You sure? I don't know if they are still interested in something like that (to repeat that kind of format) again if BANPRESTO's producer Shigeru Hirata said their intentions were to make next either a series or a movie to cement a second step for the franchise, as they implied the OVA was like an introduction (pilot?) for something more expansive to come... if they could have the opportunity to make more, of course.

Make it to episode five yet? Its one of the most hilarious ones of the anime, just rewatched it today.
Maybe it could be a TV show or a movie, I just doubt that it will be released this year. Hayashi is AD of Drilland episode 1 so his involvement in that isn't so superficial.

They got the wrong one!
Yeah, but isn't that the one where
Angel is seen trying to buy her favorite food, spicy tofu, from the vending machine?
Dang it. This is just getting more confusing. There are different orders to watch the first season in, apparently (though I'm just planning on watching them in the airing order). And now I'm reading that the second season was mixed with the first, so you have to watch the whole show with with the second season episodes together :/ If I watch season one alone as is (Season one appears to be all that's offered on crunchyroll at this time), and then watch the movie, will I be totally bewildered?

I'm done with Another.
It's started alright, with a nice and creepy build-up, a bit of mystery and a shocking first death. It went a bit downhill after Episode 4 or 5 and I found the first reveal
and the reasoning for the behavior of the class a bit silly. The build-up to the second reveal was more interesting than the reveal itself. The tension I've hoped for wasn't there at all. To turn the last few episodes from Final Destination into Battle Royal was uncalled for, imo.
All in all I can say is I wouldn't recommend this anime to anyone and seeing how I bored myself through the end, I found it to be a waste of my time.
E: Watching the OVA now.

Eureka Seven: Astral Ocean 11
Everyone made fun of Elena this whole time but it turns out she is just too deep for you. The pacing in this episode was extremely poor, and the episode fluttered all over the place with its tone and focus. The burden of knowledge regarding the original series is rearing its ugly head and the show is introducing too many questions on multiple fronts. I couldn't really tell you why I'm watching this because I really don't feel like I'm getting much of anything out of each episode.
Well, the endless eight is pretty redundant past the first episode. That's only recommended if you have a morbid curiousness to watch it all unfold before your eyes, again, again, and again, etc.
oh yeah, I chuckled when the boy made his confession but the same guy as before took the chair into the ceiling again
what does this mean?? D:

It isn't that bad considering you can marathon through it in one go now.
It becomes somewhat comforting near the end.

It makes still no sense to watch the same shit for 160 minutes.

Did you like the bit where hundreds of things happened at once?
There is no wrong iM@S anime.
It doesn't help that I somehow typed out "curiosity" in such a mangled fashion...
But if you mean the episodes themselves, it's pretty impressive how the concept of the same events repeating themselves eight times is executed quite so literally in the anime.
I got that too, but I have accepted that I am definitely a minority with that.
You can watch both seasons in whichever order your prefer. Season one and season two can be viewed independently of each other without have to mix and match them chronologically.
However, if you do watch season one and then the movie, you will be totally bewildered and it will not make any sense to you beyond the first act.
Edit: I'm not sure if this is a regional thing but from my end, season two is still on Crunchyroll.
I think that was the part where I gave up on truly understanding stuff and hoped things would start blowing up again.

Maybe they just hope people will confuse it for the other Idolmaster series?

Was at the niconico exhibit until about half an hour ago. It was great fun, drawing on the box Gundam and pushing people in demand.
Now waiting on the Aoki and Kondo panel. Can't wait.

I tried to write a synopsis what occurred during that episode but I gave up half-way through.
I was watching that for far too long. How mad was Joel when he came on? Stream turned on him fast.
InsaneZero
Member
He didn't seem too bothered, although I wasn't paying that much attention to him at the time.
ah thanks.. it's showing up now. For some reason I was only getting one season on the page.

Another OVA
It wouldn't be an anime, if two twin sisters didn't have a pervy moment in the bathroom.
Other than that, meh.

Probably, it worked a couple of weeks ago.
Déjà vu.
The fact that keeps getting quoted with my glaring error, still intact, is killing me!

watch the first and the last episode if you want.

but they have Cajunator now. He will save the US anime industry.

He could probably save it twice over if needed.
Nobody's perfect.
Anybody who saw the first episode knows that it's not realistic basketball.
It's better and far more entertaining than realistic basketball.
Can't wait to watch the episode.

Of course its not real basketball...its the basketball which Kuroko Plays!
No, like others have said, the first and final episodes should be watched. Other than that, everything else is superfluous, containing only very minor differences between each episode. The premise is interesting, and without trying to repeat what has already been said recently, it's fascinating (if not particularly entertaining) in its execution.
If you start to get fed up by the second-cycle, just skip to the end.
InsaneZero, please, offer to Mr. Kondo on my behalf condolences for the death of the Anime Bunko label.

Watch it all. All eight episodes may be the same in general context, but each episode has unique visuals. Little things here and there are changed throughout the infinite loop,
as Nagato is kind enough to share when asked
uhh.... that in no way is a good reason to suffer through 8 episodes of the same shit. "oh look! her shirt is a different colour in this episode! That made it totally worth suffering through the same episode again!" No, it doesn't work that way for most people.

As others said, the first and last one would be good enough to bring you up to speed.
You can gloss over the other ones if you like seeing all the hard work KyoAni did in drawing each one.
Hell yeah DTL!
Oh, and people should watch Endless Eight, at least fast forwarding through episodes 2-7, I'm sure most of have seen anime that are far more boring.
Jex

You can't really create the original experience unless you watch one episode per week for eight weeks straight. If you aren't suffering for two whole months than it's not really the same thing as The Endless Eight.
Sailor Moon R 80
An Ami episode!
Also, the droid casting
An Ami episode!
The best part of the episode was that the Droid attacked a place that didn't have the Sailors coincidentally show up at the same time.
the spell on Usagi was really funny, poor Usagi is just used to all the abuse by now.

You pretty much develop that after watching all eight episodes. And, it's pretty awesome!
*3 seconds till game over*
"Now I'm going to explain in a minute why I want to shoot it right here!"
*fakes a shot, takes the shot again*
"Now I'm going to explain why I believe in your jump!"
The punch-pass is awesome though. :3
Edit: They should totally do a magical girl parody. Kise, Aomine, Midorima, Kuroko...
