Marimite is serialized in Cobalt which, according to wiki, was originally aimed towards young girls (thus shoujo). Although recently its readerbase trends more older and the male readership is increasing.

I'm still confused. Did he get banned or something? Or did he just have his avatar taken away?

So, what's big that's left to still air? Both noitaminA shows, the other Rie Kugimiya one, TWGOK 2, Denpa Onna, and Deadman, right?

I'm pretty sure i saw a quick shot of that in one of the trailers
Since they referenced him in the latest episode, I'm pretty sure they are going find a way of making him appear later in the series!

Love Hina 20-24 - Yup, I still like the show. It feels incomplete without Again and the movies, though, I'll have to watch those again too now... (Darn you Mutsume, trying to use Keitaro's feelings for "whoever it was" he made the promise with to get him to be with you, even though you knew that it was actually Naru he'd made the promise with... I know she knew that if he knew the truth he'd stay with Naru, but it doesn't make you look good for sure.)
Also, is there some symmetry between the ending of the TV series, where the girls (Mutsumi excepted of course) work together to get Keitaro to come back, and the end of Love Hina Again, when he confronts each of them before solidifying his relationship with Naru a little more... maybe, but I'd need to watch the Again part again to be sure.
It would be awesome if this actually leads to us getting search back though, if it's one or the other I'd choose search every time... that I've been wanting back ever since it vanished. It would be great if this allows for a reduced enough server load to allow it to return.

It's not that bad really.mAcOdIn said:
Nichijou is the only show this season with a legitimate chance of being anything memorable and beyond the okay but quite average stuff that makes up most of the season's lineup. Dog Days is vapidly amusing, but Nichijou is vastly superior.
Hah, but I regularly end up writing long quote-filled posts, and not just on this forum... but yeah to keep it going you do need someone else also willing to write posts as long.
I thought some things were funny, even if overall it certainly wasn't anything special, but yeah, on that last point it is odd... I can't think of anything that causes them to censor some and not others. Is there some per-episode quota they have to stay under or something?pieatorium said:
:lol (and the other smilies), animated avatars, I think it's well proven that those decisions are made because they're what EviLore prefers. He's in charge so it's his decision, but banning people over criticizing it? Did that "." post originally contain something worse than it does now, or something?Geneijin said:

Hmm, I'm not sure what I think, I don't know anything about the story to this one... is it good? Looks like it has a lot of action, and an eyepatch girl is one of the main characters... bah. Not sure how interested I am.Geneijin said:
Oh, alright. Good to know some other people do like Gosick.tiff said:
Both have good world building. I will say, though, again probably, that GRRM's feels more authentically medieval than Jordan's, or than most fantasy's, and that is something I really like about his work. But Jordan's world is large and very well thought out, everything is well explained. I find Jordan's books very easy to read, I always read through them much quicker than their size would suggest... also, just because GRRM's work is darker and more depressing doesn't mean that it's better. Darker and better are separate categories, I don't think he's a better writer just because he's so willing to kill off major characters.zeroshiki said:
There's worse, just look at what I watched last season... but hey, I didn't say it was bad. Just that I'm not sure that Hanasaku Iroha's my thing. Maybe I'll try it again, not sure.
Yeah, that "just switch l's and r's" stuff is kind of annoying, sure it sort of appears to sound that way, but it's not accurate.
A Black Falcon said:
Hanasaku Iroha -_-
You're right. GRRM writes worlds that are quite a bit less fantastical than most fantasy. That's what I love about his stuff though. The ability to make everything feel so consistent and so logical that I actually have to think deeper and analyze a character's motivations to figure out what and why they were doing stuff. There's no "the wizard did it" in GRRM's world.
I tried reading Malazan after a massive ASOIAF marathon and I couldn't get through 1/4 of the book. Having wizards and stuff just throwing fireballs at each other just felt hokey to me.
You could give it the ole 3 episode try. Then again, I'm not sure how you'd come to like it if the first didn't appeal to you. I get the appeal of watching vapid actively bad shows versus just something harmless, I guess.

Just saw Hanasaku Iroha episode one this morning. Doesn't do anything new, but I kind of enjoyed it anyway. I think I'll keep watching.
It IS that bad. I wouldn't mind if after every episode they showed something new or if there was nothing after every episode and I wouldn't mind if there was always a recap with nothing new before an episode or no recap at all but it's the inconsistency of it all that kills me. And again look at Laste Exile, there was 20 plus episodes to that series, if there were no recaps you'd have the equivalent of an entire 'nother episode to play with time wise, they could have made the ending make sense or something, instead they waste their time for recaps for people who find the series complicated or some shit.A Black Falcon said:
Oh heaven's no. First, Hanasaku Iroha shits all over Nichijou, second what is Nichijou if not also vapidly amusing, assuming one finds it amusing? We're not going to say it's intelligent humor are we? But best shot at being essentially the show of the season? Not a snowball's chance in hell that's true, it's already been bested and there's still other stuff coming that's more promising.A Black Falcon said:
Man, the way you threw that out there is like you just admitted you cheated on GAF. How could you post on other forums?A Black Falcon said:

Yeah, not for me. Glad everyone else is enjoying it though.

Nah, my tsun phase would be more hostile toward the show and the people liking it. But I'm a cute genki girl, so there's no need for hostility.

Nope. The punctuation was saying "this" was what he was referring to.
No clue. It's a trailer and hasn't been released yet.
I rather Planetarian or Tomoyo After get an anime adaptation before anything else really.

Hanasaku Iroha
Just watched the first episode. I love how it looks, it's so visually appealing and the colours are beautiful. The characters are introduced well and nicely complex.
I do want to watch Spirited Away now though, I can imagine this happening every week.

Nichijou 02 - Not quite as good as the previous two, probably (OVA or ep. 1) but still there was some pretty good stuff here... this is definitely a funny show, and not entirely predictable either. It does some original things, which is part of what I was talking about when saying how good it is.
... When is this set anyway, though? In this episode we saw a Famicom and a Virtual Boy, for instance, and there was a joke about long Famicom password saves...
Also, the Nano and Professor parts are pretty good. In each one so far they've been among the better parts of the episodes. This one was weird (the professor having food hidden in parts of Nano's body), but amusing...
Hanasaku Iroha 01 - Fine, fine, I went back and finished the first episode. I can see why people are calling it good, sure, but it's just not really my thing... they treat her horribly (I don't like watching that) and she respons by ... working at it harder?
GRRM obviously does that, but you certainly can have that in a system with more magic too. It depends on the skill of the author...
I don't know Malazan though.
(Oh, and to be clear, I think ASoIaF is great. But I like The Wheel of Time more, and probably Tad Williams' books too. Maybe others, not sure... but GRRM's definitely a top-tier fantasy author no question.)

For people who like it, perhaps, at least it might be better than most of the rest of the shows this season anyway, in terms of overall quality at least if not in terms of how much I want to watch them. But Nichijou's my favorite one so far.zeroshiki said:
"The wizard did it" with no explanation is not a good plot device, but explaining exactly how your world's magic system works, and then consistently following those rules, is. That's really what I want to see, internal consistency within the world. Don't just make stuff up as you go along, come up with a system and follow it.
GRRM obviously does that, but you certainly can have that in a system with more magic too. It depends on the skill of the author...
Bah, fireballs are fun. What's the point of having a fantasy world if you're using almost no fantasy elements? GRRM could have done it without the fantasy elements and so far it'd be just about as good really... I know there have been a few things (whatever's north of the wall, some undead, dragons), but not much.
I don't know Malazan though.

Well, I was thinking it was alright until we met the evil grandmother,

What, once one starts posting on GAF you're supposed to stop posting on all other forums? Sorry, no.
All right, I see what it was referring to now. Still, seems like a somewhat weak thing to ban over. I know that happens here though, quick bans.Geneijin said:
It just looks somewhat generic for Key, hopefully it's more interesting than it seems.
He's practically calling Evillore a selfish bastard/forum dictator, given how Gaf moderating generally works, this is one of the stronger reasons for a ban.
Azazel san - 1
I was wondering for the longest of times why Azezal was labelled a sex comedy, turns out I must have watched the OVA, I'm grateful it's only half an episode long, too much stuff to keep up with. @_@
