From the half an episode I saw on niconico.com a large portion of the comments were about how creepy the main character's eyes are.

So... how old are the Twin Angel leads supposed to be? And is it just me, or has the number of pachinko-based anime been going up?

Wikipedia says they're both 15. (Dunno where that info is from, though. The main Twin Angels web site doesn't seem to have it.)

Theron is mirroring my opinion of this season, out of the 5 shows I have watched so far 3 will get a second episode watched. Which is fairly good, that said all the shows I hate might just be pilled in the center of the releases.

I watched Uta no Prince-sama on niconico.com's official stream. It's a 2/5 show that magically turns into a 4/5 show the second you enable the niconico comments. That site is amazing.

I'll definitely keep watching it in all of its cheesy glory for the amusing commentary.


THIS.

I see the appeal of the Japanese site now. Though I see the comments working mostly for shows that aren't good. I'm not planning on watching Blood-C with comments on for example, since it looks quite promising. At least, not the first time around.


Hahaha, like that one time [AS] put mustaches all over a Witch Hunter Robin episode for April Fool's Day. Laughing

But wait, Enurstol! What about that Adult Swim April Fools day night when they aired Fartmetal Alchemist or Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Cheese cutter? ....Okay, I couldn't really think of a clever slang fart term for the latter title.

If a title is officially licensed then the reviewers will only review the official releases of the title. So unless there's an official stream of the series it won't be reviewed as it has been officially licensed.

If I remember correctly, Twin Angel was based off a pachinko game, and you know those are bastions of creativity.

So it's not really another Dirty Pair, excuse me, Lovely Angels spinoff? (Flash++)

I have to say, after reading Zac's Twin Angel review I'm really hoping he sinks his fangs into Manyuu Hikenchou...
