I tried... and I failed. This weekend, I was planning on watching two Doraemon movies recommended in this thread - Nobita's Dinosaur 2006 and New Steel Troops 2011. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like it's going to happen. I made it through about 20 minutes of Nobita's Dinosaur before I just lost interest and turned it off. Before that, I actually tried to watch the original 1980 Nobita's Dinosaur too, but I only lasted 10 minutes.
My conclusion is... I just don't enjoy watching Doraemon. Something about the entire setup is unappealing to me. The characters are too much like actual dumb kids, and the sort of slapstick comedy it uses doesn't work for me at all. Additionally, the premise feels very predictably like the sort of kids show where the protagonist consecutively does dumb shit which he will regret later, and the entire process is a build up to a "lesson" of sorts on the consequences of doing such dumb shit. I really find that sort of stuff boring, even when I was a kid.
So yeah, not for me. RIP.

Why not just draw something not obscene on the bike so they would not have to censor it?

Maybe. I think its more elaborate though. By having excessive censoring, they are tempting certain curious creatures to buy the uncensored bluray version.

I never really understood the notebooks. I was hoping there'd be more to these things other than being for merchandising but sadly I was mistaken. Thank god this no longer happens after this..... or was it in Splash Star too :/
She must have a thing for run-away kids. Appreciating your parents episodes are one of the most used "reasons" for an episode basically, because you know, Mother's Day and whatnot.
You're definitely seeing what I mean by the repetition.

Summer holidays are coming to an end. Nagisa thinks she's finished all her homework, but then remembers she still has to write a report on a theme of her choice. Helpfully enough, Akane suggests that the girls come with her to a pear orchard where the year's crop of pears are going to be harvested, so Nagisa decides to write her report about that.
As it turns out, the neighbours who were going to help the elderly couple out with the pear harvesting aren't able to make it, so the girls (and Akane) pitch in to get all the pears harvested in time. Whether Nagisa will actually be able to get her report written after tiring herself out with all that hard work is dubious, though.
tl;dr: It's sort of like the farming episode from the first series, except less interesting.

I was so sure you'd enjoy the dinosaurs too.
I mean, I can understand where you're coming from; I never liked blatantly didactic children's entertainment either. And it can't be denied that Doraemon as a franchise is based around that idea - Nobita gets into scrapes because of mistakes he's made and Doraemon bails him out and teaches him a valuable lesson and such. But I didn't feel like Nobita's Dinosaur 2006 went too far in that direction; it's more a light-hearted adventure film, especially once the kids go back in time.
Even if you can't muster up the will to watch the whole movie, you should at least check out some of the animation highlights from later in the film. There's some incredible scenes.

Understandable. It's definitely a different experience.
Makes me wonder what it would be like if Goodnight PunPun got the same treatment, a comparable series that I actually had to drop because it made me too uncomfortable and depressed.
Well, someone previously asked what was left now for Oreimo doujins...
So yeah, in other words, Flowers of Evil is one of the best shows I've seen in years. Truly outstanding. If, for some reason, you aren't currently watching it at the moment I implore you to go and experience the first three episodes of the series at least. Just...outstanding:
When I read the manga two years ago I thought man jexhius and his hipster posse are going to love this.
I too use to like aku no hana too bad it goes to shit later.

I'm glad they didn't paint Chamber as simply another AI capable only of following the "prime directive", so to speak. It paints him as rather human in a way. Able to learn, even.
Pinion getting mad with the spoils of war was what I thought they were gonna do with Ledo's character in the "what do I do with money" episode. You can see how it's gonna bite the newly-formed fleet in the arse as soon as Ledo leaves.
The ending didn't sit too well with me, though. It's too sudden of a revelation, especially after it had just been established that the Alliance was too far away. But y'know, wormholes and their unpredictability.

New mascot get!
So now we have a female counterpart for Porun. Her name is Rurun and she has the same awkward droopy face shape as Mipple, which gives her a pretty big boost in the "not-cute" stat. I certainly empathised with Porun at the end of this episode when he was all like "Help me-popo..."
Honestly I wish we could get rid of all these extraneous mascots and just keep Porun. Porun is the only one who is properly cute. And if a mascot is not cute, then what is the purpose of its existence? That's got to be like, the top required qualification on the mascot application form. How these other guys got hired I have no idea.
Also the Zakenna this episode was a giant insect. Ewwwww.

It always comes back to the space entertainment industry. But my favorite part is, was and always will be the massive amount of Rider references. Nyarko using a Medajalibur brought me so much joy. The idea of an "anti-violence barrier" is also highly amusing in itself. Poor ShoPhil vac, though. It'll get its moment in the spotlight soon, I hope. The Cuune problem seems to have been dealt with, setting up an OT3. But since it's a FFM OT3, I can keep having my yuri teasing that keeps my goggles shining bright.

They will never be happy until he hooks up with Misty.
But if I can't feel my crotch, why would I care about sex? They made a big deal about not feeling your crotch at the beginning.
Potato girl is loopy, and the cloud cuckoo lander is sometimes the best. You don't see the appeal of an Osaka? Besides, Potato girl gets plenty of serious time, too.
Suddenly feel like I've been insulted, heh.

I'd say that's certainly part of the initial set up and, indeed, I think one of the appeals of the movie is that the characters do act like stupid kids because that makes their exploits more interesting and exciting. However, with express regard to you bolded text, the main thrust of the movie is not about learning from your mistakes. It's far more of a light hearted adventure movie once you get about 30 minutes into the story.

I don't necessarily disagree with you but it's hard to justify that argument from episode ten alone because basically nothing happened. It may be 'dumb' that it took so long for so little to happen but the actual scenario was fine. It's the presentation, which has dragged a relatively simple idea into two whole episodes, that's the real culprit here.

Not really. If anything this will shaft the development of the already poorly developed Pokemon on his team since he'll just be using this boring ace over and over again.

I might have to watch this episode. Oh god I would have to resume Max Heart...

This is why Dokidoki is shit. Two episodes, same premise:
Smile: hey, let's have an episode where we battle the bad guys with bowling and go karts and shit because it's cool and why the fuck not?
Dokidoki: hey, let's have an episode where we battle the bad guys with bowling and dodgeball because Mana is a perfect morally-superior being and this is a nonviolent way to defeat the bad guys and Mana abhors violence ;__________;
TOEI DID YOU SERIOUSLY JUST TRY TO SAVE TWO FRAMES OF FACIAL ANIMATION
That frame thing doesnt look too bad. kind of stylish. Maybe I watch Shaft shows too much.
I doubt it. Ash's been a poor trainer for ages. No reason for him to start using a powerful pokemon in favor of his Heracross of the season for a change.

I dunno, aside from the fact that Sword Art Online sounds like the worst role playing game ever invented and its players and villain being sort of stupid, nothing really bad has come up. I mean, even that 2000 people have died so far makes sense.

Max Heart isn't that bad, especially if you've been divorced from the series for awhile.
It's still mediocre though.

I guess my ability to watch paint dry is just that limited.
That's not the Alliance. That's his old commander who "sacrificed" himself in ep1. He, like Ledo, obviously got thrown through a wormhole and ended up on Earth. He likely got to Earth before Ledo, and probably wasn't unconscious the whole time, so it looks like he built a cult army fleet somewhere else in the ocean, but now Pinion's stupid broadcast finally got his attention.
Gooo Chuuni!
You're probably thinking of Hyouka.
Hyouka clearly needed more Misaki!
I love muromi-san entirely. Cant wait to see next episode.
I like this cover idea
But Yeti is a dude. how can it be :SDBurton ?
It hasnt gotten that terrible- yet. At least Silica and Lisbest show up for like ten minutes.

PINION YOU DUMBASS.
Aside from that, a great episode as always.
PINION YOU DUMBASS.
No Pinion, you don't announce to the whole world that you've got a bunch of shit that everybody wants! Like that has never backfired on anyone.
Aside from that, a great episode as always.
Chamber's opinion on the war between the Hideauze and the Alliance was brilliant. I love how he formulated the opinion on his own to separate him from the alliance, it doesn't just make him a robotic character that only follows orders. Honestly, what he's saying is true.
The Hideauze are humans that abandoned civilization. They have evolved beyond humans and have become a different race entirely. The reason the Alliance fights against them is so humans can keep their civilization. A really unpredictable plot twist from an unpredictable character. That was beautiful writing.
Now Ledo's got his old Commander back, and with the way things look in the preview, I'm guessing the next episode is him unfortunately having to go back to his old ways, much to his displeasure.
