Been tempted to give it a look given how popular it is. Your post makes it sound like something I'd like with the usual reservations I'd have about an unnecessarily lewd show.

Yeah, that's the kind of attitude you have to have going in.

I had completely dismissed it out of hand at the start of the season like everyone else, because the premise sounded so crap. And most of the assumptions about it going in are true (the incest vibes feel all-but-nonexistent to me). It's a hikkikomori wish-fulfillment fantasy. But the people making it at Madhouse seem to care about elevating what they're working with and making it as fun as they can, and it shows.

It's not as good as the three shows I was watching before (Ping Pong, Mushishi, Jojo), but it's a hell of a lot more entertaining than One Week Friends has been the last few weeks.
 
I feel uncomfortable. Mostly because I can't tell if he's joking or not. And whether he is or not, won't change the fact I'm uncomfortable.


edit: also speaking of One Week Friends, I wish somebody would photoshop a fedora on Hase and write something like *tips fedora*

Even if it's a joke, the fact that anyone would actively want to play up being a lolicon as their "shtick" is worrisome.

You know, not all social taboos are arbitrary or rooted in misinformed bigotry.

Sayuri has an interesting taste in gifts. Well Kanon certainly has more action than Clannad just from these last two episodes alone.
We also learn Yuuichi is being hunted by demons. What the hell have you done to warrant that Yuuichi?
 
cnet, I doubt you're an IRL pedophile even if you feel that way about drawings, but you should probably be careful about flaunting it. You never know what can come back to bite you in the ass when it's documented publicly, and what you're saying isn't exactly an accepted thing even in Japan. Yeah, it sucks you have to keep your tastes hidden, but that's how the world works sometimes. It would suck even more if your attraction extended to the real world, so be thankful for that at least (assuming it doesn't).

There's probably many hentai forums you could discuss it on if you really cared that much. On GAF though, even in the anime thread, you might not get the reception you want.

This is it Woofington. Everybody is feeling uncomfortable and wants a change of topic. This is your chance to be the hero AnimeGAF wants, even at the cost of your dignity. Now say something. Anything.

Joke's on you, we're capable of being outraged by two things at once.

I wouldn't say "flaunting it" is my intention. Believe me when I say I'm acutely aware of how touchy a subject this can be, and I generally try to choose my words carefully to hopefully avoid being banned at least.

On the other hand, when discussing shows which are specifically designed to appeal to my preferences, I feel like it's reasonable to be honest about them to some extent. I don't want to misrepresent my own opinions as a fan. And when I see people making hateful comments about those shows, I feel some measure of duty to voice a counteropinion, because I don't want to promote that kind of attitude by inaction.

I try to remain good-humoured about these things and not make it into a big deal even when some of the attitudes people have make me genuinely angry, so please understand that I'm not trying to be antagonistic or attention-seeking here. I just feel like there has to be a little balance.

I don't think FSN (the VN) is terrible. It has a lot of pretty cool moments in it, but it's limited by its pretty unlikable protagonist. I liked Fate/Zero much better.

You can be honest with what shows you like. However, just know you shall be judged very harshly from now on. Now if you played the VN everything was okay except the Fate route.
 
I thought you had good taste Woofington. *smh*

You know those scenes in movies where a character dies and before they do they get on a Jesus position and the camera zooms in above and you think to yourself "we get it, the allegory is that he sacrificed himself for the rest of them". Well yeah.

I'm not saying I'm Jesus. I'm saying I'm bigger than him.

Yeah I played the VN. I saved many waifus with my penis.

Really liked this show more than I thought I would, Great visual humor and great character interaction goes a long way in comedy stuff like this. The show can go from 0-lewd in no time admittedy but that helped remind me of Muromi-san in the end (sans the boy and sakuga & with monsters rather than mermaids) in that the humor was centered around some general culture shock, a bit of lewd, and a whole lot of stupid.

Premise of the monster princesses coming to live together worked well enough in the end. Selection was good too as you can't lose with such classic monsters as werewolves, vampires, mahou shoujos, or the dreaded meganekko. Frightening stuff.

Da fuck am I reading?

Stardust Crusaders 11

Centerfold's power was awesome, but how they figured out a way to beat him was even better.

I know right? Gargantia was pretty good!

Just checked the show out yesterday after seeing it getting so many recommendations and yeh...

I mean even now I just can't believe how nonchalant shows are about that kind of fanservice. Dunno what it actually says but when the English dub even mentions s.th. like "this would be like child porn if he were in the bath with me" just... uh. What?


Well, my opinion on /r/anime's majority opinion has gotten worse and worse. Looks like the larger part of that subreddit is indeed the audience that this shit is pandering to.

No game no life gets so much attention there and shit, Brynhildr in the Darkness and "Akuma no Riddle" are also well liked and.. well when I checked those out I had to realize that THOSE TOO are your generic, badly written, Ecchi, harem wish fulfillment shows.

I was seriously looking at some of the episode discussions and people talk about the shows like they have meaningful plot and characters and then... then I actually give them a watch and it's just garbage. What the hell.

Which shows are actually good this season? I do like Mekakucity Actors and am currently waiting for the season to finish so I can binge-watch the last bunch of episodes. Ping Pong seems somewhat well liked but I'm really not sure if I'd actually end up liking it. Are 'Mushishi' and 'Hitsugi no Chaika' worth giving a try?

Chaika and Mushishi are good shows and dont have much if any fanservice.

Chaika - Episode 11



Ooooooh yeah BONES this is more like it. Chaika delivers on everything Soul Eater Not does not. As expected from an episode storyboarded by Iwao Teraoka, the action is really well choreographed, and it's pretty damn exciting to watch. This climax is really shaping up to be an explosive end to the season. The various plot elements the show has been building up are starting to intertwine now, and while it's great to stuff coming together, it's going to be pretty painful next week knowing that the rest of the story doesn't continue until October. It's going to hurt so good. <3

Im happy to see you genuinely enjoying a Bones show that didnt shit on itself Ducky. You waited a long time.


Aiko who posts in the K-On thread is a huge fan of these masks so Im well used to seeing them and not bothered by it.

FUNimation almost pulled another "Sankarea" incident with Ben-To by releasing the TV-edit instead of the uncensored BD-content. More information here.

Shouldn't it just be a given that home video releases have a high chance of having uncensored content with all of the fanservice, gore, and Shaftness being involved today?

man why cant companies get this right? Its frustrating as a collector. This didnt used to happen.

Don't worry so much about the little sister in No Game No Life, Jibirl is the saviour.

But everyone is fun, little sister is hillarious in combination with Sora and only overshadowed by Jibrils crazyness and Stephs... whatever Steph's doing.

Jibril is by far the best reason to watch NGNL.

Snafu is con6firmed to have a Bluray release later by Sentai on twitter. so you guys can wait unless you just want it on DVD.

What's up with Funimation doing SAVE releases with artboxes?

Thanks! I can now look forward to this release. Still waiting on Chuuni and others. Bluray or bust!

Gonna have to go full circle on this and rewatch it, considering I only remember [UNF]Liru[/UNF UNF UNF] and how she appeals to you (and I, others, etc) in many ways. Might be one of my better rewatches this year along with Sketchbook Full Colors.
 
Can't repel what doesn't exist. I serve only the cute, and as we all know, cute is justice.
Indeed.

I feel like you guys are over exagerating over what he said.
Not everything must be taken in only one sense you know ?

I have no problem to say that i share Cnet opinion on that matter.
And i don't see what's wrong in saying it.

That's not what I'm trying to do at all. I don't want to be objectionable, and I deliberately avoid making excessively lewd comments because I know they make people uncomfortable. The only time I'm going to discuss the kind of lewd things you're talking about is when other people bring them up first and I feel the need to voice my side of the argument.

I'd really like it if we could all just get along =/

So, I don't think there was any fanservice argument this bad with Yozakura Quartet, but was that because pretty much all the girls in that one were at least teenagers?

I haven't seen NGNL, but I assume its fanservice is much more frequent and "in-your-face" than the several miscellaneous instances in Yozakura Quartet.

I wasn't around for that, but I'm pretty sure it was because nobody insinuated they like 12 year old camel toe.

Paging Firehawk or someone who knows. Are these Aria sets worth buying from rightstuf or is their a better release somewhere.
