Oh, I forgot the art for the show.

Let's all enjoy it together guys.

Group watch.

WE.GETTING. IN. THERE.

...Fuck it, I'm in. It's been a while since I've watched something stupid.
Technically Akame Ga Kill on Toonami counts, but I find myself more confused about what's happening given I've missed chunks of it.

Thats like half my top 10. Well maybe not quite half. Owarimonogatari and Euriphonium at least.

Female protagonist, so it doesn't fit the criteria. Then I'd be throwing away stuff like Azumanga Daioh and Haibane Renmei.

I didn't enjoy Bakemonogatari at all, but apparently I'm alone on that.

Well i refuse to watch it so I'll stand by you on that one

Shit I have a horrible transcription test in 2 hours and just can't study anymore. Been up for thirty hours straight.

My rule of thumb at this point is that if a show has a male protagonist, yet the female cast outnumbers the male cast at least three to one, it's going to be garbage. It's true just about always.

Golden Boy is the only strong counterexample I can think of (I like Ben-To, but that's a real guilty pleasure).

Evangelion if you count Misato!

I'm pretty sure the number of men outnumber the number of women in that series. Shinji, Kensuke, Touji, Gendo, Kaji, Kaworu, Fuyutsuki, Keel. Plus minor characters, of course.

For women you have Rei, Asuka, Misato, and Ritsuko. If you want you can have Yui, Ryouko, Hikari and Maya, who are important, but minor cast. That's 8 to 8 and I didn't throw in the male bridge bunnies or other SEELE members.

Schrodinger's boobs, it's there and not there at the same time

Only when you look is it determined

90% of the time it is determined that it exists.
The ground is anthropomorphic and the character has somehow grabbed onto its boobs.

Christmas episode. Ikemen version is back, crazier than ever.
Watching santa claus theme porn during Christmas seem to be a great/sad way to spend time. The punchline with 14matsu waiting for santa is hilarious

Watched the first three episodes of One Punch Man yesterday, and to be honest, it didn't really click with me. Considering all the praise I see it get online, I figure I'll ask, is it worth giving it a few more episodes, or is it probably just not my thing? It wasn't bad, and I think I can see why people enjoy it, but the jokes and Saitama's shtick were already feeling a bit stale and predictable to me in episode 3, and even in episodes 1 and 2, the parts that made me laugh or think "this is pretty cool" were uncommon.

Nothing really wrong with that, OPM is a subpar to mediocre comedy with some great action cuts.

It doesn't really change in any meaningful way, outside of vastly enlarging the cast, so I don't think subsequent episodes will change your mind. (For me, ep 3 was the strongest so far.)

Unfortunately it stays like that. After Sonic and Genos theres just really minor characters who get tossed aside to make saitama the winner.

Pretty good actually, and not just because of Kirara for once. It's okay to change your dreams and passions. Most people do that several points in their lives. It was really just nice to get some Minami/Kirara stuff again. Those have been pretty good overall.

Thanks all. That's a little disappointing, I usually have a lot of fun with shounen stuff, and this sounded like a fun twist, but it just felt like the execution was kind of off. Oh well, I gave it a fair shot, guess I'll go watch something good instead, like Yuru Yuri.
