All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.
The series never follows the manga (which given how they butchered the first season, it might be better if they went with an original slant like the producers of To-Love-Ru did), the series is fairly vapid, the background music obnoxious, and there are more panty shots than Najica, but for some strange reason, I watch it anyway.
The series is stupid fun, and despite all the faults in the story, the series has earned a reputation for excellent animation, and the cast is really strong. Nothing has changed here, the series is perhaps one of the best animated of the season so far. Mizuki Nana's range covers the dual personalities of Moka excellently, and the rest of the cast is still perfect for all of their roles.
...and despite her being a total bitch, she's still drawn cute, and there's finally a place for that fucking bat (apparently her pet) other than being annoying as hell. We got to see her squeeze the hell out of it, much to my satisfaction.
I think part of the reason was the crappy raws. Animation may have been good last season, but the dodgy upscale killed it. You're almost making me interested again though Ryll.Originally Posted by Ryllharu
Almost.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
The ending's animation is quite nice.
Thanks shinta|hikari for the sig.
The ending was the best part of the episode. Do they use some kind of motion capturing for the animations? They are like...real-life-like. Looks really similiar to some of the dancing-animations in Macross Frontier.
Anyway, WHAT was it with all those panty-shots?!? I may be wrong but i cant remember that from season one. Was kind of annyoing.
Also, the whole point of the series was to..."reveal" that the new girl is Moka´s sister. I havent read the manga, but i instantly just knew that she´d be her sister, from the very first scene on. Kind of non-climatic. And why did Moka beat up the two monster-boys? It was her sister who caused the trouble, the boy only reacted. Sigh
Seriously, they should just turn this into a straight-forward hentai-series, and it would be better. Also, over and over repeated transformation-sequences are so 1997. We´re in 2008, i dont want to see it in every single episode...well, i guess i´ll have to bear with it...
If they did anything successfully in S1, it was pantsu.
I'm hearing all this stuff about good ending. Are we referring to the ending of Season 1 here, or the ending sequence for S2?
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
The episode has a very flashy Poppy ending for it. This is likely actually the opening for the show but its at the end of Capu 2 episode 1. Oh yeah and as for pantsu this episode absolutely destroyed any record for pantsu shots S1 could have hoped to hold it was completely out of control. Heck the "preview" at the end is done over a background of 2 shaking asses of course this was the one instance they managed to avoid a panty shot.
That ending aside this was pretty terrible its clear they are not doing anything different then episode 1 so unless your goal is to watch a mindless harem I would likely pass on this.
Here is a Youtube link to the ending they are talking about.

The pantsu shots were alright just as prevalent in season 1. And it seems they grew no wiser with season 2. It must have taken them now all 3 seconds from the beginning to show Moka's pantsu... It's ridiculous. Almost as ridiculous as the thinking faculties of the director of this show. I can't really explain why I even watching this episode, but it must have been just to see how badly they raped the story this time and how deeply they turned it into another idiotic pantsu fest. And they truly did.
I guess I'll go back to waiting for the manga chapters, however slowly they are released. Such woe.
wow that ending they must be useing some brand new TEC or something it almost looks like cgi but im not sure and even if it is its silky smooth id like to see a whole show animated like that or something but with COMBAT!
Favorite Gotwoot Mod moment: "Why is everyone in that show black? The art and music are pretty good, and the voice acting is alrite as well......but i can't stand that guy who follows afro around. Hes so, well, black, for the lack of a better term (well thats not true, there is a better term, but i wont use it here)" Assassin

Well. I must commend them for the ED or OP sequence, which ever it is. It's as you guys said, good animation, and the song was pretty well suited. They actually managed to make the girls appealing without flashing breasts or underwear. (Well not much compared to what they usually do anyway).
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
Based on the framerate and accuracy of the animation it looks like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotoscoping to me.
It's not a fun process.
I don't think I can be bothered with the second series though.. *waves farewell*
Respect the joindate, not the postcount ;P
Strangley enough, if you like the OP/ED (whichever it is, I'm assuming ED) from the first episode, the single was out before the series aired. Unlike most OP/ED, we don't have to wait until the series is almost over to get the songs.

The ED is the second track, DISCOTHEQUE.
I don't know if the Nipponsei version has the album scans (they usually do) because I downloaded the lossless version which had them as well.

I like the way it looks. If it bothers anyone, I'll change it.
I really don't care, to be honest.
I'll let you get back to your capuchuu discussion...

Fair enough, I will start.
I wonder why exactly that Moka needed to have her power bound, while Kokoa still does not. Where Moka has the absurd strength that we are supposed to associate with vampires, Kokoa seems only to have it enough to lift the huge weapons the damn bat turns into. Dark Moka easily overcomes Kokoa's unbound strength. They are no longer that different in terms of age, so why does Kokoa not share the same level?
Perhaps it has to do with their different mothers.
Also, any guesses on the eldest sisters names? Hazelnut? Mousse? Yoo-hoo?
Wasn't Moka before this monster academy in a normal school for humans? I think in such a place it would be pretty much impossible to not appear suspicious if you had such power all the time turned on. Why she still sticks to it after joining the demon academy is another question, but I reckon she doesn't want to abandon anymore her gentle and happy outer Moka personality. The sealed Moka is rather more monster like personality compared to it, and, who knows, much less happy.
Moka sticks with it at Youkai Academy because it is the cardinal rule (that everyone breaks). The academy was introduced as a place where young monsters can learn safely and not in the fear of human discovery while they learn to blend in. There was a page or two where they showed Tsukune doing very well in some classes because he already *is* human.
I don't think Dark Moka is that unhappy, there are scenes where she shows a slightly softer side, or little touches of how much she actually treasures Tsukune's friendship. She may pass it off as the other Moka's personality, but in the end, they are the same person. She's just cold, reflected by her power, ego, and rank within the monster world.
Still doesn't explain why Kokoa never got the same absurd burst in power that Moka has, requiring her to be locked down.
A little late on the uptake, but m33w is doing a joint with Ayako, for those that dislike Chihiro for archiving.

It's dangerous to go alone. Take Nep.
