Spring Anime 2013 |OT -7| My Giant CG Pony Can't Possibly Read This Much Baudelaire

That's most magical girl anime. :X

Nah, most magical girl anime put them in vague yurigoggles range, but tend not to commit to anything either way(except the occasional heterosexual relationship).

I guess Nanoha is a mild escalation of the former.

Then you have shows where the brakes start sliding off everywhere, like Mai Hime/Otome. <_<

I find fans who openly admit to having yuri fetishes criticizing shows for being "fujoshibait" to be so hilariously hypocritical.

No, no. That's the exact reason I dislike the concept of fujoshibait (even if I can enjoy fujoshibait): the lack of female characters! It's actually perfectly logical.

bad gameplay lol
Sometimes yuri can be the best only good part of a show, like say Ga-rei Zero.

Already done ages ago.

Though admittedly my first experience with the Magic Knight Rayearth story was the Sega Saturn game. :O

MKR actually feels like a videogame the way the anime was structured. I expected someone to say "its dangerous to go alone, take this!".
Actually, they sort of did.

Mai Hime does go straight off the road into yuriland. Rather impressively so.

[Diebuster]: 1 - 6

The only scene me was the "Ten Years Later" segment.

I was wrong to dislike this show because it wasn't enough like Gunbuster, it has a whole host of problems that have nothing to do with how dissimilar (or similar) it is to the original OVA.

Which isn't to say I dislike like it at all, just that it has a number of glaring issues which drag the whole thing down.

You missed out on all the excitement of wondering if the show would finish before they finalised the 2nd OP.

To be honest I stopped watching when I finally got to listen to the 2nd OP.
It was the only thing I was looking forward to :lol

I don't think anyone should go into that show expected a sequel or anything of that nature. That said, I certainly think it did things better and worse than the original.

Well the problem is that they bill it in that nature and they make lots of important deliberate connections to the old material which forces you to make that comparison even though it's not really appropriate.

I try to think of it as a sequel or successor to FLCL. Except without the memorable music. Except in those scenes where they borrow the Gunbuster score.

I think that's fine. I had no issues separating the two works. It's clear the goals and designs were different from the onset.

It's definitely more in line with FLCL and Gurren Lagann compared to say Gunbuster. Maybe my viewing order had a significant impact on what I thought of the show as I saw Die long after I've watched a lot of Gainax's later works.

Actually, they sort of did.

Fun note: the music for MKR was supervised by Koichi Sugiyama, the Dragon Quest composer.

Gunbuster and Diebuster are both the same, anyone can just watch the 4th episode of either series and get the only thing worthwhile from it.

This was a really good episode as well. Not as finely directed as the prior but still a lot of fun. Also the setup should be interesting from here. I've really enjoyed the series for the most part.

Gunbuster loses a lot of points from episode 3 being absolutely terrible; Diebuster's episode 3 is pretty great, on the other hand.

Nah, the third episode of Diebuster is the worst episode about the worst girl. You know this because she immediately becomes a practically irrelevant background character straight away!

That's wrong on both fronts, because you miss out on dat ending.
 
Completely on board with Gintama now after a few more episodes.

The way they went from a sad story about a dude being out of his daughter's life for 13 years to having to chase down and capture a purple alien octopus is what sold me. This can truly be about anything, and I like that.

Yamato 11-

This definitely has the best ED song yet. I really hope there is a good reason behind the
humans firing first because it seems like really shitty reasoning right now
. I think the show has done a fantastic job of fleshing out both sides of the war and the difference in culture.

Oh and can't wait for the security team leader to try raping someone.

I prefer yuri to straightshit, but I'm a sucker for shoujo-ish action shows in which a girl leads a group of men. Pretty much the only reason I watched a few episodes of the original Driland. The concept is kinda refreshing.

I prefer straight stuff to yurishit.

Btw was there a boxset announced for Yamato 2199? I was looking at the BD releases and a website seemingly mentioned that there was. Also Google Translate could have fucked up too.
