To top it all the terrorism off, more ugly CG mechs for the whole family!
AKB teaches us here that you should appreciate your "haters."
These are truly words of wisdom.
This culture...someone should write an article on it.

The Btooom! manga isn't very good, from what I've skimmed over.
Edit: Yeah, this is crap.
Necrophilia. Classy. Of course the girl is a rape victim. -_-

No, its called "the secret world of Arrietty" in the US.
I dunno, I get a perverse amusement in seeing how much more of an insufferable prick Mahiro could possibly be in this setup.

Quite. He doesn't have anything better to live for.
He's probably in the closet's closet.
He's probably gunning for the fabulous glasses guy who sits in front of him in class.
Its a show that can almost do no wrong.

Mahiro knows better than to put the pussy on a pedestal.
Just look at that sharp ahoge 2/10 would not bang.

Does there need to be more of a reason then that?
(I also wish she wasn't in the show).
Trejo.
You have crossed a line.
Consider this a warning.
It's not a requirement, it's just the natural consequences of having shit people in charge of colour balance and pallete at your studio.
The world has been heading this way for awhile, you just haven't been paying attention.
You didn't really need to start anything else when you had seen their best show.
Just reading this makes me loathe Mahiro even more.
Thanks for saving me the time to find out for myself.

but you would say the same with just some yuri content.
sure, Arakawa is amazing.

I dunno... to use the same over the top voice in every role is not that perfect.

Can't it be both?
It had some girl-on-girl action too.
Well, girls wrestling on the ground, but does it really matter?

But it looks beautiful, right?
It feels like something that could have worked (with a better script) as a six-part OVA or something. Why it went on for 24 episodes I shall never know.
Well, if Spiderman 3 and the Star Wars prequels are anything to go by, then yes.

I have filed this for future reference.
Araragi isn't a character, he's a device.
Clearly you don't understand the Shinbo's subtle visual language.

On the episode:
or at least, not yet.
Give 'em hell, Team Rider.
On the episode:
Nothing and no one of value was lost
or at least, not yet.

I see we know the truth
The entire manga is over-the-top, so I have no problems with these things.

Yeah, the lyrics are so baffling, I still cant make sense of it.

After finishing Code Geass, I'm horrifyingly near the end of my backlog. Considering what the summer season looks like, it may be break time once Fate s2 finishes.
This man speaks the truth. There's probably hundreds of things you have yet to watch and by the time you're done with then there'd be new seasons of shows to catch up on.
This may not be immediately apparent, of course, but once you've done some research into the history of anime you'll probably come across a number of shows and movies which you've never even heard of.
Nope. Not at all. Not even a little but. You must be imagining it.

You were too helpful. You should have just pointed out that most anime isn't actually slice of life and/or moe. I don't really think you can force people out of their comfort zones that easily anyway, they have to decide to do that themselves.

I really want to watch Future Boy Conan, on that note, but I need to punish myself from waking up past mid-day after staying up too much. Always knew I was a night-bird!
So this is why I knuckled down and watched the final third of Sailor Moon S in a single day.
Fresh Precure! 01:
For reference, this was the series that aired before Heartcatch.
The first thing that really hit me about this was how low-budget it feels in comparison to subsequent series. QUALITY abounds, the backgrounds range from Tsuritama-esque blob shading (except much less artfully applied) to colored-in pencil sketches, lots of janky animation (even during fight scenes), and disappointingly-plain transformation sequences. A lot of the line art often has a grainy inconsistency like some scenes were animated at a sub-HD resolution and badly upscaled. It's not even on the visual level of Suite Precure, which is saying something considering how garish, stiff, and continually off-model that series was. (On the flipside, though, apparently several musical tracks in Fresh were reused in Suite. The cycle of cheapness continues!) Barring an increase in animation budget, Fresh is a series that's going to have to sell itself on how fun its characters are.
So this is Momozono Love, juyonsai, your average Precure progagonist. Genki and kind of a klutz, I suppose that what differentiates her is that she's a meddlesome romantic, trying to bring people closer together even when it's not her place. She has two obviously future Precure friends, and she herself transforms into Cure Peach after being chosen as something something legendary precure something by a magical plastic key (in stores now). There's a weasel mascot, and some kind of generic Chypre/Coffret/Candy/etc. puffball, and mysterious villains that live in a mansion in the forest and are collecting human suffering to revive someone or other. If this all sounds generic, that's because it is.
At least the monsters look better than Negatones or Akanbe. That's not saying much, of course.
Well, I'm committed to marathoning the whole thing, so here's hoping that it eventually finds its stride.

Well what's stopping you?

I don't even know what's going on any more. I can't say that I really like or dislike this show and I think the only thing that I can safely say is that it's a disappointment.
i feel like i'm the only one who likes Hanekawa.
the megane + pigtail combo = my weakness
but Shinobu was the best thing about Nisemonogatari
That surely speaks volumes for the show as a whole.
None of that really counters what pizzaroll said though. He said it was a well made about teenage sexuality, a topic which hitherto had hardly been handled in a 'classy' manner.
You don't need to post this kind of comment, you're already an internet celebrity.
It is indeed a testament to its high quality that a show that already had some excellent characters was able to add a few more without missing a beat!
Please don't be implying what I think you're implying. Do I have to begin sharpening my knives?

Nothing's stopping me except that I have a lot of summer schoolwork, health-related business, and I write for a game music site too.
Also: Fujiko's easy to understand if you put some thought into it.

Knives are too messy. Forced asphyxiation and neck snapping is much cleaner and safer.

"classy" is a silly word without definition.
And I don't know if you can say MGX handles this topic in a classy manner if there is no progress. Urabe and Mikito are stuck in a status quo, either the mangaka ignores what happened in the earlier chapters or he pushs the resett button after a long arc.
After all MGX is tame and prude as many other teen romance stories.

No need for violence, Saint Juste.
I only said that in the future
good characters will most likely perish

Something you'd be right about.
