There are two apparent problems here.
First, apparently you've gotten all the terrible anime shows that have featured similar designs in the past.
Secondly, you're watching Sasamisan.

The sakuga at the end of episode one looked promising. Of course, I forgot that SHAFT was SHAFT and therefore episode two had none of that.
The singer is what's wrong with nanoripe. I wanna pull my eardrums out every time I listen to her.

From my prior experiences watching Hanasaku Iroha and Sankarea, it's the singer's voice causing eardrums to rupture.
An Ico reference... in an anime!? Never thought I'd see the day.
That sequence was like the death knell for me. When being comprehensible is an afterthought nothing is going to work out.
I'm glad you're free of that cutler scourge.
Now I'm free to be happier!

No way. nanoripe = awesome. The songs for Hanasaku Iroha were awesome.

Yui episode here.It's rain season in Japan and Yui doesn't want her guitar getting wet. So she gets soaked on her way to school and is wearing a maid outfit in homeroom. Then when she dries her clothes she wears her gym pants under her skirt till Sawa-chan tells her to get rid of them. She grabs them and then she's embarrassed by Yui getting startled cause she's making it sound like she's assaulting her. Though I'm pretty sure telling someone to lose the pants and then grabbing them does indeed qualify as assault. At least this incident wasn't motivated by her being creepy.
Then there's an adorable scene between Yui and Ui where they sing some song about moms and umbrellas with Yui's guitar.
The next day, it's pouring, so Yui has to leave Geeta at school overnight, which makes her sad. She's so happy to be reunited with it the next day she has it out during homeroom. Yui seems to have infected Mio, who now calls her bass Elizabeth, a name Yui gave to it.

Yup. Terrible.
That said, Reg, you should at least try to skip the OP for Jinrui because it's an awesome show (I remember you saying you couldn't watch it because of it or something)

When manga-readers see their favourite work transfigured into an anime I often here that the adaptation wasn't faithful enough. I understand, or rather I am led to understand, this adaptation is extremely faithful. This is, presumably, a good thing because the source material is extremely beloved. However, I can't give this kind of episode a pass simply because of such factors - the art looked rather bad with the CG being especially atrocious and more importantly the pacing really didn't make any sense for an animation. Things that should be happening at the same time or that should have already finished happening don't because the episode itself is cut really awkwardly. More over, the 'action' scenes are really quite atrocious - they resemble a series of manga stills except that they make less sense than those stills because you don't have anytime to focus on what's supposed to be going on in the frames.
This series has certainly managed better than this in the past and I expect them to do so again in the future but this episode was fairly disappointing.

Imagine my feelings when I saw the Holy Sandstorm, realized it was in the OP too and only just then could I perceive it for what it was, then the rush of knowing the mess in the OP looked better than the episode itself.

I've never seen Azumanga or Haibane and I still immediately thought it was amazing. Some people are just born with good ears I guess ¯\_(ツ

It's not even like it's just poorly animated, which it undoubtedly is, it's that I can't even tell what's going on in the action scenes: who is attacking who, who is attacking what, what's moving where, wtf is going on.

Not one of my favorite episodes, but it sure is cute. And it's all worth it for the last scene.

You gotta admit Sugita bullshitting the shit out of everyone was great though.
Biggest complaint for me has to be the time dilation shenanigans going on. That was way longer than one minute.
Should you really be admitting that here?
Every anime I've never watched is my backlog.

Either or.
First half off the anime was really good I thought. Starts to lose some of its luster after that though and was wearing a little thin towards the end. Still an enjoyable anime overall though.

This episode went heavy with the RPG references which made it awesome. It also showed the suppression of the minority by the empire.

Was she scratching the wall like a cat or what?
Code:Breaker 12-13
What a finale.
You were so right.
That fuckin' dog :lol
sogood.gif
What a finale.
Hitomi filled that Magneto role magnificently. It was sort of depressing to see the regret he carried during the Code:End process that seemed split between his plans failing and realizing he should have never cut the important people out of his life. It was also really nice to see the culmination in the characterization of the Code:Breakers themselves. Those cold blooded killers had just enough heroism about them that I like to think was inspired by Hitomi himself given their hero worship until the bitter end.
The conflict in these last two eps was so good too. One aspect of this I appreciate is you have the characters with a (mostly) full grasp of their powers so the fights end up interesting. The ice wielder vs the darkness wielder (whose names both escape me) just seemed creative in their execution in particular. The finale as a whole had a great sense of escalation too. Just when you thought it was over, nope, something else was afoot. It didn't feel forced either aside from possibly Ogami's final burst. I lost it when it looked like Hitomi was about to win by broadcasting a trigger to the bombs and darkness enveloped the tower out of nowhere and the calvary arrived.
I should have seen that prime minister thing coming too. It was a magnificent sell on the notion he'd be saved when the Code:Breaker's interrupted Hitomi's final assault that I never once considered the body manipulation Hitomi had demonstrated in the past would be present one more time. I think a lot of that had to do with the Yuki scene with him on the rooftop that gave him a sense of being untouchable.

Since when are Spelunker and Dig Dug RPGs?
Uh... do you see my post count and what place I am? Seems like someone needs to do THEIR job. lol.
Yoiko did it better.
I was wondering this also, but...you know...ANIMU.
Rideback was a unique idea but I guess it wasnt memorable enough to be discussed much. Its a cool show IMO. I got the blurays.
Nothing is wrong with Nanoripe!

Oh this episode was sooo adorable. Especially the way Mio was with her own bass.
orrrrr the opening to Magical Nyan Nyan Taruto!

Whaaaaat? WHATWHAT WHAT WHAT?
Watch Haibane right now!!!!
Ages are flipped. Sister who's youngest physically is oldest mentally. Sister who's oldest physically is youngest mentally.
Either it's some kooky bodyswap or SHAFT is working with the FBI to profile pedophiles.
You're not in first. If you were, we'd be nearly there.

The only reasoned I enjoyed the episode at all is down to the source material and the strength of the voice acting, everything else was average to bad.

I can't be first. It's impossible. Plus I came in a tad late into this thread compared to everyone else because of vacation. Remember?
oh wow, Capcpom finally found a new use for Megaman and Viewtiful Joe
for one second in the new Ixion Saga ED lol
Vacation? I thought it was training. wtf
Is that Mazinger Z, Getter Robo, and Cutie Honey there too?

Watch Azumanga soon.

So if
?
Man, just imagine the kind of insane political parties that would form if St. Piria became a democracy. The new ED is pretty boring (it'll probably get better once there's a translation for the song as it's probably subversive and raunchy) but at least we got this one piece of amazing symbolism :lol Somehow it never gets old.
So if
Ecarlate is several dozen positions back in the line of succession then why is the enemy faction so intent on killing her
