Still more shows from this season that I need to check out in addition to those, too. Damn @ this season.

Dororon Enma-kun Meramera 3:


I don't know if I can even put that into words. I'm so glad we have this show. It's like a non-stop party in my pants.

 

[flawfuls]

Not enough people watching Hyouge Mono. It's an interesting and very unique show.

 

[InfiniteNine]

Not enough people watching Hyouge Mono. It's an interesting and very unique show.

It's on the list to check out! I've actually been playing more games than watching anime right now so pretty low watching time because of that. I'm also going to start playing Phantasy Star Online Blue Burst with GAF so I expect that to eat up time in the long term.

 

[A Black Falcon]

Softenni 02 - Losing no time reminding us why this show exists, are they... is there even more fanservice in this episode than the first one? Plus, this episode, lots of "girls x tennis teacher" suggesting, just great! Make it go away. The censoring's pretty random too, a few pantyshots are censored while plenty of others aren't. Odd. This show's pretty bad, doubt I'll be watching for much longer (might drop it now). Even just finishing this episode was a chore.

I didn't know that soft tennis was a real thing in Japan, though. Huh.


As for a ranking, I already did one a few pages ago, but eh, why not again, people didn't really seem to notice. Plus I can add AnoHana to it, and drop Softenni down a category.

Oh, I'm planning on watching ep. 1 of Hyuge Mono soon.

(good)
1. AnoHana
2. Nichijou
3. Gosick (it's 24-26 episodes, so it can count I think...)
(medium, will see)
4. Hanasaku Iroha
5. Dog Days
(definitely poor so far)
6. Softenni
7. Hen Zemi (the OVAs are quite a bit better than TV ep. 1)
8. A-Channel
(worst)
9. Sengoku Otome (Battle Maidens: Time Paradox)

Movies/OVAs
1. Nichijou OVA
2. Evangelion 2.22 (sorry, I have to punish it for what it does to Asuka...)
4. Hen Zemi OVAs 1-2 (2 is probably better than 1)
5. Bakatest OVAs 1-2 (the first one would go above #4, maybe, the second well below it)

Lol, wrong again!

If we are opposites, then you should really like football, the sport I dislike by far the most of the major team sports. It's such an incredibly stupid sport...

Everything has some fans, everything.

Somewhere, yes, but not necessarily other ones that post in GAF anime threads.

Oh I can tell.

As if the first one's actually any different in quality or something? Hah.

But then you also have to take into account that for some shows part of the enjoyment is from watching it at the same time as everyone else, going back and watching an older show alone loses that feeling. So like in Kannagi we all had fun with "It's a Sony," but someone watching it for the first time would still find it mildly amusing but wouldn't really get to take part in the image spamming on this forum or elsewhere for that matter. In Taisho Yakyuu Musume we all had fun posting Koume's little song and dance from the first episode, that's no longer going to happen as much. So for a lot of shows that walk the decent line a large part of their enjoyment is directly tied to everyone else seeing it at roughly the same time, it's a group thing. So it's not so much that I left them off because I thought watching them now is harder than it was then but because without that group experience I didn't think they were as good.

So with how I rank things, worth buying and worth going back and watching alone are more or less the same thing.

That's exactly the kind of reasoning I was arguing against, I think... what matters most is how good it was when you saw it. "Will I watch it again", etc, that's a different issue.

On the question of watching shows because of GAF though, usually I watch things because I;m interested, not just because a bunch of people are watching it. I do have to admit some exceptions though, most recently IS... I'm not so sure I'd have watched the whole stupid thing if not for bashing it constantly on GAF.

Yo.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_tennis

Tennis has never interested me much one way or the other. There are some decent tennis videogames, though. The same is true for volleyball.

Baseball is the best, but Golf is pretty awesome, too.

Watching golf, golf videogames, either way golf is mind-numbingly boring.

Excuse me, I think you mean Starcraft!

Okay, I'll give you that one. Starcraft as a sport is pretty awesome. The game is my favorite game ever though, so I'm biased.

As for sports though I don't watch sports that much, but apart from sometimes watching baseball, I do watch the Olympics when they're on, too. I mostly though was comparing baseball to the other major team sports, basketball, football, soccer, and hockey. Baseball is best by far in my opinion, football worst.

Bamboo Blade. It's fencing, but better.

Bamboo Blade was pretty good, yeah. One of my favorite shows that year, as my list showed.

Heresy. There's little more thrilling than Sunday during a major tournament. Sunday at the Masters this year was one of the most exciting things I can remember watching in the last five to six years.

Koe de Oshigoto! OAV 1
Did... did I just get bait-and-switched with porn? I mean, Jesus, this is terrifying to watch this poor girl get sucked (oh God, the puns I can make) into a world she ill understands and should really learn about on her own. I DO love how wooden the friend characters are though. Also that writer guy who's known Kanna since she was born really creeped me the fuck out, like serial rapist creepy. The whole thing just made me feel uncomfortable, and not just in my pants...

 

[mAcOdIn]

If we are opposites, then you should really like football, the sport I dislike by far the most of the major team sports. It's such an incredibly stupid sport...

I'm old, I only like racquetball now. Truthfully, I won't really watch any sport although, as with any group activity they can be fun to varying degrees, but watch other people play them, fuck no.

Somewhere, yes, but not necessarily other ones that post in GAF anime threads.

But you're that fan!

As if the first one's actually any different in quality or something? Hah.

Shut up!

That's exactly the kind of reasoning I was arguing against, I think... what matters most is how good it was when you saw it. "Will I watch it again", etc, that's a different issue.

On the question of watching shows because of GAF though, usually I watch things because I;m interested, not just because a bunch of people are watching it. I do have to admit some exceptions though, most recently IS... I'm not so sure I'd have watched the whole stupid thing if not for bashing it constantly on GAF.

But it really is true though, you can wish it weren't but half the fun of these shows is watching them, sorta, with other people, watching their melt downs, living their triumphs, stating your favorites, ranking your shows, it's like meta-tv.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As for my list,

I'll probably finish all of these:
AnoHana
Hanasaku Iroha
Denpa Onna ta Seishun Otoko
Maria Holic Alive
Dororon Enma-kun Meramera

At some point I plan to check out:
Tiger and Bunny
Blue Exorcist

I couldn't get through the first episode of C, I'll try again later just because of it's pedigree but it's looking grim for that show.

So, you were still uncomfortable there too, right? Or did the creator come over and shove you into the back of a Volkswagen?

How can anyone not like her, ever?

I-I can't breath! GAHAHAHAHAHA!

 

[firehawk12]

?

Jesus Christ, that's fucking obscure. :lol

My (joke) list includes A Game of Thrones and Treme. I think my expectations of both shows change completely if I pretend they are animated by Japanese people. I mean, all those insert songs on Treme are there just to sell character singles down the line.

 

[A Black Falcon]

Hen Zemi TV 02 - Bad and somewhat creepy, this is pretty bad compared to the OVAs. They're keeping it up with the gross stuff, and I don't want to watch that.

 

[mAcOdIn]

I really need to watch that movie again, lol. Kevin Smith was so cool all the way up to Chasing Amy, it was all down hill from there.

 

[firehawk12]

Oh man, the PV for Hyadain's OP song for Nichijou:

Still can't believe he does the female voices as well.

You can't say that until you decide who makes those shows. A Game of Thrones is obviously another Madhouse adaptation, but I don't know who worked on Treme. Although Treme is obviously airing in the noitaminA slot.

 

[firehawk12]

I was talking to icarus about this; both AGoT and Treme are in the noitanimA slot. One's the fantasy show and the other is the slice of life show.

AGoT makes sense as a Madhouse production. I'd like to think Treme is a KyoAni or maybe a Production IG or at worst a JC Staff show.
Baptiste is so moe though. I'd love a figma of him playing his bone.

If it weren't for AnoHana, Nichijou's OP for both song and video would be my most favorite this season.

 

[firehawk12]

If it weren't for AnoHana, Nichijou's OP for both song and video would be my most favorite this season.

I like the ED better, but probably because it's so yellow-mellow.

 

[Geneijin]

I like the ED better, but probably because it's so yellow-mellow.

Which ED? As much as I like the cover to Kimi ga Kureta Mono, I'd take Nichijou's ED over AnoHana's in terms of song and video.

 

[firehawk12]

Which ED? As much as I like the cover to Kimi ga Kureta Mono, I'd take Nichijou's ED over AnoHana's in terms of song and video.

Ah, sorry, I meant Nichijou's ED. I don't think I've even listened to AnoHana's ED. :lol

 

[hellclerk]

If it weren't for AnoHana, Nichijou's OP for both song and video would be my most favorite this season.

Best OP for me this season is Denpa Onna's by a good deal. It really ended up growing on me and I really like the composition. Maybe I'm just hipster like that.

Nichijou is a solid second though, Enma-kun is third for that awesome guitar effect they have going, and while I don't really like the vocals, Hanasaku Iroha has some pretty solid music behind it for honorable mention.

 

[duckroll]

 

[InfiniteNine]

Sexy~!

 

[Articalys]

I like a lot of the OPs so far this season, frontrunners including AnoHana, Denpa, TWGOK, and Deadman Wonderland (the last two using some great English).

And you can't forget the Sket Dance ED by the pillows:

Yeah you did unless you skipped it.

Oh definitely but the vocals weigh it down so much.

Another favorite of mine this season is the OP to 30-sai no Hoken Taiiku as much as I don't like the anime. Probably 3rd for me.

http://i.imgur.com/gvP3h.jpg

Strongest Tsubasa (Bakemonogatari) /Nina (Code Geass) vibes I've gotten from her design yet.

 

[Articalys]

And which show is this from again?

 

[JKTrix]

Clamp/Production I.G.'s "Blood-C"

 

[Nonoriri]

And which show is this from again?

Blood-C

 

[Instro]

Hm yeah I like the art for Blood C so far.

 

[Articalys]

And this is related to Blood+ then? Never saw that show, though I've heard of it.

 

[firehawk12]

Reminded me of her for some reason:

Yeah you did unless you skipped it.

Totally forgot about that!

Eh, it's pleasant enough, it just reminds me too much of something like a VN's opening or something. Too bland for my general taste...

 

[Geneijin]

Ore-tachi Tsubasa - 4
At least foreshadow the game plot. How blatant :lol

 

[Jex]

There are practically no stand-out OP's this season. Hanasaka Iroha would have been without those awful vocals.

 

[Nonoriri]

There are practically no stand-out OP's this season. Hanasaka Iroha would have been without those awful vocals.

I dunno I like the Nichijou OP, it kinda looks neat. But yeah the vocals on the Iroha OP are so bad, especially the very beginning.

 

[Lafiel]

Late to the party (since i was out for most of the day) but my rankings for the season.

1. Hanasaku iroha
2. Dororon enma-kun
3. Anohana
4. X-men
5. Nichijou
6. Tiger and bunny

x. [C] The Money of Soul and Possibility Control (undecided on it's quality but will keep watching)

Dropped

Steins;gate

Still need to watch - Moshidora, Showa monogatari, denpa, hyuga mono.

 

[Shouta]

I have this sudden feeling Sakura and Shaoran will show up along with their other-dimensional selves and then the entire thing will remain unfinished except made into a movie where it ends with a someone cradling a head.

Also, been loving Tiger and Bunny, the show is totally my pace.
