Of course not. But showering in it is a bit...

[ookamigirl]

Oh man, this is starting to look more and more like Denpa Onna to Seishun Otoko.
Well, the principal was interesting. Wonder how he really looks like under the gas mask.
Fear certainly became instantly popular.
The crazy girl with a serious grudge and bad attitude was pretty dangerous, but I liked the action & new info that came with it!

The level is nothing compared to something as gory as say a man getting his head chopped into with a cleaver.

Plot isn't confusing either, this poor loli just wants to move on and live alongside humans a normal life (while giving TheEroKing his dose of fanservice ).

Nice avatars. I've been trying to figure out how to make animated gifs without spending a ton of money some expensive software. Hasn't worked out well so far. Spent a good hour trying to get the heart-eyed scene after Haruaki stopped her from hitting the fire alarm with nothing really to show for it. ><

[EroKing]

*cough* pirated softwares *cough*

well all the tutorials are posted here

if it's just a few frames you could take screenshots by saving the images from MPC and opening them up in photoshop, give some frame delay, crop, etc, etc.

but for something with many frames what I usually do is...
1. Use mkvmerge to take a clip of the scene I need a gif for, deselecting the subs.
2. Convert the mkv to avi with Winavi.
3. Convert the avi to gif with Vidgif. (Photoshop supports only a few types of codecs for avi and I haven't been able to figure out which )
4. Open the gif in photoshop and make all the adjustments.

Though recently since some of the anime is in 10bits and Winavi doesn't decode them properly I convert the 10bit clip into 8 bit first using Megui

The gif you were trying to make from that scene, I guess you wanted something like this?

And too much information? Well I suppose it's not slice of life or RomCom material, but certainly nothing that can't be handled.

I personally don't agree with this, but you have your opinion and I have mine. You may be taking what I said a little too literally, though, as I tend to make my rants over-exaggerated (on purpose). I wasn't saying that the way they presented the material in the two episodes couldn't be handled; the story isn't confusing in the slightest (occasional little info dumps are fine with me, as a writer I do them myself in my stories sometimes -- but I just dislike the WAY they handled it here). But both the storytelling and overall directing so far have NOT been 100% solid.

As to how close or far away from being 100% they are is purely a matter of personal opinion that will inevitably differ from viewer to viewer.

Some may have found the sudden shift a bit unorthodox, perhaps even confusing, but I rather liked it. It seemed to reflect Fear's character herself and the change that's about to take place between her normal tsundere self and the murdering tool within.

That aside, I don't claim to understand some people's confusion with respect to the story. Seems pretty straightforward to me. Horizon was way more confusing, IMO.

Also, nice to see a not-so-useless male lead take the fight to the enemy. Hopefully he stays that way.



Doubt it, at least for now. C3 has its flaws, but it's stayed pretty loyal to its source material thus far. That aside, and as one who's read both series' light novels, I don't get the same impression from C3 that I did with Itsu-Ten. If nothing else it's not trying to force itself into something it's not, which is always a good thing.

I agree with all of this, especially the last tidbit.

Whew well that was a wild second episode. From the summary you knew there was going to be a lot more than some silly school hijinks. Though didn't think Fear's background was as terrible as it ended up being. Being used for all that time to torture and kill people....Finally having a chance to start fresh and live happily, and then this happens. Good to see Haruaki and Konoha step in here. Of course that girl has her own issues which seem to revolve around blood (thus being a sheathed sword).

At least that was balanced with the cheerful energy of Fear dancing around in that school uniform . Maybe not balanced, but was good fun.

[Dahak86]

ep2: first-half looked pretty good and humorous. but the second-half... bah, it's better if I don't express myself about it. I knew it was going to happen, but actually seeing it is another matter I guess. At this point, I'm not sure if I really want to continue watch this... (probably not)

one of the few decent scenes of the episode?

I hope you're kidding, lmao.

After seeing this second episode this series has gotten my attention and will keep watching it. Also the main in my eyes has earned the title badass.

1.) Stealing an avi.


2.)

My reaction to last 10 minutes:

That said, why does a show like this even think it needs to rely on constant panty shots. Kind of disappointing.

Vid2gif? Will have to check that out. I got as far as converting to avi, but Windows Movie Maker just doesn't cut it when it comes to making clips. Of course, could have been the quality of the vid as I originally had it in mpg format. I think I can use GIMP to make the gifs. It's actually a really good program considering it's free.

And thanks for than avatars!

They went the "Tim Burton" route when animating the 'torture-scenes'.

That's what I meant when I said 'tamed down'

Hmmm... My very first instinct was that it's some kind of restriction device for like her powers or a curse.

No I didn't read any of it from the Novel and I have no proof- it's just something my gut tells me.

[ars89]

Lol how Fiya fit right in and everyone was fighting over her. That principal has problems. Nice to see Konoha in action. Wonder what Fiya will do now that she's lost it.

That'd be far less interesting, but probably more logical.

Yeah, let's forget what's logical and go for more fantastical theories . That was just one more thing to think about in the episode.

I'll be taking this one! Thanks. I think the change was fo the good, I'm liking this series more and more, and I'm becoming a bigger fan of FEAR as well.

[ShiroiRyu]

Second episode was a good surprise for me.
And she is cute and in same time ... scary. XD

[KLGChaos]

Second episode was much better than the first. First half was funny, second half was action-packed, though the transition between the two was a bit sudden and jarring. Still a great episode, though, and I can't wait for 3. I kept cracking up at all the English swear words. Overuse of b**** and I even hear s*** in there once. Lol.
