If you come in here looking for "anime recommendations" then please refer to this chart before posting: Anime Recommendations (as of may 2014). We also have an IRC channel called #tladt where we all hang out. The channel is on Rizon, not QuakeNet! Feel free to check it out. TLADT discord is Discord.gg

For currently airing anime, please see Anichart.net

There is no best anime this season. There is only worst anime of the season.

IDK why anyone would pay anything for that.

Go watch Nadesico

Though TBH it's a fairly common plot twist and somewhat expected since first ep.

Am I missing anything if I just start watching Gargantia at episode 9? From reading this thread it sounds like that's where the plot actually starts.

Possible rephrase: is there anything worth watching before episode 9?
Could easily just look up episode synopsis and start where interesting stuff happens (I haven't watched it, I don't actually know what happens)

It's only sort of serious. But from reading the spoilers of it in this thread it seems like it could be true or at least episode 9 is where it gets interesting.

Of course you need to watch the first 8 episodes before episode 9, don't be an Emnjay.

Here's how I see it: Gargantia has 2 "characters" from outer space: Chamber and Ledo. Chamber is a computer program incapable of emotion; Ledo is human but practically emotionless in the beginning. He lives to kill his enemies and nothing more. Episodes 3-8 of the show exist to humanize Ledo so when shit hits the fan in episode 9, you see the contrast between him and Chamber, who is still an emotionless husk.

I don't think you'd find the show very interesting if you just started at episode 9, and the other characters will hopefully play some role in the final episodes...
Of course, you only live one life, and you make all your mistakes, and learn what not to do, and that’s the end of you.

Picking up an anime halfway through or whatever just seems silly. People simply don't do that for pieces of art in general because they are to be taken in whole, in context, in gestalt. We don't skip the first several chapters of a novel, the first movements of a symphony, the first act of a play. Of course one can always say "this show/work doesn't deserve my time" ... in which case it doesn't make sense to watch the thing at all anyways.

No "plot" will be interesting without any background or precursors. Do you also only read the climactic chapters of books (after reading the ending, of course)?

Whoah, I was just curious and mostly kidding. I mean if everyone had said that the first 8 episodes are a waste of time then I might have just started from episode 9 or not watched it at all. Now,

It was pretty expected, especially since

+ Show Spoiler +
the ass-shot of a hideauze a few episodes back, showing humanoid features


but also both

+ Show Spoiler +
hideauze are humans! and NANOMACHINES have been pretty common guesses in speculah.


All in all, it didn't really surprise or shock me, although the baby hideauze killing and the crushed by chamber's hand moments were decently done. I also prefer how it was done in a series from last year over this, namely + Show Spoiler +

...If someone asks if you are begin serious, and you are 'mostly kidding', don't answer by saying you are being 'sort of serious'.

gargantia 09: why couldn't it stay slice of life! xD

+ Show Spoiler +
so the squidgirl in the footage is the symbionauts daughter? and the lightning bugs could be the nanomachines?

well well, now we have ordinary surviving humans, spaceclones controlled by AIs, and mutated humans... lets see where this is headed, though ledo might feel remorse now, the situation has not really changed, as the current hideauze have almost no resemblance with humans, be it looks (only as larvae), means of communication or reproduction, they are in fact a threat to humanity and definitely something different (they may have mastered survival, but they suck at life, no art, no creation beyond mutation, and they are aggressive on a primitive level, i doubt "aniki" was any threat)

well now i want crisis, chaos and lots of death, please no "we can all live together (or have to)" ending, let the shit hit the fan!


also wtf only 4 eps left, with such a long winded introduction i somewhat expected a 26 episode show Oo (i liked the slow beginning, but if its only 13 eps left, have they really gotten the pacing right?)
