I said Bismarck to bait you but left out Prinz and U-511 as to not make it obvious.
You fell for my trap! Oh and it'll be RO-500 not U-511.

Coinciding with the occasion of the 5th anniversary of the original airing for the final episode from So・Ra・No・Wo・To I've been doing a re-watch of the whole series, at Crunchyroll, so because of this I was wondering... does anyone know of a specific reason they could have mentioned for the worse picture quality in the special episode titled 'The Horizon of Dreams' they host?
I mean, for the 'on-air' materials they have from the main series at least the picture quality is very sufficient in comparison. Why exactly this difference?

TBH probably only Bismark that have chance to be in S2. maybe with Z1 & Z3 random appearance.
I hope they focused on existing character instead randomly put another one.

Interesting conclusion with a considerably different tone than the rest of the series. No feeling of danger coming from around the corner.
I'd say a pretty solid ending all things considered

Humanity just goes on with the parasites becoming absorbed into the society. Even Migi basically goes away. having the crazy convinct as the final villain makes for some good juxtaposition

More shit happens as you go, but its not like its getting better.
I haven't read the manga, but I loved the show and the designs. Probably one of my favorite times watching a show was spent with Flowers of Evil. I loved the rotoscoped visuals, but I see a lot of negativity towards them. That's fine, I'm just glad that I loved them, because otherwise I would have missed out on an amazing show

We'll get those answers in S2.

You could've phrased that a little more romantically, Basara. At least you do know when to stop. Right now, there are other, bigger issues. With S2 on the way, can't really call these thoughts final, but from what I saw, it's alright. The Dragon Quest mold of heroes and demons is one that's been with anime for some time, this being one of the lewder variants. The action's not too bad, I like the girls, with Maria getting more sympathetic in her mischief as the season went on, and it's setting up some sort of myth arc that could have payoff, or at least continue, next season. Overall, it was entertaining, and that's what I was looking for.

I'm sure it'll all get sorted out soon.
Oh boy you're going to love a Certain Scene later on...

Read the manga, I never saw the show and probably won't because of how much of a rollercoaster the entire series was ;_;
Not trying to insult taste or anything but 3D models on shows never do it for me, especially when the entire show is done in 3D modeling.

If this bothers you then this might not be the show for you.
Just stop watching now

Ouch, I'll have to try and figure it out, that is waaay over my head, lol.
not really, it's not on Google play that I can find, and I do not use iTunes, so I'm still trying to find a way to get it on my phone and not need an internet connection to play. i.e. I'm willing to pay money...
Well, technically they are!
Nah, I'm fine with it. I love ToLOVE-ru, after all. Just an observation.

Random, but on MyAnimeList, One Punch Man anime is in the top 75 and it hasn't even aired. That seems dumb.
You have correctly diagnosed the MAL ratings list.

is that a question ? The answer is yes .
If it wasn't , i knew that ...
S1 skipped a lot of information that should be obvious now but isn't
you are now ready for the rest of the show

I imagine someone just didnt take the time to program their code to get anime that have not yet aired to not be counted in the rankings
I'm not familiar with the show in question, but, was that episode originally a home video exclusive one? On the occasions that CR gets the rights to stream those (fairly rare), they often seem to be given DVD-quality assets. The DRRR!! home video episodes are the same way, for example. The exact reason I don't know, probably something to do with the complex web of rights-holders and distribution agreements.

I don't think there's that much consensus in here about many titles, actually. Nor do I think there are that many "well known" posters, what with the influx of new posters this thread gets on a semi-regular basis.
I dunno if I have ever seen anyone do that.
But I do know that I've seen people recommending a lot of shitty (sometimes remarkably, other times not so much) anime. That's dumb. There's plenty of places to go for bad recommendations.
Still looks janky ;_;
Haha
To be honest, I think it grows on ya, then again looking at places like MAL...maybe not...eh on second thought, fuck MAL EDIT: The reviews for Aku no Hana on there are actually pretty decent.

Parasyte - 24 [End]
I would've been satisfied if they just kept going when
and end it on a 100% calm and reflective episode as a whole. In my opinion that part felt rather shoehorned for something dramatic, which I don't think it really needed.
, I think was a good way to end it.
The show has been enjoyable to me throughout, it has certainly had some hiccups, but overall I am pleased with it.

Are you saying that a Paltabor movie is slower and more 'artsy' than two movies directed by Mamoru Oshii?
I can't even begin to comprehend what this could mean. There are few, if any, mainstream anime directors who create more languid and rich films then Oshii.

Fun.
Here's some other impressions from Season 1's OT and one from the AOTY thread.
Narag said:
Don't let Jeff fool you.
I watched one episode of GBF and it wasn't good.
It's not like Raku is alone in this. Every character wears his heart on the sleeve but outside of Ruri and Shuu no one notices. But yeah get used to obliviousness or abort.
Say what you will about Nise but it probably has more plot advancement per episode than Nozaki-kun. <shots fired>

I'm gullible as hell because I totally bought
. Outside of the preachy parts and of characters getting hit by a stupid stick, it was a fairly good finish to the story. Outside of the first 3 episodes and of the Tamura Reiko arc later, Parasyte never managed to elevate itself to something really good but it also never dipped below passable for long. An okayish show. Though after all the hype I read before it aired, I was expecting something substantially better.

Though if I had to recommend one Gundam show before going into GBF S1, go with G Gundam, as it and GBF have a couple of things in common.
It's also the best Gundam show ever made, too.

I'm sure that will all get resolved somewhere about episode 540, because you're watching an endless rom-com that doesn't even have the decency to include wacky aliens, like Urusei Yatsura.
Discotek really are the best.
Why you got to pick me apart like that man T_T

It's interesting in how the manga and anime are so close... but also kind of far away.
I was complaining in this last episode.
Then I checked the manga and script-wise, it all happens the same. But the language between the comic media and the screen are different, so in the anime all the perceptions changes for worse. The pace, the timing, the delivery of some monologues, it all feels off.

As a epilogue it feels too long, Migi disappearing feels too convenient, the serial killer appearing in the last moment and going specifically for them feels too unreal, I guessed how she would be saved, etc.

Wow, remarkably that's worse than what I was imagining.
Yes, you have correctly noted that MAL ratings are pretty dumb and should not be considered when trying to make viewing decisions.

Only some really avant-garde shorts (Limit Cycle comes to mind) are slower and more "artsy" than Oshii's films.
Let's be fair, Nozaki-kun doesn't even really attempt to have a "plot" or do any development of romance. It's more a straight-up comedy/shoujo parody.
