Just watch Xam'd instead, Corvo. At least then you get a little bit of a good show before it goes stupid.

God, I like the "This is no place for balls" line too much.

The moment I saw it I knew it had to be screencapped.

RKB SS 1
it seems like it's going to be more of the same.

Excellent.

Still more than a week before the internet stream on Nico.

 

[cnet128]

But I needed more E7 in my life!

This is the worst possible reason to watch AO.

Bleach 23 - 24

The initial introduction of the other captains is fun. Gin being on the spot, Hitsugaya there commenting, and Kenpachi there. Its so fun reliving these moments. Anyway, Im ready for D-Technolife to kick in instead of Asterisk.

 

[CorvoSol]

Terrible writing, but no, it's not offensive unless you think its existence tarnishes the original, or something.

Ah, well, I guess I'll see.

What's Xam'd?

This is the worst possible reason to watch AO.

But its right there in the title!

Eureka Seven Astral Ocean 1

This was not the sequel to E7 I was expecting. In fact, given the way that E7 set up, this is more of what I'd expect from a prequel. That said it is a very pretty show, and the first episode was decent enough to have me interested, even if it was a tad generic.

Ao is as obviously Eureka and Renton's son as it gets, though.

Do it. Ignore everybody else and just watch it. The show is a masterpiece.

 

[SDBurton]

Alright I'm not gonna lie, I've been replaying the hell out of that dubstep vid 7th posted yesterday. I can't get it out of my head. :lol

 

[sonicmj1]

Psycho-Pass S2? Maybe Yayoi won't be completely useless this time.

It can't be that bad, can it? I mean, worse than SAO, AGE, and 00? That's a bit much, even for me.

It's not worse than those shows. But those weren't attached to something you care about.

There's still time to turn back. We care about you. You don't have to do this.

Alright I'm not gonna lie, I've been replaying the hell out of that dubstep vid 7th posted yesterday. I can't get it out of my head. :lol

Quality of the song itself aside, it has far too little bass to be dubstep.

 

[cajunator]

But it's such a pretty show!

You make this sound like an intervention.

Glass Fleet 1

Terrible animation. Hilarious hats and facial hair. Is Michel a guy or a girl? YOU DECIDE.

It IS an intervention!

No. No.

Your screams of agony stopped being fun to read on SAO. Run away! RUN AWAY!!

I was moderately attached to Gundam before them. I guess it'd've been worse if I'd seen ZZ and G before AGE and 00. I've had good to wash away the bad.

It IS an intervention!

But I don't have a problem!

 

[cnet128]

Yeah, that's the long and short of it. (Well, I don't agree that SAO is worse than it, but that's because I like SAO.)

My recommended method of watching Eureka Seven AO: find a video of the second ED. Watch that. Then never watch anything related to the show ever again.

 

[Jarmel]

Now I don't know who to trust!

Trust me, after AO your urge of more E7 will be fulfilled.

 

[Narag]

Trust me, after AO your urge of more E7 will be fulfilled.

Make sure he doesn't forget the OVA!

mecha with Yoshida character designs about a boy who gets caught up with a group of eccentrics in an airship who house a mysterious girl who holds the key to ending a global conflict.

Might as well watch the movie too..

So what exactly makes Astral Ocean so bad?

If there's one thing that stands out to me as being, like, emblematic of the show's struggles re: writing, it's the fact that at one point they

Both AO and Pocketful of Rainbows are the Spiderman 3 of the Eureka7 universe.

So yes.

[sonicmj1]

A lot of things, but the most obvious is that

Spoiler

it uses both time travel and parallel universes at the same time

, which has to be the easiest way to make a stupid pointless clusterfuck of a plot.

 

[TheOddOne]

*whew* What a rush! Okay, details time...

Silver Spoon, TWGOK, Makai Ouji, and Uchoten Kazoku will all be true simulcasts, within a few hours of their TV airings. Watamote will have just over a half-day delay, and Kamisama no Inai Nichiyoubi will have a three delay.

*Mister Burns excellent*

 

[Dedication Through Light]

I think people had went in with too high expectations.

I thought it was mighty fine.

That is interesting, that is very interesting indeed that this show is worse then the original.

 

[cnet128]

*looks back over CorvoSol's posts about E7*

Renton was the only character I liked on Eureka Seven for a long, long while.

Holland's VA was awesome

Ahahahahahahaha please stop watching now if you want your memories to survive.

(Also it still amuses me how much you hated Eureka's kids. They weren't that bad.)

Genei wo Kakeru Taiyou Episode 1

Yeah this slayed

 

[sonicmj1]

Now I don't know who to trust!

Jarmel on whether E7: Ao's writer was the primary creative force for the original series:

Nope. Kyoda apparently did do some writing for the original but the main lifter was Dai Sato who was smart enough not to touch this abomination.

Enough said.

Nisio da gawd is back

But holy shit looking @ the key visual for s2 and the only members of #teamlonghair are Kissshot and Kanbaru! Damn you Nisio!

Anyway a well needed switch of POV for this arc, they really couldn't do another Tsubasa heavy arc from Koyomi's POV again, would've been really tired, and having a heavy dose of Senjouhara just tops it off.

And yet Origami is even worse at this than Tohka is.

She will literally kill you (or try to anyway since shes a fucking failure and cant do shit) for merely having a conversation with "her man".

So yes.

Come on, let's not compare Spider-Man 3 to shit like Eureka Seven AO. Regardless of your opinion on the film, it wasn't even in the same ballpark. At worst it was just a bad movie, rather than something so irredeemably awful that it ruined your entire life.

[JCG]

Jarmel on whether E7: Ao's writer was the primary creative force for the original series:

Actually, here's a small nitpick:

Kyoda was the series director of both Eureka 7 and E7 AO, not the writer. He also directed and wrote the movie.

But the underlying point, which is that none of the writers from E7 TV (Dai Sato included) came back, is right.

If It was my desk it would have been a figure of Otoya or Tokiya, or both...I hope Free! gets some.

Can't tell you my sources, but i can assure you that Free figures are already considered by most big if not all manufacturers..

Now the question is how many will get past the pre-production .

 

[madp]

why is there a baby

Everybody thought that it was the reincarnation of another dead character.

And then when that character turned out to be alive, everyone thought that it would magically mature into a teenager and become Cure Ace.

And now that Cure Ace is here, it was just a fucking shitty mascot all along
