I've only watched 2 episodes, but Gamers is surprisingly watchable. It should be terrible in concept, but the execution is top notch so far.
This looks even crazier than the still images I have seen before. Holy shit, KyoAni is pulling out all the fucking stops, whoo!
It was only a second, but that other older lady looked pretty awesome.

Made In Abyss 6
Question 2: Is Marulk a girl or not?
Ozen should be a design I'd really like on paper, but she's just too creepy. The tone of her voice, her mannerisms, even her haircut. And she doesn't have tact, telling a child that her journey is meaningless and her mother died, that's brutal.
Question 1: What is Ougi doing in this anime?

I still like her.
Desu desu.
When Amano tried to fix the misunderstanding with Aguri when he talked with Chiaki... I was dumbfounded. This anime is stupid but in a superb way.

I see ANN is still down. They really hacked them hard.
ANN.cc works, though. Looks like they lost access to their hostname and haven't been able to get it back yet.
I have no idea what Shobitch is. Is that even a word?
Just use (dot) cc for now. At least they got the @AnimeNewsNet account back up working and linking to the new domain.

Made in Abyss - 06
That creature sure looks like a humanoid torso.
On the one hand, I enjoyed the episode, on the other hand, the pacing is really slow and the progress we've made at the half point of this show is sobering.
Oh and that cliffhanger felt a bit weird, given that I've no idea what that thing is about. It's important, figures, but if I don't know why it's not particularly exciting.

That's so several pages ago. And you even replied to comments about it
You know, sometimes I wish their official Twitter account updated faster. Fuckin' shit, I need more coffee...
I'm not really sure I get complaints about Made in Abyss's pacing. It isn't blistering by any means but I don't get the sense that they've really wasted any time -- most of it is spent developing the world and characters. I'm in no hurry for them to hit plot points because most of my enjoyment for the show comes from the world they're developing and not the plot itself (which is fairly standard). I don't really expect them to resolve anything by the time the show is over tbh (the manga is still ongoing iirc).

I think the complaints are coming from the place of wanting to see the anime resolve the whole story, or at least a lot of it, by the time it finishes. I can understand that desire. Personally I'm happy with a slower pace, though, as long as the atmosphere is strong enough to justify that. I'd much rather than that the adaptations we sometimes see that try to compress a bunch of manga material into a short timeframe. That kind of adaptation may have a complete story in terms of reaching a conclusive ending, but they also end up feeling on such fast-forward all the time that no event is able to have any real impact.

It's just that I may as well better ignore that sort of mystery series if I only get a short anime appetizer and that's that. I can dive into the manga, which won't be finished either, or wait and hope for further seasons, which might take some years.

What I find engaging about Made in Abyss is more the experience of being in the world it presents than looking for the answer to what's at the bottom of the abyss and similar questions. That's why I'm not as bothered as you are by the unlikelihood of reaching anything approaching answers during these 13 episodes.

Or you can't stop laughing because of the overly melodramatic nonsense the shows is pulling out.
Ending song is great though.

One way or another, yes.
I was emotionally devasted to find out melodrama of this magnitude exists.
slight exaggeration
This is directed by the same guy who did Toradora, right?

Its so beautiful that you will cry.
Plastic Memories is probably better under that category.

It depends on the type of person you are and if you like shows that are like it. I had a tear or two roll down my face by the end.
That's...quite definitive. Lol.
Hmmm... Looking back... I had a lump in my through throughout the later half of Anohana, whereas Plastic Memories started to hit me a lot in the last three episodes. It's hard to compare. Plastic Memories I probably got more emotional about and Anohana I was more evenly emotional throughout.
This man has got taste. Your Lie in April and Key anime are the best at it and making it feel earned.
LMAO

You don't accept other opinions but you destroy them. After all you know that you are right so why do other people trying so hard to be wrong?
