Read the manga. There probably won't be any more anime.
It didn't look bad, especially given what shit like OP and Bleach can look like, but it definitely felt markedly worse than previous HxH fights.
They saving for the bigger fight #believe
I'm hoping they were saving just for next week's conclusion.
There's also the fact that the end of Chimera Ant will be a giant mess of stuff that will eat budget like crazy. Fight, after fight after fight.

this part was also very short in the manga , i feel like they didn't spend time on this because they have more intresting stuff to spend time on.
They better do a great job on killua next battle
God, if the end of Chimera Ant turns into DBZ pacing, I'll be so sad. The show has killed it on pacing so far.
It's my personal rock bottom line. I must never cross it.
Unless someone buys me one.
Also got a leaflet advertising this years manga writing competition. This years theme is voyage of discovery. Apparently this year marks the 400th anniversary of the first British ship to arrive in Japan and 150 years since five samurai of the Choshu clan arrived to be the first Japanese students in Britain.
I wonder if they graduated with first degree honour.

I nearly spat out my drink during this scene. Has the scriptwriter ever actually seen the show itself? Because this comment is literally insane:
It's like the male equivalent of the "fat" anime schoolgirl who has perfectly normal proportions.

This is definitely a straight adaptation of the manga right down to the dialogue with little added scenes for jokes and what not. Doesn't mean it isn't as enjoyable and Liz appears this episode so lots of hnnnng is to be expected.
I do wonder where they plan to end this especially since this series is shorter than most one season series. I mean, the end of volume 6 wouldn't be a bad place to stop but not sure if they can get all the way there without cutting content since we only got 6 episodes left to cover four volumes.

You could watch Rozen Maiden, the director's new show.

This episode was better. Protag wasn't as annoying and being a wet blanket like earlier.

This show man. This damn show. So good. So much fun. Loved the exchange between Yasaburo and the Professor as he was coming to the party. And of course Benten with her schemes.

Or he could watch something good, like Dusk Maiden of Amnesia.
But Rozen Maiden is good.

Kou is the cutest author surrogate in recent memory. The story is moving in a predictable direction, but at least the production values are KyoAni through and through.

Preach it, brother.

Dusk Maiden is kind of ugly and Oonuma's direction can be obnoxiously gimmicky. I prefer Rozen Maiden.

Man, I forgot entirely that the last episode ended with a love confession. This episode was a good punchy mix of irl drama, flashbacks (Sentaro's past is interesting! I don't even remember watching an anime that really dealt with the American occupation before, but then my tastes aren't that wide, so that's probably it) and jazz. Although I can't say I loved the jazz this time around, story events interfering stopped the flow :<

lol, so true. When I saw that part, I was trying to twist the words in my mind to make some sense of it.

Okay good, I just remember you saying you didn't trust anyone saying it got better after the abysmal first episode.
I don't care what others say, I freaking love this show. It's so damn earnest and sweet. Also, those Jazz pieces are amazing. Sure, it has quite a few hiccups along the way, but I still feel like it's a really special show.

Post-apocalyptic feels everywhere, folks. We're talkin' like, a super awesome fight and feels and just things crumbling and dying and feels all over. After spending a good long minute checking out Ciel's ass, Zero reencounters Phantom, who, after overhearing Zero's identity from some random mooks, decides to avenge Master X and slay Zero. Ciel intercedes, saying that X is still alive out there. Meanwhile, Alouette and Dr. Cain wander the wasteland, and it is implied again that Alouette isn't just any robot.
The episode ends with Ciel telling Zero that protecting someone other than yourself makes you stronger, not weaker.

It's a decently put together show that didn't do much for me but I was mostly just messing with you.
Dusk Maiden is a show that knows it doesn't have the largest of budgets to work with but does the most of what it can with what it has and that's something I can definitely appreciate. I also found Oonuma Shin's directorial style to be very deliberate and very visually arresting at points though I can concede that others might not get the same out of it.

It's been a while since we had an old fashion Team Rocket plot.

She sorta is, yeah. I have love-hate for her. Like sometimes she's likeable and other times I couldn't tell if I was meant to hate her or I just plain hated her. I think she improves in the second half of the show, though.

The pacing of this is shit. Wait for the Vita game to come out next year, don't bother with this.

I wonder if it'd work as an anime. They'd need to do something to it or, alternatively, make it one of those 3 minute animes...

Why force myself through SAO more than once so soon after finishing it? Got people riding my butt to watch better things anyway.

That or a 15 minute anime.
She's neither, she's a manic pixie dream girl. Kind of.
We're talking about TTGL right?
