You're right, it is pretty bad. They were better off with anime music videos made by cool directors: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Ezs8kW0CQgDresden said:
Perfect Day feels like it should have something more than just the PV :/ I'd watch it. Probably.
As for the GC opening ... eh, I like the full version quite a bit. Different strokes etc. Haven't seen the PV yet so who knows if that's just shitty though. Which it probably is as that's practically a rule of thumb.
FWIW, those parts of the show are more or less over by the point you've reached. The end of episode 20 kicks the last storyline into gear, and... It's all pretty great (it even kind of almost redeems the first episode.)
But, yeah, during that string of episodes I had to look up the genre of the game to see if the whole thing was really going to be a stealth dating-sim.
right now that would be a mascot for every forum on the internet though

Of course, the same guy has directed stuff like Mouryou no Hako which has a couple of scenes reminiscent of that video, but only in the first episode: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=bwRbzzRQdJ4#t=78sscy said:

If only we had that sweet Oshii Lupin Movie. Then everyone would realise that Lupin isn't all about action and beautiful ladies.
That's one of those excellent episodes that, like Case 'Long Hot Today' I might show to someone to get them interested in Master Keaton. Of course, not all the stories are that high-tension, but I find that it gets people interested in the show.

One of my favorite things about Working'!! is witnessing Takanashi's neurotic breakdowns, and this episode had plenty of opportunities for that.

[Queen Emeraldas OVA 2]
Man, there's a lot of pink lazers in this show. Note that I didn't say "beam spam", because apparently all the gunners on these ships have actually learned how to target correctly.
Also, amazingly, it's explained why Emeraldas looks so similar to that Matsumoto female. Well that's one down, all they have to do next is explain why every other attractive women looks exactly like that as well!
You know, it's a good thing this thread doesn't cone across as creepy and weird to anyone in GAF.

Wrong Yamada. The bro is actually funny. The sis' one note played out a long time ago, and otoo-san isn't even around to sustain it.
Just admit it, jex. I don't judge. You like them with milk jugs, don't you?

By cow tits do you mean udders? I don't think I've ever seen an animu girl with actual udders.

Yes, it's very good and I'm not surprised you haven't heard about it, practically no-one has. Broadly speaking I might describe it as a
mystery
Sounds like something one would find in High School of the Dear.

I can't really say that I'm a fan of the current trend towards really terrible female designs in anime that are supposed to titillate teenage males. They're not really my cup of tea.
Well sadly that Video Girl Ai OVA could not replicate the quality of the original art work.

I've always imagined that AnimeGAF would be represented by a Kugiloli with a monocle and top hat, but still (very) aggressively tsundere, since that's what AnimeGAF seems to be about everything.
By 'always imagined' are you meaning to suggest that this is the kind of subject matter you often think about?

Brunette, Beardy, and Monk showing up and the Dolphin-man. Also all the great fan service everywhere just made me happier, Omlettits, everything. I am pleased.

Ugh, so, why are her eyes open like the whole episode now?
I thought this was a middling episode, kinda weak actually, his nom de guerre was pretty unimaginative and as nonsensical as this show is the episode felt like total nonsense, fanservice for the sake of it through and through essentially.

Yeah, I wasn't really feeling this episode, despite some of the sillier moments. It was a T&A episode through and through.mAcOdIn said:

It's like you never read the summary before the show even started, or the first episode. Lines were crossed at the start, unless you have weird curvy lines.

Shu is really getting to me and if it wasn't for the 2nd half, this ep. would have been a total loss. Anyway Gai being a boss

Great episode, but Shaga seems to prioritize playing around with Sato than being a wolf.lol Good thing

taking down an endlave by himself was cool.

Shiraume didn't overstay her welcome by having only exactly 30 sec. of screen time. =D

No, that's the whole point -- the summary was quite deceptive, and there was very little MC-Lotte romance in the show at all. She's the same age as his daughter, and he thinks of her more like that, the one he likes is her mother the queen... basically the summary was written to lure in that audience but for a while the show wasn't really like that. When that seemed to be changing, somewhat, I stopped watching.
As for the first episode, I do remember disliking that one, yes. It got better in ep. 2.

Every reason is the right reason to watch Ben-to.
not watching it should be a crime enforced under a moegistrate's court.

When you stopped watching was just as harmless as when you were watching, the only time you should have stopped was when the OVA came when something actually happened.

Man, I had forgotten that darkside31337 thinks Oreimo is better than K-On!.
Looks like it was all 7th's fault, he started it, see http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=133283&highlight=

but everything is funnier than K-on!, so what's the problem?

That's probably got more to do with your memory or the stuff you're watching. I mean, I just watched Re: Cutie Honey today. Nothing flat there...

Well, Ben-to hasn't exactly been afraid of a little T&A, this episode just made the final battle for bentto at the end funnier and more awesome by shaking up the formula while throwing in some fanservice.
I will admit though, it's funny how some shows fanservice bothers me, while other shows like Ben-To I just take it in stride. Like this episode, for example. There's a scene where the main character Sato, whom the show has established as a connoisseur of the female physique, is looking at Yarizui in her swimsuit. So it's not exactly out of character for him, but then again most anime MCs like to look so it's nothing new. Now, normally the complete fanservice of her stretch in said swimsuit would put me off in many other shows, but here it doesn't because it's in her character to stretch before physical activity. This is also helped by her choice of swimsuit, which looks more akin to someone who takes sports and physical activities seriously rather than an out-of-character pandering style bikini.
That's not to say it isn't gratuitous. It is. But it bothered me a bit less due to how it was handled overall, the above being an example.
