I've had my eyes on 5 Centimeters per Second for some time so I guess I'll have to check that one out then!
I know I'm a bit vague but what I like is pretty vague to myself. My relationship with anime is very much a love/hate one. There's so much stuff out there that's great in terms of setting and art direction and basic story build up but where I feel everything just falls apart as soon as a character opens its little mouth.
I've had my eyes on Tokyo Godfathers too for quite some time but I feel I need the right mood for that one. But I'll definitely come around to it! Never heard of the other two. I'll make sure to check them out.
Thanks guys!

Ben-to 07: If you were waiting for a fan service episode of this show, today is your lucky day. Oshiroi's yaoi-power is as amazing as ever. Although this episode is not entirely fanservice. We do learn the origin of the Yarizui and Shaga's nicknames, and there is still fighting over Ben-to. And it's still epic, only now in a brand new way! ^^ The way it ends is funny as hell! XD
Help?

And to think just 11 posts ago I thought something beautiful was starting. But I find out you're one of the enemy?! I'm sorry but I must challenge you to Moertal Kombat.

I started to despise those two characters. Fortunately, Mr. Sakamoto is around to always put me in a good mood when their skits come up.
That's all I need to hear. I'm watching me some Lupin tonight.
Yeah, Sakamato made their scenes tolerable.

Nice Hitchcockian tension.
B-but I thought these stories were always going to have a happy ending! Why do you do this to me now?!

The problem of you not knowing what the definition of a moe-tan is, that is not our problem.
Hooray for in-line post editing, I guess?
There is absolutely nothing forcing moe-tan characters to be flat. Madobe Nanami isn't flat at all, for starters.

Wow, the "Reason for Editing" is on the same line as the last line of the post. I should mention that in the thread about the forum update.
Boobs are the definition of moe.
after the last thing you shared with me im inclined to question your definition
Reasonably sized boobs are the definition of moe.
Pretty sure you're going to get put on some kind of government list.

Too bad you have no idea what reasonably sized boobs are.
I'm so glad that GAF came back so we could have this conversation. :|

Reasonably sized means that they have to exist in the very least. Unlike what you guys wanted Moe-tan to have.

No its the enlightened vs heathens respectively.
FLAT IS HERESY!
I still seem to multi-quote the old fashioned way. This new system will take some getting used to.
Fate/Zero 8
Wow
. Another solid episode, the Master v Master showdowns were very well done. Would like to see them get into the background of some these characters soon, Kiritsugu's story could be pretty interesting.
Wow
Kayneth got fucked up, he looked nasty after that 2nd bullet hit

Are you calling yourself a heathen? Isn't that a bit harsh? I know we're all supposed to be self-hating nerds, but you could be a little less hard on yourself!
The fact that you seem to not have seen Steins;Gate is the real tragedy.
I think this is how it works:
1. Click the (+) next to Quote on each post you want to quote.
2. Click on [Post Reply] at the bottom.
3. The Reply field populates with every post you (+)'d! IT'S LIKE WE'RE LIVING IN THE FUTURE!
edit: Nice spoiler fail there, Instro. :3
Such a sad attempt at trying to twist my words.
I started to watch it but got lazy.
I know how it works I just forget to press the + every time I go to quote somebody.

Medium boobs are fine too.
No. It's no boob vs normal B to C cup boob. Medium boob is best boob.
Perfect.

Clicking (+) on some posts then hitting Quote on the last one works too.

Chihayafuru 1 - Children are jerks.
Chihayafuru 2 - That "friend" of hers is a horrible person, why would that guy
after what he pulled... this episode was kind of hard to watch, that guy was being so mean.
This show's good, though, I will continue. I had watched part of ep. 1 before, but hadn't finished it; I finally went back and did so. It has a strong main character, which is great, and the episodes are pretty good, my dislike for that guy aside. As for the game of Karuta itself, though... yeah, it is kind of silly isn't it. I mean, it's just a matching game with a set of 100 old poems... pretty simple stuff. Sorry, Chihaya, I can see why everyone else calls it boring... the only skills involved are speed and memorization. Still, it makes for a decent show anyway.
Maken-Ki! 7 - Truly, this show is a work of art. A show that should be used as an example for future anime-makers... this is what happens when you adapt terrible source material -- you lose interest partway through and just stop trying. And that's what this episode felt like to me.
Oh, sure, it goes through the motions -- new girls are introduced, as well as a maybe-rival guy who they work for; there's a volleyball contest between the new and old characters; there are plenty of pantyshots, some haremizing occurs, etc; one of the new girls seems to like the MC... yeah, it's all there. But somehow it just felt lazy and boring. I mean, this show is, and always has been, terrible. It's the worst new show I've watched this year, is very sexist in some awful ways (this MC is really bad, out of the Shirou school, as I've said...), etc. So it's not like it suddenly got bad. It's just... kind of boring, I guess. It even skips over most of the volleyball game with a series of static shots, only bothering to animate the beginning and end of it. Great, showing off your low budget?
I don't know, I'm probably overstating the difference in comparison to past episodes, but that's what I felt, it felt lazy. I also was feeling the usual hatred for how awful this show is, of course.
And it doesn't get better from there...
... And the disturbing themes don't end there. Later on
Chihayafuru 2 - That "friend" of hers is a horrible person, why would that guy
actually forgive him at the end

The queen didn't give him much of a choice, really...
And it doesn't get better from there...
She came there, seduced a 12 or 13 year old boy, left, and then came back a while later to drop the child off there for him to take care of. Yeah.
... And the disturbing themes don't end there. Later on
and adult male prince who's in love with Lotte is introduced. So yeah, if the show was only pseudo-lolicon up until that point, at that point it goes full in pretty much... which is where I stopped watching, about. That crossed the line for me.

Why do so many of you hate boobs?
Huge boobs make everything better.
Perfectly wrong.
In anime there's no such thing as a great ass. Flat is only justifiable if the character is still growing.
This thread is nothing but lies!

Most saddening. :/
So long as they're not monster boobs, I'm all for nice C-D cups.

It's a real shame they ended up making this a split-season show, since that break's going to be torture at this rate, but if it really makes the second half better than I'm all for it.
Bad idea for Maiya to approach the supposedly-downed Kotomine without making sure he was down, but that's how the plot has to go sometimes. Also, I didn't really get the explanation that woman was giving in flashback for Kiritsugu's mage-wrecking superbullets, but I presume we'll get more details later on.

Bakuman 2 episode 8
Why cant Detective Trap be real? I think it would be my most favorite series. The character design is so cool. Regardless, fun episode and Yuujiro was surprising. With everything swiftly back to weekly business I hope we get some good old in depth discussion of Ashirogi Muto contemplating their plot, as well as finally reaching the mark to take on Eiji's Crow and Fukuda's Kiyoshi Knight. The ending scene is most likely one of the most memorable in this season. Gif of it.
