I just looked up what you are talking about and WTF. It almost taints my perception of the show. I was wondering why people were mocking the manga, but I didn't expect that...

To quote Instro:

Gintama 241

Heh, Saint Seiya reference.

I assume you've also watched Sengoku Basara eh?

Liking the new OP. Looks like there's going to be a Shinsengumi arc coming up. Kind of surprised they switched it when they're so close to the manga. Guess if they're gonna go on break again, it will be in the next 15-25 episodes.

I'm thinking more along the lines of 12 episodes. Having the show run for a standard year just seems like the logical thing.
 
Chihayafuru 10:
The start of the tournament was handled well. I wish we got to see a little bit more of it, but there were some great character moments throughout the episode, and Chihaya struggled a bit rather than just dominating. Taichi also showed off some great leadership skills in the latter part of the episode.
 
You know with all the "Listen to Your Father is a disgusting version of Bunny Drop"...

I wonder how these people would react should they ever animate the end game for that series.

The girls in that show are like, what, 12? At least the second part of Bunny Drop ends with Rin as an adult woman.

Wow, that was fucking amazing. What a show. Dat sex hair. Looks like i'm gonna have to edit my 2011 AOTY list.

Also, I never really care about animation, but even I couldn't ignore this fabulous CG:

Every single extra in that transitional shot had the exact same walking animation. Ugh.
Giving Angel Beats a run for it's money.

but you can't animate what doesn't exist!
 
The Media Blasters CEO expects the company to continue releasing the same number of titles as before the lay offs. Upcoming planned releases include Blu-ray versions of the action drama anime video Kite on February 28 and the entire first season of the Squid Girl (Shinryaku! Ika Musume) comedy anime on March 13.

As long as I get my Mollusk Girl I'll be happy. Still sad though :(
 
You just don't give up Geneijin :p
It's only a punishment if he can't find enjoyment in it. You can even say it's not a punishment if he could!

I kind of feel I should be making a REALLY OBNOXIOUS image macro for this...
I'm waiting...

I was about to ask for recommendations on what terrible new Winter anime I should spend my precious 30mins of nightly free time on, but a new Chihaya episode demands maximum priority!
Kill Me Baby.

Interesting show. It's got a very nice creepy/horror atmosphere, the sound and music were used very well in that regard(well except for the OP), although I think they really beat you over the head with it at times. The quick cuts to doll faces were totally out of place and did nothing for me. I'm also not sure I like how everyone is almost too mysterious, particularly the students, its a bit annoying. Felt a bit forced like "hey look pay attention, everyone is really creepy, did you notice?" Visually its what we've come to expect of PA Works, lots of cg etc etc, but they have certainly improved since Angel Beats. There are some moments when the art takes a turn for the ugly, but its a good look.

Overall it was a good start for the show and the subject matter is right up my alley. Looking forward to the next one.
 
I assume you've also watched Sengoku Basara eh?

Of course. Would've brought it up if it hadn't been already.

Saint Seiya 55-58

"They didn't want me in Hell, so they kicked me out." THIS is why Ikki needs to be the main character.

And see, this is exactly what I was expecting from the Gold Saint battles. Intense, strategic, acknowledging the inability to win by conventional means, a merciless villain, advantage shifting, etc. It doesn't change the fact the Bronze Saints have just been scraping by, but that's fine because it actually felt like a legitimate win and not an empty one where the opponent either gave up, wasn't using his full strength, or couldn't use his full strength because he wasn't really there.

I hope the coming fights are as cool as this, but maybe with the Bronze Saints actually showing some progression.
 
The Daily Lives of Highschool Bros. 1

Bros being bros with all the hilariously crude, immature shit that goes along with that. I'll be enjoying this.
 
I think "Listen girls,I'm not your Fathar" it should be enjoyable or at least a guilty pleasure since it's by the author of Mayoi Neko Overrun.

It's gintama in high school,of course it would be enjoyable.
 
That Father Show With The Lolis 1

I know, I know. It's my own damn fault for watching it knowing full well what to expect but my curiosity got the better of me. I kind of wanted to stop five minutes into the damn thing but I also wanted to see how many of the usual beats they could manage to cram into the first episode. Suffice to say, I lost count of how many times I rolled my eyes at the proceedings on display.

I wondered how in the hell could someone manage to crank out 6 different spinoffs out of this shit but then I realized I don't really want to know.
 
Fate/Zero 12:
Every time there's a discussion between Kirei and Gilgamesh, it results in awesomeness. Kirei is really rivaling Rider as my favorite character in the series. Every time I find out more about him, he just becomes more interesting to watch, and I'm looking forward to finding out where his character goes from here.
 
I think the only people that voted were duckroll and genejin lol
I'll be frank Uchip. Arguing with you is the worst thing when talking with you. You're more listenable when you don't tend towards your proclivity to engage in an argument because of how you participate in one. It's like a separate exercise from the actual discussion at hand.
 
Danshi Koukousei No Nichijou - 01

a.k.a superior nichijou.

I regret watching all those previews of Daily Lives of Highschool Boys now, because to me half the episode was basically a retread of what I've already seen, didn't make them any less funny on the re-watch, and the parts I didn't see were glorious.

"You know what to do, maximise your virgin power!!" :lol

ok Frank
ill try to be less negative for you
though a lot of the intentions and sarcasm is lost in translation to text on my part
 
Well, you know, if someone tied me to a burning stake situated over a shark-infested tank and held a gun to my head and forced me to pick a preferred Kugiloli (oh the choices), I'd go with Taiga.

Fortunately, that hasn't happened yet.

Same.
Taiga is the one i least want to punch through a wall.
 
Daily Lives of High School Boys is Nichijou without a budget but with more consistent humor.
 
It's pretty easy to hate little girls with annoying high pitched voices who act like they're better than everybody else. How do people enjoy such abominations? That's the real question here.

I just like their (mostly) dominating personality with a sweet nougat dere center.

I just like tsunderes.

Protip: Sarcasm works better when you have an established viewpoint to contrast it to, or otherwise people think that's what you believe. :P
 
Mirai Nikki 13

Heh, this is one of the more memorable segments and when you realize just what it means to get involved with Yuno. Hope they handle the next few episodes well.
