I agree, despite the initial scare I'd say we're more active than ever.
Where's that School Days chart again?

Well I certainly recommend sitting down and watching a couple more episodes, but your time is your time. The more infamous material doesn't appear until later on in the show and it's pretty hard to tell someone to stick it out until it gets 'crazy'.
Of course, most of the people who watched the show up until that point were watching the show because they enjoyed the initial set of episodes, so if they're not doing anything for you it might not be worth continuing.

What? WHAT? I was looking forward to one scene just one flipping scene and they basically cut it out. I even made a gif weeks ago in preparation but I didn't dare post it here because it would be a spoiler. I can't even tell if posting it now would be safe because the anime didn't show the ending properly.
This is a link to the gif in question. If you have read the manga and know the true ending all will be clear. Those who haven't may come to understand what those beams of light were at the end. You may have also seen it on another anime board that doesn't really give two cahoots about spoilers already.

Years of academy training wasted.

Well, we generally tried to avoid anything that goes anywhere near 5MB in size. Sometimes sacrifices have to be made!

Hmm, Miyazaki really is an ass. It's not like I wasn't aware of this already, but the people who work for Studio Ghibli clearly give so much of their for the sake of their art, you'd hope that he'd appreciate that a bit more.

Blood-C was so much better than Code Geass. There's Code Geass' brand of stupid and then their is Blood-C's. Blood-C also has the superior CLAMP character designs.
God damn.
Not you too. -_-
Do you live on an island with RurouniZel?
Because you've both missed the fucking boat completely.

Reasonably funny, but I'm not moe-ing over her like some people.
I have a feeling this is going to be my Yuruyuri of the season, in that I'll find it funny while it's running and watch it every week, but promptly forget about it when it's over.
Holy crap @ 800,000 views on NicoNico. Why is this so popular??
It'd not like it's online before the TV broadcast like Mirai Nikki.

I initially dropped Blood-C as well, but caught up because of various YouTube videos that piqued my interest.
Also, Code Geass is much longer than Blood-C, so there's a barrier of reentry.
We're getting desperate for some Yuri goodness. lol
I would be home right now watching more of Marimite if it wasn't for the fact that there's a quiz scheduled today for one of my classes.
Post pics when you and Femmeworth have costumes done for this axis of evil you're creating.

No I have not. Code Geass R1 was entertaining, but R2 was such a bore.

Unfortunately the Youth Healthy Development Ordinance Bill that has recently come into force has a subsection that explicity bans hair sex, which is why you don't see it around these days.

They seriously spent half the episode on a character from Excel Saga who was already a cameo of the director? That's... amazing.
Ah, well that explains it, :lol

Strawberry Panic 02:
Everything about this show is suffocating. The rigid social structure, the drama, the unbelievable delicacy and purity of the girls, the pesky cockblock clocks. I don't know how much more I can take. I'm drowning in frills and light piano music and old-world architecture. Need yuri NOW.
No place called Strawberry Hall could ever be witness to anything approximating an uproar.

Well, that's a shame. I haven't come across many folks who have enjoyed Fractale. I found the tonal inconsistencies to be a major hindrance to my enjoyment of the work from the first episode, but some people managed to put up with it a lot longer than I.
This is no bueno!

Wait. The director already had minutes and minutes of cameos in Excel Saga. He myst be really greedy.

Saki and Saki Achiga-hen are FULL of yuri subtext... very blatant subtext. There isn't actually kissing, but there's a lot of blushing and such, and more... and also, the series has a lot of potential yuri couples for yuri fans to subtext (some, as I said, very obvious -- Saki/Nodoka, Yumi/Momo, etc -- others potentially invented) -- it's not just a few characters.
Damn thats a lot of Yami to take in in a short time. Be careful!
BLood C is amazing, but Code Geass is AMAZINNNNNGGGGGGG.
See the difference?

Can't help but think this "Geass" entity is being overhyped.
I guess I had to be there when it aired.
I wasn't even there when it aired! I based this on a marathon of season one. It is truly an experience witnessing this anime. It just is.

Well that was stupid.
Is the show an actual serious relationship drama or is it slapstick?
I like lighthearted yuri like Yuru yuri a lot.
Could it really end any other way?
Of course it could. It COULD have ended up with Yuno looking like my avatar.

Come back and say that after you have watched R2. Then again, you will probably just say it's even more amazing. >_>
Actually, I am not enjoying R2 as much. I put it on hiatus 8 episodes in. Still like it but unlike season one, I don't LOVE IT enough to marathon it.
Yup. I couldn't believe my eyes when I figured they were going to repeat the whole sequence. Such a cheap move.
Jesus, hahaha. I wonder how their cats look like.

I don't believe it's possible overhype anime's saviour.
Probably because 'overhype' isn't a real world.
Just let it overtake you. Let the yuri carress your soul. Give into its advances and be free.

A world of 'overhype' is one that must never be thought into existence either.
You might have to, personally I wanted to get it over with asap.

Saki / Saki Achiga are mahjong series, at their core. They're about mahjong being played by groups of girls, many of whom subtext-yuri eachother. (Yeah, sure, we believe that Nodoka's blushing that much just because she wants to go to nationals with Saki... sure... no, not really.)
But no, they're not serious relationship drama stuff. The seriousness is largely about mahjong (and mahjong's more interesting than karuta, even if I still don't quite get the rules...). Most characters do have a serious side to their story, but it's never anything TOO serious, and there's often plenty of comedy. (Yuki can be pretty silly...)
It's a great franchise, I love both animes and the mangas too.
