That's right, it's best not to poison a virgin mind with such filth. If you automatically no what a term, such a NTR is you probably know too much.Dresden said:

Are they moe pure?Lafiel said:I haft to admit in certain romantic anime it seems wrong that they'd have sex of any kind, considering the innocent nature of the romance and all lulz. Plus the characters are drawn so innocently and pure.
Yagami is the best character! (although halycon won't see her for a while).
Emma frost is going appear in the x-men anime?
I haft to say one disappointment about the x-men anime is it's only 12-episodes long, 26-episodes could cover a lot of ground, especially if it retained the level of the quality of the first episode.

How can you not like a show with anime's manliest man.
No wusses cockpit for this guy. He hangs off the side of his robot with one hand.

Okay okay so listen up.
Vetti goes into the garden where the pope's daughter is and starts reciting bad nightclub poetry. She isn't having his bullshit, seeing as he wants to marry her for power, so jeers at him, with the little brat acting like a total bitch the entire time. Vetti starts blabbing again and then suddenly grabs the girl and kisses her without warning, and then the girl bites his tongue and walks away in disgust, and then afterwards Vetti grabs his head in agony, collapses onto the flower bed for no explained reason as his little whore brat grabs him and screams into the camera pulling away from above.
See, I tried to explain this scene and I absolutely could not do it. This really must be seen to be believed.

Oh, that's good news. I was kind of worried it was almost over, it's nice to know it's not even halfway yet.Paprikka said:
True. But, it didn't end with a complete "no winner", Houki was suggested to maybe have an edge, but that relationship, as I said, came out of absolutely nowhere. Apparently nothing that happened in the first ten episodes mattered at all, as far as that goes. I wouldn't agree that that's normal for the genre, though. Sometimes, but not always. IS is worse than average, I wouldn't quite use it as a typical example...mAcOdIn said:
And you know, their efforts weren't in vain. Finally one of them managed to actually get him to react. It just would have made so much more sense if there'd been anything from episodes... oh, like three or four to 10... suggesting anything significant between those two characters... but this is IS, logic, sense, and competent writing (even for its genre) do not apply.
Oh right, that part... yeah, the idea that she'd been the one who got that robot to go rogue was something you'd guessed at wasn't it, and it turned out to be true.
On that note though, a couple of things I believe I forgot to mention in my IS ep. 12 review.
-So in mid-episode the girls are just Ichika's nakama (he says so to the spirit person in his unconcious dreamworld), but in the end he admits that he likes Houki? I guess her straight question finally broke down his denial...
-On that note, are the two girls in the unconscious dreamworld both his sister, or not? The one in the IS looks like her, but what about the younger one with white-ish hair?
As for the part where his sister and the inventor woman talk, part of that was kind of confusing...
So, his IS healed him somehow, from the brink of death. Okay. Apparently the one she used to save Japan with in the past had a similar function. And yeah, she set off the robot because in addition to being a mechanical genius she's also a super-hacker, and wanted to show off the powers of the new IS. Um, alright, though it's Ichika who stopped it, not Houki...
What I don't quite get is his sister's not-so-"hypothetical" about how apparently she rigged the scenario where Ichika controlled that IS, so that he'd get sent to the academy even though he actually couldn't control the IS. Ah, but he has an IS and can control it, I don't get it... unless Byakushiki is a special IS just for him or for men or something that she designed? I mean, that she's actually doing everything he seems to be when controlling his IS through the entire series seems unlikely. And yeah, she then responds by saying 'but then it'd only work that one time only' and that she doesn't understand how that IS works. The latter part is obviously false, she designed and built it after all. But what is true? They don't say, the topic is dropped there.
And on that note, the second "scenario", "set off the robot IS to show off Houki's new IS", is as I said also a little odd because well it's Ichika who stops it, all Houki does is fight it and then recharge his power so he could deal the final blow... I guess that sort of works, she did fight it. The first one above's the one that's harder to understand.

Fighting tournaments. I think that's the supposed use. Obviously there are military uses, they just aren't publicly admitted or something. Either that, or that "no military uses" is one of the many aspects of IS that changed from episode to episode...
It's better than anything in IS, I can tell you that much at least. Of course, considering how bad IS is, it's also not saying much.
You're right, those shows sometimes do have sex. "They never do" isn't true.

Dog Days 1
Dog people need to act more dog like. Tails need to wag more, ears need to move more, girls need to be more genki, etc. As far as animal people are concerned, this is just a lighter Utawarerumono.
That being said, I'm interested to see where this goes. It does seem awfully generic, but it seems like it could be amusing enough. Main dude didn't even put up a fight when told he was transported to another world. Seems like he's totally fine being there just to goof off and make it so dog people don't get depressed anymore. Sounds stupid, but I was entertained.
Also, chocobos.

The True Monocle is a truly frightening trait. It's like having a superpower, only you got a crappy one while everybody else is flying around and shooting lasers from their eyes.

Yeah, but this isn't an angst romance shoujo, it's a character building shoujo that simply takes out the super hot amazing lead dreamy fuckable male and places all the emphasis on the girl.Steroyd said:
I've said it before, but the whole point is that Sawako is meant to act on her own, to have her own agency. I mean, that's why the author presumably shoves it down your throat by having Yano and Pin interfere via non-interference. The drama is in how they work out their own character flaws (both are essentially neurotic and have low self-esteem, which is why they can't imagine the other would be attracted to them), not in who is sleeping with who and love triangles and whatnot.
It's why at the end you finally have Ryu confessing to Chizuru, even though they both kind of know how they each feel. He's hung up on the fact that she crushed on his brother, but after seeing Kazehaya go through his bullshit because he didn't have the balls to get over his own neurotic self-esteem issues, he decided to just put it out there as well.
And somehow I've ended up going down this road again. :lol

Hmm? A minute with wikipedia or google would tell you that School Days is considered, by many, awful, while many others consider K-On! good. Of course, listening to what other anime fans on the internet have to say about their favourite shows, you'd probably be right not to trust them.Sebulon3k said:
