She probably has nothing to do with the marketing, if she's basically churning out scripts for whatever anime studio needs writers.

I like the facial expressions. I feel like this episode is going to make me laugh.
It will be an amazing episode, that's for sure.
Well, it always manages to achieve the desired effect with me!

even with Buriki everything looks so generic. PA Works is truly a magical studio.

Yozora was already superior. Now it's not even a contest. I almost feel bad for Meat.
You reminded me that I have Squid Girl on bluray and the thought made me very happy.
I should watch it again.
And then again.
Because you can't have too much Ika Musume.
You must mean Sena.
Oh hell yeah! Glad to see goddess Kana hanazawa getting more lead roles.
Oh hell naw! Why do PA works always work with her?
Hey guys! Did you want to know what happened after the end of the war between the Federation and Zeon?
No?
Mobile Suit Gundam 08th MS Team 12: Last Resort
I don't know why this episode even exists. It's minor enough that I can just kind of pretend it never happened, but it raises some pretty big problems.
The shift in tone isn't really a problem. It's melancholy and laconic, but that fits the period where the episode is set. I don't mind what happened to the team, or anything like that.
The problem is that the episode shows us if there's anything more evil than war, it's kids. Kids suck.
I have no idea what these kids are supposed to communicate. They're creepy and weird. The moment where
But most importantly, the circumstances make Shiro seem like a huge jerk, going against all of the show's messaging to that point so the show can earn one more bit of emotional catharsis. I'll detail my objections below.
Also, the general animation quality seemed below par here in general, though I can't point to specific examples.
It's not awful, but this episode shouldn't have been made, given how great a conclusion the finale was.

What is this shit, Eureka Seven? Get out of my mech show.
I have no idea what these kids are supposed to communicate. They're creepy and weird. The moment where
they "return their names" to Michel and Kiki feels emotionally weightless, so the whole thing is just bewildering.
So Shiro and Aina barely survive the explosion of the Apsalus, and they run away so nothing will come between their love. They start anew. Then they find a group of kids who were conditioned by Zeon to be loyal soldiers. They teach them important practical life skills, conduct a symbolic ceremony to completely cut themselves off from the past, and then they leave the kids in the wilderness to fend for themselves as soldiers of Zeon. What the fucking fuck? Why wouldn't they help them find civilization? Why wouldn't they convince their charges, who deeply idolize them, that they shouldn't sacrifice themselves for a meaningless, stupid war? It feels completely out of character.
Also, the general animation quality seemed below par here in general, though I can't point to specific examples.

Asks questions so Ezalc doesn't have to
This was my EXACT reaction! XD
Considering the kids in Eureka Seven came from Gundam, it's only fitting.
Guess I don't need to watch any more Gundam then.
Doesn't that OVA or add on disc thing come out today? I've been looking forward to that and season 2.

The children have been a part of the first experiments involving Newtypes. My memory is hazy, but I believe they were about to leave Earth, but came down crashing and got separated. It wasn't a good episode, but it has some relevance on the One Year War that's about to happen in the near future. The last scene was touching too.
If Ano Hana didn't do it, then Black Rock Shooter would have broken their minds.
I don't think there is one show, just that she's everywhere, which is where the nickname Okadabot comes from.

Manga is full of very good moments and the author never fails to surprise me .. you should check it out.
I've just woken up and then i see that kayos is back ..
A world without tragedies ? sound boring to me
Fishing is good ..Especially when you're not trying to catch a fish
( like in those yakuza games )
I believe the Newtype thing (I was considering making a joke about Coordinators), though I don't care too much since this is my first UC Gundam. It seems like they were on a ship that was going to get shot down, and their escape craft was sent to Earth.
The last scene was nice, but not enough to redeem the whole episode.
So do I but I was left with one showing on a day I can't do, one that is ridiculously priced and another miles away.
Silly BFI. Should have shown it in my local Picture House.
So I went over to r/anime and they posted a list of stats about themselves and Angel Beats was ranked pretty high.

Something I didn't notice before, but a more complete staff list is up for Nerawareta Gakuen. The staff list is particularly interesting because instead of regular Sunrise staff on the movie, it looks like Ryosuke Nakamura brought with him a pretty complete team from his Madhouse projects:
Director: Ryosuke Nakamura (Aoi Bungaku Ep9-10, Mōryō no Hako)
Screenplay: Ryosuke Nakamura, Yuko Naito
Character Design/Chief Animation Director: Mieko Hosoi ((Aoi Bungaku Ep9-10)
Art Director: Hidetoshi Kaneko (Aoi Bungaku Ep9-10, Mōryō no Hako)
Color design: Yuko Kobari (Aoi Bungaku Ep7-10)
Image Art: Yoshitsugi Yoshida
Screen Design: Kenichi Shimizu (Aoi Bungaku Ep9-10 animator)
Special Effects: Kumiko Taniguchi (Mōryō no Hako)
CG Director: Tomohiko Kan
Director of Photography: Shinichi Igarashi (Aoi Bungaku Ep9-10, Mōryō no Hako)
Editing: Aya Hida
Sound Director: Youji Shimizu
Music: Shusei Murai (Aoi Bungaku Ep9-10, Mōryō no Hako)
Pretty impressive how he managed to grab all his regular main staffers even after changing studio. Madhouse is Deadhouse indeed.

All her original work seems to be of questionable quality.
Welcome back Kayos!
True Tears was great, I doubt her or P.A Works surpass that show.

well, all animes with her have a special place in my heart.
Are they saying they rewatch shows 50 times?

I had no idea Clannad was so popular. Is it really worth watching?
And what the hell is a clannad anyway?

Yes. After Story is the best work KyoAni has ever done. A few episodes in particular are absolutely amazing stuff.
Keyshit.

It's the only Key story I've found tolerable. It's better than the rest of Jun Maeda's shit anyway.
Clannad as in clan, as in it's story about families.
I have just about every show on that list so I definitely agree with those guys.
Angel Beats is loved for the same reason those other Key shows are loved. People love fictional drama. I am one of those people. I hate real drama though.

What about the nads?
Not a significant number of those. No worries.
