Are you hating on the greatest voice actress of all time?

English Maka was a fine performance, but she could never hold a candle to the original.

Black Bullet Episode 1

So far I've enjoyed the action bits, and interested in the Masked Villain with his smug face. But overall it's pretty great and enjoyable. Oh yeah the people who seem to think its lighthearted are wrong because the people who have read the LN have said that it's dark and contains deaths that may contribute to feels moments and also being gory unless it'll be censored, but so far it hasn't.


So far LN adaptions have been great with Mahouka, No Game No Life, and Black Bullet. Though I'm really hyped for Mahouka's 26 episodes.

Ping Pong 1

-Wow, Smile is basically Squall Leonhart.

-And Peco is an annoying wunderkind. So Zell Dincht.

-What the hell is going on with this guy's hair?

-And Wenge is a cocky brat. I mean, are they trying to base their characters off of Final Fantasy VIII?

-Hmm, now that was interesting, getting into the technical aspect of the game. By sound alone.

-Okay, that game was pretty fun to watch. Well, except for the fact that a lot of it was reaction shots from Peco.

So, I don't think this show is for me. It's certainly different from pretty much everything else, but it just didn't grab me like it has with everyone else here. I won't be watching any further, I think.

If I could speak again on Selector Infected WIXOSS for a second, I just want everyone to be aware that this is the kind of show that this actually is:

http://a.pomf.se/mocjfi.webm

I could complain about how it fails as a card battle show on the most fundamental level because it has zero interest in explaining the rules of its own game and establishes its characters' "power levels" solely through bystanders remarking "wow, she's so powerful!" or "I can't believe that there are people this good at WIXOSS!" with the expectation that the viewer will unquestioningly take the onlooker's word for it, but the fact that that most loathsome rot at the heart of the otaku industry has reached even shows with the relatively benign commercial purpose of advertising TCGs is even worthier of scorn. What a terrible show.

just gotta say the art design in this show is very cute. Very cute indeed.

I watched Coffin Princess....

It's Scrapped Princess as fuck. Even down to the trio of siblings
that aren't really siblings
and people after them and the magic/science. Dude didn't go far from his comfort zone.

scrapped princess was very enjoyable. I like this comparison a lot!

Ryuugajou Nanana no Maizoukin-1

Finally, another show that I've actually enjoyed. Really good storyboarding in some of the sequences, good character design, fun character interactions, interesting premise, and likable characters.


Turned out much better than I expected.

more cute character design. I hope moeshit lives forever

EDIT: Should probably mention I'm talking about Golden Time

Just one more to go, episode 23 was also brilliant, it's impressive how great the leap in quality was when this final arc started. I can't even tell how many times I cried during those last two episodes.

Banri and Mitsuo talking was quite something.

I never imagined the same anime that was overly dramatic about every single non issue possible could be so spot on with actual meaningful drama and move me to tears several times.

cajun was right once again, doing my best to endure the shitstorm was definitely worth it.

Please don't screw up the ending.

Its worth sticking with it.

Ok, I think I'm over the crying episodes 22 and 23 brought me, time to sleep and wish the ending was better.

Good night, AnimeGAF

It wasnt the best but it resolved things and ended the way it should. I was happy with it.

Yeah, it wasn't bad, I just feel like
the happy ending wasn't entirely deserved, but more importantly, wtf was that shit at the bridge?

Now I'm going for real >_<

This was exceedingly stupid. Have some PABLO POWER though:

Thanks, now I don't have to watch that show to get the goods, as it were.

Also, thanks to everyone else for watching bad anime like Black Bullet, Nananna, Hitsugi no Chaika etc. Your sacrifice means I don't have to waste my time with crappy anime!

Knights of Sidonia 01

The visual is very match the manga,also i think the 3D already better than early episode's Arpeggio,but have to wait and see can it better than later episode's Arpeggio

Also the sound effects in this anime is freaking awesome

Well this was pretty great. Now there's three shows this season actually worth watching, which is about all I could hope for!

Shows This Season Actually Worth Watching (ranked by first episodes):

Ping Pong
Haikyuu
Mushishi Zoku-Sho
One Week Friends
Rowdy Sumo Wrestler Matsutaro
Click to expand...

Rowdy Sumo Wrestler Matsutaro is questionable. If you can get past his jerkish personality, it's a pretty interesting show. It's not like there's been a ton of sumo anime anyways, though he doesn't do much sumo related things on the first episode.
