But he said JoJo Bizzare Adventure needed better character designs.

If he was talking about Part 5 and 6 he was right

If this thread/NeoGaf in general wasn't so male dominated we'd probably be seeing more "yaoi baiting".

Possibly, but I dunno. Theres plenty enough of that too. DTL points it out every time.
Actually several animegaffers do.

if by awesome you mean how terribel prison school is.
the fans will bitch that it's not a good adaption
the people who aren't into fetishes will just question why people would like the show
and the two people who legitimately enjoy the anime adaption will stop posting about it because everyone else hates the anime :p

no, we will all be talking about how great a romance Snow White with the Red Hair is instead :p

(I wish, I know you guys will just be going on and on about Monster Musume no Iru Nichijou as no doubt one of the girls from that will be the Hestia of this season)



I met my wife at my college anime club. There is pretty much no chance I would have met her otherwise.

Thats cool that you met her that way. Im happy for you :)

Next season is the Summer of Yamada, nothing else matters.

Hmmm. You might have a point..

from what I hear there's not enough source material.But my source is people from this thread so what do I know.

looking into stuff it seems the anime adapated through novel 5 and there is currently only 8 so a second season could be a bit off.

Any time I see someone say "As a (descriptor) I want to hit them.

fair enough, I am also typically annoyed by that but in this case I felt it was needed to point out what demographic I am part of as if i had merely said that I would always prefer seeing two guys kiss instead of two girls kiss it would likely be assumed that I was either a girl or into guy on guy stuff.

I suppose I could have put it this way, strictly situational speaking guy on guy doesn't do anything for me, girl on girl can be exciting, but in anime I am going to prefer guy on guy 99.9% of the time. I am far more likely to sit down and watch a yaoi anime then I ever would be a yuri anime as I always feel like the girl on girl stuff is just pandering to people who get off on that as the writing with that stuff in general is just horrible. Not that yaoi writing in general is amazing, but there is typically more focus on the emotional state of the characters than getting the characters on screen groping each other. granted there are plenty of yaoi things that are just about that too.

Thats cool that you met her that way. Im happy for you :)

yeah, I met her, dumped my girlfriend of a few weeks the next day, and started hanging out with my future wife and was dating her with in a week or two >.>
I just knew I wanted to be with her lol.

I haven't read Part 5 yet but I honestly want to know what went into Araki's mind when he created those designs considering I've seen some of the art for it. The first one looks like the dude is wearing a cow costume because all he needs is a bell wrapped around his neck and he's set. The second guy just looks like some random male stripper.

A lot of people refused to watch Kuroko no Basket, an amazing show, insanely popular, possibly the anime that will mark this decade for me, because of fujoshi pandering.

Nearly everyone is watching Euphorium and discussing the yuri undertones in the most childish manner imaginable.

That's all I have to say about this.

Are you sure people were refusing?
I'm sure it's a great show but I don't really have a lot of interest in sports shows. Lots of people probably think similar.

I started watching KnB. I like it; on episode 6 or so with the 2m+ foreigner.

I think this is mainly due to who dominates the industry as a install base, that yuri can't really come out as well as yaoi. It probably helps that the males used don't have breast to grope, so it feels more intimate than simply playing for a gag.

Not that I bothered with Yaoi manga. I went to explore yuri ones and found some neat ones, of course there's also the drama aspect of it.

As far as I'm aware, people need a bit of gay porn in their life though if vanilla isn't spicing it up at the moment. Gives it a change of pace. Same with Yaoi anime/manga.

Yup, back when it started airing, a lot of people were quite vocal about it being nothing but yaoi fanservice with no redeeming qualities.

She's one of the best. Yuri is awesome.

Ibukiiiii <3

isn't danmachi disgustingly popular? unfortunately a second season is way too likely

It is rather popular but there isnt much material to adapt.

sakura trick aotf

That would be Show By Rock but I certainly enjoyed Sakura Trick.

I refuse to watch Kuroko no basket because it is about basketball. Not even Ryo Kyuu Bu could get me to watch a basketball anime so Kuroko had no chance. Its a boring sport.

oddly enough I am finding I have problems reading romance manga that I didn't have an anime to get me into first. I can pick up other series just fine, but I just have problems caring about most characters in a romance series. I'll have to try a few more, but I am currently in an action kick and thus reading bleach and kenichi.

Likewise the concert band motif of Eupho was quite boring to some, myself included.

for me 4-5 girls in a club setting just makes me want to burn it with fire, lots and lots and lots of fire in general anymore >.>;

Probably because you can blast through a chapter fast, where you're stuck for 24 minutes or so watching an episode.

Just read that there's just not enough source material and that if they actually intended it to be a real series / do a second season, they wouldn't have burnt through the material so quickly. 5-6 LN volumes in 13 episodes seems like a lot.

Considering how the goliath battle is so rushed and volume 4 got compressed in 1 episode, I wish it was paced better.

Having the minotaur fight to be the end of 1 cour will be great...

SNAFU 13

I'm going to have to rewatch this one tomorrow morning when I'm not sleepy.
It seems that Hikigaya really has changed with his short monologue at the end. But it also seems like none of the tension between the main characters has actually been resolved. There's still a lot of unanswered questions about Yukino's family, too.

Nice job ending on a cliffhanger again. >.> There are only a couple of volumes left with the light novel, right?

Sorry Iroha shippers.

Sports anime are really niche here though, it takes something like Ping Pong to get more than a few people to watch them. There have been several good sports shows these past few years that only a handful of people have watched.

SNAFU S2 13

So I might be a bit unclear on what happened in that last scene. Essentially they just established that Yukino needs to make her own decisions correct? And that it's the first step in the right direction for her? I feel like all the tension (the romantic tension at least) is still there and didn't really get settled at all. And no real resolution with Yukino's family either. I thought for a second that Yui might just confess in that last scene, but of course they wouldn't do that. They have to make a movie or something..

Was probably my favorite anime of this season though, liked every episode and always looked forward to it.

what order do I watch gatchaman crowds in? 1-11 then the DC of 12 or do I need to watch all the eps and the director's cut of ep12 to get all of the show? why is this so confusing??
i think 12 dc is a weird epliogue where they skipped over episode 12's stuff. i'll find out soon when i rewatch it but you just watch it all afaik

e: yeah skimming through i think 12 dc is some weird recut where they expect you to have seen regular 12, get yo numbering conventions together japan you dumb fucks

Re-Kan! Episode 13:

Last week really should have ended the series, still this show was the supreme house of adequacy for the season.

Yes, but I'm not mentioning other shows (like Haikyuu or Baby Steps, both great shows) because stuff like "fujoshi pandering" or yaoi was never mentioned in relation to them. When Kuroko started airing people were criticizing it because of that without even seeing the show, despite a few AnimeGAF regulars praising it.

I don't know about others but I tend to find the length a little off-putting as they seem to rack up episode counts easily.

that may be the case. in general I have issues caring about fictional characters though.

there weren't yaoi talks with haikyuu? huh, I guess it was just me and my college buddy that watched that show and made up lines with the main characters about how they love each other lol.

I still wish more people cared about baby steps though, it's so much better than ace of diamond or haikyuu :/

I don't know about others but I tend to find the length a little off-putting as they seem to rack up episode counts easily.

I could see that, as they do. personally I enjoy them because of that reason. They are enjoyable to watch, but don't tell amazing stories thus I don't mind just slowly watching thing progress since they are fun but I don't need to know how it finishes.

SNAFU TOO END
Seriously, that was that? Fuck them, fuck off.
Not 1 single thing was settled in that episode. Talk about a bullshit open ending, so what, read the LN, righ? I hate that shit, so we need to wait 2-3 years for any resolution for the three and especially Yuki? Yui was just trying to force her way into Hiki on that one...
/rant.
Dammit, wtf I'm going to smoke a butt, then sleep.

Corn sorry to say this but a Season 3 is not possible as there is little source material left. Only OVAs at this point are possible but otherwise your only possible choice is just to read the LN to get the resolution.

So pretty much you're fucked.

YOU CANT JUST END THIS FUCKING SHOW LIKE THAT! NOTHING HAS BEEN RESOLVED EXCEPT GIVING YUKINON THE COURAGE TO FIGHT AGAINST HER FAMILY BUT THAT ISNT ENOUGH!!!!!!!! Fuck this anime blue balls ending! I need more, so much more answered! Gahhhhhh I'm going to sleep. The date was really cute and shows the evolution of Hikki's character but mannn was that a bad way to end this series. We need a movie or OVA to end this thing proper.

Believe me, I am the same way. It's part of why I don't participate in topics debating on what characters should and shouldn't be.

heh at least someone knows the feeling.

i mean I can't watch any movie that isn't an action or comedy, dramas just bore me because they don't have enough time to set up characters to the point where I can care about them before bad things start happening.

don't get me wrong, sometimes I can get attached to characters quickly, but it's very rare. but heck it often takes me 4+ episodes to learn the main characters names in anime, before then I will just refer to them as spikey haired dude, or mcbitchface...

I mean... I have read all of the soma manga and have watched the anime... and I am having troubles naming super bitch.... Erina maybe.... idk...

I can hate quickly though lol... might take me a while to care, but I can wish a character to go away and never return in no time like with super bitch in food wars.

Total bullshit waste of time and an insult to its viewers. That is by far the worst offender yet. They can only make it right through a movie, but still... Fuck them for doing that. This board is going to explode with malice as people catch up.
