Yes it totally is. Very intriguing show to watch, although like Paprika, I think Kon took the ending too far in the mindfuck direction. It is a very unique show though.
So good. So awesome. It's a visual tour de force that never wastes a single cut or a single second. They know that it's a short film with limited runtime, so Yoh Yoshinari packed something interesting in every single scene. It's simple but entertaining, short but sweet, and oh so magical. If this is the true power of Trigger, then Imaishi is going to have really high expectations to meet when he unveils his TV series in May! Om nom nom nom.
Funi also I guess mentioned the release window of some of their other stuff as well:
Lupin the Third The woman called fujiko mine: Summer 2013 (No month but July as tossed out)
Sankarea: Fall 2013
The Future Diary: Summer 2013
Fairy Tail Season 2: July
Fairy Tail Movie: Winter 2013
One Piece season 5 eps 264-336 late summer 2013
One Piece: Strong World: Winter 2013
I don't think it's possible for me to say anything bad about this show so I'm not even going to try. I always like it, even when it's silly so I can't really tell whether an episode is bad because I love every one of them.
Maoyuu 12 END
Garbage
Zetsuen no tempest 24 END
General tone went to the shitter in the second half. Revelations out of nowhere, time travel without dealing with any of the issues that it presents, destruction of any semi-decent female characters and a new character that didn't fit at all.
Tamako Market 12 END
Weak finale to an otherwise good show. I rather enjoyed it's view of a paradisical market community.
From the New World 24+25 END
Decided to watch the last two together. Was impressed with how nicely they wrapped things up. Made me think a lot more highly of the show in general but when I look back to it's failings I can't help but be dissapointed at where it went so badly wrong at points.
Girls und Panzer 11+12 END
Truly Godlike. Incredible, incredible, incredible. A real final boss feel with the Maus, the tension turned up to 11 (even though you knew
Ourai
would obviously win), and the final showdown to end the tournament. Made Tank warfare seem extremely fun and I won't be surprised if there is a whole heap of copycats trying to emulate the genius that went into the show. Shout out to the director for ensuring no panty shots ruined it!
I liked this episode. Suzuhara showing some agency. And now I have a much better handle on the show in my head.
OreShura 13
It did end with the status quo, but I did like the Eita/Masuzu scenes. And cringed with sadness at the trainwreck that was Eita trying to break the romantic feelings of the others towards him.
I'm burnt out on Higurashi... Kai was great. Rei was cool because I love the characters and I didn't expect more Higurashi. Kira was pushing it, and now I don't really feel excited for more.
Lol, if you think about it, it's been almost 7 years since the first Higurashi.
So I've realized here as of late that a lot of the shows I either have watched and enjoyed or plan to watch (Hidamari Sketch, A-Channel, Acchi Kocchi, Yuyushiki, Kiniro Mosaic, GA Geijutsuka Art Design Class) all have their origins in Manga Time Kirara.
Really amazing episode with perhaps one of the most memorable moments all season.
When Kengo heroically dived off the building to save the eyepatch girl from instant death. I rewatched that scene twice he is quite amazing. Additionally though, really enjoyed how he single armedly swung to try to hit a home run. It was so inspiring to watch for some reason and when he kneeled down after missing and then collapsing but still going on, kind of started to tear up. But through faith, perseverance, and determination he got back up and faced the challenge head on and made it after many trials. He looked splendid doing it and ought to sport that look way more. I liked
Speculation
what if it Kyousuke whose been giving Lennon those tasks to take to them and if he knows the secret of the world, would be mindblown if thats the thing that Riki was thinking too
UGH, really Mr. Wong? I respected you, and you go and decide that ALLENBY is the ultimate fighter? ALLENBY? UGH. I mean COME ON. She's ALLENBY. Aside from Mr. Wong revealing he is an infinitely less intelligent and cool antagonist than Master Asia, we had a manly fight involving Neo Canada's Lumberjack and Neo Russia's Space Pirate. And how the SOUL OF THEIR FISTS communicated and made right the wrongs of their pasts.
So Fakir is some warrior, and he's the one who shattered Mytho's heart in the first place. Also, Rue doesn't seem aware that she's Princess Kraehe. So now between Tutu, Kraehe, and warrior Fakir, there's now a three-way race for the prince.
I can't decide if my favorite character is Duck or Edel. Duck is great and all, but Edel is so awesome when she just shows up in the most random places to enlighten Duck. And the cat teacher dude is pretty awesome too. Hmm...
NONSENSE ..the truth behind sibyl system is that it's crap and deeply flawed.
And yes carrying each person status in a megalopolis in real time is something that require a totally insane amount of power management that make a single point of focus in the data flow totally stupid , no matter how you design this system afterwards.
I mean even current day military are forced to discharge their info gathering over several data clusters because of the sheer amount of information they have to process.

I think you're meant to. His theme song even sounds douchy.
Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam 6
And for once in his life, Kamile doesn't ruin something. Good on him. Also we find out in this episode that Amuro is now Mr. Pimp and living it up in a fancy mansion with a butler and a pool and he's all AWW YISS WISH YOU COULD SEE ME NOW SEYLA. Seyla is oddly absent from the opening credits. Is she not going to be in this series at all?

The major difference between Duck and Rue (and, by extension, Tutu and Kraehe) seems to be that Duck has accepted that there will be some uncertainty and pain in Mytho regaining his feelings, but that this change in him is necessary and a good thing, while Rue is immensely scared of change and wants both herself and Mytho to stay exactly the same as they are. I'm not really sure that Kraehe is an evil character so much as she sort of represents the safe and comfortable path for Mytho, but ultimately the path that is not the best for him. Fakir, on the other hand, seems to just have a crazy power complex and wants to be able to control and boss around Mytho at all times. At least Edel showed up to show him that his fate is not a good one. But if there is glory in changing your fate, Mytho would certainly be the one to pursue it.
How many times has Mr. Cat threatened Duck (and everyone else now) with marriage? Backfires on him hilariously here, as he forces himself into a marriage with a goat, and has to explain to her over coffee that he can't do it. Rather passionate, that kitty.
The Tutu/Kraehe scenes are gonna be the best going forward, as both will be dancing gracefully as they confront each other. I want a full-on, no-holds-barred dance battle by the time all is said and done.

Much much better .
The sibyl system is now even crappier than before but i guess that discovering squelletons was expected ..
The pseudo explanation for the sibyl system might work in theory but ...wait no it doesn't work even in theory !
Even if the brain is a giantic untapped processing power , it doesn't change the sheer amount of data that they have to :
-Gather
-treat
-solve
First gathering that data is ridiculously high because it has been proven numerous times that they treat it in real time even with algorithms this is just crazy!
If the heart of sibyl is indeed at one point , that mean that at some point all the revelant data and the useless data ( because it's not treated yet ) MUST go ..given that EVERY action change and influence your hue and your crime coeficient ..it's just so wrong .. ( even with dual parallel processing )
Second how the heck are they treating that information ? Those are
"brains that are not influenced by other things"
so i guess there is a filter on the useless information but even with algorithms , the sheer number of actions doable by a human at any point of time make the decision making processs totally impossible over such a large crowd of people.
Third , the sybil system insist that they keep their sense of self
..Yet their are forced to use the brain power far above their natural usage and make a decision that is a collective of 200 at any given time to process an individual..
. how the hell does that works ?
How the hell do you keep your sense of self when you're drown into a collective ?( except by going against the flaw ) Even if you were able to go against the flaw that would make your decision making useless and FLAWED
Man there are so many things wrong with the sibyl system i must stop there because not only it doesn't work in reality , it also doesn't work even if i try to ignore part of my computer knowledge because of the sci-fi stuff because i got a very deeply flawed answer to a question.
Regardless of the deeply flawed sibyl system, the anime continue to be awesome and now i'm supporting shogo ..he is such a glorious *ssh*le but damn if he wasn't right in this episode.
This PV raises my spirits after the abysmal Unbreakable Machine Girl PV. Seriously, they shouldn't have used the LN designs. Also, this director did Oda Nobuna.
I want to watch it soo much.
