I hope you aren't basing that on the crossover episode because that one sucked, especially compared to Gintama's.
Yamanobe episodes get pretty close to Gintama quality.

Clearly those folks don't appreciate good anime.

When you go from the director of Card Captor Sakura, Nana, and Chihayafuru to the director of, er, Bubblegum Crash, I would expect a downgrade.

Give it a few months and you'll have a whole new backlog full of haremshit.
While true, I didn't expect it to change that drastically.
then again, the second series of Someday's Dreamers pretty much had a complete art shift as well from the very soft and airy artwork of the original.
This is a good idea. the series was excellent. The music in it is beautiful as well. The whole show has a slightly disturbing vibe but that's mainly due to the subject matter of having little girls be trained killers. It never goes into the realm of tasteless though.

That's a great choice. Gunslinger Girls is certainly one of the most notable 'good shows in spite of it's silly premise' in anime that I can think of. I mean, the potential for it to be a totally stupid failure are so apparent, especially within the real of anime, but the team at Madhouse that created the first season 1 really nailed the right tone and atmosphere. It's quite astonishing.
From now on, what I start in that season ends in that season.

Well, at least you were warned.
Why do the designs have to be so uninspired?
I still have the cloth art poster hanging on my wall. It is a really beautiful piece of work.
That series really stuck a chord with me. Like as if Leon the Professional was not only limited to that one girl but there was a whole government agency designed to create these types of killers out of young women. And then the realization of how cold blooded and inhuman they are when on the job, contrasted with how they try to just be normal little girls when they aren't working.

This isn't true at all. Just check out the OP.

Yeah. There's still the occasional great show that slips through the cracks for various reasons, but you can rest assured that around 80-90% of new shows will be made accessible in a very short amount of time. There's been a pretty big shift even within the last year.

Are you going to share?
Kind of, but only in comparison to (potentially) great seasons like this. I consider the last two seasons to be distinctly average.
A really bad (or lame) season might have only one good show in it, which has certainly been the case in previous Summers.
Classy fanservice is best fanservice. Soredemo was Shaft at their most restrained.
Yeah, this is kind of bullshit. no season has ever only had one good show unless you have impossible standards.
Every season has had at least a handful of things worth watching.
But that's an h-manga.

Wait, does Korra really need it's awareness raised any higher than it currently is? It's not like some niche shoujo airing on noitaminA.

I wouldn't assume that there's a direct correlation between the amount of anime people watch and the amount of posts they make. Lots of people are so rude that they watch anime without even bothering to write about it in this thread.
Unforgivable.
Summer 2010 suggests otherwise.

I just scanned through the OP and, while there are a couple skirt flips, they don't go high enough to actually see any panties. Typing that makes me feel like such a pervert.
I don't know. Looking back, Summer 2010 had Shiki and, uh...

I really don't know what I'm looking for in SpaceBros, but I'm looking forward to it.
I hope it isn't too laid back, but I'm not hoping (or expecting) jam-packed space action either.
I was very sure he meant those who post most watch the least.

I guess now is as good a time as any to watch Chihayafuru. I hope someone gets the Brennend Kryzel in this Falken game they're playing.
I know what I'm looking for in it; the majority of the show being based on the dog.
I hope the dog doesn't die.

I think the high number of people with a single post in the thread is far more interesting than the wall of shame.
I more meant that it seems like some of the people who post the most watch the least, which I don't mean as a slight in any way.

I don't want to sound like a pervert, but you're wrong. Don't make me screencap this.
And now you know why everyone says to avoid it.
Ouch. At 3,089 copies sold, I think that makes Flower declaration of your heart Vol1 a failure!
Did PapaKiki v1 sell more? I think I just won a bet.
Midori Shoujo Tsubaki
Well, this was something.
what was it? I guess you could say it is the fucked up story about a young girl forced into life with a circus troupe and how she grows up dealing with it.
The imagery as you'd expect is gruesome and distrubing, but honestly, I must be desensitized because it wasn't the horrorshow I was expecting. Yes its really really fucked up but it could have been even more sadistic than it was.
the show starts out with Midori and her mother.
Indeed, Midori ends up going through absolute hell. She
One day, an
From this point on, a lot more weird shit happens, but I'll just leave off with a few thoughts:
This was a disturbing show with fucked up imagery, but it did make sense. It was to the point and not hard to follow, with the short run-time and only towards the end of it did it get confusing a little, although
Was this enjoyable to watch? not really. Would I recommend it? Well if you like horrific things, yes, but I honestly don't think this movie is awful enough to go on "the list".

Midori's mother falls ill and dies terribly. Her father having already been gone. Midori had been selling flowers and doing what she could to survive up till the point where she meets a mysterious man. The kind of man who has a rape van with candy painted on the side.
is repeatedly raped and tortured by very cruel circus freaks, and witnesses all manner of unpleasantness. She soon learns to live with those things and eventually has a seemingly decent existence.
unexpected man shows up. a Dwarf who uses the power of illusion to great effect. He eventually takes over the circus with his power and influence. He also falls for Midori.
This was a disturbing show with fucked up imagery, but it did make sense. It was to the point and not hard to follow, with the short run-time and only towards the end of it did it get confusing a little, although
its up to the viewers discretion how this actually ands and whether it was all an illusion by Midori or not.

Confirmed: Japan has bad taste.
I think the manner in which it's executed also makes it one of the few anime shows with a legitimate claim to the term "deconstruction."

You just forbade me to watch this and you return with a review!?
You and icarus are in cahoots!
Hmm, I'm not very sensitive to horrific things, but the premise doesn't seem all that interesting. Think I'll skip, regardless of my puny curiosity.
Will you watch the stream with me? I don't want to be alone...
What time is it?

It looks HORRIBLE.
Curiosity got the better of me.
I hadn't seen it up till that point, but honestly I don't think you would enjoy this at all.
I do have to say I'd rather watch Midori than Eiken, because at least Midori has a story to tell, as fucked up to hell as it is. Eiken is just ridiculous fanservice shit that doesnt go anywhere or say anything.
