I... don't know what these mean. Actually, I've seen Gurren Lagann, and I don't remember any shifts as drastic as this, but that was years ago.
Anyway, has anyone read the novel this show is adapting? I'm curious how closely it's sticking to the source material. Episode 5 felt extremely compressed, much more than the other episodes.
That's kinda how my train of thought went when I looked at the box.
Me too...wait, 3..no wait....what what number are we on now? like 5? I guess it should be no surprise AnimeGAF is drunk on a saturday.
Hrmm. I guess getting it cheap will weaken the burn if I were get it. There really isn't much else ther other than late volumes of Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood and DBZ. There's something Gunslinger Girl related there, what about that?
Sweet lord.
It has to do with if you like those things you'll like the show.

Goes well with SAO.
It would help if someone ever made an actual argument about why those episodes were good, instead of just parroting "it's clearly too subtle for you", "you're missing the point", etc, ad nauseum. But I don't see that ever happening.
I did this yesterday and the day before. And probably at least three times a week.
Strike Witches is one of my favorite shows, but Shangri-La was kind of meh; didn't wind up finishing it.
No you didn't
How do you think I made it so far. Booze and the promise of a little sister.
Everyone is free to look up my post history.
But then pizzaroll might have to actually back up one of his statements.

Trust Branduil. He's an expert on this topic.
Bueno. I'd like to give the VNs a shot, but having to go through 500 hours of harem antics to get to the "goods" makes me leery.
I do that all the same. Sorry to hear you have memory issues though. That's a tragedy.
No you didn't

When Hyouka aired people were writing lots of lengthy impressions and discussion.
And now a straw man.
More like 10, its was worth it too.

Speaking of bounce.
Best startup to any shounen move.
So...

Watching Shangri La at the moment ~5 eps into it and it has been enjoyable thus far.
I like dystopian worlds and stories where the main characters are outsiders.
It has an interesting setup, with humanity trying to survive after a climate catastrophe in which carbon output is now heavily taxed and regulated. There is a large city built to house survivors but getting into it is literally a lottery chance.
And in that same vein, people have written plenty about why Hyouka failed to impress.
Hidamari Sketch x SP2 END
I kinda wan't a Hidamari themed fighting game after this but then there'd be an awfully large increase of Wideface on Wideface violence... I need to think about this.

My Little Monster, Girls und Panzer, Code:Breaker, Medaka Box Abnormal and Hidamari Sketch are pretty much the other stand-out shows of the season.
You and Thoraxes like.. write 2 line at most. Like me.
I don't count myself among "people", else I'd say "I"
Stand-out good or stand-out bad?
Written plenty of descriptions that are not actual criticism.
And silly little jabs every time someone mentions the show.
I see you're in fantasy land again
Actually, silly little jabs is what you do, every time someone says something less than adulatory about any one of your chosen shows
It's not his fault you're a bad writer. Sorry.
I know my writing is bad, no need to remind me
I didn't write about it in my show impressions, but I definitely did in response to other people's posts when asking for an opinion about it.
No, I don't do "hahaha its a BORING and SLEEP INDUCING! hyouka?? more like NYQUIL!!" every time somebody doesn't like a show I think is great.
I do question them though, no denying that.
Obviously you aren't going to complain about something you like... but making comments just as vapid? Those make up practically half your posts
This does such an excellent job questioning Maedhros's complaints I am amazed as to how a mere mortal such as yourself could have come up with it
Don't do this.
Maybe he's a bad writer too. You shouldn't be so harsh.

Sweet Envelope and Hella Thoraxes? I would read this.
It's a wonderful show, but it's pretty much made for longtime fans. The first couple eps especially rely on already being very familiar with the characters.
It's nice that there's a steady enough fanbase to do this, but I honestly wouldn't pick it as a jumping-in point. The R1 DVDs of the first three seasons are very reasonably priced, though, if you're willing to go back!
So now you change the aspect of my posts you are criticizing... only to call out an obvious joke. Bad job, so no cigar.
It's onto the fights now so it's all uphill from here!The only thing that stands out in Medaka Box is Medaka's boobs.
The former, obviously. They're all pretty entertaining (although I am listing Medaka on the upcoming fights and if episode 4's an example of what's to come then it's gonna own).
Well yeah, it's best to start off from the beginning but I kinda view it as one big never-ending series. :>
I feel like I've heard this before... more than once.
I found Hyouka's Festival arc to be enjoyable due to the uncharacteristically natural way they handled the character interactions. I really liked how every character was off doing their own thing and acting like, you know, real people would during a school-wide activity, as opposed to wasting their time clinging to Oreki curious about some stupid ass shit that happened once, or wondering why the fuck they were mad about something the other day. I also liked the way the arc's shitty mystery was weaved into the background without interfering much with the overall narrative and as such, I quickly started losing interest once it was unavoidably brought into the forefront during the latter episodes.
I stand by my opinion that the festival arc, by virtue of the more energetic yet laidback feel that permeated through most of it, was a great respite from the show's usual formula of having the generally vacuous cast of characters illogically giving far too much importance to completely trivial "mysteries" and wasting their time on crap no one with actual shit to do would ever give two fucks about.

People have said more than just "it's boring." The banality, the pacing, the characters -- these are all things that I've seen criticized here.
Just wait for the genre shift bro!!
Teenagers waste time on meaningless crap all the time.
