Oh, LOL. I just got to the ending. BUWHAHAHAHA. That IS troll. man...
On today's Friday Road SHOW! I was expecting a better picture quality reprise of the EVA-EXTRA 08 trailer, but instead and after the same fragments already shown on that event from Evangelion: 1.0 and Evangelion: 2.0 we get... a CGI piano? So it seems:

Argh! I admit my defeat.

And here I thought you would embrace that Studio DEEN's Numata-ness.

It's not my fault I'm doing a backlog season! The summer's just too boring!
Paranoia Agent 1
I remember a few incredible episodes from my Toonami days, but I only saw scattered parts, so it never really made sense. Satoshi Kon is a great director (Millennium Actress is one of my favorite movies ever), so I wanted to experience more of his work.
The first episode opens with a montage of people abdicating responsibility for all sorts of reasons. It seems like a non-sequitor, but it's related to a lot of the emotions that Tsukiko feels in this episode. Overwhelmed with expectations, she wishes for some magic, and like a monkey's paw, it comes for her on roller skates.
The character designs here are really strong. It's not a particularly exaggerated style, yet everyone introduced so far is incredibly distinct, particularly Kawaru, the sleazy investigative journalist.
Still, the show seems equally focused on the society surrounding those people. I'm not used to seeing anime making this kind of statement. Maybe I haven't learned enough from the mountain.
I love the aural motif for Shonen Bat. That sound... it's the sound of inevitability.
There are some weird quasi-supernatural loose ends that got thrown out in this episode, and I'm not sure how I feel about them. Not that the show is realistic, but I'd rather they kept that stuff focused on the attacks, at least at first.
I'm pretty happy with the stuff Ultimadrago and I have picked out for backlog season. I'm looking forward to seeing new episodes each week!
Is this not one of the best OPs ever?

I like the way the darkness approaches here. The lights stay on, but their illumination seems to be swallowed up.

His eyes, in particular, remind me of some kind of slimy amphibious predator that waits patiently before swallowing up helpless prey.

Saki Picture Drama - 06
This episode was really sweet. Mihoko really is best waifu.
Saki Picture Drama - 07
Wat. And that outfit Nodoka is wearing is ridiculous.
Saki Episode of Side-A - 01
Liking the cast so far for Side-A. Here's hoping their team will be as beastly as Saki's.
Adorable!

Oh man, the bombs keep on dropping,amazing how one episode can answer a shitload of questions and yet creates more questions.
But I'm slightly confused about the
Nirvashes involve when time travelling comes into the equation. It seems to me there are like 2 Nirvash that appear 13 years ago.
Do you guys not pay attention to the show or something? Truth is the Secret that Eureka fought 10 years ago. That was in 2015. After she triggered the Scub Burst somehow he ended up with a human form. By 2017 he was adopted by Johanson (that's when the photo was taken, 2 years after Eureka's incident) as a foster son. They never said he was his real father. The reason why Truth remembers Nirvash and Eureka, and wants to chase after them so badly, is because he wants revenge for what happened. It all adds up.
They even show the humanoid Secret in the flashback firing the arm as a weapon, and then they show Truth using the SAME attack later. In the same episode! Come on guys...

So even the Japanese think ethanol is a scam?

I saw that. I didn't know the date on the Johanson picture which is why I state w/e I did above. Now my theory works without problems and ambiguity. Lucky me. I stated this before you did Duckroll! MY THEORIES ARE CORRECT!!!
It's so much cuter/funnier when I read all your posts as something coming out of your avatar! ^_^
It feels like it's been a year. Just let me get out of this avatar. Dammit....
I say yes. Duckroll and others are going to give you a list and then proceed to tell you to skip entire segments of the episode for awesome fights.
That might or might not be a mistake.

Thats rather clear. The constant time juggling and references always throws me off, so I had been hoping for some clarification, thanks.

Holy shit. That plot... twist?
Anyone else get Hitman Blood Money vibes when the choir and 'gunshots' happened? Can't fucking wait for new one
The MC does remind me of Kobato for some reason. Hmmm....
What was that other show with sentient hair of somewhat recent. Neuro?

Better writing? Uh... Not sure about that... Well... hmm.... It's going to be a train wreck.
They already introduced Time Travel. It's already messed up.
I've seen information on how much companies there have invested on cellulose-based ethanol production, but good promises and a 'chic' Type H of Citroën can make wonders for the reputation of certain entrepreneurs:

I'm going to hold off on overall quality comparisons because they can really tank the series if they want but it's definitely their most ambitious writing since probably Raphxenon. They do seem to know what they're doing which gives me hope unlike DtB S2 which inspired absolutely no faith in me.
It's pretty clear that they had most if not all the story points pre-written before they started the series.

From episode one, yes. No skipping. Take a shot every time you feel the urge to kill yourself. Entertainment!

Delicious?
I already watched the first 3-4 episode before I quit. How much worse can it get?
Episode five is a nice high. No comment on the rest until 11. I plan on watching episode seven soon.
Keep expectations low. But the episode could be pretty important in the near future.
Rarely have I seen that aspect done well in terms of execution and plot points for narratives.

Paranoia Agent 1
We start off with a city full of apologies and excuses. A plush designer down on her "luck" is attacked by a young assailant with a metal bat. A couple of detectives and a weaselly journalist are on the case.
As sonicmj already shared, the character designs of Satoshi Kon's works are expressive and quite distinctive. Worthy of second mention, displayed well in the trouble making expressions from Kawazu, the journalist:
He sure is the textbook definition of a "bug-eyed creep."
Anyways, as time goes on
. So the plot continues as the tangibility of the child seems all, but sure. I wonder how the series will continue with this element. A minor case that will soon be solved to reveal a greater problem (most likely supernatural) or is Shonen Bat, with all his mystery, potentially as large as the focus needs to be?
This backlog season is off to a good start. All the shows chosen have had some element that I am eager to witness more of in the coming week.
I am ready to continue this journey with sonicmj1!
What's so funny, everyone?

Ive not been a fan of either the OP or the ED, I either just zone out or just skip to the preview. Hopefully a second OP or ED are better than what we have now.
Best ship preparing to dock! Ready the anchors.
Sooooooo delicious.
Probably because it was bad.
I'm not talking about new season test-drive
More to what people seems ready to marathon but watch other 1st episode again, make your mind!
I'm not marathoning! I'm doing a backlog season.
Everything will get finished, one episode a week.
Wait till you see episode 2
It hearkens back to the days when Gainax could reliably remember to add the important little details.
Paranoia Agent is one of the best animes and all, but this season is waaaaay far from boring so far. Its actually really good.

Ethanol is a gigantic fucking scam. Trust me, I know. Its the biggest waste of time and a pain in the ass in every way for fuel companies and stores to deal with. Everybody hates it.

Ah-ha
Kazoo fapping chickens and self-aware hair. Welcome to Jinrui. And yes, Miss uhh...Hnng does remind of Kobato. She's adorable.Paranoia Agent is the last show on the list. So everything Ultimadrago and I have started this week.
I did something like it during Winter season, and even though I didn't follow through on all my shows, I had a lot of fun watching Usagi Drop, Tatami Galaxy, and Trapeze on a weekly schedule. It gave me a lot of time to think about each episode.
I don't think patience is too much of a problem. If you can wait when stuff is airing, why can't you wait for a backlog show?
It's definitely going better than I expected. I didn't think there'd be anything worth watching, but Jinrui has been an unexpected delight.
I have so many shows on backlog. Some of them airing, some have aired and sit on CR to pick at later. Others sit on my shelf still in the wrapper. So much anime cries for my attention, trying to claw its way out of its confines and force itself into my eyesockets, moaning sweet nothings of jealousy and rage. "Why did you watch Green Green and not me?" "Surely if you watched Maburaho then I'm good enough for you, Cajun". These thoughts haunt me daily. I should have saw it coming.... I shouldn't have opened the door.....
Oh God here it comes again...
