Speaking of soundtracks, has Yuki Kajiura done anything of note recently? Feels like I haven't heard anything from her in a long time.

Kairu looks cuter than Clippy.
You mean besides heavily plagiarizing herself for SAO?
Fate/Zero??????????

She did SAO? Well, maybe it's got a decent OST then, at least.
I'll get to it eventually!
Maybe...
The parts she stole from her Fate/Zero soundtrack, sure.
I'm not terribly proud how I stumbled across it though -- trying to play off the "Clippy is so moe" joke, I went to search Danbooru on the off chance that something was there (because lord knows everything else gets personified as something moe) , and only just happened to find the answer.See, posts like this are why I said yesterday that you're an asset to the community, Arti.

edit: also, this actually took some effort to find, as opposed to just being another boring link from a blog or news article or something
Pretty much. She was really lazy with SAO.
Its just a bizarre audiovisual experience. I havent seen an anime this weird in a while.
episode 3 seems to have settled down so far. Those first two episodes were just a llcusterfuck of weirdness. I like this show. Just don't know what to make of it yet.
Unlike Yoko Kanno, the quality of her work seems to be related to the quality of the show.

Noir and Madlax are her best works, I think.
EDIT: Oh, and .hack//SIGN.

Those are good but Elemental Gelade OST was pretty great as well.

One thing I like about this arc is that it brings back the idea of using fads as a way to manipulate girls, except instead of just absorbing the dark energy of their victims they are
! Or something. It's still pretty ridiculous, but Jadeite's plans were never convincing either. At least here it does seem like a covert operation by the Droid forces instead of just evil spells on people.
Mamoru is still a total douchebag, by the way. I don't think putting him as the main love interest is a good example of what little girls should look in their future boyfriends
. Not like other aspects of Usagi's behaviour are admirable to begin with...
P.S. Who the fuck eats pizza with coffee? The shit is wrong with these people?
All this bickering about old loves and all that crap when everyone knows the best course of action is having Minako and Makoto scissor each other already. Am I allowed to mention scissoring? Whatever, OTPs are OTPs.

This sounds like the best idea ever.

I don't know, it's something I would do. Then again I ate spaghetti with whip cream once.
Hell, every now and again I eat cereal with coffee.... as a substitute for milk. Pizza sounds totally doable.

Man, the things that this show can get away with because it goes over the kids' heads. I knew that it was going to be a good episode when it began with a murder mystery-style "dead body floating down a river" scene.
Gotta love that the Jewelpets don't get serious about saving the earth until their television broadcasts are disrupted by the darkness. This show wouldn't be nearly as watchable if all of the characters were Precure-esque flawless paragons of virtue and altruism.
That shit would get you murdered in Tabor Heights.
I'd like to say that the implications are terrifying here, but there's not even anything being implied. They want to straight-up pluck out another Jewelpet's eyes and bling out their phones with them.

I apparently have much to learn from the mountain.

This post is a hell of an advertisement for Arjuna. Now I'm really tempted to see this.
I was going to continue watching FMA: BroHo but I know I'm going to write a spiel on what the original did better when I watch episode 4 and I don't feel like doing that right now so I started:
Blood-C 1 - 3
The characters haven't been anything amazing so far. Their characterisation has been pretty good and they are well defined but they're nothing extraordinary. I absolutely love some of the monster designs though. They've got this really nice combination of b-movie monsters and the grotesque, although not as grotesque as the ridiculously tall people. The monsters will keep me watching even if everything else is shit.
The ending of 3 was weird. Why did the protag
It was a cool scene but it didn't make any sense for her character.

just let the baker die? I thought she was trying to protect people.
Not even close to being the most off-the-wall thing the series does. I mean at least that has some precedent in popular science-fiction.
I probably will after 4. It's one of my absolute favourite subplots ever.

You know what Zeta Gundam has over 00 and AGE?
PEOPLE GET HIT. Battles aren't just colorful lines and circles. There's actual action going on. Nother reason 00 is the worst Gundam ever, with AGE close at its heels, though AGE's action could be good at times. Oh, and Ensign Rekkua is a total boss.

Lies. Kajiura's best work was Pandora Hearts and that was a terrible show!
Hey, I did too! Also, Re-l is great.
I think most of the people here are right, the story is retarded, full of itself and ultimately unnecessary, That said, I think it has one of the greatest episodes of all time out of any anime, and that's episode 16. The OP is awesome too. This show will ultimately disappoint but I think it was worth it anyways for Re-l.
So happy to see new viewers, Holo truly is great.
I think Darker than Black says otherwise.
Also in regards to SAO, I think that whole thing was just sloppy. Listening to the soundtrack and it really seems as though the production company paid no attention to the quality of the album. One track is literally the same one from the first volume just renamed while the others have either been slowed down or lowered in pitch. The one vocal track that is on the album has voices that are near inaudible whereas in the anime they are much more clear.
Arjuna the natural 03
Last one tonight. Really tired from the festival so I will watch more tomorrow.
Looks like CHris set Arjuna up to sink or swim, and she's fighting to stay above water. Metaphorically speaking of course. This episode contained about 50% more sense and was actually rather beautiful at times.
OH man. This is something else. Its everything but boring.

Kind of a boring plot/character intro/infodump episode, but it did have a couple of moments, including "pole dancing" inside of a sentient bus to make it "go faster". Yeah...

I wanna join her crew.
And ruin the garden? Or is there something you're not telling us?
Arjuna 4-
I'm out for tonight. This was done by people on LSD. There is no other explanation.
That said, I think some of the artwork is very beautiful at times even if the character art is lousy. I think the show does a good job at the whole "One is All and All is One" crap but it does feel pretty preachy.

Who is directing 5, then? Hmm, this makes me wonder if episode 7 is going to be
Mikasa's backstory
Azumanga Daioh 18
That one with the super awesome gif of Sakaki catching a snowball and throwing it back. Freaking amazing. Also Tomo picks on Yomi like super hard. Poor Yomi, Tomo keeps telling her she's fat and dumb, but neither of those comments are really that true, as Yomi is a solid 2nd place for both brains and body in the class.
Also Tomo nails Ms. Yukari in the face with her tray. The delivery of the scene is perfect.
Oh and anime people all have super weak constitutions, which is how being outside in the cold for a few hours nets an instant cold, or falling in cold water, etc.

Probably the other guy who was listed for ep5 in the non-Newtype magazines. Can't remember who it was right now, and my laptop kinda imploded so I can't check stuff.

I'd be totally content with the show being like this for the rest of its run. I'm in love.

it started to rain was really fantastic. I love how the lightning gradually changed leading up to the storm. It was a nice touch.

I was thinking the same about 7, but they would have to seriously stretch 6 to make it work. Or perhaps I'm remembering the pace of the manga wrong.
Hopefully you're right.
No idea about episode 5 though.

Well at least they're not dumb. They have that.
