Bleach 3 - 4 (5th rewatch?)
I hadnt realized they had translated Hado 33 Sokatsui as Pale Fire Crash...so glad they used Sokatsui in future episodes.
"Ye lord! Mask of flesh and bone, flutter of wings, ye who bears the name of Man! Truth and temperance, upon this sinless wall of dreams unleash but slightly the wrath of your claws.""

It has an alternative version of Tomorrow song.
If you do start Smile though, then I guess that'll be my next one, I don't want to be tempted by spoilers.
Well I have complaints about everything! But I would say on average the stuff on Hulu is pretty good from about two seasons ago and up but stuff older than that is very hit and miss when it comes to the encode, Some of it is downright terrible. But, at the end of the day it's just streaming video, not sure anyone really goes in there with super high expectations but some of the catalog titles are pretty fugly.
I would like the show to go in several directions.
First, you could have Ledo eventually try and bring civilization on Earth up to his level somewhat as allies against the Hideawhateverthefucktheywere and deal with the eventual conflict that'd arise when the relatively underdeveloped Earth comes into contact with Ledo's home which really has little way of turning out well for the people on Earth.
Second, they could totally ignore space and have them deal with what happens when you lose your almighty trump card, I can't imagine the robot would stay powered forever so surely some of the conflicts they're going to resolve that hinged on their side having the giant robot could then be revisited once it's out of power and then Ledo's have to learn how to be more resourceful.
I guess they could just keep the super robot and fuck shit up 24/7 but that's boring.
coming soon to a shitty jlist banner ad near you.

An I crazy to kinda like photo Kano? It's boring, but kinda memorizing in a weird way.

Honestly, you should go cold turkey for a while. Get some perspective. It helped me a lot when the negativity of this thread had dragged me down to the point where my days were filled with fantasies about killing everyone connected with the anime industry. (Well, that and the medication.) It's not healthy for you. Don't let some obsessive hobby turn you into a twisted ball of hatred. This is supposed to be entertainment!

Hype for next episode rising.
For me, it is Marine > Blossom > Moonlight > Sunshine. Tsubomi's character is really moé.
Once/if Maeda drops the photography club for the photo club, then I'll like the show more.
You sure you don't work in the JList marketing department? That was pretty spot on.
Well Erika's the best. There's no disputing that. As for Itsuki, what can I say? I like tomboys and girls who dress in the boys' uniform. That automatically puts her up. And I might have put her above Yuri but Yuri just became so awesome toward the end I had to recognize. But I did like Tsubomi a lot.

Rather not rank the Cures there yet, but I do think Marine was the best.
I do like Blossom though. The naming conventions really fit well here in regards to her character.

I used to but I quit after my "Child Colastation" drink idea was rejected in favor of "Tentacle Grape".

This show used to be a satire of the people who were into otaku-pandering anime. Now it has become an otaku-pandering anime.
Kirino is a sakuga lover? Respect.
Watching this right now actually and not enjoying it all that much because the episode is like that.
Edit: ok the doujinshi section bit was good.

This Muromi-san gif might be too lewd for GAF, so I'll just link it instead.
Actually it's just way too big to use img tags. It's like 5MB, haha.

This is like when Jexhius claims that Bakemonogatari wasn't a harem anime until Nisemonogatari. It was always pandering!
You know what, I think this
is correct. You guys are so full of hate for everything that I'm starting to get close to not being able to enjoy stuff that I think I would otherwise.

That reminds me, I have 5 episodes left of Bakemonogatari. I should finish that.

You have 2 paths in front of you.
Choose the blue pill , and watch either splash star or the "futari wa" ( first season ).
You'll experience what made this serie great on the basic level.
Choose the red pill , and watch either fresh or smile.
You'll experience a more up to date of what precure has become. Warning both show have several cons such as a slow start & slow character develloppement for the heroines .
Marine > moonlight > sunshine = blossom.
I'm doing well by ignoring the hate for the shows i enjoy.
This is rather mild. There is nothing in anime I truly hate other than AO. Now if you really wanted to see me out of my mind pissed off, you should have contacted me the week Mass Effect 3 was released. I felt like I literally had a ball in my stomach. I probably would have punched a Bioware developer or too if I had met them.

I know it is lined up in series order, but Shiny Luminous shouldn't be in the front.
Marine > Uhh.... Blossom has that adorable thing going for her > Moonlight/Sunshine. Granted, everyone was a good character, so whatever.
Awwww yeah!
If the people here are keeping you from liking something, I'd think the actual show is at fault rather than what anyone has to say. Just filter it out and stop worrying what others think about what you like.
Geesh, sounds like some vicious creative competition going on inside JList.
Fuck it, I'm doing the whole thing.
Marine > Sunshine > Sunny > Blossom > White > Black > Peach > Happy > Passion > Peace > Melody > March > Moonlight > Berry > Rhythm > Beauty > Pine > Dream > Bloom > Egret > Rouge > Aqua > Lemonade > Beat > Mint > Muse > Diamond > Sword > Rosetta > Heart >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Shiny Luminous

It was a lot more subdued in season one of OreImo compared to now, not to mention they never went as far as showing naked little girls.
We will never get a Precure 2D fighting game.

EDIT: Guh, I think I'll wait till tomorrow to finish Bakemonogatari. I need to get over Heartcatch.

So since everything I'm watching has reached 3 episodes, it's time for rankings!
Great tier
Attack on Titan: Perfectly acceptable adaptation of an excellent manga. Not once have I felt the direction was inappropriate. The action, art and music is all great.
Hataraku Maou-sama: Surprise of the season. I've always been a fan of this very specific "fish out of water" scenario, and it's executed in a damn good way that is funny, heart-warming and though-provoking. It could still turn into Superior, with its poor handling of moral ambiguity and atonement, but for now, it's a damn good show.
Good tier
Muromi-san: Hilarious mermaid antics, fantastic animation, amusing characters; comedy of the season!
Hentai Ouji: Pretty heart-warming with a super :cajun OP/ED and a pretty interesting premise for a harem series. The character interactions are pretty good. Hopefully the most recent episode resolving a certain plot point doesn't cause the show to go downhill.
Mushibugyou: One of the most standard battle shounens I've seen in recent memory. That's fine though, it has a lot of positives the genre is known for. The art is cool, especially the eyes at points. Action is fun as well.
Yondemasu Yo Azazel-san Z: More funny demon comedy antics? Yes please. Still amusing in all its raunchy glory.
Dansai Bunri no Crime Edge: Some nice animation, effective tone shifts, and a good refresher of a source that I had completely forgotten. I just wish they didn't erase all the color during the fight scenes.
Valvrave: Pure entertainment. It also has a villain group (or nation I should say) that is damn satisfying to watch when they fail/lose/get in shitty situations. Just as long as it stays that way and doesn't make me sympathize with them. If that happens, the show can fuck off.
Gargantia: Ocean world scenarios are always fun, and this seems to be no exception. It's interesting to watch the dynamic between people that can't understand each other and their growing trust.
Hayate no Gotoku: Cuties: This really should be in meh tier, but since they're actually making an effort to adapt chapters featuring the best character, I can't hate them for it.
Meh tier
Nyaruku-san W: It's still amusing, but there's not really anything special about it. Feels like I'm watching out of obligation at this point.
Date a Live: It's TWGOK + Infinite Stratos. That should be a lot better than it actually is. I can still enjoy it to some extent, and I do like the setup, but it does feel like a waste of a premise a lot.
Oreimo 2: I feel like Kirino is worse than she was in season 1. It's damn aggravating. It's a shame too, because she brings down the whole show despite the supporting cast being solid.
Aku no Hana: Some things might work, but this is still ugly as hell, awkward to watch, and a poor representation of the super entertaining source material.
Dropped tier
Majestic Prince: Dropped it at ep 2. I'm just not feeling it. Characters are aggravating and a lot of it is just boring. Maybe I'll pick it up again when it ends if I hear good things, but for now, I can live without it.
Aiura: This is honestly one of the dullest anime I have ever seen.

This is true, I don't recall any off-screen nudity in season 1, just a bunch of Kirino ass-shots.

I think it's a matter of degrees here. The pandering was far less egregious in Bakemonogatari and didn't distract from the surreal vibe of the show. Maybe it was the same in Oreimo S1 vs S2 but I watched neither so I can't really say.
How did this happen?! You should finish this ASAP!
The potential is there, but she's unfortunately dragged down by association with all of her moronic friends. See: my avatar.

Considering what I was watching, that's pretty much the main reason why it's not done (and anything else that I'm watching.)
Speaking of which, should start Allstars DX3 in 14 minutes or so.

Valvrave way too low
Mushibugyo is fun, if only it could have been really long running or something, so many possibilities with the bugs and Jinbee's excitement and va.
