I agree. Not everything has to have that cutesy look to it.

Yup. It wouldn't even fit with the tone of the show anyway.
I do like how, in the last few years, most shows have started using endcards drawn by a variety of different popular artists/character designers. Lets you see each series in a wide range of styles.
Or the trend might have been going on longer and I just wasn't paying attention. I dunno.

Fate/Zero already has cutesy designs, they're just bad ones.
Eventually it's all going to be homogenized. Fuck.

Either way it's pretty neat!
I wish there was more foreshadowing in them so we can look back and go "Ohhh!" like with the Lord Humongous Madoka card.
Don't fight it. Embrace it.

I dont understand why Medaka Box stopped doing that for the middle of episode eyecatches second season :/
Not really. And when I say really, I mean at all.
I was about to ask if there were any eyecatches like that actually. Thanks!
Uh... You don't like how Rin and Sakura look? Alright.

I feel like that's reaching a bit. That position doesn't necessarily imply Eva and neither does the angle.
This question is for people who are currently caught up on Naurto Shippuden. I am currently about to hit the next filler arc in the show, I am at episode 221.
I am going to catch up to the current mark soon, so I want to find a good spot to stop. I like watching my Naurto (or any long-running shonen) in bunches. It allows me to skip the fillers and not be killed by its pacing issue.
Do Sasuke and Naruto actually have a true fight (i.e. that plotline being resolved) as of the latest episode? This is such a major tease having them meet and skirmish. Bloody episode 215, it made me believe!!!!

It happens every now and again, I never really knew a specific show who did it before anyone else. Shaft has done it a lot quite recently, and the earliest I remember was probably ef - a tale of memories.
I think it has gone on for a long time, but a lot of the fanart stuff was given out as extras in postcard form and such. Like the fanart from Tsukuyomi moonphase that I got with the funimation set. end cards were never really that prevalent to begin with that I can remember.
They look cute. just not Cute.
God damn, you're on this. Good stuff.
So young girls look cute? Illya and Rin's designs are fairly close to their original counterparts.
King of tracking shit down.

Youre going to another filler arc and spoiler
Naruto and Sasuke have yet to meet again thus far in the anime
Saber and Rin only look good in art that completely ditches most of Takeuchi's style:
Yes, and their original counterparts suck because Takeuchi is a horrible artist.

You don't have to use exactly the same positioning and angle as the original scene to pay visual homage to something. Hell, Potato Girl even mimics the noise that Evangelion Unit-1 makes in that seen, see here:

It's surprisingly specific!

Alright episode ..
The animation is clearly lacking almost everything ..there was a quick fight in this ep but all i got was a still shot.
Still we're reaching classical themes, like "gather all keys to open the final dongeon" type of questing with our hero still unsure of what to do and unable to act properly even.
Going by the preview i hope those points get adressed next episode so we can finally know what this sword does ( or at least part of the puzzle )
What to do ? what to do , answer me animegaf !

Wasn't the point that F/Z's cute was ugly (and bland) cute?
Not even.
Definitely. Good reason to pay better attention to it.
I agree. It's not even as good as Python.

Don't know... I wish the show would take take itself more seriously. I don't know what other people think about the anime adapatation but I think it's significantly weaker than the anime.

Lolz. That'd be hilarious.

You've watched Eva more times than you care to admit, am I right?

It might be because I've seen Evangelion more times than I care to admit.
I feared that was the case. This show simply loves to tease the inevitable Naruto X Sasuke battle. I'll probably catch up to episode 302, and call it quits for a year or two.
Thanks for the quick answer, DTL. Now to decide on my next shonen to catch up on, I could watch more One Piece, which (arc spoiler)
I finished Enies Lobby

Hmmm, I guess.
You ain't seen nothing yet.
Well, now I hate the English version.

The anime adaption is weaker than the anime adaption?
What the hell are you talking about?

How do we define "accomplished character designer", though? Do we go by commercial success? Range?
I would love it if Precure 2014 had designs by Aoki, though.
Come on man. Troy Baker!

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that if I was allowed to only watch one anime series now till the day I die it would be Eva. Animes best imo.

It's not even the best thing Anno ever did.
