Can Midori stop being such a cockblock? It's more annoying than it is endearing.

[Neon Genesis Evangelion] - 8-10

Apart from Asuka's introduction, nothing much has really happened. In which case, I guess these past few episodes could be lazily classed as filler. Though, so long as that includes synchronized dancing robots, it's fine by me! But in all seriousness, it has gone some way into establishing the dichotomy between the three pilots. Asuka being brash and somewhat arrogant. Shinji is, well, Shinji, and Rei doesn't seem to really care much about any of it. That said, I would be shocked if some sort of triangle doesn't occur at some point. A real weird one, but one nonetheless.[...]

Son, you can't be describing the introduction of Asuka and her interactions with the cast as filler! Evangelion is a character study, after all (right?) and so to have a meaningful character study you need characters that change up the dynamic. There aren't any episodes in Evangelion that actually qualify as filler however there are parts of episodes which are largely composed of flashbacks (this becomes more noticeable and problematic as the series progresses, just like in Nadia) that don't add anything to the story.

I know! And I admit that I was being a little facetious there. I generally prefer the more static moments, truth be told.

They're presented in the way the characters view them. Either way, it's not a problem with the direction.

I didn't say it was bad, in fact I enjoyed the directing at times as it helped make up for the mundane material. However I could easily see that perspective that the director wanted to do something more grandiose.

Hey an awesome bit of action... followed by a bunch of words? smfh I don't give a shit about any of this.
Holy fuck at Sinbad though. Now that's what I'm talking about.
/swoon

Also for all the shit the sound direction rightfully deserves, I do like the sound effect associated with the Rukh. It really fits the associated swarming visual. Of course I typed that before seeing the credits and now the Rukh creep me out like those red birds in Windaria.

But he picked the material himself.

We should be far enough into the season that most people have probably finished adding/dropping shows and by now have a complete schedule (with the exception of DokiDoki, but whatever).

How many shows are you all watching on a weekly basis? If you're participating in a backlog season and watching older shows weekly, count those too.

13 normal shows and 2 short shows here.

I actually think I'm not watching anything from this season....

I was just about to link the second video myself; I still remember how that scene came to be: originally Yoshida was going to do traditional character animation but Imaishi found that boring and decided to give him complex mecha action to get him out of his confort zone.

Yeah, given his Ghibli background, I wonder how he felt working on that cut.

Cwarrior, That Pom Poko scene alone elevates him to legendary status. Everything else is just icing.

I'm on the exact same amount of airing shows after dropping Sasami-san and picking up Mondaiji-tachi and GJ-bu. Other than that I've been doing the usual watch of two other shows while I watch airing shows (right now it's Gintama and Texhnolyze).

The bird and Kanna are the most entertaining characters of the ensemble. Seems the island prince arc will start next week.

Well good call on his part. If that's what Yoshida is capable of when doing mecha scenes, then by god he should do more.


I also wonder how people figure out who worked on specific scenes. Are there credits that list who worked on which timeframes? That's something I'm really curious about. That said, holy shit at that second link. He really is topnotch. I mostly think about his distinctive character designs but he really can animate. I don't think he did the mecha scenes though in 14 judging by 7th's comment.

Oh my gawwwwd... everyone is hanging on this dude's dick so hard. There is literally nothing special about him, and he isn't good enough to get away with what he's trying to pull. Absolutely zero planning of forethought whatsoever. And now this? Dude, it's so easy. CALL KATSURA. You are never gonna smang it. You don't even want to at this point. What the fuck is your problem?! I can't support you any more...

That was the worst part. What truly makes him the biggest piece of shit in the history of not just anime but all entertainment ever wasn't just that he was lying to Kotonoha and stringing her along, it's that the only reason he did was because he was too much of a pathetic weasel coward to face her and break it off with her for good. What a piece of shit. Fuck Makoto. Where's that burning Makoto gif when you need it?

I get the feeling he's not that much into animation anymore. He obviously likes to diversify. Even in AO he was pretty hands off, save for some key scenes (mostly doing character designs and promo art work otherwise). Personally though, more than him being involved in animation I would like to see him work as a character designer for more shows. Like, G-Reko, or Space Dandy. Whatever really, just get him onto it.

Basically the same as what what I posted here,
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=46871277&postcount=3246
except I'm sorta also watching Puchimas when I happen to remember, and continuing Magi from last season.

So 7 full-size, 2 short.
