Your Favorite and Least Favorite Episodes?

[Foggle]

So, which episode did you like the most, and which one did you despise?

My favorite one was "Legend of the End of the Century Conqueror" because it reminds me of the newer manga volumes; hilarious, but also depressing at times.

My least favorite episode was "The Best of Mr. Pedro" because, IMO, it was a pointless recap of the worst parts of the series.

My least fav was also the best of pedro

My fav... the all female one, loved its animation

[Foggle]

Yeah, that one had great animation.  The art was higher quality, as well.

some of them just had god awful animation like the scene with Watanabe talking about how his money wont last as he walks outta that store. All people around where just poorly drawn white blobs and Iwata and Sumiyoshi looked bad as well

[Foggle]

I rather liked the white blobs, myself. D:

One sequence of bad animation really stands out in my mind.  It's in the episode with Key, there's one part where Excel looks just about as big as Sumiyoshi, while Hyatt remains thin as usual.

huh when was that?

[Randamo]

i didnt watch the pedro episode, since it was a pedro and recap episode, but i choose that as worse
best depends on my mood, but i'd have to say the third episode

and as for the white blobs, i read in those cultural refernce thingies that that was a reference to di gi charat, which animates background people that way.
i rather liked the white blobs too.

but thats no excuse for the crappiness of Iwata and Sumiyoshi's animation

[Randamo]

oh...well, yeah.
of course you cant expect them to look good ALL the time, most anime has those REALLY annoying scenes where everyone looks terrible.
of course, i dont think they did a good job with Iwata, Misaki, Wantanabe and Hyatt.
or maybe its just because Iwata and Wantanabe just aren't good looking characters. do you agree with me on that?

meh there not that bad. they look good in the anime. I wish Rikdo was on the team when it was created...

[Randamo]

yeah, didnt he pretty much give them rights and let them do whatever the heck they wanted to do - he wasn't even the voice for himself in the japanese version. they actually hired someone to impersonate him.

[skycloud]

yea, the only thing i believe he did do was make the cover art for the DVDs

[MincyMatsu]

Those white blobs were perfect in Puni Puni Poemy, i disliked them alot in Excel Saga though...

Well, the anime isn't living up to the superior manga version anyways, it makes sense they walked a different route with background people than what the manga had (At least not-important characters in the Manga were actual good looking human shaped silhouettes, unlike the white blobby ones of teh anime)

Anyways, my least favorite were pretty much all with poor animation, and the pedro only ones... actually, almost anything with pedro, except his first part (that was rather funny actually, but then it went out of hand)

My favorites were obviously those with great animation and art... Ep1 Ep 3, Ep8 and Ep26 there was the one with Key too, i reckon that it had rather good looking moments, i forgot the Episode number though... i should re-watch to check which others looked great...

[Uncreativity]

My favorite episode was 25. I also really love 23, 24, 21, and 7 a lot.

My least favorite episode was the Sara Cosette episode. Nice animation or not, I really hated it a lot. I also really dislike the first Menchi episode, and though it has its moments (Il Palazzo playing the guitar~~~), I'm not a big fan of episode 26.

the plot behind cossette story wasnt all that bad, better then some of the episodes it atleast had a touching story to it and some drama and comedy to it
