The visual novel is immensely better, but who knows how the adaptation will be. Both of these Key adaptations are non-Jun Maeda works so they are better than the usual Key fare.

Yeah, Maeda made it worse by telling fans he learned from his mistakes in rushing things in AB, just to turn around and make it worse in Charlotte. Both shows should have been 24 episodes..

So for a while I've been wanting to get into Gintama but it's kind of overwhelming with 200+ episodes, but being a comedy anime I assume the plot is negligible? If so where is a good place to start or do I really have to start at episode 1 and work my way up?

Yes. You have to wade your way through several mediocre-ish episodes too before it really starts to get funny at episode 25. It's definitely worth it though.
Nah, you don't have to start from episode 1. There is a much better entry point. Start at episode 3.
Interesting. I still don't expect much though, but maybe it can be better than Charlotte...
Beyond the Boundary 5
Hmm. I think I kind of like it now. There are still plenty of obnoxious moments though and it's horribly unfunny when it tries to be a comedy.
And naked kittens on this episode.

Oh, right. I forgot. Episodes 1-2 is an anime-only thing that can be completely ignored.
Inou Battle to get a season 2 with another incredibly misleading intro.
Her hair does some weird shit in the OP.
Pls be something by Imaishi.
Dang. Hopefully G-Reco soon . Too bad it missed that Spring date by a lot now.
I'll still be buying both of these though.
Well... How'd the Grisaia anime turn out? Same studio and director as Rewrite
What was this one about? All I heard was that it was literally on speed and steroids.

Dunno. Not played the VN or seen the anime. That's why I asked
Oh, and the director also directed Kiniro Mosaic ;p

They reran both seasons of Kinmoza on consecutive days over the weekend, but I didn't rewatch because it started at 3 AM and also I dislike Nicovideo.
I wish there was a 3rd season. Not enough Karen IMO. Oh well, there's that special episode coming this year, I forget when exactly.

Oh shit, I forgot it was the Grisaia crew. Grisaia was really good. Season 1 and 2 are completely different in tone, but they were really really fun to watch.
School harem drama vs "the girls strike back"
This. My main gripe with both Angel Beats and Charlotte were that their plot was all over the place in terms of narrative, all while there were lots of subplots that were introduced but vanished into thin air or were hastily resolved in pretty unsatisfactory ways.
I mean, Charlotte has the MC set on a trip to steal the powers of every person in the planet in a single episode (the last). That could've been turned into half a seasons' worth of episodes, at the very least.

Would be an awesome 6 episode OVA series. As well as, yeah know, develop the Yuu x Nao relationship...

Your Lie in April 1
Decided to try this show again. Just like before, I'm reminded that Your Lie in April is a show of harsh divides. There are aspects of this show that work really well, and there are aspects that don't work at all. There's a scene towards the end where the female lead is introduced in a very smooth enjoyable fashion that immediately catches the eye of our male lead. It's a nicely animated feel good moment.
And then they follow said scene with this.

If I remember correctly, the MC was taking a picture because just like you, he thought the scene in front of his eyes was beautiful. That however doesn't justify anything sure, but it sure is better than having him do it with ill intent.

Jesus does Lenalee look amazing.
I'm really loving the new designs, especially the Noahs.

I'm mixing my months :/ thank you! I thought it was weird.
Also I'm looking at the prices of these releases...why is thunderbolt so pricey! holy snap 89.99$ is too much for 70 minutes.
Even though I really wanted it, that price may be too much.
Edit: I just realised it's even worse since I'm Canadian..probably looking at 100$

It's a Japanese import. Just like Aniplex stuff and Gundam Unicorn.

FMA:B ep.12
Excellent backstory on their master and how they learned to develop their alchemy skills. At the same time it was a stunning reveal of their sensei's own mistakes.

What's the deal with the Pokemon anime/movies having great music? Was just browsing NND and listening to one of my favorite singers doing a cover of a song. After listening I go look up where the song came from and lo and behold it's from Pokemon.

A passing by housewife, huh? Still got a chuckle out of that one, lol. Edward has gotten a little better fighting though.

Yar, I don't know how it is in the animated version, but in the comic this is the picture he took:
Will buy the shit out of CCA. I'll get irritated by it but still!
I do my best to help people discover stuff. I'm typically bullied for my efforts though.

The problem isn't the behavior of Kosei so much as how the show handles the tonal shifts between seriousness and comedy. Throwing in shounen ecchi jokes and slapstick undermines the romantic drama and character tragedy the series is trying to do.
Doesn't help that the tragedy drama feels so forced and stupid, while the gags just aren't funny. The only things the show had going for it were the somewhat interesting theme of young performers struggling with pressure and expectations, and the nice designs. Everything else was overdramatized garbo.

I don't think I've ever seen a female character as thirsty as Initial D's Kyoko, good god.
Oh shit, I didn't know they were making a new one. What are the details? Is it starting where the last one left off or is it a complete remake?

It's a continuation with new voice actors. The Mangaka even said the adaption will be vastly different from the original anime.
The New PV
It seems like the new anime is more colorful like the manga judging by the color pages than the original anime.
