Suisei no Gargantia 1:
Oh wow. As a single episode, that was even beyond Attack on Titan. On top of that, one of an extremely select number of instances where 700+ MBs for a 720p episode could ever be justified with mediocre encoding. Everything was on point. The music was varied and fit the mood extremely well. It blended appropriately but stood out when the situation changed and warranted a shift in audio. Production I.G. was stellar. They're always on point but they really blew this out of the water (Waterworld references partially intended). We all kinda saw it coming, but the character designs are seriously exceptional. Everyone stands out as they should and are gorgeous, except for the Jango Fett kind of clone-ish thing going on with the intro half soldiers. This was certainly intentional but even then, Ledo and the colonel were distinguishable as the two primary characters from the first half. There was straight up nothing wrong to my eyes and ears. All that remains is to watch the magic of the Urobochi script play out.
11/10, *slow clap*, BRAVO! This is one of the best openers I've ever seen. God damn. Serious fuggin' treat to get Titan/Gargantia as a two show wombo combo back-to-back with the Shinsekai/Psycho-Pass wombo combo of awesome.
Only show left I'm marking the calender for is Railgun, and a few "I'll-give-em-a-shot" shows (Valvrave and Katanagatari - which I never finished the first time around but figure I'll follow up with this time).
That is, unless, someone can convince me to watch OreImo S1.
