They did the OP for AnoHana. I'd say its doomed. I like AnoHana's OP though even if thats the only thing I like about it.darkside31337 said:

They also did one of the OPs for Oofuri. Gundam AGE not doomed!
So GAF's amazement after episode 11 prompted me to go back an watch Blood-C. Five boring episodes, then a point where you think plot is going to start, then it doesn't, then episodes nine, ten, and eleven all going the unintentionally hilarious route (
). Awesome, and the NicoNico comments keeping score for Saya made it even better.
Trying to decide what to watch next: Steins;gate or Code Geass? New shows do not look encouraging, so still playing catch-up on the old.
Ep 9: Absolutely everyone being protected to death; ep 10: Everyone you love dying in front of you is no reason to stop singing to yourself! Ep 11: Even the characters in the show are sick of this BS, and the twins are just hilarious bitches.

Watch both.
I would honestly say Code Geass though. It is basically the anime mecca, something you should really experience at some point because mere words can't describe it.

I am switching back now. Was rocking the Yuuko for the end of Nichijou and in support of SaiMoe but she lost to crappy Steins;Gate boy.

Utena doesn't really explain shit until episode 22, and it doesn't really explain shit until 34.DrForester said:

Well I certainly hope Penguindrum doesn't take until episode 34 to get to its point.
It is a 2 cour show right?
I should mention that the manga, anime, and live action series are all titled Bishoujo Senshi Sailormoon, but the official translation for the anime and original manga release is Pretty Soldier Sailormoon while the official traslation for the live action is Pretty Guardian Sailormoon. That's why the live action series is referred to as PGSM.EmmanuelMunoz said:
Dark Rabbit 12
Hahahahahaha the fucking show closes on a hot spring episode, are you kidding me? God this show was just so bad on every level, but the writing in particular was pretty awful. From reusing the exact same plot line in 2 episodes straight, to consistently marginalizing and/or ignoring seemingly important plot points after they happen, it was pretty hilarious. Its not incoherent, but its pathetic in its own way. It's like they just gave up after episode 1. Even more comical is that Geneijin mentioned that the anime is apparently a direct copy and paste of the light novels. How the hell does this hold up in a book format?
So bravo Dark Rabbit for being the worst show of this season, and maybe of the worst of the year.

You will get no argument from me there.
Macross is like Gundam. All the OVA / Movies are superior to the actual series.

It really is a great show. A definite must watch. It's kind of stunning how it turned out to be great.

I'm just starting a Steins;Gate run. Watched the first episode when it came out and decided it would be easier to wait on it when I didn't have to wait every week for a new episode. I've only gotten like three episodes in but it's been good so far. The show takes a lot of risks with its characters and it really pays off for them.

One of the best episodes of the series. Prepare for a total tone and character shift in the second half of the series. I loved it but it's certainly not for everybody.

Is there really a comedy that isn't actually hit and miss? It's kind of the nature of the beast for the medium. When a show ranges that much you probably aren't going to find everything funny.
I loved this show. Favorite KyoAni show pretty easily.

That last scene sure was, uh, shameless.
In its setting and increased focus on sex and violence, this series feels akin to what many avant-garde directors do to Shakespeare or Mozart.
There are comedies that, unlike Nichijou, are overwhelmingly hits with very few, if any, misses (Gintama from what I've seen, FMP Fumoffu). But given its sketch structure and experimental nature, it's not surprising that Nichijou turned out the way it did. Certainly a worthwhile show, flaws and all.

The experimental nature is one of the things I love about this show. Rather than tying itself down to a small central cast of characters and the central focal point of a school that most shows of its ilk do, it expands its cast and its setting to paint a fascinating picture of a the ordinary lives of some extraordinary people who live in a town. The endings to the second half of the series are just some really great stuff.
The show objectively speaking is top notch. Really it just comes to whether or not you find it comedic. It's certainly not for everybody. But it's got a bit of anti-humor to it, it doesn't feel the necessity for punchlines, it doesn't follow the standard protocol for a lot of things you find in comedy and certainly in comedy anime series. People will call it dull and boring because of it but I absolutely adore the nature of this series.
I really can't even stand the manga at all. It actually was incredibly dull and boring, KyoAni did a great job adding vibrancy and humor to a source material that was honestly lacking it.

Well, it looks like [as] did cut part of the ending to the final episode of FMA:B.....oh well
Now that the show is done, have some bloopers/outtakes from the dubbed version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O8CrlQRyp-Y&feature=youtu.be

The end of the clip with Hohenheim gets me every damn time. There should be a law mandating every dub have an outtakes section.

That was an okay way to end the show. It emphasized the funny gags and nice heartwarming moments that have made the show great up until now. Or at least it emphasized the funny gags and nice heartwarming moments that would have made the show great if they actually did it on a more consistent basis.
