There once was a girl fron Nantucket,
Whose head got stuck in a bucket
But her father, named Rin,
Ran away with men
And as for the bucket, Nantucket.

I don't.

This was a really nice light-hearted anime. Some moments were slow, but thankfully nothing went too far to make things really distracting. I wasn't expecting the ending
With that being said though, the characters were fairly average and none of them were particularly really interesting. But then again the show's just trying to tell a lighthearted fun story without being too serious.
So all in all, this was actually kind of a pleasant surprise. I wouldn't rank this show in a top ten list, as nothing about it really screamed "amazing!" But while the characters aren't very interesting, they're by no means unlikable. It is fairly standard though. 7/10.

to have them lose the match, but even with that loss, they don't lose any morale over anything.

Episode one:
Episode two:
Episode three: Fucking Charizard.
Episode four: HEY GUYS BUY POKEMON X AND Y
Nice lineup here. Thursday will be a good day
THe ED is wonderously squee but the whole show is pure joy. As long as you dont mind economic talk. But I like economics so there you go. Well ok I love fluffy fuwafuwa tails and ears too.
Funny how people complained about MAL weeabooing everything and now people say Hummingbird turns all the japanese names to english.
Why not just Hyouka? The only people who would buy it know what it is already.
Like Tsuritama was just called Tsuritama. theres no english meaning to it but thats what fans know.
Ah, thanks.

Didn't notice this until now, but Crunchyroll stealth-updated their announcements thread with confirmation of a Nagi no Asukara simulcast, plus a few other region details.

What aired today is episode 0; a.k.a., a higher-quality version of the original 2011 ONA, which was basically incomprehensible. Next week is when the new material starts, and it should be much easier to grasp, if the more focused and confident 2012 shorts are any indication.
Horse Detective
Why the long case?
Jeez finding a good slice of life / comedy show is tough work.

Are you specifically looking for a blend or one or the other? Either way here's something from a quick MAL scroll:
Hidamari Sketch
Minami-ke
Aria
A-Channel
Azumanga Daioh
Genshiken
Ikoku Meiro no Croisée
Kamichu
Working!
I love how smug and plump they are.
Horse Detective
Why the long case?
Anything within both categories. The issue is that I am so sensitive to art style that some of the supposedly good ones really bother me just because the characters look badly drawn.
Im enjoying Toradora right now.

Well Toradora's a RomCom and I'm no expert in most of that.
Take a look at my (edited) post and see what those do for you.

We need to find whoever drew them and put them in charge of a Tonnura-san adaptation.

Thanks.
I really tried with K-On but good god I cant keep up with the energy. Lol

I'm surprised I made it through the entire first series of Inu Yasha. Definitely a product of its time. Though I remember enjoying it, that ping-pong plot of it is the only thing preventing me from wanting to start the second series. I'm with you: I'd much rather see a spin-off with the Sess and Rin being all Kenshiro and Lin-like though sesshomaru is a hard character to find motivation for. I can't imagine what they would explore that the prime series hasn't beat into the ground yet
The biggest problem the second series has is that it just goes too fast. They rush through far too much plot in 26 episodes (it really should have been 52). Still, it's worth watching for anyone who did see the original series, and the end of Inuyasha is actually really strong.

I think we agreed in an earlier thread that "Classics Club Mysteries" would be the best localization title.
...Not that we'll ever have to worry about that.
"Mysteries"!?
Servant X Service is good. I also like Silver Spoon but I would say that is more slice of life than comedy.
Its like the jman bat signal.
Aah, that makes sense. I hope the animation quality stays at least somewhere near that level.
Yes, mysteries.
Spice and Wolf II 2
Holo drinking continues to lead to nothing but greatness. Anyhoo, goddamn Lawrence, what the hell? Why would you say something like that? "Err, I can just take you to that place and you can get back to your home by yourself right? Hurr". Holo's right, you are fucking dumb. And she's being nice with that if that was anything to go by. Goddamn, she actually looked hurt by that.
Good to get to see and hear the actual OP this time. Don't like it quite as much as the first, but still good.

Looks rather sinister, don't you think?
I liked it too, even if I had some Chuu2 flashbacks.
The main girl I didn't mind, but I much prefer both Mitsuki and Shizuku.
Beyond the Boundary 01
It's only because the dialogue was in Japanese that the clumsy exposition dialogue wasn't literally unbearable, and even then it was close.
I felt it was...not either good or bad, but just strange how attention-grabbing Mirai's glasses are. Not only the size and the color, but the way they're constantly shifting around on her face from even minor head movements.

Minami-ke Tadaima - End
So this ended up being pretty good. After a rough first two episodes, it found its groove and stayed enjoyable for the rest of the way. The visual creativity isn't quite up to the level of the first season, and the staleness endemic to romantic comedies that don't allow their relationships to develop shows up, but when it's not focused too strongly on hapless love (which is most of the time), it's got a lot of clever, funny segments. The highlight was undoubtedly the vegetable segment of episode 8, which was unexpectedly and jaw-droppingly bizarre. It's the sort of skit that makes good use of an established cast you can play around with within the limitations of status quo. I rather liked how the ending brought all the cast together (
) as the culmination of a couple episode-long plot threads. It made for as decisive an ending as you can get in this kind of show.
My main annoyance was the gradient hair shading that feel. seems to like doing - I recall seeing it in PapaKiki too. I'm not sure what the point of that is; the gradient ends up making the hair look flat, which is not what proper shading should do.

She does seem like best girl already, with just one line.
The childhood friend is not bad also.

Motto! Ojamajo Doremi 8
This episode was :SDBurton as fuck, I mean she's all over Aiko, and suddenly a new competitor joins the race! Miho, who stalks Aiko for some reason, also happens to be Nobuko's friend, and she's attempting to steal her away from Aiko. Much to her dismay, she notices how Nobuko always talk about Aiko since the two of them share everything with each other, and thus, Miho feels like she's in her shadow.
What's funny is that this was the focus of the preview, Onpu's bishojoness. Provided she was older, I would call this another Sexy Onpu shot. SO instead it's Bishoujo Onpu. Anyway, apparently Miho helped with the story with illustrations, and they reenact it because Momoko can't read Kanji (why didn't you just say this out loud), and realized that even in the story, Miho gets thrown under the bus. Failed to catch her heart because she wants Aiko more, and she cries on the final page.
But hey we straightened things out, Miho is considered a best friend, but Nobuko also basically said that Aiko's number 1. Ooohohoho man this was very yuri tastic. And none of it was an exaggeration either. KIDS SHOW

Kyousougiga (1st ONA)
OHMYGOD THE COLOURS EVERYWHERE AND THE WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON I DON'T KNOW BUT IT'S WONDERFUL. I think Yasaburou would love to pay a visit to this version of Kyoto. This show almost reminds me of Hoshi no Umi no Amuri in its sheer crazy style and momentum. It even has thecovered.random girl-on-girl kiss
Main girl is pretty cute and pretty genki and pretty awesome and has an amazing hammer.
However, the clear winner of this episode is not any of the named characters, buuuuuut...
Meet Random Passerby Little Girl. She is the most adorable thing. This anime should be scrapped and Toei should make one about her instead.
Hmmm. Relevant to my interests.
I gotta say, at least you know what you like even if it is kinda squicky.
As long as main character is like Yomiko Readman <3
