I'm sure many liked him (I did), the same way people took pity of Kayneth 'FAST WHEELS' El-Melloi, and let's not forget that made him a fan favourite and the character who received more Valentine's Day chocolate of all in the Fate/Zero series at the time it aired, as said by the very same Mr. Urobuchi (https://twitter.com/Butch_Gen/statuses/302026561790562304). And as the good lord he is, well returned the favour this year for White Day too!
Look at him blushing, too adorable!
I'm sure you can't say the community as a whole thinks like that. I say don't just go again because of this, please!

This was the exact moment when I was reading the manga that I realized what a piece of shit this series was.
Fuck the mangaka.
Was it the beach scene? Because yeah that's about where I dropped the series at too.

Lol
Just LOL
How many times can you use "what did you just say?" in one serie ? let's be creative !
I can tolerate a lot of things in my anime but what nisekoi did ?

I'm not going to bother watching the latest Nisekoi, since I... haven't bothered, but what's this about a beach scene? All I saw was some sort of end card or something that reminds me of Rito's exploits of grabbing women by the ass
Yo, man. I can accept that you don't like Nisekoi. But please don't hate Komi Naoshi. Please read his other works, the Oneshots (Island, Apple and Personant are very good) and Double Arts.Nisekoi-18

Fuck the mangaka.
They killed him, Jarmel, they killed him. He can make really great and original stuff, but all of it was shot down by Jumpreaders. Only when he made Nisekoi, he could work, without Mangafans stabbing him in the back.
Never hate on Komi Naoshi. Hate Jumo and its readers.
I don't really have a post ready about Eureka Seven yet, and I haven't finished my re-watch so I don't imagine I'll be drafting one anytime soon. I can, briefly, summarise my opinion which is: this show is a lot better than I remember it being back in 2008. Clearly I must have had bad taste back then!
Still, while I don't have a lot to say I do think it's worth revelling in the glory that was 2005 BONES literally killing it. People probably remember the show visually in terms of the action animation (and so you should) but real credit needs to be given to the effects animators, the colouring and, surprisingly, the background artists who truly created a unique and distinct world:
Bonus GIF because why not:
I'm actually going to do a rewatch, at some point or another, to do the webms for sakuga wiki but just rewatching episode 1, the main thing that stood out to me was the background art. You really don't see that level nowadays at all outside of PabloPower. Just in the first episode there's a lot of attention paid to the surroundings and building the world itself.
This really was BONES at their peak even if they faltered every now and then due to some :wonzo art.

E7 is such a beutiful show.
...I loved the Eureka Seven dub.
Looking back, the fact that they pulled through for 50 episodes is praiseworthy (or is it just the current situation that is lamentable?..)

You know this may be off topic but Lost was literally a mindfuck throughout the show.
That is another thing of note in that I don't think it's the best animated mecha TV show (that would go to TTGL probably) but it ran for so long and to have the visual peaks that it does, it's really really commendable.
The camerawork in so many of the aerial battles are stellar.

This enrollment arc is stretching into a seventh episode? This one had a bit more action and a bit less talking compared to previous weeks, but this show is really taking its time. On everything. I appreciated a bit of Mibu's backstory, and the politics of the world are a little clearer now. But I'm still not entirely sure where the show is going. A lot of work went into defining this universe, but so far, that's all it's been doing.

The part I'm referring to was basically (if I remember right)
Onodera finally FINALLY gets the courage to confess to Raku. They're alone together, she actually asks him if she can kiss him... and he fell asleep sitting up and somehow didn't hear her at all.
It's such a blatant and shameless way to maintain the status quo that I just couldn't take it anymore.

Ice cold.
The funny thing is I can't tell if you're lying or not, because this is(unfortunately) entirely believable as something a Japanese writer might write.
Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood 30-64
So like,
Brotherhood has the better production values and fights, a more satisfying and climactic ending but I think that on the whole I preferred the original series with its darker twist on events and unbutchered beginning.
Nisekoi 17-18
Meh episodes, the constant monologuing of clueless characters is finally getting on my nerves.
So like,
what stopped Ed from sacrificing his Gate the moment he got auto mail arm attached ?

It felt like a TLR scene because it was drawn by the dude who draws TLR!
I imagine
it simply didn't occur to him, or he wouldn't have been able to let go until he matured more and was put into an even more desperate situation.
But Haruna is the best TLR girl from the main cast.
It was more of an issue of pride. Go back to the very early scenes/episodes when he's talking with Rose. It shows his maturation as a person in that he's become much more humble since then.

This was something I grasped the moment we were introduced to the characters.
Haruna isn't the best girl.

Poor Komi Naoshi, he is very similar to Akira Hiramoto in some way. Both created amazing work, only to be fucked by editorial, break both of their mind which makes them create cliche works out of despair and desperation.
What I meant was that
Rito confessed to Haruna at the beginning of TLR, yet he can't seem to throughout the rest of it, and still hasn't in its sequel despite them both having feelings for each other
Lala is the best girl, but also the most (not physically though) covered.
Whoa hey there
Yeah for sure Me and the Devil Blues was a masterpiece but Prison School ain't a bad replacement at all.
Maybe Yabuki's mysterious censor-bypassing powers extend to other anime now.

Yeah, 50 episodes of almost consistently great animation. How many studio can do that?
Eureka Seven is definitely one of the best mecha studio that bones ever produced (that AO is fucking awful though)
Oh I know, I was just joking around
And Onodera's mom can be like Haruna's older sister too, if you want.
Things are heating up!

So much HNNG in the first half especially Tsugumi. Then the BS comes. I can't understand why the manga has been going for so long when that scene happen. Also Onodera has based sand castle skills.

One of the best anime openings of all time. Sooooooo goooooood.
First I thought it was a catchy song.
Then I heard the lyrics, and then found the manga.......Fuck my life. Forever ruined.

Blade&Soul - 06
There should've been more to this scene than what we got. What a tease!!
But yeah, another horrible episode.
What the hell is this nonsense?
Dera was the real problem. I didnt like the bird much. got in the way of everything.
Entertainment is never useless! However the useless part is when people complain too much about something made for people to enjoy. Especially when a person has the freedom to AVOID things that make them angry. If someone enjoys something a person deems terrible, it is not an affront to that person that the item exists. Its the other persons right to enjoy the show or item and even to discuss it freely in the context of this thread.
Not everything I read on here is stuff I necessarily like. Though I read everything, theres a lot of times Im thinking to myself "I dont care about this show at all" but someone put the time and effort into posting it so I read it. Thats how I am. Its not even required to do this but I do it because I love this community and its contributors, even if they sometimes piss me off. Its about tolerance and open mindedness. The community is NOT tailored to an individual or their tastes. It is a collective of individuals united around a common interest which is anime.
Her ara ara's are a work of art.
She pulls them off so well. Such a confident ,smooth, elegant, goddesslike tone.
Nope! I never feel that way, because life isnt perfect. Things dont always work out but thats the challenge of it. The important thing is for people to stick together and love one another! I work my ass off for a salary much lower than people would expect but I get by. Im determined to!
I agree XX. Focus on the little things that make you happy. those will always be somewhere. Something exists that makes each person happy. Even if you have to retreat into it sometimes, thats why its called escapism. Anime is my escapism, but it also my door into a community I feel truly comfortable with. I love all you guys from the bottom of my squee little heart I do.
A walkthrough would tell you what you need to know but thats no fun. Wait for Ufotable.

Just watched Nisekoi 18.
I am just SO done with this show. He was asleep, really?Protagonist was a bit of a jackass towards Chitoge. I finish all the shows I start, but I won't be picking up the second season of this.
What's with high schools in anime performing Romeo and Juliet anyway? Same thing popped up in Akuma no Riddle. Put on Othello or something for a change!
