Ano Natsu de Matteru Ep 2-3

The show isn't breaking any new grounds, but surprisingly I enjoyed it none the less. There was some great dialogue between the friends, as the interaction between the them feels natural and relaxed. one can definitely see that J.C. Staff pulled out all the stops in making this series tug on the nostalgia strings of viewers of with a premise that is essentially Onegai Teacher. From putting "I've Sound" in charge of the music, to having the opening song emulate the musical themes of the original series, to even recreating the key characters that exemplified the original Onegai Teacher(and in Lemon's case, using the same seiyuu and “saiyuusenjikou” in ep preview lol).

Nice call back.

Lemon why are you so awesome.

So, Another... I might have to stop watching now.

[Silenka]

Why? (I haven't seen any yet but plan to so no spoilers)

[Kaylia]

I don't know what he means, but I enjoyed this episode. The only thing I dislike about Another is how much time they waste to tell their "rumor", but we got most of it in this episode, and I suppose the rest will follow soon.

[JigglyJam]

Just the genre/direction it's going.

Spoiler: show

Spooky/suspenseful is fine but I can't really do the gore part. Horror gore is different than action gore to me for some reason. Final destination shit bugs the hell out of me too on top of that.

That's the only thing that bugs me. It's like HOLY SHIT OUT WITH IT ARLEADY! So annoying, but hopefully they get past the stupid rumour soon and get on with the actual story.

End of the episode was good though, I get the feeling there's something good about to happen.

[Zilong]

i'll just watch tasogare otome next season for my horror fix

Brilliant. I think this one is going to get dark pretty soon, too. The characters fit that kind of direction very well, too.

The main character as attention deficit disorder or something, he can't finish a single conversation without getting distracted. It's still not enough to make me hate the show or drop it tho..more like a minor pet peeve...but yeah. I hope they stop doing that soon.

I'm not sure about the story tho. I'm not expecting a lot beside weekly deaths and scared kids.

LagrangeBrilliant. I think this one is going to get dark pretty soon, too. The characters fit that kind of direction very well, too.

In my opinion, we are more likely to see the 3 girls and 3 guys at school before we see something dark. Anime tend to get bad once the introduction is completed, and that's exactly what happened in the 3rd episode.

I'm still enjoying the show, especially with the very good animations, but my expectation for the story are not very high.



@Ano Natsu

I guess I'm warming up to the cast, because I didn't hate this episode. Considering how much I disliked the first one, I will admit that it surprises me a little. It's still not ranking very high for me, but hey, I will take any improvement.

Another ep. 3:

Spoiler: show

"I used to be a school girl... then I took an umbrella to the throat."

Someone should make a picture.... I suck at photoshopping >.>;

I know that meme is overused... but I couldn't resist lol

The rest of the Manga needs to be translated. :[

[Elcura]

Lagrange 3 was decent and the foreshadowing was nice, but if I had to guess it won't be much of a problem because they all have the POWER OF FRIENDSHIP! Madoka was blowing my mind when she was singing that stupid song and fighting though, shit was hilarious for some reason. I'm not sure what to expect really, so I'm keeping up with it. I do get that back to school bullshit vibe, doesn't look like Madoka will leave her home town unless something fucking awesome happens and it gets totally destroyed.

As for Another, yeah I'm expecting weekly deaths for a while but I'm more interested in the cause/execution than the actual deaths. And how characters react to death is always funny to see in anime.

[Zilong]

Danjou 3 was kinda bland, but I can't help thinking the entire episode was a setup for the post-ED punchline.

[Hitoru]

As for Another:
After talking to my friend, I ran through what's translated of the manga quickly and yeah everything gets explained somewhat soon. They finally drop the annoying ass "Maybe we should tell him." "NO!".
I picked this up yesterday and I'm keeping it as one of the shows to watch this season if they stick to the manga's direction well enough.

[Cantih]

Just got around to looking at Lagrange since I'm finally caught up on everything (GC still struggling, Horizon improved, Fam doing great).

Not too concerned with how it goes, because the three episodes so far have been solid.

[Avarice]

Another (3) - I loved the ending; that kind of stuff really piques my interest.
Lagrange (3) - I liked it, though I feel the plot is developing a tad bit too slow for a 12-episode series; we'll see. Madoka is still alpha as fuck though.
Papa no Iukoto (3) - Adorable as hell, especially Hina; really enjoying it.

I still need to watch the third episode of Symphogear and get caught up on Mirai Nikki after falling out the loop during the holidays.

I have to agree about the song, it was amazing. Her terrible singing (and no music) was just perfect for the scene.

The foreshadowing was indeed nice, but I still can't picture anything dramatic in this show. It's just going to a plot device they will overcome with the power of friendship like you said...or something like that. Doesn't mean it will be bad in any way, but I would be pleasantly surprised if they take a more serious/dramatic approach.


Also, am I the only one who wished that Madoka had accepted that guy proposition and followed them to their planet? That was probably my biggest letdown so far.

[Zilong]

I'm sure the first half of the series gonna revolve around the misunderstanding between the male pilots and the female pilots, before they resolve it to fight the common enemy on the second half

Pretty much. That's why I was hoping they would surprise me and send Madoka in space right away.
