It's weird how every single week since the show started, people have been dropping Guilty Crown, and yet there are STILL people who remain. How many people started watching the show to begin with? Everyone? What a horrifying thought.
I will stay the course.

Both writers worked on Code Geass... I find that highly implausible. Unless, you thought Code Geass had good writing!?

Everything is yuri, yuri is everything.
One thing I forgot to mention is that the head of Sanzigen made a very interesting comment on the NHK World program. He said that in a way BRS TV was both an experiment and a marketing showcase of sorts for Ultra Super Pictures, and the contribution from Sanzigen as one of the major stakeholders is that they want to use the show to showcase that Sanzigen as a studio can provide CG animation which rivals hand drawn animation while looking very close to hand drawn anime at the same time. He says that if it is successful, he hopes that it leads to more people considering it as an alternative.
This comment leads me to believe that BRS TV is more than just something they are making just artistically, but also a project that Sanzigen in particular is trying to use as a showcase to convince producers and other studios that if they need someone to animate an action scene or they want to use CG in an integrated way, they should consider looking towards Ultra Super Picture, and in particular Sanzigen. They're basically looking for more work in the future, to expand their mind share on the market.
That might be why they're putting so much effort into making a substantial part of the series CG instead of Ordet simply looking for good action animators.

Black ★ Rock Shooter 01
Not as good as the OVA overall, pretty much what duck said. BUT I must say, the CG has got to be hands down THE most impressive feat of imitating the look/feel of hand drawn anime. Holy. Fucking. Shit!

If I'm entertained, I consider it good. So yes, I think Geass has good writing.
With so little time after their establishment it would be difficult, but I guess TRIGGER Inc. people (credited as staff member) would have also been there maybe in charge of some episode (I think they will show on this project at least handling assistance) if it wasn't for that. There's always Mr. Imaishi as their definitive showcase, though.

Just so you know, you're approaching the first filler arc which is pretty crap. I think it's 54-60 or something. You can skip it if you want. I'd also recommend using an episode guide in general. I don't want to pull up one right now since I'm on my iPhone, but I can later.
Garzey's Wing 2
The selected quotes of Lord Chris:
"You certainly got sexy!"
"Why can't you do something for us mister Yamato-takeru-nomikoto?!"
"I'm just half. I can't act like an ancient japanese man. Oh no, damn you. You bastard!"
"Shit! Then can you make a gun?"
oh god ahahhaha at the weaponised cocaine. "If you taste it or smoke it, you get happy and do crazy things."

I didn't fall for all of those whimsical promises of greatness. Part of me still wants to watch the trainwreck but the other part of me is glad I avoided it.

Good question, but if it leads to more Junji Ito adaptations, I'm all for it.
Nah. I've dealt with Naruto's and Bleach's fillers arcs, I'm sure I can handle One Piece's.
Trigger is already credited on the show as Production Assistance, so you're right about that. Both Imaishi and Amemiya are credited with Animation Layout for the CG parts of Ep1, Imaishi co-storyboarded Ep1, and Imaishi directed and storyboarded the OP. Trigger staff are definitely working very closely with Sanzigen on this project even though the actual animation production for those scenes are all Sanzigen.

If you say so. Even the worst OP filler is better than Bleach and Naruto's.
Melody of Oblivion 8
Satisfying episode with a nice wrap up to their current. Toune's Meros reveal was a bit out there but worth it for the look on Bocca's face. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eyKT704es5A

Way to be a creeper, Hazuki.
What won't Japan affix cat ears to?

Ugh. The PV for Gyo looks pretty bad.
Dame I envy you so much
You have tons and tons and tons of incredible moments ahead of you, it's only keeps getting better with every arc.

5 Centimeters Per Second
GAF does it again. Great movie. If it had gone a little bit further and I didn't have such trouble figuring out who was who in the ending montage, the bitch tears would have broken out. I'm definitely glad I went with the dub. Trying to juggle the visuals with the subs would have been a huge disservice to the movie.
It was really weird going from lengthy media(video games, TV series, etc) to a movie that's only an hour long. Part of me wants to complain that it was too short, but another part of me wants to say "stfu and dealwithit.gif."

After Takaki says that he quit his job, I started steeling myself for him to commit suicide. So I was totally caught off guard when he smiled at the very end. Made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
Those are some pretty dumb looking land sharks.
Congrats on enjoying it. I became a crippling mental wreck for a week after I watched it.

Really? I was headed straight there with you, but the last scene made me do a 180.
Don't really know anything about it, but people dying in gruesome ways could be fun. Pretty ugly though.

Guilty Crown 15
Jesus Christ. Who didn't see that coming?
Prepare yourselves, we're in full trainwreck mode now.
Predictions for the ending:
Jesus Christ. Who didn't see that coming?
Hare death, accompanied by some very deleberate rape imagery when Shu forcibly takes Inori's void. Naturally, Hare's sacrifice so that Shu would be a kind king goes the complete opposite way. All this will lead to FORCED MELODRAMA.
Prepare yourselves, we're in full trainwreck mode now.
Predictions for the ending:
Shu becomes asshole, but gets results.
Saves sizable amount of students at first.
New attitude will alienate him from the rest of the crew, including Inori.
Melodrama.
Cat girl will die, probably more of his groupies too.
Inori will be separated(forcibly or willingly) and the apocalypse will once again arrive.
Will save the world.
Shuu will realize what he has become, will kill more people and possibly himself or Inori to remove the kings power.
Self sacrifice to redeem himself as a "kind king, adorned with the guilty crown"
Queue bittersweet ending, and Otakus/weaboos clamoring how amazing it is.

Yeah, last scene wasn't enough for me. Oh well. Shinkai gonna' shinkai

ಠ_ಠ While Code Geass may have the occasional good bit of writing, primarily in the first season, the writing as whole is mediocre to bad. You need better standards.
What the fuck did I just watch? It's like if Syfy made an anime. Regardless, I feel like I just watched the whole thing.

Tomodachi wa Mahou
The two don't have to be related.
The writing in Geass is pretty questionable. Geass is one of the most entertaining and enjoyable series I have ever experienced and that will always remain the case.

Just needed some open ended prospect for a season 2, no way something this popular ends with only 22 episodes.
Brave 10 4
So late, but kind of a boring episode. Saizo is really good but always held back by the terrible and useless Isanami. Fighting was good but isnt it getting a bit too routine with how it is carried out with Saizo.
Cool attack, take tons of damage and blood, like Bleach's Kenpachi, cue rock music, miraculously win?
Oh well, Yuri makes things awesome, never get tired-please stay in all episodes!
Damn, lotta people ITT need to read Gyo. The brilliance of Ito knows no bounds.
we should've listened to Kawamori before it was too late...

Problem is I feel like I've seen everything thanks to that trailer. It's like Hollywood movie trailers are infecting Japan. D:
They seem to have messed around with the plot quite a bit if the PV is anything to go by so you should still check it out. Trust me, you ain't seen nothing yet!

A prequel Light Novel and manga series is already being made ~_~

At least it can be "good".
Speaking of which, Yuri Rock Shooter 1 was really... eh. I suppose they needed a way to expand the OVA into 8 episodes, so they had to throw in new complications.

Besides that, overall fun episode. Light on the emotions and more on exploring the side cast and pretty much introducing them all which I found really enjoyable. Just focus on the comedy and I would enjoy this show much more.
I get it. She has the feelings.
