Oniisama e 36

Poor Kaoru-no-Kimi ;_;
Was that breast cancer? ... I always tought she had a heart condition of some sort

Also, this is the last time I ever watch ending previews. First thing they do is drop a HUGE spoiler,
Henmi being Nanako's real brother. I guess it was kinda obvious, but still...
.

Never again :c
 
K-ON second season is weaker than the first season but Utauyo miracle > Cageyake girls and whatever the name of the other OP.
 
Nope. It is objectively the best slice of life in a very long time and for a long time to come.
Okay, the more you broaden that statement, the closer you get to Honey & Clover and then we are going to have a problem.
K-ON! is better than Ano Hana. However, if it counts as slice of life, Wandering Son is better than K-ON!. (Disclaimer: I have not watched all episodes.)
What's a good authority on anime genres? I'm looking at ANN and My Anime List. The latter is more broad with slice of life than the former.

Anyway, I guess it's about time I gave K-On! a try.
 
Agent Aika 2:

If you're going to make something trashy, make it well.

Gusto rules, that is all.

Brown Ultranate Aika is <3. Her bustier is a tentacle-rape monster. I'm not sure how this can get any more glorious.

Oh, right. Pantsu. And boobs. And Pantsu. And Pantsu. And Pantsu. And Pantsu. And Pantsu. And Pantsu. And Pantsu. And Pantsu. And Pantsu. And boobs.
 
Dragon Ball Episode of Bardock

It's a fun, albeit unsubstantial, little retcon, I guess. And who knew Bardock was such a goddamned tsundere?

Damn. Hopes of running a Hottest Mexican contest between trejo & Reg: dashed.

I am way hotter than him. Probably. Unless he has a moustache, in which case I will have to rescind the title.

This years goal ghoul be to get everyone to watch Violinist of Hameln. We had great success with Utena and Tutu last year.

This is not a bad idea, actually. It also has the added benefit of making people more appreciative of animated shows that are actually animated.

There's no real "authority" you can appeal to on genres in any medium. Genre classification is always going to be loose and fuzzy since there's a lot of works that don't fall neatly into one category.
 
Best SoL I've seen is Aria, although I'm on ep two of Honey and Clover
It's taken me years to watch Aria the Origination, I like knowing that There's always a new unseen episode, and that feel will be lost once I finish it.

I finished Needless, and needless to say, the anime is ok. It needs less episodes to condense the show and concentrate the animation budget. There was no need (less is always more) for all the fanservice.

Ultimately in the grand scheme of things I find this show...

Pretty good.

Well played
 
Bakemonogatari 1

Er, that was alright. Had I not been warned about the ~20 second pantyshot and ensuing attempt to lightly coat it in self-awareness (rapid eye zooms!) I probably would have been perturbed.

SO FAR the male lead has not yet hit a 10 on the Key-a-like Insufferable Douche Protagonist Scale and that is always nice to see.

The lead of Bakemonogatari isn't really a douche from what I've seen; he's just your average friendly, helpful, perverted harem lead
albeit with a disturbing love of violence against elementary school students
. Plays a good straight man against Senjougahara.
 
I'm definitely in for New Prince of Tennis and Knight in the Area this season. Not sure about what else I'll be watching, but those will be good as long as the adaptations aren't mangled.

Without a doubt, Aria is one of the best. I mean, it's not like i've seen many SoL in the first place but Aria, not just restricted to the genre, is one of the best animes of the last decade

Honey & Clover is also good but it's too Shoujoish for me

Ano Hana 3 & 4

Still progressing well, and i'm still enjoying it. It hasn't matched the initial impact I felt from episode 1 and 2 but it's worth continuing for me.

Come to think of it,I never did finish the cat arc. I stopped at the 'final' episode.
 
Why is it that Agent Aika has such a glorious 90's butt-rock OP?

Because it is a glorious 90's buttrock sort of show.
Najica is more of the same if you nerd more of it.

Aria is a really great feel good hnngh kind of show. Very enjoyable but really slow.
Even looking past all the hype, K-On is one of the best series to come out in a while.

Kon is a fun series.
It is light hearted, cute as fuck and has great music.
I really dont understand why it gets so much hate.

I must warn you; that episode 3 is a REALLY terrible episode, and probably the worst episode in the show.

The rest of the series past that is pretty enjoyable tho, barring one arc. (which I don't remember really but everyone tells me it's bad).

It's all downhill from there.
 
Agent Aika 3:

Oh hey, now we have 2 women with tentacle-rape monster super-suits. This just keeps getting better and better, and in good ways!

Plenty of pantsu and pantsu and pantsu and boobs in this episode, but I think we could have guessed that.

The ED artwork is pretty awesome, and in a show full of awesome artwork, mostly of women's crotches, that's saying a lot.

The strangest thing about this show is the completely serious and straightforward overarching story. It's just like any other sci-fi anime involving a bishounen mad scientist, his flying secret rocket base, and his super-weapon he wants to use to destroy, I mean, save the world with.

This show is so incredibly 90's, though. The music is 90's, the art is 90's, the sound effects are 90's, everything about it screams the 90's. Well, the pantsu screams the progressive future of anime, a future we can all get behind!

If you can get get past the Snail loli then you're in for a treat.

Good god, just stop watching before it's too late. :(

Thats where I gave up on the show. Maybe I should go back...Naaahhhh

You should also watch Miami Guns and Amazing Nurse Nanako.
 
The term "slice of life" has nothing to do with realism as far as I understand it. It could still be the cross section of an absurd character's life and be their everyday life. Nichijou is slice of life as fuck but nobody probably has a life of talking sassy black cats or goat suplexing.

Speak for yourself. I suplex goats every day. Sometimes twice a day!
