Perhaps you need to follow the advice of this thread and watch some terrible anime.
Hmm, on reflection, maybe not.
Probably. Could not have been a Manami fan, we're not that dangerous.
Don't bother, you know where this conversation is going, and where it's been:

I suppose you could get those if you wanted to emulate your idol.

You now realize that Rihoko lost in every other arc since she liked Junichi since they were kids.
They merely corrected their wrongs of the first season, I mean when you look at the grand scheme of things, she still got friendzoned in a dating sim adaptation.
And she got NTR'd in every other girls arc, along with stalker girl.
Which is whi Amigami Ss is great.
Its merely a better perspective on life.
They deserve it anyway, ending up with your childhood friend is like marrying your sister!

So, in the eyes of certain otaku, hot?
Wow, Letter to Momo bombed super hard. It only managed 60,000 people for a box office gross of 70 million yen. In contrast, part 2 of Bokura ga Ita live action got 240,000 people for 350 million in the same time frame.　The K-On movie also made 300 million its first weekend.

Like I said, so so bitter.

Yikes. I wonder what went wrong. Was there a substantial amount of advertising for it?

This is why we can't have nice things etc.
An otaku's love is beautiful to behold, no?
Like I said, so so bitter.
If Chihayafuru was about chess, Chihaya would be married to Deep Blue.
What's sad is that its supposed to be really good

Actually, it's clear that they made SS Plus just for Rihoko, since all the other arcs were garbage!
Bobby Fischer, you mean! He married a Japanese waifu after all.
Some of the OPs in Bleach were straight up snazzy. OP 8 was money.

That's a bold stance to take.

Indeed!
If you actually had a childhood friend like that you'd probably friendzone them. True story.
Friendzone is my life so probably.

That's why I watch any anime.
There is no shortage of human anime girls who commit brutal acts of slaughter. If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck...
and defeats eldritch monsters singlehandedly...

Simoun 08
Man this is crazy!Crazy priestess girl does a suicide bombing! I keep thinking this is going to be some comedy kick back show and they keep surprising me with these dark/serious moments.
People misrepresent what Simoun is actually going to be about because the artwork makes it look like some eroge.
Why do you have to be a hater?
...de geso~
I watch anime to be entertained. Enjoyment can take many forms. The form that Nyaruko-san takes is particularly entertaining.

She deserved to not get friendzoned in a dating sim anime in the first place.
What were the studio thinking, is it in their dna to do that no matter what?
Jex
Member
No hate here. It was just an observation.
It's because Fluttershy is so incredibly moe~

Black Lagoon END
This episode has some of the better action in a while
The episode was more "high octane" than the last few, which is what I wanted from the season finale. Strangely though, we dive into the mindset of some revolutionaries moreso than that of Lagoon's members for this one. I thought that they'd use this time to solidify the relationships within the group thus far.
A second season already may (or may not) have that covered, but t wouldn't have hurt for Black Lagoon to have more of it contained in this one. Even, the more subtle signs, such as Revy going back to
and having a nice Engrish greeting once she does so, don't add the volume I wanted. I might have expected too much after the submarine and "delivery day" episode, but I'd like to think I haven't.
The final scene brings an antagonist to realization over his duty and such. It's pretty low key.
In conclusion, I liked the season, but didn't love it. I feel I can gain a love for the series if they ramp up on one of two things it has going for it: Character relationships within Lagoon ( whether it be discussing ideals, a loose conversation over a drink, coming up with a team strategy, etc) and action (It came about, but inconsistent in quality of excitement)
It had both of these trades, but mastered none. I have hopes that the second season will attempt to break the limit of one of them. Visually, the show tries to set up things with ts environments, but never excels in that area either. Black Lagoon has some really dull backdrops and locations, but I find it has select shots where it introduces and area well (For example, the seaside statue of Roanpur, the cloudy day for the Nazi submarine, Revy's conversation with Rock under the sea, etc.).Besides that, I had a good time with it. The side characters were varied (mostly different versions of "Mad Woman") and the main cast wasn't a slouch for the action genre:
Revy is a crazy gal, but is fun to see bark and bite. Dutch is cool money and makes for nice, cool guy lead, not quite to the extent of personality void yet isn't "in your face." Benny was the "sidest" of side characters, he's aight. Rock is well, Rock. He has found this gang and he is doing what he can to adapt...until he's not doing what he can to adapt. I hope he eventually applies some of his new street knowledge in the Season 2 episodes which I will start soon.

Threatening with a fork an actual eldritch abomination would be a rather suicidal idea. I guess even the characters in the show can't take that idea seriously.

Relevance?
Except that she clearly doesn't "quack like a duck" as your first sentence proves.

Well, that at least is true.
this isnt limited to anime

Well it's certainly better than HBO's other OP for Game of Thrones.
What does this have to do with...well...anything?
Under the advice of counsel, I respectfully exercise my fifth amendment rights...
I'm well aware I don't have any constitutional rights, be quiet
This whole thing started when you said the bland male protagonist's violence was justified because the magical girlfriend is an eldritch abomination. This is an absurd justification on its face, because the whole reason she is able to be a magical girlfriend is that she is in all aspects that are important to the viewers a human girl.
