God I hope it's better than Heavy Object was. That show never escaped its cringe-worthy character interactions.

Your party is ambushed by a man with a tennis ball. He pretends to throw it.
Roll your d20 for a check to see if you turn around excited looking for the ball.

Satelight hasn't improved their CG since Arjuna.
How is this even possible? Just due to computer advancements they should be getting better results for similar amounts of work. It's absolutely mind baffling.

How different it is from the preview?
If only he took the time to pick it up from the store in the beginning, tsk.
Raphsody said on twitter that it's slightly shorter than 0 but has an actual conclusion.
I would have to rewatch episode 0 but some scenes seem to be reworked and the episode ending is completely different. It flows a lot better as a result.

Re:Zero ep.1
That ED was pretty good, but I'm really confused at that second part. The MC truly is an idiot for not recognizimg it immediately and acted accordingly. I should have known this type of plot device was going to be used by the title, but I guess it's time to find out the rules they use. I guess this chuck isn't who we thought she was at the beginning either. This leads to the question on who the good guys really are... This could get interesting...

It's ok, that's how you develop thicker skin. One day you won't blink an eye when someone badmouths some trashy adaptation that you enjoy anyway. Things are much better then.

This was really good. Just a lot of skits that were all enjoyable. I would watch an entire season of this. They even had a Ranko/Koume pair up. My bitching paid off! Also, Gintama has ruined the Shinsengumi for me. Or improved. I'm not sure.

Surely it's easier just to not be a cunt? Snide remarks about shit people are talking about that they like help fucking what exactly? Getting them thick skin so that you can continue to be an asshole at leisure and not have to actually, I dunno, be accepting of other people's likes and tastes? Is it that difficult to just not snootily throw out passive aggressive statements that further pretty much 0 discussion?
No. This is the only anime thread I participate in.

Stop reading malice into everything.
If only I could further discussion like the constant remarks like this that you've taken a fondness for posting:
This may be difficult to accept, but when I post an opinion about a show, it's not aimed specifically at you.
Yeah. There's a little bit more in the main girl/guy interactions I think. Made it seem to work a bit better for me too. Still not sure about it...having the singers as frontline magical girls.

He wasn't attacking you man, chill. He was making the remark against the show. And if you feel that strongly about the show you could defend it and discussion can be had.
Personally heavy object for me ended up being forgettable because any promise the show had of using engineering thinking to defeat the enemy got taken the fuck down by all of the perverted shit and camera angles they needed to put on every episode. Most interactions with the superior officer ended up revolving on the camera focusing on her tits or ass as the two leads ogled over her.
The dialogue was ok but everytime the two leads had a discussion it seemed like Japanese Joss Whedon wrote for them as they tried to outdo the other with a witty remark/comeback. And complaining about how unfair the work is and how they're tired of being in X doing Y can only get me so far.
Looks cute. Think I saw the nendoroid figure of the main girl before, which looks like they did a very nice job of.
So they definitely did some changes outside of the ending for the broadcast Delta episode, mainly taking out a lot of junk.
-This scene with Freyja saying "I'm here" at 2:00
-When she's berating him, the broadcast version is shorter in that she doesn't ask him if his job is special to him.
-This quick scene is completely cut
-When the two are talking in the alleyway, the dialogue is again reworked as a line asking if she's from the Immigration Fleet is cut.
-When Freyja falls, a shot of some birds flapping is shortened
-Mirage doesn't ask for Hayate's name in the broadcast version
-Some Zentradi isn't shown dropping his cup so in the broadcast version he has it in one shot and doesn't have it in another.
-The battle scenes are trimmed down
-Zentradi beam color changed from blue to red
-The Valkyrie commander doesn't give formation instructions in broadcast episode
-Some shield thing doesn't lose energy in the broadcast making Mirage give it energy
-Some more colors were changed such as shields and beams
-A few more combat dialogue lines are cut
-Everything from 20:40 is brand new to the broadcast version.
Why the fuck I watched this again, I will never know.
-This scene with Freyja saying "I'm here" at 2:00

-When she's berating him, the broadcast version is shorter in that she doesn't ask him if his job is special to him.
-This quick scene is completely cut
-Freyja wanders the city and meets the main idol. The scene actually doesn't make sense as she's later cornered in the shipping district again so the preview episode had it that she went to the main city component then went back to the shipping district to be cornered. It doesn't make sense and so the broadcast episode takes the scene out completely.
-When she's cornered against the fence, a line of dialogue from an extra is cut out
-When the two are talking in the alleyway, the dialogue is again reworked as a line asking if she's from the Immigration Fleet is cut.

Congrats. I could hardly finish the Episode 0 once.
My Hero Academia - 1
All I wanted and more. Nailed the manga feel perfectly and the pacing took its time to make the big moments feel even bigger. BONES brought the big guns for this one.
Phoenix Wright - 1
It was good. I love the characters so watching them in motion was good enough for me, even if I do agree that they could have done more. The games can be fairly intense and I feel they have to double down on that. It has to be Serious Business.
JoJo Part 4 - 1
The color pallets choices are incredibly inspired and the cast choices for Koichi and Josuke... just as I imagined them when reading it. Animation-wise its decent, but it more that makes up for it on style. I am excited to see the OP and ED, they are usually great.

I finished Showa Genroku Rakugo Shinju today and started JoJo DIU, I don't recall ever been so excited/happy about anime in years. 
I would say maybe find something else to watch. It's pretty one note, and if you're not feeling it right now it's not going to go anywhere that works for you.

Finally, things sort of make a little more sense than the craziness in 0.89. Dude got himself swept up and thought he was riding the wind, only to get shot and on his way to crashing.
The quality looks better this time around too, and now I can definitely say that Mikumo is the best one in the whole Walkzure group. Best transformation sequence, best outfit, and best singing voice. Music is logic! >*Kira~

Technology and software advancement doesn't mean companies are immediately adopting to it. It's either they don't want to learn a new thing,hardware and software are expensive to licensed or their old assets doesn't work well with new things,in other words it's money and time.

Allow me to take off my anti-Shonen hipster glasses and say, wow... I like this already. It feels like One Punch Man all over again. And man, I really hope that bully gets his teeth knocked out and face burned.
I love the TEXAS SMASH!!
Lost Village 01
Using online names, huh... Well, I can't lie, this was funnier than I expected. I sort of like this dark comedy. I know it's Okada, but I want to wait until I see more.
Damn, she is busy this season, haha

Actually I think the comment about Satelight CG is probably snarky. Satelight doesn't do a ton of CG on their own afaik. They always partner with other studios, and it depends on the studios. For example, Macross Frontier and Aquarion had Orange handling a lot of key scenes and they looked great. In fact, Macross Frontier is what put Orange on the map as a CG studio to watch out for.
I thought they had an in-house studio too.
They do, but so does BONES. Doesn't mean the majority of CG work is done there. Show by Rock's CG for example is a totally different studio. I dunno, maybe Satelight does more stuff internally now? I haven't kept track.
Most studios are not like Ufotable and KyoAni where they handled almost everything internally and only outsource for support assets.

So, the premise itself started off kind of interesting, although it would have been better if Yu's story at the beginning had been a full episode instead of an infodump. Once he gets transferred and the main story really begins, I can definitely see the potential it had, but it didn't really live up to it by wasting time with inessential Characters after Yusarin's episode. I wouldn't have thought of those episodes as being a waste of time if this was a longer show, but knowing it was only a 13 episode series I couldn't help but think the whole time those episodes would have been better spent introducing or having more substantial development for the main characters beyond the few scenes in each episode. I can't say I completely disliked them though since I find the characters amusing enough so far. Ep 6 seemed like a step in the right direction by focusing on someone close to the main cast, or someone who seemed like she was about to be moved up to being a main cast member...
Then episode 7 happened. Are you fucking kidding me? I was at least invested in it up to the point where he started doing the evil laugh when playing arcade games, and from there they were definitely trying too hard with this part...

Sailor Moon Mondays: Sailor Moon Stars: Episode 198:
You know, I think there was a missed opportunity in not having evil Uranus and Neptune around for more than half and episode, as not shockingly they are really effective and believable in the role. Comes with the whole shades of gray wetworks mentality I would imagine. Indeed, they do not pull the punches in the facade as they do use powered up versions of their signature attacks against the heroes that are left so that Galaxia would relax her guard. The ploy works as The Outers use the power of the bracelets against her in order to coax her star seed out into the open, a sound plan on paper, but one that was prepared for as she lacks a star seed in her body. With the grand plan up in smoke Uranus and Neptune are resigned to their fate to die, something they have never had compunctions about in their pursuit for the greater good. It is now down to Sailor Moon and The Sailor Stars against the self proclaimed greatest of the Sailor Guardians as she is damned close to total victory.

Sailor Moon Mondays: Sailor Moon Stars: Episode 199:
Right, since we have to kill an episode before the real grand finale can begin, we get to learn the full backstory of Sailor Galaxia this episode. Turns out she was once the greatest hero in the universe whose victories culminated in sealing the very source of evil in her body. Yea, unsurprisingly this was not the smartest of moves on her part as being the host for the literal incrimination of evil tend to turn a person into an evil tyrant. Though I should note her alignment here would be lawful evil as she adopted that better protection through tyranny belief structure in contrast to a being named Chaos.
