Fall 2011 Anime thread

[Pharaun]

So I just started watching Ben-to and while the whole premise is just wtf, the show is actually pretty entertaining.

So I just started watching Ben-to and while the whole premise is just wtf, the show is actually pretty entertaining.

And no one knows why. Shit's good, but it certainly isn't something I saw myself enjoying.

[Pharaun]

There's just something so wrong and yet so right about watching people kick the shit out of each other for half price bento boxes.

[Elcura]

Yeah, that sort of concept is something I expected to be awful... and it kinda is... but whatever.

Kinda agree about Persona, this episode felt really low budget. While it doesn't hurt my enjoyment of the show, it's really obvious the cuts that are being taken. Hopefully it doesn't last, because bad animation is the only thing that will let this show down if everything else keeps the same.

my campus' cafeteria give discount to bento near closing time, and I find myself disappointed that I didn't need to beat the shit out of anyone in order to get to them :/

Your school is doing it wrong then.

Ben-To is the most fun show to me this year. Not the best obviously, but I anticipate it maybe the second most out of any show this season.

After the opening, the scene with the 5 of them at the table talking with nothing but their mouths moving was what caught my eye. No head turning, barely any reaction faces, only the lips moving and that was it. That particular scene bothered me, but I didn't really notice the rest of the episode. I'm about to rewatch it

No head turning, no reactions, only lips moving? Maybe everyone decided to act like Yuu for that scene and it was animated beautifully?

Nah, that scene was awful, especially when Chie reacted but to save time/budget they just cut to a shot of Yuu and Yukiko. That was bad. I'm guessing they'll reanimate the whole scene for BD/DVD and make it look much better.

I would hope so, for the fan's sake anyway. I gotta say though, the scene where Yukiko corrects Chie for shouting Jiraiya, and then proceeds to have a private conversation with herself in the background, ending in a fit of laughter made me laugh quite a bit, lol

Penguindrum was amazing this week.. there is so many things that I didn't see coming. The soundtrack in this episode was also top notch.

I feel like for the first time this week, I kinda understand what's going on in Penguindrum, and I fucking love it. All that confusion over the last 20 episodes were worth it. I can't wait to see where this goes.

Only 5 more episodes left?

[Avvesione]

Only 5 more episodes left?

I wish. Only 3 episodes remain. It's a 24 episode anime.

But yeah, this was probably the best Penguindrum yet. Glad it's finally building toward a finale since the previous 20 episodes lacked a clear and defined direction. You can finally start to piece things together now that we're getting some straight facts.

UN-Go was brilliant this week and it's starting to gear toward a finale, too. I'm guessing these last three episodes in UN-Go will wrap up the series with a blast. But this episode with the three actresses was thrilling and the mystery was presented in a way that you could follow along and figure it out yourself. I like how it can still keep its comedy in place during dramatic scenes, too, and how the characters interact with each other (like Kazamori to Yuuki with those shocks).

Persona 4 is still great but the animation really was a distraction this episode. I'm guessing they'll go back and reanimate most of it before BD/DVD because that was terrible quality. Story, sound, and characters are still great though, which is nice, and I'm looking forward to some fights in the next episode.

Working Season 2 Ep 10

I find it funny how Takanashi is more moe than the girls.

[BerenTebogo]

[GRT]

FZ rin episode, not bad for an original episode, but had hoped to see more people from FSN :\

Awesome, thanks a bunch

[Gokulo]

That's pretty crazy, but FZ 10 was the first episode to make me realize Kajiura is making musing for the show. Feels bad :< I must be getting old or something... Usually I pinpoint that 10 seconds info the first piece from her D;

Week 9 Anime Review:

http://avvesione.wordpress.com/2011/...-anime-review/

Kinda forgot about Ika Musume the past few weeks I put it here now, for the time being.

Also, this week might've had my favorite Chihayafuru, UN-Go, and Penguindrum. All episodes were so fucking awesome, I can't wait to see what they do next. Sad that UN-Go and Penguindrum are going to be ending in a couple weeks since those are my 2 favorites this season. Glad Chihayafuru and Mirai Nikki will continue into the winter season.

[Elcura]

I'm looking forward to Mirai Nikki simply because it's around this point I stopped reading the manga because there wasn't any more translated. That was a long ass time ago too.

I also forgot about Ika Musume and Working too, guess they can wait for the end of the season though.
