Usually the better ones these days are gg, WhyNot, UTW or Underwater. Special mention for EveTaku too
hey, i do.. as bad as their translations look, they're still thoughtful enough to release avi's, so in my begging i can't really choose. :? kinda like this:
Spoiler! :
horrible: RecRand
hatsuyuki: korezon otd, sankarea
subdesu: medaka, nazokano
tsumiki: acchi kocchi
utw: accel world, tasogare
ahodomo: haiyore
acchi kocchi ep02 was a tad too sweet for me, but still had my fill of weekly laughs.. :lol:

First opinions :

Tsuritama 1 : Weird animation and characters, but on a good way. Enjoyable enough to follow it.
Accel World 1, 2 : Great animation, faithful to the novel. Watching it weekly as soon as possible.

I really liked tsuritama. It has that sort of funny yet amazing potential. i mean who would expect a god, an Indian guy and former fishing champ and a socially awkward teenager to save the world. And the whole fishing thing is makes it even more odd as to why this would work out good.

like upotte too. I would show it to some random gun nut but yeah it to has a lot of potential and originality.

didn't think there'd be guys here who'd actually watch tsuritama and upotte.. to each their own i guess. 8) i was thinking more along the lines of jormungand being popular in these parts..

a bit late but..
sankarea ep2: i can't help but think rea's dad came from the set of oni chichi or something.. :?
tasogare ep2: voice acting seemed a bit off to me, at least between this ep and the first.. also, Silver Link's brand of ecchi fanservice might take a bit of getting used to imo, even after a C3 marathon.. :?

First impressions II :

Jormungand 1 : Catchy OP, good animation. Story a bit confusing, but I'll follow it for a while.

isn't that supposed to be a general reference to the Earth's consciousness?? i.e. ayumu's idea of an all-encompassing deity that is (within planetary bounds of course..) 8)

FINALLY, my picks for spring 2012 are complete, and yes, KyoAni did it again, pulling all sorts of lovers and haters along the way. SHnY + Clannad = Hyouka :lol:
Spoiler! :
i'll refrain from talking about the story since i haven't read the LN yet..

first thoughts, Kyon + Tomoya = Houtarou.. 8) its also nice hearing the okazaki-sunohara team-up again, albeit satoshi seems a bit too talkative for a supporting male lead.. :? (protag's monologues are always forgiven.. 8) )

eru's face and eyes somehow remind me of kami-memo's alice, but why ritsu's VA!? :? there's also the possible plot-driver of houtarou always on-call to save eru from death by curiosity, again SHnY much. :lol: and whoa, that hair.. :shock:

kudos to KyoAni again for pulling off such high-grade animation quality OP- and ep-wise, imo ep01 is good enough for DVD standards.. (kinda sad about the possible quality loss with each aired ep, but that's life for you. :? ) associating it with classical music while maintaining a natural feel also deserves bonus points. 8)

but the achilles' heel will forever be k-on-style faces.. :cry:
and since it's the last few days before 04/27, better enjoy my freedom with anything and everything unrelated to Circus and DC3.. 8)

Hyouka, 1ep.

...First half is okay. I like how they showed the power of Chitanda's eyes :lol: . Second is... filler, eh? With some interesting tricks, though.

I liked the op, it's kinda projects protag, his views of world. I hope that ed will not disappoint me.

I think it's already interesting. i mean while it's slow at first I expect it to pick up. I mean the imagery just has me expecting good things.
