It's safe to say it's kinda ugly and likely to stay that way.

Alright let's do this!
True enough, but this is the arc where the drama club plays a much bigger role. The drama club has now become priority.
:3
Not exactly Papa Okazaki's shinning moment.
<3 Akio.
Not exactly the most surprising thing but a needed change for Tomoya.
Glad you noticed. Really as they go on with the series they do a series of subtle things to make the show better and better looking.
Kyou is just odd. Although I find most tsunderes odd.
Soooo good.
Trust me, I think that's the only time you see that group of kids. It's to show how polar opposite the Okazaki and Furukawa households are. Okazaki's house is lonely, dark, cold and depressing while the Furukawa's are fun, lively and happy.
You can already see how Tomoya will use to his advantage.
In time...
Definitely. You're almost at the end of the first season.
Which means I need to be faster about beating FFV.
My brother told me this movie was good the other day and I totally didn't believe him. Didn't help that he said it was the only Transformers movie he saw, so there was no point of comparison lol
There's no Shia in this movie right? That would make me more receptive to it (Nothing against the actor really, but the cast of human characters were painful).
Girls und Panzar Episode 1-2
Starting off, I never picked up on this show before for some reason, but thanks to Phoenix I'm a bit glad I did now. This whole show is adorable lol. It really is about girls driving tanks in school and using them for a battle as a sort of a sport. I'm gonna keep watching it through since I made a watch bet (though we both picked good anime) Can't wait to see some of a tank battles and watch as the girls fumble around adorably while learning about tanks :3. Also the show stays like this later on with just more action correct? I'm glad about their not being much fanservice still here. (I don't mind fan service, just don't like when it's overdone). Still thought the end of the first episode was hilarious when they do that zoom out at the end on the aircraft carrier and I'm was just all "WTF?"
Moe tanks ahoy!

Sola 05
Now Mayuko is in the trash can...
Both a spy and a creature hunter breaks into Yoritos house, and both Yorito and Matsuri gets hurt. More people find out about Matsuris existence too.

I know it looks bad sometimes but it still consistently has better animation than everything else they do

Do not worry , Girl & panzer doesn't have fanservice other than Tankery fanservice and trivia.
No panthy shot , no stupidity-gags even when they could have done it.
It's a perfect anime in that regard.
Sailor Moon Crystal 02
God this show is so gross looking, the character models all look awkward, ugly cgi and still frames everywhere, it's pretty embarrassing especially since both Illya and Happiness Charge are airing right now. At least Best Girl Mercury made it a bit better, hopefully Second Best Girl Jupiter and Third Best Girl Mars can keep it up.
its ugly but passable. Ive only seen one episode though. So Ami showed up in the second episode? Wow this show is blazing through chapters.
Yeah but at least Shinon shows up fairly often to make it better. I can deal with it then.
I wouldnt mjnx how stupid SAO was if my favorite characters in it were treated better than window dressing.

It got Mark Wahlberg instead of Shia. None of the human characters from the previous movies are left actually.
Yes. And the tank battles are fun.
...It's two chapters in two episodes.

Aldnoah Zero Episode 3
That was a great episode. It was nice in the way they defeated the Mech was logical instead of an asspull. I wanna say Inaho and Inko are gonna be shipped together but I feel there's gonna be a death flag on Inko. That princess transformation was nice. And man did Slaine man up, didn't even think twice. Visually this show looks really stunning.

Glad you're liking it so far. By the end the girls are there in the background and the tanks are the main characters. Panzer vor!

Shia is one of reasons why the last Indiana Jones movie wasn't great, good thing he wasn't in this Transformers Movie.

Fresh consistently looked bad.
I mean hell. We have this beauty
Yep some precure seasons were very bad
( max heart , suite , fresh , YES! ,YES Gogo ) were the worst offenders.

Jinsei - 02
You were right. Guess I'll stick it out. Still hit or miss but I'll take it.
Barakamon - 03
Not enough Naru.
Persona 4 - The Golden Animation - 02
HNNNNNG Hanazawa Kana. Not quite as much swag this episode. I liked the ED and its animation.
Yama no Susume - 02
Love the OP and its animation. Lolol, hiding an entire mountain from view.
---
A friend of mine told me that SAO still fucking didn't get to the scene I've been waiting for and that Kirito barely enters the game at the end of episode 3 so I said fuck it and am not watching it until episode 4 is out as well.
This arc is short, but I guess they're gonna milk the fuck out of it to get 12 episodes or so for this arc.

Aldnoah Zero episode 3
I really like the pacing of the past couple episodes. It's brisk but never rushed. Lots of momentum. Seeing the bright orange mechs in broad daylight made them look worse than the other terran mechs in the last episode, distractingly so. But the action was smart and Inaho is a pretty good lead. Mars Magical Girl Princess was awesome. The music when the action kicks off felt a little weird, but didn't bother me much.
I was totally ready for the typical "highschool kids beats huge mech using strong feelings and tons of luck/coincidence", but I was pleasantly surprised.
This is personal but I really love the design of the world. The characters, costumes, ships, etc. The color palate is really grounded with the mechs providing the vibrant accents.
Fanservice is moderate to low, unless you count the camping OVA.
That zoom at the end of the episode revealing a city-sized aircraft carrier was when I realized I HAD to keep watching this show. It's the kind of dumb I am totally behind and willing to support.
Get ready for awesome tank action!
That's really good news actually. I just watched the trailer for the new Transformers movie and I might actually check it out. "Mark Wahlberg and his inappropriately dressed teenage daughter will CHANGE THE WORLD." It's still Michael Bay alright. DINOSAURS THO.

If there's a particular post you have problems with, it makes communication much clearer if you respond to the post in question. You might be trying to spare the feelings of others, but when you're unclear, misunderstandings can arise which cause more problems.

Don't get too hyped for dinobots, cause they're not in the movie for that long.
Another bonus drawing, since I just scanned it in:
NUUUUUIIIIIII
Drawing KLK lately made me really appreciate the simplicity of Sushio's drawings.
Damn.

It's not.
Without misunderstandings, we wouldn't have anime though.

The first 6 episodes were pretty awful, but I can't speak to if it gets any better after that.

This is depressing.
I feel like I dropped the show right when it was going to get interesting. But that's how I felt about every M3 episode lol. "Next episode will be the crazy good one!"
My only regret is there was no hand wringing in that sequence.
crunchyroll streaming quality is pretty terrible and it freezes a lot.
Not where I live. The bandwidth is uncapped and gigabit speeds are available pretty cheap. But its not the norm.

Aren't those like less than 20 seconds though? Like literally throwaway material
No, they're a few minutes of conversation.

I don't think it's bad. It's certainly better than the post-ep14 train-wreck of season one.
Excellent.

I don't recall it being that long.
I am going to have to admit it finally, I am really enjoying this show now, It's as guilty a pleasure as Code Geass was. The pure absurdities in it are funny and dammit I also hate to admit it but I now look forward to it each week. Stupid Oniisan....I admire your OPness so much...

They're pretty long, but they're not really fanservicey either. Well... I mean, it's just your standard ofuro scene with no real fanservice shots. I think. I can't remember.

Hey at least the episode was great.
I never watched or read it, but I somehow came across some anime blog that talked about the ending of the manga so I was spoiled. Knowing what happens makes me kinda apprehensive about checking out the anime, though everyone says it's good T_T
One day I'll just suck it up and watch it.

They're just sitting in the water talking. There is no zoom ins or emphasis on anything. If there was I don't think I'd be watching anime right now.

I sensed it going far down the Okada rabbit hole and stopped watching it to preserve my sanity.

I think I found one that was under 40 seconds, but that doesn't sound pretty long to me.
