This show is a wild fucking ride and I'm loving it. I hope we get to meet this John Titor, but at the same time it might be better if we don't.
The cell phone girl is kinda getting on my nerves. I know this anime is based on a VN and whatever, but so far it seems like she could have just been left out. We'll see if she actually serves any purpose to the plot.

The first seven episodes are the worst, so put your seatbelt on!

were such a mess. "Drama! Now pour some kawaii! Now do the funny face thing! Now some tension! Now fanservice boob shots! Now focus on Wanko's ass! Now happy music! Now stupid flashback! Now funny faces again! And finally drama!" It gets really tiring.

stab someone with an épée? Dang. Watching Chihiro shrug that absurd wound off and give him a headbutt afterwards was one hell of a satisfying moment.

"worst"...
many other good animes would kill to have the quality of the first seven episodes.

fanservice eps...
but instead of feeling turned on, i feel sad watching diseased girls flaunting their (lack of) stuff.

I'm just saying, though. The show has yet to really get started.
And since we're talking about Evangelion, Asuka is clearly where it's at.

That would have been a perfect final episode, but you highlighted my main issue with many parts of the anime, it had pieces in place to be rather compelling but then the random focus changes would ruin anything that it tried to set up. Bunny from the dead didnt help either.

Then Operation "Flaunt lack of pheromones" is a success.
Sankarea 12 -END-
Do we really have to deal with Chihiro's annoying grandfather or his obnoxious friend in the very last episode? Oh well.
Guess they didn't bother coming up with an ending, possibly in hopes that they'll get to work on another season. The episode did find a way to demonstrate how shitty life as a zombie is and that Rea, Chihiro, and Wanko will inevitably suffer because of such condition, though.
I don't know if it would be fair to call this series a disappointment, considering how I had no expectations going in and how great the first three episodes were. From that perspective, I got more than I could've hoped for out of this show.
Yeah, that's another great example of the lack of focus problem. Was that whole sequence really necessary? I wonder. He could've just said "oh, I like that", and the viewer would already get the message that
without having the tension irreversibly dismantled.

Yeah... even the animators probably felt bored. A lot of striking body language. Ending to the arc was quite predictable.
Shit is still boring though. Still a decent enough watch.
HxH and new shit tomorrow (pornsuit equipping gif of muvluv is hilarious). weee~

This episode it's established that
Houtarou's older sibling, who is physically distant from the events of the story, is even smarter than he is.

Good lord at that ending...

I haven't made a detailed comparison, but a quick glance seems to indicate that the chapter-to-episode ratio is roughly similar for both arcs; the Bog arc is just that much more dragged out and the adaptation didn't bump up the amount of compression it was doing to get it to a reasonable pace. It's unfortunate, but I still enjoyed it. At least it's not quite as bad as the Washizu arc in Akagi.
Dont forget to watch End of Evangelion!

yeah after I wake up.
been saying 'one more episode' from episode14 on lol.

If you ever start to compare anything to that arc you know you're in trouble. I imagine they had to make a certain number of episodes but really, the whole arc dragged by at least seven or eight episodes and complete removed any enjoyment I was getting from the show.

You have some weird interpretation of The End of Evangelion.
I've read weirder.

There's a new zombie show? What's the hook this time?
Wow, yeah. Pretty bad.

Yeah, I imagine watching that part week-to-week would be excruciatingly painful, instead of consuming it after the fact like I ended up doing. Hopefully one day there'll be a Gambling Emperor Zero anime, where we won't have to worry about these sorts of pacing issues.
What an action pumped thrill ride.

Then again, Shiki ran for 24 episodes, so it's not impossible for a show to run longer than 11 or 12 episodes.

I can't wait until we get a chance to dissect this show's bathrooms.
Hmm. Sort of interested.
Dark haired girl with the sword gave me horrible flashbacks of Yami to Boushi. Nevermind.

Now, I assume that everyone in Anime is involved in a race to create the worst possible trailer but these guys have really nailed every aspect perfectly. It's lame on every level.
Queen's Blade Rebellion 5-7
I still don't get why Ymir is so evil, but those were nice episodes, with some interesting battles and lots of fanservice, plus Captain Liliana came back with her awesome laughing.
Annelotte's
and I really appreciate her harem building's skills. I hope she'll be able to add Liliana to it.

This is how you make a PV to hype a show.
I can't wait for it to start!

Ruka is the best girl indeed.

Summer season is looking pretty dismal but still have spring backlog to tide me over until you wonderful people tell me what's worth my time.

The music is definitely the best part. It's so bland and weak that I lack the adequate vocabulary to describe it.
Is that a villainous Riverdancer? Because that's kind of amazing.

I'd say none of us are trust worthy here.
Welcome, fellow AnimeGaffer!
We truly are wonderful.
Hey. We have our moments.
New batch of juniors again, eh? Welcome to the asylum. AnimeGAF is actually a pretty good place to try and work off that perilous junior status, just don't knowingly link to hentai, avoid the subject of fansubbing completely, and if Envelope asks you to lick his flap, don't do it.
By most accounts Moyashimon Returns and Bimbougami ga appear to be the most promising shows of summer, although there have already been good impressions for Jinrui wa Suitai Shimashita and Tari Tari and likely more series as they air. Don't take recommendations to watch Earth Maiden Arjuna or Blood-C seriously until you have some time here under your belt. Enjoy your stay!
