How are we so sure they're both not the same artist who gave personas to the stuff he's good at and the stuff he's bad at?
Do people have issues with the jawline/cheekbone?
His faces are the biggest issue, yeah. The hair is pretty bad too, most of the time.

Oh, that's because Takeuchi's not really an artist. Not as much as he is a shrewd business manager whose decisions made Type-Moon the giant it is today.

[Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon R] 059
I liked this arc despite the mind-boggling finale. It was nice to see these new characters interact with Usagi and company --or maybe I'm just a sucker for love polygons. Whatever the case, it's over! Hopefully that means no bad art anymore! EVER!
That cour finale made no fucking sense.
If the Doom Tree could speak in the first place, then why the fuck put up with An and Eiru pillaging planets from their energy? You are obviously not okay with them spreading hatred and sorrow. Was it to teach them about the power of love? Is this one of those bullshit "love has to be experienced" things? Waaaaaaat?
I don't get Toei and their depiction of violence, either. What exactly is An hitting Mamoru and Moon with here? Gusts of wind? Bursts of really bright light? It's hard to feel any tension when they subject the protagonists to something so intangible, and it's gets even weirder since they decide to get pretty violent afterwards. Why do bad guys get treated differently? My head.

Hahaha. ha...
Well you finished the filler arc, now you'll be seeing the actual arc. I think R is a good season, for sure is the best from an action perspective - just two things that I dislike
Chibiusa, and the Mamoru/Usagi breakup

Oh yeah. Duh.
So how does Crunchyroll tie into the USA turning into a third world state thanks to the sex-crazed youth?
Could you actually link or post an example? I'm looking at a bunch of single shot illustrations he did, as apparently it's going to be very hard to isolate what he's actually done in TM work, and nothing really comes out as bad to me.
Edit: I'm referring to the hair. The facial characteristics are obvious.
Wat?

Incidentally, and quite aside from the merit of any of the arguments that are going on, it's pretty strange that a post-post apocalyptic society that floats about on boats have such a strong belief that you shouldn't kill other people. That's usually the result of strong religious belief + an Enlightenment type eventually leads to people getting human rights. It's pretty interesting that that's also something the Gargantian fleet would share.
Of course, I just meant that it should be important later on.
It's just the faces in general. Look at the faces in Fate/Zero, they're pretty much all bad except for the "ugly" characters like Rider.

Most opinions I hear are that R is the black sheep of the series. I have faith in Ikuhara, though!
And here I thought nothing would break my mind more than the Sailor Moon episode I just watched...
As compared to what? What are considered good from other shows? I'm not seeing what you're seeing or what your preferences are. It seems like you're hating for the sake of hating or disliking or w/e.

Dammed by faint praise.
Huh? Season 4 is considered the black sheep of the series, something that I agree with.
Yea sorry, I screwed up. I was referring to the hair. I also wouldn't say Rider looks ugly by any stretch of the imagination. Caster on the other hand...

Hahahahhahaha
Well, I meant "ugly" as opposed to the moe smoothness of the normal characters. I actually find him a much more appealing character design than the rest.
Bad hair would be stuff like Kiritsugu or Kirie. Generic spiky blah.
Grown up Touma, basically.

Just people in general!
This was kinda odd, especially considering the close-knit nature and structure of the type of society the show forwards. But if they considered the implications of that and added it into the series, wouldn't it basically turn into another thing entirely? I don't think it would be feasible to tell a story about a guy who comes from Ledo's context finding the delights and small wonders of a peaceful lifestyle, and the setting itself is so well-crafted that it seems like a waste to simply change it.
The problem isn't spiky hair, it's badly-done spiky hair. When it just looks like a mass of spikes on their head it's bad.
Sadamoto doesn't really do that much spiky hair.

Worst contest ever.
God dammit.
Kaworu, his .hack anime, imgur act like ass to me so no pic.
Emiya are the only one that particularly spiky or even type-moon work in general.
This are sadamoto's I think.

Embrace the rotoscoped future.
Yeah but Kaworu's design looks good because Sadamoto knows how to draw hair.
Gurren Lagann - 5
Into episode five, I can sort of feel the direction this is starting to take. It's pretty great, really. It's almost sort of lax, at least for the moment. I'm beginning to get heavy Trigun vibes from these past couple episodes; the barren desert setting mixed with the unique settlement cultures is shared by both. This episode revolved around a colony of people deep within the earth who have a sort of
that was constructed in order to help them survive. They probably wont end up as an integral piece of the story, but it served it's purpose well enough as a bit of rich world building and a way to pipe in some new characters. If there were more of these episodes, I wouldn't complain. I think the sort of culture-of-the-week layout gives the plot premise (maybe dystopia excusive) a certain feeling of place and time. It's a convenient and entertaining way to mass produce world building within this sub-genre.
Production wise this episode wasn't anything special, but I think that description is a bit different when said in terms of Gurren. That is to say, it was consistently above average and a delight to look at. The fight that went on seemed a bit hamstrung and by the book, but by and large it wasn't the center piece of the episode anyway. The monochromatic look of the episode complemented the black and white nature of the lives of the people living in the hole and I think it was done tastefully. It also made Rossiu's ascendance out of the hole that much more profound when he was bathed in color.

Eh, we've had the Decalogue and a whole host of other theistic laws for ages. And also, considering the setting is (supposedly) a post-post apocalyptic society, it's not surprising that remnants of 'modern' thought would remain filtered down, as well.

This episode gets a lot more flack than it deserves.
Hm? It seemed wholly inoffensive to me.
Well my point everyone using spiky hair for otaku show, because its tied deep to the Harajuku's style and cosplay culture.
And hair in TTGL look like spike too, that's bad?

Well many cultures have had theistic laws but that doesn't mean that it was something that people actually followed in their hearts. It seems more likely that it's a hold over from a previous culture.
I'm honestly surprised that the Waterworld-future isn't more brutal and unforgiving considering that you'd think there'd be a battle for the scarce resources that remain under the waves. Perhaps the only way to effectively make the best use of the resources people have available to them is through cooperation?
Crayon Shin-chan Movie 05: Ankoku Tamatama Daitsuiseki
This was a lot of fun just like every other old shin-chan movie I've seen. There was a surprising amount of nice actions scenes in that. In particular the musical battle finale thing at the end was really nice. Also I'm pretty sure this movie has one of the best toilets in all of anime.

It still is far away from the insanity driven mecha shenanigans of the first half of the show. There's also the fact that it introduces Rossiu, who you will see becomes a very controversial character later on.
Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam 23
Ugh. How many more times can Tomino recycle the "Freaking moron novice launches in a mobile suit into combat before they are ready and endangers others and gets slapped by their superior and we all learn a lesson" plot line? I swear Fa has done this TWICE, nevermind how many times Kamille did it, PLUS that stupid kid from White Base.
GOD JUST MOVE THE PLOT ALONG TOMINO PLEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASE. I mean hey a Lunar City built around Neil Armstrong's footprint is SUPER COOL and having it captured is interesting and apparently it is an important place.
CAN YOU MAYBE FOCUS ON THAT INSTEAD OF EMMA RUNNING HER HEAD INTO KAMILLE'S BRIEFS WHILE HE VACCUUMS?
This was quite literally the most boring episode to still have combat in it in 23 episodes. I hear really good things about Zeta, so uh, when does it get really good again?
