That's why I don't post much in the sports thread. For all the talk of anime, ponies, etc.
Sports fans are nuts.
EDIT: Die hard sports fans are nuts.
I would have thought you liked DRRR!!.

Watched 4 episodes. Got bored of it. Izaya was cool, but the events happening around him just didn't grab me.

It's on my list, along with most of the other Mizushima comedies. I'm hoping they click for me better than Azazel. I did love the little I saw of Hare+Guu.
Same. There were too many characters to get me hooked so I didn't see the appeal to be honest.
My love for CCS is not new, but it has been reaffirmed by watching more of it.
The first time i watched it, it was more background noise as a moe distraction.
Now i am actually paying attention to whats going on.

sakura has homework but her reason for not getting it done might be the best one ever.
And who is this new character?
Came out of nowhere.

I really don't what is to do with, actually, but I'd be surprised if it had nothing to do with a skill set. Then again, I know next to nothing about animation.
It's the very definition of generic until near the end I think. How many episodes do you have left? Did the show take the crazy route already?
I'll have a watch later tonight.
That's a start.

Yokho and her bat are so adorable! And now the last two episodes and then maybe Record of Lodoss War or Riding Bean.

See, this is what people normally expect when you're given a show to watch. None of this "I'm actually kind of enjoying it" stuff.
So you were able to handle Yami but Shuffle is going to kill you?

New Prince of Tennis 2:
I've been waiting for this since they announced the new anime. I loved this match in the manga, getting to see Momoshiro's determination and getting the proper introduction to Oni. The Black Jack Knife is awesome. I'm looking forward to seeing what the anime does with the matches between the pairs now.

That just about does it, I think. At least, most of those shows are good and one is them is extremely memorable.
The gist of the story is this guy who REALLY SUCKS AS A PET OWNER had a bunch of pets that died.
But they were sent back by god (who is naturally a woman) to be his guardian angels and live with him.
Except that they still act somewhat like the animal they used to be and they have hair that resembles it too.
Also, each of them has some sort of phobia related to how they died.
For example, kurumi the hamster got lost and starved to death, so her phobia is starvation, so she eats a lot. Mika the rabbit tries to seduce him as rabbits tend to mate like crazy, and the bird is afraid of heights because she fell to earth during a storm or something.
Theres actually more to it than that and its really cute but sort of generic.

Of course for most people that's far more work then they're willing to invest.

Thank you for reminding me about STRAAAAAAAAYyyyyyYAAAYYY.
Trimming the fat is always wonderful when concerning Anime.
My top 3 from those would probably be...
1. Wandering Son
2. Madoka
3. Shiki
Blood-C is worth watching for the unique ride.
If you're a fan of the game then Persona 4 might be enjoyable.
I was also tempted to say Rainbow, but it was a bit too drawn out for my liking. Maybe check out the first episode?
Clearly I've been watching the wrong shows.
These should be the bare essentials.

You're a meanie. Just because she's only interested in world domination (of karuta).
Yeah, going to give Utena a couple days before I finish it after the kick to the nuts last night.
Princess Tutu 7
A wild antagonist appears.
I adore the show's presentation and wish I had the rest of the evening off so I could just marathon a good chunk.

Didn't think Ahiru would ditch being Princess Tutu like she did. Disappointed it wasn't drawn out a bit longer but eh. Also I'm back in the dark about Fakir's motivations.

Well, that's not really a ringing recommendation but at least you enjoyed some of it.
Yeah, it's like pure, hot dollops of sticky sweet moe. And a syaoran clone.

Meilin is awesome. That is all.
That was an enjoyable marathon. Thats all i brought with me to my parents house for the weekend, so no more Sakura until i get back to my house after work tomorrow morning.
I just got a new shipment in, so im looking at the following:
Kobato collection 2
Amagami SS collection 2 (finally in stock!)
Rozen Maiden Overture ova
Best Student Council
Heaven's Lost Property (sora no otoshimono)
And Yet the Town Moves ( Sore de mo Machi wa Mawatteiru)
What to watch before going to work?

[Chihayafuru 14]
This week Chihaya fully embraces the 'sport' aspect of the series.
Okay, this show is doing pretty well now. Fourteen episodes in and the show is still consistently good. I know that shouldn't be impressive but in a world of eleven episode productions it's nice to see a show that can maintain it's quality throughout. Unlike say, Hanasaku Irohana.
Anyway, onto the 'plot':
While this episode's direction isn't really as interesting or creative as last weeks that doesn't cause many problems because this episode is a lot simpler.

Anyway, onto the 'plot':
Chihaya vs. the Queen is hardly an unexpected showdown. If you're going to do a sports-type show you have to follow sports type conventions. That's why Chihaya has to face a real rival eventually, someone who can knock her back and actually cause her to lose. Something to shock her, as well as a target to aim for. Unsurprisingly, this episode follows that pattern pretty closely. The Queen is much stronger than Chihaya expects, she's on the ropes for awhile, but she finds her place again. It's a classic formula.
Following the classic formula isn't necessarily a bad thing though. It's survivde so long because, assuming you find the match exciting, it doesn't really matter about the formula being the same as ever. Keeping the tension high is a must and they do a pretty good job of it here. Chihaya is beaten down quite considerably before she can even take a card. I still expect to her lose because, after all, if she's invulnerable then what's the fun in watching her play?

Amagami SS or bust!
I just finished watching that SoreMachi set a couple of days ago. It was very pleasant. I'd go for that.

Which reminds me, more people watched that then Death Note, or at least its early ratings were higher. Weird.
It's nice to see people playing along from home!

To be honest, Space Thunder Kids is merely kinda quaint in its terribadness. I found it to be mostly just inane and boring and certainly not something either terribly hilarious or soul crushing. What I watched of it felt mostly like a waste of time.
I guess you can watch it so you can claim you managed to sit through the whole thing, but is that really an achievement?
Even when everyone watched STK in #animegaf together it got pretty boring at times.
Well, animating distant people walking isn't too hard in of itself. And obviously most shows still animate people walking by hand. It's definitely an issue of resources and time; if you look at most older shows, you're not going to see large crows of people moving around, they just use painted stills of crowds.

Bit more focus on the loli high schooler this time. Still, there's really not much to say when the show is 2 minutes. Just a "lol, drink some milk and you'll be tall" joke and some grocery shopping.

To be honest I don't know if you'd take to it that much, but yes, that also counts.Fixed?
Also, did you just imply that Sato and Ikuhara are closer to God than Oshii?

It's really not that great. It's worth watching for a couple minutes just so the shock that human beings thought this was an acceptable product to make can sink in, but it fails at even being entertainingly bad.
