Good god this show gets more and more and more lewd. The lewdness factor is nearly off the charts. And it keeps rising and rising. There were some borderline hentai moments in there. And this show put MGX in shame with its implementation of drool.
The older Eureka lady is hawt.
Still really enjoying this show. The story remains as silly as ever, the characters outside of the main 2 are pretty worthless but damn the smutkuga carries the show.

Man I was really worried going into this episode that this show would lose its sense of humor in favor of "serious" battles.
Thank god that was not the case at all. There were a lot of damn hilarious moments in this and the battle itself was pretty neat too.

The bits involving the gun were cool, it shows the feebleness of everybody while they're in human form and then how useless it is as a tool once they use magic.

'til the day I die!
Another two days where they lose their audience, though. Of course it's not a big deal in the grand scheme of things, but huge numbers of people have already watched Attack on Titan 5 in English.
Of course, it's Golden Week, I get that - but Crunchy haven't had this problem with any of their other shows, all of which are presumably less popular than Titan which is probably the biggest show this season. Of all the shows to have problems with, Titan is not the best.

Five episodes in and this still isn't funny. It's time to call it the disappointment of the season.

I wonder if Funi is delayed too and it's not CR's fault at all.
That... can be arranged.
You're talking about anime fans, cajun. What do you think?
Attack on Titan - 05
Hunter x Hunter - 78
Bwahahahahahahahaha it was not wise watching this right after Attack on Titan. I should have known better, man this is more depressing than in the manga.
Hentai Ouji - 04
lolz, no idea where they're going with this, everything the show set out at the start has been practically resolved to satisfaction

except the whole dissapearing house thing at the end lol.
It doesn't really help either that all of those who have watched it already are speaking of it in the kind of spoiler tags which make it clear that something rather dramatic/awesome happens in this weeks episode.
Attack on Titan 5
Am I the only one bothered by how the show arranges its scenes? They do a good job of presenting a shocking or exciting scene at the end of the episode, but rest was filled with flashbacks and random characters I don't really care about. They keep dropping any tension they try to create. The end was kinda shocking, I guess, but it feels like the show relies so much on that shock value that I just feel tired of it.It doesn't really matter to me because, no matter what happens, I'm finding it harder to care about what happens in this show.If Eren doesn't die, then maybe this will drive Armin to do something instead of whining all of the time? Or maybe that flashback at the beginning will have something to do with it.
Also, although theat the end were hilarious. I think I'm being a bit too negative towards this show, but this last episode rubbed me the wrong way for some reason. They did start to present the question of, "What are the giants?" which I am still interested in. Hopefully they get to that quickly. I wish I were enjoying the show as much as everyone else, to be honest.chomp was pretty tense, Armin's scream and expression
Yea I definitely had issues with that. The flow of the episode is broken up way too many times and it creates this segmented feel to the episode. Instead of having one scene creating tension, it goes to too many different places. That said, it is better than the manga which is much worse in this regard. Another problem is fucking Araki which is making the show out to be much more bombastic compared to the manga and probably what it should be in general. A good description I saw on a blog is that someone described Araki as a director who only had one pedal. I do wonder what a more somber director would have done with the series but it is what it is.
Well, yes. I still haven't watched episode 3 and people have made it fairly obvious that something dramatic happens to at least one of the male characters.
But then that's what I get for staying current with the thread!

Funimation delayed two weeks ago and now its CR's turn. I wonder why the people giving them the episodes is having materials delay twice already. Hopefully Funi still gets it or else I guess Ill hope it is not a full two day delay. I need to see if Eren got all epic and coolish.
I think we should give anime fans more credit than that.

Twelve-year old Regulus would laugh at the idea of whining because of a four-day turnaround on an anime translation.

Yeah I think people are just spoiled. OH MY GOD TWO DAYS!

I've been debating whether or not it will be worth it to watch Eureka 7 AO. On one hand, its a continuation of a world I've spent a lot of time learning about. On the other hand, I want to learn more about the characters from the first series, not entirely new ones. Not to mention the series reputation isn't that great...

Ao and Truth are leagues above 95% of the original cast (comparable with Moondoggie, Dominic, and Renton).

I'm guessing episode 7 of AoT will be the one where people here are going to realize what direction the series is heading in, that's the one I want to see everyone's reaction to
to see if they hate it as much as I did when reading the manga

Pretty awful episode. Only highlight was really Naruto the swords guy who looked really cool and
. Too much licking, saliva, and punishing...

So Sunday is basically anime day so a round up on the most important views of the day.

Despite being an episode that gives us background details to event from yesteryear the plot still chugs forward nicely in the background. Hopefully they can keep this level of pacing up and they don't start to drag like some parts of the show did earlier on.
Oreimo2 5
I know it's a cultural thing but I still find the idea that lassy calling her brother by his first name scandalous funny. Needs more yaoi girl.
Azazel-san Z 5
People really are down on this arn't they, but I suppose it's too be expected when it was one of the few shows people were actually looking forward to. The two part formula seems to have killed the quick sharp delivery of the first series.
Muromi-san 5
Still the best new show of the season. What the above should have been like.
Attack on Titan 5
So the titans die if you cut their neck from behind, but if you fire a cannonball at their face and it goes all the way through thus severing the back of their neck (i.e their weak spot) they survive. That's stupid, that's beyond stupid, that's beyond SAO levels of stupid. Also who thought Moe Ti-tan was a good idea? Also this show is so sexist. Female titans eat females and male titans eat males.
Anyway:
MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Hunter x Hunter 78
Best, please have a large and significant role, though dont steal screentime from Killua and Gon. I dont see how people thought this episode was depressing and what not,
. I guess I thought the episode was alright, too many animals and what not, I hope we get more humans and human based designs, as I just cant get into any of them. Kurt is starting to be kind of interesting though and so earnest.
Surely the birthed king will be weak as all these normal humans just cant really be all that powerful, shouldnt she be trying to get them to get nen users?
The only depressing thing, in my opinion, is probably just the narrator's ending line

The woman and children were spared and then characters were deemed as "endearing". The mom even protected a child from harm, kudos

Key animation by Yoshihiko Umakoshi.
Key animation by Yutaka Nakamura, as you said.
Key animation Hisashi Eguchi, Yoshiyuki Ito & Masahiro Ando.
He didn't (well, not directly), and acted solely as animation director and made the storyboard of the scene. In fact, he left nearly untouched the original drawings by Mr. Ando because he was extremely satisfied with the result as is.
I know sakuga@wiki (作画@wiki) lists him as an animator on that scene (http://www18.atwiki.jp/sakuga/pages/304.html), but YUTAPON himself talked about this clearly on an interview with WEB ANIMESTYLE they seem to ignore (http://www.style.fm/as/01_talk/n_yutaka03.shtml). Maybe I'm the one not understanding well what he says there, but that is the impression this text gave me from translations of it I saw.
Checking now AniPages, and Ben made mention of it in the comments section from one article:

But also something good and unique can come out of improvised solutions and raw imagination coming through unfiltered, like in procedures akin to the 'chaos strategy' that Mr. Okada liked to talk about when referring to old GAiNAX.
E.T.A. for each episode: One year and a half (+ two years of additional retouches for the digital disc release). :-D
Didn't FUNi have a materials delay last week? Maybe they're taking turns. Lol!

AmagamiChoco OVA
I didn't notice the first time I watched this, but I think this is Rihoko 2.0. People have bother updating the credits for the OVA on MAL though, but apparently the new characters are from the spinoff game. Which makes sense, since I had no idea who the characters were the first time I watched this thing... but I suppose they did this in order to promote the spinoff game without actually making a full anime for that game.
Also, and even though the characters look so awfully generic, I really wouldn't mind seeing another show with the Amagami designs. At least they're not *bad* in any way.

This shit is just depressing
Well the hunter x hunter universe is that harsh.
A video game where you can die.
A assasin familly house being one of the top tourist spot in the world.
The hunter exam where lots and lots people are dying ...
And the list is quite long.
Hunter x hunter is a cool world but i surely wouldn't want to live within it.

I was amused to find out those characters come from a VN called "I wanna say that I'm not your brother right now!" I guess those titles aren't just for LNs anymore.
