Awwwww yeah

ROBOTO KAZOKU

Fun way to end the show. Kinda fitting

Spoiler

Seki gets off scot free and Rumi gets busted.

I was hoping they'd play the "Is there something on your mind, Yokoi?" with

Seki is on her mind, but confused for in a romantic sense. I can dream I guess...

Anyways, fun show little show.

Captain Ear'f 9

AKARI EPISODE IS GO

Spoiler

Ice Cream Idol

gets outshined in her own debut by everyone's favorite Hacker Magical Girl. Akari really is the best character in this show, there's literally no competition.

82 and 91 look the best.

God I want another season of Maou-sama.

It did so well that I'm honestly suprised that they haven't announced another season. Is there just not enought material or was it just a one off?

lol what an outfit

FROG DAM fuck stones

Okay now this is taking a folk tale and stretching it farther than it was meant to stretch

Is this show supposed to be interesting? Cause I'm engaged right now. Ritsuko's story arc is actually kinda interesting and not completely lol-worthy so far.

:lol at this naked ritual

Makota...just...ugh.

I just can't.

Wow, Sekai, what an outfit. Just where do you work exactly?

Dude, honestly, what do you even see in Katsura?

What a creeper. We should make this required watching in DatingAge on how no to act, fuck. Like, I know I'm a hopeless fucker, but jesus this making me even cringe.

Ah, are we gonna go for it this time?

HAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH Get rekt Mokoto.

It's a good one though.

Yeah so I hear. Been meaning to start this for a while, GF was over and insisted I watch the first episode

First episode of HxH definitely went by fast. It's a remake though, so they want to really get to the good stuff.

Fuck me how on earth did I forget Clannad? Thanks for reminding me. What is good about Kanon?

Have you watched Kanon 2006?

Oh wow. I'll let you take this one MikeHatsu.

Are you saying you like Air more than After Story? I don't even...

If so we got our little Key/KyoAni trio here. Each with a different idea of which of the three is better.

Haha. And there's 2 t's ;P

 

[Chariot]

Fuck me how on earth did I forget Clannad? Thanks for reminding me. What is good about Kanon?

The characters and their stories. It's a bit like Clannad without after story, only that the protagonist has a past with a lot of people.

Love Live! S2 - 06

Everyone's fucking...

...in this episode.

No but seriously, this episode in simplest forms was stupid. Sure it had its comedic moments but again the drama it tries to force is contrived and how they went about it was nonsensical.

 

[Lurky]

Black Bullet 7

Pretty good episode. Although, I was expecting Tina to be a little bit stronger than that. =/
This guy sure beats high ranking people pretty easily...

Goddamn this show's fun. It's gotta really unique cast of characters, humor, and visual design. On top of that...

That's Love Live! *nico nico gesture*

edit: Yes, Love Live has some halfbaked drama. It's really at it's best when it just plain fun or getting into training.

One Week Friends 7

Took some effort to finish watching the episode, been finding the slower moments of the show really a chore to go through, but at least there has been plenty of scenes of Hase being a nice guy idiot who can't react properly. On the other hand, it's funny to see this amnesia thing become a nonexistent issue at this point of the show.

This show has felt a little bit frustrating like Golden Time but I think it holds up better and has better writing. Its still aggravating to see so many things getting in the way but thats romance drama for you. At least it doesnt have a

I actually like the look of stop motion animation better than CGI. It has a really neat, rough quality to it. A lot of Koji Yamamura's older work used stop-motion in some way, including some cute shorts he made for NHK. Pretty neat stuff.

Im used to stop motion from growing up in the 80s but I dont particularly prefer it over good CG. Tim Burton was a god of stop motion.

A battle that the witches aren't even participating in! Damned Funimation.

Why believe fanartists when you can believe in Humi DA GAWD'S wisdom? Bloomers in football soccer is truly the only way to go. An Erica from based Sandwich is also welcome.


SO GOOD.

SO GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD. Also Nanami so good she can compete with mofuwas, tomboys stronk.

Humikane is a swell human being.
SO many cuties.

I wasn't even surprised at the Dog Days 2 transformation scene after the ones in the Nanoha movies, oh jaysus.

Lol yeah. Nanoha really goes all out with the loli transformations. Completely shameless.

In kind of anime related info but also not really, Arcana Heart 3 Love Max!!!!!'s PS3/PSVita release is out now for anyone interested. You have to import from Japan right now if you aren't already there though. Western companies may pick up the game like they did the original release perhaps.

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
I suck at fighting games but I need this on principle.
Arcana Heart knows every single way to make me happy and it does it all.

Good, good~



Cajun bought a mature anime?

Kinda shocked.

Spoiler

Why is that even rated TV-MA?

Actually, a good number of anime are labelled TV MA.
Im not sure why Haganai is other than semi rampant nudity or something.
Anything fanservicey seems to get slapped with TV MA like Cat Planet Cuties.

Fall 2014 for NA apparently! Weiß best girl as far as I know, no bias here folks.

I like Nazuna, Angelica, Catherine, Fiona, Heart, Kira, Konoha, Lirica, Scharlachrot, Weiß, and Yoriko the best. SO much Cute!

I see, thanks to both of you.

No problem. I dont think you should fret much about this one. It was never an outstanding packaging, just an outstanding show. Get it any way you can.

X'amd Episode 2

God the animation....

Its... beautiful...

It was very pretty. If only the writing was up to snuff.
Its enjoyable though.

82 and 91 look the best.

God I want another season of Maou-sama.

At least we get blurays soon!

Thinking about Captain Earth. Is it any good? Been on my mind for a while.

Hitsugi no Chaika 09
More world building which is nice. I'm honestly surprised they chose now to talk about Hasumin. I'm not sure when it was put in the Light Novles, but it was brought up much, much earlier in the manga adaption. I thought they would have just omitted it altogether.

No Game No Life 09
I expected an edited OP, but that's okay. The episode was alright. Can't wait until next week.

Im about to continue watching both of these shows i just a bit. I miss them already.

[Caesnd]

Sounds pro,but why should i care when the most important is how it feels?

You shouldn't. It was just my crude attempt at trying to explain some of the reasons why some people prefer traditional animation over cg.

Compare what you posted to Jarmels Dominion Tank Police and Alita gifs. Different strokes.

 

[cajunator]

Ah, alright then. Looks like it's even getting a physical release this time. I think the original is digital only?

---

Oh yeah, for firehawk12,haha:



MP in this case stands for Metroid Prime. It comes from this thread.
I wouldn't use that wording but would agree that the games are pretty good. It's nice to see so much love for F-Zero GX there as well.

Yeah Arcana Heart 3 was digital only. The fuckers.
If the new ones getting a physical release Im definitely getting it.

"Two coors show" means you need at least two beers to make it through an episode.

Lol I never thought of it that way. but I dont drink beer.

Since "cours" is French, you don't pronounce the "s", unlike in "Coors".

Im part Cajun and Im used to seeing a lot of French spoken and written around here, so I read it as "cour" too.

I'm only watching Captain Earth for the mech porn and Akari.

But..Hana

I am so wow right now.

OVA animation was so good. Brings to mind Armitage and Plastic Little.

It ain't even fair.

I'm not that fond of any BONES' offerings this season, but Chaika is the only one that seems competently made.

Chaika has a fairly strong story and some good characters in it. and SO MUCH SQUEE.
Its no surprise its catching on really. One of Bones better ideas.

No Game No Life 1

No SFW No Life

Seriously, guys?

Really?

I noticed she has shimapan hehee.

Yep, whoulda thunk Chaika would be better than Captain Planet?

Meeeeeeeeeeee
I might be biased though.

Wagnaria!!2 4

Sato knows his coworkers all too well. Mentioning "Little Managers" with Sota right behind him.

watlol

Oh my god, this episode!

WHO KEEPS MILK IN THEIR SHIRT!?

Paper cup telephones!

And now more misunderstandings!

Lol, the way Yamada just glides into the room.

YAMADA HOLDING A YAMADA DOLL!!!

Amazing episode all around.

More of Yamada being the undisputed best girl. Get used to this.

Nah, then I'd just be humouring the show. The show wants me to be sad. I'm not.



It's not really. There's nothing really special about Kirito other than just having the role of a powerful main character doing stuff! He's just kinda boring really.

Hell, Klein should be the real main protagonist here. He's the newbie in this world while Kirito is the expert! He had to learn to adjust and survive to this new world while Kirito already had a clear idea of what to expect. They'd have a much more interesting story going on here if they just swapped the roles.

I cant get into shows where you have to self insert as an all powerful perfect character. thats not me and I hope to hell its not anyone. I dont see the appeal in these characters unless people really are that lonely and desperate.

Nothing can top 80s waifus!

You present a strong argument. Very strong indeed.

Is that the one from Orange Road? She was great. Shame that the guy was in indecisive pansy fuck. At least in the films he grew a pair. But realistically any girl would've dumped that zero and gotten herself a heeeeeeeeeeero.

Sorry I turned sassy fat lady from talk show for a second there.

Nah thats Kyoko.

Mahouka 1-8

So this show isn't terrible. It's just really really bad. The amount of jargon throwing and technobabble that happens in this show makes Final Fantasy XIII look like it's just plain English. Jeez. It would be one thing if they took the time to just simply explain the workings of the world. Instead the writing just trots along without giving a second thought to how the world works and as a result the explanations and reasonings for why some of the events that are happening make it seem hamfisted up the wazoo.

Of course, that's one of the few reasons why I dislike the show. One of the most glaring part is Miyuki. Holy crap. This character screams "I'm a slave." Were it not for Tatsuya being on the screen every fucking second of this show, Miyuki would actually be a decent character even if she is OP as fuck. Speaking of Miyuki, you can't talk about her without her beloved fucking ONII-SAMA. Fuck this guy. If we thought Kirito was bad because of his bland personality then Tatsuya is by far worse. Emotionless douchebag who tries to act like a hero. This guy is the epitome of a blank slate. Please. Just insert yourself into this character and totally live the male power fantasy. Oh, of course we can't leave out the Miyuki dynamic. Miyuki's personality is just as empty with her only notable traits being super fucking OP and her love for Tatsuya. Fuck these two characters. I hate them.

I do enjoy seeing the magic rip people too shreds. The characters look cool, espeically the main cast. I think that it's sort of dumb that they wear high school uniforms all the time. Well... Not dumb per se but rather wasteful. The visuals are pretty and very clean and I think it would've benefited from more varied outfits.

Overall I think this show is an absolute piece of trash when relating everything with the writing. The pacing between episodes is bad. The pacing of the episodes itself is bad. The characters suck and don't really have much personality to it. Dialogue is boring and dumb as fuck. The premise of the show is dumb as fuck. I just... I don't know. Despite that I think this is one of the more enjoyable shows I've watched because of the bizarre and dumb shit going on. This isn't so much of a hatewatch as it is, "Oh. Cool. Stuff is happening. I wonder what will happen next."

It mystifies me as to why shows like this get so popular when they are so average. But maybe thats why theyre popular. they dont shock or amaze or polarize people, theyre just there.

maybe chargeman ken or that infamous episode of lost universe

either way will buy

I dont see anything particularly wrong with that episode from the video.

She's in my top list x)

Anime in general really could use more lead heroines in their 20's.
