Yeah, I'm not even going to make an attempt at memorizing those seventeen-puns-in-a-single-word names.

Yeah, that's what I figured.
Hating on Ao means you agree with ANN reviews!

Someone who has prior knowledge of the characters and story from the previous installment will undoubtedly be more affected by the last episode than someone coming in fresh. I feel that's pretty important. I don't see the value of watching a show while skipping the one that came before it.
No offense of course Ultima.
My nakamas like AO and I like it too. That's all that matters to me!
I want to like AO even when it's kinda bad. Do I at least get honorary nakama status?

Yep, one of the best EDs of this season. (Maybe ever)
An extremely amusing episode. I really liked the fourth wall breaking jokes that it started with and basically the weirdness of this being an anime in general.
The puns were fun, language puns that I vaguely get. The show is very active even though it's basically talking heads in a room, which is very impressive.
I also see some small SHAFT-ness, with the random text in the background, which is pretty cool. Will watch so much more.

I don't except half-measures. You either give all of yourself, or you give none. Nothing inbetween! Sorry!

Even if you actually liked E7, I don't think there's anybody who thought it needed a sequel.
You're just about at the point where shit gets real. The first part of the show up to like episode 12 is character development and setting up the main story arc.
Hey man, it was taking my all not to drop the show until episode twelve! That has to count for something.
Sorry, true aobros liked the show before ep12.

None taken, I thought of it as a likely event starting the series off. I was wondering when it would come off. This episode feels like the only one where it came into great swing. Also, I've had a number of issues with a number of episodes before this one when this wasn't the case. Therefore, me not "feeling" Eureka Seven AO is far from a new outcome due to not watching the previous series.
We'll always be nakamas because of Aoi Hana and Wandering Son! ...Right?

Is that like actually and non-ironically liking Bakemonogatari?

I am still your nakama despite not being in line with this.
Fate/Zero's House of Rider is forever!

Simply amazing. This is the reason I watch anime. There was just a whole lot of STUFF happening, and I couldn't tell you why at all. It was just nonstop insanity with the only downtime being that transgender kid's misusing of the word sex.
After watching this episode, I went back to check out the last few minutes of 13 of s1 again. What's interesting about this is it's an absolutely SEAMLESS transition into the same exact conflict that season 1 ended on with a cliffhanger. It's like they had an uneven amount of content in terms of time, so they had to just cut the episode and put the remaining content in this one. Probably not the best approach for people that have mostly forgotten what was going on.
Tori is still awesome of course. Even when the guy has no fighting skills at all, he totally livens up the battlefield with his antics and even helped with the disgusting ability. And of course the dude just doesn't give a shit at all that he's naked. Best protagonist of the season once again.
So yeah, I was spot on with the placement of this in the OP. Definitely my number 2 for now. If this episode is any indication, it will be far and away above season 1 as well. Can't wait to see how it develops.

This being said during the credits is genius.

I'm indifferent as a fan of the original. I can't imagine the lack of emotional impact that 12 would have had to someone who didn't care.

That may be the point. Makes you reconsider your own position in a democratic society and how much trust you put on your governors.

So now that EVO and football and school are over it is finally time to go back into animu!
...I have months of catching up to do. Somebody tell me what's the good shit from this season to add to my last season schedule. Besides Lagrange 2, natch.

It also has music done by Hamazu for some reason (his first anime).

I found the FFXIII soundtrack to be mediocre. Some very goods songs and an even greater amount of mediocre tracks.

I did like his FFX work better, though the OST for Binbougami is more XIII I think. Ah well, it's still interesting.
Best thing about it was Hirano's involvement.

Only 8.95 to catch up.

plus the new character seems p. cool.
Anime needs more cool old people and I'm not just talking about this guy.
I wonder if what the old dude said to Sawaki about losing his special ability will be touched on in this series.

Jinrui wa Suitai Shimashita, Tari Tari, Natsuyuki Rendezvous and Joshiraku all own and are totally worth checking out, especially Jinrui.
The official site confirms that recently announced Mirai Fukuin anime is part of the KnK movie series: http://www.karanokyoukai.com/news/index.html

And just when we thought Nonoha wouldn't be useless for once, she is anyway!
Broken Freecell is amusing. Yeah, I'm sure you want to be the only one who gets to "Puzzle Time" Kaito (if that's what the kids are calling it these days).

Huh, I had no idea Danny Choo sold Culture Japan to Crunchyroll.
At the very least, you can watch the JC Staff studio tour episode without having to jump through hopes now:
http://www.crunchyroll.com/culture-japan/episode-9-how-anime-is-made-at-jc-staff-589806
(Or go back to season 1 when he does the fairly awkward tours of Japanese high schools, just in case you want to get your full weeaboo on!)
http://www.crunchyroll.com/culture-japan/episode-6-ita-g-festival-2010-574036
That one has a particularly funny/awkward moment with a guy who put Heartcatch Precure itasha all over his car... and Choo springs some of the actresses from Precure on him and he doesn't know how to respond. lol

It's more Sigma Harmonics than anything.
I love everything he puts out, but i'm a fanboy of the man at this point.
duckroll knows what's upHamauzu's FF work is kinda weak compared to his work on SaGa and Sigma Harmonics.

Oh yeah, this was the Production IG tour that Choo did:

For people wondering about what's the deal with this whole Muv-Luv thing, JP Meyer wrote a post explaining the games. This anime is an adaptation of a spinoff prequel novel.
