Twin Star Exorcists - 03

They really meant 4 cours when they said 4 cours, didn't they? They're shuffling a lot around and adding lots of things. This episode was mostly filler, with some of the beginning of chapter 3, bits of chapter 6 and some foreshadowing about stuff even further beyond that, and according to the preview next episode will cover the rest of chapter 3.
...I don't really have a problem with that, it works quite well actually. The anime-original mascot also blends in pretty well with the other characters.

My only major gripe so far is that they skimped on much of the explanations what the Kegare actually are and the 'workday' of an exorcist, which would make things a bit less 'abstract', I think. Though I wouldn't be surprised if they did that sometime later, seeing as they are already rearranging lots and lots of things.
Character art wasn't all that hot this episode at times, but still serviceable.

A bit off topic. I saw the thread about GAF's average age, and I was wondering what is AnimeGAF's average. Mid-late 20s?

I'm 23 myself. Guess that puts me on the younger end of the spectrum?

Twin Star Exorcists Episode 3

Rokuro makes the best faces.

Wasnt this all original beyond the Benio enroll in class. Also I dont remember the manga focusing on Mayura's bewbies as much as the anime did

Karma is a bitch. The tables have turned. Just when Ringo became the best.

I have no idea what's happening with the rest of the cast. Mass bombings, dark rabbits, a flamboyant pink haired man, deaths and revivals...

Twin Star Exorcist ep.3:

This is good. I mean, I really, really like this show. It hits an awkward tone in presentation, but it is engaging and fun to watch. The battle sequences are really well done and even though there is a lot of impending drama to come with the childhood friend, it should be a fun ride for sure. I almost want to throw an OT together since this is going to be 4 cours, but do we have any idea on how the airing schedule for the 4 cours?

Oh jolly Penguindrum, love that show. A lot of things won't make sense right away or directly but think at a deeper level whenever you get a chance.

Idolm@ster CG 02

A whole new set of (cute girl!) characters, more than one can take in a single episode but there's no need to take right away either.

No 'strong' feelings for the show yet but generally positive appeal to it.

It also seems like it's going to be treat in terms of character animation going by the dancing.

 

[Line_HTX]

Good God, that is the worst hair bun I've ever seen.

 

[SliceSabre]

Eww I hate love.

 

[Puruzi]

That hair bum look bad and odd.

Flip a coin between Tenchi Muyo and Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya.

I watched Tenchi Muyo in elementary without realizing what it really was, lmao

Haruhi, it's a very fun show and while I haven't seen the others since watching it I realise at least 50% of referential humour in anime is about this show

Well, that settles that real quick, lol.

 

[blurr]

Well, that settles that real quick, lol.

Watch until second season and movie, not just first season.

 

[Line_HTX]

Well, that settles that real quick, lol.

Next question, and this is important. Are you going to watch the broadcast order or the chronological order?

This applies to the first season, of course.

Well, so far, I have found three different versions of the show from chibi characters to a girl in a bunny suit sell groceries, but I have yet to find the actual show I've seen images for..... WTF.

I have no idea, what is the correct order to watch?

 

[victreeb3l]

Gonna be 28 soon.

Accomplishments:

Failures:

- Rejected from Tokyo University, unable to fulfill a childhood promise
- Still awful at fighting games

The bunny suit girl is the right show. Not sure if it's the best for you to watch in airing order though...

the chibi one you saw is Melancholy of "Haruhi-chan" suzumiya - it's a silly comedy centric spin off

bunny suit one is actually episode 00 according to the original airing order - it won't make sense at all but there's a context and reason for that which you won't know until much later

Chronologically, follow the order mentioned in column E here (for both seasons, scroll down for season 2)

You can watch as per airing order as well, it should be an experience of its own kind

 

[Cornbread78]

The bunny suit girl is the right show. Not sure if it's the best for you to watch in airing order though...

So episode 1 instead of ep. 00 then, correct? Skip bunny girl and go directly to the part when he is arriving at school?

EDIT: Fu(k it, I'm just gonna let it rip from here. That bunny girl part looks like it was animated in the 70's...

 

[blurr]

Airing order is confusing and generally not advisable but as I mentioned, not entirely a bad way to watch.

The chibi ones are more on the side, Haruhi-chan, Nyoron, etc.

 

[TUSR]

Broadcast order is the best way to watch Haruhi.

Well, with how Corn is watching anime I'm not sure airing order is for him

Guilty Crown is a must watch.

 

[nintendoman58]

The fact that Guilty Crown is on that list has me very concerned.

 

[Ascheroth]

I liked Guilty Crown!

I have no idea, I'll just let it go from here. That chick just introduced herself to the class like a lunatic, so I have to be at the beginning right?!

 

[nintendoman58]

You're literally the second person I heard say that, with the first being DTL.

Other than that, I've heard absolutely nobody say they liked that show and have only issued warnings about it.

I have a number of friends that also liked Guilty Crown!
Corn would probably like it too.

Yes, just keep watching

Dude, episode 00 should be your starter.

It's pretty neat and BEAM~!

 

[blurr]

love that OP song for 00 /fanboying

 

[Clov]

• The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya
• Guilty Crown

• Tenchi Muyou!

If you have to chose between those, go with Haruhi.

Spoiler

It's the only one out of that list that I've seen.

It's not great, but it definitely has some enjoyable moments and fun characters. For Melancholy, make sure to watch it in broadcast order; it makes it slightly more interesting, and gives a better ending to the first season. Also, make sure to watch the "Nyoron" spin-off at some point. Love how strange that one is.

EDIT: Fu(k it, I'm just gonna let it rip from here. That bunny girl part looks like it was animated in the 70's...

Have... have you actually seen any anime from the 70s? It tends to look a bit different than Haruhi, and not just in terms of style.

 

[nintendoman58]

love that OP song for 00

I am a fan of Daybreak's Bell.

 

[blurr]

I am a fan of Daybreak's Bell.

I meant the OP song for Haruhi episode 00 lol

EP00 actually happens later. Broadcast order is all jumbled up, but it kind of did work okay for me.

Mi-mi-mirakuru Mikurun-run!

Will be looking forward to your impressions once you get to Endless Eight, and that gif a couple pages ago reminded me that indeed, Haruhi did a better Ace Attorney animation than the AA anime itself.

 

[blurr]

Yep, looking forward to all the impressions of the show and the movie oh god I love that.

 

[nintendoman58]

I meant the OP song for Haruhi episode 00 lol

I know. Couldn't help but make that joke, lol.

 

[JulianImp]

Yep, looking forward to all the impressions of the show and the movie oh god I love that.

Yeah, the movie was great.

I kind of hated how they gave Kyon the moeblob treatment for the Nagato spin-off series, and I kept hoping for Haruhi to show up and hijack the plot since the Haruhi/Kyon relationship was way better than that generic Kyon/Nagato one.

 

[Cornbread78]

this is something else...

 

[blurr]

I did not bother watching the Nagato spin off series.

someone stop me before I end up watching Kancolle over this

 

[Deadly]

The fact that Guilty Crown is on that list has me very concerned.

Seconded. Ditch this show from your list. It's fuckin terrible.
