Didn't feel that bad for me... Atleast until near the end.

I don't want to sound cynical, because I like this show and think it's put together pretty soundly. There have been some goofy scenes from time to time, but I think some of us are blowing things a little bit out of proportion. That being said, I still have to admit I've been wary of the visual quality myself since the second or third episode.

Thankfully there wasn't any action this ep.

Quality was definitely spotty at times.

It's not even that bad. Some of the faces are off-model, but it's certainly a watchable episode.

If he knew it was inferior before the release, then why did he release it?
That's like a chef knowing he's preparing a mediocre dish, but he serves it anyway. Apologizing to the customer is too little, too late when they've already eaten the crappy meal.

The content made up for the bad animation imho. At least the fact that they're redoing it shows they have some standards.

They should fix episode 17 too. Some faces in that looked horrendous.


now that you've mentioned it. yes it was horrible. but they made up with the story so it was forgivable.

anyways, as for episode 18, if they remain the quality of the plot then its forgivable. we've overlooked 17 so 18 would be fine...i guess

at least it's still watchable and not as bad as Magi's latest episodes.

Didn't think the animation was all that terrible. Still, I definitely appreciate their acknowledgement about the quality. It shows they really care about the product.

Don't forget all of the points at which mouths moved too early or too late and no sound came out. See when Shinya was calling out how fishy the case was as well as when Masaoka was talking with Shinya towards the end of the episode.

All hail the adorable chess master!

Waiting for the Blu-ray version is always an option. But I think the episode is watchable anyways.

They should apologize for all episodes.

I guess you never know the pressure when your sponsors are breathing fire behind your neck. The TV channel has the time slot already prepared for the show and sponsors made the commitment for ads, and you told them you could not release anything. Using your example, a customer booked a dinner at a certain time and the time could not be changed without much inconvenience, and the chef found that for whatever reason (out of time etc) could not serve the food in a quality that is good in his view (and probably in customer's view too). What can the chef do?? Not serving anything is probably worse than at least serving something.

It took a lot of guts and courage to really hold back from airing anything at all. This is why a lot of fans are equally impressed and concerned with director Mizushima when he postponed the broadcast of Girls und Panzer. Fans are genuinely worried about the impact to his reputation (and the studio's) in the industry. And he might have his hands forced if the work was indeed far from complete, and he might be able to get away with it easier because GnP was the most popular show of the season so fans are willing to wait instead of dropping the show.

Wow, that's surprising.
