It had its ups and downs, but some eps were really good, like the flower viewing ep, the Makoto ep, and the detention ep.

It means he abandoned us and left us at duckroll's mercy.
So that's why MJP and DS2 was getting recommended?

He hasn't even posted that much.
Their child will be so kind.
Now I feel especially bad playing up Yu-Gi-Oh! Season 0 when I could have offered you something legit good instead.
Nah. Duckroll hype has been an institution from time immemorial and will exist in perpetuity; the unmoving bedrock upon which the thread stands.

Guess secondary comment.
Why do I feel like that I might be compelled to marathon more....?

This is cool character design? Looks like its from a Neptunia game.

We need more people in here spreading the love of Detective Conan for all to see. That is my goal.

Those look like it's from Neptunia? lol... I guess I can see the resemblance. "see"....
Arjuna was a masterpiece ahead of its time.
Watch Kure-nai or DMC. I've been meaning to start Jewelpet anyways.
It's the eyes yo. THE EYES!
I've never seen any of them but I know that Sora no Woto is about music. lol.

It would get expensive since we would have to hire a doctor to live with us since there would most certainly be a Hidamari-dedicated room.
There was a girl voiced by Miyukichi in the game, if there's any chance she's in S2 I'll watch it without any question.

We have a deal.
Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 is mediocre. Watch Crest of the Stars.
I'm saying that I can barely see the resemblance. I just couldn't put my thumb on what.

Both are cool designs.
Arjuna tried to warn us! We just wouldnt listen
Kiddy Grade-- Final
Did Lumiere just get taller, or did Eclair just get shorter? OH SNAP LUMIERE GREW UP!! OH SNAP THE BIG GUY SAID WORDS! Really? REALLY? They give me adult Lumiere for like, less than a minute then back to awkward child Lumiere? HA. RUMPH.
My request, Alv, is that you please cover your anus-eye. That's really all.
AHAHAHAHAHAHA. HER ONE WEAKNESS IS ZOOLANDER'S!! SHE'S NOT AN AMBITURNER!!
So, that's that, then. I think that
No idea what those babbies at the end were about, either. Good throwback to the first episode of the series, too.
So, Cajun. I can honestly say I was surprised by the series. I'm not gonna call it the best thing ever, and I feel that the wide face, constant upskirts, and occasional and awkward Lumiere fan service hinder what was otherwise a compelling plot. HOWEVER, I do think that it HAD a compelling plot, with a lot of fairly interesting, unexpected science fiction questions which it did a competent job of developing. Namely, the theme of Eclair being young forever worked out magnificently, as did the spiraling plot within a plot business, leading to the giant robot built by space racists.
What it lacked, though, was a more compelling villain. Alv was kind of set up as the villain, but she just wasn't developed enough for me to really feel it. Still, the show was good, enjoyable fun.

Final Eclair looks pretty cool, but not as cool as First Eclair with the cape.

It's up for discussion because I put it up for discussion. Telling me what to watch is a privilege I'm granting you, not a right!

Haven't seen Tokyo Magnitude and I've never even heard of Crest of the Stars, so I'd go with the ever so awesome Sora no Woto!
Then I am invoking said privilege and compelling you to watch one of the best anime stories ever in Crest of the Stars!

Honestly, I didn't think Sword Art Online was all that bad. It just... should have been
more of
Sword Art Fighting Online
and less of
Stupid Ass Drama Shit Online
All of my rage towards the series goes to the half baked battle sequences. Even more so than the cousin love. They set up for a few of them so well, and the first boss battle wasn't half bad... but then after that point it was like FUCK COME ON I WANT TO SEE SOME ACTION
Like that Santa Claus boss fight. They do a good job of making the boss really menacing, and then right when Kirito goes to smack him like a bitch it fades to white. What, was a short battle sequence going to ruin the "drama"?
Kirito would be a decent character if he had a real inner conflict worth a damn. I mean, even in the light novels (especially in the light novels?) he's a little shit and a pretty princess who gets everything he wants.
Fuck. I hate this show. (Will watch next season regardless because it has guns and new heroine)
Kotoura-san 01-05
You guys are right, that opening was totally unintentionally hilarious. I just found myself laughing at it, even though it was super serious and depresado. Something inside me just wanted to see Kotoura keep being all lonely and stuff, instead of the show turning into the romcom it was destined to be.
Manabe is tropified into the good ol' chivalrous pervert. That's okay, at least Kotoura's fairly tolerant of his shit.
What's up with the VP with the duckface. Although, I did think it was kinda funny how his eyes do it too, hah. three threes.
Seems like la presidenta has her ulterior motives! I don't know if I'd really like seeing her become the antagonist, she's my favorito right now.
Also Corvo, I'm going to be here in the Fall semester, so we should totally do something anime-related and junk.

I was so disappointed with the 75th floor boss fight. Ugh.
Seraphis Cain
bad gameplay lol
Oh man. You're getting close to the part that kinda ruined AnimeGAF's reputation in the rest of OT. :lol Also the part that ensures I'll never recommend Kotoura-san to anyone ever, despite how much I actually liked it.
Why'd you have to make that thread, moejita? ;_;
Why show something that can't fall in love with Kirito?

It's been on really high on my to watch list ever since it was brought up here, honest! It's just I was watching Heartcatch at the time and I've got Utena now and man backlogs suck. Really the hardest part is thinking of something I'd want ya to see that you haven't seen already.
Utena 19
Poor guy.
I've got to stop putting my foot in my mouth, almost every time I'm dissatisfied with something in a show the very next episode it rectifies it! So yeah this was a nice break in the formula of this arc and its always great when an episodic show secretly gives you a two parter without telegraphing it way ahead of time. Also nice to see that
Saionji is back
sora no woto!
And a very fine illustrator they are!
A Hidamari dedicated room? That would like the killing fields. none would survive.
Glad you gave it a chance and ended up enjoying it. I agree on the ending and the main villain being a bit weak, but I feel the same about the rest of it. It was a highly enjoyable sci fi space romp. Perhaps it was a nice distraction from some of the horrible anime you have subjected yourself to recently. poor corvy-kun.
Oh yeah and AVOID KIDDY GIRL AND.
I keep repeating it because it must be heeded. Unless you want to take all the goodwill you just built up over 24 episodes and set it on fire and flush it down the shitter. Kiddy Grade deserves to be loved forever, so avoid Kiddy Girl And.
Aw, what? I liked it.
Speaking of Famiglia...
Has there ever been a good instance of "fade to white" in lieu of animating an actual fight?

Is it hypocritical that they are allowed to show naked silhouettes of fourteen year old girls, but Chibiusa doesn't get a real henshin? If you are gonna be that risqué you might as well go all the way.
Because if there's one deviancy Sailor Moon hadn't explored yet, it was shotas.
I thought it was pretty weird how Haruka got jealous of Michiru getting a boyfriend. It's not like she's in love with her cousin or anything!

You got me there. And I don't want to be all negative so one thing I will say in favor of Omigawa is that I simply cannot imagine anyone else playing her role in Soredemo. That one was absolutely inspired casting and a match made in heaven.

Notice the irony in how
the genuinely prince-like characters in Utena are the ones that always get stomped on

Now that I think of it, Klein must have been saved and brought to a hospital by the pizza guy, because didn't he say he lived all alone and no one would have noticed him gone?
yes.
Feels bad that I can summon that kind of verbosity to rant about the ending to a bad otome game adaptation but not to critically analyze/praise something actually good.
I secretly enjoy going back and reading my meltdown :lol
So anyway, its time to watch the infamous Date a Live. I want to see how cute Yoshino is. I already skipped ahead and saw how much of a goddess Kurumi is but I need some context because I didnt understand what was going on. Also see if this Origami is as great as people say.
See you on the other side of it.

So what you are saying is they tried, but they ran out of time! lol anime industry
edit: oh hey, I just noticed Chibiusa uses MOON PRISM POWER, just like Usagi back in the first season. That's cool!
