GoT doesn't glorify the act though (see Joffrey).

Ashiya seems to spend a lot of time on this show being sick.That's too bad, he's a really great character.
It's like Kakashi got to him or something
You should try telling my sister that.
I can only eat chicken sandwiches at fast food places. burgers are just gross.
Unless its a specialized grille burger from some local place maybe.

this a horrible post and you should feel bad. I still like you, but you need to sit in a corner and think about what you've done.

Truniht truly has the devil's luck.
This was quite the introspective episode, but with some lighthearted moments. Mittermeyer beating up that awful Baron was definitely a highlight. And meeting up with his wife is very heartwarming. I hope this couple remains unscathed by the die of history.

Oh of course Fuko's the bottom of the rankings. She's my favorite story for the feels, but as a romantic interest ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
Kotomi all the way.
Someone recommend me a short pre-digital OVA series and I'll watch it tonight. I'm feeling spontaneous.
The translation of the UY version that I've been crawling through was merciful enough to leave the tic out, but after six or seven episodes I picked up on it myself and now I can't unhear it
Which recommendation I pick is entirely up to me!

Fire Emblem OVA. Two episodes of unfinished 80's fantasy anime goodness.
Digimon World Movie - the original japanese one not the frankenstein american version
Regulus Tera
Romanes Eunt Domus

Twilight Q. The first episode isn't particularly special, but the second is a fascinating surreal Oshii concoction.

Amazing how both this and Pop Chaser managed to be so good despite not showing the "goods". And it's well animated, but that's redundent.
Let me beat Awakening first!
Will be totally lost if I've never seen a single episode of Digimon?
Perhaps if I'd asked earlier in the day.
I don't know if I'll be able to adequately appreciate this since the only Oshii work I've seen is Gosenzosama Banbanzai.
I can multitask!

Twilight Q: Mystery Article File 538 would be a great way of beginning to rectify this situation. It's a short concentrated dose of Oshii that certainly doesn't require familiarity with any of his other works. It's got a plane turning into a fish! You can't miss out on that.
Probably because it's always shown to be a bad thing? I mean, who has had incestuous relations or inclinations so far in the show?
Cersei, Jaime, and the Targaryens? Cersei is the evil queen, Jaime is going through some major penance, and Aerys and Viserys Targaryen were mad. Dany might be, Joffrey definitely is, and while Tommen and Mircella appear fine, one never knows.
Pretty sure GoT has always portrayed it as a bad thing.

Kyou is brilliant. In a show where almost all the female teens have somewhat of a shy persona around them, she's a real refresher with her personality.
We need more after story ;___;

Tomoyo is clearly the best, but Kyou is a good runner-up.

Gargantia on the Verdurous Planet 4:
Good character based episode. The conversation between Ledo and Bebel was highly enjoyable, and presented both some interesting cultural information about the setting, as well as posing some important questions to Ledo, and highlighting the differences in mentality between times of war and peace. The reaction to the rain was something that I wasn't expecting, but made a lot of sense. I think this show has done a great job so far at building its world and having the characters reacting to situations in ways that make sense for their perspective.

Listen to this man.
It's too bad that the anime couldn't properly adapt their VN routes.
Breaks my heart. Poor Manami.

OniAi > OreImo. I'm afraid OniAi tanked, though. Too bad, that was a really fun show.

The first half was alright, I didnt think they were that bold
The rest was just really awkward and uncomfortable.

The rest was just really awkward and uncomfortable.
licking her hair, nibbling her ear, licking her neck and more, just really not what I wanted out of this anime and wish I had been forewarned so I could have just skipped it. That could have been saved for an ova especially since it developed nothing at all

Honestly, I'm actually shocked that
OreImo went full incest. Even OniAi "copped out" by revealing that they weren't related.
Yep. Oh well.

People who actually have siblings, opposite-sex ones particularly (as, yes, I do), of course would be extremely unlikely to have any interest in incest stories. They'd know how stupid the concept is. Pretty simple.
While possible, this is unlikely, and is surely rarer than the above category.
And this is something that only an infinitesimal number of people would actually think. Oh come on, that happens so rarely that it's barely even worth mentioning.
You haven't seen... uh, what was that (tv) anime a few years ago, with the incest sex ending... have you.
Okay, if you insist, but you're the one who said that it ends like Usagi Drop! Everyone knows exactly what that means, and you didn't spoiler it.
LNs are the Japanese equivalent of Young Adult novels, and you're looking for good writing?
Yeah, this really is the difference.
This is anime for otakus. It was never going to be the former of those two, and that was obvious right from the beginning (I watched the first episode of S1 of Oreimo and then dropped it; the ending was blatantly obvious right from the start.).

You need to take a journey and try as many different burger places as you can. Come back a changed person.
How can one man be so wrong
Yeah, but it did so really early on. And that's part of what it made so funny. Because all but one character knew what was really going on the whole fucking time. Not to mention OniAi is actually a comedy.

Katanagatari 9
On the sword side of things, a fairly plain episode. One of the more reasonable opponents Shichika has faced (possibly the most reasonable of all), but unfortunately so set in her ways that she refuses to fight an unarmed man. Since Shichika's fighting style relies on being unarmed, he was decisively handicapped for most of the episode, and in fact was only able to win the battle at all due to

The sword itself, too, was by far the most plain we have seen so far, to the point where the characters considered that its ordinariness could actually be its defining feature. An interesting paradox, to be sure, but again, not one that made for an awfully interesting episode in terms of action.
The lacklustre action in the episode was, however, made up for by Togame's growing paranoia that Shichika was spending "quality time" of a different sort with his latest enemy. Her rising jealousy through the episode was entertaining to watch, and culminated in

in the hands of Emonzaemon and his mistress, that just leaves one remaining blade unaccounted for. The end of the journey draws ever closer...

lose another of their number at the hands of Emonzaemon, who made some rather unsubtle but effective usage of another of the three remaining blades, this one in the shape of a pair of handguns. These Maniwa really do just keep dropping like flies.

um, I think I have an idea which show you're talking about, I don't remember the name of it or the characters actually as I've only seen some scenes of it, I think their parents were dead or something like that and it had quite explicit scenes (as it can get on TV I guess), I think it had some kind of bad/sad ending though.
