See I heard from someone that he was in some type of field that used heavy science. Though I could be wrong about him being an engineer.

Shounen Hollywood Episode 2
The ed must be themed for each episode as it wasnt the puppetshow thing anymore but instead a really nice one themed around the shoes of the episode. I like how the anime isnt just another dancing singing idol show but more of an inspirational type one of finding what one must do, the right or wrong path in life, and how to make the most of things. The presidents past needs to be detailed but with the advice he gives it may not be necessary.
The part about the friends though made me tear up. How he didnt want to crush their happniess by showing them the shoes but was happy for them seemingly as well as for himself.

Wasn't the log horizon writer an engineer or an economics major?

Well... Managed to do another watchbet...
Kill la Kill 01
Action-packed first episode with some comedy too. Not like anything I've watched before I think.
The subtitles are all messed up on Netflix though (screenshot from Crunchyroll). Got those left justified ones Femmeworth was talking about and they only show 1 subtitle/translation at a time so whenever there's some translated text popping up the subtitle disappears too fast.

SAO Phantom Bullet Episode 2
This episode was enjoyable due to having some Shinon action, which was great. It was nice seeing some gun action and a bit of the mechanics. Yeah I got to side with the people saying some of the dialogue being iffy. Aside from the little tentacle scene the episode wasn't bad and the ending was good.

Barakamon 2
Continues to be a light hearted fun show. This episode was a bit slower and covered several chapters whilst introducing new characters. It may not sound exciting but the characters really are loveable especially Naru.
Still the best show of the season.

Nice post for episode 2.
Yea I had an issue with this. It does feel too over the top but then again, this is a society that set up a world war seemingly for kicks. They really don't view the Terrans as anything other than a minor road bump. I think though that Mr. Rat Crusher is more of an exception in that the other commanders seem more level headed even if they're condescending as fuck:
The other Martians really don't seem to be enjoying this, in a bloodthirsty manner, but find it somewhat boring. It's only Mr. Nezumi Crusher that seems to get off on it.
That's actually a pretty normal thing. How many sports teams say they pray to God after all! People pretty often only look at their side and don't take into account that the other side worked/planned just as hard.
Well again this might tie into the time dilation thing in that it's possible 15 years ago the Martians were much closer to being equal to the Terrans in technology but they had a massive jump in the past few years.
Well I would say that they knew of the attacks and landings but didn't have a firm grasp of the damage. Usually in catastrophic or largescale events like that, it takes time for people to understand how much damage has been done and if there were communication issues then that compounds it. With 9/11(hot topic of the week I guess) it took hours for people to figure out what happened and that was a rather small scale event compared to what happened in the show. People might know that a few cities have gotten wrecked or bombed but it seems like they don't know that those cities got 'nuked' instead. The next few lines right after your screencap confirms this:

I dont think they could do that since Haruka is getting the No Head Dragon information in that one scene, suggesting we still need to address that plot point.

Glasslip 2
A much more interesting episode than the first. Surprised that they are moving to confessing already. I also still don't get why Yuki and that other girl live together. Is it a dorm?
Aldanoah Zero 2
Loved it. Probably the most interesting show this season.
Sword Art Online II
Way better than the first episode cause of the action.
Mahouka 15
Yukina finding out that Erika also has a brother complex = gold.

I sort of figure the match would only take up half the episode then we get to that part in the 2nd half. I guess that would be rushing it.
Tell me one thing.
Is Crimson Prince going to help Tatsuya go after the gambling organization?

That's pretty cool box art.
Think the manga did the same thing with the spines, just with characters.
Stickers on the box is the worst. Pretty cool otherwise though.
I bought the same 3 because they were on sale for like $15 each. I'm waiting for the other seasons to drop in price.

I'm equally unhappy with all these guys acting the way they do because I don't buy their attitude for a people who have been around for literally 40ish years.
And even, why do we have to accept a stupid cartoon character in this universe when other's are more reasonable?
There's a lot of assumptions to swallow here. At present I simply can't buy the timescale put forward by the series.
What's their to grasp? The image in the news report is a literal mushroom cloud over a major metropolitan area. The reporter says major cities were all attached at once so you could assume probably millions dead if they all looked like that.
Moreover, even without further information, we're talking about an invasion of Earth by the Martians. The last time they attacked half the planet was destroyed and (presumably) billions of people were killed by the debris from he moon. This something that everyone either experienced first hand or learnt about at school. I would say that you should PANIC.
The VHS tapes did the image stuff too! (i'm missing the one that completes Babadi's face so here's a pic with a partial Buu.)
I hate them too, but thankfully it's just on the slips.
Yup! The girl there asked me if I wanted the others but I told her I was just going to wait for more sales. Not that $25 for 4-6 is bad, but the $15-$18 each is just better.

Barakamon Episode 2
This show probably has my favorite cast this season, everyone is so fun and charming, naru is so great
They really nailed Naru's character especially with stuff like her animation and voice. Barakamon really is one of those feel good anime's.
It was but I think its good. They covered like 3 chapters in this episode.
Hope this continues. Love these visual comparisons.
you always watchbet some pretty good shows.
Liz is in it? Watching it for sure. You probably mean she pops in for 5 seconds but Ill take that risk.
Was the sound of the music much louder than the voices, in Tokyo ESP episode 1, for anyone else?
Also, I don't know how I like the adaptation. They're acting like it's a Ga-Rei sequel when it's not. The two worlds haven't shown a connection in the manga. (Correct me if I'm wrong.) This has a very serious tone so far, and the manga has more of a comedic tone. These things don't even have to do with time compression issues as this is getting 12 episodes.
I feel like we're going down the Zetman route with the adaptation...
I will say that I like the animation and music.

I think that's plenty for the first main arc.

Aldnoah Zero 02
Unlike some viewers here, it never bothered me much that the Martian colonists had developed this arrogant attitude in such a short amount of time. "Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely." But even though I knew that last week, it's only after this episode that I felt I really understood it.
Felt more like early Attack on Titan than anything else. Our hero had better stumble upon the super prototype Aldnoah soon or else this anime is gonna be real short.

There's also Mirage Bat that hasn't been played yet for the official division. I'm guessing 2-3 episodes.
Really enjoying Barakamon. I thought the plot was a bit too dispersed this time but I enjoyed nonetheless, I see from the posts above that it covers various chapters of the manga so that explains it I guess. The characters are really enjoyable and I'm happy that the show has plenty of them to explore and isn't only about MC and Naru. Definitely going in the right direction; I'm a sucker for feel good shows with MCs acting as parental figures. Fully on board this one.

ONII-SAMA the Animation 15
Is that some Lotus Juice I hear?
Good episode because you get to see Onii-sama beat some ass.

Well wherever the main cast is on Earth, they're relatively detached, in a physical sense, from all the violence until Mr. Nezumi Crusher shows up. We don't know what the outskirts of New Orleans looks like and if people are freaking out there. There was also a minor time skip in that we're seeing the tail-end of the evacuations so there has been some time for things to settle in peoples' minds.
People knew the Martians were coming for awhile, as seen by the evacuations at the end of the last episode, and they probably knew it was going to be bad.
Yeah it's a small part.

I feel the need to inform you all that Terror in Tokyo is the better title to Terror in Resonance, as well as the official title in Japan.

TIT.
And at the end of the day, isn't that why we're all here?

I expected Onii-sama vs Prince NOT Suzaku this week and not Onii-sama vs lvl 1 grunts. Next week Onii-sama will surely assurt his dominance.

It is. He's been in the OST since the beginning but the track was never as clear as before to be able to tell.

Probably one of the better episodes of the series. The action was nice. Shinon was about as interesting as Kirito but at least she is better to look at. And then a reminder of why this show is called SAO with some tentacles.

So you're really trying to push the argument that because they knew it was coming that of course nobody in the general populace would panic? Their entire planet is about to get wrecked again why would you not panic regardless?
