D'oh!
I don't think that encounter counts as the Davy Back Fight in the anime does it? Pretty sure it happens after some random filler arc instead.
Davy Back is worth watching for the ball episode anyway.

Ahhh, okay. How involved was it in the grand scheme of things? For all the talk of the fake anime in Akibaranger, they never actually showed the anime in question for any length of time. lol
Those rations!

Thought that the event in question occurred on Longring Longland so it was still considered Davy Back Fight. Maybe I am forgetting an anime filler arc or something, though.
I couldn't say, I got behind on episodes at one point and decided to just skip to the end and was confused as to who these random villagers being helped were.

Fucking Hawaii.
Hawaii is only one letter away from Kawaii; coincidence or devious Illuminati plot?

At this rate, we really are going to end up with a sub-1000 vote total final match... I can understand why they limit foreign votes (even though it's stupid), but looking at Biglobe polls, there's certainly more than a couple hundred otaku in Japan willing to vote on stuff like this, so where is everyone?
Anyway.

You are. I'm not sure if it still happened on Longring Longland, but the Davy Back Fight arc ended, then there was filler, then the event in question happened.

Poor kid.
That wasn't a bad episode. Had good jokes, decent pacing and didn't drag too long on the sentimental parts. I did enjoy the bonus skits that they are using in order to kill time as well.

I like the way that you don't attribute any shows to Shinbo.

I'm not sure how I feel about the Coach and Acting Principal being the sports-series equivalent of cackling villains whose evil knows no bounds (for a sports show). The other sports show that I've watched largely had 'honourable opponents' (Ippo) rather than 'baddies' which is kind of what I expected here.
As usual, the pacing in this show is extremely solid even without much actual progression on the character-front. They've done a good job actually making me feel the time that has passed in the story. Compare and contrast with something like Sword Art Online where months (years?) have gone by and I don't really 'feel' that it's been more than a couple of weeks. Simply throwing a date-stamp on a scene isn't enough to capture the flow of time. That's just being lazy.

Will it be about cute girls doing pointless things again? Can this studio even do something different anymore? The only thing I see here is K-On art.
Where's the Kyoani from Air, Clannad, Kanon, FMP?
I for one am glad they've moved on from KEY junk.
Hyouka just finished airing, I don't know what you've been watching.
You clearly missed their last two shows.
I didn't like the artstyle. What are they about?
I've been watching:
Oda Nobuna - Great, even though I don't understand anything.
SOA and Accel World - I think they are great for my shonen fix of the season.
Binbougami Ga - I don't like how much drama some episodes have, but the humour is pretty solid, most of the time. The parodies are great too.
Campione and Arcana Famiglia - Crap. I have watched most of the episodes and I was far in to drop them.
After K-On (actually I felt burned after Lucky Star), I felt burned of the artstyle.

It's a good thing that it's not in 3D.
Nichijou is a comedy show which doesn't look like K-On one bit.
Hyouka is a lite mystery/SOL staring a mixed sex school and some of the best visuals of the last two seasons.
Neither of them are K-On v2.

It's like Eisu man.
Hyouka kinda is, except much better.
You guys really don't want to know how much I spent in total going to see Tiger & Bunny...

That's true, except in that show it was pretty clear that the Coach was just being a massive dick because it would ultimately benefit the players where as in this show he's like an actual bad guy whose really looking to further his own career. Still, it doesn't really bother me (at the moment).

Yep, it's Shaft. Staff, voice cast, strong LN and it looks like they will adapt Hidari's character designs. I'm hyped.
Both of them have artstyles that I just can't take seriously (Nichijou specially). The premise of Hyouka interested me though, maybe I'll give it a chance.

Well now you've got tell us.
How about noooooooooh~
They're all equally terribad, with the leader being the least worse.

I understand that it's really hard to pick-apart a subjective reaction to an art style but I'd be really interested to know why you felt that way about Nichijou and Hyouka. I don't mean this in a negative way, you could just say that I am curious.

I preferred Clannad in every possible way over Hyouka. The latter being the worst KyoAni show I have watched.
Would love to see them do another KEY adaptation.

I'm certain there are plenty of people who hold that view, although in this case Maedhros hasn't even watched Hyouka.
I imagine that everyone is demoralized by the Saki fanboy conspiracy.
Okay, that clears things up. I skipped the Ocean's Dream arc, and apparently the filler arc caused there to be some differences between how the manga and anime handled the event--
in the manga, the confrontation does indeed happen on Longring Longland after Aokiji creates an ice bridge for Tonjit to leave the island. In the anime, it happens on a random island after Ocean's Dream.
How can you be down on Hyouka's designs while longing for the days of KEYani?
I mean good god.
Yes we're all curious.
I dunno, they just look the same to me, I don't know if they are made by the same artist or what, but they resemble each other so much, specially the hands. At least, with the others, I could see the differences, I don't know.
Even Suzumiya had different artstyle on it's "first" season and the new episodes, it felt... bad actually.
And the Key animes at least had good drama/plot IMO. Kanon 2002 was ok, IMO. IF they could remake Air too, I agree it looks outdated.
That reminds me that I was shocked to learn we actually have a term for that: "hebephrenia".
That's like...the opposite reaction of what you're supposed to have.
I hated the artstyle in Amneisa. Overabundance of shadows and some of the color saturation was really ugly. The character designs were also a serious stepdown from the manga. Then the opening episode of Amnesia is quite possibly the worst pilot episode I've ever seen.

with or without Amnesia staff, Sasami-san will not look like Dusk Maiden or we have a new prime example of missing the point.

If I was Kaijura, I'd probably phone it in, too. "Oh, so just because I did .hack I'm now the MMO animu music chick?"
lol, there are a couple of pieces that sound similar to the stuff in SAO but the rest is definitely a notch ahead. Also the theme for SAO is nowhere near as memorable. You Are My King, Silver Moon, and The Sword of the Promised Victory take a massive shit over everything in SAO.
From what I remember from the previously on section the events are more or less the same
Only Aokiji builds a bridge for the villagers from the filler arc so they can move island or whatever. I don't even remember how Tonjit gets off the island in the anime, stilts or freak tide I guess.
I think I actually liked the Ocean's Dream arc, it wasn't G8-level filler, but still enjoyable. It was also a video game adaption which was somewhat interesting.
Yeah, the actual events don't differ all that much, only their location is different.
I actually own the PS1 game that Ocean's Dream was adapted from, but I obviously can't play it so I just keep it around as a curiosity, hahah.
