I'm actively avoiding that landmine and focusing on the more hopeful points. Although now that I've got it in my mind, I'll probably end up wandering onto it sooner or later.
Anyway, thank you for the recommendation. You done good.

Black★Rock Shooter 01: I get the impression that I should maybe watch the OVA?
I was thoroughly impressed with the CGI. Visually it looks precisely like traditional 2D art, and the illusion is only broken when characters move with the camera in a static position. Which is not bad if you have played video games for a long time, mind you, just different.
I would watch a whole anime with CGI like this. edit: So Imaishi was in charge of the fantasy world scenes? No wonder it was fucking awesome!
They totally want to bone each other, c'mon.

Don't, it will probably decrease your enjoyment of the TV show and they aren't related at all.
OVA Mato and OVA Yomi are much, much better than their TV show equivalents. ;_;

I agree wholeheartedly. It was absolutely fantastic.
If Lelouche had, say, had some kind of robot-piloting accident and caused a similar level of destruction, that would have been bad enough. But no, it was a needless joke. The absolute worst way to cause a tragedy. Like if you played a silly prank on your spouse and somehow it wound up getting them killed.
He could have said anything else, tell her "dance naked until I tell you to stop" or something, but his brain spit that out, as the perfect example of an order that would be unthinkable for Euphie to follow. The sheer pointlessness of having caused that tortures Lelouche. It's the sort of thing people commit suicide over, but he doesn't even have that as an option because of his responsibility to the rebellion he started, his responsibility for that situation itself, and his concern for his sister. So he's forced to push on living with that.

This episode is significantly worse than the OVA. I don't mind the use of CGI, but the art, animation, and even the script are all downgrades.

Moreso than the environmental themes, the sheer garishness of everything is already screaming amazing trainwreck to me. Horrid CG, surfaces and backgrounds that don't quite feel like they're on the same planes as the characters, use of actual photographs, hideous character design for Chris and his loli cohort, Juna's clothing magically becoming fanservice-tastic after she

Intentionally kill Juna with a magical rainbow aura thing just to revive her as the Avatar of Time? Offer her life back when it's established in the opening nature slideshow that human lives don't mean shit to the planet?

Interesting strategy, to make the CGI look better by deliberately making the 2D animated real world look atrocious. I mean, this has to be deliberate, right?
They did some interesting things with the CGI to make it less apparent. There was the line-variation technique already mentioned. They also chose a simpler shading style, and everything was overlayed with lots of effects, including digital filters and 2D animation effects. At the same time, it was certainly apparent at times that it was CGI, and there are limitations even when it is done this well. I don't think this could really work as well with a different director or a different style. It wouldn't work if you had more complicated character designs, or more realistic lighting. And it wouldn't work if the characters had to emote more than the rather stoic BRS characters. And even though this looks decent, it in no way compares to the OVA animation, and I can't say I would ever prefer it over decently done 2D fight scenes.
As for the plot, it was terrible and dumb. I said when I finished the OVA I didn't really see where they could go in a TV series, except to rehash the exact same story in sillier ways, and my fears were realized. Although I didn't expect it to get so goofy and cliched so fast. U GET DA UGLY COOKIES AND UGLY DOLL BECUZ U UGLY LOL. It was just so trite and exaggerated compared to the more down-to-earth OVA.
Dresden will like it though.
Also I thought it was funny when the dollhouse had better art than everything else.

I guess this makes Hare the Shirley of Guilty Crown. I honestly think it's more effective. I was seriously close to tearing up when she started crawling toward Shu and talking about the king book. Then Shu's reaction was gold. Dem dead eyes.

Well he did write the two episodes of Persona 4 that were actually interesting so hes got a leg up on Guilty Crown's writers.
Just watch 13-15 and you're all set.
That wheelchair girl totally looks like she's going to grow some segway wheels for feet. Losing interest.
Isn't really fair considering they got the game as source they can follow whereas guilty crown is all original.

Black★Rock Shooter OVA: I liked this OVA for the opposite reasons I liked the first episode of the anime. Whereas the TV show was boring friendship antics summarised in twenty minutes the OVA managed to make me care and believe Yomi and Mato's blossoming relationship. On the other hand, I was engaged by the fantasy world action in the TV series, but thought the OVA handled these scenes very... non-sequituresque? There's no rhyme or reason to how they are spaced throughout the fifty-minute run even if it plays an important role in the climax. Never mind that the ending is totally robbed of any emotion with how buffoonishly it handles the last scene
.
I wish this had been forty minutes of Mato and Yomi's antics instead of forty minutes of Mato and Yomi's antics plus ten silly minutes of dead-flat chested girls shooting and slicing at each other. It doesn't matter how greatly animated or visually-arresting the action is if it adds nothing to the theme of the piece, and if it starts to irritate me to the point where I want to go back to the mundane real-life stuff, well, that's a flaw.
I give this OVA three 7ths out of five. And yes, I agree with 7th; they downgraded Yomi and Mato. They actually had a personality before.

Black Rock Shooter 01:
That was actually.......pretty okay?
I have to give the animators credit. The methods used for masking the use of CG for BRS, Dead Master, and crew worked really well. Even if it was slightly apparent in this or that scene, for the most part it passed well enough for 2D. The same can't be said for the
, but the choreography of the fight was interesting enough to keep my mind off of any CG deficiencies for the most part.
So far, I'm liking how the relationship between Mato and Yomi is developing more than the OVA. In spite of
, Yomi feels like much less of an unapproachable ojousama so the friendship feels more natural. Mato's overall character design suffered, but Yomi's was given a new dimension of HNNNNNNG. Something about those glasses and that hair gives her almost an awkward, geeky look (and screams yuri, but no sign of that yet.
)
was pretty laughable and a cheap way to
, but it had to happen somehow if BRS-world is still going to be
and it's at least better than
from the OVA. I'm not expecting the show to have the best-written characters ever, so I can live with it. All told, it's pretty good for what it is so far. It's the first newtaminA show that doesn't feel like it's trying too hard.

You're a shining beacon of common sense.
They're just friends that happen to share an interest in the same book about a bird in a land of magical rainbows. No need to read anything more into that.
Really? I can't see how a cliched anime villain appearing from nowhere is better than a naturally developed obstacle.
It might be a little bit better than crap like No. 6 and Guilty Crown, but that's not really saying much.

They should have just called Hare "Lamb". This whole time she has been the boring childhood friend character whose personality is "nice". She never says anything that could remotely be taken as anything other than caring to try and make her death a bigger deal, but I just didn't care. I would maybe go so far as to say that I have never been more indifferent to watching a character die. Her death was slow, stupid, and thrust into the plot because we have to hit some kind of turning point for Shu. As she went through the whole self sacrifice routine I pretty much just went, "Hey, can we speed this up? I get it. Maybe if her brain was a quarter of the size of her chest she could have just healed herself and then Shu, and they wouldn't have to go through the contrivance of killing her twice."
But then the episode was also just stupid for so many other reasons, as Guilty Crown usually is. Shu can pretty much stomp through anything and he has an obscene number of tools at hand, but somehow they can't get enough medicine, or break out of the quarantine zone. Why did Inori not want Shu to draw her void in the middle of a battlefield? Because the writers couldn't think of anything better to help show Shu acting like a completely different person even though there wasn't any real build up to that. Oh, and to nail in the character shift the writers had Shu do the whole cliched blaming somebody else for the death of his friend, where he beat them up crying out for him to bring her back from the dead.
This show doesn't do anything well. Even its shock value falls completely flat because of the contrivances the show stretches to in order to accommodate the way they want the plot to move. It's pretty pitiful, but the show has stepped off some kind of precipice, so at the very least I hope its new direction will offer something more cogent. I am pretty ready to give up on the show though.

Please don't be CG fish please please please fuuuuuuuuuuuuck why screw up the most important part? That's absolutely the WRONG place to use CG argggghhh so much fail.
4 minutes is a ridiculous length for a trailer. It should have been all build up ending with the reveal of a single land shark, or something.

At least Souta got decked for being a retard. Maybe Shu get some shit done now while being a tyrant. This show makes every Thursday better.

The scene with Yoshitake and that one girl voiced by Chiwa Saito hahaha. Putting on airs indeed. The boy student president is such a bro. The vice president is so competent too.
The combination of Yuu Kobayashi and Chiwa Saito in the highschool girls scene was just too much lol. Karasawa being smooth again!
It's been awhile since I've seen a show do some bits during those sponsor shoutouts section of the episode. Reminds of me School Rumble in that way.
Call me Papa 3-4: That fanservice I could do without but it's par for course. It'll be funny when you have Raika and the sisters meeting up. I still enjoy the family segments (Hina is cute and stuff). The thing about the girls' underwear touching the dude's while in the laundromat is so dumb. Just throw it in and wash it : /

Tantei Opera Milky Holmes II 3 - Finally, a great episode of Milky Holmes 2! After two mediocre episodes I was starting to worry about this show, but this episode shows that they still can indeed write funny Milky Holmes stories, indeed. This episode was great stuff beginning to end, and returns to the kinds of absurd storylines, plot points, and humor of the first season. It was just so completely ridiculous, and also funny... very good work!
This episode is about the Milky Holmes team as they infiltrate, and get imprisoned on, a prison island. There was just so much to like about this episode. There's a musical number (yes, really!), a prison break, the return of their detective outfits (
, a weird ending, some varied art (some of the faces, for instance...), lots and lots of sea cucumbers... funny stuff all around.
If I have any complaints about this episode... well, I can really only think of one (warning, ending spoilers) --
... I know, you're not supposed to think about it that much, and are just supposed to accept it. I know, but I can't quite... still, apart from that, this episode was great. This is by far the best episode of the season so far, and stands well against most of the first season episodes too. 
Daily Lives of High School Boys 1 - That was funny, sure, but Nichijou's equal or better? No way. Sorry. It's not. The situations are about as implausible really (okay, not as fantastic, but certainly not too likely either), and it's not as interesting or funny. I mean, was I amused sometimes? Yeah, it can be funny. But is it one of the great comedy animes, like Nichijou is most of the time? Not in my opinion.
About some of the skits:
Overall, I'll probably watch a bit more of this, but I don't love it.
Who knows, they could be...
Anyway, okay, I guess that is a good Japanese example of that. And that's really, really bad, but still,
Of course both are incredibly creepy and wrong though. (It is kind of odd how the Tale of Genji was written by a woman, isn't it, given content like that...)

How were they supposed to know that that was a city prison? Yeah, it's an island within sight of the city, but they're never charged with a crime, they get locked up simply for landing on the island, they're never told it's an official facility... seriously, I know this show is completely silly, and yes, releasing all the prisoners was probably an iffy move, but still, there's no way they could have known. And anyway, breaking out after being imprisoned without a trial for doing nothing wrong isn't bad, I think.

About some of the skits:
Skirts one - Yeah, I can't see that happening. "Ghost stories" - heh... maybe? "him with a girl" - I really don't understand anime's thing about groups of guys without girlfriends who try to keep their male classmates/friends from getting girlfriends... it's such a common anime theme, but I don't know where they came up with it. Is this some Japanese thing? You certainly don't see anything really like that in most American stuff. 'literary girl' one - partially tedious, but the punchline at the end was funny.
Overall, I'll probably watch a bit more of this, but I don't love it.
Only one more to go, prepare yourself for one of the greatest endings in anime!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."
all of them
Who knows, they could be...
Older than print? But the Tale of Genji was originally a printed book...
Anyway, okay, I guess that is a good Japanese example of that. And that's really, really bad, but still,
having it be someone who through most of the story is thought to be an actual relative IS worse, I think.
Agreed, yes. It is a funny show, but it's no competition for Nichijou, not even close.
I don't understand why this series is a retelling of the OVA, when the main problem with the OVA was that it felt like the first part of a longer series... I really hope that they extend it and make it feel more like a complete story this time. I was hoping it'd be a sequel to the OVA, really, but we'll see how this works.
Yeah, as I said above, that last paragraph was how I felt about the 2010 OVA too -- it felt like a solid first episode of a longer series. It's not a very good stand-alone story, though, which is why I was hoping the new series would be the sequel it needed... hopefully it continues past that point this time, but eight episodes isn't that many.
No, IS deserves another season more than Horizon for sure...

I'll agree that Hare is a bit underdeveloped beyond her love for Shu, but I honestly thought that was enough. Even though Shu was aware of it, her "official" confession still left a deep impact on him. Is it cliche that she did that before dying? Absolutely. Does it still work? Again, absolutely. Same thing happened in TTGL and it was great.
Also, I'm pretty sure it was confirmed you can't use a Void on yourself, so there's that.
As for Inori's reaction; well you still have to jam your hand into someone's chest to pull out their Void. Irrational or not given the situation, I think anyone would put up a bit of resistance if they looked like they were coming at you with the face of a rapist or something.
And just like the confession being cliche yet working, I could say the same about Shu's attitude toward Souta. It's an understandable reaction and is in line with his development. This episode made it quite clear Shu needs to change and this event makes it seem like it could go either way. A temporary "fall" is the kind of shakeup the show needs.
