How do you feel about dogs? The early part of the manga is 2edgy4u taken to absurd lengths.
Welcome to the NHK really was great! It's one of the few really good things that Gonzo put out, I think.
Yeah, I think it's pretty easy to disregard anyone who calls Haibane Renmei shit. It's great. I only need one more DVD volume of it to have them all!
Unlike you, I'm more vulnerable to criticism. I have two favorite anime, The Tatami Galaxy and Lucky Star. They're very different from each other, and I'm sure one will get me more criticized than the other, but I love them very much. Oh well!

They sure is pushing Akame in the spotlight.
When majority of the time she is a support/side character. lol

Good luck trying to find that last volume of NHK, especially if that happens to be volume six.
If I remember correctly, some from here (including DiGiKerot) watched it at the SCOTLAND LOVES ANIME 2013 festival (http://www.lovesanimation.com/). Search for his and more reviews with this information.
Saw it during Scotland Loves Anime and really enjoyed it. It's a lot of fun and the some of the scenes struck a chord. As per usual with Ufotable it is quite a looker.
Apart from Jojo and Ping Pong i'm not really into this season but i picked up No Game No Kill and it's surprisingly fun.
Ah, you misunderstand; I only need one more volume of Haibane Renmei. I think it's volume 2 that I need; the DVDs are at my GFs apartment, so I need to double check. For NHK, I'll just get the SAVE edition eventually.
I like Lucky Star as well, it's one of my "watch in the background while doing something else" anime.
No it's a foolproof plan, how can something I like be hated by normal people.
lol

Oh, well that's probably a good thing you don't need the single-sets for NHK. If it is indeed volume two of Haibane Renmei it appears you can get that for quite a reasonable price at Amazon new or used. There's also FUNimation's release to fall back on if you need to replace the entire set.
Yeah, it's pretty great for that. It's a really relaxing series, I find. I still love just watching it though; each time I rewatch it, I catch onto more references I didn't get the last time!
That's pretty good! I'm going to another con in July, so I'm going to see if I can find it there first. On a similar note, know where I can get volume 6 of Lucky Star? I've been able to find the OVA for a reasonable price easily, but that last volume of the TV series still eludes me. I really should have gotten it while it was still in print!
I think you're underrating the importance of your avatar intimidating people.

It's a super dark and edgy battle shounen with despicable villains and pretty well-done fights
I like it a lot, even if some may see the dark shit that goes on as purely for shock value.

I dont think theres shame in liking anything really. People can even enjoy SAO. I wont hold back on blasting that show though heehee.

I know that feeling
An obon visit. Don't think I've seen that before in anime. One of the sadder episodes so far. The bit after the credits was one of the funniest ones though.

You will just need to search around or maybe be lucky and find a lone volume out in the wild for Lucky Star V6. Amazon's marketplace prices start at $60 and only increase higher. I assume that lone volume of Haibane Renmei is at a somewhat reasonable price now simply because FUNimation has the series back in-print, which cannot be currently said for Lucky Star.
If you were ever interested in the original LN for NHK, shawnek (Right Stuf's Amazon storefront) still has at least one more copy available now and may likely have more in-stock later. It may not be the original MSRP, but that's the most affordable copy you can find. (http://www.amazon.com/Welcome-NHK-Novel-Tatsuhiko-Takimoto/dp/1427802564/ref=aag_m_pw_dp?ie=UTF8&m=A2PDSQIRFB9CIL) I always thought this was long OOP, so either Tokyopop had a large over-printing or somehow Right Stuf was just able to find a large sum of them. I was quite surprised my copy was even a first printing when I received it two years ago.
Isn't the point of most watch bets - specifically the ones that Corvo gets baited into - is to make them watch something they hate so they write vitriol about it?
Otherwise you'd simply recommend someone a show rather than forcing them to watch it...
The worst thing when it comes to the Lucky Star volumes was that I actually found the complete collection DVDs for $50 at a con. That's really good for something so hard to find! But when I'm getting most of these DVDs for around $5 each, and I only need one more, it didn't seem as great of a deal. I'll have to keep looking. If the Blu-Rays somehow make it over here, I think I'd double-dip despite them being an upscale.
That's a pretty great find on the NHK novel, I didn't even know it made it over here! I might check it out later. It's always neat to find that you got the first printing or limited edition of something. When I got my Princess Jellyfish Blu-Ray set, my friend kept telling me it was going to be the standard edition since it was only $35 on Amazon. When it arrived, it in fact was the limited edition! When I looked into it later, I don't even think a standard edition was printed at all. Still was a nice surprise, though.
Yup, pretty much. Minami-ke is another relaxing series I always come back to, you should check it out if haven't already.
It's not intimidating, I think it looks nice and sophisticated.

Hopefully Minami-ke gets licensed. I have only imported the first season BD-box.
Thats true. Me and corvo had one where he was watching Kinos journey and I was watching gundam Build fighters and FMP. Needless to say that was an incredibly enjoyable experience for both sides of the bet.
I loved Minami-ke! Well, I loved most of it. Season 1 was definitely the best, and season 4 was pretty great too, I thought. Season 3 was alright, but I was not at all a fan of season 2. The animation was really bad in that one, and I felt it lost sight of what made the first season work so well.
If anyone would pick it up, it would be either Sentai or NISA. It's been a while since any of its parts have aired, so I'm leaning towards NISA for this one if it does get picked up.

I could see Right Stuf or maybe even Discotek getting it too.
I actually could see RightStuf picking that up! I hope it's not them though, since that lowers the chances of a Blu-Ray significantly. Discotek is a maybe, they have licensed some more recent stuff lately (like School Days, and Chi's Sweet Home). Between those two I'd rather Discotek get it, personally.
I used to hope that the point of watch bets is to get someone to try something they'd normally not try out and maybe appreciate why people enjoy it.
I guess that's probably a naive thought now.
But seeds man
I don't think it is, I didn't see/read anything perm-worthyHito...

Ah that's not entirely true. I'm making Woofington watch Black Jack in exchange for me watching Baccano! and GTO.
Yeah Black Jack has its down points here and there (it's purely episodic) but it has quite a lot of really freaking good episodes in there in return.
oh god hito why? now we might have to discuss the Crystal premiere without you
He'll be back for that. I just hope he doesn't get so grouchy again.
I own all three of those shows. Is that a bad thing or something?

The watchbets I make is all wrong I guess. I want people to watch things I've enjoyed and hope they enjoy it too.
I own all three as well. Even own multiple versions of Kanon and Clannad
Are you suggesting some folks in here aren't human?
