Hestia's reign is over.

I mean, now you're almost making the debate purely one of semantics. When the animation is extremely limited (or even non-existent) as it is in some places of the series then that's another way of saying that it's poor.
I feel like slightly over-emphasizing how much of the show is plagued by budget/production difficulties. There are obviously large swatches of the later half of the series that are extremely limited in terms of frame count, but there are also huge chunks of the series that look just fine.
Is that really a question because it feels like this has been answered many times. I mean, technically speaking, Japanese animation is built on limited (hence, supbar) animation, especially compared to the West, and it's pretty clear that lots of it is extremely good looking.

Very true, though those are usually just regular copies that cone with chipboard boxes.

She does do more forbidden magic. That being being the best of them all.
That being said, I can't wait for the Sharp Movie+ep40 combo from you.
Hana-chan is the single cutest character in all of anime.
Welp.
Quite possibly, yes.
Image would be great if not for the huge pile on the right.

How many potential girlfriends does Hachiman actually have in that damned show? By the time I bailed in S1 even his darn sister seemed to want him to some degree.
I dunno, this show is well regarded here (by most watching it anyways) but to me it felt like just another generic, kind of wish fulfillment LN adaptation with another supposedly jaded and loner-type MC getting close to tons of chicks anyways, even if that goes against these characteristics. And when a show tries really hard to tell me what kind of character someone is but what I'm then presented just doesn't match that at all, I put off majorly.

I guess I'd argue that the rate of which it is poor or non-existent isn't enough to color the whole shows run as being poorly animated which seems to be the stigma phaze was operating on. It's a good looking show for a variety of reasons.
Seriously, Love Lab is brilliant. Of all the anime I watched last year, it's one of the best. You won't regret watching it!
I need to up my game... I'm only on episode 31!

EDIT: Oops, never mind. Got confused.
Realistically I would say 3 (Yukino, Yui, and Iroha). Rest of them care about him but nothing romantic.
wrong show bruh

I like Part 3 more then Part 2 because Part 3's ending sections are amazing, and when I think of all the great moments in Part 3 there are way, way more then Part 2. It's also longer to be fair
H&C it is then

The main two, plus Iroha, but its mostly just ship-tease. I guess Yui is pretty explicitly into him.
The sister isn't into him, you just would assume so since when she describes the kind of guy she liked, it was basically just a description of Hachiman. That's not actually a thing that's unusual (lots of girls like men who have similar personalities to their brothers or fathers), its just that its anime in 2015 so the assumption is that she actually likes her brother.

Really? You had options like leopard and USA theme, yet you chose that bra? I haven't been this disappointed since Dexter.
I would've wanted a bit more time on how they cooked and prepared the dishes. Her dish turned from a lump of meat to three dishes of lewd meat roses in a jiffy. Go full HxH and dedicate like 8 episodes to the cooking of Don!
Anyway, I enjoyed the episode a lot as usual. Megumi making me go doki doki and Meat can swing a tie. All is well.

And there's already been 4 instances of jiggling tits.
Amazing.
Amazing.
Shizuka (Teacher)
Komachi (Sister)
Haruna (Yukino's Sister)
The other girls in the story are just there (Kaori, Saki, Meguri, Ebina etc) to progress the story.
I don't know a lot about what happens in the LN so who knows if someone else comes into the story.

Like 5 girls and a bunch of guys? Hina (the glasses girl), Saki (the girl with the huge family), Miura (the Alpha Bitch girl), Haruna (Yukino's sister), Komachi (that line was worth a lot of Komachi points).
None of them are into him at all. For what's its worth I don't think Yukino is romantically into him at all, either.
There are only 10 volumes of the LN and this arc is basically the middle of Volume 9, so if there are, you'll find out soon enough.

I have to get used to that "water color" style artwork, from the first episode, it looks like both dudes are going to fight over "Honey" while "Clover" watches, lol.

nice gifs, those can be reused, lol. Show looks like it could be fun. Is it just a straight slice if life, school, comedy?

This is literally a description of Nisekoi as an intellectual property.
It's a comedy about a group of girls who research love and fix love-related problems that other students have. There is a loose story that ties all the episodes together, but it's secondary to the humour, which is consistently great. It's very fun to watch and adorable to boot

Well there is limited animation, and there is having large parts of episodes composed of stills. NGE looks good for the most part and works great with its creative restrictions. but the production became a complete mess at some point and it shows in the final product.
I mean, I can't in good conscience give props to a show doing 700 frame episodes. It feels like cheating.

Can't say I enjoy Ore Monogatari particularly much as the relationship, while untypical for anime, feels uninteresting as hell. The purity antics of the last two episodes were just kinda lame. It's not an uninteresting topic but going about this stuff with hand-holding eh... of course that's not "impure". If she had voiced actual interest in sex—not 'impure' either but socially a more difficult topic—or s.th., which of course wouldn't fit this character, I wouldn't mind this kind of angle at all. KareKano was extremely good about this topic btw.
However I'll still have to keep watching if there are more scenes like the extremely glorious last sequence of this 6th episode; holy shit that was hilarious.

I think I would have found it more interesting and funny if it main plot was Suna's sister picking up on Takeo.

She is really lame though, but we knew Hestia was doomed since week 1 and he already ignores her, lol.

I rather wonder if and when there's gonna be any kind of world building as to why there are literal gods living with random dudes. And trying to fuck them.
Nagato Yuki 7
It's called The Disappearance of Nagato Yuki because that's what happens to her screen-time. If her name wasn't in the title I'd think this was the Ryoko/Haruhi show. Ryoko, you're supposed to be cheering on Yuki, not stealing her scenes. Haruhi, you already had 2 seasons. Otherwise a relaxing and comedic episode. Haruhi gets stuff done. Ryoko is the only one that can control Haruhi. Tsuruya eats Haruhi's antics right up. Mikuru manages to be more likeable than she is in the original. I think it helps that she doesn't suffer nearly as much abuse.

Adding a bit to this, the international rights holder for Summer Wars, Wolf Children, and Boy and the Beast (pointless note: also the holder for the new Eva movies (though not the old)) is NTV. NTV and Funimation have a good working relationship.
The Girl Who Leapt Through Time had and still likely has rights held by Kadokawa Pictures/Shoten/whatever the fuck Kadokawa grouped that into now since they picked up the film for broader distribution/home video. It's quite probable Funi will get it, but they don't have the best relationship together (Funi tried to sabotage the domestic Kadokawa releases in February/March 2012 which has instituted a BD-holdback for all Kadokawa titles from Funi).
The new Hosada movie BD-Box is being sold by NTV/Studio Chizu with support from VAP, but being distributed by Kadokawa, so there may be some transfer for TGWLTT, but that's speculation at this point.

Because they are lonely? Really though, they have been hinting at a bigger plot the last few episodes, so I have a feeling we are going to learn a lot more pretty soon. My buddy bought the manga/ ln but I told him to STFU and don't say anything, lol.
And and take a look at Greek mythology and how those gods act.

I do love the transformation seqence in Sharp (Although Doremi's transformation in Motto is my favourite one of the lot).

Yeah, but Zeus didn't exactly ask when he decided he thought some human was hot.
It usually involved him transforming into a goat. Because this helps you pick up human women.

Reminds me of this rant about Boku ha Tomodachi ga Sukunai, aka I Have Few Friends, the light novel/anime about a guy with no friends who spends his time hanging out with a bunch of girls.
