Yeah you mentioned that problem before. Personally I enjoy shows where all the characters are assholes and I don't sympathize with anyone. If the scenario is serious and compelling, I generally prefer that over a show where everyone is likable. Leave that stuff for comedies and romance stuff. Thrillers and character dramas should be about flawed people trying to outmaneuver everyone else imo.

Space Brothers 23:
Every episode of this show always manages to just feel so good. This episode managed to pack so much content into such a small amount of time. I wasn't really expecting Teshima's storyline to wrap up like this, but I like his scenes in this episode. I just wish there had been a bit more time with him during the previous exam so it had some more meaning.
Serika's scene was also very nice, managing to give some great comedy while also having some good insight into her background.
And I absolutely loved the little kid asking Mutta Claus to get rid of vegetables as his Christmas wish. Such a hilarious scene.

Kenji also making it through was an obvious reveal, but I enjoyed the way it was revealed to Mutta.

what about jojo where everyone is a bro?
Jojo is a superhero comic/cartoon. It's not a thriller nor is it a character drama series.

Jojo's not a cartoon, it's a mantoon.

Now that I think about it, I might want to backtrack on that statement. It's not that I can't get into stuff starring assholes when its character driven + action, I just have to find it compelling. I don't really find anything about Mahiro's relationship with his sister interesting, or pretty much anything that's going on with anyone except for Hakaze.
I assume you're referring to my opinion on Code:Breaker here, so I'll just say the sense of morality being presented in a genuine way is what bothers me at the base of things. I love stuff where every single character is a murdering jerk like Needless or Gamaran; I just don't want the fact that what these people are doing is wrong to be shoved down my throat all the time. Taking place in a different time period or a shitty world generally makes it easier for me to enjoy that kind of stuff, but I can do modern day Japan stuff too depending on how it's presented.

A lot of this episode dealt about

The other part of the episode dealt with
A lot of this episode dealt about
Totsuka and his past with Homra. You can tell that the Red King is going to snap and break out of the jail
The other part of the episode dealt with
Shiro coming to realize he doesn't know who he really is. Kuroh is most likely going to help him and probably protect him till they figure it out.

Yeah, I kind of just did. I suddenly remembered that anime exists and I like watching it.

There are just not enough good things to say about this series. The last 2 episodes in particular have been absolutely great.

Being shown in NicoNico vision is probably why no one cares.

Holy shit, I'm literally speechless.

BONES sure is filling the void of of studio's trolling their own fanbase ever since Gainax pretty much died.http://eurekaao-prj.net/?p=527

Eureka Seven AO has just pulled an amazing scam on the fans actually buying the BD/DVDs. They have changed the episode distribution on the final two volumes such that Vol8 will include ep21-22 and the OVA included in the PS3 game. This means any fan buying the series who bought the PS3 game just for the OVA just got boned. Or is that BONES'd. I really don't know anymore.
Vol9 will include ep23-24 and another 20min bonus feature. They have no confirmed if that will be another OVA episode at this time.
A 15 second PV for the Steins;Gate Fuka Ryōiki no Déjà vu movie that doesn't show much of anything, but still slightly raises hype.

Ah right, the Disney cartoon about vidya gaims.

When it comes to yuri, I'm pro-tier unlike the pretenders here!
Sugar Rush is admittedly a very deep pull. lol
I think we live in an age when Michael Schumacher will be turned into a moe yuri girl who races cares and jumps into the bosom of her kohai soon enough!
Yeah, it's this season's Ebiten. I just find it weird that no one is bothering, since I think some people watched S1 way back when.
Still better than Windows Vista.
So this still doesn't seem to be their Oscar-qualifying theater run for the former, but Gkids is screening From Up on Poppy Hill and A Letter to Momo each for one night only as part of their GKids Animation Showcase in Los Angeles next weekend.
There are different tiers of Cute and how it might be achieved.
I can kind of see what you mean by organic as Chuunibyos cute is more a result of the character personalities and situations than just cute girls doing cute things.
However its still a very calculated cuteness, whereas for example Tonari No Kaibutsu kun would be more organically cute in the sense that the characters just naturally exhibit cuteness without it coming off as pandering.
Man a whole encyclopedia of hnngh could be written on the subject.
Take it to the next level and anthromorphize the car like the guns were in Upotte!!. What love could be purer than between a driver and her car?
It'd have the most killer built-in wallpapers though.
I've seen vehicle-tan fanart on various sites before.
Also surprised there is no train moe show given the popularity of that.

I make this claim on occasion, but I have never meant it as much as I do now.
This is the greatest fucking anime I've ever seen. Holy SHIT

I've always wanted something like Initial D but all the characters are replaced by moe girls with some yuri undertones. Still got the same soundtrack though.
Basically would be anime of the forever.

Its a good one, although Ive seen a lot of great anime.
But JoJo just clicks in a really fun way thats hard to describe.

Alright, it's motherfuckin' Utena time. Can I just watch the last arc straight through, or am I supposed to squeeze the movie in somewhere?
Finish the show then watch the movie.
The movie is standalone.
Its a separate and essential experience.
The ending is one of the most........well words cant describe it very well so just watch it.
Straight through, movie later. (Sooner rather than too much later!)

Jojo 01
Wow. This was really, really terrible. Might be the ugliest show I've watched all year (some of these scenes are just lol wut, the boxing scene and the fountain scene in particular) and this isn't manly, its just stupid. I hope this gets better quickly or it'll be a quick drop. I really enjoyed the Jojo OVA but so far this is just flat out stupid without being enjoyable.
Nice ed though.

What if she's both the driver of the car AND the car itself? lol
The first episode was pretty bad, outside of the sweet ass fight scene. It has been better since then.
This is like Fate/Zero all over again. In the end the world will be divided into those who liked the first episode, and those who didn't. And corpses will litter the battlefield.

I thought the first episode was really good. I'm actually shocked people feel otherwise.

I wish I could shoot hearts out of my butt.
This is seriously the cutest show ever
You can't?
I didn't mind ZnT Episode 1 but I still found the melodrama pouring out of many of the scenes pretty silly. Even the music (while great) felt a bit too bombastic for some scenes that it accompanied. That was a pretty sweet fight scene though.
I gotta say the show has been pretty damn solid even if I can't seem to really care about the main characters for the moment. I haven't seen the latest episode yet though.

The first eps is already as great as possible covering Candy Candy story with overgrowth boy, I'm gloating a lot reading that part on manga. Prop to them can make it that entertaining, still one of my favorite eps. Btw I don't think darkside gonna like this.
