Incidentally, I started watching Ga-Rei Zero because I thought it would be like HSOTD but with ghosts.
Really? Unless it was edited I'm pretty sure there was a scene where she was slicing and dicing zombies in front of a temple and while she moved about there "glitter" flying about, which led her to declare that she was wet. :lol
It's been a long ass time but are you sure it wasn't just sweat? :lol
I really do have to hand it to the script in Zetsuen, the characters are really on my wavelength:
Sure.
Agreed.
Speaking of what doesn't make sense in Blast of Tempest, why does the protagonist have Yunos' hairclips in his hair?
Wishful thinking?

Erina was pretty moé though.
It's gonna suck real bad when this show bombs. Shit was manly and fabulous and probably twenty years too late.
Erina was pretty moé though.
And Danny. ;_;
Considering they had no problems having a VA shout that she's wet while killing undead, and having a psychotic teacher turn a bus into some orgy on wheels among other things, I don't think they'd have much to lose going that extra distance. :lol
Don't get me wrong, I really hope it was sweat.
I'm very well aware of what HSotD is capable of, but I don't remember this at all (and I don't want to bother actually checking it)!
Besides, the logistics of such a thing happening is like . . . Saeko is confirmed to wear underwear. :lol

It's Nichijou wackiness with what may be some self-reflexive commentary? Or maybe it's just Haganai (Waganai!) without the stupid harem stuff (or Yozora). Works for me so far... but man, it's no Hyouka.

You know, along with seeing shades of Ender's Game, for some reason this episode reminded me a little bit of Beasts of a Southern Wild as well. It was probably the
at the end. I still think the prologue/prelude thing is weird though.

Fuck YES.
Also, being a teacher is suffering!
Shaft's best show is back.
And now, all I need to do is catch up with the 5 episodes of Ginga I should probably watch. I just need to think of all the Kobayashi I've missed out on I suppose.

Oh shit. XD
But was Hyouka even itself at the beginning? I don't mean in terms of quality, but more to the audiences place, in relation to their own expectations. I mean, at least for me, it was hard to take from the first couple of episodes, exactly where (or how) it was going to play out.

I suppose that's true... I probably like the beginning of Hyouka retroactively. lol
Maybe Chuu2 will be awesome too!

You can quote me on this later on - I don't think Crazy Girl Anime will ever become an 'awesome show'.
I keep this handy on my desk for drinking fluids.
That's awesome.
I'm probably guilty of this too, which is why I'm so curious to watch Hyouka again. Because it was all about that character development, I can't imagine you'd approach it in the same way twice.
With Chuu2, I'd like a little more context before making any snap-judgments, although the opener did show promise. Once the rest of the main cast has been introduced, I think it's tone will be more apparent.
But with that said, I think that Hyouka was the exception rather than the rule!
Goddamn, this is a real product they sell. Amazing.I keep this handy on my desk for drinking fluids.

I want KyoAni to continue to have a perfect record post K-On though!
It feels like Chuu2 is being a lot more upfront about what it's about though. At least, based on the mini episode and the first episode anyway.
I keep this handy on my desk for drinking fluids.
haha, that is great.
It already has.
Hm, probably, and I am only going off the first episode.
I can see myself liking it, although that's largely dependent on how much they indulge Rikka's weirdness. Like I said in my initial impressions, she is a fine character as the crux for interesting character development(s) to occur, but if they use this as a platform for her to just do lots of weird and pandering shit, I'm not going to be all that interested.

Agreed, however the tone of Hyouka was clear from the very first episode and it was a tone that resonated with me even if I didn't care for the material itself. Similarly, the tone of Crazy Girl Anime is very apparent from it's first episode and it's one I don't really care for - it's clearly something that's pandering to a specific audience. As I said when I discussed the first episode, I don't think it's badly made in any way, I'm just not interested in that kind of show. It appears that when people are reacting negatively to the show they're reacting to it's premise, tone and characters - there's not interested in that kind of story being told in that particular manner.

I'm assuming she'll remind him of his childhood innocence while he'll remind her of reality and they'll have a mutually beneficial relationship as two outcasts coming together and being friends.
Or something. lol
Ginga 17
Oh yeah, that's why this show is better than Knight in the Area.
Also, I think it's amazing that the episode I come back to is a pure :firehawk episode.
Looks like I'm back on board assuming things work out anyway.

Incidentally, I started watching Ga-Rei Zero because I thought it would be like HSOTD but with ghosts.
I like HSOTD because of Saeko, but Ga-Rei Zero had a better plot and action. HSOTD doesn't seem to be concerned with logic, good taste, or continuity. It's basically Code Geass with torpedo tits and zombies.

Oh my.

Oh for fuck sakes! *throws hands up into the air* :lol
Hipster Girl is better nick for Chuu2byou.
Btw you guys ain't lying eps 1 of JoJo is good, I love the style that they add for give dramatic and exaggerating feeling to make up they can't make super exciting animation cut.
The best thing is still the voice acting that make the key moment so damn intense, Takehito Koyasu is just excellent fit for Dio.

That's exactly what I was looking for at the time. My body wasn't ready for what I actually got.
To quote an anonymous philosopher: I was prepared to fap, but I wasn't prepared to feel.

Wait a second, have Reinhard and Yang ever met in person to begin with? The amount of mancrush going on between both of them is astounding for such a long distance relationship.

The first screenshot is super creepy!
Maybe it's just the optimist (pessimist maybe, I'm not too sure), but I'm still completely not sold either way. I agree that you can glean enough from the first episode to know whether or not you're going to continue, but I still think it has the potential to undercut my own expectations.
I don't care for a series about someone showcasing their own selfish personality traits. But if its part of something that shines a light on those issues, specifically the effect it has on others around here, and how that's addressed, then I'm game. If it simply devolves into wacky shenanigans, nope. So I will continue for now, for the hope that it becomes the former, rather than the latter.
Looks nice as hell. Hopefully they release a direct feed trailer soon.

Noooo, you really should give this one another shot.
hoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooly shit. i really should start watching this show...
Every now and then it would be nice if you could explain to us plebians why these animators are as hype-worthy as you say they are. Not all of us have watched everything or paid attention to all the credits. In this case, a small bit of research shows that they were both heavily involved with Casshern Sins, but if that's the reason, it would be nicer if you could state that in the first place.
But Yamauchi sucks. I'm just drawing out his fans so I can mock them all at the same time!
Hayama is cool though. He worked on all the previous Jojo stuff (not the new one), and that one episode of X-Men! Too bad he's friends with Yamashitty.
