Not like she did a bad job with Hôrô Musuko...

I'm going to guess AnoHana and Gosick turned out good in spite of her involvement, rather than because of it. If BRS is anything to go by, that is.

Sure they did. AnoHana was a top 10 anime of 2011.

And PSG was the #1 anime of 2010, then?

I respect the will of the people. Even if they are wrong once in a while.

- Jazz music from Yoko Kanno
- Award-winning josei manga
For Sakamichi no Apollon to be a trainwreck, it would have to be one of the greatest disasters anime has ever witnessed.
What a pessimist.
Sure AnoHana turned out good, it was an alright 3 episode OVA.
Amagami SS+ - 08
How sweet, now to endure Sae for the next 2 episodes hoooraaay. -_-

Clearly, AnimeGAF needs to have a representative democracy. Everyone knows straight democracy doesn't work.
I certainly hope there aren't more people like you.I can't seriously be the only person who does that

I'd say "Why u hatin' on X-Men", but in some sick twisted way I can see it.

If it's any consolation, I used to de-widen wide headed Madoka in an avatar.

Old people are experienced, your Grandpa could teach you a thing or two.
Ask him what he thinks of AnoHana sometime.
I've been changing the aspect ratio back (temporarily) to take screenshots for GAF lately and this is the thanks I get? D:
You could land a plane on that head.
Anyway, it's only a problem for anime not native 16:9. I don't know how many of the anime I've watched this last few years that includes, but it's bound to be a majority.
Hanasaku Iroha wasn't too bad either, from the few episodes i've watched so far
Careful. That's a goddess's forehead you're spouting insults at!

Every week posts like these tempt to me to get into the show, but every week I resist.
Why would that even tempt you, the show is just plain bad, I can only imagine that these people saying "lol" are just laughing at themselves for continuing it.

I wonder if these two things are connected...
In the previous thread Thoraxes mentioned the one scenario in which Sae's SS+ arc could turn out amazing. Maybe he'll be so kind as to lay out the gory details again if he sees this.
The fact that BRS TV is "only" 8 episodes is my only hope for survival at this point.
Even in the context of Guilty Crown as an abject failure it is nowhere near charming enough to leave any impression that isn't empty regret.
Steins;Gate 25
Because some things are more important.
Fluff episode, but I was glad to see people again. Maybe I'm just a sap like that.
Two things:
Is it really that hard to find someone who knows how to pronounce English words to play native English-speaking characters? Even Penguindrum managed that much.
And, thanks to the law of conservation of characters, it seems like the taxi driver is the same guy who Okabe met in that Akihabara alley. And he's the only taxi driver in LA.
Speaking of which, this is some crazy bizarro universe LA. I don't know how I feel about it being represented this way, as this weird mix of Japan and some fascist police state where you can't make exaggerated gestures on the street while speaking a foreign language.

That and just laughing at how a show that started off with some promise has spun for far out of control. Jex, you're better off not watching. I only continue because I'm already so far in.
Just watched the OVA this morning and I found it awesome. Then again I'm a massive Steins;Gate fan. The games, the anime, the merchandise. Give it all to me. Can't wait for the movie.
It's not really the law of conservation of characters, it's more an easter egg showing that in this world line the pin badge mister never goes to Japan and becomes a Taxi driver in LA. The whole thing about Okabe being arrested is first time he says he's come to conquer and second time it was for comedic purposes.
The maid cafe is there in LA as Feyris sets one up for the time when she's in LA for the tournament she's going to (the rai-net battle one which is why they all get to go in the first place) . I really don't get what you mean about the native speaker stuff though.

So this show actually ends at 22? Welp they immediately dealt with the trashy side characters and lol at that nonsense his mom was spouting. Well

I just hope that crocodile army officer that I forgot his name and Gai's strategist actually get to the bottom of this and at least, try in vain to actually get an explanation for everything that happened and will soon happen like why Gai is now Sephiroth and have at you.
Don't get me wrong. I liked the episode. Just nitpicking at stuff.
I'm talking about the way that, say, the guy at customs at the airport says "What's the purpose?" or the way the weather girl on the TV talks. It's a pretty thick Japanese accent, not that far from how Okabe sounds in English. It'd mean nothing to their audience, so it's not surprising that they don't care, but it's weird from my perspective.
In Penguindrum, their VA clearly has no idea what he's doing, but at least his accent is right.

It's best that you keep their identities secret, to protect them.

I an throughly confused, not only by the latest Black Rock Shooter episode, but to why you guys are still watching Guilty Crown.
So you're confused as to why people still watch Guilty Crown, and yet you're still watching BRS? hmmmm....

I dropped it after episode 12:
Gai's death scene was so damn hilarious. I think it is the only time I've unintentionally laughed out loud due to something be so terrible.
Well, there's been 18 episodes for you all to drop the show. Thankfully I got it over with after the first episode.
I've still yet to check out BRS, though. What shall I do D:
You can stay sane, or you can let the show carve the suffering out of you.
*gulp* Well, that certainly piques my interest but that's how these shows typically catch you...
