Just keep watching, you might change your mind.
My body is ready.
Yo you can't just post that man! You need that build up...
I'm inclined to agree but transformation wise....
I didn't want to be the one to break it to you!

At least it's not as bad as when
they blew up that whole planet on episode 9. I mean, it exploded in about ten minutes so there's no way everyone got off alive. Genocide on an intergalactic scale!

Musings on Another 05:
Thinking further on it, it's clear that Mei can't be the ghost. At this point we not only know that Mei is real, we also know that she can't be the ghost because her cousin died and Mei was visiting her dead body in the morgue in episode 1. Which is actually more creepy now that we know Mei is human, who the hell visits their dead cousin's body in the hospital morgue? You're cuter than is legally allowed Mei, but damn you're creepy!
I still want Misaki Mei as Mai Waifu. ^^
We now also know what the title 'Another' references, it's talking about how the cursed Class 3 always has 'another' student who isn't human.

I think it makes sense because they can cross over the brand appeal of Studio Ghibli with a well known property like The Borrowers.
But Ponyo had better sakuga!
I, er, yes. Well.

Definite watches:
- Fate/Zero S2

- Space Bros.
- Tsuritama
Possible watches:
- Dusk Maiden of Amnesia
- Eureka Seven AO

Morbidly curious about:
- Haiyore! Nyaruko-san
- that Saki spinoff
That's what I said!

By the time Toei got to animate Moonlight's transformation sequence they had obviously already run out of money.
The finale made the cheapness worth it though.

You guys are so tsun for Chiaki. Bow down to your Omigawa overlords.

Only two people have mentioned Ozuma. :/ teh fuck
Gotta watch AKB for the possible life lessons man.
I know you will be crushed if Omigawa isn't doing it.
Well technically it starts in March so its not really a true Spring show I suppose.

Why does that sound really terrible?
Easy if you're not watching anything right now.
I guess I'll catch up to, uh, Chihayafuru.
Time to go along with the hivemind.
Spring watch list:
- Tsuritama
- Space Bros
- Tasogare x Amnesia
- Sankarea
- Nazo no Kanojo (The manga just dragged and dragged, hopefully a little more excitement from the anime)
- Zetman
- Saint Seiya
- Appolon
- Ozuma
- Hyouka (Really looking forward to this one)
So much better than the current season. I'M READY FOR YOU SPRING.
1 month apparently

To be fair, it only feels like we're approaching another season because this thread is nearly at 18,000 posts. Of course, we're only half-way through Winter at this point.

You know, it just occurred to me that during all my time here I've only ever witnessed one perma, and that one was set by someone who's not a moderator anymore.
edit: Actually, I'm mistaken, I doubt that AngelSoldier is ever coming back so that raises the number of permas I've witnessed to 2.

I get the feeling that Kouchi is the person who is already dead, which would be rather cliche so I hope that's not what will happen.
I started the trend bro!

It's not like people get perma-banned in this kind of thread.
You're wrong, but I would prefer she not get this role as I'd prefer not to try watching it.
Also, why is GAF dying on me?

Nope, I never saw the thread where it happened. One day he was banned and I never found out why.

I just wish cajunator keeps on watching cute things. I sometimes get the feeling that he needs this thread as a way to vent from all the stupid shit in his life.
Oh good. I thought it was just me.

Yup, all the pieces fit with Kouichi being the 'other'. You'll notice that anybody else who acknowledges the existence of Mei dies almost immediately, except for Kouichi. How is this possible? Because he is already dead, he can't die again!
Incidentally, the guy who left the note for Kouichi to go ask Mei what's really going on, he's going to die next based on this theory since in order to leave the note he had to acknowledge Mei's existence.
This is also kind of sad really, because the next episode implies him and Mei falling in love, which will inevitably end with Mei's heart being broken because he's dead and will likely vanish at the end of the year. Poor Mei's been through a lot. She's being ritually removed from existence for the collective good of the whole class, though she seems accepting of the role and even warns Kouichi to stay away from her. She's so kind and self-sacrificing to let her classmates do that to her. Despite being a bit creepy, she would be such a gentle and wonderful Waifu. <3 It would be cruel to have her fall in love with a ghost after all she's been through, although the lyrics of the OP really imply that's exactly what will happen. ;_;
In unrelated news, Mei says her doll eye lets her see things which should be unseen. Does this mean she can see ghosts? If so, shouldn't she already know exactly who the ghost is, including if it's Kouichi?

I think Himuro was the one ban I never agreed with. It happened in the post pictures of yourself thread.

Being a cockwad to fellow GAFfers is generally frowned upon.
They won't get to Kumagawa, so it's going to suck. Because lets be real the first part of the manga is ehh @ best. If New Gainax is smart they'll at least have the opening scene feature Unzen so that everyone who watches the first episode doesn't think it's a Sket Dance knockoff.
Really sucks we'll never see Kumagawa's arc animated
Ideally the first episode of Medaka Box will just cover like half of the first chapter before the screen tears like a page and Kumagawa hops out and he's like yeah isn't this shit boring let's just skip ahead and boom we speed up to the end of the
and kumagawa is pimping out with his crew and the ED starts playing. Fuck ya.
flask arc
Yeah I've been thinking along the same lines.
I certainly wouldn't be surprised if Mei's eye turns out to have some sort of powers. Kouchi disappearing at the end wouldn't surprise me either.

Using that image is cheating. The film has other cool pieces of imagery y'know!

It actually makes me think of the ending of Final Fantasy X. If done properly, this sort of ending could be very good, just like FFX's ending was.
I cried at the end of FFX. Deal with it.
However, the whole show has been red herrings left and right, so it might turn out in a few more episodes that it was completely something else, again. Only one thing is certain here: Yukito Ayatsuji is going to keep us guessing until the end!
He'll use All Fiction to wipe out the boredom of the viewers.
I never thought that Kumagawa was a particularly good character - apart from a very few chapters here and there, he was just as bad as the rest of the awful cast of Medaka Box.
I really can't think of too many spring shows that interest me yet, but considering the winter season isn't even halfway done yet, there's plenty of time to find something worth watching.
Also, I'll only watch Mysterious Girlfriend X if
Chiaki voices the main girl. 
That doesn't mean I don't feel jipped!

Yeah, Mei is not that bad.
Yumeria - 01
Well, that was uneventful. Loser protagonist hasn't ever gotten a girlfriend until his sweet 16 changes everything apparently. What a special number. Indeed, because what's with sweet 16s and the monene? I almost had enough cash to fund the creation of Yumeria at they rate they were going with it. The only good thing so far about this is having Kikuko Inoue with that motherly voice we all recognize her for. Otherwise, the plot is pretty boring, and the harem setting almost does nothing for me. Although admittedly
Actually, I have more questions regarding the harem setting than anything about the plot. What's Mikuri and Mizuki's prior relationship before this encounter we're shown? Why was Mikuri even giving us a boring self-introduction about himself of being a virgin when he somehow managed to corralled this girl, Mizuki, by the time he was in high school? And she's an honor student apparently, so how did he succeed to do this? Is Mizuki even important or is Mone the most important girl character?
Or is Mizuki the harem requirement to make this a harem setting and nothing more? In any case, the heroines are dull.

Mizuki's joke about how Mikuri's dreams are an embodiment of his desires was a funny explanation for the plot.
