That's really fucking scary that someone actually did the math for that.

It's all about the details I suppose. Haha.

Ah, so I see the equation now:
I can definitely see the appeal (since those are the two best Shaft characters!). You basically have simple ghost stories, but the ghost is more of a troll than the ghost girl in Natsu no Arashi.Take Sayoko Arashiyama:
Add Senjougahara:
And you get Yuuko:
.
(Of course, they also have the same hair cut!)
I also quite liked this shot:
Not only does it divide the frame, but of course, it also evokes the
broken mirror
That said, at times, the show does feel like "Junior Shaft", for better or for worse. I'm mostly indifferent to it, mostly because of how used to it I am. At least it doesn't slap you in the face with it like BakaTest S2 did.

Last skit of YuruYuri's 5th episode. It's a different (better) show for that span of time.
D'aaaaaaw.
I liked this quite a bit, but I will say that (a) it kind of runs out of steam toward the end, unlike Yuruyuri which ends in maximum hilarity, and (b) a good chunk of its funny is parody/otaku/2ch humor, which I love personally, but YMMV. I'd say it's not as universally accessible as Yuruyuri.
Yuruyuri is just plain hilarious. As far as pure comedy goes it's top tier. Every time I thought they'd played out a character schtick, they came up with some new clever way to use it.
On the other hand, as far as adorable and sexy moewaifus go, Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai is in the lead, at least if you're like me and favor Buriki's art over the simplistic look of Yuruyuri's characters.

I'm still waiting for an audible demo of Rider/Archer wake-up talk!
I wouldn't put this in the same 'moeblob' bracket as Yuru Yuri and Milky Homes, but I would reccomend it anyway.
I often see A Channel mentioned whenever Yuru Yuri is talked about.

Because A-Channel is the better show.
I stopped watching that at around episode 4, no idea why, was nowhere near as offensively bad as the stuff I've actually watched to completion.
Funny thing is I watched the OVA's that released recently, w00t backlog addition. -_-

I happily carried on and then curled up in a fetal position for several days.
Can't argue against that, Tooru was just awesome.
Loved the moments when she would slap Yuuko's chest. Haha!
Where's that boob slapping gif when I need it. It was an alright show that kinda grew on me with time. Run being wacky was what kept me on it.
^Damn Animegaf is always on point

It would do well, but would it do as well?
Only God knows. I would like to believe it sold well because it's a good show.
Pizzaroll would hate this show.

It's funny that you say that, because those top-down shots are something I associate with SHAFT (usually for money saving purposes).
Firehawk, we don't always agree, but when we do agree, we really, really agree.
You've finally helped me realize why I see Yuuko as such amazing waifu material even though I'm ambivalent about the show. She's Hitagi and Sayoko's lovechild.
Only thing I get from this is that Saeko is hot, and that there's somebody with too much time on their hands.

I kind of feel that Rinne failed, because it was certainly a better show than many other successful properties, but I am not entirely surprised either.
This review makes the movie sound dangerously normal!

I feel like I have become dangerously desensitized to crap like this.
Just keep watching the show.

There's nothing dangerous about it. You're just more open minded than you used to be. That's a good thing.

It's clearly because it's an important aspect of her character!

This is a rule that applies to the queen blade universe only ...
i guess if seikon no qwaser had brestplates , they'd go down as quickly as they do in queen blade..
Any time I see a picture of Saeko, I remember she is one of the hottest fictional character I will ever see.

So, after a month of waiting my Emma DVD boxsets arrived from America. I still don't understand why, I as a British citizen have no choice but to import this series from another country, but I'll live with it. Customs were generous enough to throw a charge on it as well, totalling roughly 40% of what I had already paid for the product but that's the kind of stuff you have to accept if you want to legally own a show.
The DVD packaging is pretty standard but at least it has some nice artwork on it. Unfortunately my box managed to get bent during transport, which I am not thrilled about.
I was pleasantly surprised to find that both boxsets come with a supplemental book which features art work from the show and a glossary of terms. I would have preferred something along the lines of interviews with the staff who worked on the show, but that's I realise that's just a foolish dream. There's a pretty short one at the back, but I would have liked more.

Hey, if they can't make a great figurine, you can't sell merchandise and there's no way to secure funding for a show. Sounds like it's pretty important!
The original Queen's Blade will for all time be remembered as the embodiment of the "armor rating" meme. It also features the most nonsensical piece of "heavy armor" of all time. It's glorious.
With supersonic boobs there's no way she wouldn't be!
We all know that Queen's Blade has established a comprehensive set of alternative physics principles for its universe. It must simply be that the double dome is the geometric shape that distributes force most poorly in their world. Anime science is still a burgeoning field of study and strange and fascinating insights are being discovered all the time!

Wow, so many things happened in this episode.
Also, Lemon is such an awesome character

Kaori is pretty weird. She hasn't met Kaito is years and she is acting all emotional about it? There has to be more to it. Her sidekick is pretty hilarious especially when she wanted to rape Tetsurou.
Mio, what are you doing? That's like totally the opposite of her personality.

It's no meme, that's the point of the Queen's Blade books that the anime are based on. You damage your opponent to make them lose clothes/armor so you can see them undressed and distressed.
I'm not surprised, but I'm specifically talking about this:
Ah yes, Queen's Blade, source of quality D&D jokes the internet over.
Speaking of Queen's Blade: Rebellion, Sentai just announced that they've picked up the license for it. (They also got Medaka Box yesterday, for anyone who cares.)

some of the better fanservice animes.
I'm not the biggest fan but I like the first Rebellion episode.

I think that's because it's pretty hard to know exactly why one show didn't sell very well and extremely easy to explain why you, personally, did not like it.
Just out of curiosity, why have you decided to become familiar with Queen's Blade?
