Because White Fox is a cheap animation studio.
haha wow, and here i was thinking it was some kind of stylistic choice.

Reading all these impressions makes me giddy for this week's watch.

Kinda wish I didnt see like 1/2 of the shows so I can experience it with some of you guys, I really do love darker than black and I really liked jojo and im awaiting the 2nd season with baited breath.
I'm with GNM on Fate/Zero. Why we couldn't have been given all the information in a combination of flashbacks over the course of the series and a short narration at the opening of the show is beyond me. It's like if One Piece, Naruto or Bleach spent the first two episodes just explaining how the world worked and character motivation in excruciating detail in the driest way imaginable.

If fate/zero ever comes to Toonami there gonna have to do something about that first episode, maybe simply cutting it in half and making it a two part would help ease things up?
it's not even like it was that complicated, either. they just kind of went on and on about these concepts for no apparent reason. you had those guys LITERALLY TALKING CIRCLES around this poor bastard for ten minutes, and you can sum up what they say like this: "we're working together, you're with the church, we fight for the Holy Grail by summoning spirits to fight for us"
The first episode is intended to do two things. 1.) Expand and explain on how the Holy Grail Works. 2.) Introduce the cast of characters and why they are participating in the Holy Grail War. While the former can be eased into the narrative, I think it's better that they get that shit out of the way fast. Additionally, the latter is absolutely important in trying to get the audience acquainted with why these characters are part of this event and considering that chronological order is the best way to explain it in this case, I think it's fine. It's just... long.

But....hataraku maou-sama...Because White Fox is a cheap animation studio.
Duly noted.Bated. The phrase is bated breath[/idiom nazi].

I don't the character designs look that bad. Certainly no worse than the designs for the Steins;Gate anime, which weren't exactly good.
Just so that people can understand what I'm talking about, here's an example of a typical outside shot in Steins;Gate:
Everything is extremely washed out and desaturated, making everything look bland and artificial. The whiteness even extends to the edges of the frame, making it looks like there's some kind of fog enveloping the city -
Of course, there's some even more extreme shots of this particular "technique":
Internal shots look ugly too, but for different reasons. They're dark and colourless, rather than washed-out and colourless:
Finally, here's an example of 'quality' character design:
To be fair they take a cue from the game for the washed out effect, except in the anime its 10x worse.
I think might suggest hataraku maou-sama, Im curious about everyone's reaction to it, its sorta slice of life, comedy, romance, and action all into one, and it somehow works. Its my anime of the year infact.
It was really good, I died laughing a few times. I hope they do another season.
For what it's worth DTB is the only one that would really fit on Toonami.
Hei is the best misanthrope protagonist, you'll see.
Valvrave is essentially the spiritual successor to Code Geass, a show that has been on Adult Swim's anime block.
Can someone explain to me how the PS3 game is coming over but the anime is still up in the air?And JoJo is 100% Toonami material. Only thing that would hold it back is licensing issues because Araki loves his American/British bands.
Didn't Code Geass bomb ratings wise when it was on Adult Swim? Granted things are different now but I can imagine AS might be hesitant if they research the show.

Nothing besides Bleach did really well in that era of Adult Swim Action. Code Geass would do much better on the dedicated Toonami block.
Death Note did better than most but wasn't doing anywhere near the numbers the Toonami shows do. At least that's how I remember it.
I don't think anything ever did these numbers in these timeslots on AS.
You're far better off not watching it. Fate/Zero is good because of the writer, director, and production value, the universe itself is dumb harem pandercrap.
Wait, what? Stay night mayyybe I can see it, but Fate/Zero? Its more morbid than it is pandercrap.
The whole series is based off a eroge visual novel anyways, apparently fate/night must have had some depth to it for this series to come this far.
To be fair, as hyped that I am that the game is coming to the US, we've got no idea how they're handling all the band/music references at the moment. Not to mention the ED for the anime is "Roundabout" by Yes, an English band, so that might bring up some licensing issues. I recall the Capcom fighter had to have some names changed, but that wasn't as bad since there wasn't as much voice acting & such compared to the PS3 Namco one.Can someone explain to me how the PS3 game is coming over but the anime is still up in the air?
I haven't played it, but I know it takes place in a parallel universe to F/SN, so I'm gonna have to assume not really aside from certain characters re-appearing & the whole Grail War thing being a similar plot.The only thing I know about the Fate/ series is from that one PSP game Aksys brought over. Is the anime like the games at all?
I get what ya mean. Sometimes it's hard to get people to stick with a show if the first episode isn't all that interesting, especially when you know the show is good & you tell people "NO, trust me, it gets way better!". I think that example is no more clear than with Fate/Zero and reading impressions.I feel like every show we picked for this block is a slow burn, in 2-3 weeks most people will probably be enjoying them a lot more.
IMO Steins;Gate is the slowest burn of them all. I felt the best scenes were all in the second half of the series.
I thought the pace of the first episode was pretty dang fast. Can't wait to see when it kicks it into high gear.
I meant slow burn as it it'll take a few episodes for people to get the hook if you will. We have verbal confirmation of all 5 of these shows becoming great, but I could see someone dropping all of them after episode 1 except maybe valvrave.

Funny, out of the five shows the one I was considering dropping was Valvrave.
Or at least I can see myself not bothering to jump into irc in a timely manner because I'm not missing much if I'm late.
Honestly my favorites of the block goes from F/Z -> S;G -> DtB -> DtB ---------------------------------------------------------------> Jojo.
