I always assumed it was americans getting ridiculous anime grimdark right, and making ninja badasses again. Instead of Naruto.

Did anyone else here grab Mockingbird's posters? I finally picked up a portfolio so I could actually take them out of the tube and they look great in person. The Kiki one really pops in person because of the red.

So my summer anime list so far is from best to worst based upon just one episode
Space Dandy S2
Akame Ga Kill
Sailor Moon Crystal
SAO S2
Argevollen
Aldnoah Zero
To check out
Psycho Pass New Edition (never saw the original)
Tokyo ESP (looks interesting)
Zankyou no terror (looks interesting, plus it's Wantabe)
Spring carry overs
Stardust Crusaders
Majin Bone
Irregular At Magic High
Captain Earth
Dropped
DRAMAtical murder
Probably good but not interested in
Nozaki Kun (don't care about romance/comedy/harem shit regardless of how good it is)
Persona 4 Anime (haven't played the game, will probably check out once I do)
Harem/romance/comedy/slice of life is generally the most boring combination of genres every, I'll watch the occasional one like Silver Spoon or Usagi Drop but 90% of the time I'd rather watch a shitty action/shonen series over a decent-good harem/romance/comedy/sol.

Thats gorgeous wow.
They sort of did. <-- EP1 spoiler
I doubt she's actually dead though. More than likely a double, which I hope.
But her handmaid wasn't there either. Well, it's obviously a plotted assassination by the Knights, most likely the Count. Needed an excuse to kill humans.
Thanks. I wonder if they're going to discuss the power imbalance between the countries. It would seem that Russia or China would be the only superpower with so much of the US being wiped out.

GAF, hold me. I don't know how I forgot that Yama no Susume season 2 was airing this season, and the episodes are FIFTEEN GODDAMN MINUTES LONG compared to season 1's THREE minute episodes.
I thought I was going to have a severe lack of Iyashikei this season but then Barakamon ended up being awesome and I already know I can count on Yama no Susume. I hope Hanayamata also ends up being good. Then I'll actually have more Iyashikei in a season than I think I've ever had before.

Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-Kun 1
Yesssss they didn't fuck it upppppppppppppppp
Glorious OP, okay ED
Voices are excellent. I think the visuals are really impressive actually, especially the backgrounds. There's pretty much no animation for bg crowds and stuff but it seems to work pretty well anyway just because of the composition of scenes.

It is difficult to even begin to describe just how stupid this map is.
Well, ninja in Naruto are... let's be nice and say "very much their own thing". The series gets quite a lot of criticism regarding that from Japan itself as well. ^^;
You cant embed images? What kind of phone?
iPhone.
Wha?

Wow my state looks like its been destroyed on that map :/, actually much of the east coast even.
No clue. It's probably user error on my part.
Louisianas still there baby!

does Japan just like taking America out of the equation so there's reasoning as to why everything is happening in Japan?

Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun has excellent source material to work with, but the pacing of the episode really bothered me. Too much build-up for the jokes, I think, though some of the jokes were really good (like the shoujo manga situation with a four-seat bicycle).
Hope they nail the comedic timing better in the next episodes! I love Tsubaki's work.

lol that image.
You mean the second time they did the joke? HILARIOUS.
I'm not someone capable of explaining it in-depth anyways. Basically there's no acknowledgement of topography. Some asshole just carved out slices of a poorly traced map to make the world seem war torn. Some of the world's largest mountain ranges have been completely wiped off the map, and such large chunks of land mass have been erased that the possibility of the sea level remaining consistent throughout the rest of the world is pretty laughable. Certain pieces of landmass that carry extremely high elevation are completely missing but lowlands closer to the ocean are still in tact. If the missing points are just residual damage from attacks the target locations are pretty nonsensical, unless Martians simply have an unquenchable and irrational hatred for Australians.
woah dude, how could i ever stand to tear down the rich tapestry of aldnoah lore?
Well at least you're not in Ohio anymore.

Agreed with your speculation. I'd honestly be more surprised if that didn't end up being the case.
I still might survive. Im on the other side of the state hehee.

I expect in this anime, Japan is mysteriously in charge!
Ohio is for lovers.
I read the manga so I know all the jokes beforehand anyway, so...
Initially just assumed high population centers were nailed, Australia joke you made had me realize it might just be a nod to Gundam's colony drop on Australia since they want this whole Gundam vibe.
It's really hard to assess the damage in a realistic frame without knowing if debris from the moon crashed into the Earth.
Nobody cares about Australia lol
If you were targeting densely populated areas you would attack India, Europe, China, or Japan.
Nah it was definitely Asuna.

So what you're saying is that the image would not be possible in the real world... but how is it stupid in context of a science fiction alternate reality anime where inner stellar flight is possible and mech suits are things that people use to fight wars with. It's called fiction for a reason, of course such a world map wouldn't be possible in the real world, nothing in the series is possible in the real world. You're looking waaaaaaay too in depth on something that really shouldn't be
