Why else wouldn't we be here? My point was along the lines that you are quick to dismiss whatever critique someone may have of a show just because you found enjoyment out of it. While I commend the spirit of liking what you like in lieu of someone else's opinion, that kind of behaviour doesn't help discussion.
I remember liking that show far more than it probably deserved. Great soundtrack too.
Since Elfin Lied was being discussed earlier, is it good? The poster cajunator posted was pretty creepy, though I've seen it a few times now in the Netflix queue.
Man, I have a metric shitton of anime to watch. Most of my spare time lately goes to the mega-super-ultra awesome Persona 4 Golden. Maybe I'll go on a super anime binge when the semester is out. Take that, productivity!

Yeah, that's what I remember too. The problem was the time they aired it... around 01:00~01:30 AM. And I had school in the morning, so... =/
Again, what I said did not kill discussion, I was only commenting on what I thought of the show. If he doesnt like it because of a drop in quality, thats fine. I love the show enough to put it in my top ten of all time. I think Karuta is fascinating in its simplicity yet there is so much startegy involved. And the characters in Karuta were well developed considering the type of show it was. Its a long series so I dont mind a drop in quality because I was enjoying what was there to the fullest extent. I will watch Deen quality if its enjoyable enough.

North America's one is almost like a totally different thing.
Elfen Lied is decent.
Its not groundbreaking or amazing, but its worth watching. what kind of show are you expecting out of it because that will give us a good idea of if you might enjoy it or not.
Nope.
Yeah it depends on how big someone's fetish for retarded girls who wet themselves is.

That can't be... I know! That man must be deceiving her! He's led her to believe he's Ronaldo-sama! That is right! I cannot accept this!I should get around to watching this show again. Not sure why I stopped watching it at around like episode 10 or whatever it was lol.
But what the hell is up with that gif
Don't tell me this was a lie. It was like the #1 reason I liked her! Her love for Ronaldo-sama, the greatest player on this planet was so strong and true. I can't believe that gif, I refuse to accept it.

I would say watch Sora no Woto. Same director, better story!
all the more reason not to shit up the theard with needless spam
The poster gave the impression that it's rather violent and creepy, though you did mention that they increased the blood on the American poster. So... something like that I suppose? I'm not in any real hurry to watch anything now, as I said my free time is mostly used up at this point, and I really don't have all that much free time at all right now.
Edit: Just saw Branduil's post. Is that, um, accurate? Sounds pretty fucked up.

Elfen Lied has nudity and blood. Not necessarily a good thing.
Watched the first couple of episodes of it. No non-porn anime has offended me on such a visceral level as Elfen Lied. Garbage.
There are like five gifable scenes in all of SAO!
Oh, yeah.
I LOVE WAR!
If she was a he, where would this angst be? Would its weight be forgotten, and fall from the tree?

It's the reason I stopped dropping by.
You're far more likely to run into people talking about Persona 4 than any KyoAni show that isn't K-ON!
And you've probably shown up more often since that show started airing than you did before it did...
Brazil.
You must be from here too, since I've saw some of your Precure pictures with PT-BR subtitles.
Actually, this might be an even better idea.
Especially because you hear gorgeous music (which youtube has deleted because they are fucking nazis)

That's what makes him great really, he's
just like "I want to see the world burn" kind of guy
Good job watching the OVAs. I'll probably do a run through again when the last one comes out in December.
I wouldn't just say no, I'd say it's a hell no, never, act like it never existed.
And yeah, don't be afraid to ask for opinions here. I do it all the time. Place is a good sounding board.
Nah, that's what we're here for, it beats Kayos ranting about SAO, SDBurton ranting about flower gardens, and Novid ranting, at any rate.
Anyways, just be sure to ignore anyone who recommends you watch School Days.
Don't ignore us, become one of us. It's a necessary rite of passage.
Well it does try very hard for shock value and can get fairly gorey. However it is also about a group of young girls in a race called diclonius who are given a power to kill, so they must be locked up. But they still have a human side, as Lucy demonstrates on occasion (as well as others). Its really not that offensive, but more just going for shock value with various results depending on the person. Didnt shock me at all. The show is pretty uneven with pacing and story, with several plotholes and improbabilities, but I would say its worth a watch if you do want something bloody and creepy. Yes the girls are fully nude, but its really not sexualized. Its more like they are monsters and treated as such. They are still young girls though so it kind of makes you feel bad for what they go through. I recall the show being fairly well received when it came out.
Little late on that one.
Already watched School Days, more out of morbid curiosity than anybody here telling me to. Though they did tell me to keep going after Ep.1, but frankly, once you're in the School Days abyss it's nearly impossible to escape.
One of us, one of us, one of us
Yes that actually happens in the show among other exploitations of young and naked girls.

Close.
Mexico. Which doesn't preclude me from watching Precure in português.
I like crying girls in anime. Its kind of cute. Im not that sadistic.
I dont think so anyway.
They dont exploit young naked girls in elfen Lied though. It is never sexualized at all.

I don't know about the show, but I have the manga on my bookshelf and I can assure you that's not the case.
Well, we all know the reason why people are watching School Days instead.
Hmmm, do I smell another challenge? I have a break coming up.........may have to give that a shot.
From what I watched. Yes, yes it totally is. It's awful and disturbing as hell, and not in a way with any artistic merit.

Asks questions so Ezalc doesn't have to
This was almost my EXACT impression about the show as a whole.
