Apparently it will be a different route than the one FSN was originally based on, plus a more capable studio. Could be pretty good.

It's a great story I'd say if done well The issue is it's mostly about character introspection and deconstruction with a heck of a lot of internal monloguing (the movie had no chance in hell of adapting it properly). A lot of extremely important points are revealed through this which is the biggest question mark over this adaptation. Whether they'll bother to do that or leave it out.

Fate/Zero - 22

First of all, Rider still proves to be the best in this show.

Second of all, WAT.

So Iri is dead now, and she's inside the Holy Grail? What the hell was up with those last 5 minutes? That looked like something one'd see out of Evangelion or something.

Final battles start soon, and this show is looking like it's going to go in a VERY strange direction.

The show is a prequel It's written under the assumption you've read original (which is a VN that hasn't fully been adapted yet). Which is why the end will be fairly strange for anyone that didn't read it, since it's all explained in the VN it assumed you read (this was a LN written years after the VN was released the VN is 10 years old).
 
Ei Aoki is the greatest director of all time. I feel so vindicated. I'm just going to lie back and let his infinite grace wash over me. SOOOOOOOOO GOOD.
Even better than Michael Bay?!

Aldnoah isn't weirdly entertaining or shockingly bad. It's just bad.

I...I knew Rider was going to die in this show. I mean, spoilers we're everywhere on here, so I could see it coming. But...what a way to go out. He didn't even SCRATCH Archer. Not a single hit, or even a frightened reaction from him.

We spent the equivalent of two episodes in that cave. I like how the show doesn't even bother trying to explain why Kirito has superpowers now.

Desu Gun's dialogue is 200% improved if you imagine his voice being Professor Frink's behind the filter.

I honestly thought that, compared to every other death in the series, that Rider's was the most "noble" way to go. Both sides fully respected each other and were willing to use their capabilities to the fullest to basically just have the king's fight they wanted earlier. It's not like Rider thought he would win, it was a very clearly one sided fight, but he still decided to stay. Thinking of deaths like Lancer's, was Rider's death really that bad?

Plot is moving forward at a great pace. I wish the battle sequences were more elaborate. So far all of them have been one attack wins the fight.

I'm not sure why we need to know or care about your name desu gun.

Aldnoah.Zero 12
Good conclusion to an otherwise boring anime. Will watch second part to see if the ending goes anywhere.
 
Berserk - 01

Damn, this is right up my alley. So we have our main character who I assume has made some pact with demons to empower himself, and goes around killing other demons living among humans. Also looking for some guy name Grifith?
That crossbow did most of the work this time, Im eagerly awaiting more sword action

Yup, thats blood alright
 
didn't know Nintendoman was watching one of my favorite anime.

Good. Good. Let the Fate Zero consume you.


edit: you shouldnt watch berserk unless you're willing to read the manga afterwards. That cliffhanger.

Great series. When you finish it, look up the outtakes on youtube because they are hilarious and well worth your time.

Saw this webM of Saber vs Lancer in the new FSN anime (26s no idea where the dude got the source longer than both the CM and PV) animations seems like large improve and they seem to have the sense of speed implied in the VN.

It's from some concept footage or something early in the summer. Yea FSN looks a shitload better in the movement stuff than F/Z. The Lancer vs Archer stuff looks fantastic too.

Must of completely missed it through yeah the Archer fight should be great.

With all the K&B being destroyed. Berserker should be good too

Never watched the show series but I did watch the 3 part movie series.

Was very good, too bad Berserk takes forever to update.

Thinking about starting Jormungand, but I'm unsure whether to go with the sub or the dub. I tend to lean towards subs, unless the dub is well-made (like in the case of Black Lagoon).

Tried Texhnolyze, but got hit by a heavy-duty dose of Darkness-Induced Audience Apathy by episode 7. Not to mention that the narrative is so disjointed.

They'd have to pad things out even worse than in the 1st season if they made it right now.

25 episodes sometime next year sounds about right.

Yeah I just took a look at the manga to see what has happened since the end of S1. They definitely need more content or the pacing will be worse than S1.
 
SHONEN HOLLYWOOD –HOLLY STAGE FOR 49- Episode 12 Hello, World

So many good songs today, the trio of Tommy, Kira, and Shun is the best song followed, by Tommy's solo, and then the song with Kakeru and Makki duo. Hello World for the best song with all five, I was so glad at the full version playing live that they did and then their individual portions of it. So intense when they got to THAT part. I wonder what they will do in the final episode, hopefully back to back full versions of all these shows on stage.

Sub, dub makes one of the key characters sound way too aged.

At least Gil took Iskandar seriously. That means a lot. He only uses Ea on opponents he believes are worthy of his most precious treasure.

Hell, he even spared Waver after saying he wasn't Rider's master, he was his loyal servant.

That shows how great was Iskandar, The King of Conquerors.
 
Aldnoah Zero - 12

The fucking characters in Aldnoah Zero just keep doing crap contrary to their motivations. Like, why the heck is this Saazbaum so determined to fuck over earth and the one innocent royal member? They give us the motivation for it in an episode and it's like...no wait, why would you even want to attack earth then?

But worse, why in the world would Slaine save him? He knew he wanted to kill the princess and thanks to Slaine he proceeds to do just that. Like how fucking stupid is this? Talk about some forced tragedy in the end there.

Huh? What did I say? Did I screw up again? :(
Captain Earth - 25

I'm think I enjoyed that ending. I think I'm satisfied. Honestly, I'm not sure anymore. After watching Aldnoah, everything seems better and I'm having a hard time establishing what relative normalcy is.
So all the planetary gear crew are just normal human beings now. Amolock can spend the next 85 years of his mortal life boning pink hair girl to discover what being human really means. How romantic <3

But worse, why in the world would Slaine save him? He knew he wanted to kill the princess and thanks to Slaine he proceeds to do just that. Like how fucking stupid is this? Talk about some forced tragedy in the end there.

The short answer: Slain's idiocy is a reflection of the talent of the writer.

Ufotable really goes overboard with the digital effects. I don't know why they feel the need to obscure the image to that degree either since they have good traditional animators.

Cool. Haha, fucking Bones. They even aped
the bride-carry kiss
from Eureka 7 into this. Lots of explosions. Looked nice. Plot had lulz.
Could have gotten used to white hair PLOT Hana
.

I wonder if we'll see a follow-up episode / OVA considering
Amara just left
we still haven't resolved the all-important love drama of
Kube and assistant-tan
!

Yeah, something that bugs me about many anime finales is that they leave hardly any time for denouement. To an extent this is ameliorated by OVA episodes, but those take a long time to come out.
