^^^Utena should be required watching for every animu fan.
My impressions may not always be insightful or fun, but I'm pretty sure I didn't do that when I was watching it.
Stop putting words in my mouth. I only have eyes for Nanami.
After my finals I'm gonna catch up on Penguins then I will watch Utena on my break. I'm a believer of Ikuhara now.

Hurrdurr is quite different from Utena. For one thing, the only animation which is ever re-used in Hurrdurr is the "Rock Over Japan" sequence. Which isn't even re-used that often.

What I'm saying is that there's so much going in each Utena episode that the reused animation becomes very second nature. Plus the focus isn't really on the fights all of the time.

Let Ikuhara fill you up, Infinite Justice.So i'm not a fan then

Huh, how about no.
Lucky Star ended with them graduating high school, and FMP isn't popular enough. K-ON is getting continuation and is extremely popular. I would be amazed if it's at least not explored.

What blew your mind? How much an anime director's skills can deteriorate over a really long layoff?

Would I be called crazy if I said Penguindrum shows Ikuhara as a more mature and self-restrained storyteller than Utena? They are two very different shows, but it seems to me that the former shines through very different facets of his directiong (read tone-handling).
Wait, wha? FMP is not popular? Are you serious?
And if your excuse for Lucky Star is that they graduated, then spoiler alert they graduated in K-On too.

Geocentrism and heliocentrism? Those are fuckawesome abilities. Like a focused form of teleportation. Could do some really crazy tactical battles with that shit. Too bad it was over so quickly even if it did look cool.
And Tori finally does something. I kind of spoiled myself on the thing, but that doesn't change the fact
with the power of The Impossible massively sucks. Dude has balls to intentionally take on an ability like that.
These last few episodes have been fantastic. The usage of characters on both sides have been quite good. Seeing a well executed rescue/war arc is not something I expected when this show started. This definitely has the potential to have the strongest finish among the fall season shows.
Also, I don't know what this is, but I want to read it:

Hey, there's a difference between someone implying piracy vs. posting a picture clearly showing all your pirated stuff. I haven't seen anyone go quite that far yet!

But Shinji is so moe!
I guess that proves that Evangelion is niche nerd crap while K-On is for the masses.

I like her.
This certainly proves that the majority of them are boring characters who often display little characterisation (regardless of the internal opinions) and are therefore hard to like or even remember. I guess Rei would be a counter-point, considering her huge and lasting popularity, but I suppose otaku just like women who don't have any kind of will of their own.
Autocracy >>>> Democracy confirmed.
I can't help agree. Democracy just takes too long to do anything fun.

I hate how almost all the shows I watch are released around the same time, it ends up that I don't talk about all of them. I did watch the new Mirai Nikki though and I like what they did. I've only read the main manga and not the side stories so the bits with 9 were fresh for me and it was fun seeing her with the cop.
It provided some validation for their relationship. When that scene where he proposed came up in the comic was confused as hell.
Ironically, saimoe is a democratic experiment, not an autocratic one.
Definitely the best part right there.

Exactly, and look how tedious it really is! Weeks and weeks of voting, ugh.
Clearly, we need a dictator to decide saimale without all this fuss and muss.
Naturally, I nominate myself.

You guys would probably just give the award to Gintoki immediately or something like that.
I don't even watch Gintama.
All shounen-shit is automatically disqualified for being shounenshit.

Just make Jexhius the leader. There ought to be a prize for winning the Anime Gaf League's Wall of Shame.
So we're democratically electing our moe dictator?
How about pirates? And spaceships?
A dictatorship approved by the majority is the most powerful dictatorship of all.
I will pour funding into NASA on space miniskirts R&D.
Somalia can go fuck itself.

What about the episodes without fights? Suddenly your guide becomes useless!
Plenty of dictators have been democratically elected!
Regulus Tera

I shouldn't even be counted! The list has lost its integrity.
Obviously, I would appoint a Secretary of Moe.
A dictator must be balanced, he can leave specialization to his subordinates.
So you want cajunator to be moe dictator?
I'll vote for firehawk before I vote for him.
Well then, bring on the rounds of primaries and debates! We must choose proper representatives for the Tsundere Party, the Yandere Party, and the Kuudere Party!
And let mononoawareism run rampant in our school system? Are you mad?
