Nah, you've missed his point entirely if that's all you got out of it. Cosmic enjoying something and thinking it's good doesn't rule out all discussion.

I didn't like how much the protagonist reminded me of myself... : (
I didn't really like the show much while watching it, but I found myself really enjoying it the more I thought about it. Hope you like it.
So. Urotsukidoji.
That's a thing.
Masamichi Amano.
I haven't watched the anime but the manga was depressing. It's still one of my favourite manga of all time though
I hope his nervousness and insecurity won't delay the romance a lot or create a lot of bad scenarios in the future
I will never understand what :firehawk mean
What is Blood-C if not pandering?

As Geneijin said, that doesn't rule out all discussion. That just happens to be what I personally look for. Doesn't mean I can't point out the negatives of stuff I like, whether it involves writing, pacing, art, animation (to an extent at least), etc. I can also point out why I think the series I listed are good, which I'm still doubtful you have any experience with beyond Ranma maybe.

I like Mic. Dat engrish.
Of the shows I know, I would agree that they are good shows. Sora No Otoshimono is entertaining as fuck.

NHK gets depressing? Perhaps I will drop it then, I don't like stories that go sad and such.
And in that same post you're overlooking:
Defining what's good and all the discussion resulting from that isn't precluded.
Oh no the comedy is still there, I recommend you keep watching.
You'd be missing out on a worthwhile anime in my opinion.

You know what I'm talking about.
Okay, I will fully watch one of those shows you mentioned. You decide which one. It has to be a legit harem show, though.
Oh it gets VERY depressing. You wouldnt think so from the beginning though.

The Welcome to the NHK OP is one of the greatest OPs ever made. Catchy song from Round Table + attractive visuals and incredibly creative transitions from Masashi Ishihama = pure bliss.
The first season of Ranma is pretty enjoyable, but after it introduces all the principal characters it gets kind of stale. That was the moment where Rumiko Takahashi's creative skill began to drop off.

I feel like this is a show that people only watched because it came right after K-On. lol
Haly man now you just confusing me even more.
cosmic, I hope you will pick The World God Only KnowsYou know what I'm talking about.

Oh damn. I would say Sora no Otoshimono, but I haven't watched the anime and only know the manga is godly. Dresden says the anime is bad, so I guess I'll take his word for it.
SZS might have the most appeal for non-fans of the genre, but that's boring.
Think I'm gonna go with Kemeko DX. I have no clue what you'll think about it and there's a decent chance you'll hate it at first, but ah well. I think it's pretty funny.
Edit: On second though, does Kemeko even count as a harem if there's only 2 girls after him while the rest are just doing their own thing? I mean the OP is definitely haremish, but no listing anywhere has it categorized under harem.
Well then, you choose between that and Kore wa Zombie.
I wouldn't say depressing, there are some sad moments but overall its light hearted.
The ending theme to NHK is FUCKING AWFUL.
The OP is pretty decent. Not a song I'd listen to often but tolerable.
And those people were rewarded with yuri.

Femme would hate TWGOK.
You should watch 5 Centimeters per Second. It is the very incarnation of :firehawk.
I watched it twice and read the manga.

If you want me to watch it, I'll do so. I will go in with an open mind.

Nah, the anime isn't really that good anyway. If we were talking manga, maybe, but in that case I would go with SnO in an instant.

Then I'll watch Kemeko DX, since Kore wa Zombie isn't finished airing yet.
But that OP. So good.
Oh, the Only Yesterday example makes sense.

One of my favorite animes and manga. I remember when I was similar to a hikkimori a few years back, I truly resonated with the protagnist and the shit he was going through. Thankfully, I am nothing like him anymore, but I will always hold fond memories of the show. Finish watching this goodness!

Hell, they even fit multiple
references in this episode, haha. Amazing.
Great episode. Pure fun.
There's absolutely no way Mahiro wasn't messing up every route by alternating between each potential partner's events. With that said... The surprise ending would've been the best.

I know, I just wanted an excuse to post that video.
I don't remember the original track too well, but the remix you posted is pretty neat.I can STILL relate to him
maybe not as exaggerated, but I have pretty extreme anxiety attacks
unfortunately theres never an IRL Misaki, and you're left to deal with it

And regardless of the gender this character is, I find it oddly attractive.
Isanami doesn't have any nipples. And Anastasia is being blackmailed to be a ninja? And Kamanosuke deep down wishes he was a girl? Or is a girl? They really didn't explain that dream sequence shit very well... Well it's almost over anyways. Now I'm hungry for some Manyuu impressions.

I remember seeing the early leaks this morning, but who wants some magazine cover art to go with that Vivid Red Operation info?

I thought it was more about on the feelings of a type or relationship he would have on/for Saizo rather than desire to be a girl.

But wasn't it the feelings for Saizo that got Kamanosuke out of the dream? That butler guy wasn't Saizo.
AKB0048 05:
This episode was generally what you'd expect out of an AKB0048 episode that completely takes the emphasis off of the singing and mecha and drama. It was a mostly limp and pathetic attempt to give character to the show's stable of moeblobs, succeeding only in producing some really, really AKB0048 vignettes. I still don't know who most of these characters are, and, consequently, I still don't care whether any of them live or die, so protip to the show: acting cute is not a valid form of characterization. Other than the rather out-of-left-field Pheromone Girl, the events of the episode were largely a dozen+ palette swaps of the same character uguu~ing at each other.
Because Jexhius already elaborated on the specific problems with this episode better than I'm capable of, a select couple of observations:
Most of the Akibastar backgrounds are horrifyingly ugly. Not only do they look like they were lazily stolen wholesale from Bodacious Space Pirates, but the fact that most of the structures are simple polygons with flat images pasted onto them couldn't be more apparent:
They're just about on par with the infamous image of a copy-paste sidewalk in Angel Beats! that's been posted here a few times. AKB0048 has never been shy about cutting corners on animation, though this has largely been in the form of its overabundance of CG thus far. Its 2D art, in spite of its overall aesthetic repugnance, has generally been passable. Scenes like these are decidedly not passable.
Out of the actual story content in the episode, the Tomochin scenes were almost certainly the most insane:
It's just what it looks like. It's commendable that they've achieved this through entirely non-incestuous breeding, however I shudder to think what happens to the kids that don't look like Tomochin. There is a dark, dark underbelly to the AKB0048 universe waiting to be explored.
Random observation:
75th-generation AKB members have diamonds in their hair and eyes instead of hearts.
This is why you don't ask questions about Sensei-sensei.

Welcome to the NHK! 2
Misaki is so annoying, leave Satou alone. But this episode was pretty cool. Kaoru is such a great character, instant fav, gave so many great moments and even that
Though a
what even, can't wait to see how this turns out.

Well, technically it's a series of six things.
I doubt it's going to be as bad as Best Student Council. I still have 18 episodes left on that one...

I think you get most of the yuri in the front end of that anyway. I mean, that show is where you get "Payapaya" from!

Thats what you think but I am less certain.
Well, actually, if you'd been paying attention certain other people have that as well. For example, their manager, Tsubasa Katagiri.
