Well, that seems like more of a thing in American television right now. The one English review of From the New World I read seemed to indicate it would be pretty character-focused, so I'm hopeful.

especially if theyre done by Bones
Accel World 02
Ok, this series does have some hooks. I can see why someone would like it. The battles are frantic in a fun way and the animation looks pretty good. Avatar designs range from god awful, bucktooth robot dude, to pretty awesome, silver IronMan ripoff, but are pretty neat overall. Music is a bit boring and the protagonist is still insufferable, but it just bought itself at least one more episode from me.
I think this show fits in with the discussion of "hooks" going on earlier. I feel like it would have kept my interest if it had somehow showed me more of what it had in its first episode. Maybe they could have cut to a battle between two random other dudes? I don't know, all I know is it should have tipped its hand more first episode. Not doing so is a near fatal mistake in my book.

Bones ending a series in general seems like a pretty bad idea.

At least the Toeiness in Smile seems to be less frequent than in Saint Seiya Omega.
I guess I read too far into it. Sorry for being so abrasive.
To be honest, aside from Amagami I doubt most of those shows will even hit 3k.

You could always do a bishop.
Thanks, now I don't have to wade through all the filler.
Yeah Yeah! KEEP GOIN!

Honestly, I have no idea what sells and what doesn't. A harem can take off or bomb on a whim, it seems.
What is this nonsense I'm reading?!
Yeah, at least wait until after duckroll has donated his fat stacks of cash.

also called the Hyouka defence force.
I like you. Can we Saya-protect him? I don't want him to suffer the fate of all those others today.
I still haven't had the time to check up my Utena boxsets.

This doesn't look like the MAPPA Kickstarter for Pluto to me! Who cares about Yuashit?

I've been trying to get my dad hooked on Utena for months now.
Or any other anime for that matter. One would think someone who actually introduced me to Evangelion would be open for some crazy shit.Get him to watch K-ONI've been trying to get my dad hooked on Utena for months now.
Kickstarter tells me 51 people. That's a lot of fans!

The problem with kickstarters in a nutshell.
50 now. Looks like someone pulled out after you said that.

Maybe. It's been awhile and I have a compulsion to finish shows I get more than halfway through.
Thanks for the late notice.. buddy. >:I :lol

Seitokai Yakuindomo OVA 04
Not a bad episode. Dirty jokes withstanding, aimless part one, not a bad part two and a decent part three.
It did give a nice guide to all the characters in the show:

Trending towards $0.
That or they're sadists.
She'll make them watch all the Key anime to test that.
The subtitle of Yutaka Yamamoto's biography.
Yeah, because for me the animation style is a huge plus. If its a unique style with crazy effects, all the better.
Accel World is definitely a show that could have condensed the first three episodes or so into the first one somehow and hooked the audience better. But I think you are starting to chip into the meat of it and the next few episodes will make or break it for you. also you will later encounter a particular character who might drive you up the wall. well a couple.

This is purely anecdotal, but Steins;Gate seems to be a bit of an exception in that it appeals even to people who don't normally watch anime.
But he's already met Kuroyukihime.

Really? I know a lot of my friends would never watch Steins;Gate cuz it's an anime.
KYH is awesome though. I think cajun was talking about annoying characters.
It's actually disappointing in this aspect. They allude to it but it doesn't translate well unless you understand the references so it's not AS funny. Still funny to see the interaction that follows though.

Aw hell no you didnt.
One thing I liked in From the New World that I haven't talked about yet is the digital filter effect they used in this shot:
It feels like the entire image is being distorted, melted or destroyed and sent into a state of chaos, which fits because
lead to the destruction and dissolution of civilization as we know it. In addition, the effect has a sort of wave-like structure, such that it gives the impression of a psychic attack, as if the camera is being directly assaulted. It's a powerful visual cap to the entire sequence.
Also, the word "dissolve" can be taken to mean melting or breaking something up, like what this digital effect seems to be doing to the image. But dissolve is also a filmmaking term referring to a gradual transition from one image to another. So you could consider this effect a sort of visual pun, lol.

we know from the rest of the episode that these children's actions

These three images are amazing in sequence.
Yeah I think S;G not appealing casual people.
Example?
I like how the fan translator for the anime and game just switch it to 4chan reference.

I know I'm not the only one who's had this experience. uchip has as well iirc.
Oh, but I did.
SCINCE! + Dr Pepper + really awesome comedic writing = success.
correct, twice!
one of them was in exchange I had to watch all of Breaking Bad
There's one part where Okabe is behind Kurisu when she's browsing @channel but it comes across differently from the actual Japanese dub and the English dub. In addition, some of the inflections that were portrayed in the JP dub is sort of... non-existent in the ENG dub. However, the dub is still very solid and still great.

Oh, I miss this show. Quite a lot after watching this episode.
So three short stories which were done pretty well.
Goes from Little Ms. TsunTsun discovering her inner shotacon and lesbian, MANIAC! and playing soap opera house. Part three was especially funny and made me miss this show even more.
MANIAC!

It's not our fault. Yuashit launched a Kickstarter!
Not really a PV, more like a preview for episode 1.

Yup. That's part of what makes it so good. My friend still brings up this scene now and then.
I honestly didnt know what to make of that show other than I liked the supernatural elements and of course the characters are cute. It was just...there. I watched it and forgot most of it.
It sold pretty well too, I guess because Ririchiyo and that pink haired girl are adorable.
