing her mail with junk is taking across the line, hope they get some comeuppance later on.

Toma is really showing how good of a boyfriend(?) he is to her. She actually seems to perfer hanging around him more than the others and seeing how protective he is to her, its really not that hard to see why.

Speaking of Sword Art Online, a recent Biglobe poll went up asking readers their "top anime studio masterpiece". I don't entirely understand what exactly is being "ranked" here, as there's more than one entry per studio, but whatever!


Crunchy

This list is lolworthy. I approve. NOT

Good ep. Had this wonderfully oppressive atmosphere befitting a giant monster movie. Nearly as satisfying as Eren getting punched.

Dat ownage at the end OMG
Definitely the best mecha show this season. Save for the CG which strangely on the main mech doesn't bother me too much it's quite visually pleasing too. character interactions seem quite fun too. Don't let me down please. Wasn't too hot on the OP though.

Ledo is pretty cool. He doesn't say a lot but he isn't a fucking idiot either. He acts like a substantially trained military pilot. When Amy starts chatting with him in episode 2 itsl ike hnnnnngh.
I agree she's pretty hnngh. That voice too.
Also Ledo is a pretty good protagonist so far. The antithesis of the Valvrave protag I'd say!

I'm enjoying the setting and characters. Don't know if they'll really be able to create any tension when the robot is so OP.

I'll be probably be pretty content with Gargantia's story if it doesn't turn into that typical Avatar plot line of "previously a soldier now fighting against his own kind to protect the ones who brought him in".

Amnesia Episode 9

Holy. Shit.

Toma is a yandere?!?

I knew something was odd about calling himself her boyfriend but to go and put her in a cage to protect her is definitely stepping down alot of steps on the sanity ladder.

Horrible "boyfriend", but man did he jump up (imo) to being one of the better characters in the series.

No Sword Art Online. I can dig it.

Also
Gainax for NGE
Madhouse for Card Captor Sakura (would have also accepted Nana)
PA Works True Tears

Disappointed to see that Certain Magical Index and Toradora made it under JC Staff, but Honey & Clover didn't.

Tension doesn't need to be escalated through purely physical means. The series seems more interested in exploring the actual implications of such an overpowered weapon among the characters versus trying to pit countless outmatched foes up against it. It's pretty obvious
from the reactions that people aren't exactly thrilled over what just transpired.

Well I hope they don't just lazily put the robot out of action to create tension and then bring it back soon after.
I think it's fairly unlikely. More likely is that
Gargantia side freaks after seeing the pirates being owned, pirates come back trying to get the robot, they get fought off after some internal conflict on the Gargantia, potentially MC doesn't use his oblideration move on request of Aya(?) then later arc has the humans responding to his signal and returning to earth but him siding with the locals as opposed his own people for some reasons. Or the aliens find earth in all this.

Agreed on Ledo thus far. He's smart, observant, and he's not impatient. It's nice to see a mech protagonist who isn't just a screaming teenager.

This episode was also entertaining (
Deserved punch
most definitely included). However, why didn't they invest in deep underground shelters or bunkers? Sure, they'd be trapped rats, but the giants don't seem all that observant.

Because those would take money and effort to build and there's no real motivation to do that as long as you think you're safe.

I don't care what his real name is, I spent 8 episodes calling him N and I'm not changing it

Amnesia Episode 10

Okay, so she's in the same world as final destination this time?

Well what awful luck she has. Try to avoid those tanning beds please.

N being the boyfriend must be tough if there's another side to him that wants to kill her. Maybe now there will be an explanation about that fire from the first episode.

I hope this doesn't end up sucking. Really liking it so far and would like this to be something I could recommend in future "modern anime sucks" disscusions.
That show of force by Ledo & Chamber was something else too.

They'd still need to grow food, and the Titans would probably just camp out waiting for them to emerge to get the food.
 

Amnesia Episode 11

Well at least the "trapped in the building on fire" event is explained and I can basically figure out what happens next.

And I have been trying to avoid saying this but after this episode I'm not going to bother: Main girl is a complete dumbass.

Why would you meet a guy who killed you once and told you not to see him anymore alone?
Why would you want to meet the same guy again after he tried to drop you in a well and told you flat out the previous night not to trust him?
Why would you honestly go out into a storm that's doing everything it can to kill you but throw bricks onto your head?

I don't care how hot he is, listen to your brain not your heart.

I almost thought the two girls asking about the merman might be a nudge to waterworld.



I'd die if there was a Dennis Hopper like character in this.

Dennis hopper villain would be perfect but I dont think Gargantia is aiming for that sort of slapstick. I also wonder if there will ever be another Gary Oldman type of absolutely batshit crazy ruthless bastard villain again.

There are plenty of ways to do it.

Spring is finally here. Did a painting for it.

Nice work! I want a Cintiq. Need a computer first as you guys know.

So who's still excited for Fate/kaleid liner Prisma☆Illya in July?

Never been sold on the art/character design. not "Ilya" enough for me. But it should undoubtedly be adorable. I think I remember someone was hugely excited for it and had an avatar to show it back when it was announced.

Perhaps the lack of motivation (begetting inaction) would be a cause, yes. Yet, with three enormous barriers, I thought it odd they hadn't implemented it. If it's for the lives of humanity, fiscal cost seems, to me, less important. Though the first episode does place a stance on how "active" the guards are towards the ongoing threat after years of peace. There's little reason to believe those in charge are much better.

They'd still need to grow food, and the Titans would probably just camp out waiting for them to emerge to get the food.

Yeah, that's a good point. They may not be the brightest, but they know the people/snacks are around somewhere. I was only thinking of them coming and going, but that would most likely not be the case.

Yeah, you'll definitely need a computer. And a program. I recommend Paint Tool SAI since Photoshop is stupidly expensive and I use it for a lot of my painting anyway. ^^;
