Anime and romcoms go together like salt and slugs. It's amazing that even a couple of decent ones exist.

 

[Black Hat]

Waaaaat? You mean Linda.

(Nana is best anyway).

Agreed. Koko is what made the show watchable.

Rinda-senpai and Ghost!Banri both life drainers.

You say this like other mediums are typically a good place for romcoms.

 

[Articalys]

Love Live S2 ep.4

So Nico is like Yayoi, if she wasn't poor. Or more egocentric. Or more of a liar. So actually nothing like Yayoi except for having multiple younger siblings.

Well, character development is always nice anyway.

kawai seems ok so far.


have we ever done love live rankings?

pink fuwafuwa > all the other shitholes.

 

[darkblade77]

I believe that Mahouka, much like Blood-C, is best enjoyed ironically.

Spoiler

breaking news

Also Nafe's Crest/Banner of the Stars posts seriously make me want to rewatch the whole thing again. I never thought I'd enjoy a series centered around space elves so much.

 

[Articalys]

Actually, I think I'm going to drag Love Live down one level to be tied with Mekaku in my rankings, and punt Jojo down a half level so it's between those two and the mass of everything else.

And then I think I'll pull up Ping Pong and set it to be tied with Jojo for now too.

My real problem with a bunch of the shows this season besides my top three is that they swing way too wildly from being really entertaining one episode to being average the next. Jojo's probably only as far down as it is because we haven't gotten to the good parts yet.

Some of those old pre-'60s romcom films are pretty good.

 

[duckroll]

So you do like Blood-C and as for opinions I really don't care if people listen to it or not. Because I believe Blood-C is shit. As for being represented as an animal, I would rather be one than an insect that of which you are.

Spoiler

If your taking this seriously I'm just playing with ya, it's fun no harm.

I'll give this 3/10. Not very imaginative, doesn't make a whole lot of sense, and isn't even particularly insulting. Looks like you have much to learn when it comes to knowing what pushes my buttons and what doesn't. Lol.

 

[Branduil]

No matter what insult you come up with regarding Blood-C, it will never hurt duckroll more than the movie did.

The romcom that show couple sleep in separate bed, right? When everything is so pure...

I haven't watch love live s2, maybe today a good time to finally watch it.

Everything else aside though I am surprised you've kept the Saya-Ame doll avatar for so long; was it since Wolf Children's theatrical or BD release? I would have certainly figured something else would have struck your fancy to replace it in that time.

One day when the time comes I'll find a way, believe it.

Linda is bad but Koko is worse despite whatever cute shenanigans she does when things are going her way.

"My boyfriend helped me recover from a traumatic experience gave me loads of self-confidence when I most needed it. When he became more worried about his memory loss, I told him that I'd make everything ok

Oh, that memory loss is no joke and he now needs me more than ever? WELP, G-2-FUCKING-G"

I dunno, it's whenever it was created for me! The avatar is a sign of my appreciation for the community coming up with something funny and fitting. I'll probably never change it unless something better comes along conceptually. Lol.

Don't tell me that's Duckroll's favorite anime studio.

It isn't (you actually have to dis GoHands).

Ginga e Kickoff!! 03

Highly amused they had a triplet strategy. I liked the copy strategy they came up with during the game, mostly cause I kept expecting them to lose terribly or something. Maybe it's due to some rule of shounen.

Baby Steps 04

Poor girl who probably has a crush of him.

Yowamushi Pedal 29

This is the romance we all been expecting to see.

Nobunaga ZA FOOL 16

All this French stuff is boring. Go back to Japan.

Puchimas!! 24

This arc is pretty awesome since it's all about the puchimas.

 

[Articalys]

This is also probably a good time to ask what are some region-free/region B Blu-ray players that are of decent quality and not cost a ton please?

 

[Quasar]

I really hate anime relativism.

Meh. I'm just the Jeff Cannata of anime. I like to like things...and thats mostly true when it comes to the anime I try.

Its rare that I run into what I'd call a bad anime. Ghost Rapist being one recent example.

 

[duckroll]

I'm also interested in knowing this. While we're at it, does anyone know if it's possible to hack a Pioneer BDP-3110 player to do region free blu-rays?

 

[chickdigger802]

so whos the chick in the volleyball show? There was fanservice shots one eps, but now shes just a background character with no lines of dialogue.

 

[Branduil]

Does anybody know how to crack into the mainframe of a certain island off the coast of Costa Rica and unlock the paddocks?

Wait, wrong forum.

A bit surprised that this is only a potential Kickstarter for just the UK after the Kickstarter for Mai Mai Miracle. So I know GKids is supposed to release Patema Inverted in North American theaters, but I assume they don't plan on releasing the movie on BD/DVD for the North American audience?

Anime Limited is really the best thing to happen to anime in the UK recently. Will back this Friday, I wasn't particularly interested in Patema Inverted but after watching Time of Eve and Pale Cacoon I can't wait.

All that Hummingbird talk made me realise I needed to update my watch list quite a bit!

 

[Eusis]

I made an account there myself (Eusis, like on here) and been slowly adding the stuff I watched over the years.

... Probably should've just gotten it done on MAL because that seems a bit faster and I might've been able to just get all of Ghibli at once rather than trying remember each film.

EDIT: Does Rurouni Kenshin counted as finished or dropped if I stopped after the Kyoto arc?

It's useful as a record mostly. Many prefer a local spreadsheet but memory can become unwieldy when pushing over a thousand shows.

I add stuff I'm watching now, and stuff that occurs to me whenever.

I'm actually kind of curious to see how recommendations work out when they actually function. And yeah, trying to keep track of stuff that interests me.

Or only over a hundred.

 

[BGBW]

Ah, so they were smart enough to force the user to select a name from a drop down list for that new waifu box. If it were me I'd just allow the joke entries so I don't have to make sure I've got every single possible character in a database.

I just want to write "Kinsoku Jikou Desu~"

I take my chances and also I have tried the archive thing and I just can't be assed to spend such time on something so trivial. It helps out others, that is fine.

 

[Sir Blaming]

the horror of not having export on AniList.
THE HORROR!

I like cataloguing things

Even a few dozen's kind of a pain in the ass really.

I guess I am just not overly concerned with not having a record of every anime thing I have ever watched.

A brief Google suggests that Orei's BDP-M2 is a commonly bought model - I think it costs around US$150 normally? I don't know where you could get one from that would ship to Singapore though if necessary. Otherwise it seems that most people buy modded players - couple of threads seem to recommend this Sony model.

Also judging from other websites, I think the BDP-3110 is an Asian exclusive model and so has unfortunately passed most hackers by. There are similar Pioneer models that seem to have custom firmware available that does region-free playback but I wouldn't know whether you could use those without bricking your player.

 

[Psycho_Mantis]

Friends is amazing. Romcoms in anime are largely cringeworthy which is true but to a lesser extent in tv shows.

How much is a ton? Sony BDP-S1x00 ones are good. Got a few of those myself.

I'm also interested in knowing this. While we're at it, does anyone know if it's possible to hack a Pioneer BDP-3110 player to do region free blu-rays?

All the Pioneer Blu-ray hacks I've seen require hardware modifications.

Yeah. I use MAL to keep track of my endless backlog as well
