Beyond Comprehension - 6

this was a great episode, I haven't even watched the last two episodes but this caught my eye earlier and it didn't disappoint. More stupid like this, less crappy dialog like before. Looks like a one off thing though sadly.


With all the recent bad Kyoani shows, looks like there is always something really good about them or something good happens in one episode or so, while as a whole still being garbage...

I don't think it's just being cheap really. In an industry where profit margins can be really slim, it can really make a huge difference owning a successful IP rather than producing something successful for a bigger publisher. I think they're doing what they feel is best for the company. It's just unfortunate that the material is so... awful.

Obviously, and I wasn't really critizing KyoAnis business decisions. Just stating it for what it is. Not all studios can do or want to do things like Bones and Trigger etc (as many duds as Bones has, at least they still try to vary things up a lot; maybe I'm just stuck in the early 00's?). That makes perfect sense, but they are a talented bunch when it comes to the art of animation, and I just wish they'd be as picky with the writing/scenario as everything else. Finanical realities are no fun :(

It's pretty crazy to think that KyoAni were making something this good only a year ago. Look at them now...

You rewatching this or something? I kinda remember you not like it too much a year ago.

Well time to start my own rewatch run too.

Kyokai no Kanata ep.6

I'm sure somebody somewhere else already made this joke, but I just realized the episode becomes a lot funnier when
you think of the youmu as the audience, drawn to and transfixed by moe, idols, and dancing, but reacts violently to serious attacks

So what you're saying is...
it's the otaku's fault that KyoAni is smelly and undesirable to common people now? :(

This show is downright good when it's just doing goofy, lewd hijinks.

Ai in her idol costume is legit one of the most :cajun things I've ever seen. HNNNNNNG.

Finally on my computer again.

I decided to just stick to my guns and watch the dub, even if Nunnally sounds like a 40-year-old trying to sound young

his nickname is orange -- condemned to cultivate oranges
I wonder what that means in the original; do they mean the color orange or the fruit orange?

Nina in the dub sounds just like Nunnally. There is this weird homogeneity (probably not the right word but I can't think of an alternative) in the voices in this show. and Nunnally sounds weirdly sarcastically nice all the time.

"Is that the mask Zero wears? I must be crazy."
>Zero poster right behind them

lol you guys are right, the school is perfect for stupid antics that have nothing to do with the overall story.

Okay, so I have a question, you don't have to answer if it's too spoilery, but there is this "pure blood" thing in the show. If Britannia is America, then what even constitutes a "pure blood?" Surely not everyone is just Anglo-Saxon. I can't really tell, anyway -- everyone just looks plain Japanese. Actually, the Britannians look more Japanese than the Japanese. What

oh hey it's notto disu shitto agen

Magi S2 - Episode 5

I don't have much to say about this episode since it was mostly talking. There was a fight scene in the beginning for Morgiana but that was about it.

Next episode is going to be hype! If Hakuryu
really does fight against Alibaba, Morgiana, and Aladdin then that would be awesome.

Orange was a term Lelouch threw out to mess with Jeremiah, but the show does end up using both meanings in hilarious ways. I like how far the creators took that joke.

I guess America in this series is mostly made up of Anglo-Saxon plus miscellaneous European. Nothing too special about it.

"Pure blood" refers to being of Britannian lineage instead of naturalized or "honorary" in this case. As for the looks...well, that's anime character designs for you.

So, in essence, they are just being cheap? Well, I guess I knew that to be the case, but It's weird that a studio so prolific when it comes to the technical stuff seems to have so little actual ambition. A true dead end for creativity. I wonder what the workplace atmosphere is over there.

Pretty good, probably, based on the liveliness of their work.

FIlterppelion Episode 6:

I don't think I have ever seen an anime look this purple ever before. Also, I really, really, really fucking hate Aoi just an overall whiny waste of space. Still enjoying the show otherwise and I am glad they ditched the episodic format since there is really only so much you can tell about the day to day lives of a contamination zone.

So Lelouch has serious daddy issues, huh. When did I start watching a Spielberg production?

Hahaha Shirley is so oblivious. CHEESE-KUN

So a fake name he uses is "Dario Torres" here. I don't know if that implies that the name is only for an honorary Britannian, or if Spaniards/Latinos would be considered pure blood.

Clearly Lelouch needs to play Total War. Soldier morale becomes a factor, man.

C.C. didn't have those ridiculously long legs before she put on the Zero outfit. They must be stilts.

I didn't budge on that thread. Seemed to good to be true, and they didn't have the Wii U version of Sonic Lost World getting fucked by the error. No need for inferior 3DS version.

"Their destinies predetermined with inevitable outcomes." Well, I can figure what would happen if this was a predictable show, but from what I hear it's not exactly that straightforward. Or is it? I'm glad I'm going into this clean, I don't have that luxury for most shows.

loool if that isn't the most stock audio for a baby crying I don't know what is

"It's even got a TV!" So you have the technology to make Mt. Fuji into a robo-fortress and make mechas, but TVs in a mobile base is something to be astounded by. Yeah, okay

SUPER ELECTRO MAGNETIC SHRAPNEL CANNON VOLTAGE CONFIRMED
ahahahahahaha I had to watch that a few times

Lelouch finally got some kind of vocal adjustment to his voice in the Zero suit. there you go, thinking for once

Suzaku screwing everything up again. For the greater good.

LOL THEY'RE DESTROYING THE ENTIRE BUILDING FOR A HOSTAGE SITUATION

Man it's so sad when you finish a 20+ episode anime and only realize you won't have anymore to look forward to for that.

Recently it was Zetsubou Sensei for me. But I remember feeling this sad with FMA: B.


Sure her new manga is charming and all, but it's no Furr Metar Arrrchemist.

I know that feeling all too well. Especially since its rare that I finish a long series quickly. I feel like "well that was fuckin amazing. how do I possibly follow it up?"
Its usually when I just stop watching everything for a bit.

Just in case you forgot you were watching anime....
We're back in High School.

"Wow, the Japanese are so amazing!"

The circlejerk is too much for me ahahah

A shower scene. I've seen enough anime to know where this is going

Once again, nobody can recognize Lelouch's voice even when right in front of them. He should be a spy or something.

also their legs will never stop bothering me with how long they are
I'm just jealous
Click to expand...

Long legs are practically synonymous with anime females at this point. I first noticed it in Sailor Moon :p
Whenever I draw anime girls they usually have long legs too.
To accent them better the usage of thigh highs is strongly encouraged.

Is there a name for the characteristic of a character having beady/smaller eyes in comparison to all the other characters in their universe? It seems to always be used to give a feeling of intimidation, regardless of whether or not the character wants to be intimidating. Like these guys:

Like Seiji from Midori Days? a lot of these guys are supposed to be misunderstood and thought to be troublemakers, with scary appearances, but a good heart.

They did it with Afro Samurai. Well, that was a time before simulcast, but same idea.

Well, the lecture one can do is they feel script is not important in their anime, they can do profit thanks to their high points (visuals, character interaction?). Given the last seven kyoani series... mmm yep.

Hey Corvo...if you want to laugh for a little bit, maybe you should watch Nunnally in Wonderland sometime in the future. It's pretty hilarious.

I was on #TeamLelouch during the broadcast, but started appreciating Suzaku more in retrospect.
So much that I'd argue he got the best deal at the end of Geass R2, heh.

I think that anime would be in a pretty interesting position nowadays if Big O 2 (probably due to how confusing in can be - especially if you didn't see Season 1) and IGPX (probably because it was boring as fuck for like the first half of the show) hadn't flopped and more American intuitions put in money into Japanese animation. I know Afro Samurai was a thing that happened but had Big O 2 and IGPX worked out for CN, I think we could have expected a consistent influx of money and cool projects from them.
