What more could you really ask for in a show?

I thought about that after I posted it :/
Wrong about what? Everyone has their own values on what's inferior entertainment. I don't see what's inherently better in wasting time on bad romcoms than watching haremshit. They're both catering to their respective audiences and formed that niche.
So it's a spoiler then.

So they go Dark PreCure? It would be a first for the franchise.

It's a WSJ series that starts out as a typical romcom but genre shifts into a battle shounen relatively early because of weak ratings. At that point, Nisioisin decided to have as much fun with the plot as he could. Lots of trolling going on, but it felt so right.
Then a character so amazing gets introduced that calling him one of the best characters in fiction wouldn't feel like an overstatement. The guy can be the source of multiple asspulls yet he can pull that off without feeling cheap. In other words, this is a guy whose very existence surpasses standard story-telling conventions.
So that's why people are hyped.

- Good characters that I care about.
- An interesting story which excites my interest.
- Consistent tone and pacing.
- Great action sequences.
Etc.
Cosmic, you deserve an award. This is easily the most concentrated passage of hype I've ever read.
Unfortunately, none of it is true. The character in question is one of the worst in the series, tied only with the titular character.
So wrong. I mean, cosmic goes way overboard with the praise, but w/e.
I could have sworn this was licensed already, but anyway: NISA has picked up Otome Youkai Zakuro, set for a sub-only DVD release with art book in the middle of June.

Well, it's a fairly recent topic for conversation. It'll take a few more months before it becomes really old news.

When is NISA going to announce a release time frame for Natsume?
Alright, ignoring medaka, who do you think is the worst character?

Wow character sounds as on par with natsu, tsuna, and ace, guess it will be amazing. Hopefully its battle swiftly so I dont lose interesting.
I thought so too because I could have thought I read that plot synopsis before.
Have yet to see anything NISA pick up that I want, oh maybe Brave 10, I guess, if I can get over my love hate relationship of it.

Asks questions so Ezalc doesn't have to
Sorry, I just couldn't resist! :3
Seriously?
But did they even get attacked in the first place? Haha. That's a weird subtitle. As someone said in the series - I'm thinking of Homura -, Kyubey's kind isn't malicious towards humanity.

The problem is that it can very easily be otaku fodder if they go that way, which is precisely when the show go from "fun" self-aware to going up its own ass.
Bravo sir, I'll at least give the show a shot now.
These are desperate times! You can't afford to be that picky about the anime you consume.

Well the problem is it doesn't actually start out "good". Maybe a bit amusing, but rather generic. However, it will all be worth it if it gets to the aforementioned character.

I'll be picking this up, it's a fantastic series. One of my favorite single cour series in recent years, actually.

As the times are desperate it's all the more reason to be picky! Why waste your life on bad anime?

It's from this article. Another translation of it is
Incubator Strikes Back.
the incubators are upset about what Madoka did, which threw the universe out of whack, hence the demons. Maybe the demons attacked the incubators too. With Urobuchi, I don't know what to expect.
This is why I gave up on K-ON
I don't know if I'm looking for a serious commitment right now. I hope we can still be friends!

Some people enjoy shows in the harem genre and so, like everything else, once you enjoy a variety of things in a certain category it becomes inevitable that they will be ranked against each other.
Still, I don't enjoy such shows, so it seems to equivalent to sorting faeces into different categories.

9 episodes of Nisemonogatari later...
Smile Precure 02
3 out the 5 Precure are semi-serious athletes of one type or another. That seems high.
If Madoka has influenced nothing else in this series, then at least it informed the design of the Pierrot Countdown Clock. Seriously, it conveys menace surprisingly well.
Cure Sunny's transformation is so kickass. Fire, fire!

Another great, unnerving episode. I hate how
at the beginning, hahaha.

they show the last episode's death
Man, that school trip to the mountain was something else, huh?
In other news, everyone I care about is still alive! But judging by Akazawa's tears in the preview, not for long.

Not me. I'm off the train till Kizu.
I guess that could happen, yeah.
Although Kyubey states during his final talk with Homura that "there'd be no way to prove" her memories of what happened and how the universe was altered by Madoka's actions... So they can't really be angry over something they aren't aware of, unless they really trust Homura's words.
I don't know about that...

Those arcs weren't as bad as Nise's worse episodes.
The direction is also fairly weaker in Nise on a bad episode than Bake was.
Ultimate Girl 5
Cajun continues to destroy me with this show.
The setup for this episode is the tried and true cosplay cafe.
In comes the stereotypical manga-writer monster, complete with luchador mask.
For your own good, I won't post any pictures of the fight, but it involves moe attacks and sticky white fluids.
And of course, it ends with misunderstands and that annoyingly classy ED.

Sadly, the studio is so cheap they had to use real-life photography for the backgrounds.
Poor Vivienne, her yuri longings for Silk will never be realized.

It should be illegal to desecrate Sailor Moon in this fashion, but alas, it isn't.

I'm kind of surprised this is the first thing I've seen that shows the true sexy potential of sleep-learning.

Don't count the story out just yet! I mean, we haven't even really gotten to it yet.
Oh, God, who am I kidding, this is going to be a disaster!
You know you keep coming back for those opening and closing sequences.
I really don't think Lagrange's OP is anything special, why do you like it so much?

Oh, Nanako, so adorable.
I gotta say, really impressed at how well they did this segment in the anime compared to the game. Really left me with a much stronger emotional impact than what the game did.
