This show sorely lacked Noel, by far its best character. I demand a Noel only OAV episode. Or maybe 3.

"Its not popular because everyone is stupid and don't understand my genius!"
I fucking hate that angle that creators and their defenders use.

Duckroll mentioned entertaining and not quality though. People usually buy games to be entertained I assume?
Well... Unless we're talking about Steam sales and endless backlogs...

Wow I need this Futurecard Buddyfight card.
I have NOT seen Hyouka. I didn't have a means to watch it when it came out, then I just forgot. Did not realize it was that well received :O

Then I guess since Gintama is popular, it's doesn't carry any quality :0
Joking aside in most cases something that's popular doesn't always mean high quality, but there are exceptions though.

This is probably sarcasm, but it's at least worth responding to this since I'm sure there are people who would say this seriously.
That popularity doesn't mean something is good, doesn't also mean that popular things must be bad.
Obviously there are occasions where high quality works are also popular (there are plenty of them, even), but there are also plenty of occasions where shitty works are popular (or where extremely great works go almost unnoticed).
But bringing up 'it's popular/successful' as a defense against criticism is pretty much the weakest possible defense, because popularity has no bearing on quality.

"Hey, were you shocked about what happened in episode 17? I bet you were! To help you relax, here's part one of a special two-parter episode about Kuroyukihime that we'll air immediately after episode 17."
I can only imagine how many people were pissed off at this and the episode after when it was airing. They were straight-up trolling here, haha. At least there was some decent character insight into Kuroyukihime in this episode though.

Like people saying Destiny has 12 OTs?
Shit, you could point to the 30 million or whatever sales of The Dark Side of the Moon as an indication of its quality and it would still be a stupid thing to do. It doesn't matter that its one of the greatest albums ever made, if not the greatest. Sales/popularity are never a valid indicator of quality.
So I finished Love Lab earlier today, and while there were a couple of slow spots, the show is cute, hilarious, and slightly insane. Maki is definitely best girl, loved nearly every moment of her time. Really hoping for a second season, but no idea if it's feasible.

Also, been watching Baka & Test, but had to drop it after episode 6. Pervy, recycled humor, the show just wasn't going anywhere.

Hey Accel World, thanks for having an awesome 2D mecha trasformation sequence only to have the giant robot destroyed mere seconds later. No really, thanks a bunch. -_-
Other than that though, at least next episode seems to be getting back to where the plot was from episode 17.

They've been hinting at some kind of organization in this show a little bit during these past few episodes. Does that plot point end up getting resolved by the end of this show? Or does it get resolved at some point in the light novels? Just curious.
Was Beyond the Boundary considered bad? I watched up to episode 8 today and thought that it was just a pretty show with good production values, didn't seem bad, but not great either. Even got some laughs out of me. Does something happen that makes it bad, or am I just missing something?
it's certainly not good so

It had great character designs, cool action scenes, a dope ending theme but the story was all sorts of stupid and made no sense. It was just a massive waste of time.
Shirobako 4
nononoono I had this post sketched out in my head about how nice it was to get some downtime and how it being rare was likely the point of the first three episodes being so hectic and how the callback to the high school production was great as it was the source of their dreams and then the above happened and I wanted to crawl into a hole.

Idol episode was glorious as was the third episode of the ONA episodes. I thought it was a good anime overall, ending needed a tad bit of work.

In my opinion the dance sequence was the only thing worth watching from that show.

It's about as mediocre as a regular modern KyoAni show.
The dance episode was pretty good though
It's really up to what you want.
Personally, I loved the artbook, design docs, interviews, and plethora of bonus extras that came with the boxset.
If you just want the show in a bluray format, get the individual releases they're doing now.
Yeah the artbook looks legit. Its not a big price difference. Think im gonna pull the trigger...

Yama no Susume is great. And I assume there's room for a S3 given how it ended. With that, at least I watched one single show that aired during this season. lol
Well, depends on how much you like Gurren Lagann! That import set looked... very impressive, to say the least. It's a lot nicer than Aniplex of America's sets for Gurren Lagann, which aren't exactly bad on their own. For the collector, for the absolute Gurren Lagann fan, the import set is the one to go! If you like Gurren Lagann enough to actually buy it, but not enough to spend $500, you could go with Aniplex of America's release.
Of course, for the Gurren Lagann fan in the UK, or the one with the region free BD player, there's the much cheaper BD release there. But if you're willing to pay the money, you can't go wrong with the import set, especially with the exchange rate as it is. Now's the time if any!
I feel like as my time available has diminished my tolerance for merely mediocre shows has correspondingly diminished. Of course, I never really watched mediocre shows anyway, but still... even stuff like Trigger's whatever battle just feels... pointless.
Of course, High School Based stuff reminds me too much of work, so that might be it as well.

Let the glorious voice of Chiaki Omigawa soothe your soul.
Yep. One of the best comedies out there, if not, the best.

Shirobako is a bit too thematically heavy to be a relaxing show.

I admit to being more entertained by shit than actual quality shows at times
Fate/Stay Night UBW - Episode 12
Wow, well that turned everything on its head. I'm somewhat surprised at the shows willingness to seemingly relax some of the rules laid out in F/Z. Caster is an interesting villain. Very excited to see where it goes from here.
I'm surprised how much I enjoyed the first half of the show. There are some issues - the show is certainly at its best when its far away from the school and its associated antics (The date in the first part of this episode was really needless). The main character is also a lot more useless than he should be, kind of annoying to watch tbh.
But yeah in the end, I'm really enjoying it. I like the fact that it takes itself a bit less seriously than F/Z did. One of my favourite anime this year.

I feel like one of the reasons I didn't enjoy UBW as much is that I was expecting another Fate/Zero. The reasons why I liked Fate/Zero was that it was very adult and mature, and when comparing recurring characters such as Saber, UBW feels a lot more laid-back. Still, I enjoyed it and I'm looking forward to see the second cour which will hopefully live up to my expectations a bit more than this first cour did.
I consider Tamako Market to be an underrated gem.
That show wanted to be like -monogatari with characters talking at length about their weird fetishes, but the strength of the writing just wasn't there.
It wasn't really a comment about 'quality', just that there certainly was a good amount of people who found them entertaining. Just as there are lots of people (crazy people imo) who are entertained by Bay films.
I spent the vast majority of the show wishing I could replace glasses girl with the sister in the hierarchy of romantic developments. Or any developments. Am I alone? I don't know, the main female protag just didn't do it for me.

never thought I'd see people hate on Monster. I don't know what real life is anymore.
