He has enough energy to have made 4 videos on the subject, that is an impressive amount of hatred.
Emperor Palpatine would be proud.
i know, it should be "fewer"

Berserk beats Claymore in the cute girls department anyway.

Sometime in the future.
Falling into an abyss of confirmation and selection bias to heavily scrutinize LN junk is obtuse in its own right. Dismissing the artstyle of Shinsekai yori before spending ten minutes whining about how familiar and unimaginative the designs in Asterisk are nets about as big of an ":^)" as you can get.
Instead of getting so worked up over poster art or whatever it would be more useful to identify the challenge presented by LN work. It's hard for the staff to get excited about the project. There's limited material when it comes to visually establishing a world and creating a scene. The target audience is people who might as well have their brains rotted out. Now look at how Light Novels work. A complex and vast world is often created to support the franchise's future, with obscured factions working towards unstated goals to establish long running continuity and open the door for as many different scenarios as possible. These are built to very slowly unwind in a way that makes people buy as many books as possible. Ultimately The Asterisk War winds up heading in a direction that faces towards robotics and the role automation can play in marginalizing humans, but the show moves so slowly that it never really presents this. So you're sort of just stuck banging around the basic building blocks for a long while, and of course that stuff is going to look super uninteresting.
People have a tendency to pick popular or easy targets as a means of tearing down LN content but their understanding of the material is so skewed that it all just becomes meaningless vitriol that seems like some weird attempt at chest puffing. And for as mad as this weenie gets at LNs and A-1 it sure seems fortunate that Studio Deen's Log Horizon is his second favorite show from last year.
No, but my best bet is within the next year.
No point in bringing out the prologue (episode 23 β
if they were gonna sit on it, right?He isn't exactly tearing down LN content in general, because like you said, he likes Log Horizon, and he also likes Bakemonogatari, as he is tearing down this specific one he happened to watch, which is terrible in similar ways to other terrible LN content, which there happens to be enough in abundance that one might get sick of them after awhile. I mean they sort of blend together eventually. As for how you would do the analysis, it would be awesome, but I am guessing that what he is going for is more of a straightforward review of the show and what he thought of it as a viewer of the show, which is a fair viewpoint to take in my opinion. That said, he does put From The New World in the dismiss pile, which is a whole lot of WTH, and I don't know what his problem is with that studio in particular when I don't think they are the only ones guilty of putting out something generic..

Of all the anime I have watched, Future Diary is one of them.
Remember how Mur Mur was the main villain?
Remember how stupid that was?

His phone was kept charged with love for Yuno?
Remember how this character was a load of fun?
Also why would god give a murderous psychopath the chance to replace him?

probably the only anime i would otherwise have dropped that i watched the completion cos it was part of a groupwatch
terrible experience, i don't recommend watching shows you know you'd otherwise drop. you don't get anything out of it unless you aim to create something and want to know what to avoid, and even then you spend too long doing analysis when some other poor sod out there on the internet will do it for you

Brain? What's that?

I used to be the same, but history has shown that I've missed key story parts from shows because of that bad habit. I now at least check how far in the video the credits are rolling, and if there is still around a minute left then I just fast forward a little bit to that part.

Is there some proper term for this ora ora ora barrage of punches or similar action cuts that feature high speed movement shown with loads of repeated frames ?
The Suffering of Hazuki Katou: Redux
- Got saddled with Tuba
- The guy she likes rejects her cause he's into her friend
- Doesn't make the cut for the band competition.
- Gets on OVA where she has to relieve all of the above.
This is just cruel ...
Also finally, some Yuri in my Euphonium. All the more proof that Natsuki is the best character.
I haven't seen Code Geass and i don't plan to. I'd rather give up on anime than subjecting myself to this for entertainments sake.

You are missing out.
Says you, if i were a charcter in that show i would either kill myself instantly or put every ounce of my strength into killing Lelouch.
That describes 70％ of the cast pretty well!
Asuka won that battle episode1.

I don't even know what will air next season outside of Dagashi Kashi, Koyomin and that Deutschland 83 x Muv Luv crossover.

Subete no aware
Wow, rip.
I keep hoping that Jex is just exaggerating and being a bitter old man. But I can't even watch it yet because this is the first Hosoda movie ever which hasn't opened here so long after the JP release. No idea wtf is going on. Distribution fuckery probably.

I'll pick up the BD when I get the time. There's so much that I need to watch that I have right in front of me but I'm just not feeling any of it at the moment. I should just throw everything into a random generator
