Apparently so, and he'll probably go again as he came back; silently to not return for a long time, or never.

The best anime ever is a J.C. Staff show so it's hard to disagree.
That goes without saying.
Well, if your only familiarity with eyepatches is the black one-string pirate ones, then sure, but the white ones are pretty common for medical cases.

though he is wrong they are cat and fox girls
Yeah Eiken is pretty amazing.
Why? He would probably like it.
I actually had to wear one after an infection three of four years ago and visited an eye clinic every day for more than a week during that time. I've seen a lot of eyepatches. But they looked nothing like those. They were either actual oval band-aids (adhesive, no strings), or more like pirate eyepatches, except with one string on one side and two strings on the other (Y shaped, strings join behind the ear). I guess it depends on the country or something.

Fuck you I meant
Toradora!
Because then he's gonna start drawing HSotD/K-ON! fanart.
Okay, so eyepatches are indicative of useless shows, not useless characters, then.

No, I've watched the beach episode, I think that's good enough.
So with a new arc comes new developments and characters. Chiyu becoming the very desirable healer isn't too surprising even though it seems more like she should be bashing things up rather than fixing them. Fancy looking healing skill though. I guess with Brain Burst being more of a online fighting game than an mmorpg it makes more sense that healers are rare.
Frightening way to start off the episode. Poor Haru. No one should have to wake up from that.
Most of the episode was pretty much just set up with Chiyu's Brain Bursting initiation, her desire for the trio of friends to have fun again (dat cushion world) and the new character who made Taku look free in kendo. Snow Black leaves the gang to fend for themselves while she takes a school trip.
1. They really have these cg interface parts of the show down pat. I felt they looked good before but the way the bar depleted in this scene seemed better than usual.
2. I'm kind of a fan of when animators use tracer-like line motion to depict slicing movement or the like when its a really smooth sequence but here it just looked really tacky.
1. The more I see these sorts of scenes, the more bothered I get by how pointless and cost cutting they are. There literally nothing going on except for the minimal opening and closing of boxes that are supposed to be their mouths.
2. Sometimes these static crowd shots are really weird when the cut lasts too long. That girl with the tilted head must be thinking some deep thoughts.
On a different note there were a trio of new bgm. Always a plus in my book. The one at the cushion scene felt like kind of like a bms song though I'm not sure if I'd attribute it to onoken. While the part with Chiyu's initial entry into the Accelerated world is definitely some onoken stuff. The following track is some mint jam goodness.

I don't like zombie shows.
Why is kuroyukihimesenpai so pure and loving? ;_;
Yeah, those were good times. Preppy girls lined up one after another begging me to free them from the oppressive, smothering confines of social acceptance. As I unzipped my cargo shorts, I told them that to experience the disappointment of others, they must first experience something far exceeding their expectations.
So not only the eyepatch, but the different colour eyes as well. Going to find out it's a fake next. Probably from IKEA judging by the colours.

Eh, whatever. To short for me to say it's good or bad. I'll just keep watching just to say I did.
Uh, ok...
Crazy ladies. I'd watch yourself unassuming blue-haired man

This actually happened to me, but it turned out she used to be super fat too. Her nerd tendencies didn't dilute with the weight loss.

So the only reason I didn't get a girlfriend in middle school was because I was skinny. :I

Asks questions so Ezalc doesn't have to
I don't see the problem with that. Then again, maybe the latest Saeko Busujima fanart drawn by Maidoll I saw has my judgment clouded.

Got the Black Lagoon: Roberta's Blood Trail BRD today with all the episodes and can't wait to watch it. I hope my expectation for explosions, action and blood won't be disappointed.

Whoa, I actually had a toy of that when I was a child. Probably a cheap knockoff though.

If you don't consider body swapping and some amusing humor to be a hook, then I don't know what to say. It was a great first episode!
The eyepatches are there to balance them out a bit... those characters are competent, so by giving them an eyepatch they at least get some damaged-moe cred. Otherwise they wouldn't be moe at all, right? I mean, competency isn't cute of course.
(Ugh, Japan...)
Yeah, Sakura with an eyepatch might be going a bit overboard on the uselessness scale...
Eye patches in anime aren't awesome.
They are right, that is what they say.
Can't really argue with that.

?
"What's the worst that could happen?"
I laughed at the idea of some of the NerveGear's features. They were really stupid. I'm almost surprised that some of the players didn't laugh. The main character made a fist about four times in the episode, so he's determined and shit.
I had an okay time with it. The premise is extremely silly in my eyes, but I don't think it could have ever presented itself in a fashion that would make me take it with a straight face. That means it'll all be execution from here on out. I'll probably watch it non-regularly until I find a reason to drop.

An average episode. While it wasn't terribly boring, it wasn't really funny. It was ok.
Something so terrible that even black bars or light flares could censor it?

I thought Lady Hokage's reaction to Lee's comments about her were extremely hilarious each time during the episode.
Do we have an essential list by Gaffers that's possibly lying somewhere in the dark corners of AnimeGAF Past?
the cat returns is an awesome feature film wanna fight about it

Glad to see
Yeah. He has friends and experience so he'll be fine.
That face! Hahaha!
Glad to see
everyone getting their memories back save for Usagi who still seems to have no clue on who she really is. Hopefully that changes in the next few episodes.

Taku really is the punching bag of the series. Poor guy.

That's why he's an armor knight. So, he can take all that abuse!
Heh.
That doesn't sound good.
Your train analogies are always amazing :lol

Plenty of "salt", but little of anything else notable, unfortunately.
Grumbly's face looking like a "Good job!" sticker.

Doesn't the headset in .hack also do this? Didn't that also kill people? I dunno if it was ever explained in //sign because I dropped it and assumed the MC was trapped in the game because they were so boring and uninteresting their brain just gave up and forced the MC into some sort of coma. Which I feared my brain would do if I kept watching //sign.
