yea
one piece is clearly for little girls

Well.... While it is syounen, I find that it has a much stronger female following, most of my Japanese female friends read it, while most of my guy friends read Bleach. In fact, I believe OnePiece has a stronger female following than most syoujyo/jyosei.

You clearly have not very many Japanese friends.
 
I think I never did a review of Battle Girls 04 (I posted one of 05 earlier), so here one is.

Battle Girls 04 - More moderately entertaining stuff, in a show that doesn't exactly take itself (or its subject) very seriously. :) So two characters are fighting an endless series of duels that they always draw. Nobunaga wants their armor of course, so after quite a while of watching their absurdity she intervenes and crushes them both. One demands death before dishonor, but the other intervenes to save her, proving Hideyoshi's point that they actually were friends and not enemies right. Nobunaga decides to spare them both. This is a pretty nice Nobunaga compared to the historical one. Okay episode, if nothing special.

The Killing is an AMC murder mystery series.
Ah. Haven't heard of it. The picture does work on its own reasonably well, though.

Eh, they are mostly Toukyouites, so their taste is always questionable. ;)

Edit: Actually I think it would be better to say that my guy friends probably read both.

OP is the best selling manga ever. Everyone reads it.

Also, you're doing it wrong. If you want to be pedantic, its Toukyou.

And I bet Halo has a bigger female following than most video games aimed at girls.

When we're talking about a super best seller like OP, you don't get just one demographic following it.

My least favourite episode so far. The two long weird segments in the first half were not very funny and the second half was all robo girl and all terrible. The alternate version of the song for the ED was nice though.

my point was that "pretty" is very much a social standard, and most of society would not find guys dressing up as girls to be pretty

either way its done

I thought the first part was great, like it was a parody of the climax of a Ghibli movie plot or something. Teachers skit was good too, but yeah the second half was crap. Loved the eyecatches as usual.
More anime songs need acapella versions.

Bakemonogatari 1 - 15

really lttp but i kept seeing it mentioned around. this was probably not a good idea to marathon this anime under the course of half a day. :|

buuuut yeah definitely not what I was expecting. after the second episode i got used to the whole setup. i enjoyed it though and it had some good moments. it was interesting to say the least lol.
 
I probably watched it wrong, but the only scenes I enjoyed is the scenes with Senjougahara. I don't care for the Main, he's the typical White Knight in harem series.

Really? I thought the opening was fucking awesome and it had such a great payoff that made it all worth it.

But then again, the last segment of the episode with the jar was hilarious to me, so who knows. (Such a beautiful troll ending... poor Yuko!)

Then why bring it up?

If you're going to voice an opinion in the manner you do you're going to have to do more than pull the freedom of speech card then walk away.

Someone needs to watch some Guy or Girl episodes of Jerry Springer.

Someone needs to expand that opening segment on the airship into a full-length narrative.

Poor Yuko. She never catches a break.

That KyoAni can decide to make the ED of this episode a remixed near-acapella version for no reason is the reason I love this show.

That is how I felt too. I've been spoiled by Gintama doing similar kinds of segments and putting more effort into them.

I thought KyoAni put a pretty good amount of effort into the segment such as it was; they just didn't decide to take the whole episode and flesh it out. Which is fine for the structure of the show. It just opens up tantalizing possibilities...

And I really, really need to watch Gintama.

If your name is Nonoriri you have to go buy Nanami's tampons.

Toriko, Ao no Exorcist and maybe Deadman Wonderland if you want shounen action.
Dororon Enma Kun and Kaiji if you want pure manliness.
Tiger & Bunny and X-men if you want good super hero shows.
Nichijou, Sket Dance and Gintama if you want comedy.
Iroha and Anohana if you want drama (maybe Denpa Onna as well).

This season has a lot of stuff.

The only show worth watching.

You realize you've got a Chopper avatar, right?

If you're not gonna defend your point, just don't respond.

If you don't want the discussion to go any further, just don't respond at all. I've warned you about this before.

Maybe the awkward connection she formed with Yukiatsu at the end of the episode can be the start of healthy relationships for both of them.
Healthy, normal relationships are dull, so I hope not!

Only just this week did I notice this was up there. It looks so out of place with all the modern titles.

He's a thinly disguised troll, if everyone just ignored him he would get sad and just leave.

The only reason you aren't banned yet is because the mods who post in this thread are generally cool and you have that experienced troll skill of dancing around on the line but never crossing it.
