Oh hey, it's a Natsume episode without Natsume. Well, no, it's actually an OVA from the people who make Natsume about the relationship between a girl and a youkai, but it might as well be a Natsume episode.

Short as it is, it's actually classified as a movie rather than an OVA - it was made for (and played in) theatres (or theatre - might have been one of those things which only played in one place, I forget).

Finally caught up with this show, this episode wasn't as good as the last one but few things in life are. chino is hnnnnngh as fuck

I'm saddened to see you guys don't like apples. Saddened, I say.
I'm not really all that fond of bruised apples tbqh. :(

You don't really need to be currently watching anime to post here, though. There are some members who know pretty much nothing about the current season and instead just talk about Utena. Every day.
and there's nothing wrong with that!

also, I remember this show Having delicious facial expressions

Hey, man, I also post long reviews of old-ass anime no one cares about like The Star of Cottonland. :<

I could also respond to that style v. substance discussion a few pages back but I'd likely injure myself from banging my head too hard against my desk.

Ha! See I was thinking of you when I wrote that :p

Also, you should reply to that style/substance thing. Depending on which side you fall on, we can be nakamas.

Please don't respond to the style/substance thing. We should give it at least a week before it comes back around.

I'll be honest and admit I've only skimmed a majority of the thread (because 72 pages goddamn) so it could just be a case of the grass seeming greener. The discussions and arguments do seem more fun despite if it gets heated. There certainly seems to be less vitriol. Of course my opinion could just be a little colored because of how the last couple of arguments in the manga thread have gone.
Maybe you should watch more anime. Like anime from this season no less! To join in on the fun.
Would not recommend it.

But nah, there was quite some saltiness here recently despite the seemingly "fun" atmosphere here right now, but I wouldn't say that amount is regular here either.

Blade of the Immortal 8

I guess it comes with the territory, but this series is REALLY starting to feel like a poor man's champloo. Rin=fuu. Manji=Mugen. No Jin, but for an ep there. I wouldn't say that it's great, but hobochamploo has been kind of good.

My worry is the pacing. This had to be planned as a 2 cour given the methodical movement to it all, but there's only 13eps...Bee Train bomba.

Read the manga, don't even bother with Beetrain's adaptation. It's a partial adaptation of the first 5 volumes of the manga (which is on its final run with nearly 30 vols.). The anime is really lacking both in the artistry (you know, the manga is quite famous for its drawings and depiction of action scenes) and in the storytelling. It introduces many players which will become important characters later on, even before than the manga..... but the anime is only 1-cour. So it actually doesn't reach the point where they become useful, and also the point where the various plot threads come together, moving away from the episodic nature of the first volumes of the manga. Also, Anotsu is one of the greatest villain ever, but you get to see that much later on.
It's..... a wonderful manga and a very, very poor anime.

This show seriously has some awesome facial expressions. Very Soul Eater-esq.

Miki is quickly becoming one of my favorite characters. The way she invited herself into the kids baseball game was hilarious. This other hot-blooded dude isn't so bad either.

You guys always seem like you're having so much fun in here.


Why can't the manga thread be like this dammit

Mangagaf goes into the shitter whenever certain members decide that the shonen manga of their choice is better than the shonen manga someone else is reading.

I mean, it kinda happens here, but it just goes on and on and on over there.

What kills it is when certain members in the Mangaf thread devolve into personally insulting each other, it makes animegaf feel moe moe kyun despite the anime reccomendations that destroy people's souls.

Wait, since when did watching anime become a requirement?

That's because shows with shoujo-ai content typically try to give straight guys a boner, while shows with shonen-ai content typically try to make fangirls squee. -_-

Yeah, but my disinterest in Yuri content probably has a lot more to do with the fact that I have no interest in lesbianism to begin with.

Aquarion Evol 9

Well Andy finally gets a chance
but Amata stands in his way
. Bros before holes and other donut hole references were kind of funny and hilarious. Otherwise, Andy for second favorite character after Amata and Kagura. Pretty solid episode
even if the Big Bang Union Redux just stood there
. The best song played and the union was most memorable all the lines for all of them, were great.

It's so cheeky. And campy. And cheeky.

Oh lawd. Will I have to pick this up again? I thought it was average after the first two episodes.
 
Mirai Nikki 20

OMG so gooood!! =D
I guess one could say that Eleventh already knows that Yukki is coming and decided not to do anything since Ninth was a more of an immediate threat than Yukki and Yuno. Also I wonder if the show will touch upon what happened to the other prototype diaries since Eleventh still has his watcher, or if the other prototypes became the basis for the rest of the diaries in the game and were never really given to a certain person. ^^;;

It is average, however you get moments like the philosophy behind digging and filling holes and piloting a mecha naked to increase the sensory sensitivity to enable to avoid attacks more efficiently.

Ginrama - 248

Who wants to be a madaonaire? Classic Hasegawa episode.

Just remember that Aquarion may not be a "comedy" per se, but it is by no means a serious mecha show.

Yuri and lesbianism are pretty different, IMO. "Yuri" to a Western fan is a fantasy of girls groping each other and endlessly professing their devotion in suggestive ways that bear no resemblance to how anyone actually talks (replace "yaoi" and "boys" where appropriate).

Have you seen Aoi Hana, incidentally?

No. I looked it up and don't really think I'd watch it.

To clarify I don't really seek out lesbian porn, so I don't really seek out Yuri fanservice shows either. I don't have a fascination or fetish for it.

Well, see, that's what I was going for with Aoi Hana, because it is neither lesbian porn nor yuri fanservice. It's just a show about lesbians who are school girls.

It's not that I disagree with you - I'm more likely to watch shows with BL themes as the fanservice is usually more emotional than physical and it somehow feels less demeaning to me as a bloke to have topless dudes in ridiculous poses, even though most BL shows have terrible characterisation and boring storylines - but there is a little more nuance to what "yuri" is as a genre/theme/whatever you want to call it than the ridiculous pandering that most people seize on.

Gintama 248 - It's weird seeing a
Slumdog Millionaire
parody of all things, but Madao stories are always welcome.

The troll ending wasn't as crazy as I expected it to be though, but Madao was trolled pretty damn hard throughout the episode. The one gag with the
attempted hanging at the school
really got me.

I can't remember the last time I watched this, but I know it's been more than a decade.
Time to refresh the memory.
