Man, these first two eps have been such a great opener for a show in this genre. Setting, stakes, and characters all established without treating the viewer like an idiot. Guess it's probably apples to oranges but it really stands out after all the Aldnoah Zero talk in here.

That's just how low a bar SAO had set previously. can't be helped.
What's the rule again?

Look at this dapper as fuck character that isn't even important.
Also dat reveal on who Lala's partner is. I certainly didn't see that one coming.

Aldnoah Zero 2
A bit late to this but things I learned with this ep:
-The bad guys (except the one loyal to the princess, and who knows if he will turn coat eventually) are eeeeevil. What's the deal with evil guys and this season. Tokyo ESP, Tokyo Ghoul, Aldnoah Zero...
-The series is predictable.
+Predictably the terrorists were
Predictably the bad guy
Predictably
-The Martians mechs are OP, there is no way to fight against them. Or humans have a secret weapon still not shown or they will capture a Martian mech or Slate will switch sides with one.
-The CG is ugly. In other series I didn't mind it a lot, but here it's especially jarring, they aren't trying to hide the 3dness.
So the series is starting to fail in the second episode. Am I supposed to feel anything AT ALL

martians acting from orders of the most military minded parts of their army, and of course the were evidence to be eliminated.
leaves one person to escape with the knowledge of truth so maybe that will be their downfall down the road.
the princess is alive and one of the plot threads of the story will be her trying to reach fellow Martians and stop the war. And eventually learn the attack against her was an inside job I imagine.

Mikorin is the most adorable tsundere of the season.

Sounds like "exceptions" that disprove this so-called "rule" to me.

Haha, I've been listing to a mash-up of this OP for a long time, yet didn't even realize.
Thank you based nakinyko
Somehow I renamed the music file so that's why I didn't know. On to the first episode now. Lets say it was kind of boring. The characters also seem to suffer from hardcore droopy face/football head syndrome at times.Whatever you may call it. It's not appealing to me. Guess I just got to keep watching, but I don't know if this show is going to click for me.

I see everyone met best girl, Seo.
She only gets better as it goes. Especially when her romantic interest gets introduced.
The manga only gets better as it goes on, so the show will be the same.
The Seo + Nozaki thing was incredibly well done.

That's every season though, especially with the signal to noise ratio being all out of whack due to the amount of shit put out every cour.

This has to be one of the best seasons in a loong time at least for me. I can't remember the last time I've followed so many shows in one season.

I'm an awful judge of how good seasons are because I tend to watch a lot of shows.

S1 is a serviceable SOL show with some fun characters and a dangerously low budget. S2 and beyond are remarkably better shows with their strong direction and better production values, so don't be that person who doesn't continue on!

I'm enjoying Summer so far, but at the same time, it's like now I have less time to play games. Not that it matters when I can't work up the urge to play games.
So much hate. There are stronger and weaker seasons, but I have yet to fine one that didn't entertain me.
You're certainly dedicated. Can't beat you there.

Yeah, I'm loving Summer. Haven't watched this many shows in ages.
Also, I've said it like a billion times, but this season is fucking bringing it for OPs and EDs.

You know despite kinda disappointed with Spring, I don't seeing anything from this season that could be better than Ping Pong or Mushishi either, the other top hitter such like Haikyuu and Sidonia also didn't disappoint me its just lacking middle ground option that making it top heavy, this season is like the opposite.. there's more solid title all around.
The car isn't being kicked around or moved after the initial kick from the mech. It comes to a stop after the car has a sideways line of sight with the battle taking place. There is no establishing shot inside the car to show where Inaho is. In fact, we don't see him till class rep starts the car so chances are high that he's in the far back near the window.
The shot you posted isn't a full depiction of the back area. There are two windows on each side and only one is shown, in fact it's the back window which would have been the optimal viewing position.
That's because he moves from the back part of the carrying area up to the front. He's not in this shot because he's still moving forward. Both him and his friend come into the forward section in the quick transition, in fact his blonde friend is still moving forward, so Inaho was ahead of him.
Yea, someone fucked up the inside, as the shape of the window is different in the two shots.
The first image matches the CGI of the car while the second doesn't.
Still you can just say that he saw the earlier part of the fight, deduced the abilities and was looking out the window to see if the mech was still chasing them. So yes he wouldn't have been able to see the streetlights but that doesn't disavow him deducing the ability from earlier.
The window does exist but yea he would have been only able to see the very top of the mech.

Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun Episode 2 Say Hello to the New Heroine
Second half was weak, though what song was she singing?
Mikorin was great, especially all of the first half mostly especially the drawing moments and all the Mikorin one liners that are perfect. He embodies lots of the traits I love in characters. One can't really get better than that. '

Lmao. I just pictured this happening.
Season 2 is where the show really comes into its own. It had rough beginnings.
Still very cute though!
Either her or Sakura. I cant decide really.
I love stupid hilarious shows like this. It does remind me of Binbougami Ga's MC a bit. She's a jerk but likeable. Sometimes Sakura could be downright horrible.
Oh it gets dumber!
It is playing out as if the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants from the X-Men series got their own anime spin-off so far.
May have to give it a go then.
Mine as well. for better or worse Shinon makes this bitter pill easier to swallow.

Good god this show is so awesome, Sonokawa might be my favorite lead this season
That scene reminds me of Love Lab where she was whacking her with the paper roll
We love ya mikey
so wrongo Shardy
Okay, a bunch of evil psychics who have been oppressed have taken over Tokyo and it is up to this White Haired lady and her two assistants to free the city. At least this is the premise of the first episode.
Well, then I have to go there fast
Anime is confused. They just skipped to the great battle.
They started with an entire episode dedicated to the climax of the first arc and introduced Rinko at the last minute. Next episode will be from chapter 1 onwards.

Ok finally toughed this one out. Not a big fan of the two reset arcs in the show so hopefully it can get back to normal from here on. Still wish they had found a different villain for this arc though as so much of my irritation stems from her reappearing after her great exist in SuperS.
At least Junichi Sato was the director to class this one up. No one captures inner turmoil quite so well in this series.
