Get on that AKB crack, son!

Hyouka e.3 - Well well well, I think we just got started For Real. And I don't mean the A-plot mystery - which was probably the weakest so far, except I had this weird conviction that their sempai was growing marijuana >_> - but the stuff with Eru's Uncle and the growing mystique of the Kotenbu itself was wonderful.

Heh, for some reason I hadn't considered this. I would guess "no" (or maybe not until the very end), but it would be pretty cool if maybe she is involved in something that we see (not just flashback stuff, but I would accept that too), without actually meeting up with Eru and co.

Rosario & Vampire Capu2 Episode 1

Sekirei Episode 11

Motto To Love-Ru Episodes 10 - 12*


* Good show but not as good as the original. Also seemed like more subtitle errors than usual for a Sentai Filmworks release.

Just watched ep 19 of GITSSAC2G. Anyone else notice a difference in the voice acting? Not the voice actors, but like maybe the recording devices used were different? Everyone's voice, especially Batou and the Major's voices seem much lower.

It's still not really grabbing me, it's definitely much weaker than the first series. What's the generally held opinion on 2G vs 1G?

Personally, I'd have said the exact opposite - I thought the 2nd Gig was by far and away the better season.

Not to slight the first series, but I thought the second had far more humanity to it. Despite the overwhelmingly technological setting, this time around, all the characters seem to be plagued by universal problems of emotional frailty and self-doubt. It just made the whole thing feel so much more rounded to me.

I have to agree with that, I also thought 2nd Gig was the better series, the GitS world was so familiar by the time it started and I thought it had more insight into the characters.


Infinite Ryvius - Episode 15

This series is finally beginning to move the plot along!

There's WAY too much exposition of stuff that doesn't seem all that relevant. I'm not churlish enough to expect nothing but action, but the length and jargon of these long speeches about stuff that happened in the past of this world is just really dull to me. Granted one of my favourite episodes of the 1st gig was the internet chat room - nothing but talking all ep - , but that was a discussion, these are just historical monologues and it's so political and high level that I can't really keep up, nor do I particularly want to.

My favourite episodes have been ones like the one detailing a bit more of the major's past and the one showcasing Saito's history. I like the character of Goda but so much of these episodes is wasted in exposition it's making it hard for me to enjoy it...

Unfortunately I can't think of many specifics to add to the discussion right now, but I'm with you on this Sparrow. As much as I love the series as a whole, I also preferred 1st Gig and agree with almost everything you've said above. I found the stand alone episodes of 2nd Gig more enjoyable than the main plot, and I can usually take even the lengthiest exposition.

Queen's Blade Rebellion e.5 - I want to say something controversial like "best episode of QB ever", but since so few people here watch this, I doubt it is going to cause that much controversy. The vibrator armor is still funny. I think.

Space Brothers e.6 - Drama! They do a pretty good job of making you like the characters you're "supposed" to, I'll give them that.

Tsuritama e.4 - The weakest ep so far, I think, and the first one where I thought the ultra relaxed pace worked against it. Some nice character building moments, still.

Tasogare Otome e.5 - Mmm, Kirie. The show is better when it's doing more horror-y things, too, though.

I've watched practically all of Honey & Clover sicne Saturday. Which was a terrible idea as I;m havign pretty severe relationship issues and it certainly didn't make me feel cheerier for it!

On the GiTS 1 vs 2, I definitely though the first series was strong. Not by very much though. I think the standalone episodes were as good, but I didn't care about the Individual Eleven overarching plot as much as the Laughing Man.
