Winter of Anime 2013 |OT -6| How much lower can we go?!
- Thread starter duckroll

Look bro, this kind of detailed analysis is really more appropriate for Anime Thread A.
Hmm, let's see.
- The Death Billiards PV owns
- Inferno Cop's going from strength to strength
- Kingdom finally ended
- More eps of Space Bros are on the way after this season
- Senyuu has an ownage JAM Project OP
- Encouragement of Climb is still one of the few shows worth checking out this season
- Oh and apparently the Blood-C movie blows
I'm probably forgetting something but that's about it really.

The first one is ok. It gets silly repetitive, there are only like 5 dungeon designs, the battles are extremely easy, it becomes a chore to platinum it, etc, etc.
I heard nothing but good praise for the second one though.

I dont think it was mentioned but Arata: The Legend has a longer pv and plays the op song in it too, looks really good I think, am hyped for all the amazing character designs.

Tamako Market 08:
This episode was MUCH better than last week's. The pacing and comedic timing was much better, the music gags were the first time the cafe owner's presence has actually added to the show. The characters played off of each other much better as well.
Choi is pretty hnngtastic too!
Needs more Kanna

Gundam 00 3
BWAHAHAHA. I don't like to be the one to say all anime men and women look alike, but I really did think the purple Gundam pilot was a woman until this episode. BWAHAHAHA. Is this character a woman in Japan?
The episode did something I hate about Mecha anime and fiction in general: Introduced like, ten more characters. Seriously don't expect me to remember who all these people are. At least it's not like AGE yet where a character is introduced and murdered in the episode.
Still kinda iffy about all this "Ending War" stuff. Like, no way would the IRA conflict, dragging on for 400 years, end just because the Gundams came along and spooked some people. This is a serious problem that Gundam shows all seem to commit, treating "War" as a homogenous entity. Ethnic conflicts aren't the same as inter-state wars. And even then, not all inter-state wars are the same.
Here's what would REALLY happen: The Gundams would get bogged down in guerrilla fighting or facing some kind of other tactic and eventually either be forced to murder ridiculous swaths of people to achieve their goal or back off.
As it is, in real life, if the IRA somehow steps down because it's intimidated, it'll go right back to what's being done before long since, you know, nobody is there to MAKE this change permanent. Celestial Being is executing hit and run tactics that shouldn't be having the impact the show is saying they're having.
If I ran to Syria, killed everyone in one town I saw with a gun, and then vanished into the night, would it REALLY stop the fighting? No, and its silly to think otherwise. This sort of heavy handed approach to war is to the show, and Gundam in general,'s detriment. When you end one war, you often have done it by sowing the seeds of another, which is why I always hate the childish "War is over forever!" approach Gundam seems to go for.
It isn't enough to ruin Gundam for me, but it is a gripe I have. In any case, I'm all about this Lockon guy. All the others can jump off the Dimensional Elevator or whatever.

agreed. i just finished episode 20...WTF. they cut a lot and changed a whole bunch of stuff around. animation has gotten crappier as well.
i understand why people are pissed at this series. doesnt do the manga justice at all.
One thing I'm really enjoying in Tamako Market is the music. It's really fantastic. This episode featured yet another variation of the main theme and some other neat tracks.
I'm surprised the composer Tomoko Kataoka has virtually never worked on anime before, she's really good. I found her myspace with some stuff by her:
http://www.myspace.com/tomokokataoka/
The implementation of the music in the show is also top-notch, episode 8's Tocatta and Fugue/5th Symphony inclusions are just the icing on the cake. Other noteworthy moments were episode 2's French song and practically any time they go to the disc shop.

You're close to it but far ..what they do is basicly go and say : "don't fight or we'll destroy the one who start the fire" as for that conflict it ended that way because both received ample negociations from external sources. the appearance of teh celestial beings just speeded up that process. but you'll see in the next episodes.

just don't look into the manga.
Do we really need to bring the manga up literally every single fucking time someone talks about Bunny Drop?

Anyone know some mech anime that are more real-world militaryish similar to Muv-Luv and 08th MS Team?
Mobile Fighter G Gundam 3
I think what made this a better episode was that Domon didn't just flat out win. I hate tournament shows where the hero either always wins or always loses. There needs to be a good balance of both to maintain the tension of the show. Sai Saici is now Bro Broici for me, though.

FULL METAL PANIC! and THE SECOND RAID, its sequel, are pretty good real robots with only some minor Super Robot antics. There's the series in between, FUMOFFU, but it isn't exactly about giant robots.

Thank you.
Tamako Market - 08
Great episode. Kanna really came out in this one and consistently made me laugh like an idiot throughout the entire episode. Seeing the trio of girls display their close knit friendship with one another and bringing Choi into the fold like it was nothing just really warms my heart.

Cardfight!! Vanguard 33 ~ 36: After a fast training we're getting a few fillers until next tournament. Can't wait to see new decks in action.

Would that have more or less boob jiggling than the game?

Is it possible to have more? But if they do it, please don't make the boobs shining...
HSOTD physics would okay.
Anyone who brings up the manga all the time is a shithead. No, really.
You're those people who like to talk loudly on the bus about how the latest Harry Potter ended.
You're the one who gets his kicks talking about Game of Thrones spoilers on Youtube.
You're the dude who tells the friend playing Mario that, indeed, the princess is in another castle without letting him find out by himself.
You sicken me.

We don't need to bring this up every single time a post about the show gets made.
Especially when it's only going to enrage people who have managed to avoid hearing about it so far, and possibly sully the experience of watching the show.

Whoa, that is CRAZY sexy.. I can't stop watching it. It's gifs like these that make me want to pick up shows, but I hardly even have time to watch the few series that I try to follow in a single season.

I vote in favour of only mentioning the manga after people have watched the TV show.

Same here. Let them at least post their impressions on the final episode

Asks questions so Ezalc doesn't have to
To expound, I'd imagine something like this as a PS4-tan. Granted, I'm probably the only one who finds super athletic girls cute but whatever.
It's not even remotely similar. You can't spoil something that doesn't happen in the anime. Any humor derived from bringing it up has been completely played out by this point though.
Too late for me, I was spoiled well before I watched the show. It's not really impacting my impressions so far.

So the legs gotta be thicker? By the by, the hair-thing making a pony-tail is the touch pad.
