Spoiler for latest ep March 01:
Also, Shaft has once again dropped the ball. Many scenes near the end were freeze frames. I am going to expect more of that for the rest of the season.

As I haven't watched an episode since episode 4, I'm not sure how to really comment on this. However, it does make me wonder if the freeze frames are a sign that there's going to be something big in the upcoming episodes (with this episode using a lot of freeze frames in the TV version to conserve resources for the more important scenes later in the show);

That being said, maybe they just ran out of money. I might remember wrong, but Madoka Magica seems to have better consistency in term of animation quality right? It is not strange if they do run out of money. Almost every episode until now has some battles as climax |

The blu ray special commentaries for ep 15 actually was done with most of the animation missing. So the characters apologise for not knowing what is on screen, and chat about Evangelion instead.

Sasami-san@Ganabaranai 08 - The Great Battle on the Rooftop
That was a pretty interesting episode, in both halves. The aerial battle with the sisters vs Sasami had some nice visuals, giant holographic Sasami among them, and hooray, Tsurugi is back! Sure, Sasami's kind of gone back to how she was at the start of the series, but the circumstances are different enough (and mythologically accurate) that I'm okay with it. For the second half, it's good to see that even though Sasami's mom may have left the show in the present tense, her story isn't quite concluded. That monologue she had to herself was touching, casting her actions in the previous two episodes in a different light. She's not an inherently bad person. Now as far as the twist ending, depending on what the deal and the conditions are, I can see Sasami at least considering accepting it, but ultimately rejecting it. Also a matter of if she can do this on her own, or if she'll need the sisters to back her up once again. |

It was interesting to find out how Sasami's mother used to in the past. I see her in a new light. It's hard to forgive her for what she intended to do, but at least we know she wasn't a bad person and that she did love her daughter at some point. They just had very different convictions.
Kagami was awesome in the first part of the episode. Sasami has a great friend. Quote:

I think this is the problem. Not lack of money. Not laziness. Maybe a somewhat irresponsible attitude but, hey, he's an artist. Lol.
That being said, I have never been bothered by all his money-saving tricks (long shots, still shots, shots held a long time, etc.) or even by Tsukuyomi Moonphase TV12, in which an entire battle went on with no images of the fighting at all, just artistic shots of the area it was taking place in, with sound effects. I enjoyed ep8, but maybe not as much as some previous episodes.

At this point, both the audience and the sponsors are used to it. It is now no longer a flaw but an artistic quirk. The sponsors expect an excellent product in the Disc release, and anyway it helps the sales.

1: Tender moment between mother and child. 2: 1,000's of zombies being destroyed by a miko. 3: A golem like thing talking to said miko. 4: Ariel battle by a schoolgirl, where her clothes are being dissolved. Given the choice, and considering this is SHAFT, I'm actually surprised the rest of the episode wasn't completely stills, text and color flashes. |
