Chet, please tell me that this doesn't do anything for you.
Do what?
And are we talking about just that shot or the character as a whole?

At least it's self-aware and intentionally trying to be stupid. Not that that makes it easier for me to watch it.

Managed to finish chuunibyou ep3 somehow.
It was hard to sit through Sanae's introduction:
Their teacher owning Rikka with her powers of english was embarrassing as well, but in a good way.
It really boggles my mind how bad Japanese are in English. Here most could answer to that question in early elementary school.

I think it might be my favorite anime this season. And it's not even moé!
I'm disappointed.
I'm sorry, but there's lots of stuff to watch this season, and most of them appeal far more to me than a show about childish teenagers pretending to be dumb superheroes. It's not even funny.
Psycho-Pass 2
Another pretty good episode.
The OP was stylish as fuck and the old dude pretty much owns.
Another pretty good episode.
The explanation for Akane not really knowing just what was going on certainly made sense and helped fill one of the minor issues I had with the first episode.
Maybe but it seemed about right for someone who seems to be fairly mentally unstable given that he's an Enforcer and all.
Dude, you're missing out on some finely crafted wahjah and some fantastic sakuga action scenes.
Part of me is embracing and laughing at the melodrama and insanity of it all. The other part of me is wishing I could magically warp into the show so I can strap Makoto's nuts to a car battery.
This fucking show.

It starts out as the best anime ever, and ends up as BEST. ANIME. EVER.
How long until he dies?
Does it? Maybe RyougaSaotome-sensei
yes, I did that

It's really enjoyable because it's executed with the usual loving and caring KyoAni craft.
He's obviously going to backstab the group. Then at the end becomes the head of the government and oppress everyone.
Why does craftsmanship matter if the subject matter doesn't appeal? There are some things I don't enjoy watching, and it doesn't matter how well made it is. I don't enjoy things just because someone put in effort into something. It doesn't even matter to me. My personal enjoyment is all that matters.

From this past year, English has officially been brought into elementary schools on a national level. 5th and 6th graders do English exercises that, while not quite proper language education, is supposed to prepare them for middle school. Kids then get three years of English education in middle school and then another three years in high school for a total of six years. Eight if you include elementary school.
The problem? Most middle school teachers can't speak proper English. When I say proper, I mean that they are incapable of speaking in complete sentences and are as far from fluent as you can get. Their English is often broken, difficult to understand and just wrong.
It doesn't help that the way English is taught is specifically so that students can pass exams. It's mind numbing. I get a lot of "Wow, how did you get so amazing at Japanese when you've studied for the same amount of time as us?" ... yeah, not quite the same guys.

All the craft in the world can't get me to enjoy a show if I find the characters and their actions either irritating or dull. Well, if the density of lavishly animated action was greater I might be able to look past that, but as it is I can't. I really wanted to like Chuunibyou too.
Plus - and I realize this is personal taste to some extent - I just don't find the overall presentation as compelling as Hyouka.
I was never really bothered by you not liking the show and this is a good point. I'm never going to watch something because it looks nice. I'll watch something that looks like shit if the characters or premise or even setting is done well.

That site makes me sad, now I can't enjoy fanservice ever again.
Luckily my memory is pretty poor.
I agree that personal enjoyment the main reason to watch anime, but I don't think the subject matter needs to be appealing to be enjoyable.
"Looks" =! craft
Wolves, angst and pretty boys don't appeal to me at all and I still enjoyed Wolf's Rain.
i'm calling episode 5
Shin Koihime Musou - Otome Tairan - 07
Probably one of my favorite episodes out of the series. Here's why:
Huang Gai devises a plan to bring an end to an argument going on between Sun Ce and Zhou Yu. Locks the two in a storage shed for them to make up, the plan is successful, and deliciousness ensues:
Ohohoho~! So lewd!
Next day passes, and Guan Yu and co. come across this scene: http://i.imgur.com/Q7oVz.png (NSFW)
That's how you end an episode. :SDBurton approved.
Huang Gai, Sun Shangxiang, and Zhou Tai

Awesome ep. It was pretty interesting to see how regulated the world in and the class system manufactured by the Sibyl System. It didn't really click with me just how automated it was until
Kagari's reaction to Akane's career path was neat too as it gave a third peek at how Enforcers handle their situation. I like how they're the independent free-wheeling sort to a degree as I assume they have nothing to lose at this point. Everyone else feels sort of homogenous which I suppose is the point.
I didn't mind the peak at Akane's personal life or examining her motivations as I think that's going to play a big part later. The system continues to have a sense of being flawed, this time present with
Speculation:
Then they had sex.

seeing Masaoka perform like an old hand at law enforcement. Akane was little more than a chaperone that enabled him to do what he does best. I didn't appreciate how this attitude was ingrained until society is until I saw Kogami being fine with her decision to shoot him.

Akane's clear profile despite all she'd gone through.
I wonder if there are outliers that defy the system or can't be properly qualified. I wouldn't be surprised if the white haired guy from the intro of the first episode was like that. How dangerous would a criminal be if the system itself was protecting him through its own flaws?
Duder if someone asked you a question in Japanese imagine the response of most of the English speaking world.

To be fair, Pikachu did get smashed in the face by Zekrom's lightning and was unable to use any electric moves. And, really I think Ash would have won if he didn't freak out over Pikachu being unable to use electric moves and smash that jerkass Trip's Snivy with some Iron Tail.

Subject matter will always be king for me. That doesn't mean it's the end all be all factor in determining whether I like something or not, but it's pretty friggin important. It doesn't matter how well made something like Shin Sekai is because it will never appeal to me with that premise (unless it turns into Elfen Lied).

Urobuchi is back to his old ways.
OP was incredible, but I preferred the ED song.
After the things he did in Madoka Magica, Im pretty confident Butch Gen will deliver the goods in Psycho Pass.
Managed to finish chuunibyou ep3 somehow.
It was hard to sit through Sanae's introduction:
Their teacher owning Rikka with her powers of english was embarrassing as well, but in a good way.
Sanae is a lot better than I expected.
The engrish part was fun as such things usually are.
I'm hoping Kagari or Ginoza dies first but Ginoza doesn't seem to be the type that dies early in the show.

Best episode of the 3 seasons
The action scenes are great. I'm immune to the moe, though, does nothing for me. The characters looks dumb and stupid, not cute.
Oh... it's not funny, really.
I can relate to the chuunibyo characters.
Nothing wrong with their behavior IMO.
They are still young and not necessarily at the point where they would have to stop being silly. People like that will eventually grow out of it anyway.
But the world needs people who are a bit eccentric to give it some flavor.
