Ah, that's on my summer watch list actually.
Alas, I'm not familiar with any of the elements or characters.

Lots of people in this thread report that it's good, but my experience with it so far has been less than satisfactory. I will go as far as to say that it's downright bad in places.
I put it on hold some time ago but I've felt no urge to return to it. The DVD's just sit untouched on my desk, mocking me for having purchased them.

Yes, most people like Noein. I think it's quite good, myself.
It's official. Jexhius doesn't like Noein, which means I probably will.
I think you might run out of characters before its time.

I adore Noein. I saw it a few years back, and I fell in love with it. So many hearts for it. It gets ALL the hearts.

The action sequences can be really great but at other times, such as when two normal people are having a conversation in a house, it looks rubbish.

Oh man, they really nailed the Kimi ni Todoke parody in the beginning of the episode. It was perfect.
Don't get why cheating was treated as such a big deal. Back when I was in high school you were a hero if you got hold of the test or was able to cheat your way through a test.

Cell phone games are such serious business.

That lineup Bossun came up with was perfect, too bad it got ruined. I somehow don't think Momoka will save the day, I wonder who will come to the rescue.
Actually I have the opposite problem. Too many characters, and I don't want to spam every hour. Plus, I'm going to sleep soon.

Twilight Sparkle tries to participate in Ponyville's annual clean-up of Winter in order to prepare for Spring, but her insistence that she maintain the event's traditions by not using magic creates more problems for the tasks.

I'm gonna watch it, but I don't even care. I love the visual flare of the show, but the story is so bland and predicable (even without knowing anything about the Fate universe or Fate/SN). Almost every character or encounter has been boring or at the very least at test of patience, with the exception or Kiritsugu shooting stuff, and Kirei being pious piety. Show should have been 12 episodes because none of that other stuff that happened so far even mattered. It sucks because I actually want to like it - but I can't. It's uninteresting... there's like no depth man, it just tries to be deep.

Partway through the first half of the episode or so, I kinda wished this was a flashback episode instead of watching the equally creepy maids dress up Rea.
It was decent-ish. I'm more glad things were resolved I guess and
Oh, and I forgot Ranko even existed.

no more creepy father.
I think I understand some of the comments about the anime looking different/weird/bad in some places. It'll take a little getting used to, but I don't think it's bad so far. Story seems to be off to a good start, though, and overall I do like the visuals. Looking forward to seeing where this goes.
P.S.
I liked the eyes and it was like 20 seconds into the first episode so I just took a pic.

Personally it's been a bigger blast watching all of those react who have no idea what's going on and with no other knowledge of the series of where it came. Duckroll's posts on his thoughts have been very entertaining.

Noein is a great show, even if you do not understand what is going on with
. Don't forget to watch the hidden bloopers on the five volumes, except for the fourth volume which does not have any bloopers.

DVDs 1-3, and 5 only. They can be found on YouTube though.
It's interesting looking at these screencaps because I haven't seen that far in Tsuritama yet and I actually feel something almost "opposite" to your opinion based on what I've seen (only the first couple of episodes).
From the very first trailer the colours have "confused" me slightly in that the backgrounds are painted with what I think of as "character art" colours. It's like I'm expecting the whole thing to move at any given time, like in the excellent OP to Welcome to the NHK.
I agree that everything is very bright, but it also creates a very homogenous style in a slightly negative sense - for my tastes there's not enough contrast, to be honest. It's like the whole show is one big, bright, perky thing - and although that's admirable, I'm not sure it's necessarily my cup of tea. That partly extends to the characters, although having not watched enough of the show I don't think I can assess those fairly.
Excel Saga is exhausting but a lot of fun. Episode 26 is the culmination of it when they said fuck it and just went all out.

I liked Noein, but I remember virtually nothing about it.
Sounds like it's time for a re-watch! I've been thinking of going back and watching Chobits again since I haven't seen that in forever. It's the anime which pretty much started my downward spiral into animu-world

I have enough trouble keeping up with 20+ ongoing anime and 238 ongoing manga as it is! Rewatching stuff isn't for me, at least not for a while.
Crash Station

I didn't even know more than 400 ongoing mangas existed. Wow.
Remember that Manga is pretty much an accepted part of pop culture in Japan, while anime is still very much a niche, nerdy thing.
There's thousands.

Are there a lot of manga published on the internet? Surely there can't be enough magazines.
...That's what manga has taught me, anyway.
Femmeworth, I'm exaggerating slightly, of course, but if you browse, say, pixiv, you can find plenty of manga and doujin on there. Since you can essentially "self publish" manga that way, it really is pretty easy to get your creation out there.
No mention of shonen haato disappoints me....That's what manga has taught me, anyway.
Theoretically an infinite number of manga are published in an infinite number of universes.
Shoujo haato > shounen haato.

To be fair, a handful of the ones I'm reading are finished. They just aren't fully available in English in one form or another.
But yes, there are thousands, possibly even tens of thousands. Manga is MUCH bigger than anime in Japan.

If only there were more than a handful of actually good shoujo.
Yeah, that's a given. But I never thought there were that many different magazines around.
