Well from personnal experience , it's not that Obvious .

Wait kurosagi ? he is not snarky .. arrogant, sure but snarky ? i don't see it.

Well some Counter-exemples are required i think:
  • Accel world
  • Baccano
  • Campione
  • Chrome Shelled Regios
  • Cube x Cursed x Curious
  • Dai Densetsu no Yusha no Densetsu
  • Dantallian no shoka
  • Durararara ( fair enough , too many characters and perspectives but none of them fit )
  • Highschool dxd
  • Kaze no Stigma
  • Kokoro Connect
  • Kyoukai Senjou no horizon
  • Maoyuu Maou Yuusha
  • Nogizaka haruka no himitsu
  • Oda nobuna no yabou
  • Pap no Iu koto o Kikinasai !
  • Read or die
  • Rental magica
  • Saiunkoki Monogatari
  • Slayers
  • Spice and wolf
  • Sword art Online
  • The twelve kingdoms
  • Zero no tsukaima

I consider snarky Those from the definition above :


Or those with the capacity to argue back vocally or not ( at least to the audience or to the narrator) about the events happening on numerous occasions so that it becomes part of their character.

Now that said :
Last time i argued semantics here ..i was faced with a "All anime are harem" Final answer . ..

I swear to god , if i meet with a " All Anime main characters are snarky " argument i swear i'll never argue about those ever again on #animegaf

All Anime main characters are snarky

This bastard never learns, poor Sekai.

Wait...

Congratulations!

Edit: Also why are you mad at Kotonoha?
Out of everyone she is probably the most "innocent". Heavy emphasis on the quotes

She's an enabler. Had she kicked Makoto in the nuts when she had to none of this would have happened. Then the whole self-pity arc was terrible. And her going back to Makoto and her attitude were disgusting. Mind you everyone in this show is disgusting in a way except maybe Makoto's friend which Kotonoha treated like shit. She had sex with him and at the sign of Makoto apologising she destroyed him.

The show did a bad job of depicting that scene but
She was raped by the friend
 
Well you said its not often, and I can mention close to ten in quick though, so its valid enough. most of them if not all from recent title, the new trend.

For that harem comment lol, I'm happy for you though.

I agree that this is becoming more popular but the other genres are resisting .
Still you're right that it's becoming more obvious recently but not that much (yet).

I feel like I accidentally started something with my comment on snarky protagonists. Whoops...
Don't worry we reached a consensus.

Just another day in AnimeGAF.

*Back to playing SRW*

*back to kill cerberus in soul sacrifice.

So since we've established MCs are snarky, who is the snarkiest out of all of us so we can crown them the MC of the #AnimeGAF anime.

No he forces himself on her. I was told the VN makes it more obvious that she was raped.

So good, the way everyone is playing off each other is as ever entertaining to watch
looks like the demon powers is starting to kick in.

I'm not sure if that makes it better, if it was rape which it didn't look like at all in the show, her reaction afterwards doesn't make sense for other reasons neither does his.

At the time Kotonoha wasn't in the right frame of mind to think anything because she was completely dejected at seeing Makoto with Sekai at the dance festival, and Makoto's friend took Kotonota's non response to his confession as a "yes" and had his way with her anyway, as far as he was concerned he ignorantly thought he was in.

What pisses me off though isn't so much the pricing but the fact that so many don't come with artboxes. How hard is that shit? The exchange rate though makes a lot of it more bearable now compared to a year ago when shit was like $100 for a single volume.

They seem to be mostly in the realm of store bonuses.
Like, for Haganai NEXT, if you buy all six volumes from TBS's own shop, you get an artbox with this illustration:

Or if you buy all the volumes from HMV, you get an artbox of Yozara and Sena in HMV shirts:

Or if you buy from Animate or Gamers you get artboxes with still-not-published illustrations by Buriki (who seems to have disappeared).

Looks like there are unconfirmed (but highly likely) reports of a few upcoming Blu-ray releases in the next few months: everyone's favorite Infinite Stratos getting a BD-box in late August, a Genshiken complete BD-box set in June, and the one people have probably been waiting for, One Piece Film Z finally seems to be dated for a late June release as well.

See, if HMV UK had copied HMV Japan (I know they are different companies) with these idea they wouldn't have buggered things up so much. Buy Halo 4 at HMV and get a art cart with Halo in an HMV shirt and helmet!
 

One Piece 583-586

Episodes kind of draged especially the parts with the meeting of the kids that went on for to long and the unnecessary scenes with the marines. I did enjoy Luffy, Zoro's, Robin's, and Usopp's evil look when they decided to go after the centaur clothing.

More importantly was Law finally making his appearance. This guy is such a badass after the timeskip and really makes the Punk Hazard Arc much better whenever he was shown, so I can't wait for his other scenes later on.

Whose breast is it in the middle, it looks like someone just cut it off and put it between the 2 girls.

She saw them after the fact iirc. The scene took place when she was waiting for him and he told her she wasn't coming.

Also, if you subscribe to Neon Alley, don't forget that in five hours they'll be airing the first English dubbed episodes of Accel World and Fate/Zero. Of course they'll be rerunning them through the week constantly, but this is the first broadcast.

Anime rarely exhibit any regard for accurate human anatomy but this is particularly gross.

Someone needs to drag Feep back in here for the inside scoop on the AW dub experience.

Yea I'm aware but I could understand them being alternatives to sone regular release but nope that's it. It's so frustrating to have a bunch of single volumes on your shelf. I had to go on YHJ to get one for Fate/Zero. For importing it makes it damn near impossible unless you buy the box straight from YHJ.

Where they're going, they don't need rails!

I don't think they''re going anywhere! This is kind of the difference between Code Geass and Valvrave that I see some people glossing over. Before Code Geass went totally batshit Sunrise it was already pretty crazy but there was a story that was semi-serious and characters that people were clearly attached to. There's no Lelouch in the Valvrave cast, for instance, and no clear story to speak of.

The white haired guy is clearly a Lelouch like character. Hell so far I'm getting Spinzaku vibes from the main character.

They sort of did have Lelouch at the first episode. Then they made him into an emo and non-Lelouch by the end of episode 2. lol.

I'm not referring to simply cloning Lelouch badly though, even though Lelouch is basically a Kira clone. They would need to have some equally interesting and equally popular character to tie the whole thing together and that doesn't seem likely considering how excruciatingly bad the writing is.

The main character himself has potential. He was just icing people early in the episode and the white haired guy has no reservations about killing anyone either. As for the FABULOUS crap on the part of the leads, we don't know if the show is going to go that route. It's still really early on to see if either characters can live up to their Geass counterparts.

Good stuff, and really quite a surprise. Three episodes in and they were all really enjoyable, with good humor, great pacing and really likable characters. My favorite show of the season so far. Sadao in particular is an amazing and quite enigmatic character.

I see that Sentai still hasn't bothered to fix the form text on their press releases for newer shows that claim "a home video release to follow later this year" when, due to the dates of the JP BD releases, there exists practically a zero chance of it happening.

The difference here is that nobody cares about Subaru anime.

Answer me this: would this ending have had any effect on you had you not watched the rest?

This is why people who suggest only watching the last episode are fucking jerks.
It would be good in its own way but the best part of the show isn't the ending. It needs the stuff preceding it to build the anger to work.
I'd skip the first 2 eps though.

Heartcatch Precure 30

Potpourri channels his inner Porun and gets all complainy that
Itsuki
has to, you know, go to school. So he (she?) decides to run away and meets a young girl named Haruka at the park. They decide to make it their home, but then it starts to rain, and they realize that living at the park's gonna suck.

Well, Yuri finds them, and convinces them to go home, but then Cobraja attacks Haruka's mom...anyway all's good at the end, so whatever.

What's Yuri's deal? Why does she resent the new Precure so much? Is it cause they're not failing where she failed? Get over it. Either be a part of the team or GTFO. Though I suppose you really can't be a part of the team at the moment...but you could help in other ways.

Also, more Momoka.

You know, that's actually a good question.

But then you'd miss Makoto's humble beginnings.
