I'm kind of wary cause, like, I completely understand the idea behind setting up a standard of decency that is understood by all participants and minimizes content that is considered obscene and/or offensive in order to maintain that standard of decency. I'm not as receptive to the idea of enforcing a particular "culture" among a large group of people for no good reason, not that I'm saying that's your aim.

Yeah as eh as I found K-On I still enjoyed it a lot more than Tamako and Hyouka.
I should get around to watching S2 of K-On. Maybe some day.
I didn't like Guilty Crown. I put up with it until 1 episodes after the halfway point. Thought it got a bit weird there.
I liked the music though.

The chocolate cornets are good in real life, but talking about food for that long, especially in the first episode of a comedy show is a bit much
I think I understand why, but I'll finish it anyway. I'm not expecting it to get any better now that Shoe is basically

The problem is that these people are wrong. Not just about moe. But also about what a genre actually IS.
Also citing azumanga as the start of this proposed genre?

Well, just don't expect the video gamey part of it to be a panacea for not wanting to learn chords. lol
I must admit, the moment I hit bends, it was a wall and became something I didn't want to get back to for a while. It's sort of like hitting a boss you can't beat or whatever.

Sports anime. lol
After this he spends the night

The Senkawa baseball club finally is formed and they'll have their first pratice match with...Kunimi's father team? What?!

I think you misconstrued what I said. I think Adachi is one of the greatest ever. I love all his stuff to death. Touch is easily in my top 5 and definitely my favorite 80s show.
I just want to watch terribly done shows that are piss poor versions of Adachi because I find them humorous. Some of these episodes of Knight in the Area has me cracking up because of the sheer absurdity of them.

If it gets one more person to play and love Xenoblade it matters not how I flagellate myself.
Besides, I enjoyed NGNL despite its excessive fanservice, if this is as good as he said it is I'll be fine.
I'm locked in for the ride, but thanks for the impressions. Was just curious in advance.
Well you can join me in correcting folk all you like but they'll likely never learn. I mean I doubt a single soul on Gaming side has taken on board my lesson that marketing != just advertising and IP stands for intellectual property and doesn't just count new game series.

Hyouka 14 - Cooking Contest Starto!!!!
Chitanda's personality really stood out this episode. Oreki and her mannerisms honestly take this show from good to great. I am enjoying Mayaka's character these past several episodes. Almost slightly out of character sometimes, but fun to watch her try her best. So far this arc has been a really fun watch.
What kind of advice is that Irisu-senpai? That is horrible advice for someone like Chitanda. But it's nice to see Irisu be slightly more emotive this episode. Even though the advice given is a little underhanded.

Not really selling me on this dude.
I go into anything with a pretty open mind and the hope that if it starts off on the wrong foot that it'll get better and find it's pace.
I will take this warning but still go in with an open mind. Hate-watching for me is no fun.
Will do. Burning through Hyouka pretty quickly so it won't take long for me to get to it.
So many conflicting opinions. So this going to be one of those anime where I will either love it or hate it huh?

I was just kidding.
Did you already arrive at the older brother(welp, I forgot his name. Suguru? lol) "doctor"? She's so bad.

Going back to this now that I'm not at work: if this really is Silver Link producing this it really doesn't look it compared to AIC. Hopefully we'll never EVER see CG witches again.

i had kinda hope for guilty crown after what i think was a bad start ..
i was intrigued by the start but nothing else , then i was not that impressed by ep 2 to 5 . i kinda liked ep 6 to 13 and then ...
I dropped it at ep 14.
Couldn't get past that.
It was at that point that i understood that this anime was going in a direction i would not like.

You really like her don't you? She's okay but Chitanda has a funny personality with funny mannerisms.
Does Irisu and this person join the Classics Club or something. The way people talk about them is like they join the main cast...
you couldnt before?
If you cant view this thread as is, its likely you shouldnt be browsing the thread at work at all.
I wouldnt recommend it anyway.

Like I said before. Megane really doesn't fly. Especially for the airforce.
It is a sad reality we must face.

Tomodachi wa Mahou
Yeah the last episode I watched had her sighing and fawning over his medical file
and trying to convince the little brother that the older one was still alive inside of his heart. Like really trying to convince of him on this.
Just a tad bit creepy. Just a tad bit.
K-On!! suffers the same problem as Hyouka where the uneducated only see the surface and proceed to judge the show as "nothingness" or what have you, without really trying to understand it and get to the core of it. Which, admittedly, you can still think it's bad anyway, but you rarely see any complaint coming from this place.
For K-On!!, it's aggravated because its first season is indeed a fairly vapid 4-koma show with not much going for it apart from the general finesse of the production (which is also greatly improved in the second season, although it's no match for Hyouka).
You really like her don't you? She's okay but Chitanda has a funny personality with funny mannerisms.

nah. Misaki just stood out to me. I mean shes kinda nuts and genki and her hair is <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 I would just talk to her about all kinds of weird random shit. she would be awesome.

I wasn't exactly trying to, haha. I was just trying to set your expectations so you're not dissapointed, lol.
And indeed it does.
I need to continue on. 7 episodes done so far, with the case sitting on my TV stand waiting to be reopened ever since I removed my Blu-ray player to make room for my PS4.

Hidamari Sketch 12 END
We meet Sae's sister who may be enrolling at their high school next year. I hope she becomes a character in the later seasons.
Overall Hidamari Sketch started well but became kind of average as it went along. The art was endearing enough to keep going. None of the jokes did anything for me and sensei's shtick was a little too absurd for me. They also managed to show Yuno in the bath every episode. Miyako was the highlight of the show, her wide faces were the best and she is just adorable.
Overall I'd give it 2 wide faces out of 3.

The few megane witches probably just keep them on with magic, it wouldn't even be the strangest thing about the show! Humi will find a way to get more megane witches in the sky.

Hope you continue to second season soon, from thereon it's the greatest anime ever.
Heh. I actually liked the first season of K-On!, it was simple, cute fun. The second season was the same only somehow boring. I tried two times to watch K-On!!, but it just couldn't excite me.
And I have no bias against cute girls doibg cute things, saw plenty of that and liked most stuff. Its been a while, but I think K-On was too tame. Not talking something extreme here, but somehow I had the feeling that I'm watching the same stuff over and over again. I also disliked Hyouka and Lucky Star (but I actually finished the latter).

Eh, people like what they like. I wouldn't say people are uneducated because they don't like the same things. Watching Hyouka it's immediately apparent that it's not a show for everyone. It caters to a pretty specific taste. I am happy it caters to me and happy I'm enjoying it so much. I do know though that others won't interpret the same things from different shows.
That's the cool thing about anime is that people interpret and take different things from any given show. For example where some might find Clannad as a show with a lot of drama and big eyed characters, I find a deep story about a group of characters that all have deep and repressed problems that need to be resolved in order for them to function and be better people. It's a story about real life problems with supernatural elements sprinkled in throughout the show. It's about a show about family, forgiveness and miracles that help people understand more about themselves/teach lessons. Some will not interpret the show like that and look at it face value.
All I am saying is that any given show it's about how much investment you're willing to give the show and what you'll let slide. It also is about how the show speaks to you on a personal level. So like I said, it's not so much about uneducated people and more about personal experience and interpretation of what's experienced.
Well I will say that this sounds like you. Lol.
I can accept that. I just wasn't sure what you saw in her but now I can understand.
Uh well thanks...
Actually the only three anime I have ever gone into thinking "this is gonna suck" is Shuffle, Elfen Lied and........ believe it or not, Clannad.

Hyouka was okay.
Well, I didn't like it. Most likely because I cam for mysteries, detective work and smug faces. Nstead I got... Oreki. Only thing that was interesting was excited Chitanda, but even that wore off pretty fast.
I swear a lot of people that go into Clannad want to think it'll suck, so you might not be alone lol
Clannad was my first Key show, and I watched it after Toradora. I didn't have the best impressions with the comedy at the start, but it didn't take long after for me to like it.
I didn't try to badmouth her, she was the obmnly redeeming quality of the show, at least for me, but the thing is that she couldn't carry the show alone.
But I do enjoy looking at sparkly eye pictures of her. Her gaze is fascinating.
