Hey how about FUCK NO. Bakemonogatari is the worst two and a half episodes of animu I've ever seen.Ever.

Not to make snap judgements, but it really sounds like you haven't watched a lot of bad anime if Bakemonogatari is the worst, or anywhere near the worst!

If you don't get to the Monkey Paw arc you're missing out, but if you hate it now that's unlikely to change.

 

[Uchip]

This explains a lot.

explain yourself!

 

[Jex]

Didn't Regulus already watch Denpa Onna to something something, or am I confusing him with someone else? Hasn't he shouldered enough SHAFTian mediocrity in life already?

Denpa has more consistent production values!

 

[Articalys]

If you guys ever change your avatars I will hate you from the bottom of my heart.

That's nothing compared to this amazing combo back from when Penguindrum was just starting out:

All three of their posts were actually about MPD too, for bonus points.

I won't disagree, but again, I do not make it a purpose in my life to watch a lot of bad animu.

explain yourself!

One becomes more discerning of how to spend money after actually earning it.

Denpa Onna didn't make me wanna puke every five minutes either.

It's also boring shit, so it evens out after a while.

I can't help but feel like having no income would make one more cautious with their spending.

Here I thought I might have been the only one who liked her.

A fellow Houkibro!

Time to replace the 54". That I don't even watch anime on. Shit. I need to fix that.

Why wouldn't you watch anime on your main TV? Dumb question, I know.

 

[hosannainexcelsis]

One of these days, I'll actually watch Bakemonogatari and K-ON so I can follow the discussions in here.

I won't disagree, but again, I do not make it a purpose in my life to watch a lot of bad animu.

If you haven't seen Garzey's Wing or Glass Fleet, you've missed out on some quality entertainment.

Yeah but the penguins suck, that's a key difference.

 

[Unknown Soldier]

Eh. If Air were more like Doomsday and if Yukito and Misuzu, instead of respectively turning into a bird (!) and dying from an overdose of LOVE (!!), went off to become rulers of a tribe of cannibal people in the post-apocalyptic highlands of Scotland...well, then it would probably be my favorite movie ever.

Doomsday is indeed a surprisingly good movie. It works as a pretty standard but enjoyable post-apocalyptic action film and also as an intentional homage and tribute to the many post-apocalyptic action films which came before it. Also, Rhona Mitra is really hot with an eyepatch.

Chihayafuru 11:

So, the outcome was never really in question, but I found it kind of funny how they tried to - in the very last minute - make you sympathize with the opposing team. Which, in itself, is fine because that's how Japanese sports fiction seems to work, but it's like they forgot that the guy was an ass last week. It's just some weird characterization quirk that probably popped over from the manga and should have been rewritten.

Clearly you've never seen Hajime no Ippo and Bryan Hawk! Filthy Americans....

There's good bad, there's shit bad, and then there's boring bad. Bakemono constitutes a mixture of the latter two.

You know what you must do.

I would have if you hadn't dissed the penguins...

Well, the other way to go is to just make them pure villains who are just a force to be defeated!

yea... being too sick to work or study doesn't really make me spend the 20$ spending money per week like crazy
buying anime goods is more like a reward for staying alive

 

[mAcOdIn]

Noses?

Can't say. What I can say is that Yuriko's packing more heat with that cat than Regulus Tera could handle.

 

[trejo]

After Metal Gear Solid I'm kind of over using eyepatches as a reference to Escape from New York.

I do love the Road Warrior-esque chase sequence and the use of Good Thing by Fine Young Cannibals during the, er, cannibal orgy though. And all of the pointless bloody violence of course.

No love for Bob Hoskins?

Chihayafuru 11 - SHAFT neck-tilt edition

This episode contained a pretty standard match handled in a fairly normal way, with all the 'interest' revolving around how the team is getting stronger over karuta. I guess it's a pity that it's such a dull game.

 

[Regulus Tera]

What's up with everyone trying to peer pressure me today?

Girls Bravo 1

What happens when a gynophobic highschooler gets transported to another planet via his bathtub where less than 10% of the population is male? Sadistic sexy fun harem escape time!

Also, the girls have HUGE nipples in this show. It's like a big gaping hole with a slice of pepperoni wedged in it.

Chihaya is so driven that it's easy to ignore the peons caught in her wake, but Taichi is there to snap her out of it. Good episode, although the sense of an opportunity lost was rather bitter at the end, when Taichi got the text.

Also, I wonder if the real reason Taichi didn't let Chihaya check out his room was because it was something like this:

They really need to start making anime in 3D.

The 3D effect is still a bit jarring for me, I watched a trailer for How to Train Your Dragon 3D and I spent more time trying to figure out where shit was in 3D space than I did actually watching the trailer.

Arata is nothing. Taichi's a douche... at the moment, Nothing > Douche. When they actually make Arata a character instead of a goal, things might change.
