Lafiel said:Windy tales was pretty incredible, first series I've seen in a while that genuinely impressed me in every aspect - favorite episodes are probably 3, 5, 11, 12 and 10. But every episode had it's moments.
One of my favourite series, i guess the art style could be divisive but i think its beautiful at times. The first time i saw the last episode i got completely confused though, without getting spoilerish the timeline becomes nonlinear with no prior warning. Anyway if you like slowpaced with a hint of supernatural give it a go!
Koe de Oshigoto - 02
I think I held back a nosebleed at one point.
Not as explicit as the first one, (HA!), but it's pretty much doing what I thought Hen Semi would become, I understand that BD OVA's have different rules, but I only have to point out to Yosuga no frikken Sora for "censorship."

Clearly I've been watching the wrong shows all along!Jexhius said:

Koe de Oshigoto 2
"I can't get it up because I admire the actresses too much!"
Yeah right buddy, whatever you say. I want to say I'm surprised at what did it for him but I'm really not.
So, does no adult in this show have any qualms whatsoever about involving their underage siblings and offspring in this line of work? You'd think it'd at least make for some awkward dinner conversations but everyone's so chill with the older sister making her younger sister so horny to the point she enters some weird dazed sex trance and cums in front of everyone while reciting lines for the game all the while sucking on his classmates finger provocatively. That's professionalism, I suppose.
And I'm not sure I like that Vash the stampede works so well as a total perv.
It's a weird show, this one. Watching it I can't help but feel like it's trying to make a statement of some kind regarding the people behind the voices creepy otaku fap to and the instances of characters saying how much they admire the work and passion that goes into these things and how seiyuus should take pride in the work that they do and are worthy of respect and admiration for doing so lends further credence to that. Then I remember that this is Japan and that, sometimes, a panderbait show about a highschool girl who voices sex crazed, dick starved slutty highschool girls while in an induced sex trance to help out her sister's porn game company is just that. A panderbait show.
So yeah, I've probably given this more thought than I should have.
I just watched the entire first night of Animelo 2010. 4 major points of OMGAWESOMENESS:
1. fripside
2. angela
3. Yuzurenai Negai with Yonekura Chihiro and Tamura Naomi
4. 30K+ PEOPLE SINGING GONG, which once again proves that JAM Project can do no wrong.
Those were the 4 major points, the rest was actually still pretty good. I'm thinking I won't enjoy the 2nd day like I suspect, heck, I've always like the day that JAM Project is on than the one without them. Seriously though, I'm really looking forward to this years if only because this will be the first time JAM Project will be on both days, meaning they'll actually be on the Mizuki Nana day for the first time since the event became 2 days.

I can understand it not being someone's cup of tea, but to call it fairly bad with the justification "everyone else says it is" is kind of weak. Elfen lied is fairly bad. Macross frontier is fairly bad. Fractale isn't perfect, but fairly bad... uhhh okay.
"Similar points being raised"? What point did you make? You just made an empty observation and didn't back it up with anything specific to support your claim. If all you have is neesa appearing then I guess you've never seen shows that segue into the next episode by introducing a new character at the end of the previous one. Happens a lot, especially when dealing with a limited amount of time/episodes. Even though its an obvious segue that could have just as easily been placed outside of the normal bounds of the episode, after credits, it wasn't particularly out of place where it ended up residing.
As to the repeated use of "etchi" I addressed that in my first post about fractale. I think I said something about the anime tropes people critisized one of which (evil white haired guy) wasn't even properly applied. If these are the people (ill-informed) you were using to add legitimacy to your opinion then more power to you. I'll concede (as i said in my first post), yes it's used a lot. And as I said if that is such a big problem then those who would watch it probably should avoid it.
I understand you're not a fan of the show, I was just hoping for a more concrete reasonother than nebulous non specific mantras that you gleaned from some prior discussion.

You know, I do like the ED, it's just so generic and paint-by-numbers compared to the sheer energy that emanates from the OP. The OP actually has a great animation sequence associated with it as well, the ED just has the main female cast looking at the sunset in a generically optimistic matter like a billion other ED animations.

For comparison:
The HaniIro OP animation - This is obviously from episode 2. Starting with episode 3, Jiromaru appears in the scene where they are sweeping on the steps.
The HanaIro ED animation - I do like this song. I have it on my phone, so I'm assuming that means I do like it. I listen to the OP a lot more, though.

I had no idea what 'Animelo' was, so naturally I Googled for it and read the Wikipedia entry. Wait, what? There's an annual anime songs concert now, which has been running since 2005? o.o Where can I stream this shit??
Honey and Clover Last Ep
Great show, made me feel sad. All these sort of shows make me feel like life is too short and I should go do something with it.
The romance did not end like how I expected it to. I'm actually kinda hoping
Anyways, tears all around!
Next show I plan to watch now is Kimi Ga Nozomu Eien!
EDIT:I feel like more Honey and Clover now actually. WTF, why end it like this

that Shuji's love isn't the sort that would make this into a pedo story.

Princess Princess D 1: Finally decided to check out the live action adaptation of Princess Princess and I'm pretty sure I'm not cut out of adaptations of manga/anime. There's just way too much dissonance, considering they try to use anime-like sound effects and physical acting.
I suppose my brain is damaged enough to readily accept the idea that an all boy's school would get guys to dress up as girls in order to please the school population. Other than the dresses being extremely garish (frills and gi-normous platform heels, really?), it seems perfectly reasonable.
I'm reminded of the live action version of Honey and Clover though. Thankfully it's impossible to find a real life Hagu, so they just found a short girl and you had to pretend she was shorter than she was. :lol
(Also, need new episode of AnoHana before I go down an insane rabbit hole)

I think it's more platonic and brotherly than anything else. Like a deep connection to a loved sibling, but that's just how I took it. Anyways, isn't Hagu like 20 years old by the time the 2nd season ends?

I missed this - why would you do this?!?!
That said, other than the epic School Days, I can't think of any super angsty anime love triangles that are worth watching for one reason or another.
Ahahahaha KyoAni you fickle bitch. Can't blame you for saving your energy when the money is still rolling in from K-On!

To be fair maybe none of the entries were really that good though. And the rules did say there was no guarantee of a prize being awarded.

This is pretty awesome:
whereas this is just depressing:
although not altogether unsurprising given that recent move by Toyota.
Oh and Mikoto won the main bonus match if anyone cares about that.
Koe de Oshigoto 2
That girl is going to be in for a rude awakening some time later in life. Condensed milk lol
Also somehow Motoki ends up being the creepiest character in this show, which is amazing considering one of the other characters propositioned a 16-year old high school girl within ten seconds of his introduction.
I'm really not sure how to describe this show.

It all depends on what the judges are looking for. I've seen several piano competitions where the judges haven't given out a grand/1st prize because none of the entrants were up to their standards. I assume the judges at KyoAni thought the same.
InfiniteNine said:
No one else can come close.
Yeah... the manga's better. The show is pure panderbait/stealthporn, while the manga is pure panderbait/stealthporn (not as much on the stealthporn) cut with subtle commentary on otaku perceptions of porn games. I don't even know why I want to watch the next one. Man my curiosity is morbid...Jexhius said:
That's... admittedly part of the fun. Everyone being so blaze about it is just the most perfect thing. It gives it this surrealist edge that kind of shows itself to be a sort of fantasy. Maybe that's why I desire to keep watching... it's an appeasing fantasy that I can properly separate myself from...trejo said:
Anyway, because we all know that Ms. Underaged Ero Star is going to end up with that Mr. Son of a Hardcore Porn CEO, all I could help thinking was that when things get around to it, he's gonna have some damned good sexings with a broad like that.
I'm an awful person, aren't I? D:

Koe de Oshigoto! 1-2
It's a show about voice acting eroge. There's no way I wouldn't love it.
It's pretty funny though, between the "I'd suck my own dick if I could!" guy and the cheesy "Hentai voice work takes such courage!" dork and general routine atmosphere of it all. Add in the fact that the main girl's special ability is working herself into a sex-fueled trance and cumming in front of the whole studio, and oh my god. Show of the season.
