Watching Eva for the first time.

Question about something that happened in episode 16:

Why was everyone so horrified that he popped out of the angel? I know it was supposed to be out of power, and that it wasn't really expected, but I feel like I'm missing something.

Was it the sight of the eva emerging with blood pouring out?

I didn't know crunchyroll had idolm@ster. Well that certainly makes things easier, and nope it's loading just fine for me. Although they always have problems.

ex.


Also I see they're going to start things off without showing kung-fu tomboy girl first. Instead I get greeted with this girl with a shit eating grin.

BGBW gonna wreck you

needs more Makoto definitely

It's been a while,
but it went berserk and was howling right? Don't think Asuka had ever seen a berserk Eva.

They (Misato, Asuka, and Ristuko) basically lay it out during that whole scene.

Edit: Also what MetroidPrimeRib says. That's basically what they talk about.

You're just having all sorts of problems today aren'tcha.

Seriously lol. My internet must be mad at me from all the games I've downloaded recently :-/.

It's amazing how Renton is able to continuously stumble across really nice people
when he's by himself.

This was a nice, calming episode. Though I assume that it's meant to prepare me for the next one, which people have said is like, the best thing in this entire show.

Time to see if it lives up to the hype.

Yeah, episode 1 was certainly a hiccup. It's starting to look interesting. I really enjoy how we see what's going on the enemy side and how they operate.

This week's running gag.

Can't remember the last time I saw a background like this. Been a while but always felt like they got away from this look as the show went on.

Surprised Sailor Star Fighter's transformation involved an actual gender swap. Assumed cross-dressing for a while given I never really saw the designs close enough to discern any great difference. This ep made it abundantly clear that wasn't the case even before the actual transformation.

Also liked how this ep reminded me of SuperS in that the episode really didn't focus on the regular cast but one of the new members. I mean, Sailor Moon still does her thing but they felt like they were there mostly to facilitate Seiya's story much like they did Chibiusa's in SuperS.
 
You people are crazy how could you confuse a lion with a cat?

Girls und Panzer Kore ga Hontou no Anzio-sen Desu!

More Girls und Panzer is always a great thing not to mention the Italians are now tied with the Russians as my favorite team now.
 

Persona 4 Golden 2

Opening: As expected, the song is nice.
Ending: I like it more than the OP and pretty much every other ED I watched from this season so far.

Swag king Yu may be on NG+, but not even he can deal with double/triple booking curse on the same day.

And Marie is so cute.

Gonna need to get myself a defibrillator if she starts blushing like that more frequently.
 
Eureka Seven - 26

In all honesty, I was expecting more.

As mecha anime goes, this one qualifies as
"The hero's epic comeback episode"

I can understand that a lot of people like this episode for being just that, but I've seen this thing happen in other anime much better with other characters. Noriko had a better one. Simon had a better one.

That's not to say this episode was bad. No sir. I just wanted more of a "WOW" moment.

But there's still the other half of the show to go, so I might still get that.

Pretty awesome anime day with Resonance in Tokyo, Tokyo Ghoul, and P4GA. After the fairly awesome action-wise first episode of P4, I wasn't expecting to laugh throughout the entire second episode. Yu having a legit personality and being a "schedule freak/perfectionist" is just awesome. It's literally like he's playing his own life like a video game.

Resonance in Tokyo was just top notch. Not much else to say besides: THE anime of summer, so far. Hunter x Hunter excluded.

I said it earlier it is not the best ending, because you really need to see the ending for Barakamon. Trust me I'm a big fan of Persona but it's ending is not the best, maybe second or third best.

I'm actually somewhat surprised that people liked the 2nd episode of Terror in Resonance. So much of it is info dumping and solving a basic riddle.

Pffft. The reason you think that Renton's awesome moment isn't up to Noriko and Simon's awesome moment snuffs is because this isn't even Renton's awesome moment yet.

Renton's GAR moment is in the final bunch.

That said, it's a better moment than Noriko or Simon's.
