Derp happens

(No I’m not talking about myself…)

I’ve read so many QQ’s about the quality (or lack thereof) in episode 11 that I figured I should probably say something about it.

Guys, take a chill pill. It’s one episode. Sure, the derp moments were pretty derpy. And there were enough of them for even me to feel a bit annoyed. But remember that TV anime is made under a tight schedule and budget. Most series are only a few episodes ahead in production than what’s being broadcasted. (If the rumors about the last episode of Togainu no Chi anime are true, it was ready less than 24 hours before it was set to air. And the whole thing was herpderp to begin with!) Also, the inbetweeners aren’t as good at drawing as the key animators, and that’s where most of the derp was.

Many TV anime have their art fixed for DVD and BD releases, it’s kinda becoming a standard. Tiger&Bunny is getting prettied up, and when I heard about that I expected to see more derp in the broadcasts, since it can be fixed anyway.

Comparison of TV and BD versions.

Okay, I admit that I’d prefer to watch my anime with less derp, but this is just something we have to deal with.

Episode 11 speculah

Superhero Saturday brings more plot and things are getting much more interesting than we expected. (Honestly, we just expected things to get gayer. And they did. But I didn’t mean to blog about that… this time.)

Anyways…

So, in episode 6 we were introduced to a new villain, Lunatic, and for a few episodes he seemed like the main villain of the series because he also appears in the OP. Now Jake Martinez and his group of NEXT have turned Lunatic into a wild card. But more about Lunatic (and Yuri and his fabulous hairclips) another time. We spent three furious hours discussing theories and speculations after seeing episode 11, and we think that there’s a single person behind it all.

Under here is lots of speculah, spoilers up to episode 11, and probably more questions than answers.
