Oreimo has never been defensible. The best thing anyone could say about it is "its not really about incest!" If you have to argue that you've already lost.

Have watched lots of anime in the past month so I have lots to report. First I wanna say that, the first season of Gintama wasn't really funny and Gundam 0079 is fucking awesome.

I believed during S1 that it wasn't....but I was mistaken, severely mistaken. I wanted to pretend it wasn't but fuck the second season and light novels.

Reminds me of how they fumbled her last spotlight episode. Well not this episode exactly...
"They" are the same people as in this thread, you know.
Oreimo threads are an endless circle jerk of hyperbolic outrage and AnimeGAF regulars baiting said outrage for shits and giggles.

Pretty much.
It'll go to shit whether we get involved or not over false outrage that Gaming Side likes to do so often.

MJP 9
Everything here is so flat. Even the "relationship" above that they seem to pushing hard this episode.
The thing with syfy shows is that, since it's so hard to basically do anything new nowadays, especially if you are relying on tropes to evoke sympathy through familiarity, is that you better do it really well or you might as well not even try.
So
the fleet gets wiped out, there's a secret government conspiracy, and the MJPs are being used as propaganda tools
It's like that crappy K-ON-esque episode that they tried to do a few weeks ago and everyone already forgot.
It doesn't help that Yamato 2199 is relevant again, at least for the moment, and just serves as a reminder of how you can do this stuff well.
To think that precisely 765PRO are the ones that care the most about the well being of their idols. How can they say that?
I think BluWacky is pointing out our role in making those threads worse than they need to be, not saying that it doesn't matter whether we get involved or not.

Because it's game related!

Have you watched Natsu no Arashi!?

Unfortunately, even if we go in there without doing exactly what we're doing, what exactly can be done against people who judge things without actually looking at it?
Not bake I am disappoint
The only fond memories I have of the show right now is the god tier amazing ending to episode 12. The only other stuff I remember from it is me sitting through tons of dialogue that ranged from boring to very interesting. Or maybe this is just my recency bias talking since I did rewatch both Madoka and Soredemo very recently with a friend.
No yet. The only other Shaft stuff I watched were Hidamari S2 and Sasami-san which I dropped both of them very quickly.

Really? I keep hearing how much better S2 of Hidamari is. What about it made you drop it while keeping S1 ranked at 5?
Eh, you can do nothing instead of prodding the bee's nest, I suppose.
On that note, I miss icecream threads.

They should use this one instead of that one
Something like that was already posted.

Well they used a fanart picture, so that one is out.
Yay, it's finally upon us!

I hope they retcon her upgraded bum into the canon.
Season 1 is just #5 since I only ever completed 5 Shaft anime and so I had to put it somewhere.
From the episodes I watched, the second season felt more or less the same thing and had the same problems. Just cute girls talking about mostly uninteresting stuff with very slowing pacing and visuals not very engaging most of the time. I mean I love Hidamari gifs, but I can't go through another 13 episodes just for some few good scenes.

icecream threads were perversely (pun intended) more interesting because they tended to deal with games that weren't anime adaptations. With an OreImo game you know pretty much exactly what you'll get, but some of the weird porny strategy games that icecream used to post about had a mild curiosity value to them.
They all served the same purpose and ended in the same way, but at least they introduced the existence of games I'd otherwise be
blissfully
Only episode of this show I watched, but it was cute and funny.

Hidamari Sketch x365 (Season 2) is definitely superior.
This upcoming game will serve for new material.
I wonder how many people would immediately disavow any knowledge of ever having seen the series if they knew that she was supposed to be 14.
All I know about that Oreimo thread is that Chet Rippo gets all the best lines:
Chet Rippo gets all the best lines.
I still can't get my head around that. She'll always be in her 20s to me.

I liked the how she went to go for her dream, but I didn't like how they just brought back that part of her personality considering they threw it under the bus around the mid-season climax.
Thinking back to the ghost episode, I'm surprised Yayoi wasn't exactly crying her eyes out.

I sleep in until 2 and there's some sort of new amimu list thing, neat.

Quoting my request from the HappyenD thread.
I'm not sure exactly what I've just been vindicated on but that's never a good sign so.........*gulp*
This is not a question that should be posed to survivor but to all fine people of this thread.

Have you seen Natsume's Book of Friends?

I don't know about this "urban legend" stuff but Hidamari Sketch is the best SOL out there.
