That said Chitanda's ponytail really suited her well.

Another one is where she ties the front half back into a ponytail and keeps the back half flowing. Did she tie her hair up into a bun? That's three (or four), more than the single hairstyle that most other characters have.

Incidentally I finally got to listen to the commentary tracks on bluray for nise, lol Gahara-san for one and Tsukihi for the other track, gg
That said why people bothering w/ Hyouka, bad mystery w/ zz slice of life and a neo-Kyon MC, even for KyoAni that's pretty low.

Chaoticblack started it, asked us about our opinion on Hyouka and then we talked about Chitanda being annoying, then it turned into how Chintanda is cute, then it turned into Chitanda's hair style discussion

best Hyouka episode this far in terms of chitanda cuteness in my opinion

ADT disappoints me sometimes.

Of course it takes skill to incorporate things in this way as well but I doubt he had OP planned to the dot that much in advance in so many occasions. Agreed but some of it is amazing. Like for example in the first volume u see a younger Rayleigh and he isnt even introduced until years later The only weak thing about one peice is its character depth
The interaction between characters is always hilarious however. The one thing that amazes me about One Piece is how it's still such high quality. Which can't be said of the other populair shonen, Naruto and Bleach. Both had an amazing start but somewhere everything just collapsed. The high quality through the years and the attention to detail led me to belief he had everything already planned. Like, during the baratie arc Luffy mentions some people call the grandline ''paradise'', if I am not mistaken ''Paradise'' is mentioned about 10+ years later at the beginning of the New World. He must've given that name to the first half of the grandline with the fearsomeness of the New World already in the back of his mind.

Southlight 2:40 am mm~ depending on
Ecael 2:40 am a while ago on irc people were like yo you need to know shit to understand unicorn
Southlight 2:40 am your level of familiarity with previous stuff
Ecael 2:40 am I am like my face
Southlight 2:40 am nah
Ecael 2:40 am I barely remember z and zz
Southlight 2:40 am if you dunno what puru is then marida means nothing
Ecael 2:40 am you can guess lol
Southlight 2:40 am if you dunno what zabi is that stuff makes no sense like
Ecael 2:40 am you can still guess, obvious influential family
Southlight 2:40 am they dun explain a lot of background stuff but that's not enough
Ecael 2:40 am position made clear w/ unicorn
Southlight 2:40 am what differentiates her from rhidde? nothing
Ecael 2:41 am enough, space nazi and not space nazi
Southlight 2:41 am it just looks like a dumb power struggle between two shitty households that used to be proud etc. like romeo and juliet
Ecael 2:41 am except for all practical purposes
Southlight 2:41 am except with a third party
Ecael 2:41 am it isn't too far from that
Southlight 2:41 am but then you have weird espers and shit
Southlight 2:41 am like, there's a lot, in unicorn, esp in the anime
Ecael 2:41 am newtype magic is just magic
Southlight 2:41 am that isn't explained because it assumes you're familiar with the setting so if you come in without having watched anything except the alternate universe gundams and you honestly don't care, because you're a fringe anime fan anyways it'll make no real sense
Ecael 2:42 am ehhh I personally feel like the majority of it people can figure out on their own, at the very least my familiarity of UC is probably way lower than my AC AU I do want the AC turned on qq
Southlight 2:42 am lol
Ecael 2:43 am meh I feel like you won't get much past the surface but not to the extent that it is hard to follow because it honestly isn't like AC is deep enough to make it that hard to piece out on your own from fragmented information
Southlight 2:45 am well an obvious example they have never explained what a newtype is
Ecael 2:45 am wizards done
Southlight 2:45 am that tends to be critical to understand the relationship between unicorn and the rest of the war except you don't get that at all there is absolutely no connection made between newtypes and esp if you think about it and recall the lines where newtype is used it is simply used in reference to the "newtype destroyer" and how newtypes may or may not exist
Southlight 2:46 am logistically, someone unfamiliar with the work will assume that it is simply an ace-slayer fantastic! doesn't make any sense what's a psychoframe? you can figure it out a bit more easily
Ecael 2:46 am do you even need to know that
Southlight 2:47 am given that there is the word "psych" in it
Ecael 2:47 am beyond it being a type of technology
Southlight 2:47 am it's important given that significant chunks of 3 and 4 are based around unicorn reacting to emotions unfamiliarity with the concept of psychoframes and newtypes in general will lead to what the fuck is this brain powered?
Ecael 2:47 am lawlz
Southlight 2:47 am (or eva) anyways my point is that there's a lot being assumed by the storyboarding which is fine, its clearly made for fans anyways in terms of story
Southlight 2:48 am but for someone unfamiliar with the backstory for the setting it does no favors
Ecael 2:48 am I feel like you are talking about details that people have a slightly harder time to get but still can work backwards from the results to reach a reasonable conclusion
Southlight 2:48 am except you can't to this day if you have only watched unicorn haven't bothered googling anything and have no knowledge about the original gundam setting you will not know what a newtype is there is zero indication, at all! in fact the end of ep 5 where the cable glows green and shit? that just looks fucking dumb lol
Ecael 2:49 am magic!
Southlight 2:49 am that just looks like matrix 3
Ecael 2:49 am sure, why not
Southlight 2:49 am hence it's not as easy to "reverse engineer" stuff solely from unicorn so if someone's a fringe fan, for instance i can understand how it's hard to follow
Ecael 2:50 am I can't
Southlight 2:50 am now, if you're aware of a lot of this terminology and you simply feel the plot is too hard to understand suck my balls it's so dumbed down from the books
This post was hilarious, and spot-on. I'm a fringe fan only due to a lack of time - currently watching Code Geass and LOGH and Fate/Zero and that's about as much anime as I can get to - I think it's a reasonable amount, but I realize you could probably spend all that time on Gundam shows as well. I don't like to wiki story stuff, I generally think I can reverse-engineer good enough (pretty much exactly the same things that people suggested, which was funny), but I think in this case it's more due to the long timespan between episodes that added enough to the confusion to be disturbing.
Very funny post ^^ I lol'ed.

Well it's a slice of life anime, it's not supposed to have guns blazing or relationship problems every other episode. Natsume Yuujinchou has a pretty boring plot but it's fun to watch. Except Natsume is actually good and doesn't settle for mediocrity like Hyouka does? Pretty funny that for a supposed Shoujo manga, Natsume manages to get a lot more milage out of what it covers and is still a good work without it feeling dragged out. Hyouka on the other hand is a relatively short LN series with an anime that won't even cover up to all of it and sells purely on animation quality, with little redeeming quality of its own.
No one is asking for guns blazing or relationship problems, the former we call shounen or seinen, the latter is shoujo (oh hi Natsume). I am not asking for the sol portion to be on par w/ Aria, nor am I asking for the mystery to be the kind of 'authentic' mystery that some fans of the genre would ask for. I am saying that for both of the genres it covers, the work is thus far pretty underwhelming quality wise. The characters are well used archetypes at best and stale to boring at worst. What do you get out of the series?
