The girl that Mako likes (or her father) being affiliated with the "enemy" was very expected.

And Toph taught her daughter like the boss she was!

some "not very sightly" CG mechs and man vs. mech fighting.

I liked the last episode better, this one felt too predictable for me, but at least we got some more Lin Beifong action.

Of course the best character has to be the problem one.Poor Reika But in the end it was worth it. Hope they win the game, and still curious how we get Aoto onto the team.

Is One Piece really that dense in content? I mean Monster covered roughly two chapters per episode.

obviously it'll be different depending on the chapter but generally they can probably fit in two or three chapters per episode.

I think normal arcs are fine but Marineford is a big no no. There was like 20 fights going on in the same chapter and all between important hyped characters

I don't think there is enough content per chapter to do 1:1 adaptation but that's just me. When I was watching some of the episodes that did this, I was always falling a sleep.

Yes, it's much better to trust the opinion of people who think that enjoying something automatically disqualifies someone from being able to rationally appraise that work.

Yes. With the exception of the Marineford arc where Oda only did 17 pages a bunch since his kid was just born, OP chapters are more often than not filled with content. It's probably near the top for weekly manga as far as popular series.

It's probably comparable to Monster, since IIRC it didn't have a big page count for a monthly series (it was monthly, right?)

Content per chapter isn't necessarily a fan thing. I mean some people might even call it a detriment.

That's a horrible idea and wouldn't work, it will come down to cutting out the funny character interactions,world building and sakuga.

Dragon ball z kai is blasphemy and inferior to the original.

Apparently it was published twice a month, at least the magazine was.

Content is content, whether it's all worth adapting is a different issue.

Erika-chan totally has the hots for Aoto-kun. Poor Shou-kun.

But, man... Real football animation, real football tactics... This is the good stuff. It's a complete pleasure to watch this show every week, much like Space Brothers. It never drags, the characters are fun, the OST is great. I couldn't ask for more.

Quote:
Reika-chan is still the best. I'm really looking forward to see how things will go for her. I hope her mother doesn't get in the way... Although that seems pretty unlikely.

And next we get the first real match. Can't wait.

haha so true. Just realized that pretty much all sakuga are technically 'filler' sequences in manga based animes.

Later One Piece chapters are definitely packed with content (earlier chapters not so much). There's not as much content as a chapter of something like Detective Conan, but it's definitely on the wordier side. You could get by with three chapters per episode for the earlier bits of One Piece, but you'd have a really hard time doing that with the later arcs.

Recaps to insight scenes for Oreki and Satoshi was good. Otherwise I thought for the most part it was rather suspenseful. I think I can safely take back my feelings on the case from last episode since apparently it was actually a violent protest riot even, firing the buildings, no wonder he was expelled. I really liked the music during much of the episode. Visual trickery was intense kind of brutal even.

Nope. He's let Urabe trample him underfoot (and not in the fetish way) for their entire relationship. He hasn't earned better.

This episode wraps up this arc of the story quite nicely. It's amazing how careful direction and lighting can make simple exposition and discussion scenes extremely intense and exciting. The animation and music also added to the greater sense of discovery as the secrets were finally unveiled. I'm glad this arc isn't going to be drawn out for the entirety of the show, 'cause there's only so far it could have been taken anyway.

Each episode gets better and better! Can't wait for next week! ^_^

What the fuck did I just watch. All I got was:
  • There's a war between seven dudes and their Digimon.
  • Waver's against Lamarckism.
  • Worm rape.
  • Rin's a tsundere.

On the plus side, the production values were impressive and the editing during the summoning scene was genuinely great. Why couldn't we go straight into that? I don't remember any of the other shit they discussed, so what's the point of the exposition dump?

Relatively surprised that they managed to close up the mystery or that they were able to get the information needed so easily. Visually, it still looks really good, the exposition was nicely done and it really did give a sense of what the storyteller was feeling at that time.

I do wonder what mystery will take over the show next week now.
