Spring 2012 Anime Season

[Ker]

Fate/Zero Ep 17

Man, I frick'n love this show. I think the key word for this episode was "atmospheric," in that the high-quality visuals and audio established a an extremely effective atmosphere, I particularly like how quickly the relationships between the remaining characters are developing, and also how quickly Kotomine is developing into the main antagonist.

Edit

AKB0048 Ep1(I don't care about making a new post for this show)

This show isn't exactly what I was expecting, and I wasn't really expecting anything since I don't a shit about AKB or their music. Still, when I think of Idols being label as terrorists I picture something slightly, well, gritty. Oh well, it remains to be seen if this show can escape all the terrible cliches of all the "follow your dreams".

If I have anything good to say, I did enjoy watching the off models and the laughable action scene.

[Khajit]

Accel world was pretty decent this week although the explanation for how brain burst works is pretty bullshit given that the brain already has a RL version where it supresses unneeded areas in order to overclock the rest. I expected the technology to be an extension of that so that you could have rational thought during it instead of some sort of heart rate crystal meth bullshit.

[Gulkeeva]

mmm dog days season 2... and also wtf at Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai yuri toute.. THIS IS MADNESS! It would be more of like a S&M queen and slave thing though... considering ... O_o

Fate/Zero II 04



Surprise, it's buttsex.

They cut down the budget a lot here; the filesize was about a third of the last episode. Understandably, there is a lot of awesome stuff coming up that needs to be given attention.

[Ker]

I didn't think we'd get this type of ending from Kyoto Animation.

[Silenka]

Kyoani's animation seriously... just stunning...don't have words.

Also is yuri getting more popular or something? Maybe women are finally getting tired of Japanese guys who can't talk to girls and are turning to each other for 'comfort' :D

Clearly they need a shipment of American men to fix their problems. I am proud to shamelessly offer my body to them in the name of science.

^ this

[Tymon]

Starting to come to the final realization that nothing bad will ever happen in Moretsu Pirates.

Canon lesbians is interesting though.

[Zilong]

un-go was fucking great, really filled in the blanks in the series, really wished they'd make more of the series :/

[Zilong]

Wow, I'm not a military buff or a master strategist and shit, but holy fuck Jormungand's firefight in the beginning is just fucking retarded

They couldve just jumped into the ocean from the start and they'd be safer from the fucking assassin, but instead they ran beside a moving car

assuming the car was bulletproof, the car could've stopped and become cover too...and if they could've used the time it took for the assassin to turn their car around to bail out of the fucking car and scatter for better cover when they saw that AP machine gun.

Seriously, the dumbfuckery is really taking out my enjoyment out of this series.

Yeah Un-Go was excellent, really underrated.

Another simpleton that has poor comprehension skills when it comes to anime. These are arms dealers, they want to kill the assassin and to do that they need to lure and trap them which is what actually happened. They were aiming to take down the enemy truck by shooting out the tires which failed so they decided to go for the engine and succeeded and it took away the assassins escape. Of course the arms dealers vehicle crashed but they are prepared for death and they took a calculated risk which payed off in the end as it put the enemy directly in their ultimate trap which was the sniper team. How's that for real world sense? Noob.

[Caiyuo]

Seriously fucking loving Aquarion Evol, started catching up on stuff from the last 2 seasons and burned through it this last week. I think it's actually Andy and Fudo more than anyone else lol.

Yeah, so intent in killing the assassin they went ahead and let one escape for no goddamn good reason.

There are nearly infinite amount of possible plan that they could have taken that has better risk/return ratio. They could have just fucking ram into the car and stop the truck on the spot, they could have run a fucking sweep on the tires instead of going into a straight firefight.

On the assassin's point of view, they could have ran the fucking barrage of bullet from the back onward instead of doing drive by, in fact they could have do a sudden stop or accelerates and get a better angle because the entire fucking plan of the A-team was to drive in between running target against a moving turret

Go back to preaching on how amazing Guilty Crown's plot was, at least it was hilarious then.

Butthurt much? The sniper didn't want to shoot a little girl, there's nothing wrong with that and he was unaware that she was a little girl until he seen her in his scope. Your alternative scenarios on what could've happened are horrible and don't make any sense at all. What actually happened might not have been the best possible things that they could have possibly done but these are humans that are thinking in real time, remember this scenario started on episode 3 when they got ambushed by the assassins. What actually did happen though was pretty well done by the arms dealers', it shows just how great their reaction skills are as a team when they only have a limited amount of time to do something. You tried going on the offensive after i stated how retarded your logic was but you are only making yourself look even more retarded. Sorry for offending you, i don't mean to give you reason to scream about like a little child. Before this turns out to be any more complicated, just agree that the scene was a job well done by the creator of this anime and i will leave it be.
