Ah man, Trigger are nailing this. Such a fun series. Some downright goofy moments this episode that made me smile.

This series is a beautiful duwang.

@mrcloud_ No doubt. I always get a feeling so complicated whenever I watch it.

If you're looking for an action and "turn brain off now" film, just don't watch it and spare us the 6-7 hearts review.
I for one, am very tired from 500$m crap like Indi Day and Marvel's poop. So I was very excited to watch this one.
This one is more like Spielberg's Encounters from the Third Kind. It's more about the characters in the film and the amazing journey they go through. It's mostly about the human behavior that will make you think.
While it's not an End of the World aliens movie like Battle: Los Angeles, it still offers great amount of military presence and plenty of stuff that's going on.
So if you actually want to care about an intelligent movie and use your head - go. Otherwise, go watch an X men.
Highly recommended for some audience 10/10.
2-feb-2017 edit: Just came out on Bluray and I saw it again. Definitely keeping my rating.
Watching again at July-2023, excited towards Dune II : Excellent. Excellent film. So called plot-holes listed here are negligible when the overall product is really thoughtful and masterfully crafted.loading replies
@stormsm I absolutely loved this movie. Probably the best movie that I've watched this year. I just finished watching it for the second time (saw it opening weekend as well) and I loved the cinematography, all the subtleties, foreshadowing and masterful acting by Amy Adams. Knowing the big twist ahead of time (now), I was paying extra attention to all the hints and how the secret was revealed this time and was left in wonder all over again. And that final musical piece (Max Richter - On the Nature of Daylight)... Gives me the feels every time.
Oh. My. Lord. I don't know if my heart could have taken anymore Iroha after this OVA... The Iroha-overload was just glorious. Best girl among a sea of Best girls.

@alchimist As I said, she is THE BEST GIRL among a sea of other BEST GIRLS. I can't judge you if you choose to believe that someone other than Iroha is the best and while I respect your opinion, you're wrong.
Hurray! Great to see more Gintama, even if it's only a couple of OVAs. And featuring Tsukuyo too? You spoil me!
loading replies
@maniacb That beginning scene featuring a loli Tsukuyo was almost too much for me ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Holy crap. Awesome first episode. This is definitely going to draw comparisons to Attack on Titan. Same studio, art style and "humanity is screwed" themes. But zombies and steampunk!
We even have Sawano Hiroyuki doing the soundtrack again.
The first episode really hit the ground running with the action and introduction to this world and the characters. Definitely can't wait to see more.

Ok. It might be badass. When I see lolis in yukatas chopping off a zombie's head with her bladed sandal, I give in :P
A reminder that for all the series' faults, Tomori was so best she made it all worth watching.

Yah. It was an amazing episode in Season 5. I can always use more of her and Ketsuno Ana in my life.
Wow. Gotta give props to Studio DEEN with the "boob physics" in this episode. Well done. Boing/10.
And how can this masterpiece only have 10 episodes this season?!?!?! That is a crime against humanity.

What in the name of God did I just watch?!?!?!
...He's my hero ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Damn. While the teacher was super obvious as the killer, I was hoping that the creators were throwing us off on purpose with a blatant red herring. Other than that flaw, this was a fantastic episode with a "mini-showdown" between Satoru and sensei. With only two more episodes to go, it's f'n game time.
loading replies
As I said, everything else about the show has been superb including the buildup to this moment. However, the teacher being the killer was a bit too obvious for even my tastes which is the only weakness that I'm getting from the show. I gotta find something to critique, right?

I think I'm on the verge of what could be called "hate watching" this series now. I find pretty much all of the characters insufferable and the plot is infuriatingly stupid. Seriously, I don't know what could be considered "good" for this series aside from the pandering fanservice, which I think is kind of wasted if you don't even like the characters in the first place!
loading replies
I see. Right when the kawaii loli shows up as a prominent character you just happen to commit to "hate watching" this series. Real convenient...
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Ugh, this episode sucked. I'm really not enjoying this series so far. The pseudo-science about memories in this one was way too unbelievable and badly handled. It's also one of those episodes that only thinks to start foreshadowing something just before it happens (e.g. Mai's flashback to when she was a kid, just before she happens to meet them again). Even KyoAni's normally above-average direction and visual prowess aren't enough to make this one engaging, it seems. If this was done by any run-of-the-mill studio nobody would bother watching it.
It doesn't help that thus far, none of the characters have been particularly likable or show any level of character depth. Really, the only thing this series has going for it is the fanservice and that's not really enough. One more dud episode and I think this one is dropped.
loading replies
As long as KyoAni brings us a great adaptation of Koe no Katachi and Hibike Season 2 this year, I will tolerate this show.
The second season of Noragami has just finished and it surpassed the first in every way. I remember really enjoying the first season but finding the final few episodes and confrontation a bit underwhelming. Well, the second season doesn't have that problem. It hits the ground running and remains consistently good throughout. Deciding to animate two arcs back-to-back with little-to-no filler in between was definitely a wise decision by Bones.
As others have already said, this series really does stand out from other more generic action/comedy shows, thanks to a likable and well-developed cast, good quality animation and of course a godly soundtrack by Iwasaki Taku (also responsible for the soundtrack in Katanagatari).
All in all I have really enjoyed Noragami thus far and I hope we get more in the future.

Nice. I gotta finish up the second half of the first season and get to the good stuff!!
Not a bad conclusion I suppose. The last few episodes have felt very rushed and a bit disjointed though. Not to say this one would have been better as 24 episodes because I actually don't think it would have been. But I couldn't call it a masterpiece by any stretch.
Oh well, it was worth it just for best girl Nao.
loading replies
Yeah, that escalated quickly. Still, I got hit straight in dem feels.
Should have had 24 episodes :(
loading replies
It is going to be 24 episodes. Second cour (last 12 episodes) will start airing in the winter season though.
They HAVE to do another season of this. I expect we'll wrap this seventh brave thing up by the end of this one, but their adventure hasn't really even started yet!
Certainly an interesting approach to take.

I hope so as well. I actually caved yesterday and finished reading the first volume of the LN. Very very very good. I've started reading Volume 2 as well. RIP free time.

Flippity floppity flup.
Meh. I liked the idea and the introduction with the first episode but this has moved at too fast of a pace. The characters don't seem flawed enough to make any kind of significant development later on and they're lovey-dovey already. It's already getting a little bit boring. I guess that I had my expectations set a bit too high for red-haired shoujo heroines after watching/reading Akatsuki no Yona.
loading replies
The actual show's pacing itself is fine. It's just the speed of the relationship development between Shirayuki and Zen seems to be way too fast and they've essentially gotten coupled up hard right from the start. I wanted to see a little bit more development or early struggles between the two. I have heard that the manga is fantastic and this is 2 seasons so I'll keep at it. Obviously, I should stop comparing it to my previous Yona-chan.
I'm loving this show so far. I like the concept and both MCs have grown on me. Nao had some very winning kawaii moments in this one. This was a very solid 2nd episode that portrayed more of what the show will be about for the rest of the season imo. I'm looking forward to seeing what the overarching story is going to be about.

The "Bro" life is tough. If a dumb (albeit awesome) bitch constantly carrying around a camera is blackmailing me, I'd act a little whiny and emo as well.

He's already become a "good" guy in this episode. I don't know what more that you can expect from him. I personally want him to remain a bad ass.
