I'm exaggerating, but it's definitely the low point of the show.
After how terrible 3.33 was, I'm pretty ambivalent to the whole thing. Low expectations will do that I suppose.
Hah. What inspired you to watch this?
I thought I'd done a good job of selling the anime.
Man, I come off kinda douchey in that post. Neat.

That's what you get for assuming everyone uses 50 ppp.
I'm of the opposite view; I can see how polarizing the movie was, but the ending does make me really excited for what direction things will go in Final.
I view it as a delicate balancing act. They've already dropped most of the plates, and now I'm interested to see whether or not they can make it to the end - with plates.

It has been on my radar since then in small part because of your post.

I mean, I don't want to talk about it much more at length here because I hate making spoiler-filled posts, but anyway:
I dunno. I just don't seem to be as upset about it as others are. I guess I'm part of the camp that holds the insane belief that Final will actually be a true conclusion, and not like EoE?
Man, it's going to take a while to get over the post-anticipation phase; it's going to be even worse after Final when Rebuild is completely over.
I guess for now I should quickly move on to one of the shows on my backlog...

Moving the setting to a time-skipped void of a nearly-dead world with only a couple dozen characters that seem to exist was of course a huge shift, completely breaking away from nearly everything the series was before. But for whatever reason, be it I want to be shocked and entertained, or just that it gives them a clean slate to work on with most connections to the original being gone, I'm really interested in what's next for the story.

Nanoha film 1
Someone mentioned this here and on a whim I decided to watch it. And I was pleasantly surprised, this is much better than the TV show that I never really cared much for. Maybe I should watch A's. Should I just go right to the film for that one?

End of Evangelion seemed pretty conclusive to me!
Do we know yet who the color coordinator/s is (or are) for this project?
Its a fun flick, I enjoy it too.. only the first 30 minute that make me angry because everyone act like ass.

The Heartcatch movie was actually pretty good with a better main villain than the actual show. I haven't seen any of the others but no one should be surprised that the giant crossover movies are all considered terrible.
Yay all the way. If you enjoy speculation and seeing Kyoto throw money at the screen all day then it's a no brainer. At worst there are some weaker non arc episodes and a weaker arc as well but there are quality moments in most of those that make even those worthwhile. If nothing else you should at least watch enough to see the greatest school festival episodes ever made.
Poor choice of words on my part. I guess I was trying to say something about the ending of EoE, but I'm not sure what.

The wand is an "intelligent device" so it help with targetting and also helps a LOT with defense and timing ( for binds ) . Defense becomes automatic if the user is in danger.
Some precure movies are shit . But only some of them.MOst of them are good for a watch and 3 of them are awesome material.
(max heart movie 2, heartcatch movie, dx1 movie )
Some might even argue that the movies are the only good thing in the "Precure gogo Yes! " universe.
The main vilain plan is control ..they just realised that they can't win with the "fate " against them.
SO they just changed the fate of the characters.
For Border Pain the color designers are Yumiko Katayama and Mayumi Sato. The director of photography for the entire project is Hiroshi Tanaka, who seems to do pretty much all the composite direction in IG these days.

Rise is the best. The fanbase acknowledges this.
Also GiTS Arise looks pretty good.
I guess some would level its obtuseness against it, though that scope for interpretation (perceived or otherwise) is what I admire about Evangelion.

The rotoscoped animation certainly looks better as the series progresses, although it's always slightly off-putting, but that's not really what I was talking about when I said the show was well made. The craftsmanship that I praise is present in the visual and aural direction: the art design, the backgrounds, the cinematography, the editing and the soundscape. It's all superb.
Maou-Sama 05
This show's fucking amazing. I swear to god. A perfect blend of comedy and action, all with a competent hero (well, protagonist).
Jesus Maou-sama you're kind of OP huh
A little annoyed that the immigrants apparently perfectly understand Japanese straight-off though with none of Maou's hilarious mishaps.

I'd watch both if you're into the Nanoha First movie. Movie 2nd is divergent enough from the TV show in how it handles things that it'd entertaining regardless, but the TV version has a nice, breathless pacing that the movie somehow fails to entirely capture despite being shorter than it.
That said, the pyrotechnics in Nanoha 2nd are pretty darn spectacular.

Absolutely yay. It was one of my top 3 for 2012. The best way I can describe it is quietly beautiful. Seriously.
I don't think the rotoscope animation gets any better really. I even went back to episode 1 to check. The actual quality and effort hasn't improved. Some episodes exhibit less problems because of the framing choice or the fact that some scenes rely on stuff which doesn't show the weakness of the production. Otherwise episode 5 is every bit as bad as episode 1 when looking objectively at the rotoscope animation quality. I think people who are still watching it have mostly gotten used to it, but that doesn't mean it gets better. It is what it is.

Caught Steins;Gate Fuka Ryouiki no Deja Vu today.
Some really brief thoughts since I haven't even started my review yet. I think White Fox forgot they were making a feature film, as the animation quality is pretty consistent with the TV show. It looks like a 90 minute TV episode, though I wasn't expecting much better. The CG crowds were pretty terrible (like the series), as were the cars etc. I'd strongly urge people to lower their expectations if for some reason you were thinking it'd look amazing.
The main character here is very clearly Kurisu. It's her story (and Okabe's), and while everyone else gets a fair chunk of screen time, this is a much smaller story than the one from the source material. I've read stuff from folks who were disappointed it wasn't a grander tale, but I find that silly since pretty much all the promotional stuff has said that this is Kurisu's movie.
How is it? I liked it quite a lot. It's a very focused effort, so there's not a whole lot of fat in its 90 minute runtime. I saw it in a theater full of men and women, and nearly 75% of the theater was sniffling and tearing up by the end, myself included. This feels very consistent with the original game and TV show.
For those of you who've played the game btw, the film makes references to certain paths that were only in the visual novel, which I thought was a nice way of acknowledging both versions.
I think the best way to describe it is by calling it an extended epilogue. Really glad I caught it.

Ep 4 and 5 will blow your mind.

This is Mikasa/Misaka all over again. Silly Japan.
Photo Kano 5-6
Huh, these two episodes were actually pretty good even if the drama was a tad bit overbearing at times. I guess the lack of the constant creepercam in episode 5 certainly helped give this arc a more "well-balanced" tone than the first 4 introductory episodes. It definitely looks like this'll be doing an Amagami SS kinda omnibus thing but with a single episode dedicated to each one of the girls in the ED.

bad gameplay lol
I actually stopped this after the first episode. Should probably get back to it eventually.
Fear not! There's a 6th OVA that should be appearing soon!

We all know where Rise really ranks among Persona girls.
