the show felt like showing off their perceived cleverness with a /b/ grade line that killed the mood of the scene.

Yeah, he was being a troll, whatever. No excuse for memes and a line that wasn't even in English.

Yes, I mad.
Punishment is only fitting when it's the most unjust or something.

Maybe you should pay attention more.
Maybe I should. I was thinking all along it was the 10th of October. Never the less, at least, its not a stupid advert. 3D movie makes me raise an eyebrow. Well atleast 009 cyborg is not dead...

Piss off Kamiyama

I've been reading too much manga lately. So behind.

Here is what is on my radar from a quick list check, confirmed watches are crossed-out.

Chihayafuru (totally my style)
Fate/Zero (duh)
Ika2 (geso)
Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai (I read the manga)
Shakugan no Shana III (Final) (have to, seen all the other Shana)
Guilty Crown (probably watch at comic-con on Friday)
Working!! (I enjoyed the first season)
C3
Majikoi ~ Oh! Samurai Girls!
Maken-ki!
Mashiro-iro Symphony: The Color of Lovers
Persona 4 The Animation


Of the 5 left, any mistakes or anything missing? I'm tired of sampling shit shows. You don't have to mention continuing series like Penguin. I'm only looking at new additions.

EDIT:
Dating sim adaptations...some/all must go.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck. That was quite the episode.
Poor Himari. The whole way the episode was put together, with the flashbacks and the story Shoma was telling while Kanba was trying to save the day with his dick all worked together really well and made the episode stand out. Definitely one of the weirder 'death episodes' that I've ever seen.

One more episode to be caught up.

It's just like the Tea Party in here!

I think the important thing to note is that:

me = right
you = wrong

Follow this basic rule and your time in AnimeGaf will be roses and umm... penguins.

Tamayura, and Phi Brain. Both first episodes were enjoyable, particularly Tamayura(at least for me anyway), and are at least worth your time to check out. Un-Go may be worth watching as well.

So wait, Fate Zero is actually good?
I thought you guys hated Fate/Stay night whatever.
Personally I loved the first series.

Most people hated the first episode of fate/zero, but there were a few like duckroll and myself that enjoyed it. FSN is another matter, while I thought it was average, I dont think many people here liked it. I'm certainly finding Fate/Zero to be more compelling.

Kill that fucking MC permanently and it would have been a better show.

I hate that fucking dumbass.

Let's be clear here. Everyone hates Fate/Stay Night. That has not changed!
Except me of course,, though it has a LOT to do with Saber and how fucking awesome she was. Well it has a little to do with Rin's zettai ryouiki too.

Ah yea, the noitamin. I'll add, thanks.

Last Exile...IDK. I am a huge fan of the original but no Claus/Lavie seems blasphemous.

Too many shows! I demand that at least 6 be shutdown immediately.

-I have to hear more about Tamayura. It appears aimless from the description defaulting to daily life. I can handle shows more like Ikoku or Iroha since they have plot-lines no matter how throw-away they are.

-I just can only handle so much shounen with regard to Phi Brain. It probably has to do with following a shit-ton of shounen manga. I can handle like a small group with the anime but no much more. I'll follow the write-ups here though and maybe it will knock a shounen off the list.
 
Instro said:
Yeah he was pretty awful.

the most grating thing was the sound he made when he seemed angry because no one gives a shit about his stupid opinion.

Now imagine if she wasn't held back by that dumbass.

should have made Rin summon her like originally planned

That would have been awesome/hot as fuck.


Wasn't that the show where some dumb translator put "People die if they are killed"?

I enjoyed Fate/Stay Night in spite of its flaws, mostly because of Rin. Still, based on the first episode, Zero looks like it should be a much better show.

Rin x Saber
magical circuit exchange?
Would burn into retinas.

Shiro is one of the worst protagonists ever.
Who the hell jumps in front of Saber against Hercules? If I was him I'd let the girl fight. She's a super saiyan and Shiro is a namek peasant. Go to the corner and trace.

Yea its that show.

Is it what was actually said, i'm not sure but i wouldn't be surprised if he actually said something that stupid.

I said this before the first ep aired that it should be better automatically since the MC does'nt matter here. But we shall see if something else messes it up.

Indeed but it would be so good :p

And the worse thing he doesn't have a good reason to.

If she was really weak i could understand but his reasons was because she was a girl and this whole fight is wrong in his opinion (though this could be debated as a decent reason).

Yeah, it was simply a baffling moment of stupidity by him. Shiro's ridiculous 'women should be protected because they're dainty flowers' stance was the most frustrating element of watching that show.

Yea, I meant that in a good way. More like a yuri

I'm fine with that.

That's what drives me crazy about FSN.
Shiro has the worst protection complex in anime. Yet, he is weak and absolutely stupid to boot. I get sacrifice to save someone. That doesn't work here because why does Shiro getting slaughtered save anyone? I also get using your power to save someone. Shiro though is only a slab of meat who can make weapons on the BACK-LINE.

That is wrong, wrong, wrong.

Saber > Rin > Sakura.
This is correct.
Sakura was just...there.
She just kind of existed. And had purple hair.

Also, I didn't photograph it when I posted pics of the house, but a wallscroll of Saber is elegantly covering up a very large hole in the wall where my roommate passed out drunk one night. Saber is an incredibly useful girl.

He does stupid things but I felt Shiro had a good reason to act as he did. The whole wanting to be a hero (like his father) and protecting people. Better for him to get hurt and suffer than for others to, especially if it is happening in front of his eyes.

Shiro was just a doormat White Knight. He couldn't help it.
I used to be the same way but then I realized that I was getting my ass kicked for no particularly good reason.

and It started with a hentai game and now it has a very complicated and deep story.

I really wouldn't think it qualifies for H-game status when about 2% of it's content is actual hentai. I think something like Do You Like Horny Bunnies? is more fitting with that label.

That's not really a "good" reason though. It's a deranged one.
Protection complexes are everywhere in manga/anime but they don't delve into complete nonsense all the time like Shiro. The person he is "saving" is basically a battle god.
