Could you give an example of what you consider a bad anime trope?
For now I'll play it safe and say Planetes.

It'll probably cost you an arm and a leg and another arm.
So an hour delay which isn't bad.

It would be one of the three anime Id import at any cost (Eva tv BD (if its subbed and dubbed), Sacred Seven Complete Set, and Gundam Age Complete set, if their subbed))

Seitokai Yakuindomo OVA5
I really miss this stupid show. lol
I mean, these aren't technically jokes any more... but I prefer sex humour to reference porn humour I guess. That and the dichotomy of girls being sexual without being completely depraved and objectified.
Also, who doesn't love a hungry Kobayashi?

Power of friendship preachy speeches(*cough*Naruto)
Overly exaggerated emotions and characters acting extremely illogical.
Don't put too much too much stock in this, I'm generally alright with this stuff..........just a little less than I was before.

You should watch Phi Brain its pretty good, as well as Little Busters and Koi to Senkyo To chocolate, and even Accel World, No. 6, Star Driver, Guilty Crown, and K. That should be a good start for good anime to check out.

Seitokai Yakuindomo OVA 5
I too have missed this stupid show.
This was definitely one of my favorite episodes in the series. They've just perfected the dumb dick jokes and other nonsense style of comedy, it's brilliant. Why does butt ass Ichizon get a second season and not this?
Totally thought they were going for a seiyuu joke here.

You are aware he did say he wanted to stay away from bad anime tropes lol.

Hey, if Anno actually had the gusto to do something like that just to troll his fanbase even harder I'd kind of have to respect him more than I currently do.

I really want to comment about this one... but well let's notSeitokai Yakuindomo OVA5
Who doesn't indeed.
Also, who doesn't love a hungry Kobayashi?
Meanwhile, he will reserve the best of his own 'traditional' skills for The Wind Rises! His willingness to work under Mr. Miyazaki orders again to "animate those Horikoshi's Zero Fighters" is fantastic news for fans of his mechanical animation porn!
Whoa, good news.
Yanderes and gory waifus?
Looks like you're set then.
Proceed!
What shows were in the mystery box?
Damned right we are, brother AWESOMEBEAR!
I do quite enjoy the transformation scene in Futari Wa Precure, as rudimentary as it is. Being a dual transformation its a pretty classy and elegant transformation and the outfit designs are super cute. Plus the music is my third favorite transformation music in the series. I look forward to seeing others.

Pyscho-Pass] 12 - Whatever we're on now
Okay so I had a bit of time to kill and I felt like getting duckroll off my back so I decided to catch up on this series.
I think the nicest thing I can say about Pyscho-Pass it's really easy to digest, as long as you're willing to skip through all the boring stuff.
So, I have a number of observations on the series which I know that absolutely no-one is dying to hear. Firstly, the show still looks like ass. I can't compliment any area of the visual design whether it's backgrounds, character designs, colour or animation: it all looks bad. I really don't know what Production I.G. are playing at because this is an unusually unattractive looking work.
Secondly, if this was the place the story was going to go (and we all knew it was going to go here eventually) why bother with all the foreplay? Imagine if, to pick another Gen work, Madoka had been 24 or 26 episodes long? Do you think it would have benefited the storyline in any way? The characters? The overall message? The amount of time wasted at the start of the series is quite staggering when you think about how quickly they could have set up this world and it's character. Three episodes would have been just enough to establish everything. Instead they dragged it out and out for no real benefit - the characters aren't any better developed because they're all flat and boring. The world building was largely carried out by endless villain monologues/dialogues and none of it was strictly necessary.
Did I mention that the writing in this show is seriously questionable? The majority of the dialogue is extremely stale and the only times an exchange is noticeable is because of some horrific philosophy/sci-fi reference. Ugh.
Finally, and this is more of a minor point, but the number of plot points that make no sense at all is really quite staggering. The amount of stupid and unbelievable things that have occurred during this last arc is totally off the charts. Plot problems aren't that important when everything else about a show works - although unfortunately that isn't the case here.
Now, I don't want to confuse anyone here - I don't hate the show. It isn't worthy of my ire, or my attention. It's a thoroughly average and unremarkable work that only achieved notability because it's literally the only show in town for fans of this kind of setting.

Wait didn't they already confirm the existence of episode 19 in this one ?
Are they planning to make a 13 episode set of oavs ?
They even changed some pictures in the opening !

The Alter K-On Ritsu and Mugi figures with instruments, Wave Nurse Witch Komugi, Kotobukiya Kuroyukihime, and a shipment of various animu from rightstuf. I work my ass off all those extra hours. You'd better believe I'm gonna get some enjoyment out of the deal XD

Sorry SDBurton, even Japanese animated gif guy agrees that blue x green is the canon pairing.
Funny enough, he did a Kotoura version too.

I'll refrain from posting suggestive images this time.
Still wish this wasn't just endless OVAs but a weekly show.

Depending on how you see it, it can be an effective and tragic series or an exploitative one. I personally loved it.

. I'd at least like to try to get that Ritsu, but I'm holding off on spending too much right now. At least beyond what I already have committed to.Well it is the source of that motion.

If that's what you want, you should absolutely watch it.

It's kind of sad because you can tell the OVA is being made on a shoe-string budget. lol
I'll admit I'm rather jealous
You don't want to know what I had to shell out for Ritsu and Mugi alone.
It seems that the elaborate instruments as well as Alter brand and K-On popularity made the prices skyrocket. That one bit the wallet hard.

Yeah. Of course, they don't really need to show anything other than the sex joke punchlines anyway. lol

IDK, they were the first pair to do an actual dual tech and had an episode dedicated to sporty-competition-bonding-stuff to get there. Yo dawg I heard you like sporty Precures so etc.
Even without SDBurton's YURI EYE I don't recall any other episode matching two characters up that heavily.
