I hate shows with giant robots and I hate GAINAX so, so much.
But Gurren Lagann was awesome. Such a fun show to watch.

If you dropped it at 10, you dropped it RIGHT before the best moment in anime period.

I don't think so. Even on GAF as a whole it was voted the 19th best anime ever even before the show had finished airing: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=173356
Just temporarily change back to the full site in the options.

Ah nope, bailed after the first episode. lol

Jormungand (18) continues to both impress me and disappoint me at the same time. I really wish this was a vehicle for some American action star or something because then it wouldn't have to look so bad at times. At the very least the intrigue and the character arcs are about as interesting as any other spy show on TV at the moment (Hunted, Strike Back, etc).
Late to the avatar battle but just wanted to say, Yuru Yuri fans had this shit locked down before you people thought it was cool!

Sekirei ~Pure Engagement~ 6
And interesting episode that would have been even better if the budget was there. In Musubi's jealous rage she channeled the spirit of Thoraxes and killed a girl. It was pretty cool.
Now I wonder where the show will go from here.
So now the harem's all set. No more Sekirei are left to join it, I think. Unless they just hand wave it and say there are more later on...
Man, she's such a bitch. I love her!

Her power seems like it would be incredibly broken, but she never seems to fight anyone.

Nice Senjougahara avatar. ^_^
Altough I think everyone is of the same opinion on School Days, no one could like that show.

School Days is the Oedipus Rex of anime. Not its fault you cannot appreciate its genius.
I think I was unclear, sorry. You go to the main page, then down at the bottom you have an option to disable the mobile version. On the full site, you have an option to switch to the mobile version.

Someone posted this in the Dragon Ball thread:
digital colouring sucks well, not really, I just don't think it fits the franchise. #getoffmahlawn
Now, I shit a lot on Z, but I cannot deny that everything pre-Namek was amazing. And yes,
One thing DBZ got right from the start was the fighting. It's all awesome as hell (when everyone isn't standing around talking)

I always thought Dragonball franchise had some of the least awesome fights. Compared to other series that have lots of elemental abilities, visual genjutsus, multi tiered deep skill trees, and attacks with large AoE's and combination abilities, Dragonball franchise aws lacking as it was basically just laser beam blasts and punches or kicks and nothing more.
But that's why it was awesome. None of that gimmicky crap, just a bunch of muscled dudes with enough power to slice a planet in half beating the shit out of each other and occasionally throwing giant laser beams when shit gets real. Nothing more needed. I've always enjoyed the fight choreography throughout the series, even as far back as early Dragon Ball.

High energy, good laughs, a decent romantic plot. Sure, it works well enough for me to like it.

Mio. Yes. Hnnng.
While that's true, I meant
a human all alone, with no Cantus in sight to save them. I guess they would just be fodder.
Ultimadrago is the one true Yuko.
Oh this looks interesting
It can't be Gunslinger girl 3. The quality is too good

you can do it if you only buy some stuff and not everything you find cute .. i got 6 of them over 3 years and it was manageable..
So this giant plush was sold out a week after I first saw it and mulled over buying it. For 300 dollars though, I assume it's pretty hefty.
man i want this
Thankfully it's sold out so i don't have to feel guilty over not buying it.

Okay, I'll ask him for Mio.

To cast the net further a field and look at a much, much larger sample size:
On MAL it's rated as the 15th most popular show as voted by 97,144 users
On ANN it's as the 32nd best show and the 20th most popular show.
Based on these two indicators I'd say that the positive opinions of the show are the overwhelming majority with the critics being a very small minority. In that sense, I don't think it's divisive.
ANN and MAL are, of course, both self-selecting data sets because they attract a certain kind of user, however I can't think of any better resources to query when talking about how well received a show is overall.

Okay, then, I'll back off the divisive part then. I guess I haven't talked to the right people or looked in the right places.
Just because Jex made a dumb post doesn't mean you have to try and make a dumber one.

What point are you making? I'm not saying that the popular opinion on a show necessarily correlates to the shows objective quality. I'm just saying that the popular opinion on a show correlates to the popular opinion on a show.
It's a value free judgement.

I should hope that we're all critics here.
I'm not really saying that these people are right, or anything of that nature, just that they're dominant.

Fair enough, I just was under the mistaken impression that more people didn't like it. Personally, I did enjoy it for what it was but it's not my all time favorite or anything.
AnimeGaf doesnt like it and are quite vocal about that fact.
I think the most interesting thing about this forum is how different the mindset is to the average anime fan. Its both good and bad.

I'm not saying that the show wasn't clearly a shoujo in the first episode, but it differentiated itself from the classic genre trappings in a number of ways. From the first episode:
Shizuku, the female lead of the story is a longer who doesn't want to make friends.
Haru, the male lead and obvious love interest is imperfect, and not just in the "he's kind of shy" way, he actual has some pretty serious character flaws although he is of course handsome and academically excellent.
The episode focused really on comedic situations rather than wistful longing.
Haru actually progresses their relationship in this very episode by kissing her.

During the most recent episode we've moved on to -
Haru and Shizuku's relationship is strained and stalling because Shizuku can't confront her true feelings or whatever which leads to -
a classic love trial forming as meek-yet-attractive girl falls for the male lead.

BTOOOM! 3-6
Yeah, I watched four episodes of BTOOOM! in a row when I could be watching a show that's actually good, but what are you gonna do. These episodes managed to keep my attention so I guess they weren't THAT bad, there was some pretty funny stuff, like when
, I laughed out loud on that one. The show really reminds me of Gantz (I hated Gantz), in that it tries too hard to be serious and dark, but it comes off as ridiculous. It's also mostly ugly, but I'm happy Madhouse decided to let their talented animators work on Hunter X Hunter.

I've already got enough shame that whatever level of shame this might add is inconsequential to me.
Have you no shame then?
Bad joke is terribad
There you go. you have the right idea.
Shame just gets in the way of watching fun bad anime.
