Japan man, I don't get it.

No more real than Hokako Tea Time, and they've released chart topping CDs IIRC.
EDIT: Damn it doomed1!

K-ON! is the anime that saved our generation.
Dear Future is already out. All the other EDs are in the Triple-H album.

I wish I could say I was that young. Sadly the anime that defined my generation was Robotech.
*feels the glares of a thousand Macross fans, murderous in intent*
Oh sh-!
Everyone knows that Hentai saved our generation, they are just too ashamed to admit it.
I still need to watch K-On so I know which side I fall in with: our new moeblob overlords or the rebel alliance.
And people ask me why I hate this generation.
Aweeeesoooomeeee.

This isn't new to anime.
Uh, I know. K-On! is hardly the first either.
It's not a 'Japan only' thing.

Yup. Earliest instance that I can think of off the top of my head was The Archies. They're basically the model by which all modern "fake bands" are created.
Heroes Phantasia
The PSP game Heroes Phantasia. It'll probably suck.

Fist of the North Star 7
Does Kenshiro have some kind of portal to another dimension in his pocket where he stores like a million of one type of shirt? I can't imagine it's easy to find more in a post-apocalyptic world after he keeps ripping them.

Wasn't she a singer before she started this stupid show?
Mobile Suit Gundam Dub 8
I really like how even the forgettable foot soldiers have voices and some kind interaction with other characters before possibly being killed or whatever. The attention to little details like this is incredibly refreshing considering in 00 there were just a bunch of mobile suits who get blown up and never mentioned again. It makes the story a bit more believable. Hot dick has been passed back to Char, I thought he'd be one of those "honor" rivals not some truly evil asshole who looks like will try to get this guy who considers him a good friend killed.
That game linked above looks kind of cool, I'm surprised they put that American dude from R.O.D.
Un-Go Ep9
Thisisgonnagetgood.gif
It's hilarious how the show has gotten to this point considering how it started out. It's truly one of the more offbeat and bizarre anime I've seen presented in such a straight forward way. It doesn't seem like the show is trying to be smart or different, but for better or for worse, it is. Wow. Just wow. I don't even know what's going on at the end there, but I'm definitely on board for the rest of the ride.
Penguin Drum Ep22
Every single scene in the episode was really well framed and executed on their own. The scenes had emotion and power behind them. But yet the entire episode on a whole fell flat for me. I can't really tell exactly why, but it probably has to do with the fact that everything that was actually happening was so surreal and in some ways random, that while the execution of the scenes were great, the actual scenes themselves... I disliked. I have a feeling after this episode, the ending of the show is going to be kinda a "whatever".

Un-Go 09: I wanna drop this show like right now, but it's so close to the ending that I don't see the point.
Boring episode was boring. At least the next one seems to be full of drama.

Well confirmation of the second season of Horizon was nice. Im curious on what the season one cliffhanger will be.

Guilty Crown 09: Hare-chan has lots of guts. Hare-chan. <3
Fuck yeah finally shit hits the fan. This is the first episode that I feel has truly hit Code Geass levels of hype. If only the characters weren't completely unlikable...

You seem to be implying that there are non-awful episodes. Is that what you're implying?
No. I'm implying that this awful episode goes into the "fucking" end of the spectrum as opposed to the "pretty" or "goddamn" parts of the spectrum.
Saving people the trouble of watching the actual episode:
The only good thing about this show.

Well she's not in the kitchen, but she is knitting, so close enough. Not sure about the multiple computers thing though. She could be talking to men on those.

and in the next episode she will make a bento for her loverboy? what a cliche overload...

Well, it's certainly a good show because the direction is strong, although I wouldn't go as far as to call it 'flawless'. Over the course of the last few episodes I have found myself less invested in the plight of the these characters as we've moved from the 'flashback arc' to the 'building a team' arc. I just feel like I've spent a lot of time with the original trio (for obvious reasons) and I don't really care happens to the three vestigial characters.

I see. This spectrum appears to be wider than I had originally envisaged.

They're still probably the most human characters in anime this season, outside of Tamayura anyway.

That remeber me how I would love an anime about a trading card or arcade game with a real world setting with tournaments and stuff without crazy phantasy background story.
maybe like Chihayafuru but with a good and interesting game. The Haruhi episode "The Day of Sagittarius" was pretty good!
