Laughed my way through this episode. That man is just hilarious - and how about the way he had to keep reminding himself that the cutie was a boy. Laughing
Very, very fun so far. Damn. this character design is awesome.


I did love this episode and it was extremely funny that he kept saying "But he's a guy!".

Definitely a good mix of funny and thought-provokingness. The first episode felt needlessly clunky and confusing, but this one definitely raised the bar.

I had a few good laughs during the second episode as well (unlike during Arakawa under the bridge which Im about to drop). The first episode was confusing, then in the second one I actually knew what was going on, yay. spoiler[The teleported gel banana], hehehe. I am looking forward to see what will come out of it.

Been trying to force myself to enjoy that op, but man, that vocal ruins it. Was there a special reason why they picked some boring vocal? Popularity with the otaku? I don't even hear them that frequently in anime. The voice isn't exactly annoying... it's just dead; emotionless.

This anime looks good, but I think i will wait until atleast 10+ eps are out before I watch this. The first episode is too confuse to me.

Well, I'd love to watch this on CR. But since there's a region block and the regional simulcast is currently delayed by 2-3 weeks I'm watching it from some speedy infamous site (though I download rather than visit the streaming site itself). But since Detroit is part of the USA, I believe CR is open to you. Is their 720p not enough?
Which isn't entirely bad because CR's videos lag for like 1-2 hours after being added (50 50), and since I already paid for the subscription over here I can't have idiots blaming me even though my intentions are to support the site rather than watch their videos (see, been around this for so long that legal videos only mean convenience).

I sense that Kana Hanazawa is going to be like, the staple actress of at least the first half of the decade. Seriously, damn, that voice.


Holy ####, I looked her up and she's playing every character this year. It's easier to count the shows she's not in.


Haha true, and she's the lead female of Deadman Wonderland, seems to be the second lead character in Moshidora and seems an important supporting character in Blue Exorist.

This is to go with her major roles in this show, Hen Zemi as well as a support role in Dog Days. Than you have the ongoing episodes of OreNo and the Movies of Break Blade and add to them her saving Infinite Stratos last season as well her big role in Fractale..... and all you can say is....

DAMN.

I honestly think she would be a contender for the most lead female roles in a one year span if anybody bothered to compile those stats.

Rie Kugimiya would probably give her a run for the money. This season alone she is lead female in two shows: Astarotte's Toy and Aria the Scarlet Ammo - this winter she was lead female in Dragon Crisis! She has ongoing roles in Fairy Tail and Gintama now that that show has started up again. I'm not sure how big her role is in Inazuma Eleven, but she's in that. She was in Kampfer fur die Liebe this year and will be in Alice Liddell in Alice in the Country of Hearts that comes out this summer as well as the Hayate the Combat Butler movie. Have I missed anything?

I giggled at them trolling Kurise. That was pretty good, fellas, but you're still idiots, both of you Razz

It's cool that they brought the LHC in; but it's CERN, not SERN, wtf (what, did they start writing Centre with an S?). Also, that was by far the most lame description of a dystopia I've ever heard. I'm being picky, yes, - frankly I'm very intrigued.
And I still cannot believe the hacker is voiced by the same person who did Sagara Sousuke among others.

It's changed to avoid copyright. Same way that @channel is really supposed to be 2ch.

I'm liking the show, but dear God it moves at the speed of molasses. The third eppie barely moved the plot an inch and didn't even really reveal any more "time info" than we have already been given. Pick up the pace, people.

Agh, I forget about that all the time. I kind of thought you had the right to use those in fiction, but I forget how unnecessarily complicated those laws can get.

CERN doesn't have center in it's name. CERN is an acronym of Conseil Européen pour la Recherche Nucléaire (old French name of European Organization for Nuclear Research). SERN is Société Européen pour la Recherche Nucléaire (also its old French name).

Anyone familiar with French language feel free to point out any mistakes I made.

Oh damn, it was Conseil, and not Centre. No, you're perfectly right, it was my mistake (my avatar now facepalming at myself). So it's Société Européenne, okay.
