Ohohoho that line at the end. Interesting.
While the conclusion seemed a bit... abrupt, I liked this arc. Probably my favorite one out of the bunch. The melodrama felt just right and I thought each character handled the situations presented to them rather convincingly through out these few episodes. Still iffy on Heartseed especially with how
. I felt like each main character, even Aoki, had some significance to this arc which I appreciated. All in all, I'm still enjoying this show for what it's worth. Still one of my favorite shows to come out of the summer season though can't say for sure if it'll end up being a favorite by the end of the year.

easily he seemed to 'fix' everything regarding #2

I know. I'm just saying that it was sort of a weird insert by you. I'm so lost now....
I can't fucking read apparently. Fuck.
I was trying to expand the conversation.

Wait, I thought you enjoyed From the New World.
They are simply gelatinous that Asuna gets all dat glop.
Honestly, the rise of the SAO OT does not seem to have redirected discussion much.
I would say it wasn't very effective. I'll continue it regardless and say that I've never seen LOST.
[Giant Robo: The Day The Earth Stood Still]: 1 - 4
Yeah, this is still pretty great.
TOGETHER! ALLEGIANCE OR DEATH! BIG FIRE!
There was nothing wrong with the first season of Lost.
We have to go back, kayos.
Go back? Where? When? Uh... am I even asking the right questions...
WE HAVE TO GO BACK
From the New World 1
Wow, this was a really impressive first episode on all counts. In fact one of the best I've seen in quite some time. Others have already touched on a couple really great things about this episode, the non linear storytelling, the quality of direction, etc, but one thing I found really engrossing about it was the incredibly oppressive atmosphere present throughout the episode. All parts of the production really tie into this feeling of unease and uncertainty with what is happening. The music, the direction, the art(I particularly liked what they were doing with the varying color usage), all work together in cohesion. I was completely hooked into all the details as the episode progressed. The episode peels away some small layers of the story and characters, and all the while the audience is really left in this state of suspense. Everything felt very mysterious, it really gets you into the mindset of Saki in terms of how she felt and what she was thinking. I really like what they were doing with the myths and rumors being passed around as well, they really tied into what was going on in the episode. The bridge one was particularly neat as the switched up the art and animations style for that section.
Really lived up to my hype for it. Absolutely can't wait to see more.

I said DAMN.
Yes, damn is definitely what I just said.
I. AM. SO. FUCKING. CONFUSED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Seriously. I am.
From The New World #1 - Loved the opening, the direction did a good job of executing the unsettling mood it was aiming for. Will be interesting if we see more sequences similar in tone to that, later on in the series, because it's easily my favorite scene in the episode.
Rest of the episode was pretty damn good too, I'm liking the mix of supernatural and science-fiction in it's world-building, and it's portrayal of religion gives me off a sense of superstition in a number of the events, there's clearly something "off" going on here. In fact the sense of mystery is very strong, and while I'm not particularly invested in the characters so far yet, I'm very intrigued on what exactly is going on with the "plot" at this stage.
I do like how the majority of the cast are children though, while the series itself appears to have a very "adult" tone in it's presentation.
Aside from that, the overall direction, animation, and the character designs are all very solid. This definitely has the making of something special as far as anime goes, and I'm really excited about where it goes next in the coming weeks!
Tsuritama might have some competition for AOTY 2012.

If you've watched Lost you should get the reference.
*hugs Kayos and pats him on the head
Oh. Well... that explains why I didn't get it.
You need more culture in your life.. not that LOST is the pinnacle of western culture.. but yeah.

Sweet lord I need to get caught up on this show.
Giant Robo 1-4
Explosions. Giant robots. Epic music. Scores of faceless redshirts. Ridiculously genius scientists both good and bad. Incredible unexplained superpowers. Noble sacrifices. Plot twists.
What more could you possibly want? Really good direction? Well, you're covered there too.
Awesome stuff.

A really fun watch.
R.I.P. Taisou and Youshi. Two coupled soldiers that fell while protecting what meant most to them.
A really fun watch.

So just so you don't forget, emo boy is done.
Back to the other less important fights.
Jobbers plus Ruika discover the enemy counts from zero instead of one like crazy folks.
Everyone else has difficulties with their own fights but of course has time to fully explain something if the need ever arises. Can't have uninformed viewers now!

Two players. Two sides. One is light, one is dark.
Wait.... What?

Yeah, this is something that isn't entirely obvious, especially given the title. Non-mecha fans may well go "I don't really like robot shows, so I wont watch this" but in reality robot action takes up about 2% of the whole OVA series.

Those cuts on Locke's face look incredibly fake.

Yea this was different than what I was expecting.
. Anyway I'm not wholly impressed so far, although the editing in the intro section was indeed very sharp. I actually didn't have a problem with the terminology and I thought the show has been pretty easy to follow.

A 1000 years into the future and the show still takes place at a school
It's certainly not a
normal school
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLT
Who's Walt? Am I supposed to know this guy?
Check out these Magi pro cosplayers from earlier today:
Coolio. I can make a really bad joke about cosplaying as a character from Magi, but that'd be in bad taste. And I'd get banned. Again.
lol no Judal.Check out these Magi pro cosplayers from earlier today:
Don't worry, it's not like the show remembered him either, lol.

There's no way our little mascot could be that banned.

Pretty good. I like the direction of this episode much more than the original series. Hopefully it will remain as good and not turn into something similar to the show (although it wouldn't be as bad as the show turning into something boring).
The CG wasn't bad actually, especially during the action. It was when stuff slowed down that the ugliness would appear, but what are you gonna do.

With the sale discount I can't think of any reason not to pick this up: http://www.rightstuf.com/1-800-338-6827/catalogmgr/Lx2z6LFWhUMrB2dEtH/browse/item/96150/4/0/0
I second that emotion.
Hm quite tempting.
