they have a bright future awaiting them with a career in writing for ann if they keep this up.
I suppose that could work, but high school wasnt drudgery.
It was actually rather fun and interesting.

If you teach elementary into JHS into HS, it's even more painful to watch the evolution of a lot of the kids.
They go from super energetic awesomeness, to little zombies, and then they sort of even out in HS, sometimes. JHS is where you see them slowly die inside. >.>
My crazy kids may be crazy and a bit socially awkward, but they're enthusiastic. I take what I can get. XD
You didn't go to high school in Japan!
I can't speak with authority on what it's like, but it can't possibly be as lax as the American public educational system.
MajiKoi cover looks SDBurton-approved.New pickups for this week.
I noticed I have a good amount of harem comedies.
Oh snap! Listing off a few to start with.
- Simoun *
- Maria-sama ga Miteru*
- Aoi Hana*
- Sasameki Koto
- Re: Cutie Honey
- Revolutionary Girl Utena*
- Oniisama e...*
- Candy Boy
- Battle Athletes
- Maria Holic
....ugh
- Strawberry Panic
Here's the thing. I'd say start off with Simoun personally. Awesome story, memorable characters, and fantastic music to boot. Watch it, watch it, watch it!
Maria-sama ga Miteru is definitely up there for me, but this beast is a gauntlet. 4 seasons (1 of which is an OVA) will keep you occupied for some time. After you finish it you must choose a family among the three: Chinensis, Gigantea, and Foetida. This anime is classy as hell.
Aoi Hana has a more 'realistic', 'down to earth' vibe in contrast to the other shows listed. A very solid show and one that simply cannot be ignored.
Revolutionary Girl Utena is probably what the majority will tell you to start with. I'd agree with them if they were talking about the movie specifically, but you may appreciate it more like me if you watched the television series before it.
Oniisama e... has drama like nobody's business. It also has one of my favorite characters to date, as she puts up with no one's shit. Respect!

I was thinking more the former, but I guess the latter could work too.
That would be interesting, but it would also mean the show couldn't be a comedy anymore. At least, it would have to be a black comedy.
Eh, it might not be her best work but it seems fine to me. Even if I didn't feel that way, I don't think "Because the Fuse soundtrack was bad, any future movie scores by Oshima will also be bad" is a valid argument. Unless her previous film scores have been lackluster; I haven't heard any of them.

Secret sixth ranger!
Not a bad episode. I do like how they toss in random action moments or more like give us an action minute after a bunch of normal school stuff.
Nap girl is pretty adorable. Don't care about hair girl really.

Oh wow, the cover, back cover, and disc art for this are all super yuri and hilariously NSFW.

*saves this list for... future reference*
I've actually been meaning to watch Aoi Hana and Utena.

I'm sure the schooling system is worse in this regard in Japan than America, but I'm still glad I was homeschooled.
SDBurton designed it.
Aria art pamphlet has some Yuri stuff going on also.
Also thanks for the recommendations SDBurton.

The only real yuri show there is Aoi Hana though!
Shame it didn't get another season to catch up to where the manga is now. Now that would be real yuri.

I think only two hands were played too. It's like this shouldn't really work but the show is so masterful in how it creates these "in the moment" situations that the slower progression really doesn't matter.
Seems like it'd been better to choose the eye to keep your opponent from being able to read you as well rather than the ear as the first loss would be crushing.
I have no regrets. They'll thank me in the long run.
Don't mention it! Let me know what you pick so I can be on the lookout for your impressions.

Well, since it's a Shimura manga, the anime would need to be 52 episodes if you wanted to get to the real "real yuri". lol
I'ma cut you and your Best Student Council nonsense if you keep this up!
You know, regarding how other people try to include Rikka, it really astounds me just how forgiving and accepting Rikka's fellow classmates are. I know that the show is a comedy so there's not going to be any "nail sticking out and getting hammered down" business as would occur in real life with extreme prejudice, but take for example the cheerleading tryout scene in this episode--Rikka starts rambling off her nonsense, and the response of one of the other girls is to the effect of "I have no idea what she's saying, but whatever!" and the cheer routine continues.
This is the most tolerant student body on the planet! How can't one be at least a little frustrated by someone who's given an improbable number of opportunities to gain acceptance and turns them all down, heh.
I'm just tsuntsun for Rikka, not tsundere!
True, and for all the problems that I have with individual aspects of the show, I like the product as a whole. If I were the one adapting this material I'd probably be blacklisted from the anime industry for life!
Nice.
Looks very similar to Steel Angel Kurumi which I'm not sure if DSBurton has seen or not.
It is pretty yuri though.
Also, yes watch Simoun.
Its awesome.

Kickstart it!
The way her shirt is drawn bothers me.
Clothing doesn't conform to a chest like that with those lines.
It's actually kind of annoying. I get it! You want us to see her boobs. SHIRTS DON'T WORK THIS WAY!
Not that I know what having big boobs is like ;~;

Getting creepy? I thought that threshold was busted years ago.
Looks like the Blood-C DVD/Blu-Ray combo was finally put up on rightstuf. The Limited Edition comes with a ~*~fReE GiFt~*~ if you pre-order while they're still available!
Have you seen Steel Angel Kurumi?
Smile PreCure! Episode 35
Haha, this episode was so much fun. Usually I only watch an episode once but I saw this one days ago and the re-watched it again.
There's just so many great moments in this one. You have Yayoi all nerding out, the sporty girls being all disinterested because it's too Otaku I guess, the reactions, the reaction faces and the amazing voices to go along with all of those. Akai Oni and his high pitched "Beamu!" haha.
The twist of
When the girls first sit her down and her "Huh?". Reika not only has a good memory but she's an amazingly fast reader haha. It looks like the decor
All those parents looking depressed at the beginning but
The whole episode is full of great moments.
Next episode looks like it will be pretty interesting too even though the ending will be fairly obvious. Not sure if that type of theme has been done in a PreCure yet.
Last but not least... This Episodes Jan Ken Pon with Yayoi!
Me:Rock
Yayoi:

The twist of
Yayoi not knowing how to actually operate the robot.
are becoming a bit of an asset this arc.
naturally happy in the end.

No one even wants to bring the manga out here! lol
Around the time when these things crossed the 20k post barrier!
I don't know why, but this made more laugh more than I should have. lol
Just assume I haven't seen anything unless it's super popular.
(Don't let Hitokage know I haven't seen Sailor Moon!)
I think I want to start with Maria Holic. It seems lighthearted and since it takes place in a school maybe it has a interesting cast of characters.
Candy Boy description doesn't sound bad.
I think I want to focus on Romance Comedy.
That's what I was thinking with the drama club scene. The organizer obviously looked irritated and everyone had a surprised or, in Yuuta's case, an exasperated look, but they just let her do her thing. I don't really have that many problems with Rikka's behavior, but that sort of disregard for others' courtesy bothers me.
Well, that wasn't really enough for me to be bothered with Rikka as a whole. You're right that, as a comedy, there isn't going to be some extreme prejudice going on. You do see hints of it in Yuuta's friend mentioning that Yuuta was in a strange hobby club, though. It's the small things like this that are probably going to build up into Yuuta's major character conflict.
The school reminds me of K-On's setting in that the students are really pleasant and everything's nice and idea. Lol, I don't mind that at all though.
:O
Jbug617, read this as slowly as you can.
You just became one of my favorite posters.

Wow, there was more overthinking, internal dialogue, over-overthinking and thinking the same thing than (insert anime that does this cause I can't think of one).

Maria Holic is horrible though.
Maria Holic is great and there will be nothing said further on this matter!

Even mAc turned on S2!
Well its a really cute show.
Part of the whole android maid thing that was big in the 90's.
Kurumi and the other androids are brought to life with a kiss and the android girl becomes very attached to whoever kissed her.
So if a android kisses another android...well you know.
Plus it has some nudity in it so I wouldnt recommend imagesearching it at work.
The show is fun, perverted, and really cute.
Hahaha.
(I skip all the transforms
indeed.Maria Holic is horrible though.
The truth is somewhere in between SDBurton's and your extremes: Season 1 - watchable, Season 2 - turrible.
Her best work will be Zetsuen. Of course it wouldn't be her best!
And yes, it's not a valid argument (wasn't making that one argument, but that's besides the point), but I'm less optimistic of her future film scores she's being assigned this year as Zetsuen is known to be 2-cours, and Fuse has not shown the same brilliance heard in Zetsuen.
