Those posts wouldn't exist if no-one claimed episode one "didn't have much fanservice" or episode two had "no fanservice".

I'm sorry everyone!
If I wanted to pass judgement I'd say something like: "The number of male-gaze shots, revealing outfits and exploitative camera work within this title seems unnecessary considering the light-hearted nature of the material. It doesn't really add anything to the show and it's removal would make the show more accessible."
Well, I'm not really talking about how fanservice operates in anime as a whole, I'm just making a comment about it in this particular case. I haven't even passed judgement on it's usage, I'm just confirming that it is present.

But it didnt have a pink haired meowing naked serial killer.
I was at a talk with Ryousuke Takahashi last year, and even he struggled to explain what the heck Gasaraki was all about...

Gotta say I like the show much more when isn't the Natsu show. Lucy got a good fight with Loki, Juvia was awesome and Kana was crap as usual.
Too bad, it's back to the Natsu show next episode.

Never saw any of the trailers for the movies.
Words that will echo through the annals of history!
It's too late for apologies. I will fax you my dry cleaning bill.

You like Lucy fights? I like Cana moments in the anime, her skills are nice, though Im only up to episode 24. (and a recent episode or two).
Natsu is nice...but do they still reuse his skill animations even at 45 episodes in?
The antithesis of hnnnngh.

Lucy isn't terrible. Up to where I am, her fights are less summon the right one to get an OHKO, but instead it was pretty well done. Though, it could just be due to all Loki.
I don't think they still reuse the same animations for Natsu. That or they cut down on the length of it where it isn't noticeable anymore.
I dont mind serious or plodding shows. Gasaraki was just fucking boring. I mean literally I cant get through a single episode of it without zoning out and falling asleep. It is so incredibly boring.
Oops I meant to quote something else.
But I didnt like Gantz because it was just a bunch of violence with no real point to it and the art is hideous.
Even if I had watched Gantz for the aforementioned reasons, I would leave disappointed.
The movies might as well be considered being made by Ghibli. They're that good.
That's because Gantz the anime sucks.
It's among my 4 most hated anime series which are not THAT bad (okay, Gantz is pretty bad, the worst of the four), but I hate them purely for having a huge fanbase that mislead me while I was an inexperienced anime fan.
The other 3 are Samurai Deeper Kyo, Hellsing and Kimi Ga Nozomu Eien.
The last one especially - second highest rated anime of all time on Animenfo (does anyone remember this site?), that shit really fooled me.

Rinne no Lagrange 02: Pretty standard as far as pilots rediscovering their motivation to pilot plots go. Still, it's hard not to get excited about this show. It feels like someone is actually having fun when animating this, either for the mecha or the cute girls. It's definitely more bodacious than Bodacious Space Pirates.
The mecha being CGI in airship mode and 2D in Gundam mode is weird.

I like Hellsing and KGNE.
Those shows are ok. KGNE is way too melodramatic though. I bought it as "Rumbling Hearts".
The character designer/animation director is an ex-Ghibli animator.
There's something wrong with people who do like Gantz. Assuming they're not just teenagers.

We hardly see this poster anymore (unless there was a name change like Aigis)
Why do you say that?
I remember them having Twelve Kingdoms listed as having 63 episodes. I waited forever for episodes 46-63, but they never came

He's banned, see:http://www.neogaf.com/forum/member.php?u=65283
Nah, banned.
Because it feels like a misanthropic screed by a teenage hipster who thinks making unironic trash is ironic.
I still dont understand how anime can be pretetious, or how someone knows when something is being specifically pretentious.
So in english you mean a show that knows it is fucked up shit and thrives on that notion.

I still think you should watch Soredemo. It's really not about maids.
I dunno. Ergo Proxy?
The word is thrown around way too often.

A work is only as pretentious as its audience perceives it to be. That's why you have people who are practically guaranteed to "hate" a work person X makes because they've already made up their mind as to whether person X is pretentious or not, as opposed to person Y who's work they will worship no matter how crap the end product, because they're convinced that person isn't pretentious, but rather brilliant.
This is a legit example of pretentiousness.
Of course the bigger problem is how boring it is.
monocles try to hard to....monocle.
Sounds like the definition of a fanboy.
::adds "pretentious" to list of words not to mention here, next to EVA and K-ON and some others I don't remember::
I say it is pretentious because I think I would've enjoyed it more if I was very into literary analysis.
(Which I'm not, seeing as how Nise is already my AOTY)

It is eerily reminiscent isn't it?
