To be fair to professional anime stuff Extollere doesn't have to pop those out in 5 minutes while spending a week sleeping under his desk eating instant ramen noodles. Now if he does that anyway power to him!

On the last point, I want to believe that it was a matter of being caught up in the excitement. That, and well, a guy in a mask just doesn't make for a good postcard moment... so it's possible they just threw logic out the door for a decent shot, much like the ending of the previous episode.
I don't know if their consistent quality is due to great scheduling or due to a lot of talented people (maybe both?), but KyoAni is great at keeping general quality up. Even back during Clannad After Story, when they were apparently at their busiest, I didn't really notice anything wrong. I really hope they stick with doing a few (sometimes one) shows a year and not doing two shows in the same season.
I dunno. They did do Air.

Are the promotional artworks for anime shows, like posters and such, also done by the animators?
Does that mean free users and paid users get episode 11 at the exact same time?
Yeah. Sometimes they're done by the character designers too.
I try to show my reactions to things when I write impressions. Observe how I have written about precure and sailor moon for example.
you will rarely see character analysis by me but expect to know exactly how I feel about it lol.
man, he draws while fapping. If that aint impressive I dont know what is!

That brings something up as well. Do the character designers for a show often work on the same show as an animator?
This is amazing.
And there's almost something poetic about getting Hyouka instead of Angel Beats!.
The amount of effort being put into this is really surprising.
KyoAni giving that hack the finger by working on a good series like Hyouka just owns so hard.
Miyuki Sawashiro hnnnngh.
Or the marketing for this must be really good to give a impression.

She's voiced by Miyuki Sawashiro so she's the new best girl in the series.

I know, I'm basically complaining against ronpaulitshappening.gif
That's the way it reads to me. Since the airdates of episodes 11 and 12 are March 18 and 25, respectively -- CR clearly wanted to air them as a full hour-long block for subscribers (unlike how the Japanese TV stations did it), and episode 11 would be over 9 days old, but episode 12 would still be too recent for the normal free user one-week-wait rules.
I guess. The original character designer probably gets consulted, but as far as I know, every anime has its own character designer to adapt the designs to something more easily animated.
It was Little Busters (although whichever one it was probably isn't that important, lol). I wonder if Angel Beats would have ever gone to KyoAni considering it was an Aniplex original. Didn't PAWorks have significant investment in it as well?

I guess they figure since it is a really popular series.
Ah, I guess that would make sense.

Interesting, would there still be that strata within the animation studio if they're working on an adaptation of like a manga or something?
It's rather hard to get your feelings across with purely written word, don't you think?

Pet Girl 22
At this point, I guess I'm really the only one to blame for still watching this show. Fool me four times, then I deserved to be fooled. That's how that George W. Bush saying goes, right?
Just thinking about it for a moment, there's no reason why this couldn't have achieved pseudo-classic the status of Toradora (sorry jman, the ending is still way too Japanese). At the time - namely around the first four episodes - Kanda-kun was a decent, likable lead surrounded by a cast of somewhat interesting misfits. It's just too bad that the writer essentially had one good idea and recycled it four times. There is a point of diminishing returns when it comes to drama period, but when you use the same drama over and over again?
I mean, fucking hell, they let
. The other unfortunate side-effect is that the drama surrounding the Sakurasou itself is rendered meaningless by seeing the same drama played out over and over again. If the show doesn't even care, why should I? Even the Inn closing plot in HanaIro didn't have that many distractions and served as a way to actually set up the characters' end games.
At this point, I almost expect Sakurasou to be saved by some magical deus ex machina to be revealed in the last episode by virtue of the writer being creatively bankrupt. Or maybe this has been an extremely long con, that the last 16 episodes have been so poorly written because they wanted to lull me into a sense of brain dead complacency and that it turns out that they've been trapped in a video game for the last few years, doomed to repeat the same level over and over again, and that Pet Girl is actually set in the Sword Art Online universe... the show that bridges SAO and Accel World. It makes as much sense as anything the show has done so far anyway.

Aoyoma :Kanna herself, but given how this show ends up, I have to imagine she'll find a way to properly confess before the show ends properly

There are a few series where smutgaf meets animegaf, they're usually called "borderline hentai", Yosuga no Sora was similar in that sense.

Hidamari Sketch x ☆☆☆ 12 (rewatch - END)
Absolutely loved my rewatch of this, though it didn't dethrone x365 as my favorite season. The introduction of Nori and Nazuna and the more frequent appearance of supporting characters (especially Oyasan) do certainly bring some freshness to the show that was largely missing in the previous seasons. In the new freshman's case, I think they shine way more in xHoneycomb, but that's for a different day since that only finished airing last season.

You're right, I looked it up and its Little Busters.
I think KyoAni has shown with Chuuni that, for better or worse, they can do Key without actually licensing anything from Key.

Start was really good playing out as I had hoped and then with Andy being all dedicated and such to Hyoubu. I guess that is what I will miss out of this franchise just the two. Perhaps it could be extended into its own side spinoff series and get future sequels or something. Oh well. At least in this universe it seems no matter who one choose to support, BABEL, PANDRA, or even USEI, they all have just odd and bad backstories, still will go with hoping those aligned with Hyoubu are successful in their endeavour.

In most situations I find that developers with hot properties tend to rely on the strength of that IP and don't feel the need to deliver a fulfilling product. Just looking at the Accel World game makes me laugh.
Or conversely, the Persona 4 anime.

SAO is the ur bad show, the bad show to end bad shows. So everything must be born from SAO. So it is said!It's like every bad show has to recon itself into SAO somehow for you.
The worst part is that it's all my fault for putting up with the abuse, so I can't even be mad. Much like Mashiro herself, I suppose.
I'm not sure how I should interpret this gif. lol

Ok, DRAMA resolved.
I look forward to the next DRAMA for next episode just so it can get a giant resolution in the last episode.

Uniting the world through conquest is the stupidest plan of all time. Tell me again how well that really worked out for Napoleon. You cannot conquer the world. It doesn't work. Especially not if your military strength is FOUR MOBILE SUITS.
You know how they could've worked that? Showing Saji caught in the mess. Instead it's been Saji sitting on a couch with his overly attached girlfriend.
Wait wait wait. How do you dismiss Durandal's plan, when in the same post you've affirmed that it is essentially what Pretentious Being is aiming for in this show? I'm lost here. Oh, I don't disagree that Gauron is a better villain than Ezelcant (except for the fact that Ezelcant was the hero in AGE and Flit the villain), and certainly more entertaining than Durandal, but that's not the point. I've given the show plenty of space to breathe about this whole war orphan and royally evil mercenary deal. Been all over my posts, it has. The problem is that the guy is TOO Gauron. All he needs is the anguished declaration of love for Setsuna to cement it. I have no problem reusing similar conventions, I mean, it's Gundam, I accept space colonies and Char Clones and so on and so forth. I just ask that they not be so damn blatant.
No, no it was not. The plot was "Let's kill like, 20 guys and see if it stops war in areas." and the worst part is that it's worked from time to time. Which makes no sense. You don't get to just fly in, shoot twenty guys and intimidate people. That the combined military strength of the entire planet just lost because 3 more Gundams popped up ruins any credibility this story has. Not even Kira's Freedom got away with standing up to the entire military force of a world and winning.
No it isn't! What was Amuro, if not a child exploited by the Earth Forces for their war? What was Heero, if not a war-child exploited by the Barton Foundation for Operation Meteor? What was Kira, if not a child exploited by the Earth Forces for their war? Gundam is basically only about children being exploited for war. Just that most protagonists don't have the laughably asinine origin story of "Shot mommy and daddy because a man with a goatee said God said to do it."
That's precisely the point of drawing parallels. Except that one does it with wit, and the other does it with all the rhetorical skill of a junior high student. Why would I draw parallels on disparate matters? It makes no sense to compare The Big O and Azumanga Daioh because they're completely different. It makes sense to compare Full Metal Panic! and Gundam 00 because Gundam 00 makes pathetic attempts at replicating Full Metal Panic!'s story.
But weather behaves in one way, and people do not. You cannot say with any certainty at all that people will do x if you do y. You can say that in the past people have done x when subject to y, but the group today isn't the same as the group yesterday. It's unreliable, which makes her CONSTANT BITCHING when something ANYTHING goes awry, insufferable. This isn't how social science works. If I do a study of armed conflicts responding to armed interventions by a third party and conclude that it's likely that in any given case the two parties will both respond with hostility to the third, I shouldn't cry like a bitch when I'm wrong. I should go back and see what I overlooked, yeah, but Sumiragi's whining is ridiculous.
Besides, if 3 fucking Gundams can throw the entire combined strength of the world's military for a loop, tell me again why we need to plan ANYTHING?

But SAO sold several times more than Accel World, didn't it?
Perhaps the same could be said of all games.
But it gave us awesome comedy and Proswagonist. It's all good.

It demonstrated that some things don't work well outside of the game format.
It showed how lazy the adaptation was instead.

Can love bloom on the battlefield?
Fire Emblem says yes, as long as there is pie involved.
Oh thank god they turned them down and worked on Hyouka instead.
Sounds like I dodged a bullet by dropping this after 4 episodes.
@Corvo
Your 00 review post seem like you already determine to hate it from the start
I mean one silly thing that less than 10 second and its all that you mention in your one paragraph episode impression.
00 S1 was cool, its Wings copy, the gundam are sexy, the pacing was smooth, have Ali Al-Sachez, very easy to watch.

Was a little skeptical going in when the title revealed there was going to be a "two Honoka" plot (though two Honokas would be awesome), but I have to say, this was probably my favorite episode so far.
Props to Nagisa for figuring out something was up, though Poisonny kinda gave herself away. Her encounter with both Honokas on the train was great. Love how they tied it back to the episode where the two were feuding and read each others diaries. Also liked how nobody on the train noticed what was going on.
Then Poisonny really wasn't fucking around. She really kicked the crap out of them. And she even dodged a marble screw! It wasn't an automatic win button for once. They actually had to use the attack to their situation.
This show has kinda gotten into a nice rhythm for the most part. Hope Porun doesn't ruin it.
