Very true. I call it the Eva of Mahou shoujo for reasons stated above but nothing will be the "Madoka Magica" or something else because it hasnt made that kind of impact. Eva is itself the bar that had to be raised and comparative to everything else. Madoka Magica is just something that can be compared in ways to Eva so it can never transcend its importance (whether people like Eva or not)

Wait, are we talking about Ben-to?
Fine, I'll give it one more episode. But I won't promise any more.

Well on that perspective , you might be right ...and if i follow this train of thought i won't watch the rest of the madoka movies
You're reminding me that i need to check those
True.but the initial question was ( without fanservice ).
If you care about fanservice qwaser is clearly enjoyable on many levels.

I should... someday. After I finished everything else in my backlog...
Nah. I probably brought my own though

That's fine. It's just my own rule but it's served me well.
I was being just general about how everyone seemed to have been dropping shows recently. Honestly I forget where SNAFU picked up but hopefully it's the next episode. For your sake.

Well, looks like another one likes it. Not that I'm going to hold it against you or anything.
I can understand why many people like Madoka, and in context it is a pretty good movie in terms of animation, soundtrack, and overall presentation of the story. I just hate it for the reason it exists and what it does to the franchise.
What happened in that movie did not need to happen at all. It was totally uncalled for, and it
practically throws everything we learned in the original series out the window.

Not really your own rule when it's pretty well known and practiced.
But proof that perverted scenes and humor can bring down what could've been an even greater anime

I think you would enjoy One Week Friends. I actually watched the first episode of that and forgot to post my impressions here.
Let me just quickly fix that right now.
One Week Friends - 1

It's something I have practiced in my anime viewing for quite a few years now. I've never heard of anyone else doing the same when I started to do it. It may not be unique but it's not like I knowingly stole it from someone or something. It's just something I started doing because I would drop a lot of things pre-2005 after the first episode. I started to realize that I wasn't giving things a fair shake and I figured three was the magic amount. Not too much, not too little. Gave the story time to introduce concepts and character dynamics that are usually introduced in the first two episodes so they are usually slower and most of the time boring.
So yeah I consider, to myself, that this is my own rule I have imposed on myself. You may not think so. That's fine. But this is something I put into practice of my own accord and thought without the help of anyone else.
Not too bad, I think. I saw Tokyo Godfathers is on Netflix, so I'll check that out soon.

That's fine. I mentioned it because the way you worded it gave off the impression to the person you were quoting that it's a rule you came up with and that it's unheard of, which I pointed out that it's a common practice. Even if you did come up with it by yourself. For the same reason I wouldn't go saying "I came up with an idea that anything that can go wrong in the worst moment will go wrong" when it's already a 'law', even if I hadn't heard of it. Also similar to an extent would be things such as patents.
GochiUsa is indeed the season's pure :cajun show, but Isshuukan Friends is adorable too and happens to be the best show of the season. Therefore my vote goes to the latter.
Unfortunately, you were long beaten in terms of being first to file for a patent, the dread of inventors everywhere.
Seriously though, it's been around in varying popularity here for years now.

Never insinuated that. With how freely people drop shows here I didn't realize it was as prevalent on here as you say.
I don't expect my methods to be unique in any way as most things have been thought of before we usually have the idea. I was just implying that it was my own rules on a rule set that I have for TV watching. I have a similar rule for video games to that I've implied that I am sure isn't new: if I am not enjoying myself or having fun within 5 hours of playtime then I drop the game.
I value my time but I also respect artists and storytellers enough to give them the benefit of doubt. Which is why I do these middle ground solutions.
You know, if there was an anime based on AnimeGaf we'd have a huge following for our pairing.
I can already see the fanart on pixiv.I didn't realize we had people working on Mahouka posting here. Welcome.

And half of us would love it while the other half would hate it. And the circle of AnimeGAF life would continue.

Holy shit at that double whammy of

right at the beginning of the episode XD Way to start the new series with a bang.
Aside from those remarkable developments, though, it feels like this picked up exactly where the previous series left off. Great to see that

suddenly Honoka is seitokaichou
suddenly the show is a musical out of nowhere

it looks like the girls will actually have a chance to enter the Love Live contest this time around
since there are third-years in the group, μ's might not actually get another chance at the contest again before they graduate, so it's nice to see the show directly address that and explicitly give them a final opportunity

Oh I am positive that I was. But I came to it of my own accord.
Listen I am not taking credit about how others watch anime. If someone did it before me that's fine. But I am going use the term "my TES rule" because it is mine. It just so happens that it isn't unique. Which I think is great to be perfectly honest because that means some are giving things a try when they would've otherwise dropped something.

Your favorite anime is shit and my favorite anime is shit, what do you know we both have different opinions. Talking aside you may think Mahouka's bad, but for me I think it's good, I guess your taste is slightly different from mine. Yours truly "Anime's Shit".

You say this while taking it all very personally.
Stop catching feels over this shit. People hating on the things you like doesn't equal them hating on you.

I guess madp x Pancakes doesn't work since that's someone's username.We need new yuri pairs; mine left animegaf for an actual woman (◞‸◟；
I thought the list consisted of yaoi pairing since it was drawn up by DTL. Actually I believe SDBurton did make a list, but it wasn't a yuri pairing but rather who is who in the Dynasty Warriors universe.We need new yuri pairs; mine left animegaf for an actual woman (◞‸◟；

I heard pancakes.
No, there was a yaoi pairing list and a yuri pairing list.
Guess I missed the yuri list. My mistake.
Maybe. My issue with this is that there's so many of us now, some of which are shippable with more than one person. If I did do it again I would list each person as a specific type and write a short blurb/scenario of the two. I felt that my last list would've been better if I had a smaller pool to work with, cause at the end I was just basically pairing randomly to make sure people were included.
A thought that did cross my mind was having people pm me of who they wanted to be paired with, that way I could evaluate their chemistry and decide whether that pair would work out. Though in a sense could be considered cheating and taking the fun out of the surprise element of it all. :lol
Thinking back on it now, I think I made kayos90 a two timer. XD

And a yaoi fanfic.. And a yuri version of said fanfic.
Just do pairs. Then you can make up drama with the rest! Or have jealous classmates etc. Osanajimi etc.
