Don't let them bully you. When it doubt just think, what would Keita do?
I am, however, a moron! That'll teach me to not use multi-quote. Edited, sorry.
She is pretty broken. I think she has just as many issues as Satou does and possibly even more.

Lucky Star 18
Love the Haruhi and some other anime references, the girls are super cute.

Two words. Tsukasa's cellphone.
All this Lucky Star has led me to look up some videos, specifically the ED's. So crazy! This makes me want to watch it.
Magi the Labyrinth of Magic ep 1
I have no complains for what they did for episode 1. It's understandable if they are doing 2 cours not to mention wanting to expand more on Sinbad and his generals some sacrifices have to be made, they streamline this episode to introduce all 3 characters at once which is good to get the pace going. I do enjoy the OP, BGM, the production and the action but the ED song is fucking terrible.

code breaker 1
there were no codes that required breaking.
And that ending seemed kinda pointless if the girl is in the freaking OP!
So many pretty boy with magic power shows this season.
While I do use OP's to try and gauge the show's tone, main character's, who is getting added to the harem etc. I don't use them as absolutes either.
For example.
Tengen Toppe Gurren Lagann.
Maybe she's in the OP to highlight that the main guy is evil enough to off someone who features in the OP, layers man, layers...
I've mentioned this multiple times. It's like no-one reads my posts when I say something positive about Omigawa.
...oh...

Regarding Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun, I would have thought that the pre-OP montage with Shizuku going "This story is about her and him and her and the rooster" would have been enough of a clue that it'll have an ensemble cast. That's actually something the anime added, probably because the direction the manga will take doesn't really become clear until chapters 3 and 4.

Lol, I usually skip that, aswel as the Lucky Channel.
That's really surprising considering the promo material focuses so much on Aladdin.
You skip the Lucky channel? shit thats one of the best parts of Lucky Star.

well, in 1 1/2 minutes (episode was 2 minutes long and the opening and preview thing were 30 seconds long)

Damn son, you missed out
It's really not.
You know, I completely forgot about that sequence. My bad!
When they flip out on each other it is.

I don't know if you can use "best" in combination with Lucky Star.
Magi 1
With people comparing the Magi manga with FullMetal Alchemist, I couldn't help but notice that this debut episode was pretty similar to Brotherhood's, although a little bit slower because they needed a couple of minutes to establish the characters before having
I heard some people who have read the source material dislike the pacing, but it felt right to me, to be honest.
And I liked it. A world with dungeons coming out of nowhere seems like an interesting enough setting, and this...
... Just seals the deal.

Aladdin wreck shit up, just like Ed did back then.

I guess we have different views of what constitutes as comedy.

Oh wow, the Ixion Saga DT OP has some of the dirtiest lyrics I've seen in an OP song. Someone on animesuki has helpfully provided a translation, with the lines on the left being the lyrics as they're interpreted by the written karaoke text and the lines on the right the innuendo-laden actual sung lyrics.
Jawohl.
Today/tonight's new shows are:
Aikatsu! (no simulcast)
Sakurasou no Pet-na Kanojo (no simulcast)
Girls und Panzer (Crunchyroll)

Oh yes, Ive sit through this one, sang by a beautiful lady.
I might watch them if they're funnier than the episodes themselves?
((((；ﾟДﾟ
It felt like the Team Rocket parts in Pokemon, something that is there at the end of each episode, if it makes sense.
thanks!
Oh nice. Definitely going to check out Girls und Panzer (as if there was any doubt I would)

How could you skip Lucky Channel? :\
Well that's surprising. I'm wondering, do artists who do these types of illustrations usually work on the show itself?
Real talk, Lucky Channel was the best part of the show.

Will check out, though getting 24 or such episode seems a bit much for it.

That was....amazing. That's all.
Kamisama Hajimemashita 1
OK, I guess. Didn't feel very shoujo'ish which is normally a good thing but the show didn't really replace it with anything else. Was kinda boring tbh, but was not bad.
So I guess it goes
Tonari no Kabitsu-kun
Kamisama no Hajimemahita

Finished Hyouka last night. I really enjoyed it. The cast of characters were likable, and meshed well. I liked the way the show would take trivial "mysteries" and make them dramatic.
The ending was wide open. I expect we'll see more depending how successful it was. I'd watch a Hyouka OVA or movie. Or even better just a couple hours of Chitanda being Chitanda.

I'm looking forward to Sakurasou no Pet na Kanojo, and I don't mind giving Girls und Panzer a try too.
I just read through 11 volumes of Magi and I feel like the changes to the structure for the first episode were good overall. Maybe it's because I watched the episode first, but I feel as if the changes add more structure overall to the beginning.

Shaft will also animate the Fate/Extra CCC opening.
They will never finish Kizumonogatari or? I need my Kiss-shot!

I'm sure someone explained it to me before, but why is Saki so popular in SaiMoe? Is it just the number of girls there are to vote for? Is it trolling?
I guess I'll check it out then.
Trolling + a dedicated fanbase who think SaiMoe actually matters.

Still mad about Taiga winning, huh?

Toradora is best romcom
Taiga is best girl
Her winning is one of the few times SaiMoe got it right

DIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
I'll just echo the praise everyone has been giving it but, yeah, i'm still not too hot on the artstyle. JoJo deserves more than the cheap digital art they're using.
Was surprised they didn't show
, wonder how they'll do other future more gorey scenes. They'll probably won't show [manga spoiler]
