Srice posted:Actually that part was hilarious as hell! It's mostly a first-episode problem. Fate/Zero and Psycho-Pass both had infodumpy first episodes that made a bad first impression, but got better fairly quickly.

The AnimeSuki post linked above suggests that the mystery of Prof. Regalia completely changing 340,000 people's outlooks overnight is a plot point. The logistics of getting 340,000 people up there in the first place in 1980 is probably not a plot point, but I'm willing to roll with it.

This episode addressed two of my three biggest issues with the series so far (the interchangeable villains and the main character's lack of emotion), and might be setting up a resolution to the third (the ludicrous timeline).

Desuwa posted:The only thing especially retarded this week was Inaho handing the gun back to Rayet. I think the gun was already empty at that point. Desuwa posted:Also this episode sold me on the whole Vers founding timeline and circumstances. I agree. I get the impression that the Vers Empire is essentially a fascist state; the feudalism stuff is mostly an affectation.

CCheshire posted:Surprising turn of events ... Slaine shot Inaho because Inaho was about to shoot him. Of course, Inaho wouldn't have been about to shoot him if Slaine hadn't tried to stop Inaho from touching the princess. Slaine couldn't accept that she might love Inaho more than him.

ViggyNash posted:That's not really spoilers. The quote at the very end made it pretty clear she wasn't dead, which most likely means she is still relevant and important No, it just means they didn't find her body. I think Slaine completely lost his mind and started talking to her taxidermied body like it was still alive.

I liked season 2 better than most posters here, but I'm bothered by the lack of backstory for Inaho and the lack of development for many of the secondary characters.

Raxivace posted:Has anything Urobuchi been involved with actually been any good? Between Madoka, Gargantia, and now A/Z I'm tempted to actively avoid anything the man's name is attached to in the future, even if he isn't a main writer on the project like with this and Gargantia. You've got it backwards. Most things written primarily by him are good, but other things with his name attached tend to be bad.

Urobuchi does at least sometimes depict horrifying violence towards males as well (Zouken shoving the worm down Kariya's throat, Gilles and Ryunosuke enthusiastically killing young boys, the flesh of male "latent criminals" swelling and exploding). I do agree that the targets of shocking violence in his works are more often women, though.

Raenir Salazar posted:Urobuchi I do not believe has any particular affinity for showcasing sexual violence towards women, his "Butcher" M.O is taking what the most horrible fate you can imagine for a character male or female and then following through but this isn't as often sexual violence as you think. Eej did say "sexualized violence" rather than "sexual violence." He's objecting to portrayals of strangulation, for example.
