Cross Ange: + Show Spoiler +damn, only a bit of time with Tusk? I figured they wouldn't split up so soon but at least Ange is finally open up a bit so that's a good thing imo. Wonder what Hilda and co reaction will be when they see that she is alive. Also, Tusk hiding the fact that he's a norma. You would figure he'll feel comfortable just because she's riding that machine and is likely a norma but guess not. They better meet again down the line! Other than that, good episode.

was it? lol. I vaguely remember someone mentioned it but wasn't sure if it was on here.
ya, exactly. He'll slowly developing to become better especially if we consider where Yuuma is already.

Someone who read the source said that he'll be weak for a while (I think) so I came to peace with it lol. Animation wise, in all honesty, I don't even pay much attention to it since I still found the story interesting enough. These neighbours, why are they invading? just a land grab? what's the story there? What about border? Border ranks? How do they chose ranks? Obviously skills but death fight? What about all the other characters in the OP? I know they'll make an appearance or already have so what's their story? How does everything relate? Lots of questions and many more. I'm sure they'll be answered in due time (or have already been answered). The anime that I can say so far has pretty bad animation (or feels a bit static or something etc...) is Ushinawareta Mirai but I can understand why it would be hard to watch an anime if you feel its badly done  Being weak is fine, just need to grow stronger, even if it takes long time. Being useless is not fine however. + Show Spoiler +With Yuuma doing all the fighting, I was just guessing that Osamu will remain useless. Of course Yuuma will leave his side one day, even go back to Neighbors side and they 2 have to fight each other, but that will be too cliche. At least I know he will grow now. Normally I don't mind animation that much actually. Some shows like Vanadis + Show Spoiler +![[image loading]](http://i.gyazo.com/0be7174ac105db0184e5ef752e1a5613.gif) like really what kind of horse-riding is that or even SAO + Show Spoiler +don't have gif but in ep17 when Thor fighting Thymm it just look dumb had their derp moment as well. It's just happen that we have UBW and Bahamut this season that push the expectation over the roof. Even put Ushinawareta Mirai wo Motomete on hold despite having Airi being a boss because weird animation. Story-wise, thank you for pointing out, I agree with you. I actually took certain things for granted, like how Trigger works (info-dumped by Yuuma in ep3 I believe) or the ranking within Borders. Just me being bored by the slow start of the story, and how tame the situation appears to be + Show Spoiler +Gates are contained within danger zones, Neighbors monsters are not that devastating yet, etc . Also, I like shows that give a lot of subtle hints more than straight up explanation. More room for speculation Oh, and I am afraid of bad story/bad ending haha. I read random manga when I am bored and end up with many undesirable story development/ending that sometimes I rather get spoilered before starting a new one lololol
ya, I see your point. It's hard to tell but based on BR's comment, I can wait till he gets stronger so long as the other characters (and him to a degree) can continue the story well. Watch the latest episodes, you might get what you're looking for.
I haven't watched past the first episode of Bahamut so can't say much. UBW has some amazing animation though, agree there but there are only so many anime that will be on that level (depends on many factors). I get what you're saying though, it feels a bit off at times.
hmm well, I can understand why you would prefer subtle hints but I feel for this kind of show, giving up some explanations wouldn't really hurt it much in the long run. They're supposedly a ton of characters to introduce so the show will likely take its time to flesh things out. I mean, if you can't understand some of the more basic stuff due to assuming (due to subtle hints instead of show currently does), then you'll have a harder time understanding things based on those basic stuff etc...
lol I think everyone is afraid of bad ending XD

Akame ga Kill ep 18:
+ Show Spoiler +What was this, an episode without a popular/relevant person dying? :D Well, after looking the preview it seems next time it will happen again. I wonder who will die, maybe both girls...
Also, I don't mind that the dude from World Trigger is a total noob. That makes the story somewhat more interesting, seeing how he grows stronger etc. Though I do hope he at some point will be able to do anything. :D

Forgot about this thread. I went to youmacon yesterday in Detroit. Played some Mario Party After Dark. Got hit on by a cross dressing Madoka. Watched some Smash Bros tournament. Bought some straight garbage just because I wanted to buy stuff.
Love,

I see, good to know that the story is at least decent enough. Will give it another try for sure. Thanks
Also, bad ending is ok as long as it makes sense. what I meant was trash ending + Show Spoiler +like how SAO LN has become. This will divide opinions, as the LN itself is already pretty bad, but the ending, or rather the path it's going down, it just meh. Something like Mirai Nikki where Yuno come back also count as meh ending

One thing I really liked about the Sanderson books(Some of them at least) is that the explanations come from the characters themselves so it's entirely possible they don't understand everything properly thus giving you an incorrect view of how the world/magic/situation works. Feel people are far to quick to give you 100% accurate detailed information in stories.
Did I miss something? Or you are giving Sanderson's books as examples?
|
Just giving his books as examples since they latest I read lol. I watched the first ep of World Trigger and can definitely understand the whole animation issue. There's a lot of stills and dead moments that make it feel very dull.

Seven sins#7: so good. Jesus i felt like i am chasing DBZ back then, i can binge watch the show for days lol. I am probably going to get the blu ray release in future.
See, what happened to Jessica was a pleasant development, i didnt by all means spoiler anything lol. >_>
and now that i watch back what happened in the early story, there are so much foreshadowing that the writer planned back then. Good stuff really.

I think Rider might be the next servant encountered but not sure on that one. I forget if Caster makes an appearance outside the temple first in UBW or if they try to go to the temple 1st, in which case assassin would be first.
+ Show Spoiler +I meant Rider not assassin. Sorry i made a mistake since + Show Spoiler +assassin is a package deal in facing caster . So Rider then Caster? + Show Spoiler +I think? I know True Assassin is only in Heaven's Feel and Gil shows up later. I could be confusing things though, someone like Sent who has a better grasp of the details would be able to answer you more confidently. + Show Spoiler +Its been a while, but I think Rider is before Caster. The first Caster part should be shortly after that, I think? Rider has to come first, though, since she doesn't have much of a role in UBW. Also Akasawa Yuu was going on about Rider on Twitter, so that must mean Rider is coming up. + Show Spoiler +
So it follows the same order as fate route.
I'm a bit excited for the caster part mainly due to Saber vs Assassin. Pretty sure they won't disappoint with the fight scene. They have made everything look pretty so far.
VN Spoilers for goody: + Show Spoiler +Sorta...? In UBW, IIRC they fight Rider behind the school, and after that we get the first Caster/Assassin stuff. In Fate, Caster simply doesn't show up until after they beat Berserker, and even then she gets obliterated Gilgamesh in the very same battle + Show Spoiler +I remember from the FSN 2006 where caster gets shredded by Gilgamesh. Will she(caster) have a fight scene in ubw ?
+ Show Spoiler +FSN 2006 puts in a whole anime only story arc with Caster, where she kidnaps Sakura or some shit, and they go and infiltrate the Temple to confront her, and they fight Assassin again. The whole arc was terrible. In the VN, that never happens, and you don't see Assassin again in Fate at all after the first fight with him. In Fate, after you kill Berseker, Caster attacks Shirou's houes, and Gilgamesh shows up during this attack and kills her.

Mario Party After Dark sounds fun lol. At my age going to those 18+events is the only thing worth going to cons for. And going to those events drunk is even better.

eroge panel at youmacon was the only thing worth anything

People seemed to dislike inaho from Aldnoah. Haven't seen Cross Ange so can't compare though.
Also I didn't mind Inaho so whatever.
|
Inaho sucked.
Ange is annoying but I haven't watched eps 4-5 yet to see if she's ok now.
|
Nothing was wrong with Inaho. + Show Spoiler +The only thing annoying was that he liked Hime-sama over Inko-chan. Like seriously? Worst taste ever.
|
Canada4481 Posts
Inaho was alright, til he + Show Spoiler +
Ange on the other hand, just gets stuck with shitty Sunrise script writing.
|
Obviously the right answer is they all suck.
|
maybe IS(infinite stratos) mc is worse.
