      1. @ceruleanspark I'm only up to episode 4, but I'm already seriously enjoying it.

        1. @starlynx It only gets better from there too. The show is on a constant upward curve of escalating awesomeness.

          1. @ceruleanspark It's ridiculous how entertaining it is.

            1. @starlynx I'm excited /for/ you, 'cause you ain't seen nothing yet.

            1. @nerthos and the movies represent the graph piercing the stratosphere

              Saturday, 20-Jul-13 21:21:17 UTC from web
              1. @ceruleanspark Yep. After the end of the anime it just gets impossible to properly represent.

            2. @nerthos whay is in the x axis?

              1. @mushi Episode

                Saturday, 20-Jul-13 21:35:40 UTC from web
                1. @nerthos of what?

                    1. @nerthos i dont remember what my chart would be like, it would be http://ur1.ca/epure

                      1. @mushi That's pretty accurate actually

                        Saturday, 20-Jul-13 21:42:11 UTC from web
                      2. @mushi Come on. You just put basically all Kamina episodes on the low ground, and 9 and 10, the two most awful episodes ever, on a fairly high place

                        Saturday, 20-Jul-13 21:42:26 UTC from web
                        1. @nerthos The start is super slow though, Kamina is a great character but the show doesn't really kick off until after episode 8, it's literally all upwards from that moment

                          Saturday, 20-Jul-13 21:43:40 UTC from web
                          1. @scoot Yes, it starts slow but hits a peak at 8, then the two most awful drama episodes with a bad lead character, and then it gets back into the exponential growth in cool until it gets off the charts.

                            Saturday, 20-Jul-13 21:47:14 UTC from web
                            1. @nerthos I like Simon

                              Saturday, 20-Jul-13 21:48:50 UTC from web
                              1. @scoot IMO Simon shifts from bad to decent through the show.

                                Saturday, 20-Jul-13 21:49:58 UTC from web
                            2. @nerthos That's the point of those bad episodes though. To build tension.

                              Saturday, 20-Jul-13 21:49:54 UTC from web
                              1. @ceruleanspark Yes, it rockets back up, but they're still bad.

                                Saturday, 20-Jul-13 21:51:22 UTC from web
                                1. @nerthos It's an age old narrative structure. Can hardly blame them for using it

                                  Saturday, 20-Jul-13 21:52:14 UTC from web
                                  1. @ceruleanspark They get the job done at the expense of frustration.

                                    Saturday, 20-Jul-13 21:55:00 UTC from web
                                    1. @nerthos It was good enough for the good star wars movies. As a counter example, the Matrix movies did not follow that structure, and look how they turned out

                                      Saturday, 20-Jul-13 21:57:54 UTC from web
                                      1. @ceruleanspark Yeah, I'm not denying that. It's a matter of being mediocre amidst outright amazing episodes.

                                        Saturday, 20-Jul-13 22:01:08 UTC from web
                        2. @nerthos i only remember i startd liking the anime in the 7th episode and it got better and better

                          Saturday, 20-Jul-13 21:44:28 UTC from web
                          1. @mushi Nothing can convince me that 9 and 10 don't suck.
