I bet there's a lot of CG in it! lol
(So random action scenes then?Although I suppose Universal Soldier was a sequel to Blade Runner, so why not.)
Like you wouldn't believe!

Well it's a harem show, it's par for the course.
Well... I've never encountered it to this degree.

Isn't that the exception that proves the rule?

I can see why some would say Innocence might be a bit more ponderous and abstract anyway. lol
I guess I can check out the second movie sometime sooner rather than later.
And you know, the sad thing about SAO is that it's not even fun to #hatewatch anymore because it's slowly becoming the normal kind of bad. lol
(At least it has the same gender politics as a Sorkin show!)
Damn, you're so good with images. You sir are my hero.

And, as I'm sure you aware, the source material differs from both the TV series and the Movies because it contains more lesbian sex scenes featuring the Major. Masume Shirow is classy like that.
That's a fair point and perhaps I should rephrase my complaint. Maybe it's more of a presentation issue I have a problem with as the various terrible events felt like it was just escalation from the previous. Animal abuse->child abuse->rape->whatever else I'd forgotten. If the intent was to make me hate the situation as much as the main character, the job was done well and I reacted accordingly. It certainly affected me enough to cause me to take issue with it all however long after the fact.

I thought you'd like Kirito's "Strength is just an illusion here" line. They're trying to meet you halfway, firehawk!

Look, if you're the kind of person that's going to watch RKB based on what you've read in here than I assume you're already on some list.

Well part of the purpose of the show is to contrast Shu's relentless optimism with the harsh reality of the world. It's kind of like the Madoka of hot-blooded shounen shows.
Sounds like an SDBurton project!
But the loli.
The loli is irrelevant. Well... at least now she is.

Nah. It's pretty good.
But the loli.
Set the loli free, firehawk.

So you're a full convert now, in that you're going to watch it every week?
You liked it? I'm sort of.... shocked? I don't know what word to use. Fuck it.

This sounds like how I defended Elfen Lied.
I wouldn't say ridiculous. More like absolutely insanity.

And you like Pandora Hearts. We all have our vices. Of course I don't consider it a vice because I think it's legitimately good. Would have been in my top 10 last year if the first half was as good as the 2nd half.

Pretty much every element of that Angel Beats picture that contains a character is bad.

Isn't that a good thing?
If there's something significant happening in the game world every week, sure. I didn't watch ep13-14, but I watched parts of 15, and all of 16. It's all about how much game world there is, and right now it's kinda heavy!
Well, I'm not shocked that we have differing perspectives. I'm more shocked that you liked it cuz I haven't met many people who actually liked the show.

KyoAni also sucks sometimes.
I fixed that post for you.

In NTHT the theme of the work, which I suppose might be the horrors of war, ties smoothly into the characters, their actions, the story as a whole and the tone of the work.
In Elfen Lied the theme of the work, which I suppose might be the nature of humanity, ties into lolis walking around naked killing each other and occasionally urinating. It's crass and exploitative.

Ep 13 is pretty damn significant. Introduces a new mechanic.
It seems to be well rated in other places *cue animegaf scoffing at them because we're so much better than everyone else, amirite?
Hm... I guess I should talk to more people/visit more sites. I found the story fairly lackluster and the MC very annoying. Much like I do with Haru in AW.

In NTHT, the theme of the work is one contrivance after another.
In Elfen Lied, the theme of the work, the nature of humanity, ties into coping with loss, a display of innocence vs a harsh reality, and the juxtaposition of harmless appearances with incredibly dangerous, mentally unstable humanoid weapons of mass destruction.

Dude, brace yourself.
We've established before that what is significant to me in AW is not what is significant to you!

Probably should've stated this first. lol.

Good luck.
