K-on didn't have penguins, stalkers, terrorism, or references to Silence of the Lambs and Clint Eastwood. Or good music.
It's hard to beat a guy with fairies, though.

After you've seen what we've seen, the only meaningful distinction is between entertaining and boring/off-putting.

The funny thing is we still don't know. We're just enjoying the ride.
No.
In my defense, it is 70+ episodes long and I've been busy with real life and Zelda in the past week.
Doesn't count

Every time I think I understand you, you do something to completely throw me off. Bravo.
Ben-To 3:
In my training to become a wolf, I have to learn of the glory of the solo hunt. Despite what real wolves do in nature, in the world of half-priced supermarket lunch boxes, hunting in packs gives you no satisfaction, no joy in the hunt. Only by fighting alone against odds beyond the human mind's ability to fathom can a wolf truly earn his meal! And that meal will be glorious!
I don't even know why I'm enjoying this as much as I am. The premise is so thin that you need an electron microscope to see it, the characters seemingly exist only to drive the narrative to a point where people can have Super Smash Bros. Brawl in the supermarket over half-priced lunch boxes, and every single camera angle which contains a female character contains
Nothing says family fun time like shottas!

Hmmm, so that's what JJBA would be like if it was a shoujo.
When are we gonna get more backstories!?

Ok but what about Goron w/ afro vs Black guy w/o afro. I'd say that'd be a pretty even match

Hmm, this is certainly a good time to go back and check out how great the original adaptation was.
Probably never.
This is only the case because you never come on IRC.
You're right! Adding to the list. I'll probably get to Gintama and Sailor Moon around the same time next week.
You're a brave man, taking on 400+ episodes at once. :O
I hope you have somewhere comfy to sit. You'll be there for a while.
Matrix ass maybe?
hire this man

This was my complaint last week as well and I also find it tiresome, considering how everyone can pull incredible healing out of a hat I'd assume these guys would finish people off rather quicker and more...beneficently.
The TV Show has been out for ages and it's still pretty damn good.

Nah, he's cool. He likes Persona 4: The Animation.

I need to go to take a shower and go to bed now. My journey from a barking dog to a mighty wolf will have to wait until tomorrow.
Get the poopsocks ready

You should really watch something you haven't seen before, especially if it's as excellent as Gintama. Still Gintama is really, really long.I can't decide between Gintama and re-watching Code Geass. Help
Awesomely long.
I went through all of LoGH in 2 weeks or so. I'm pretty good with knocking stuff out fast when I get into the mindset. The only issue with marathoning is that some shows don't really marathon well. Hard to describe, but some shows are better in bulk than others.

That's 133 hours. Not even a full week. He could totally do it.
I would've hopped straight into my backlog but when I heard that Persona 4 had actually started, I had to drop everything. Went out and bought a PS2 just for it. I was going to try and knock it out fast but it was so good and I had to breathe it in because I knew how sad I'd be at the end.
That being said, the show isn't all that bad. After the Xenosaga anime? Yeah, I'm satisfied and eternally grateful.

*alarm bells ring*
Wait, another person has seen Mouryou no Hako? The numbers of people who've liked it may now be in double figures!
I like how
the opening scene of the first episode takes place chronologically after the events of the first episode and the characters who we see in that opening are actually not the ones present at that event.
The J-Star thing? I'm supposed to be hitting that later today...
Oh feck, If I'd known about this, I'd have booked an earlier train. Kings Cross to Barbican in 15 minutes is probably a bit too much of a push...

Epic derp lips. Someone needs to get better at applying lipstick.
Kind of have a conflicted view on all this highschool romance drama. On one hand, it's interesting to some extent. On the other, I fuckin hate these people.
At least Claire is still doing cool stuff.

I was hoping to get into the medal podium, but it's looking really difficult right now.
Not being higher on the wall of shame is a good thing you know. It's called the wall of shame for a reason.

Wait, you actually drop stuff? I assume you just stopped writing about it.

Your actions say more about your character than your words.
And Tentacles.
I now have a reason to continue watching!
Turtle Guardian Sailor Moon Ep. 13
Why weren't the police involved? All the sailor Senshi?! This is a matter of national security, find that turtle!!!!

It sounds like your baseline for quality programming has been set dangerously low. I don't know if that's healthy!
