Review DP018: Return to Kurogane Gym! Decisive Match with Rampald!!

Looks neat.

Same team as last time.

Naetle is seen THROWING Rampard with his mouth.

Rampard looks pretty badass from the side. XD
 
Mukkubird doesn't get to battle? Lame.

Pikachu Vs. Onix again? Besides the fact that Pikachu is taking down another rock/ground type (-_-) I suppose its ok as its a "rematch." If Pikachu takes down Onix with an electric attack though, this Gym rematch will be pathetic.

Aipom Vs. Geodude looks ok.

Naetle is tossing around Rampard like a ragdoll...wtf? So apparently an evolved form is weaker than its pre-evo, and now Naetle is taking out its more powerful counterpart?

Eh, this rematch looks like it'll have Ash pulling out a cheap win or two. Especially Naetle Vs. Rampard, that had me going "WTF" the most during the preview.
 
Cool, looks like Hikari gave Ash an idea for his rematch, as Pikachu was shown in the preview using the same spinning dodge that Hikari's Pochama and Mimirol used in this week's episode. She'd been working on it for use in her contests.
 
I have to say Rampard looks awesome to me.

And this episode has surprisingly neat looking animation.

Damn, I wanted to say that ^^

Who´s in charge of the animation again? Because it looks so neat and I´m sure I read at SPPF that some lame-animators would work on it.

I´m really looking forward to this episode

[bp=Category:Episodes animated by Izumi Shimura]Izumi Shimura[/bp], who was also the animation director for the [bp=DP015]first Kurogane Gym episode[/bp]. Although, the animation in this episode does look better than most episodes done by Shimura...

That is a Shimura episode? Doesn´t look like one from the preview. Very nicley done, I think.
But it is not like Shimura episodes look bad anyway. I like most of them actually.
 
The only episodes that have bothered me animation wise are the GK Part 2 (Kyogre was still footage like 95% of the time) and The Kanto 4 (Charizard looks ugly(er)).

Besides that, I usually don't mind. But I do like when episodes are pretty.

I'm glad we have a character who changes her outfits.

Damn 2chan, all pics of Hikari and not one shot of Ash battling!

All that fanservice and you want to see a battle? :p

Since it's something new, I do find it more interesting than battle shots, which will be better seen in motion anyway.

Misty should lend Politoed to Hikari.
 
Ash is gaining his own cheerleader...Sorry, Hikari is cute (at least, VERY CUTE!), but I'm more curious about the battle. Which pokemon defeat which?

Sweet!

Wow, they're really pouring on the fanservice with Hikari. Anyone want to take a guess about how many outfits she'll have worn by the end of D/P? :D

She's more excited about Ash's Gyms than either Misty or May were! :p
 
I though Ayako limited her to two costumes. Apparently, that didn't stick...
