It's totally voluntary. It just preys on people's... stupidity? Vulnerability? I dunno.jman2050 said:

Count me in the group of people who agree that Ohana > all. Ohana absolutely is Mai Waifu.

Hey, it's not my fault you are so flawed and like Ritsu. :3

Let me guess, this is a roundabout way of saying you're a long-suffering Mugi fan?

Which crowd? Azunyan won Japan Saimoe last year, Mio won International Saimoe. I guess you could go with either one there, I don't have anything particular against Mio. It was always funny when Mio thought she could count on Azunyan to side with her on something and instead she always sided with the other girls, much to Mio's consternation.

I love how you somehow knew that posting in the Tera thread was futile but you could get my attention by posting this in the current Animu-GAF thread. :3
So many worthless Azunyan-haters in Animu-GAF. Of course we all know who won Japan Saimoe so you can all keep on hating, because none of you matter. Japan has already spoken and they picked the One True Waifu already.

The full version of Hana no Iro, the OP for Hanasaku Iroha:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2xkPLSn7gU0
This band nano.RIPE is seriously talented and the song itself reminds me so much of the punk rock I listened to when growing up with a bit of ska flavor. I don't know why their lead singer singer feels she needs to rely on the falsetto 'cute voice' gimmick when the band is already so talented. She should just sing with her normal voice, quite frankly. And yes, I <3 this OP. I can't stop listening to it. <3 <3 <3

Let's put a face to that voice, why don't we...Unknown Soldier said:

(thankfully Lantis understands the internet and posts official versions of their bands' music videos online)
I still don't think it's that bad except for the very first line.

Wow, that's so exactly the opposite of the face I would expect with that voice. Mad props to that band for being all-Fender though, except for the drum set obviously.

The only "skewering" I've read in response to my thoughts was disappointment at it not being something it wasn't. Not my fault people had some sort of preconcieved notion what the series was going to be. Once you get past the initial shock that this isn't one of the anime I previously mentioned that glosses over the dark side of things that have an inherent darkside, the tone is pretty consistent. The only time it switches between moods quickly is when neesa is involved, but if the change is jarring or feels inconsistent then I guess you completely missed how everyone was affected by her throughout the series.Jexhius said:
I have a similar impression, because seeing his last shows I've assumed that Yutaka Yamamoto efforts are aimed to interest the viewer at the same level as previous successful works he was involved with, but in the way of making it he has recurred recently to established formulas that only work in a specific and planned context. And that leads to the more obvious attempt of this plan, FRACTALE, that it seems to be the conjunction or pastiche of so many ideas from a probably confused Mr. Yamakan, as he is trying to connect with the audience again, that in my opinion he doesn't give it a much needed focus or clear progression. From all those mixed ideas, some are very clever, but I think a general cohesion is the primary objective in a project like this one.firehawk12 said:
Well, from what I've seen, the Studio Khara (or χαρα) feature seems very complete of interesting information, no?duckroll said:I got this month's Newtype. It's quite disappointing.
And yes, I know why you are disappointed, duckroll, but... "we have to be patient", right?
ARGH!

Haha! Yeah, that's a great one.Steroyd said:
So I just finished Madoka, and wow. Deserved the hype it got. If Hell Girl has a child with Bakemonogatari, then Magical Lyrical Nanoha has a child with Revolutionary Girl Utena. And then those two children have a child. And that child had a child with Higurashi, then you'd have Madoka. ^_^
Anime pulls a nice "School Days" too.
Going to start Umineko later today. Sadistiic stuff. GET HYPE!

Having a preconceived notion of what the series is meant to be (drama/comedy/commentary/fantasy) or whatever is rather different from having a preconceived notion that a series should attempt to set and maintain some kind of tone.Dali said:
Sometimes a show will set a tone which will be followed every episode without fail, in which case it's the tone of the series. At other times, a show might have episodes with different tones, e.g. the comedy episode, the serious episode, the romantic episode.
But when you have a show where the tone flicks between scenes and where there is no attempt at a skilled transition between moods then you have a show with an inconsistent tone.
This causes a problem because the viewer doesn't know how they are supposed to feel about a certain event. If it's light-hearted, then a shoot-out may be fairly wacky, with lots of tomfoolery. If it's serious, then people might get killed. If a show hasn't alerted the viewer to what the tone of the scene is in some fashion then they won't know how to feel when the scene takes place.
Even this is incorrect because the tone fluxuates quite severely in the first episode which is, bad the very end, Nessa free.Dali said:

Final confirmation that Masamune is Hideyoshi's teacher in this episode.
This keeps being light-hearted fun. Hideyoshi being a moron is delightful, as she's whining because of silly stuff ("I'm thirsty, I'm hungry") after setting the traps in motion.
I wouldn't want it any other way.
