Episode 10 of Shinkgeki no Kyojin kinda reminded me why I eventually gave up on anime, it was basically one scene told over twenty two minutes, twenty two extremely well constructed and directed minutes, but I guess it's easy to make a show stylish when you're only working on a single sequence.

And sure having lots of different perspectives on the scene is great, but when the plot is in the same place as it was at the start of the episode we have a problem. I have that problem with a lot of anime, which crawls along so cripplingly slowly. I eventually gave up on Bleach, my favourite anime since I was like 13, during the War arc in Fake Karakura town because they were literally stretching out single chapters into episodes. I basically have to wait a month between each episode to let several episodes collect, because you may get one story development every five to six episodes.

But THEN what happens is I make myself wait for so long so I have a few episodes to sink my teeth into, I basically lose all my emotional investment in the series.

Maybe I should watch Eureka Seven...

Also, what episode of Star Driver are you on?

Get back to Star Driver, darn it! :p

Two... Sorry... I've just been... ZOMBIES AND BOOBIES!

Fine. I'll just have DRILLS AND BOOBIES, instead of Blue Drop. :p

I'll get back to Star Driver after High School of the Dead. Promise.

It's ok. I'm not actually upset.

Okay... Neither am I! :D

Oh, High School of the Dead.
That might have been the exact anime that made me realize that I was no longer an otaku anymore.

Interesting... well, I like it. :D

That's great for you.
I just couldn't take it. I love over the top stuff just as much as the next guy, but unlike everyone else, there is a certain extent I can take before it's just too much, which is what kept me from ever getting into TTGL.
