My mention of BD is super obvious. I'm using it as another example of a kind of fandumb visual sensitivity. I'm talking about those who genuinely feel that a show on DVD only isn't worth watching (not just that they PREFER watching something on BD over DVD, but that DVD quality is so "bad" they won't buy a show if that is the only format it is available in). I place those people in the same category as those who lose their shit over perfectly adequate 3D animation like what we saw in Blade and Soul. By the way, I don't lump you in with some of the others with respect to "losing their shit." Your objections didn't indicate the scene in question launched you into the realm of ridiculous hyperbole. Those people are the ones who make me roll my eyes. The problem with making overblown comments about the quality of that scene is that it leaves absolutely no where left to go when talking about truly dreadful 3D CGI like what you see in Dead Space: Aftermath. |

Did you see the end of that battle scene? She didn't kill Hazuki because Karen interrupted her attack. If not for her i have no doubt should would have absouletly killed her. Sure she was a bit slower at delivering the final blow than with other folks but I'm assuming that was just for shock value reasons since you see this kind of thing all the time where people take their sweet time attempting to kill someone important before they are dramatically saved. |

Regardless of being interrupted, if she wanted to she would have done it if she wanted to, instead she decided to escape rather than get a hit in while she was distracted.
She is the type that reacts, if someone tries to kill her she will do it first, kind of like a Riddick thing, which that example is really sticking in my head for some reason. Kind of like how she was trying to lure pursuers. |

having watched 77 episodes of Aikatsu!, that dancing scene just didn't phase me. I recognize how out of place it is, but I just don't care. I liked this episode. the stroll through town and everything that was going on was fascinating to me, and amusing at some points. the characters are bland right now, but that doesn't other me either. it will if we go through the other 11 episodes and they don't develop at all, but for now, I don't have any issues with them. that fight was awesome, but I hope its not the only one

She reminded me of a genderswapped boobie-swordie version of Golgo 13, actually. I find something about that extremely funny. |

Personally, I felt the sudden 3DCG dancing in the bar felt very jarring and out of place compared to the surrounding 2D animation.
However, I must also say the ending theme animation that was done fully in 3D looked significantly better. It was very nicely choreographed to the song and had excellent camera work. |

Another really solid episode. I have to say, the story-telling is of much higher calibre than I would have initially assumed based on the character designs. Very pleasant surprise.

Episode 3
Yeah they still are avoiding doing the easy way with major fanservice, the ridiculous bikini not withstanding. My opinion when we saw them spoiler[partying and their plan was that they were all going to die], a bit obvious in that regard. |

I have to agree. It looks like we are going to be treated to a sequence of disposable venues for Alka. To me it seems like the strength of these artists is being able to build a pretty deep setting in a fairly short time (the village, the Pleasure Gang) and so so even when it is left without any tears within a moment. The bounty hunter gal is kind of annoying and you just know she is going to end up being allies with Alka before we are done. Perhaps even before too much longer. Alka doesn't ever eat, drink, or take a dump. It must save a lot of time. |

Not a bad ep. The battle outcome was pretty predictable but I didn't expect spoiler[sniper chick to get the KO.]. I bet she'll join up when spoiler[she demands her pay and they refuse]. I'm ok with this level of fanservice so long as the rest of the show holds up. It's a fair balance.
I'd be cool with this being a travelling anime. Every episode, a new group of people who will (probably, but not always) die, picking up a straggler or 2 along the way. Alka's spoiler[master looks... not like I expected] he would. Still though, good to see that she's not an emotionless machine. While suppressing emotions isn't usually a fun character trait for me I do like how they show it here. |

I feel sorry for them. |

This show isn't for the sentimental I'll say. |

I have to agree that I'm surprised at how good the story is given the show's outlandish wardrobe malfunctions waiting to happen that all the ladies are wearing while they fight. I was expecting something like Ikki Tousen going into this but it's good to be wrong in this case.
