Weird is fine. My problem is that we're supposed to care about Anthy, and the entire plot revolves around her, but she's basically just a soulless doll.
Your comment about "why things are the way they are" is encouraging, since that's something that's been really bothering me as well. I understand that everything's symbolic and that the show is deliberately mysterious, but the conflicts and duels thus far have held no weight because of it.
I don't even stick with shows I don't enjoy when they're free -- let alone when there's a ~$70 pricetag attached.

The second set has been ordered. I hate you all.
I'm in the same boat, I bought all three of the "newly" released sets and don't feel like soldiering through the third episode.

Not just Omigawa but she sounds even pretty cute without her angel of death voice.
Hey now, even the angel of death is still an angel, show some respect for Omigawa.
Shoulda' been Soredemo season two though
I always thought it was super cute that the voice she uses for Nazuna is closest to her real voice in all the roles she's done. My heart feels things.

Brother. You should at least give it a few more, though. Four and five were my favorites, even if they resorted to some really down and dirty tactics to do it.
That's good to hear, but I have my doubts that it's going to happen soon enough.

30 for the second and 40 for the third iirc.
Medaka Box 4
I was originally planning on rewatching the first three episodes to see if I'd enjoy them more now that I've read the manga and unfortunately just skimming them reminded me of how dull they were and this episode was certainly no exception. Oh well, at least the tomboy was cute and Kikaijima's coming up in the next episode so it's not all bad.

I'm enjoying the Manga, but I'll agree with that. With the Anime, I'm quite content to just start watching at Abnormal.

She's even cute in derpmode!
i've always wanted to see fumiyo kouno's work adapted in the form of flash motion tweening
tekyu is clearly being made in a cupboard by itagaki's north korean immigrant sweatshop to save budget for this
e:
tekyu - 01
I have no idea what was going on (I guess there were two girls glomping each other on the tennis court) and I don't really know why I sat through this. I guess it was three minutes long.
what a waste of perfectly good north koreans

After reading through ten chapters of Sukitte Ii na yo, I'm prepared to say that it will be my favourite shoujo of the season
and fully understand why they went with the indie art film direction. My only fear is that they

You had me excited until this. KnT was a breath of fresh air?

In terms of having a heroine who doesn't need a white knight to save her? Yeah. Kazehaya is a plot device, like every other shoujo, but he isn't the bad kind of plot device like... say, Usui from Maid-sama.

That's true. I was thinking more of in terms of plotting and pacing where KnT suffers from the same problems as most shoujo romances, but yeah, the gender issues via-a-vis the relationship with the male lead are better than most.

I like that the first season (and the live action movie) isn't really about "getting the guy". It's more about a girl just learning to have self-esteem. It's still wishfulfillment, but at least it's positive.
It's like the shoujo version of... well, Fap Note or Welcome to the NHK, where the otaku loner nerd learns to grow up after shunning society. But with more flowers and sparkles. lol
Heck, NHK is
about a dude who "gets a loli", which apparently is a fantasy for otaku everywhere. lol

So I take it Sukitte does something interesting with the whole savior male romantic interest thing and doesn't just play it straight? That's encouraging because that was probably my biggest concern after watching the first episode.

Manga spoilers, so stop reading -
after chapter 2, the manga opens up and starts going into the back story of other girls. It suddenly becomes much more *real*, with one story impressing me based purely on its visual depiction of one of the characters.
Oh yeah, and there's sex. Like actual honest to god love hotel sex. Which is why I name dropped Skins.

Honestly, I don't remember her age. But still,
she's a young girl who shows up and changes the MC's life. It's basically a magical girlfriend show without the stupid stuff that comes with that.
point being he doesn't really "get" her
they help each other through difficult times

Magi episode 1
Finally caught this. I read up to the end of volume 14 of the manga over the last few weeks and found myself loving it. Waiting for the volumes to come out hurts my soul.
In any case, an all around solid first episode with some really killer production values. Animation was quite good and the music was appropriate as well. A-1 did an excellent job adapting the weird ass expressions and chibi variants of the characters.
As a manga reader, I definitely missed the material they cut from the beginning. The way things have been cut feel odd to me, partially because in some ways it's pretty radically different. As a result the pacing feels a bit off. Nothing deal breaking, but noticeable. Hopefully as the series goes on, things get a bit more leveled out. I'm hopeful that that'll happen over the next few episodes.
On the whole though, I really enjoyed it and I'm looking forward to riding this train all the way to the end.
Except for the ED theme which is a huge pile of shit.

This is kind of promising given how much I thoroughly enjoyed the first episode of My Little Monster.
Now I'm curious to your reaction when hearing AKB like stuff on train or radio lol.

The funny thing is that they both have such bland and standard shoujo openings. lol
Do you watch a lot of shoujos? Because it's pretty shoujo.
At least he doesn't punch her.
I think so.
But oh my god Misaki was cute. Deranged and clingy, but really fucking cute.
One of the things I thought was particularly interesting about Suki-tte was that the secondary characters all had "moments". Unlike Kaibutsu-kun, where the focus is squarely on Haru and Shizuku and we see nothing of the supporting cast to start with (except the one blonde delinquent guy), Suki-tte rather portentously gives us short moments with a bunch of other characters - the girl with the big breasts, the girl with the piercings etc. I would assume that the show will open up to a larger ensemble relatively quickly.
I'm not saying that Kaibutsu-kun won't do the same - because clearly it will - but Suki-tte made it much more obvious that the show will expand beyond the central relationship.
Fixed for accuracy (I'm afraid I watched this with subtitles so disengaged my brain a bit - did Haru ACTUALLY do that, or is it an exaggeration for translation effect?)

Misaki is so crazy and broken. I don't think you can call her a magical girlfriend. It was a pretty interesting relationship (especially in the novel and manga), much better than the normal shoujo thing with the shy main girl and the wild but handsome guy.
I'm not firehawk. :3
I agree. That was a pretty tasteless thing to do too.
But the show showed all those characters you're supposed to care about within the first minute! Yeah, I'm not sure what the purpose of that was. It takes away the mystique of the secondary cast. Now you know the blond guy will be important to the plot as opposed to second guessing.
