Who are you banning now?
Ah, right, forgot it was Easter this weekend. Makes sense.
I can't believe we're going to be on OT2 before some of the shows even have a chance to air their first episode.
That's one incestuous family tree.

Like I said, it's more the venomous responses like a certain person's gifs that imply "are you fuckin kidding" or other posts like that. A lot of people are joking around, but a noob to the thread wouldn't catch that.
Most of the people in this thread genuinely enjoy sharing their experiences wih anime, myself included. Sure, it's not always a matter of sharing the most exemplary shows, but if there is joy to be spread we're all about spreading it.
On the other hand, we've also seen a ton, so the ninth halfassed retread of a given show doesn't impress us much.

Most people fully enjoy their hobby while not purchasing that many shows, if any, unfortunately.
No, it really is. It's amusing to see how closely tied together the industry is!
Unless it's School Days.
I only pay attention when I'm worried about the quality of a show like AO. It's like watching a trainwreck coming straight for me but I just can't get out of the way.
This never happened.
Except for the sucky episodes. But there weren't that many of them.
Anime of 2011.

The best kind.
It is unfortunate, but I have to keep the fucking thing afloat I'm gonna do it. I love this stuff. Its part of me. It gives me joy.
But I thought the point of School Days was that rather than being a halfassed retread, its a fullassed deconstruction of halfassed anime.

Now now, School Days goes where no other harem show has gone before. It's a landmark title.
School Days was a very well made series that did exactly what it set out to do.
School Days is special and noteworthy.
Sure but remembering the assistant animation director isn't my definition of a good time.
The incestuous family tree of studios or director, I'll look out for.
I'm not sure if your post was sarcastic was not. It's hard to tell sometimes
I'm not being sarcastic! I'm serious. You should at least try it.

I don't think it's possible to have a halfassed retread of that. School Days takes your whole ass, whether you like it or not.

There were a couple of edits in the episode where it wasn't clear if time has passed/how much time had passed. I hope that's not a warning sign for future episodes because an inability to properly convey the passage of time could be quite an issue.

Because its accurate
Also, your avatar really gives me heart spasms.
It hurts so good.
haha... was thinking about switching over to a Acchi Kocchi avatar
The potential T_T.
But I can't abandon yayoi!
first world problems.
Same here, the only thing I pay attention are seiyuu news.
just stick to learning directors, screen/scriptwriters and animation directors. the rest dont matter too much.
Wrong. Everybody matters!

I find this to be quite apt.

Once again we're all reminded that anime has already done everything, at least twice.

OH MY GOD THE CUTENESS CONTAINED IN THIS POST.
Honestly, Tsumiki is totally adorable, so an avatar of her would be a welcomed sight.

But her damn ahoge... 100x120 ain't enough T____T
You haven't been watching Kurenai, have you?

Princess Mononoke?
lol, just post the ahoge itself. It is an object of wonder.
easily up there with the school days family tree
As I said, I'm fine with knowing about studios and directors. I don't see the merit of going as far as memorizing someone like (borrowing from Jexhius' post) Rie MATSUBARA who's apparently in charge of editing in many SHAFT shows.
Let's not go that far.
Editing is important. Just ask Tomino. Better yet, ask anyone else.
Isnt it just an overall family tree from the studio that makes the games?
Like I remember one guy had children with his children or something. For multiple generations.

This is how you do a comedy, yes sir. Sharp pacing and editing, constantly moving from one gag to another, fun characters with great chemistry: it's really appealing. Shaft-isms work so well when they're executed with the confidence and comparatively lavish animation of this episode. (As a side note, one quirk which I haven't noticed in other Shaft shows but which showed up several times here is a camera view from underneath a character's feet, as if it were seeing through a transparent floor.) Arashiyama charms by her straightforwardness, Tatsuno provides a more crafty foil, and the unorthodox nature of the maid cafe they work in provides a setting ripe with humorous contrasts between expectations and reality. I'm going to have a lot of fun with this.
I'll let you in a secret: we don't memorize the names of everyone who ever worked on a show; Anime News Network has a handy database that allows us to look people up if we want to find out who directed that really cool episode or what the director of a show we're thinking about watching has done previously.

pretty much everyone's related to makoto's dad
The answer is very simple. It looks like this:
www.animenewsnetwork.com
Just look up staff lists and see what else it links to. No need to memorize anything!
They kinda don't in anime, though, hyperbolic posts aside. It seems to be an industry thing.
You don't think editing is important? =\
It's also worthwhile to memorize key animators too.
Indeed. I remember directors like Akiyuki Shinbo, screen/scriptwriters like Okada Mari and sometimes people like Takeshi Koike. I recognize the contribution of others since it's a team effort but I'm not going to memorise who they are.
Again, I recognize the contribution of others since it's a team effort but
All right, I guess with the help of ANN I'll reference some of the other staff sometimes as well.
But...IT HAS PANTY SHOTS AND CANT POSSIBLY BE GOOD.
Well, regardless of the impact of individually listed writers, the actual writing of a series certainly does matter.

When I saw this I thought of you guys.
If cajunator was an insufferable jerk and female, he wouldn't be too far from Kirino.
So I take it we're free to use this from now?
At this point you might as well skip everything between an OP and ED.
