Yeah I really hope they tone down the nationalism or chances are I'll be dropping it at a certain point.

Does it really get all political and stuff in the manga? Uggh. I was only looking at the world premise...

I mean, I don't lurk the thread that often anymore, but the initial impressions of this episode were basically short responses about the yuri or lack thereof. I admit that I'm only reading a select sample from the thread, but those are the first posts I see. Add the fact that the whole thread title is a pun on the whole phenomenon and it's hard not to get that impression.
As for watching the show, I've already checked out because of Amagi Park. The studio isn't an immediate draw for me anymore, and I'm at a point where a slice of life show needs to be something extraordinary for me to stick with it because the majority of them end up the same way. Characters learning about themselves through music, art, photography, food, gondolas, baseball, soccer, basketball, swimming, tennis, rakugou, idol competitions, airsoft gun battles, tank battles, boat battles, pantsless air battles... I'm just taking a break from those kinds of shows for a while.

Oh look it's Sinon and Suguha with adult Kirito. We SAO here.
Jokes aside it looks good but I heard people say it is nationalistic a lot. I'll give it a shot since it looks good.

Still not sure if should be hyped for LOGOS or facepalm.
Oh yeah, speaking of which, wonder how May'n is doing now after her surgery.

Which is fair enough, it's just when you participate in the discussion anyways that it can rub someone the wrong way here and there when you're drawing conclusions from impressions only, some which are likely to be hardly reliable.
As for the shows quality, it's no Hyouka but still very good overall and excellent when the top episode directors are at work. The 'yuribaiting' is pretty much the biggest flaw, or rather annoyance for me and in a way that's a good thing as even this issue is far from an actual major problem.
I couldn't stand Amagi Park either but that one was an adaptation from bad material, whereas the Hibike! novels are supposedly really good, which is readily apparent by now considering the quality of writing.

I didn't react to the show, nor did I attempt to give that impression. I just pointed out that it was odd, given everything I know about anime (which isn't a lot in the grand scheme of things, but still quite a bit especially since I've watched and read hundreds of yuri anime/manga now), that people expected the whole yuri thing to end up any different when they expressed their disappointment.
If there's some subtext that these posters are missing, then I can't really comment. But for me, it would be like expecting the guy from Nisekoi to pick a girl by the end of this season. Maybe it's possible, but given what I know about harem shows, it's probably not the case.
From KnK to Chuu2 to Amagi, I sort of lost the faith with KyoAni. I'm sure Hibike is great source material, but I just wanted to take a break from both the genre and the studio this season.

I have a legitimate question for those that watch long running anime such as Gintama or Naruto or whatnot. Doesn't it get boring? I find two-cours sometimes to be boring and too long already, but maybe it's just because I have the attention span of a parakeet.

Naruto yes, Gintama avoids that due to the fact that almost none of the episodes link up with each other. Episodes feel separate rather then one big dragging story line. When Gintama does do an arc they only last 2-6 episodes, then it goes back to single or even half episode stories.
It most definitely depends on the anime itself and how much you like it. I personally set myself a 52 episode soft limit for shows. If anything is over that, it needs to be deemed incredibly good and something I will for sure watch to even begin (So anything moe/moe-blob with cute girls). Cardcaptor Sakura is one of few shows that goes over that limit, but I know when I watch Cardcaptor Sakura, I will love it, so I don't mind.
Way back when, I used to watch Bleach and FairyTale and another anime, hit passed 100+ episodes for them, but then got really boring; the problem is the overarching story. Filler and side stories just aren't what I want to watch with those big epics.

Even the arcs in Gintama shift between series and comedic, which changes the show enough that it doesn't immediately feel like you are watching the same thing over and over again. And since they keep lampshading the lack of progress, you have to be okay with the fact that Gintama is like Seinfeld inasmuch as nothing ever happens. lol
It doesdnt have to explain how (sometimes it actually does though)
I just dont think this show is for you. Thats fine, but if you cant set aside expectations for it to be super realistic then it wont satisfy you. Best to just stop watching it.
I'm partial to
myself.
A lot of them are pretty good. the elves and Lili especially. Although I dont enjoy this series as much as others seem to for some reason. I watch it but its not an eager watch like I do with Show By Rock, Soma, Euphonium, or Etotama. Those I cannot wait for the next episode.
Hephaestus...now thats an interesting contender...

I see so the stuff that they show is varied and somewhat episodic, makes sense. Well to keep it interesting for that many episodes, that's quite the feat.
Gintama isn't like those long trashy shonen shows with shitty filler. Most of the episodes is self contained. There's a reason why people praise Gintama while taking a shit on other shonen shows like Naruto or bleach or One Piece.

For Gintama specifically, there's still a formula. And over time, you learn to recognize it. But at that point, you're either invested in the formula or you probably dropped the show a long time ago.
What's funny is that they make fun of the formula later on by pointing out how they use the same music tracks over and over again to manipulate the audience into feeling certain emotions. It was subtle self-mocking, but I thought it was amazing.
Elves and short blue haired cuties and a hair ribbon not-catgirl. Ok I like this already.
lol you guys and your Yamato girls.
Hehee thats juuuuuust enough for Full Moon O Sagashite. How coincidental
I agree on CCS. Very rarely I will make an exception for a magical girls show if I particularly enjoy it.

I would have seen Full Moon O Sagashite regardless, you've praised it so much it's essentially a top recommended watch by Cute expert Cajun!

Gintama is a show that literally makes fun of everything including itself. The fact it makes fun of anime Studios and it's sponsors is a reason why it never gets old. Unlike other Shonen it's arcs are told in little amounts of episodes, it doesn't try to drag anything.
Max is 52 eps? Have you watched Heartcatch Precure? If you haven't, I highly recommend that you do.
It really is an incredible series. Full of all the drama and emotion anyone could ask for. Wouldnt expect it from the outward appearance of the art, although the premise certainly hints at it.

Soft limit, Heartcatch is a magical girl show right? That's an exception, I can always watch those types of anime without a limit =).
So true, but the synopsis does give you quite the expectation for it.
Ahaha, it's really really good. I have a review somewhere in the old OT thread. I loved it and the end is probably the best ending ever. One of my all time favorites.
It's really excellent. Second favorite Magical girl anime after Doremi
Pretty sure both of them are on my MAL to be watched list. =)
Watch the show Cornbread. Its well worth your time, even as long as it is.

It's on my list to watch soon enough. It sounds similar to another anime I watched last month but sadder...
I dont want to spoil anything about it. I just want people to watch this incredible show and be moved by it.

At least she has more fans than Aiz.
And I'm the only Hepheastus fan
Perfect Blue is one of my favorite movies, enjoy!
Aiz is way too kuudere for me.
We know next to nothing about her really. she barely showed up.

Yeah, she needs a good personality, not just a hot bod and great sword skills.
Oh, a smile too..
Hehehe,Kanon is a whole ton of good. Still have some ways to go; you look like you're losing your mind watching it. =)

All this unwarranted Aiz hate.
You guys are the worstia.

Yeeessss, everything there is (probably, in the case of Perfect Blue,) masterful.
HAHAHA OH MAN THIS EPISODE! I won't spoil the look of everyone that changed from a man to a woman and a woman to man but that is the main reason to see this right now. Kagura's reaction was amazing with him ripping his dick off to Gintoki touching his boobs and calling himself vagina as a new name. Poor Shinpachi is still treated as glasses with that only changing instead of being a girl. Otae's reaction to everyone having bigger breaths than her was amazing. Seeing Toshiro and the reason why he's a fat woman makes so much sense oh god. Everything in this episode was amazing and they even changed the End to reflect all the changes. They even got new voice actors for some characters which are doing a great job replacing the old ones. Gintama is so fucking good you guys. Seriously watch it.

Holy shit was this episode hilarious. I literally spat out my juice when I got to Hijikata's scene.😆 Oh my god my stomach is hurting from laughing too much. I mean Kagura became too manly, Gintoki became a cutie, Kyubei became Bishonen, Sougo became a cutie with a side ponytail, Kondo became a beauty, Shinpachi got a new frame, Sadaharu became a horse, and Hijikata became something too amazing.😂 I seriously can't stop laughing from this episode. I just love the fact they got different Voice Actors for each of the Genderbent characters. This episode was a 10/10 too amazing.
Also I can't wait for Tsukky and Sachan.😏 Also Tsukky is gonna be voiced by Daisuke Ono, this is gonna be real good real good.😎
Such a beauty.

It doesn't work if it doesn't rhyme with Hestia dude
Hestia is still the bestia though. She's better than the restia.

Samurai Bride S2 ep. 13-End:
What can I say, this oen was a pretty crazy ride all the way through, It's as over the top as you can expect from this type of anime with the extreme battles, magic and ending. With that being said, it was still very entertaining to watch through the whole thing, even with the big production changes in the second season. Throughout, this was another "non-harem," harem for the MC where this was not focused on the romantic relationships but the bonds between the samurai harem, lol. Oh well, thsi one does nothing great, but it was fun to watch!
