Chihayafuru
Working'!!
Fate/Zero
These are the ones to check out, in my opinion.
I'm nearly caught up with Chihayafuru and I have to say, I'd be twice as interested in this show if the game wasn't so deathly dull. There's really no reason at all to believe that people can get excited for this game. At least with Go or Shougi you can somehow suck it up and take it but Karuta is taking a lot of willpower to suspend disbelief.

Now the plot is in motion. I look forward to Sato uniting Western Wolves for glory, pride, and respect.
Still hitting all the right notes. I much prefer the sort of humor drawn from Sato's post-battle experiences to the stuff in 4 that I didn't like as much. Wishful thinking and misunderstandings.
I hope there'll be more fighting next week.
I'm no expert on crossdressing scenarios in anime, but that's not a common situation in my experience.
This is also the most inept crossdressing attempt I've seen in a show, both in terms of how it looks and how it is acknowledged. Which was pretty amusing in its own right.

I'd pull out that one gif, but I think Branduil has copyright on it.

Mirai Nikki 3-5:
Finally caught up on this.
Yuno is seriously hot when she's killing. Seriously. This is probably the finest example of murder moe ever created.
This show is really awesome. It gives me so many awesome vibes of what Higurashi was like, though it goes more for an action aspect as opposed to Higurashi which had more of a horror/suspense aspect. The bloodletting is quite glorious, and they have been able to the keep the censorship to a minimum by clever use of camera angles and cutaways which allows us to revel in our bloodthirst without running afoul that stupid law in Japan that was passed recently. Well, okay, I'm speaking for myself here, I don't know if you guys revel in your bloodthirst. But you should try it sometime, it's quite enjoyable. :3
The OP and ED piss me off a little because they really blatantly spoil the whole show. I already know most of the story because I watched the show on Wikipedia before really watching it but the blatant spoiling in the OP and ED is really just beyond the pale. Yuno would know what to do with the people who animated the OP and ED. Yes, she absolutely would. <3

Warning: Xenoglossia spoilers -
Well, um, it's pretty obvious that Ui would be psychotic like Chihaya was. She's so hilariously yandere for her sister that it's kind of silly. Jun would be kind of tsundere towards everybody, first she starts out good but then joins the bad side but she's tsundere to everybody all the time. The core four of Yui, Mio, Mugi, and Ritsu would be good. Sawako will be the big sister just like she is in K-ON and will take Azusa's role. Azunyan would be the one who starts out appearing to be good but turns and joins Ui and Jun and betrays the others, therefore taking Yukiho's role. At the end they would all fight a million clones of Ritsu's brother and then Jun turns good again, thus taking Makoto's role. Ui and Sawako die at the end, then Yui, Mio, Mugi, Ritsu, and Jun fly their mechas into the moe event horizon thing in the asteroid belt to save the world. Yui leaves her apartment at the end and looks up at the sky and says 'Ikimasu.' The end.

I'm a Mirai Nikki first-timer and I cannot deduce anything from the OP. The ED is a lot less subtle withUnknown Soldier said:

Yep, it's real. I think.

Mirai Nikki. Though I think you may have read the manga. Either way, it's a fantastic adaptation.
Regulus Tera said:
Once it happens, you'll have say "Ohhhhhh, so that's what that meant". I personally think it's a nice touch because people not familiar with the story probably won't realize it and at most make baseless speculation. The beauty is all the pieces of the puzzle are already there, but they're laid out in such an abstract way that most won't get it.

sometimes I hate the anime industry from the bottom of my heart. I watched in the last 1 1/2 years, before the sommer season, maybe just one or two animemovies.
Without Anne I would still watch Two and a half men instead of Squid Girl...

Unknown Soldier said:
Yeah, lots of shounen series have super spoilery OPs. I probably wouldn't cite One Piece as the best example, but OP 5 in particular spoils some VERY important scenes. Certain other series even blatantly spoil character deaths.
Edit: Ah yeah, OP 3. That one was a pretty major one. I was like "what the fuck, what the hell is that person doing there!?"

Reknoc said:Ah I wasn't aware of other ones, certainly not ones that spoil deaths (outside of One Piece's insistence to do so). My Shounen knowledge is woefully lacking
A few examples:
Katekyo Hitman Reborn Op 2:
Chrome turning into Mukurou, a character introduced as someone completely unrelated
STRONGLY implies a certain character's death.
STRONGLY implies Jiraiya's death.
Juvia Joining the group. This OP plays before Gray even fights her.
And this is just off the top of my head.

I've always thought of FT as more an "evolution" (for better or worse) of Rave's art. It's definitely possible he took inspiration from OP for that as well, but it wasn't anywhere near as popular back then and I think it's just a coincidence their styles ended up being similar.
Of course that doesn't mean he isn't taking inspiration from it now. There's no way he isn't a fan (very few shounen manga artists aren't these days).
