I'll have to keep watching then. So far I'm enjoying it because

1) It's pretty
2) The dialogue is weird
3) The Second Coming of Sex Hair

Tweeny Witches is pretty good. I wonder if I'm missing out by listening to the dub, though.
Yes you are. The two most important phrases IN THE UNIVERSE are best experienced in Japanese.

One would argue that they are the basic axioms upon which the universe exists. Without them all would be naught!

It does. As does Panty and Stocking. But they're two completely different styles of humor. It just means that your friend has different tastes than you. dealwithit.gif

And for the record, I enjoy both.

nichijou contains the holy trinity of annoying anime shit for me

If the game spoilers are true, it makes the current direction of this series even worse for me.

*game spoilers*
dissociative identity disorder

Another wasted potential.

Ah ok thats what I was thinking, I meant to watch it a while ago but I wanted to wait for the bluray release instead.

1 - School settings can be well-executed depending on the quality of the show. (it is terribly overused though)

2 - None of the characters in Nichijou could be classified as loli's, being a loli would haft to imply some sexualization of some kind. So far there is absolutely none in nichijou.

3 - Yeah they can be annoying!
 
Yugioh Zexal Ep 1

No no, you have to look below the surface and focus on issues that aren't related to why a show succeeds or fails.

Yeah Im always kind of lacking in the movies department when it comes to anime. Ive seen very few, so theres a number of really great ones I want to watch.

...but yeah, after episode 2 I'd have to agree that the doctor is the worst part about the show.

Their one action sequence per episode is always funny! It's like the Road Runner segment sandwiched between the other boring Looney Tunes stuff.

Ohana is a wholesome kind of moe.

Nichijou is that slightly guilty feeling you get after eating too much candy.

Is You Are Umasou in your backlog =)? Trailer. Teaser.

Hanasaku Iroha.

Has been for awhile, looks fantastic. If for nothing else, I just wanna see some dinos.

Nichijou is nice and all but Iroha is much much better.

Nichijou 1

Meh, kind of okay. Not really crazy enough and pretty boring. I like the dude that has sex with goats and I'm mildly amused by the robot girl, but that's about it. Don't think I'm gonna stick around for more.
Man, perhaps I really wasn't paying attention to that first episode out of boredom, but I don't remember that.

One's slice of life and the other's comedy though...
That's true, but I still think Hanasaku was better at what it was trying to do. The biggest thing Nichijou has going for it is production value, but Hanasaku is far from bad in that area.

I swear sometimes the posts in the anime threads have random shit in them just to check if anyone really reads their posts.

Anime isn't above goat sex, of course.

Yeah, but if you're looking for a "laugh out loud" comedy, HanaIro (is that the official contraction/portmanteau? :p) probably doesn't fit the bill. I suppose one is better at being a slice of life show than the other at being a slice of life comedy though.

I wouldn't know anything about that.

I'm not sure why I bothered to bring that remark up, half a thread later, but it just occurred to me as a rather odd claim.

Why not both at once, you can never have enough moe!
Hanasaku iroha obviously is the show that's worth your time more

Those little bits of exaggeration are just there to spice up the thread. I mean come on whats more interesting, a guy riding a sheep or a guy having sex with a sheep?

Hah, are we talking about Catherine/Katherine now?

Speaking of goat fucking, I decided to look up the NTR fetish and the idea itself is not that surprising. What I don't get is how you make a game based around that? Japanese engineering and ingenuity manages to solve a problem that no one really had.

It's like some video game version of rules 34, 35, and 36 -- there exists a VN for every fetish, and if there isn't one some doujin group will make one. Case in point: Katawa Shoujo.

It's not integral to the plot.

Oh man, I remember that... but Katawa Shoujo isn't meant to be pervy, is it? At least I remember Leigh Alexander being impressed by it or something a while ago.

And I think I don't really understand how you would make a game about other dudes having sex with your girlfriend. :lol
