Yeah, it's not like plotarmor needs the blessing. It would be funny to have someone like Anna from Shaman King who doesen't give a shit about bad news because she trusts Yoh. She certainly don't pray - which is ironic since she is a shrine priestress if my memory isn't spotty.

She's praying to Onii-sama to save her dumb ass from Kirito. It's justified too.
Yeah the ending music choices in Part1/2 and 3 with Roundabout and WLaE are some top class choices for EDs. Especially with how much they were able to remix and switch up Roundabout at times was really cool.

Really glad that so many were talking up this show before it aired. It's so extremely charming and lively that it quickly won me over. The comedic timing is good and never overbearing or slight. The lighting and color work of the island give it a pleasant atmosphere. Some of the local's country dialect added to that sense of place as well.
I just came away from it really, really impressed. The OP/ED are awesome too.

Still waiting for Sugu. Anything. One passing scene.

Would be weird for spiritual anime folks to be praying... But then orihime was all 'kurasaki-kun' while praying for the whole fucking Hueco mundo arc.

For a long time this show got into a bit of a defensive posture where it was more concerned about avoiding pitfalls and not sucking outright than it was hitting high notes. Today marked a shift in that pattern as it was on point in all respects.
Given how much of it was about Iona being a cheapskate, maybe Toei was admitting a mea culpa?

Yep, I've done it before. Was pretty simple.
Awesome, thanks for the response.
I'll place my order now! Need that Moon Prism Power coin!

but but but, you must watch to the end so you can see Akane become a badass.
There's a timeline on the official site which sheds more details on the setting. It definitely answers the first question, but it'll probably be explained in more detail on the show itself eventually too.
Mars was not originally in direct conflict with Earth. The first emperor of Mars - Rayregalia, was originally one of the first scientists sent to investigate the planet following the discovery of the Hypergate on the moon, and one of the founding colonists. When he ruled Mars, there was only a cold war with Earth, and what Mars wanted was independence. Later on he got old and ill, and his son took over as emperor. That was what triggered the direct invasion of Earth in 1999, and they fucked up with the Hypergate and destroyed the moon, causing Heaven's Fall. The son was killed in the conflict, and rule reverted back to the elderly Rayregalia. There was a cease-fire treaty arranged shortly after, and things have been at an uneasy standstill since then.
Since Rayregalia only turned again Earth and fought for independence after some sort of discovery, and this looks like a fairly traditional sort of scifi story, I think we can surmise that he found something regarding the Aldnoah which he felt he had to keep away from Earth and attempt to guard it himself. He probably doesn't actually want war, but in trying to protect the secret he ended up arming a whole bunch of crazy people who have developed racist ideologies over the decades and are more than happy to wipe Earth out if no one stops them. Lol.

It really gives the show a somewhat authentic feel to it (in addition to having real kid VAs.)
Welcome back Hito!

Nafe is a cheapsake, but it paid off because this has been the first episode in a long time that has looked fantastic. Nice to know madp has an army of mini-madps inside him
The episode was mostly the bonding of madp and Nafe, and as such, both Hito and I are barely here at all. Which means that since I'm not there, we might actually get an episode where I don't yell about my rice fetish!
TOO BAD! I'M SNEAKY AS FUCK!
But seriously, best episode in a while. I look forward to Nafe's dorkiness play out some more.
NEXT TIME: Remember when romance was a thing? It's baaaaack

Yea that's what's been throwing me off. I mean damn they haven't been on Mars that long and suddenly everyone up there is like "Hey Earth won't give us Independence let's genocide them!"
Jojo Stardust Crusaders 1-3 Dub
Not sure how I feel about Mohammed's voice and the line about Holly's Japanese in episode 1 needed to be changed but otherwise this was an excellent dub. Toonami when?
Yeah that REALLY stood out to me but I've never read the source material and I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt that they explain it later in a way that makes sense before going off on the scenario/writer.

who the fuck would play an mmo that rebalances shit without a free stat reset? Thats retarded.
Well i guess only suckers would be playing this anyhow
Did asuna age a bunch compare to kirito? Dude is fucking tom cruise. everything makes sense.
death gun lol.
props on the call out of you can pretty much learn about programming and what not from forums. heck you can figure out 90% of shit from stackoverflow for coding problems.
dont get why this dude doesn't just FCC or w/e japan has against apple.
The whole we got servers everywhere is pretty flaky shit. Heck im pretty sure intelligence agencies have 'pro gamers' in WoW and what not. No clue why they need to ask kirito.
And by the ending... kirito is gonna go all jedi?
gal gun looks pretty amazing.

Too boring and not crazy about the setting. Will need to see where this goes before making an assessment, so 3 episode rule I guess.

Wait Aldnoah Zero has Sawano composing?
Well initially I was put off by the news of CG mechs but I guess I could give it a try.

Right? It sucked to see him leave in the first episode. I hope he makes some more appearances.

So I have an idea for an anime.
All tsundere cast. Even the male lead. Even the mother. Even the sister.

It's from the OP when Sailor Mars does her attack, it's a classic case of a really bad frame mixed in with really fast action. In motion you'd never notice it but when slowed down or paused it's clear as day
is the male lead related by blood to the mother and sister?

Is this an incest anime or an incest hentai?

You wouldn't know because each time somebody asks them, they go all tsun tsun
Doremi and Kotake are pretty tsun for each other.
umm... okay
Needs more yandere.
It scares me. I'll be seeing this in my nightmares.
