Man there was a huge missed opportunity in wrapping up the arc with masked villain in 4 episodes because now that he's back the show is already 10x better then it was. Is this show confirmed to be split cours or are they going for an AoT "season 2 will come when there is enough to adapt" mentality?

Non non biyori, kinmoza, gochiusa, acchi kocchi
I'd hold that against you more than how you misled Oreki!

Hidamari Sketch, it also doubles as the greatest anime from the second season onward.
Texhnolyze.
The chart.
Two. Today is my b-day as well
Most popular day ever! Happy Birthday!
I think I haven't watched the show precisely because of that chart.

One of these days I'll give Texhnolyze another try. And that day I'll try not to fall asleep.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I will look into all of these. (Just don't expect me to get to all of them soon
)This also doubles as gathering all the suggestions so I can screen capture all the suggestions onto my iPad so I can look and see which anime to start next.
Same, but the more I see the chart, the more I want to watch it and the more I get afraid of actually watching it and react like the chart.
It's quite an engaging show, and the amount of world-building through the environment is well done in establishing the show's tone and well... setting. The use of silence to portray a scene is really fantastic too.

The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya (Endless Eight 3) S2 4
Wake me from this nightmare!!!!

I can handle most shit and laugh it off when it comes to my chinese cartoons. I attempted to battle the chart and it cast me down, defeated.
Dominion Tank Police 3-4(fin)
http://a.pomf.se/phlcxn.webm
Like holy shit he launches a tank on to a helicopter. That's some Revengeance-level stuff right there.
So yea half-way in the 3rd episode, things start to go screwy in the bad sense. See up to that point, the show had been a whacky futuristic police comedy and it now starts to turn into this boring depressing futuristic drama.
I don't give a shit about the background of the villains but instead the story goes on and on, to the point where I started to fall asleep. Buaku's background is sort of interesting but it's really so flat compared to the rest of the show and so different in tone, that it made me wonder if I had accidentally switched shows. I just kept hoping the anime would switch back to the Puma twins. This show really started to lose me once the comedy stopped. I didn't even understand what the purpose of these 'serious elements' were and why somebody put them in there. The ending of the 4th episode especially felt like philosophical hogwash, like the last ten minutes just feel completely unnecessary and made me ask why the fuck am I watching this?
I should note that there weren't any good sakuga cuts in episode 3 although there was a lot of action in the backhalf of episode 4. My favorite moment there was this cut:
Proper use of Dezaki postcards

Anyway, not sure if I can recommend this, mainly due to the tone switch in the 3rd episode.

Is this the chart you guys are referring to?
I'll be honest I'm kind of scared of starting this show because of this chart as well, haha.

What is this chart?

That it is.
Happy Belated Birthday!
Anything is better than Anno, so JGL
Think part of the tone shift is because it leads directly into the manga which isn't quite as goofy as the show is at the beginning.
Did you watch the post credits ending? Set 20 years later? I liked the ending of TTGL. It's bittersweet. The post credits ending was really beautiful.
God fucking damn it. My minimal interest in checking out the manga, mainly due to the Puma twins, is dwindling even further.

That chart seems pretty interesting.
Also, i've seen Black Lagoon. It's pretty good.
Thanks for all the recommendations by the way. I'll probably assign each a number and then let a random number generator make the decision for me.

It's not like the manga is all that long!
Ping Pong taught me heroes exist. Now I know villains do too.

sixty-four new ones now. I have no confidence that any significant percentage of them will be examined in much depth, of course.

Anno!
I have a friend that loved the GameBoy Lufia but I didn't get to play it.
There's still reasonable people here. Not everyone who posts in AnimeGaf is a hyperbolic eccentric.
Shocking Alberto did post here that one time.

Ecchi Tsuu - 15~20
In the end BL wins.
I like how in this one Adachi don't really play things fair,
as we have in the soccer club vs baseball fan game ended with Kine getting the out without throwing to Hiro and here the umpire cheats to the home team and we have an even worse pitcher comming.
Best plan ever.
No, you need to experience the pain Nagato went through.
Yes it is, and you should still watch it. It's a fantastic series.
Everyone on here i've convinced to watch it has enjoyed it.

Nichijou officially doesn't grow old. God damn I laughed just as badly at the skit I remembered perfectly in my head.
Happy Birthday Thoraxes.
Two. Today is my b-day as well
Happy Birthday as well.
Belated Happy Birthday to you too.
Can't beat this right now,haha. Pretty good.
I haven't played it yet either but would like to.
I don't know who that is,haha.
Just got caught up on all the anime I'm following. That ending to Ping Pong was fantastic; easily my second favorite Yuasa work. He couldn't have ended it in a better way. Wixoss's ending was... surprising, to say the least. The title of the new season sounds like it's from a grocery store. Nanana's ending was... pretty uninteresting. The episode barely had any of Daruku in it, too.
On another note, my Flowers of Evil Blu-Ray came in. Rewatched my favorite episode (7); video quality is fine as far as I can tell. Still as creepy and atmospheric as I remember it being.

So cute. Those pictures don't really make it seem like a hentai though.
...lol

Haven't seen Anno's performance, but found JGL to be incredibly flat. He spoke in the same bored tone throughout the film. Learn to emote at least a little bit!
Werner Hertzog had the best performance in the dub, I thought.

I just think Nia should have
died right after the final battle. If they didn't have enough time for an extended epilogue, that'd have been better than giving the impression that Simon didn't do anything to save her. Or alternatively, make an extended epilogue where the viewer can follow the inevitability of her death, and Simon accepting it. They could also go into the consequence of attempting to use Spiral power to keep her alive.
As it stands, I don't think her death works very well.

His tag used to be something along the lines of "Most Reasonable Person On The Forum", I don't know why he lost it, he still seems reasonable enough to me.

Now the cycle is complete
It was "is too reasonable for this forum"" IIRC.
