Terror in Resonance 1-2
As a surprise, Funi presented the premiere of the second episode as well as the first. Which was awesome, because it was hellish trying to get the first episode to play at all. The file kept getting corrupted mid-episode with the PS3 prompt and everything. It might have been more funny if I hadn't waited close to two hours in the boiling sun to see it. They even began with a special message from Watanabe where he explained that the project was something he's wanted to do for a long time. He also said he hopes people can take in Space Dandy and Terror in Resonance seperately since they're so different in tone. Probably said to prepare anyone who was going in just because of Space Dandy. After the presentation, the Funi rep (Justin) said that the second episode was prepared early for that screening alone, and that they had "sleepless nights for a week" as a result. They also had a camera setup for people to give their impressions of the episodes to be sent directly to Watanabe and the production staff.
I have a lot to say about what I saw, but i'd rather do so when i'm not on my phone. I will say the OP was pretty good-- felt 100% like the Kids on the Slope opening which isn't a bad thing. Directed by Koike, the ED was definitely the highlight of the two. Seriously beautiful with a haunting tune (though that description might be on account of the huge sound system).

Oh and I forgot, I want to apologize to Jarmel because episode 1 of Aldnoah Zero was in fact written by the Butch! Gawd dyamn!
He's handling the script for the first three episodes I hear.

At least give us a thumbs up or down
Don't do it, mature. That's like giving it a 10 or a 0!

Worst thing about this is still speaking of Kayaba sympathetically to the point of giving him enough respect to call him "sensei". Fuckin bullshit.
You underestimate your own Gary Stuitude.

If the anime industry really cared about its fans it would put Kirito-kun and onii-sama in a closed room with a comically misshapen carrot and a talking sassy salmon, told them that they're both poisoned and that the survivor would get the antidote and just animated the encounter. Not even Goku could step into that shit and survive.

I think this arc will finish in two or three episodes than they have eight episodes for the next major arc (or covering up to the end of v7).
Hey Onii-sama seems alright. Can't help Kirito though
Does the next major arc have family back story (his aunt especially)?

I'm surprised Theonik hasn't watched SAO2 and mentioned the blatant in-your-entire-screen butt scene.

If it gets a season 2 then that could be covered.

I need my review score, man.
If I recall, that dude worked under him in research.
You're not wrong though. And it comes up again next arc.

This is by far, the worst thing you've ever said.
Toei worst studio
I'm glad that I'm not the only person who bought this! The disc art is pretty great, eh?
Oh shoot, I should probably pick this up. Or maybe Yamato...
It'll join the shelf of shame (stuff I've bought but not watched since joining animegaf) unopened until the bluray player is fixed lol

You just don't know how much unopen sets I have.
I'd do Yamato first because of the limited-ness. Aku no Hana is great too, but you gotta prioritize by availability.
Edit: Oh yeah, time for me to order BD Vol. 4.
And episode 2, and episode 3...Oh and I forgot, I want to apologize to Jarmel because episode 1 of Aldnoah Zero was in fact written by the Butch! Gawd dyamn!
Nice Patlabor boxes there! Are those DVDs or BDs?
Good thing I never bought the DVDs. Railgun and Index are coming out on Bluray and they are also putting out the movie.

This would actually be worth seeing.

This was okay, thought this was suppose to be about
, so I am not too sure where this is going.
I don't like the little girl, seems a bit too Manic Pixie Dream Girl for me.
This was okay, thought this was suppose to be about
healing the MC, but that was all done in a episode

That's a steal! Great find.
Also, great news about Index/Railgun coming to Blu-ray. Might pick up Railgun S on Blu-Ray when it comes out.
I have a similar stack
STOP RELEASING DVD SETS COMPANIES
At least I watched those dvds...
Im gonna have to seriously consider doing a dvd sale.
I grab those as well. They were surprisingly heavy.

If you have Geneon's DVDs of Paradise Kiss, I'll gladly buy them!

I assume the rest of the show will be about
the lead learning to let go of his issues, become more open, and do a new calligraphy style. But I wouldn't be surprised if it's a show just full of calm happiness. No drama.
This looks like my new One Week Friends. With less fedora tipping.
How does Nasa organize a space themed party?
They simply PLANET.

I wish I could comment on ToR but I was stuck waiting to order next year's AX premiere badge for five hours.
At least I have Gen Urobuchi's autograph.
