Haibane Renmei is THE BEST anime series, not just one of the best.
Watch Fooly Cooly.
I did once. Been awhile, though.

Only losers haven't watched FLCL.
Actually, I thought FLCL had a surprisingly grounded ending despite how completely insane the whole thing is.
By which I mean everything after the pirate king fight. I guess that's more of an epilogue?
I've been feeling like a rewatch of that soon.
Although Corvo, you're watching PS&G, right? Thaaat's Gainax.
Ghibli is cheating, though.
Kill la Kill - 02
Another pretty goid (not great) episode. Everything still feels kind of disjointed and a bit too wacky. I'm guessing it will stay that way but I'm hoping for at least some seriousness, in the fights tok. The tennis match, while fun, lacked the impact if a real fight. Hopefully this doesn't turn into a monster (suit?) of the week show in the vein of Star Driver (and I'm one of the few people that enjoyed thst show). Still, I'll continue to be cautiously optimistic.

Like others have said, this is a pretty enjoyable show. It's interesting to see a world that's kinda like the real world, but also a fantasy world. Also Fino is super adorable. The whole thing with the
was pretty funny, and
made another appearance too. :lol
As much as I'm liking Golden Time and Kill la Kill, I think this and Strike the Blood may make me look forward to Fridays more than Thursdays if they both keep up this quality.

Interesting tidbit from the "From Light Novels to Anime/Manga" panel at NYCC, hosted by Kadokawa managing director Shinichiro Inoue:

I'll like to update my synopsis of this show.
Japan discovers another world and they decide to bring the GLORY OF JAPANESE PRODUCTS to break down the class system and bring equity for all.

Jesus. I went to pick up my Pokemon copy and I got freaked out by the fanboyism of some other college students. Like playing it in the streets and orgasming over the game. Maybe I've outgrown the childish love for the game.
Either ways I judge the franchise via the anime, and the anime has sucked for a whike now, besides Origin. 4 episodes and the guy became more badass than Ash ever did

Is Galilei Donna any good? I read the description but i am not convinced of starting to watch it.
On the other hand i really like Golden time.

I think it might be interesting, but I have to see how this plays out overall. It pretty much was a way of telling me I clearly didn't keep up with it.
The slow decline of manga isn't helping either.
I'm sort of not liking the camera being mapped to the stylus, yet. It feels unresponsive.

AD Police OVA 3
I don't get why this is on the list. I mean yeah it's got a horrible fetish of grotesque violence against scantily clad women, but is that? I expected something more from the List. Anyway, according to The List, next up is Angel Cop, but there are caveats. Someone please cite those to me before I start.
Manga adaptation getting bigger than LN adaptation again though the way thing looked.
Wait, either Jexhius recommended the OVA or I recommended the TV show. I forget which. Despite starting in the right place, the TV show got boring halfway in so it might not be that.
Anyway, Angel Cop is like 6 eps, but only 3 of those really qualify and the other 3 are more drab. That's the caveat.
In quality or popularity?
Regardless, Light Novels prove that there is no such thing as an inverse to Sturgeon's Law- 10% of everything is not good. With LNs it's more like 1%, and that's being generous.
I recognize the only three that matter from that image.
Sales, mainly. When you ask anime companies to go where the money is, they always run to their otaku core.
LNs are a biased sample to work with.

From the same author as Outbreak Company, Sasaki Ichirou brings you another adventure into his mindset.

Those are some puny ass weapons.
The first episode was pretty decent and had some nice bits of animation. I'd also check out Samurai Flamenco as it's a part of the same TV block.
Damn you, anime.
He wrote Scrapped Princess too!

From what I've heard, the Scrapped Princess novels were pretty bad and the anime improved on them considerably.
I see a goth loli carrying what appears to be a very overpowered weapon. I love this.
Scrapped Princess was really good.
Galilei Donna 01
this was better than i expected. the music did a good job of creating an air of curiosity at the right moments, helped along by some good sections of slow builds that created at least some kind of tension. the characters were established up front in terms of personalities, and it was fun to watch them bounce off one another as the episode played out. this will at least get by on its panache for a few episodes, so hopefully they can construct something interesting with the larger world here.

Golden Time Episode 02
Haha damn the Tea Club goes in hard.
I'm sure this is fairly exaggerated and not entirely accurately indicative of how college life really is in Japan but it's still pretty nice to see a slightly different side of the spectrum in these kinds of romcom anime. It's interesting see how chaotic the club recruiting gets. Linda > Kaga obvs even though #TeamLinda is already looking like a lost cause at this point in the game. Even still, Kaga isn't a bad character so I'm a little okay with this. With 24 episodes I can already see these developments have all kinds of twists and turns but for now I'm enjoying this more than I expected I would.

You need to rectify this situation. Golden Boy is a must. English dub on that as well.
You will (not) be disappointed.
Ah, the list I was handed said the OVA, which was just violent, but not really insane.

I like Lain better. Nothing else, though.
I will never forget you, Despera...
On that note, Miami Guns has perhaps the most comically ridiculously wrong "Miami" ever put to television, I think... good series though, I quite enjoyed it!
Definitely true, which is why I said they don't count.
Well, are 1% of American Young Adult novels good? LNs are like those... but maybe even worse, since they seem to be more popular. So yeah, 1% is being generous. LNs, and YA books, are pretty awful almost all of the time, no matter where they're from.
The Flowers of Evil 11-13 END
New OP again! I like this 'un.
The ending of Episode 11 was great. Loved the dream sequence, and
Episode 13 was surprisingly sad,
, and was a good finale, even if it had a ton of recycled footage. I liked what they did with the ending too, probably the best way they could've ended it without changing things from the source.
Really good show, probably AOTY. People who haven't watched it? Watch it!
Question: If I were to read the manga, should I read what the anime covered or can I just start from the end of the show?

The ending of Episode 11 was great. Loved the dream sequence, and
the essay tying into the very beginning of the show.
Episode 13 was surprisingly sad,
with Nakamura's character
I like that they didn't take the easy way out and give Nakamura some cartoonishly abusive family. The fact that her family is fairly normal makes her a more interesting character, as well as fitting better with the themes and feel of the show. It's impressive they managed to make her a fairly tragic character (although still scary) suddenly without it feeling forced.

I just think it's silly to nitpick an otherwise good depiction of Chicago when American productions fudge American locales all the time.
