Hito said something about it's corrupting our minds.
Only in the sense that people were spamming it in multiple posts in a row. Although one could argue that when a word starts to encompass all aspects of a subject and even multiple subjects instead of describing new nuance, then that word limits thought rather than expands it.

Hmm, so it's okay to use the forbidden word of joy in cases of extreme cuteness? For example, taking the case of Illyasviel von Einzbern, I believe it would be appropriate to use the forbidden word in such a case! Especially since she's also a magical girl in an alternate universe!

that's the problem with words
 
There really isn't though (at least not yet). It's about a brother and sister who previously had a nonexistent relationship getting closer (in a completely platonic way) through the knowledge of a secret.

People who think their relationship is completely platonic sure are engaging in a whole lot of wishful thinking, because it's quite obvious right from the start that that isn't true at all.

Sure, but most anime characters aren't lusting after protagonists that multiple social taboos forbid fucking with, so Kirino has to deal with so much more and identify herself with a whole lot of unspeakable shit just to have the same bland anime protagonist that every anime girl wants.

I can only guess that it's the idea of incest itself that interests her and not anything about her brother in particular.
This is correct.

Symphogear 13

So much stupidity, although I've come to expect that of this show. Also lol at the ending
I knew the first episode was just trolling. What a pointless scene, told you Geneijin!
The final battle was sufficiently cool though at least.
So if everyone else can seemingly survive it, why that that other girl die in the first episode when she used the song? That's not being too consistent...

Smile Precure is the best Precure show of the bunch.

Also, Symphogear happened. Figures that the all girl psuedo-yuri action shows were pretty bland/bad. I wonder if this means a complete shift back to male heroes in hapless harems.

Just because most of the pseudo-yuri shows this season were bland or worse doesn't mean that they all are, or that you'll see that shift you mention there... it is kind of sad when Kill Me Baby probably is the most consistently good pseudo-yuri show of the season, though, unless I give it to Last Exile Fam anyway despite the plot getting so, SO stupid (as we have both agreed).

There are shows like Saki Achiga-hen and S2 of YuruYuri coming, though, so hopefully the situation will improve...

I dunno. I found Hito's last one more intimidating, which is a reason I liked it more. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure Hito's still just as intimidating, but still...
Haha, I loved my last avatar too, although it did take a while to get used to the idea of not having Yotsuya or Hiroshi Abe standing in for Yotsuya. However, the idea of using an April Fools avatar got me looking around, and I eventually decided an av from this pic might be worth keeping around.

You know, these kinds of posts is why people refuse to post in here. Just had a PM conversation with a guy about that.

God forbid someone post a small ANIME RELATED picture as a response to something. Nobody on Gaf EVER posts a picture as their comment. Only vile unclean anime fans commit this atrocity.

G Gundam 33

Return of the John Bull Gundam? Not particularly fond of Chapman but George gets another shot as the focus of the episode. Gundam Fight itself did not disappoint though as it gave George's chilvarous nature focus.

Possibly the most badass Gundam Rose has ever looked. said:
Sailor Moon S 93

Another fun episode. The plot was par for the course but visually it was impressive. Can't get enough of Uranus and Neptune's attacks. They have such a force to them.

Seems like the visual humor is excelling more in S than the previous two series.

Koutetsushin Jeeg 2

I can't help but like a show with a giant robot and so many slasher smiles.


Oreimo 1

This was surprisingly funny. Went in expecting the worst and got a charming episode out of the ordeal.

I think the the writers didn't really give a shit. It was all pretty badly written from the plot to the dialouge. Stuff not making sense, while annoying, didn't exactly surprise me. They certainly make
that girl's death seem incredibly pointless though

They all were fairly zzzzz. Rinne had finger sex, I suppose.

I'm a huge anime weeaboo but I haven't watched anything for a long while. The only series I'm really waiting for is Watanabes Sakamichi no Apollon.

Any recommendations? I like comedy/slice of life/drama/Cowboy Bebop/Cowboy Bebop/Cowboy Bebop/comedy and slice of life. Also any word on a sequel to Paradise Kiss/Ouran High School Host Club/Usagi Drop/Hatsukoi Limited/Kuragehime :(

I love Kuragehime :(

I think a number of them left with Imaishi.

But that was super recent, so they haven't really had a chance to prove if they can still do well without them. Also I totally just realized that Gainax wasn't the main driving force behind the Eva movies and it was Anno's own start up company, that makes the movies seem all the more impressive to me.
