Wonder what they are doing...tell half the story or rush it through to fit 12 epiodes.

Didn't someone here say that with something that was shown on episode 1, we were already being shown different things from the manga, and that an original ending was very likely?
Nope, we're getting the manga ending, it's confirmed.

Then we are either getting the classic "go read the manga" or we are getting a second season. Hoping for the latter.

The manga has a lot of fat you could easily cut down for the anime without losing anything of worth.
Nah, they'll just rush. I've heard that they've already done the whole 1st volume in the first episode.
????
We're getting the manga's ending, the manga is almost finished
we can't get a read the manga ending
Thats quite a pace. I guess its hard to judge what the effect the cuts have with only 2 episodes in and having not read the manga.
It didn't feel to me there was anything missing as in everything makes sense so far.

It's most likely what PdotMichael said. I try to stay away from such conversations in case of spoilers, but it seems the manga is actually a bit slow, so rushing isn't a bad thing in this case.

GATE 14
Holy Propaganda, Batman. But at least the show is getting pretty interesting now, so I'm not complaining. Glad that the prince got his ass royally handed to him, and I was surprises that the JDSF just decided to start bombing the shit out of the senate. Looking forward to next week.

Pandora 2
I'm really digging this one. Nene and Clarion are just fun to watch, Uzal's rather sociopathic, "because I can" tendencies are amusing. The action scenes and CG felt much better for me than the first episode's. Budget is low, but it looks a bit better during the action when it needs to be, while the slower comedy scenes try to compensate with silliness, which for me is working. Soundtrack's pretty awful though.
And yes, there is a bit of lewd. Can't say it bothers me in the slightest. Couple reasons for that, beyond having a high tolerance for ecchi. Nene's eagerness to it all is great. Nene is general is just adorable. More importantly, the show doesn't really linger on the scenes in question. Are they there, yes. But the show doesn't really play the "fingering" up that much, and the Pandora sequences go by fairly quickly. For me, fanservice becomes an actual issue when the show spends so much time on it that the comedy, action, story, whatever starts to suffer. I don't feel that's the case here.

I'm surprised it even got 12 episodes since shows airing in Noitamina are usually 11 episodes.
Still 7 vols in 1cour is doable if its in the right hands.

TBF Crunchyroll is kinda shit without a sub, at least in my experience. Wonder how much longer before Funimation does the same?
That's what they said about Tokyo Ghoul !

My Little Rika-chama Can't Possibly Be This Radical
...Seriously, I guess nobody in their right mind would hope for a "read the manga" ending, but based on what I've read in this thread it looks like the anime's adapting things at a fast enough pace to possibly cover all of the source material in the twelve episodes it's been allotted.

Everything is affected due to our shite economy. On a different note, given our shit dollar when should we start expecting Canadian VAs like Scott McNeil and Chantal Strand to once again voice in a new anime dub?
Kuroko no Basuke 01-13
So I decided to watch another sports anime, and since friends recommended this, I jumped in. I don't really care for basketball nor have I actually watched many full games like I did with volleyball before Haikyuu!, but this anime doesn't need any of that. It has the same hype building momentum Haikyuu! has and that's more than enough to cover for the lack of previous basketball knowledge, if that makes any sense.
At first I didn't like Kuroko much, mostly because he is the apathetic persona pretty much every anime has. I thought he was to Kuroko's Basuke what Kenma was for Haikyuu! Big difference is that Kuroko, despite talking in monotone voices and having that one expression, actually cares, and tells that. He, with these specific words, says he likes basketball, while Kenma doesn't sway from the "meh, I guess issokay" line regarding volleyball. All his interactions are great, both with Kagami and the Miracle Generation.
That's something I really liked, by the way. I was led to believe early on that Kuroko is a ghost, a phantom, a nobody, which is kind of ridiculous even if that is his "ability". I thought he was mostly ignored and not considered in the same "generation miracle" level since he didn't get the fame. But soon we get him interacting with Kise and Midorima, and we get to see that those who matter actually considered him: his team. Yeah, Midorima and him don't see eye to eye, but Midorima respects him and that's enough. He doesn't pretend he doesn't exist. It's weird that I got this feeling, because the intro says (and I only really noticed the wording after I started realizing this in the anime itself) "Despite being relatively unknown and lacking a game record, there was one more member recognized by the five prodigies".
One thing that didn't clicked is the dialogue during the matches. Thoughts and flashbacks are one thing, but actual dialogue is kind of ridiculous because of the time slots. Sure, Haikyuu! has some of this as well, but they don't feel as long. People talked for a minute in the last 3 seconds of the Seirin x Shutoku match. It was a great scene, though.
They also could use a little more time developing the other characters in the team. I don't know the name of any of them aside from Kuroko, Kagami and Hyuga, and I'm pretty sure I knew the names (and more) of all of Karasuno's team by this point in Haikyuu!

Has this been posted? Because it's relevant to people who don't have a premium account with Crunchyroll.

Worth noting that this seems to only be relevant if you're in canada

Garo the Animation 8
Heh, of course that would be how German lost his clothes. Of course.
From a writing perspective, I'm impressed that the show had two episodes with started and ended with the same scene and diverged in between to tell two contrasting stories. I'm also impressed that this episode balanced quite well the absurdity of German's situation and serious moments deeply relevant to the overall plot.

Though it could be relevant for other non US countries given currency fluctuations. I know the Australian dollar is about the same now versus the USD.
That said I'm surprised they haven't done this across the board. Make new episodes accessible freely but after a certain point make them premium only. Like they do with manga.

Erased 02 :
is slowly but surely profiling into becoming the best anime of the year(s) 2015/2016, and maybe the decade - for me.
It's just really well shot, no over-used camera gimmicks or just plain bland shots and it's so rare in today's anime that I cherish it a lot.
Also great pacing, interesting plot, really really good voice acting with nicely written characters that don't make you feel like you heard the protagonists voice acting those 'one-trait' characters before a thousand times already.

Ah, gotcha. Feels like it's come up every day...
Yeah you could put Haikyuu and Kuroko side by side in comparison they incredibly similar in terms of how their stories progress(although most sports anime that ive seen have the same structure.) Even the team members from both sort of overlap with each other.
About the dialogue in matchs I guess its a cost saving measure. A way to animate a basketball game without actually animating it,if that makes sense. Its not until season 2 that they go all out with the animation in certain games but it is glorious when they do so.
And jesus if want ridiculous dialogue during a game watch Eyesheild 21. One play in American football=20 minutes runtime.

I really like it. In today's message board post world, it is getting rarer and rarer to see such a potent combination of surprised cat avatar, uppercase letters, and red text. A quality post. Post of the season, even.
