Its PA Works. Theyre gonna take the same old shit and just pretty it up with their exceptional animation and scenery porn.

As long as by opening up more, you don't mean opening her legs, i'm fine!
Jokes apart, I finally found the music from Kamisama that I was looking for a while
Sad that it is so short though
lol. I do feel like the anime is aiming for that kind of stuff on the side based on the credits at the end. Guess it's supposed to get more people to watch it or something.
I was hoping for the MC to be unique with his ship. But turns out that every Fog ship also have a girl AI or whatever it is
Also, the part about the MC being a traitor to humanity doesn't make much sense (or maybe I misread from episode 1). The flashback hardly explained much, imo. Also, its bizarre that they are actively seking his help, even though he is a "Traitor"
BTW, when did his friends joined him on board of the sub? I recall him "running away" from school. I don't recall him stopping by to pick his friends
MC? I'm not sure what flashback you're taking about. I've only watched the first episode so far though lol. Not sure about friends either. He ran away then well, they are there. Are they really his friends though? They look different from what they were like at his school?

I laughed at Hyuuga getting beaten and looted in the past off screen because I've modernized like 3 of them lol. All I got were 35.6cm cannons. I definitely like Takao's character design a whole lot more than Kancolle version.
with Takao blushing and being all like "I want that human to board me too!" there's no further information needed to know where this is going

Having the same deadpan facial expression/emotion all the time makes that pretty hard lol.

All the subs are deadpan, but they all have distinct personalities. Iona herself is pretty great at doing snarky things thanks to said deadpan expression. I prefer 402 though, but they probably won't reach the part where she really gets to shine.

He's a traitor because he essentially commandeered navy property. And they're not really actively seeking his help. More accurately, one faction of the government is seeking his help, as there is a significant amount of political maneuvering going on behind the scenes. This will probably be the focus of the next few episodes.
As for why they want his help, I-401 is basically the only human controlled ship capable of fighting the fog in any capacity. The vibration warhead they want to transport is capable of destroying fog armor, but is not capable of penetrating their Klein fields. Conventional weaponry is plain useless. I-401, being a fog ship itself, comes equipped with corrosion warheads which can do both. + Show Spoiler [Ep 2] +
The superheavy cannon can also do both, obviously. Incidentally, it's not really accurate to say that I-401 looted the superheavy cannon from Hyuuga. It's more that they gained the construction blueprints for the superheavy cannon from Hyuuga's core. Fog ships are composed of nanoparticles, so they can effectively reform themselves into different shapes. So when Iona fired the cannon, she didn't expose the cannon, she formed it.
deadpan? Explain please or do you just mean her expression and the way she acts?
The shipmates came aboard sometime during the two year timeskip.
The subs all have the same deadpan expression. Their personalities, on the other hand, are anything but.
ok I think I get you now. You mean the expression is deadpan lol.
edit: watched the second episode, very interesting. + Show Spoiler +
rofl at takao wanting a human onboard. I guess I can see where this is going. Seems like he's sparing them in the hopes that they'll turn and join his side(not that it's his main reason or anything). I gotta say though, that the battle they had was quite interesting. The maneuvering and such although the superheavy cannon still feels like it came out of nowhere even though there was a mention of them defeating Hyuuga and all. Do we have any more details about Hyuuga atm? Would like to know more who the ship was etc...
The first mention of Hyuuga in the manga comes in the Takao fight as well. More about her is explained later on, but I don't think the anime will even reach that point.
Still not bad. Looks like they spoiled the next episode in the preview though...though I guess there's only one use for the immortal main character....stab him when he's possessed by evil spirits.
Also mitsuki is so moe @____@
Mitsuki is like the only thing keeping me at this, that and I guess sleep aid functions.

Still watching: Arpeggio, though it's gonna be exposition galore until the end of the season Galilei Donna, next on the chopping block Gundam Build Fighters Kill la Kill Kyousogiga, aoty obv Non Non Biyori Samurai Flamenco, seems ok? But who knows. Yowamushi Pedal
Dropped: Golden Time Coppelion White Album 2 (lmao) Ace of Diamond Gingitsune, though I might pick it up again if they actually get something decent going. But it's no Natsume so far. Tokyo Ravens, because I mean, why bother watching something with shit CG when it probably won't even get past the little that has been tl'd?
why do you say that? It's only 1 season? Going to get skipped?
Which show are you referring to? If it's Tokyo Ravens, that's because one season isn't really going to be enough to get anywhere noteworthy.
meant your comment regarding Arpeggio. The last part of your sentence -> don't think the anime will even reach that point. Why?
Hmmmmmmm so finished Psycho Pass. I thought it was pretty good, and am surprised it's not well known at all. It doesn't do anything spectacularly, but it does a lot of things well, and has good music.
And JoJo...so good. The joy of hearing Joseph Joestar's voice, and recognizing it as Gintoki.......I thought it was awesome before..but now..

Psycho Pass isn't exactly mainstream but it's pretty well known mainly for QUALITY and CAUSE I FEEL. One of those was fixed to some extent in the bluray releases though.
About that, Can someone remind me what the badly animated episode of psycho pass was? The one they said they would do over? I see the BD is released in volumes, which volume is the bad episode in? Cuz i've to download that then, and i'm to lazy to figure it out myself.
Edit: so wait, the tv releases have fucked up animation and then the BDs have censoring? Fuck this... T_T Edit2: nvm my first question, i'm just dwld'ing all of them.

Well, there are oddities like bake and oreimo with streamed episodes because things didn't fit broadcast schedule. But they aren't really extensions.

Shouldn't all anime lover care about Quality first and foremost? Or is there another criteria that > Quality?

It is known for QUALITY? It was one episode, and they even warned. It was forgotten pretty fast.
