I was going to recommend it to my sister who is extremely picky about anime until I realized that I'd have to explain to her what 2chan, Akibahara, maid cafes, cosplay, that Ackbar word you can't say on GAF, dating sims, and 2D waifus were before she could watch it. Based on her very limited experience with anime she would think it's hentai.

Obviously not everyone feels this way, but the end of Arabasta made me less likely to drop it even if the quality would dip a bit here and there. Really only had to tough it through Skypiea and Davy Back Fight because after that it just kept getting better and better.
Oops, guess this goes into the crow eating thread.
OP still has furries, albeit completely tasteful, non-sexual ones
that are actually just humans with a special power to transform

OP can get pretty furry at times, especially in filler.

All this mainstream talk is making me feel hipster.

Gintama is really more of a Comedy first Shounen second kind of show. It does have "serious" arcs every now and then that are very well done though.

No one likes poking fun at otakus more than otakus.
To get off that, enjoy this miracle of the internet: http://yooouuutuuube.com/v/?width=480&height=240&yt=fV0YSoTXsfU&flux=1

It's comedy first, heartfelt character drama second, and badass battle shounen third.

Not mainstream, but still too popular.
there are more geek references than otaku references really
and things like John Titor and CERN are enough to interest certain people
this is what the internet has done :|
Japan probably doesn't even call them furries and theres no inherent perversion

Sounds good. Am looking forward to it.

Jackie! One MORE THING: What voodoo is used to make these custom gifs without watermarks?
You can be hipster about it and say "kemono" instead.
Theres a certain person on gaf who has changed the meaning of that word
Nah, if you're on pixiv ケモノ is what you put in the search box.
I wish there was even more honestly. Would give me more reason to pay attention to the show.
Symphogear 8: Friendships renewed with Hibiki and Miku and new ones forged with Miku and Chris. I can see that wholesome threesome already. There was pretty derp scene with Miku and Hibiki on the bench. Lol art quality. If only the budget for this show a bit higher for the action scenes at least. Chris's armed gear is still pretty cool.
Nise 5: The Kaiki scene was cool (I thought he was drinking out of a candle at first, damn that would of been boss). I do like his money focused villainy, it's simple and discrete. I kind of doubt they'll explore what he'll actually do with it but it's a direct enough goal to make this guy fit his role. I was looking forward to Karen punching the dude but I guess he's not really a regular person despite being just human. Hanekawa with that godlike tease. The feeling of being a lottery winner given and stripped away in an instant. Amazing. Then we get to some sibling bonding. Oh Shaft. Other than the Kaiki scene, there wasn't that much of the usual banter though the initial Tsukihi/Koyomi bit was amusing enough.

That guide is only useful if you genuinely hate yourself. Especially since it doesn't include how to add your own subtitles to it.

What would you recommend if I only moderately hate myself?
I don't think intimate knowledge with any of this is required in order to get something positive out of Steins;Gate, or to understand the plot at large.

Whatever happened to Reg's erotic fanfic, anyways?

I'll be pissed if they kill off
Which they probably will. Fuck you preemptively, Yukito Ayatsuji!

It's actually the opposite, it keeps getting better with every arc, with the later arcs being better then the early ones and the characters really grow on you.

The Steins;Gate discussion on the previous page made me want to listen to Hacking to the Gate, the show's OP.
Yup, it's still awesome.

Wow, haters are gonna hate I guess. I really liked the Steins;Gate OP song and animation.
In unrelated news, filament (the second Mirai Nikki ED) is really awesome.

You cannot hurry art.
Steins;Gate OP is pretty cool, but c'mon.
Eh? Kyon was a bucket of cynicism, but he never directly called tropes to question/directly referenced memes. I'm not exactly seeing how Haruhi would be anymore self-aware than something like K-ON, which is say not aware at all.
...Son, are you hating on Itou Kanako? After even THIS!.
probably because you recognize the proper use of musical cues in the opening
its something many OPs make very little effort with
Certainly; it just creates uncomfortable questions for people who are uninitiated into otaku culture. For me personally, I'd have to explain why I know all of this stuff to begin with, and I kind of like my family and friends not thinking that I'm totally depraved, hah.
Not equating knowledge of otaku culture with depravity, of course.
