To be honest I was kind of embarrassed by it. Dorm room with an open door policy, freshman in college, insecure, football buddies that ripped me down for it, etc. I realized it was stupid the next year and didn't care, but I just never got back into it.

Figured I've missed a few good shows over the past few years, so why not dive back in? Unfortunately I dove into the shallow end.

You can't go wrong with Gintama.

I assume its some trademarked character.
Japanese copyright still confuses me.

There's a link to a gif in this post I made in the "disturbing/creepy anime gifs" thread. There is a lady pulling a bazooka out of her cleavage as well, so maybe nsfw. No nudity, though.

You are getting a double warning. Be glad I didn't post some of the other ones I've seen.
Bazooka boobs seems normal for anime!

Was in a similar point when I was watching Mitsudomoe, and some others . But I've gotten over it now, hate my roommate anyways.

Still embarrassed that I really like Mitsudomoe though.

Another Episode 12

This went Higurashi crazy in the last two episodes.

Major Spoilers
Did they ever mention that Ms Mikami was MC's Aunt Reiko? They showed that flashback of her telling him to not treat her like his aunt at school, but I don't believe they showed that earlier in the series.

I'm not sure how I feel about the end.

I never got familiar with wideface until Madonka Magica.
Still can't get a grasp of that style. It can be so uggs....

embrace the wideface

I was watching the wrong wideface this entire time!
Think this deserves an add to the list.

If you must wideface, Hidamari Sketch wideface.

In fact, once it leaked that Gen Urobuchi was doing the script, Madoka was nicknamed "Chidamari sketch":

Pretty sure that was mentioned in the first few episodes.

The anime had so much potential, the cool OP the fun ED (Enjoy is a fun song with the visuals) that Im confused how it turned out like this. I felt it lost its way some way through in trying to make this entire training arc feel deep. Too many characters, not enough development, and not enough tennis, almost makes me want to give up the sports anime genre, if they are all like this. I did have some fun with it though, Echizen was always cool and Kintarou was just the best.

I actually enjoyed everything at the training camp thing at the end of the day, though the ending was baffling
they are just automatically accepted back and in a higher court then the people that beat them? what, thats kind of unfair to them

6 / 10, hopefully we get a season two or something, and well it didnt really convince me to try the manga, if that was their goal of the anime.

Chihayafuru 16

Standard flashback episode. Well done but uneventful.
not much to say about it.

Chihayafuru 17

Now we're getting somewhere.

After the group's
defeat, the train harder than ever, working on stamina as well as techniques. This episode brought to light Kana and Tsutomu's strategies, and Chihaya realizes that speed is not the true answer to becoming the Queen.
Lessons learned and more of that GORGEOUS MUSIC.

Hook this into my veins forever.
I honestly think this is going in my top ten favorite anime list. I love this so much.

I totally agree with you. The anime just ended abruptly. There were no high profile matches like in the original anime. In the original anime, the matches were tense matches that lasted a few episodes That is one thing I loved about the orignal. You should watch the original as it is MUCH better than this new series, but it is long (178 episodes). Another sport series I watched was Giant Killing. I thought that anime did a pretty good job as a soccer/football anime (24 episodes, I believe).

Well, now I want a second season. A second season where Chihaya can show who's boss at Karuta.
Some great facial expression in this episode, too.

Just finished up Rinne No Lagrange. It's alright for a transition to next season I guess.

Also just finished the last episode (finally) of Fate/Zero. I got distracted during the looong conversation that I spent more time fusioning weapons on Kid Icarus.

Pretty sure it wasn't revealed prior and was supposed to be a twist.
The flashback doubles as both plot twist and as explanation for the plot twist: Reiko telling Sakakibara to keep her roles as aunt and teacher strictly separate shows why there was no sense of familiarity between Ms. Mikami and Sakakibara.

I felt like the ending lived up to the rest of the show, for better and for worse.

The remaining shorts are much better. Don't worry.
 
Bakuman season 2 ep 25 (end)
tumblr_m1mm5dvLP21qbxqfpo4_500.png


Season 2 was just as good as the first really. I like this story. Like the first season when the final episode aired it was pretty emotional as its like weve been with them for so long and then were not with them anymore, as if it is some emotional parting with something youve seen grow and develop over time. They really went through a lot this season and Im so glad it paid off, especially for Saiko. Like Sket Dance, this is up there for my favorite longer running anime. 25 or so weeks without Bakuman needs to go fast as I cant wait for Season 3.

But on episode 25. Im so glad Perfect Crime
Party
ended up hvaing characters that dont look like Saiko or any others. That was a minor issue with some plots they thought of in the past with lookalikes. Sure the female still looks like Azuki, but thats alright.
Orihara returned and the new assistants were compelling, and lastly that first place finish was cool and so emotional, then with the montage playing while with Dream of Life and the grave, pretty well done.
.

monochrome rainbow, tommy heavenly is still my favorite ending theme for the anime.

Oh, nigglesnoosh. You know that by "some other jerk" I meant

Stop making me blush!


This page has a (colored) comparison shot between movie and mango that makes it a bit easier to discern what's going on there. (The accompanying blog also does a fine job of conveying what it's like and why it works, if anyone's curious.)

Not safe for anywhere, obviously.

I do enjoy your faux-attempt to warn people away from Midori, only to make them more interested in it.

Playing them all
just like you play me!

I concur.

Needs more robots and fighting. Preferably robots fighting each other.

Also, exploitation of the proletariat something something.

The problem is rinne doesn't know what it wants to be, but it is very very pretty to look at and the characters are really damned cute.
I left off around episode 7 but there does seem to be an underlying threat on the horizon.
