Am I supposed to empathize with Nanami because she sucks at pranks, like some evil dojikko?
Wait, they're really doing the Freaky Friday thing? I thought the preview was a joke!
Standard sitcom procedure in effect; just do whatever caused the personality change again and they'll change back!
Persistent elephants, those.
Aha, Saionji's such a tool.
...really persistent elephants.
At least Saionji didn't have any dignity left to lose.

lol. Sad.
Pretty much every single facet of it is better than any new show currently being discussed in this thread, by a sizeable margin. Not that that says much considering the quality of current shows.
This is one of those episodes that takes on an entirely different perspective on a rewatch.
Have you seen every new show currently being discussed?
I can't go into full-detail on the strength of the direction in E7 (since I haven't watched it in years) but it's all about the use of shots such as length and type of shot they use throughout the narrative, that differentiates good direction from bad direction, it's really the question of "how" they execute it, then the why, and in E7 case, despite what you might say from a writing stand-point, it's extremely competent from a direction stand-point.
Then again anyone who compares the direction of E7 to queens blade, clearly has no idea what he is talking about when he uses the word "direction", which is what bugged me initially, since the guy said the "direction was bad" just because he didn't like the show *shrugs*

You have to rewatch this episode as soon as you finish the show.
As "bad" as they were (stupid by design), the first two seasons of Queen's Blade were surprisingly competent.
Of course not. But I mean, in the off chance that the 4th season of Zero no Tsukaima or Highschool DxD, or even Symphogear is better, Ill gladly take back what I said.

Blood C 7
Dog shops
It is now that I ask these questions because, dammit with these stupid habits, Blood C just ain't gonna stop!
Blood C 8
Welp, lil' munchkin asked that
question for me...and didn't answer it.
Yeah, when giant monsters slowly walk towards my building, I just stand and watch too!
I call one billion gazillion gallons of blood being shed by season's end.
Saya, give up, you already suck
, might as well drop it.
Man, Ben Frank was right, this couple were yawn Except for
Dog shops
that grant wishes. Welp. And yes, Saya, it's guimauve, congrats. Also, how the hell does she keep fighting with chopped shoulder blades?! Must every small cut gush like a river?! How did the samurai's HUGE swords make tic-tac marks?!
Blood C 8
Umm, Tokizane, it's one thing to see her bleed from a paper cut and ANOTHER to see one in a pool of blood while saying, "Oh thank heavens you're safe, I need little explanation!" and of corpse, the love proposal.

Saya, give up, you already suck
at keeping the (protect everyone part of the) promise
Man, Ben Frank was right, this couple were yawn Except for
dat school invasion.
Elaborate. I'm thinking you have no idea what the word direction means because the things you are saying now are pretty laughable.
Competent is not a compliment, btw.
Me neither
Rinne has better character designs and backgrounds than E7 ;>
I look forward to relishing in your pain soon.

At least Pierrot had the wisdom to spread his torture throughout a few days. Why the fuck are you marathoning this!?

trolololol
See I think thats almost more offensive than what he said!
But then again I think Kenichi Yoshida is flat out one of the best character designer in the past decade of anime. A background/minor character designed by Yoshida is better designed than your average lead in most other shows I think.

I like the pirate design, even I never watched something Queensblade related. But more girls in pirates costumes are not a bad thing

Indeed, this will be worth watching just for that, considering Marika in a pirate outfit is the best thing to happen this season.
Because he isn't!
I liked the slut one with makeup better than her normal costume.
Also the best thing to happen this season is still definitely:
The show never came around in the 2nd half.
I dunno, something about his character designs bother me. I can't pin exactly what it is but it's something. They're not bad at all but just that something that bothers me. I think it's the eyes. I'll figure it out one day.
He's no Yoshihiko Umakoshi, that's for sure.

Comments like this are why AnimeGAF will never be respected by the rest of OT.
Vos sos un trol, boludo.

Is it even possible for a three year old to have so much hair?
Competent certainly is a compliment, considering the surprising amount of incompetent folks in the industry. And I know very well what "direction" means. as I once prepared to study just that at the HFF Potsdam. Military service got in the way, though.
Maybe it's not her real hair.

Oh nonono, this torture has to come like a BLAST!
So, I can spend following days recovering, not planning out the next batch!
No it isn't.
You know, banana scenes are usually pretty bad, but this one is fairly innocent.
Write a essay or go into full detail on why eureka seven direction isn't as good as apparently queens blade : rebellion, in that case then.
Pero que peloteces decís!

That's a disingenuous selection of shows - few people in this thread are watching them and even fewer praise them. You know there are shows such as Chihayafuru and Natsume's Book of Friends airing currently, right?
"innocent"
Come on, she doesn't even lick or suck it, it's just a normal chomp!
You'll probably singe your eyebrows off, though.
This post is like specifically designed to kick up pizzaroll's blood pressure.

I hope you are right
Bakemonogatari? Well directed? :lol
Sorry, but you need more than one or two actually well directed episodes to make a show well directed. And Yuasa is an artistically competent director but his shows are unwatchable due to how they look down on and insult the audience.
Hey now, I don't go eating creepy old dude's bananas if they offer it to me on the street.
He is a god tier director.
I'll just go ahead and praise DxD for being good, stupid fun. I wouldn't exactly say it's well directed, though.
