...granted I get that by process of elimination but... Klein!
It's good yes. Though the ending is kind of lacking compared to the manga.

Great music and good enough to buy, though the ending arc could have been better. Worth watching.

yes, watch it for the Jazz and the bromance.
All I'm saying is, if there has to be a vanilla pairing by the end of the show, I want Kirino to take it.

I hated it, but what do I know?
Hmm, interesting. My interest in doraemon-releated stuff has gone up in general so I might check out the original work at some point. Plan is to watch the 2011 movie first, though, Doraemon & the Robot Army.
After the crazy series opening the middle episodes felt like a drag, at least for me. It all picks up again by episode 6 or 7 though, and it's pretty much just a sprint to the finish line from there.
And it's so well handled that it doesn't feel like a drag. of the two backlog titles i picked up three years ago i thought the shin-chan (attack of the nostalgic shoe) movie was good, but this is on another level.

The jazz performances are consistently excellent, and the show as a whole is good through episode 7, which ends on a gloriously high note. The remaining episodes ram through unbelievable melodrama, becoming more about angsty twists than character development, which dampens the overall experience. Watanabe's decision to cram the entire manga into 12 episodes was not the best, at least the way he handled it. He doesn't appear to have a natural talent for adaptations. Still, I'd say the show is worth watching for its highs.

Attack on Indifference - 8
I wasn't feeling it, and I think this show is starting to lose me. The battle is starting to feel pretty drawn out to me too.
Trapeze - 4-7
Some patients and their issues are less interesting to me than others, but the show has had a consistent look and level of quality so far that it's hard to not be entertained in some way. It's definitely well made especially the lovably funky OP and ED. I stopped after finishing the yakuza whose afraid of sharp edges episode which turned out to be one of my favorites! Looking forward to more.

It has cool charcter designs. Episode 8 was pretty interesting actually.
I would recommend it. But you should probably keep in mind that they adapted about 10 volumes of manga with only 12 episodes, so the pacing does suffer at points. The highs are extremely high, and the soundtrack is great. The setting and characters drive the story pretty well too.
This looks like a nice little distraction of an anime. What is a dragon magic user? assuming its an MMO term?
Something I don't understand is why people actually like Kirino. Aside from not being cute, shes also not a likeable character. Like, at all.
It makes me actually ask what would attract someone to a character like this in the first place. Like in a realistic sense. It might be the same reason I dontl ike Asuna from SAO. Like why cant the MC actually hook up with one of the interesting characters instead of the most generic one in the show in many cases of shows like this? Is this part of an otaku fantasy Im not understanding here? Anyone who watches Oreimo knows how its intended to end up, so theres no "rage and bitter tears" but more like confusion as to why there are several interesting girls and he picks a character as vapid and bitchy as Kirino.
There just isn't any explanation for why MC characters are written to hook up with the most annoying or dull or helpless character. I think I just don't enjoy these kinds of shows like I used to.
At least I can still pick best girls to wean some enjoyment from these kinds of series, but they just aren't that fun to watch anymore.

Slow down girl .. you're ambitious i'll give you that but that's not the right place for such a request !
I don't think any of teh 3 grils have understood properly how the cat works.
You should'nt have to depend on him..and most of your wishes won't do you well in the long run.
SO why are you all 3 still making wishes !!!!

I quite enjoyed episode 8 except that it was a very predictable episode.

But she already has a partner, not everyone else does. Give them a chance at being vanilla

It was just as good as I expected it to be, holy shit hahahaha! With Kuroneko out of the way it's smooth sailing from here. Let's go #TeamKirino!
You realize how utterly bizarre it is to see you voice enthusiasm for the idea of a girl entering into a romantic relationship with a guy, yes?
Good to hear. I don't mind the slower episodes to help give it a sense of direction but only in moderation. They're not really suited for something like this.
No. Kirino deserves anything and everything she wants, there will be no exceptions.

Vanilla is with a penis if I understand this.
Name changes always end in regret.
oh ok.
So what is a "crack pairing" like DTL posted about when he grouped everybody together? Do I even want to know?

No.
The 3 girls ( that are all adorable in their own ways ) are magic users in that universe and they also have a dragon form for when their powers are fully activated.
Here is a pic of the girls in dragon form :
The heroines are :
-Leviathan
-Bahamut
-Jörmungandr
( those are the names of famous dragons so it all fits )
The thing in front is syrop , a delicious fairy that is a Wonderfull character, in both her actions , jokes and appetite.
And yeh it's quite intresting to watch but it's nothing special. It's just a fun adventure fantasy anime.
Good. From what I've seen commented, all the latest more lively animated remakes of old Doraemon films are excellent choices, since Mr. Watanabe's 2006 movie.
I skipped a lot of the boring speechmaking and pointless dialogue.
There are many times I read the posts in here and :kayos over certain terms. I just haven't asked up till now what they mean.

Ice cream flavors? I want in!
Both season suffer from that, but the high was ridiculously awesome.
I prefer the S2 btw.
I could use a good fun adventure fantasy anime right now. How long is it? Im too lazy to go to ANN.
Sad I know.

I will always thank Trapeze for introducing me to Denki Groove. The group uses repetition to good effect. Check out the comic-book OP Kenji Nakamura did for Hakaba Kitaro using another of their songs.

First ,you're not wrong into thinking in MMO terms since the anime is based on a game.
Second we still are at episode 7 ( it's ongoing ) it was annonced for 12 eps but maybe more later ???
Flashing back to their childhood? Flashing back in general more like. They didn't even try to disguise the laziness of reusing footage in this episode.
