Episode 12 just the beginning. You have no fucking idea what you got coming. I wish I would watch it again for the first time.

Maji de Watashi ni Koi Shinasai! 02-03: The funny thing is, I think I prefer this show with the censors. It's a lot funnier that way. Also, the show is totally racist.
I like the shy girl though. She's at least kind of cute.
I'm calling it a night for anime. Work tomorrow. :/
So I'll leave with this blog post: Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai seiyuu draw their characters.

Oh, Kill Me Baby is getting animated . . . I wonder why. Oh well, definitely gonna watch that and Gokujyo. Oh, and the skirt pirate one.Dresden said:From the two or so chapters I read of Gokujyo, it's almost absurdly trashy and thus, logically, will be awesome.
Just finished Steins;Gate and it was fantastic.
First few episodes are kind of... okay. Then you get into it, and it's harmless fun. Then the second half kicks off and it's basically all-depressing, all the time. Then there is an ending and it is pretty much perfect.
Very excellent, lived up to the hype.

Great episode. Action scene at the end was epic. Should've been longer.

Ben-To 5 - Nice recovery from the poor ep. 4 indeed! This was a good episode, funny, entertaining, and it advanced the plot too. Some stuff was stupid -- the part with him and the woman who works at that store, after he woke up, was just dumb -- but most of the rest of the episode was good. Crossdressing stuff is often pretty funny, and it is indeed here. He's almost moe, I think, in Oshiroi's other uniform... If his boxer shorts didn't overlap the skirt on both ends it might work better and look a bit less ridiculous, but oh well, it was good stuff as is.
I don't know why those guys were chasing him for wanting to see her, though. Overly protective of the students at that school or something? Oh well, it was funny.
I do wonder, though... how will they fight back against and beat this guy, when the two fighter girls in the harem were unwilling, and presumably unable, to do anything to stop the MC from getting beaten badly by the new villain? The MC obviously will have a hard time beating him too, given how this episode went... We'll have to see I guess.
So yeah, solid episode, and a good setup for a larger threat.
Also, I like the shy girl too. Her doll that she (I'm pretty sure) speaks through with ventriliquism, that's like her opposite/cheerleader, is pretty funny too...
As for racism, how so?
... One of them's loli (harem incest, most likely), huh? That's sure covering all of their bases at once...
Anyway, while I don't know if there'll be anything incredible, a good number might be decent. I'm definitely looking forward to Milky Holmes S2. The first season was, of course, great fun, hopefully the second will be as funny. Hopefully Black Rock Shooter will be decent as well, and also Last Exile Fam will be continuing into next season too, so there'll also be that. Also... Miniskirt Pirates... sure, why not, I'll try it (though the idea that pirate captain jobs were inherited is completely, totally stupid... they were elected positions! Unless you mean other kinds of pirates, not the standard movie (17th century Carribean style, etc) pirates, which it clearly doesn't based on that that picture. But anyway, could be amusing? We'll see.
Apart from that, I'll likely try Kill me baby (I've read some of the manga, it's kind of odd how the three characters are the only people you see on panel 99.9% of the time, but it is amusing), and maybe or maybe not several others, like Rinne no Lagrange, Senhime Zesshou Symphogear, Nisemonogatari, Gokujyo, etc.
Also, of course, the IS and R-15 specials.
... Looking at that list, I see lots of stupid stuff and action, but anything serious? There's one that looks to maybe be horror (Another), but apart from that? Nisemonogatari?

Aka Majikoi. The anime is called Majikoi Oh! Samurai Girls, or at least, that's the English title I guess... just Majikoi usually. But yeah, that is the full title that the "Majikoi" part refers to.RurouniZel said:No! I asked first, and I'm going to be the one who examines this show first!! *points above*

Episode two will start introducing people, but yes, it doesn't start at the beginning, but somewhere during the story.RurouniZel said:
Yeah, I think the censors are mostly fine in Majikoi. They're not distracting screen-covering glare stuff, like the more broken censored shows like R-15 or, even worse, Manyuu Hikenchou.RurouniZel said:

I think that's kind of the point. Mood dissonance I think is the driving factor behind the narrative, using the uncanny to their advantage. It's not the unknown, but rather the known, made to look off, that makes the concept interesting. Which reminds me I really must get to watching this...Regulus Tera said:

Glad that it hasn't dipped into full-blown harem shenanigans yet, although it came dangerously close.
Fasting is like using a hyperbolic time chamber in this show.
Satou confirmed for best hero this season.

The argument between the importance of the script versus direction felt like an argument between Jexhius and Firehawk.

I love how there hasn't been a straight up harem antics episode yet since 1. Still, more relevant stuff could have happened, but not a terrible episode. Tits girl #2 seems alright.

An episode about the impending destruction of an adult education center and the value of life-long learning. The variety of settings, stories, and themes in this series is quite impressive.
I'm surprised I haven't seen Master Keaton get recommended as a good anime for non-anime fans, given its mainstream appeal and avoidance of stereotypical anime traits or even any Japanese cultural traits.

Why is crossdressing stuff almost universally funny? I don't think so, it usually comes off as too contrived and by the numbers for it to be funny, and in my defense it usually is too contrived and by the numbers to be funny.A Black Falcon said:Ben-To 5 - Nice recovery from the poor ep. 4 indeed!

He's a pedo I imagine who doesn't want any other guy talking to his girl. Or just a shit set up to have him chased so they could do the contrived cross dressing scheme.A Black Falcon said:
You really don't have any Wolf's blood coursing through your veins do you? All the girls had already grabbed their meals, everyone else had not, therefore according to the rules they were no longer combatants and could not interfere. This is like basic shit man, what separates Wolves from the common Pomeranian.A Black Falcon said:

Because it is! I don't know, it definitely works most of the time.mAcOdIn said:
And bah, even if this situation was contrived, it wasn't by-the-numbers, I can't think of many other crossdressing scenarios quite like Ben-To's. :lol
I'd probably guess that it's the latter, but it doesn't hurt the scene too much really. Sure it's for a completely stupid reason, but it's a completely stupid show, so it fits.
But was the degree of beating he gave the MC really within the rules either? He clearly was trying to go over the top and go too far in order to provoke them and the other side, and succeeded, but I'd think that those facts would overrule things like what you just say.
Indeed.

There's that one really dark-skinned girl who kept coming up during the butt of the jokes during the dog-chase scene. Especially the first one, where the music does that kind of slowdown there, as if to cue the audience to laugh because unlike the previous two girls walked in on, she's dark-skinned. I could be reading too much into that, admittedly.

Carnival Phantasm 5- Right off the bat the start was good with Nero's pets but the main story about Berserker's first mission was better.
Carnival Phantasm 6- Great choice of characters for the table sharing segment.

Over the past week or so, I watched (almost) the entirety of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. It's been ages since I watched the first season, so it was nice to see that again (especially the core six episodes), and for better or worse I'd never seen the second season, so it was my first time experiencing that. Unfortunately, it turns out that devoting eight episodes to trolling your viewers simply isn't entertaining (though the end of the final one does make for a nice payoff), and the subsequent five-episode plot of Sighs was only worth it for a few key scenes. All in all, the whole 28 episodes balance out to a decent series, better in some parts than others.
Of course, if you'll believe some theories, there's a particular reason for the repetitive nature and downturn in variety (and quality, subjectively) of the second season: they needed to fill up 14 episodes to reach a certain point in the series timeline, and all their creative effort was being redirected somewhere else.
So in some silly form of logic, I went through those 28 episodes as a prelude to that "somewhere else", which is what I just finished watching.
The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya
I liked this movie.
I really, really liked this movie. Like, pretty much everything about it.
Soundtrack was great, backgrounds were amazing, and Tomokazu Sugita gave what was probably the performance of his career.
Obviously it's not going to be for everyone, especially people already burnt out on the Haruhi series, but I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Sorry if that all sounds too gushy. Back to the regularly scheduled cynicism, I suppose.
