Probably right about that, it is more about the perception as far as the actual love triangle goes, still could do with out the worn out anime romance tropes.

Akira's character as a whole kind of goes nowhere. She ends up feeling really underused.
Oh ho ho ho, that's where you're wrong sir: Arararararagi's gets his. Her Dad works reallllll lateeeeeee sonnnnnnnn.
I genuinely have no idea what you are talking about.

She's part of the greatest yuri romance in the history of anime.

Huh? What did I say? Did I screw up again? :(
A full-fledged love triangle
Anzu's crawling up big folks animation is one of the most endearing aspects of the show
"What? This ship can warp? Is such a thing even possible?"
"What? The engine can act as a main gun? Is such a thing even possible?"
"Fire the main gun at that flare? Is such a thing even possible?"
No one even wants to know what the ship is capable of ;_;
Again, I get it, they're a mostly ragtag crew of misfits. It's that they have to keep pointing this out that is slightly annoying to me, and that made me say I wouldn't want to go to war with them ever.

Akira does have a character arc, it just finishes when
she reconciles with Melda and by so doing comes to term with the loss of her brother.
maybe if melda actually went to earth.
these are unheard of concepts that were dropped in their lap by aliens. again, i don't know what you expect.
Its interesting that these writers have deliberately chosen to keep the couples separated. Even superhero couples get to spend more time together than this lot.

This is some crazy alien technology that the Yamato has - only a couple people in the entire crew have any experience with Wave Motion Energy - and Okita uses crazy unconventional tactics. The crew's reactions to some of the things he does is only natural. I don't understand your last sentence unless you think everyone should have gone to the Captain as soon as they got on the ship and asked, "Would you please explain to me every detail about how this ship works?"

I haven't watched any of those shows, but the general consensus here is that Attack on Titan and Psycho-Pass are not good, so you should probably drop those from your list.
I think I'd want some details, personally...
I don't know how to put this any plainer than I already have: I understand why they don't know anything; It's the shows need to keep reminding me that has slightly annoyed me.
I'm glad Yamato 2199 has gotten popular enough that we can start arguing about the details of it.
I don't even want to argue ;_;
Now, if someone wants to make an argument that Araragi isn't the ideal boyfriend, I'm willing to fight. The man knows how to please his lady.

On the theory of saving the best for last:
Psycho Pass <== Nothing of value would be lost if you skipped this.
The Devil Is a Part-Timer!
Attack on Titan

The consensus that Attack on Titan is not good is most definitely false. Disappointing for many, maybe, but it is still pretty well-liked outside of a vocal minority, especially for those that haven't read the manga and lapsed anime fans.
All of these are worth watching, though Psycho Pass is pretty hit or miss.
Gurren Lagann takes priority.

Yeah, that was what I was really commenting on. She's hovering around for much of the series seemingly there to wait on a love triangle that never materializes. It'd have been nice for her to have more development after that initial arc.

But seriously, watch Gurren Lagann before seeing any of those. You won't regret it.

Well yeah. I'd marry Hosaka and I'm a straight guy.

Why not when you're up against three decent/mediocre/bad shows against one of the most highly acclaimed anime in recent times?
I still need to remember that kid's book with a guy who does that.
Alcohol for breakfast, lunch for dinner, dinner for brunch. It's the only way to live.

Is it breakfast or dinner if my first meal is at night?
Fixed.
What do you call sausage and eggs on rice?
The alcohol portion of the other two meals is a given.

Yep.
Gurren Lagann. Nothing on that list comes even close to the quality of GL.
I'm still hoping we get a Trigun Maximum adaptation.

I've been out of the Trigun loop forever. If Maximum a retelling or an entirely new series?
Think it's what the manga became after switching publishers. Might be misremembering.

I wouldnt know this but SAO really has a forced harem, its not done in a good way like monogatari where even when the main character has a gf, you like that he also attracts the girls around him
Freezasaurus
Member
I don't know if its any more forced.Well its a forced artificial environment. But its still guy wanders around helps out random girls who then all become attracted to him in one way or another, but he still stays faithful to his 'true love'.
On the plus side at least with SAO all the girls have at least hit puberty. On the downside, one is a cousin (though unknown to be related at the time).

Narag is right. The manga was renamed Trigun Maximum after switching magazines. It was originally a shounen series that only lasted 3 volumes, but then continued as a seinen for 14 more.
