Wonderful post, my eyes glazed over by the third paragraph, just like how I fell asleep halfway through Aldnoah 1.

That may be accurate, but you neglect to mention that it's kind of mess that never comes together. I think if it had been a little more focused it would have been pretty great.
You need to give Pheonix a hug. GuP is pretty awesome.

I don't get this. You both get to watch good shows? What's the point in that!
an empty home screen to look at backgrounds?
I know, I know. A friend tries since 2 years to bring me to the show. I actually watched a couple of episodes, mostly relative serious arcs, but I feel so helpless against this massive stack of episodes.
That the correct thinking, god job Huggy!
I'm doing my best to get into the top posters, senpai!!
What intro? Do you mean the weird flashforward to the finale that took 1,2 episodes? I am still stumbled, that they made it so long. It felt forced to bring the Ga-Rei characters in.
I actually tried to google the riddle with the new combination to make a point. But you can't find the 2-4-3. Even if you give the exact words, every result is 4-2-3. Plus, if you know the answer to that famous one, you maybe just assume that the terrorists made a mistake or the police just forgot. They didn't have endless time, they knew the terrorists weren't all talk. So I say it's simpel a lack of specific knowledge, what I can't really blame the police for.
Will be interesting to see, how things changes when Breadmaster get's in a position of power.
GuP is awesome. You're avatar will hugging a tank before you know it.
The trick is that afterwards the number of good anime they have left to watch is reduced by 1.

You mean blender. The bunny blender.
Edit: On second thought, it's more like a mixer.

I prefer to operate this way. I still have to finish School Days for MIke's bet. I'm only halfway through episode 3 and I hate myself the more I watch of this.
You make it sound like I enjoy making people suffer.
I'm willing to forgive many things, and I knew going in that aldnoah would be a dumb show, but what I cannot forgive are best girls dying.
And best girls will die.
Or be marginalized, which is even worse, because they stick around as these totemic reminders of the unfairness inherent in anime, and life.
e: also the only show I'm really satisfied with this season is Nozaki-kun. Worried about Terror, feels like a wasted effort, talent adorning schlock. I guess we'll always have SAO2.

So basically we got punked with the prerelease promotional art that had all of the spunky military girls, right?
Urobutchi is no longer capable of writing anything genuinely surprising in-show so he's taken to deceiving prospective viewers about what's even going to be in the show in the first place. sasuga

Clearly there either hasn't been enough critical analysis of Mobil Suit Gundam or no one working on such shows has bothered to read them.
Only a Sith something something.
This season sucks but a bland and putrid looking recreation of Sailor Moon seems even more unappealing than most of its contemporaries.

So do you actually have a real problem with anything you've seen in Terror yet or is that just your general feeling based off of the material and where it's probably heading?

I have a fear that Urobuchi is well on the path to becoming the anime M. Night Shyamalan, only it's anime so that means he'll always be treated as a writing god no matter how bad his stories become.
They - or at least one of them - will show up in episode 3, so it's possible that they'll play a more prominent role once Kira Yamato gets his own special robot. Who knows.
Also are these actual track listings are you fucking kidding me
But it worked so well with Gundam SEED! I mean surely we can hit the pay load again!
Thank goodness Valvrave went bananas.
A troubling willingness to abandon plausibility for Story Purposes.

I have nothing interesting to say about this episode. It was just really boring. I almost fell asleep several times.
The close ups of girls' assets is getting really tiring. Anime, why you do this?

You know that it's already too late. Just his name is essentially a meme at this point.
Tokusatsu fans are loving Kamen Rider Gaim, but as the live action counterpart to Precure fandom I suspect that they may just be glad to have any kind of writing in their show whatsoever.
It looks like an assortment of ripper handles on Isohunt ca. 2005.

Well it is an adaptation of an eroge with animated sex scenes.

Fair enough. What is and what isn't plausibility obviously rests with the viewer so I have no intention to argue for Terror in this instance. I will say that, as a thriller about teenager terrorists, I never imagined it would be particularly plausible, but then again I don't quite get why Watanabe is making this show at all. I just know that he's making it extremely well.
Yeah, it's his way of admitting he's hax0rz. Play sad scene mp3 here now.
Thanks to A-0picturez for giving him all the works.

Wow. And I thought the tracklist for the Kill La Kill soundtrack was mostly nonsensical.
It was pretty good, yes. One of the few Visual Novels I actually played to the end without getting utterly bored in the endless pandering.
I just assume Sawano writes all of his track titles while drunk.

Saya no Uta seems like it would be 2Urobuchi4me.
To cut him a little slack, I think coming up with track titles would become incredibly tedious over time for television composers.

I commend his effort for going full pun.
Sawano already finds coming up with new tracks to be tedious so the titles themselves are the least of his concerns.
In light of this conversation, it seems fitting that the OP for Aldnoah Zero is yet another Kalafina copy-paste exercise.

Damn it, I was about to bring up Yuki Kajiura.
Watching Fate/Zero reminded me of how bored I have become with her music. If they are siblings or went to school together I wouldn't be surprised at all.And yet neither, as bad as both are, are in the same league as Yasuharu Takanashi.
Who would have ever expected that the CG wouldn't even be the worst thing about Usagi's transformation in Crystal?
Damn it, I was about to bring up Yuki Kajiura.
It's been quite a while since she's done anything as good as Le Portrait de Petit Cossette.
You're just jealous that despite liking anime they are a decent sized group of friends, outgoing, active and better break dancers than you.
Or Space Dandy OST 2.
