well, there isn't really any way to better develop Summeragi's character other than that.

Animes should never talk about military strategy or politics...it never make any sense in the end.

[Elcura]

Yeah, it always seemed like a cop-out excuse for things to go completely right or horribly wrong. Politics never made my day in anime, but strategy can. The only strategy I like to see is in games, cause ultimately you control the outcome. Otherwise it becomes a battle of psychics.

holy shit Kannagi is such mindfuck this episode ;o

[Kaylia]

Kannagi 11 was awesome, and definitively the best one so far (for me at least). Need more of those.

Only time I was actually impressed with "strategy" was in Death Notes. Light's and L's plans were usually clever and believable.

Almost everything else is like you said, an excuse to make something go completely right or horribly wrong.

I never thought I would ever consider Vampire Knight "awesome", but episode 10 of the second season was just that. Can't wait until next ep is subbed.

[drewbixcube]

new vampire knight is out but i'm having too much fun at halo to watch it lol

edit: its a buildup episode, and a damn good one at that

[GRT]

omg toradora ep12's animation quality is horrid, friggin producers running out of money again

[Man0warr]

Didnt watch it, but lame. I hate when they do that.

[Kirin]

Ian... ;_;. Tell me they havn't taken both Lockon and Ian away from us.

And wow, I actually got excited when the 0-Riser was turned on and docked. I mean I love and enjoy anime and whatnot, but I havn't honestly been IRL excited about it since Shiro took on Norris's Gouf in 08th MS Team.

I think im going to enjoy the (Innovators vs Celestial Being) vs (Nena vs Ribbons/Ali) story. Hopefully they ride that out until the end of the series.

[Zilong]

I actually really liked 8th ms team, it's a realistic take on a mech warfare.

Pity it's retardedly short though :/

I'm really hating this "who the fuck is whose side" deal on 00, but I've never been a big fan of thanatos gambit to begin with, but it's like there are too much double agent running around right now and everyone have their own fucking agenda.

Then again, trans am 00 just went halfway to a human instrumentality...so this has potential to be hilarious.

I'd enjoy the activation more if there were more female pilot that is likely to fight setsuna though, seeing naked graham aker/ali would probably make me drop the series.

I dunno who suggested it, or even if it was but I just watched ef - a tale of memories and I really really liked it. Good characters, good story and shitty animation but the creativity turns it into great animation. such a strange anime, but beautiful at the same time. gonna watch melodies now.

[octopus]

Loved this week's toradora. Can't wait until next week.

I agree about the animation...kinda. I wouldn't call it "shitty" because there is no disfigured face, and they still pull some great animation here and there, but it is very entertaining to watch.

I loved Sayonara Zetsubou sensei for the same reason. Not a "good" animation, but the creavity and style make it awesome.

[Man0warr]

Same studio, Shaft

[Kaylia]

Same studio, Shaft

Yeah, I know. I'm always sucking them whenever I can because I love everything they made (except Popotan, this one was terrible despite the pretty color).

[Kaylia]

Watched Toradora. I didnt think the animation was as bad as GRT made it sound, even if it wasn't good. Episode was good in overall. I loved the first half, but the rest was kinda awkward (wrestling play).

Nah, when I say shitty I refer to movement and camera etc. disfigured faces I guess would go in there, but I would call that shitty art instead. art in ef was good.

you could tell they had a low budget but with the great dialogue it was hard to care about the very minimal movement (phone booth scene was the best). SZS is the same thing, really. Although I need to finish watching that.

[Kaylia]

Yeah, the phone boot scenes was awesome. I remember telling myself something along the line of "holy shit, best use of a single frame ever".
