Nijuu-Mensou no FFFFFFFFF
I was forced to watch yet another episode of the story of Hirano Aya still not being able to voiceact properly in an anime about a boring girl. Episode 21 felt like an ending to the show, FINALLY, yet there's an episode 22. I don't even... this show has again and again frustrated me with how it was damned cool with a really cool concept from the first few, is it five episodes? And then they just killed the cool crew Chiko hang out with. And the whole concept of a gang of thieves doing ridiculous thefts like in say - Ocean's Eleven - just vanished, and Chiko met up with all kinds of fucked up characters and especially that goddamned annoying maid and COITUS SHUNKA. Akechi was cool though. But I hated that fake detective with my every being and you were supposed to feel for this guy and sister complex.
And then it just went down the drain, really. Characters modifying their bodies, a mecha woman lusting for OJISAN, some other weirdo that looked just like the mecha woman lusting for OJISAN and those fucking kids and then the doc has molded himself into OJISAN? Topple all that with that song Hirano Aya so wonderfully fails at singing and then they're making Ion Cannns and I don't know anymore. I can't wait for episode 22 so I can finally say I managed to watch through this show and that I can rate it so low that I will forget it existed and announce how it managed to be worse than Evangelion. And from my point of few, that is a seriously major feat - and Evangelion doesn't even have Hirano Aya!

surely you jest. it can’t be worse than Chaos;Head
January 29th, 2009
Second that. Chaos;Head was literally chaotic to the head to watch.

I don’t get it who exactly forced you to watch it?
January 27th, 2009
The people who camp my house about every weekend to watch stuff like Battlestar Galactica. We sat down with Tytania on Sunday, and in the middle of that they forced the latest episode of Nijuumensou onto me and then we saw an episode of Tytania. Tytania stopped being boring after that episode of Nijuumensou.

I’m still watching it, even though I’m alternating between FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF- at the failure to live up to the first few excellent episodes, and FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF- at the physics fail. Power generation with a stable, 1-atm, microwave-pumped, water-cracked-hydrogen fuelled, resonant plasmoid? WTF.
Also, Tytania suffers from NO BUDGET, and swapping elegant for FABULOUS. I liked Fan better when he was a fired admiral demanding people stop pestering him about fighting Tytania and get him a damn omelette.

From “those people site”:

“This episode took longer with the new OP/ED and fucking retarded tl;dr dialogue (well, I also decided Toradora wasn’t worth losing sleep because there was no competition).”
That´s for sure. No competition always mean quality and service drops severely. From “those people site” of course. More translations mistakes again , but they were expected, again, from “those people”.
And to imagine that people are really expecting to see those %$@$#:

Kid Wolf makes a valid point. I still say its up for grabs, relationship wise. But that is not the reason for this post. I went to the Coal Guys website and noticed an announcement that said Toradora had been dropped as of that moment. It was dated Jan. 22 the same day they released the subbed ep. 16. It had been crossed out. They then explained it was a joke by one of their team members. It no doubt was the cause of some swearing, elevated blood pressure, and gnashing of teeth before it was crossed out. Thank God no member of the FTV team would pull such a prank. Coal Guys must have gotten a lot of negative feedback, because they said they had no idea so many people would be so upset.lol.I was hoping it would be done this morning like last week. No such luck, and no mention of ep. 17 on the CG website.
i guess it’ll be ready when it’s ready. I’ll be keeping an eye on the dl figures when it comes out because after the outrageous ep 16 I think more people than ever are watching. Uh oh, since there are new OP/ED songs, if the subbers decide to translate them it’ll take longer. ”
Please spare me, I`ll go outside to vomit.

I’ve watched one episode of this… It wasn’t really at all like I had imagined and what it seemed like from what i heard from the people who watched it… meh. I don’t think i will watch it though.

oh ilifin, you still continue saying aya hirano isnt’ good even after Chiko’s voicing?
damn, she’s even doing good with her White album character.
February 3rd, 2009
She is highly overrated. She’s okay as Chiko imo, but is not really that good at all, average at best.
February 3rd, 2009
Aya Hirano sucks horribly at everything she has done after Haruhi.
She does her job entirely “average” when voicing Konata and Chiko.
But all other roles i have heard her voice in (e.g Akane-iro), i have just thought to myself “christ, not Aya Hirano again”. And i was a FAN of this voice actor earlier? I can’t even believe it myself.

Just sticking my head in to say that this show has the dubious honor of being the first show I actually drop just a handful of episodes (2) before the end.
To put this into perspective, I have watched literally hundreds of shows, and either dropped them after half a dozen episodes at most, or watched them all the way through, no matter what. I even kept watching Bakuretsu Tenshi for example, a show which I never loved and ended up disliking fairly strongly.
GJ ruining a show I actually loved initially. Couldn’t agree more with you, ilifin.

I stopped watching it after the gang of brilliant thieves got totally stupid on the train after a ‘job’ and got wiped out in one episode. I was yelling at the screen, they were doing such stupid things. What a shame, it was interesting up until then, but I haven’t watched an episode since. Sounds like I haven’t missed much.
