Gonna start a kickstarter so you all can give me money to attend Girls Love Festival 9. Make it happen AnimeGaf!

It's the test of courage, and Nao and Miyuki are scared shitless through the entire thing! And yet despite being a crybaby, Yayoi is... into this the most. Clearly she's the bravest of them all!
But there's one thing that scares them more than anything.
Summer homework

Not everything a friend suggests is a good idea. This being one of those cases.

Yuyushiki - Episode 7
I don't think I enjoyed this episode as much as I usually do for this series. The yuri jokes here felt like they were trying too hard, and hence had less effect. When the yuri stuff is more natural or subtle, it works a lot better. The direct ones just feel like excessive stupidity (which the characters are certainly have in spades).
The violence humor on the other hand, rocked. I dunno what it is about Yui's violent tendencies, but it's just hilarious to me. Watching pink and blue go into full stupid mode and get a beating as a result is always fun.
The visual polish this week feels a tad off too, which is a pity, since when the show looks good it really looks good. Hope it bounces back fast.

Aku no Hana - Episode 7
That was really quite good. It's nice to see the show finally do something with the pieces its been setting up, and the build up to the climax was solid. I liked the fact that the episode had a bunch of new backgrounds too, compared to the last few episodes (lol). It'll certainly be interesting to see where the story goes from here, since the climax was definitely a major game changer. I hope they don't find a cheap way to dance around it, or reset the situation.
Erm, okay. Stay away from me, blue! >_<

But what about reading moe garbage and watching shounen garbage? Where do they fit?

If you liked Aria, you'd probably like Mushishi and Haibane Renmei.
EDIT: That may have been a misspelling of Akira, but don't disregard the recommendations either!
Don't you mean Regulus x madp?
It's just going to be bad. The other villain conversions in previous seasons worked because
Setsuna/Ellen
If you're a fan of superpowers, try some more recent series like Tiger & Bunny, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Code:Breaker, Hellsing Ultimate, and Darker than Black. I can't guarantee that you'll like them all, but you should hopefully like some. I'm sure that someone with more knowledge of older super-high-budget action/psychological stuff than me will come along and give you some good suggestions based on those criteria.

Well when you put it that way, I'm going to fear the midseason stuff.

What's the happiest anime ever? I need something disgustingly happy. No conflict, no death, just happiness all the time. Can't really deal with anything else right now.
Seraphis Cain
bad gameplay lol
The obvious answers are things like K-On!, Nichijou, Hidamari Sketch, Azumanga Daioh, etc. Acchi Kocchi is pretty happy, too.
But if you're really in dire need of some happiness, just go marathon Poyopoyo. That should do the trick!

I could recommend stuff, but I'm not in the best state right now. I can give you some shows a bit later, but there's still a lot of great people here that can recommend good stuff.

K-ON! if you can stomach a bit of drama that happens in a few episodes.
Hidamari Sketch?
Poyopoyo work here?

Glad you posted in here, hopefully some folks here can be of help.
Those sound like some solid recommendations.

Aria the Animation. As far away from conflict as you can get.
Seraphis Cain
bad gameplay lol
I suggested that too, but now that I've seen his thread in OT...maybe something involving a pet isn't a good idea...(I'm so sorry, cosmic ;_
.So uh...Puchimas maybe? I'm trying to think of things that aren't commonly recommended, but nothing's really coming to mind...Morita-san wa Mukuchi, maybe? Or Tamayura?
Gun x Sword 13
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF.
Oh man oh man oh man. The cool battle and the crazy revelation that it was all that guy's fault and the mental ravaging "JOIN ME" extended claw and then the bullet taking and the throat slicing and blood spurting and music and the screaming and the mad laughter and the hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnngggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrfffffffffffffff.
SO GOOD.

Whoops, saw the thread earlier on my phone but didn't see who posted it. How awkward.

I just finished Night Raid 1931. It's like X-Men meets James Bond meets film noir. The main cast have various superpowers that they use as part of a spy agency (and some of the villains too, for their own ends). It's okay, can be really dry at times, but not bad, might be what you're looking for.
Code:Breaker and Code Geass are good recs. Maybe the Mardock Scramble movies too?

Just going to third (fourth?) Hidamari Sketch here, Working!! too.
I like all of these especially the last one.
Also, I think it's about time we ditch the negative numbers and start over.

Thanks, guys. Think I'll finally give Hidamari and Aria a shot. I can put aside my "boring" complaints for a few days.

Happiest? No idea. You've probably watched Golden Boy which is my go-to show for just putting a big grin on my face, just cause it's hilarious, but not exactly 'happy'.
Ah, indeed! :lol
I don't know, I think Regina has a similar case to the two mentioned. Like, we've seen some good of her as she used magic to help Mana doing menial tasks, and her heart turns to fluff whenever she sees Ai, who responds to her quite well (which gives us the signal that someone besides Mana can see the good in her). At this time Regina does not understand what friendship really is and I feel that once she makes her heel turn and
becomes a Precure a bit of her selfishness will still remain (where she'll still be possessive of Mana).

It would be nice if she still had some of that in order to not make everyone feel chummy all the time.

The Homework episode... or rather, lack of it.
So they wanted to do their homework, but instead they were forced to play games by the Bad End Kingdom. Filled with cheating from both sides (and Reika the Robot still Roboting).
See GoGo, at least this team is competent and not getting beaten to the point that your game show was split into two episodes! Either that or the villains aren't as competent.... Hmmmm
Yayoi/Cure Peace was glowing throughout this episode, even if it lead to her downfall at the end. Of course.... Thanks Reika, for effectively shit talking your friends into victory.
