Yay, Mid-Autumn Festival time. Mooncake season!

Akikan is the show that truly tested the limits of oh how stupid can a show be. I don't think I've ever watched a more stupid show than that.
It's Japan so probably not.

Which kind?
These days, there are a crazy amount of different varieties of different fillings both inside and in the middle. It can even vary depending on which bakeries you are getting it from too.
well I didnt have a lot of choice. It was packaged from a local asian market.
Perhaps Brain Base's darkest, but not anime's.

Well if they are the regular ones with the giant egg yolk in the middle, yeah I'm not a real big fan of those.
I am liking the sweet potato version that seems to be new this year.
First Manglobe, now Brain base. Who is next to fall from grace?
Yeah. Has an egg right in the middle. I dont like the texture of them and they arent as delicious as they look.
Yup it is
I'm rethinking my life here after seeing that. Where did I go wrong?
BB's far from fallen from grace, fortunately. Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun, Blood Lad, Penguinbear (?), and Amnesia all argue for a fairly bright future, at least in the short term.
Manglobe be well and truly dead, though. I should really watch Saraiya Goyou one of these days.

I didnt realize they were doing all of those (watching them all) :/ Apparently theyre now on my least favorite studios list, so my confidence in them is low
Well this sums my opinion up on the show. Pisses me off that I might have to watch till Feb and March of next year to see Michi Random. Damn it.
I am forever grateful to this random guy at an animecon who talked me into not dropping the show. Best anime advice I've ever been given.
pourquoi?

You still haven't watched Durarara or Natsume right? I think these are the two Brains Base shows with the highest chance of you liking them.
Can't beat Baccano, Durarara, penguindrum and Kuragehime except the potential penguinbear.
Funny, the only thing I would care from them is a Sacred Blacksmith sequel for some reason although the show is average.

I looked at your MAL, and unless I missed something, the only Brains Base series that you've completed and scored is Sengoku Collection. I know that you didn't enjoy that, but the list of least favorite studios that MALgraph generates is less accurate the fewer shows you've seen from a particular studio. If you've somehow managed to only see a single stray bad work from a generally-good studio, MALgraph is going to skew your results in the completely wrong direction.
Assuming your MAL is up to date and accurate on what you have and haven't seen, stuff like Natsume Yuujinchou, Baccano!, Durarara!, and Innocent Venus seem like they'd be your bag more or less. You should backlog 'em.

Saw just about all of baccano but was so confused, didnt realize I didnt have it up there.
Didnt ever look into Natsume, it always seemed like itd be one of those really slow and mellow anime?

Based on the prescreening impressions and Shinji Takamatsu's presence, I don't think it'll be as bad as you might think.
Let's see what Takahiro Omori's next show is.
region locked unboxing videos... my god
Yeah, Natsume is pretty mellow, but I think you'd be highly fond of the character designs.
Baccano! is pretty hectic, and while I think that it's one of the greatest anime ever made, I totally understand why some people find it difficult to watch. If you wanted to like Baccano! but just couldn't, you may appreciate Durarara!. It has the same intertwining of narratives, but at a slower pace and with a smaller core cast than Baccano! so it's more approachable.
Also, just google some pictures of Heiwajima Shizuo and Orihara Izaya. There's your motivation.
Very good things lie in wait for you if this is the case.
I appreciate the ray of hope.
YOU CANT TOUCH THIS
In terms on content? Usually they comprise of a combination of re-purposed assets from inserts from the Japanese releases and unused cover art.
Well it seems to work. I wish other companies would try stuff like that.
Did you give them a right hook for an answer? :lol
No. I just told them I dont watch it anymore. My roomate asked if its because the cute girls keep dying and I was like "thats part of it yea"
but its really more that the main characters are yawn inducing.

Oh the episode of SAO did show that there are some good songs on the OST. All of the tracks with vocals used in the anime are my favorite. Though its a shame they didnt have the creative masterminds of the people sunrise got for Accel World songs, and is there a third Accel World soundtrack?

Soooo much better than her work in SAO.
You can tell she was very passionate about the project.
But only one died.
Thats not difficult.
Its more than that. Lots of cute girls died in Madoka Magica, but that show is one of my top 10 favorite anime. Its much more to do with how fucking stupid the show is in general.
She was the best one though.
I haven't listened to a huge amount of her work, but as of now I think the Tsubasa Chronicles OST is one of the best she's ever done. I'm not a big fan of her KnK and her Pandora Hearts works though.
Candidate for Goddess 1-12
Finally finished watching this fucking terrible series and NOTHING FUCKING HAPPENED. Robots and catgirls should be a no brainer but every time it's dreadful shite like this. There's like five casts of characters in this series, none of them have any character development at all, the fat guy gets thinner and that's about it. 60-70% of the characters have between zero and two lines of dialogue. The vast majority of the script is the main character yelping inane phrases "Why? Huh? What? Huh? Why? I'll become a pilot. Why?" It's like they couldnt afford actual voice acting for most of the episodes and just recorded a few stock spiky haired moron protag grunts to pad it out. On the topic of low budget the CG is insanely bad, there are scenes where the exact same enemy, in the exact same pose, in the exact same direction is copy/pasted hundreds of times. The mechs themselves next to never do anything, they just have floating doodads to do everything because animating is hard. The direction is poor to the point of being baffling at times, there's a scene of about 2 minutes of a clock ticking and birds tweeting with the character sitting there smiling, then epic fanfares of heroic action music as he finishes his breakfast, stands up and opens the door. Not to mention
