Only maybe in it for the Hyadain OP.
It's alright, definitely gets me hyped.
I agree with what Reknoc told me on Twitter though, it does look generic, they could have done something somber.

I love it too... I'm going to read the manga and be sad its not animated... I love how at first the students did everything to get their teacher fired, then they do everything they can to help him.
I know it was mentioned that this is done by the Highschool of the Dead guy already, but it funny to me how apparent it was just from having seen a few episodes of HotD. The super violent SPLATTER BLOOD ALL OVER THE SCREEN screamed HotD.

There is nothing "somber" about an Araki show.
It's not an emotion he understands.
Oreimo S2 01
Everything I loved and hated (Kirino) about S1 is here. This show would be unwatchable if Kuroneko and Manami weren't there, but they most certainly are and it it wonderful as a result. I missed yall!
Save us she will. No worries.
Also I totally skipped the first minute and a half of the show just to be sure.
Why is there so little time in life and so much cute? I can't watch all this Cute.
Best team. Except Manami-bros. Those are cool too.
Well I suppose so, except like I said, Manami is pretty awesome. Maybe its a two team system.
Yes. Purple is the superior game console color. The main problem with 360, Ps3, and WiiU is that they don't come in purple. This was a glaring design flaw.

That's not even the girl he likes!

haha... that makes me a little worried for later stuff. Though I guess either way it'll likely be entertaining to watch!

We all know the world can't handle such a thing! It's been proven twice.
This is true. A lot of OtherGaf has the maturity of a baboon.
But that's ok. There's a reason for this thread to exist.
Ore S2-
I don't even hate Kirino. I hate this sack of shit main lead. He has nothing better to do than babysit his sister on a Saturday. He truly has no pride and just lets people walk all over him. He really represents the worst of harem leads. If someone took an X-Ray of his body, I would be amazed if they found a spine.
I do like the ClariS song a lot though.

Whats Azazel san?
Hope he repeats that in Attack on Titan, just remove the "chips" part
I still get caught up in that scene no matter how ridiculous it is.
Aza-what?
I didn't see anyone say anything about it yet, lol. I don't know what's airing when. I'm only going by episode impressions in this thread.
Agreed. He's a spineless fuck and he just needs to hook up with Kuro or Manami. Really can't go wrong with either one.
Oh well I don't agree that Kirino is not hated. She can go to hell.
I've been busy and the thread seems to have increased quite a bit in speed recently so I apologize if some of these responses seem a bit late to some.

At times I can sympathize with some here in that you look at the art in some shows and it's very noticeably of a lower quality, sometimes distractingly so, but other times some people seem to come across as really nitpicky by taking advantage of being able to go frame by frame through a show if they can.
Sometimes it's maybe just for fun or out of curiosity in a "here's what you may have missed" kind of idea but other times it seems like people are complaining and thinking a show is just awful because a few inbetweens that go by so fast that you can't even tell may have off art. Other times some art might be off and you can tell even in real time but it goes by in less than a second that I personally think "Who cares?". There's enough cases like that even in western animation.
I personally didn't cry during my watching of Wolf Children Ame and Yuki but it does stir up some emotions where you feel sad or worried about a character or maybe mad at another for what they do. You can feel quite happy or proud as well, it's not just negative emotions.
With that though, I'm certainly not some "emo" person nor am I big on "tragedy porn" but I actually quite like music that is often sad in tone. Where others might feel it makes them want to cry I actually think many of those pieces can be quite beautiful and relaxing.
An example might be Hepatica 3 from Xenosaga Episode 3. I actually quite enjoy songs like this. Instead of crying they actually make me relax as I mentioned or maybe even stir up some memories of when I went through the game or similar games or maybe even shows. I guess everyone is just different in how they can handle something.
I like Nonna the best but I didn't realize she was also supposedly the bustiest. With that though, it doesn't look like Katyusha is on that chart,haha.
Haha, usually I'm later to responding about something so I often don't want to retread on familiar ground but I guess sometimes the reinforcement of ideas can be a good thing and Little Witch Academia is pretty good, so I just felt like further emphasizing the general consensus this time.
Someone needs to train their pets to speak Japanese so they can say "Okaerinasai goshujinsama" when they come home after a days work or schooling, haha.
That first picture makes me think "Kunka Kunka" haha.
I'm also aware of her bigger bust, yes. I don't think I've seen that artwork of her before though.
Yeah, I might listen to the latest podcast actually just to hear your final thoughts on the different shows you watched.
I personally still quite liked From the New World despite it's problems and Crazy Canuck seemed to feel that way from listening to the fourth episode. He seemed to like Psycho Pass more than me but also seemed to agree with a lot of people here that despite it's interesting premise there was a lot of problems in it's execution. That and the quotes or book references just came across as so thin with how they were trying to be deep but wound up coming across as the opposite with how forced or unrelated to events they were.
At least Psycho Pass will be remembered for giving us the name "Spookie Boogie", haha.
Have you tried giving them the "firehawk challenge" yet where you have to watch the first episode of every available show wasn't it? It might be kind of funny if the idea of :firehawk caught on a well since they already seem to be aware of mono no aware.

Irisu > Chitanda
But Misaki still tops them all.

I don't think either of them would want to suffer through every first episode of a season. Probably for the best. lol
Speaking of which...
Even scrubbing through OreImo S2, I was reminded that I fucking hate all the characters and the entire premise. The fact that they did what amounts to a premise sophomore season premiere episode and kept everyone in stasis makes me hate the show even more.
The shitty thing is that in a post-SAO world, OreImo isn't really the worst piece of otaku excrement out these days. In fact, it almost feels quaint and obsolete. Like a Playboy from 1960 or something.
We just got started. I'm sure the rabbithole goes much deeper with both. The Kirino not being bloodrelated is surely coming and all the drama surrounding that should be delicious.

Except that just sets them up to be together which is horrible and wrong.
:lol Why did he insist so much on this in the anime?
Yea, it's pretty rare for me to say this, but I hate this OP. Feels like a bunch of monkeys throwing shit at a wall and hoping it works.

This was more fun than expected, and has the mermaid voiced by the great Yukari Tamura. Will probably only continue watching because it's 12 minutes.

Potato girl version.
They're still going to end up together related or not, just a question if they use the copout or have the courage to win.

I apparently didn't pick up this meta component.
Why do you like Kirino? I'm actually curious. what about her character is even remotely likeable? I cannot think of a single solitary thing.

Cant understand all the Attack on Titans hate. I'm pretty excited about this.
What? Nobody's hating it. Quite the opposite actually.
I don't think anyone hates it. Just the OP is a little, eh
Oh shit, I was intrigued by the video someone linked before but I am sold on this.
On a side note, I finally finished series 1 of Lupin today. It was overall watchable but aside from a few episodes, it wasn't particularly memorable.
Also started on Polar Bear Cafe after its praise in here and it's pretty good. Panda ranks the lowest out of all of them though. Could do with some more Polar Bear and Sasako.
It's all been downhill in the monkeys-throwing-shit department after Araki's Death Note OP2.
15-minute comedy anime by the great Tsutomu Mizushima.
The song is kind of neat.
Visually its all over the place and not the most pleasant to look at.

Naw, in 2013, people who need to emotionally fap and self-insert themselves into a power fantasy already have SAO.
Yep, classic sophomore slump. In a way, it's almost refreshing to see a show do this old fashioned 80s sitcom thing of just resetting everything and pretending that the characters are exactly the same.
Honestly, I don't trust any of that to happen until the final episode. And even then, since they're doing that weird 13+3 thing, I bet that only happens in the off-air episodes that will be streamed on the internet instead of on the episodes that are part of this broadcast.
I think the only way that happens is if people can pay studios to make them the main character of a harem show.
In fact, that seems like the natural extension of the YomeColle business model. lol

Kirino is smart, athletic, hard-working, dedicated, loving, pure and passionate.
Just because she treats the MC like shit doesn't mean she doesn't have good qualities.
The song is dope though
