With the way youre hyping it up I hope its worth it, Theres nothing worst than being hyped for something and then the episode fails to meet expectations, unforgivable.

Man. Shoe sure reminds me of Yoshino in Tempest there... *cough*
You didnt like The Everlasting Guilty Crown? I like how Shu looked in it with his scarf and etc, and the music timed with his outfits was good.
What I meant to say was that I did. I liked it a lot, actually.

Look, I'm trying to talk shit about BONES here, give me some slack.
The many failures of Shou?

Symbolism! It actually works damn well in context. Everlasting is one of the best parts of the show.
That's how I change my clothes every day. you mean you don't?

Hayate no Gotoku, CAN'T TAKE MY EYES OFF HINAGIKU BECAUSE SHES THE BEST 01
First show I watched this season! I honestly had zero hype for this but this episode was quite enjoyable and rekindled my love for the parts of Hayate I liked
I prefer Hayate when it's not trying to totally be a slapstick comedy (because it's not all that good at it) and takes a more grounded approach.
Hayate is still a badass, Maria is still awesome, Nagi is still absolutely awful. New girl in this episode is literally just as terrible as Nagi and the ending makes it painfully obvious why.
Hopefully the rest of the cast comes into play immediately. I might drop this show if these two insufferable clowns don't go away.

and the crazy thing was Hinagiku wasn't even in this episode. NOT EVEN FOR ONE GOD DAMN SECOND. WHAT THE FUCK?

I would ask you why you are watching this crap, but I did the same a few months ago, so who am I to judge.
Show sucks though, probably the worst I ever watched.
The things I go through for yuri.
Hahaha!
I knew a ton of people watched that.
Some still haven't apparently recovered from it.
Hence my trepidation. I've only been mildly infected.
This is interesting -- any trace of To Love-Ru Darkness being streamed on The Anime Network has been wiped completely from their site; even the news announcement about it is gone. Maybe that early simulcast was an error after all, despite the site's own admin claiming "our simulcast will go out as planned, as we have had our release dates and hours approved by the licensors."
Shortly before it was erased entirely, the show's page did revert to what was probably supposed to be the original placeholder, with a simulcast time of October 5 at 9:00 PM EDT. I wonder what impact this could have on their continued streaming for the series.

Gintama 107
So badass.
Feels good to start watching Gintama again. If anything this episode basically showed how awesome Gin is.

The voice acting must be recognized as well especially Shu, Daryl, Kenji, and Gai.
I like the catgirl, at least so far.
But I haven't seen a lot as I said. Only 3 episodes. Not nearly enough to see it fall precipitously off the cliff.
Why the hell is Gai last?
Dammit Cajun! Die for the good of all that is AnimeGAF. Oh wait....
Hey, put me in that, man. I suffered through the whole thing, my name on a list is the least the world owes me.
The fact that such a list exists makes me want to watch this travesty so I can be on it. Stop tempting me like that!
And in that day,
Even Hito shall bow before the might of kawaii for the sake of kawaii.
FUCK. Why didn't I do this for SAO so people would watch it?! Same of AW! FUKKKKKKK
Wouldn't that just be a list of everyone posting in the anime thread?
Just make an SAO list, because I can be on that one. I need my list quota filled.

No.
Party pooper.
NO. All must suffer or be a heathen by enjoying - cosmicblizzard - the horror that is Guilty Crown.
You're already on a list Brazil.
There. The temptation of watching Guilty Crown is now lessened.
No. You've done a disservice by not making him watch Guilty Crown.
The massive destruction of animegaf is a daily thing cajun.
Not all of us have action-filled 12-hour shifts like yours!
Mine are boring as hell.
Its crazy as fuck at work still, but they separated us into different terminal areas finally, so when I get done with the stuff I have to do I have the occasional downtime to post and chill a bit. Its so much better for quality of life.
Too much cute in cajun's life. One cannot handle so much other than cajun.
But the later in the series you get, the more people who don't like it have already stopped watching it, so the numbers go up.にこらん? ニコ生『「TARI TARI」13話(最終回

With the added difficulty of being an ending episode, that obviously was seen as satisfying overall.
First episodes are challenging because all sorts of random people are watching it.
Although, in the case of Little Busters, anyone who doesn't like Key has already avoided it.
I dunno if that's true. animu is so full of hnnngh that it almost has to be purged to keep it balanced. Anyone exposed to anime for a lengthy period of time has to be conditioned to handle the cute. they would be dead otherwise. Unless they just stick to shounen or osmething.
Ah. That explains why I'm dead.
Tari Tari was pretty fucking good, especially because Sawa was in it. But I can understand Japan otaku liking it. It was a lot of fun, despite the sameface syndrome. why can't Sawa backflip in front of me?
Hell no. you have to ride that train into the grounnnndddddddd
From The New World 2
This episode isn't as immediately striking as the first. It's not bad by any means (it's still great IMO!) but it's not as atmospheric - they're not laying on the creepiness quite so thickly this week.
I'm impressed by how consistently thought through the major elements are and how the show makes it clear to the audience the way things work, even in the most subtle of ways - (don't read this spoiler until you've seen the episode)
.
We're also introduced to another major part of the storyline and one that brings Saki back into focus as the central character IMO. Without wishing to go into too much detail, I found this really interesting for linguistic reasons -
. I find the dialogue in this show pretty challenging to follow, but one of the more interesting things is the way that writing has changed in the future - we see more of this in this episode in particular, but you can particularly notice it in the title cards where the show's logo is smudged and corrupted so the kanji are distorted. I think it's all these little touches that make the show so interesting - a lot of attention has been paid to detail, both in the source material and in its adaptation.
If I have one disappointment, it's the music, which takes a bit of a tumble this week. It's not as terrible as I thought the music in Chuunibyou was but I think it weakens some of the earlier scenes in the episode.
Next week's episode should kick the story into high gear, but it's definitely living up to my expectations so far.
FWIW the ED is now included on the satellite broadast. It's a really fantastic ED sequence, probably one of my favourites.
EDIT TO ADD (sorry for long post) - there's a lot of CG in this episode. It's not great, but it's not terrible either. There's some pretty decent proper animation, though - although nothing as striking as the first episode's story sequence.

loved the shadow of the Nekodamashi following the "cheater" from the tournament

the Bakenezumi "click", but also speak in kind-of fragmented Japanese, so although the characters can't really understand them you get hints of what they're trying to say.

Pretty sure the ground is not the end destination.
