Sharkopath posted:It means they're skipping over the zap gets high and has adventures in the city story, but the rest of the titles match up to the normal progression. I remember them having to cut huge chunks from the Drug & The Dominoes arc of Baccano! since it featured an immortal whose driving motivation was inventing new drugs because he'd grown too used to all the existing ones and nothing got him buzzed anymore.

I like how Klaus' partying is relatively subdued in keeping with his more mature personality but the typically aloof Chain is just rocking out like the world's gonna end. Subtle characterization techniques. Bad Seafood fucked around with this message at 02:52 on Apr 14, 2015 |

I don't know, Klaus has some good moves at the end there. And I can't tell whether that's Abrahms or the detective doing the classic thrusting.  is the obvious best, though. chumbler fucked around with this message at 03:11 on Apr 14, 2015 |

Pretty sure there's one thing they'll have to change for the anime. There's no way in hell they'll get away with the Dead Space Plasma Cutters on the car.

I honestly would have had no idea it was by the Devil Survivor guy if I hadn't checked. Plus it has real good animation and no-one gets molested by their mum so it's automatically better.

The second episode was very good, and the next one should be even better and more absurd and also has K.K. This is probably going to be the best show of the season.

The Devil Tesla posted:Wait, how do you own Kyousogiga? Is it the Japanese release? Yeah, the Japanese release. I've done it with a few shows - bought the Blu-ray or DVD of a series from Japan/importer, then used fansubs through either the player or using one of those subtitle programs that is just a ticker tape you drag under the video. I used to be an audio imaging guy at a radio network and it left me fussy about sound quality, so the 'bigger' shows I sometimes buy the JP release... Which I then don't actually get around to watching...

As someone who's an absolute sucker for any kind of ridiculously high stakes gambling showdown, this episode was the definition of the bee's knees (even if much of the actual details of the match were glossed over).

Imagine trying to actually design a game like that and explain it in less than an episode. Probably impossible. It was basically "over the top alien chess" for our purposes, and they presented it in such a way that even though we have no idea what the gently caress is going on (though I did get that pieces were leveling up somehow and other could be introduced conditionally), the episode still sold the feeling of watching such a game, minus the experience of watching it for 99 hours ViggyNash fucked around with this message at 23:12 on Apr 18, 2015 |

Oh yeah, there was no way they were gonna demystify the game within the constraints of the episode. It's more that, typically, the tension inherent in this sort of thing lies in understanding the rules and conditions by which the characters play and seeing how they use or abuse them to achieve victory. With the rules obscured, we have no context for the majority of the players' moves; thus tension is defused. Or would be, ordinarily. However, like with Hunter x Hunter's Gungi, the point isn't the game itself but the character it reveals in those who play it. We may not be mechanically invested in the game, but we certainly are emotionally invested in seeing Klaus pull through despite the odds. Also, even without rules, the conditions of the game help ground it in our minds. Klaus doesn't need to win, he just needs to "Hold out" for longer than most of us could imagine doing anything uninterrupted - right after it's established the world's greatest chess player nearly lost his mind playing for a considerably shorter length of time. I also liked how they implied without ever outright stating it that time flowed differently for those playing the game.

K.K's official title is RATATAT MOM and that pleases me greatly. I liked her vas performance and go she switched from her gushing/patronizing klausie tone to the more grounded and serious one she has in her own thoughts. Favorite small detail this episode: Klaus playing his game in the background of the entire exposition scene.

Sharkopath posted:K.K's official title is RATATAT MOM and that pleases me greatly. If you pay very close attention to the scene where K.K. first appears, that junk in the background is a very large pile of corpses. Also something the episode didn't explain is why Angel Dust getting into the outside world was so shocking. The only bridge out of Jerusalem's Lot has two of the city's denizens sitting on it competing with each-other, recording and examining everything they see cross the bridge. They utterly despise eachother and refuse to lose, so neither can be bribed, coerced or tricked. Everything Burrito posted:That was seriously slick. I was wondering if the next episode was going to get split into a two-parter, but it looks like they're going the whole hog and sticking it in one episode. I can't wait, because it's one of the best stories in the manga  .
