Time to catch up on Hyouka, I guess. I'm never going to get to my backlog, am I?
Considering of some of the stuff in your backlog, you might as well not bother going back to them.

Yup, meant to add that too. I'd have dropped F/Z if Rider hadn't reeled me in so hard with his charisma.
I'm pretty sure the manga ended abruptly due to a dispute between the authors and the publisher or something.

And I enjoyed writing it! Well, kind of. It took wayyyy longer to do then I planned.
But when I have to rewatch my entire life in Reincarnation Court, that means that I have to see all of this shit a second time!
I swear, if I have to watch all of Bleach again and then still get sent to the pumpkin dimension, I'm bailing to hang out with Niches.
Actually, the worst is over! It's not like I'm going to go back to catch up on Medaka Box or Sankarea.

Yeah, but they're just a bunch of kids.
Lets just hope they don't meet the same fate and we find this series being cut short also.

Ladies VS Butlers! 10
This episode was about Daichi getting a love letter from a girl, but since she's not into girls, is conflicted in what she should do about it. This in turn makes all the other girls to think of love and how they should show their feelings. Eh, not much happens in this episode, but it looks like its mostly a set up for a confrontation between Tomomi and Flameheart, and it looks like some sort of sports festival of sorts going by the previews. Which I gotta say seems at odds with what this school is about...
Blushing ears are so moe~

Seriously, that's gotta be the first time that an anime has been cancelled as it was airing. lol

Oh, so that's why there's so few episodes...

One of these days I will watch the first season of YuriYuri.
Animation with a lot of key frames is animation with a lot of key frames. Perhaps 'require' is the wrong verb here. All I'm saying is the more complex the object is, the more attention to detail is important to retain that complexity, like for example anatomy. Of course, animation doesn't have to follow the rules of convention, but there is a difference between animating a stick figure and a human being with a face and muscular structure.
I'm dipping my toes into all sorts (of shows) at the moment, so if I end up with one more thing to watch, then so be it.
The teacher does seem extremely harsh, the epitome of a dream-crusher. I refuse to believe that its an example based in reality, as it would just make me sad.
My journalism tutors definitely acted like that, awful people.
You and me both. And there I was thinking I could go blindly jumping in at the second season. I wanted the carefree comedy to be more carefree, damn it!
The way I see it, the teacher got really pissed when she ruined the recital last year, so now she's really trying to make her life miserable. And with the
development that the teacher will be standing in for the Principal now... big things are afoot.
Today is that day.

Its pretty hard to drop anime, its like once the story gets going one wants to finish it. UNlike manga that one could justify dropping on account of lack of translations or american publishers just dropping it, cant really do the same for anime. Though the only anime that I made far enough that I ended up dropping because it was just way too deep and too branching and convoluted was Baccano, didn't understand it one bit.
Sailor Moon R: Make Up! Sailor Senshi!
15 minute short that aired before the Sailor Moon R movie. It's mostly a reintroduction to the characters as Usagi and Chibi-Usa look on as two girls gush over a Sailor Senshi poster. Usagi is trolled and Minako receives recognition so it was a worthy watch. It turns out I really miss Usagi's original transformation and the Moon Tiara stock animation. Great stuff.
It's a shame so much of it was tv animation cropped to a different aspect ratio.

I asked nicely. Your first sentence shows me that my previous post was not unwarranted -- number of frames does not have much to do with quality.
You're trying to diminish KyoAni's accomplishments simply because they have the foresight and ability to make character designs suited for animation. That is wrong. There is no "difference between great animation and great animation with moeblobs" -- there is just great animation.
Dropping shows is easy, finishing them is hard ... at least for me.
I think she is completely justified in being angry, just not so overtly.
Game over man, game over!
Hyouka 08:
The characters in this show really don't speak like teenagers. Well, that applies to Houtarou and Irisu more than anyone else, but the mundane subject matter of the mysteries sometimes feels at odds with just how verbose Houtarou and co. can be. Irisu clearly has some kind of agenda in the guise of a simple request based on just how much she had to say in addition to "watch this movie and guess who the killer is" just to get the Classics Club on the same wavelength as her in terms of how they approach the film and the circumstances behind her request. She has an oddly villainous air about her.
Also, KyoAni's animation devilry was pretty amazing this episode. Animation that accurately represents the look of film from a digital camcorder? Focus, lighting, depth of field, unsteady framerate, microphone noise, and first-person perspective? All really marvelous. I'm reminded of the main reason I'm still watching this.

I'm guessing that Joker is here to stay. He probably wouldn't get his own Bad End animation otherwise, and his hat kind of hints that he has exclusive access to Yellow Akanbe. Example:

Oh wow. Betting on 52 episodes is bad!
Gundam Age is still going though!
Yeah. They aired a DVD exclusive episode to try to fill the gap.
Well, I don't think Jester's personality allows him to really take control of an average episode, unlike the other 3, since they're more bumbling and funny than he is. Not every episode can be about the Precure getting flattened physically and mentally!
Hey! If "industry sources" say that you better believe them, it doesn't matter that meanwhile they were hyping 'the 3rd generation' like there was no end... investments like that in promotion are nothing, after all! 'Peccata minuta'!
What exactly is Precure?
When I hear "magical girls" I think "kid's show." Not looking down on anyone here watching it, but it's not something I'd typically be interested in it. Seems like there's more to it than just kawaii ass magical girls.

Love their rendition of Sukiyaki. Love that song and was really happy to hear it in this anime. Really liking this anime so far even though it started out pretty bland.

No, there really isn't. It's just a magical girl show that people like.

It wasn't bad.
Music was nice, the characters are still good. More focus on the girls this episode and while the drama wasn't something I was too worried about or really all that into.
I can probably toss up a half hazard guess on the relation between the vice-principal and the music and probably relate that to the other girl, but whatever.
I kinda do want to see where all five characters come together and not randomly at the start of this episode.

He was referring to After War Gundam X. It was shortened to 39 episodes from 49 due to terrible ratings iirc.
It's just a kids' show which has picked up a secondary demographic, I guess. It's entertaining, but I think you're looking too far into people just enjoying shows. I don't know what more you're looking for than magical girls.
Is it just me or does anybody else find the running in the OP really awkward?
*shrug*
Usually if a show aimed at a younger audience catches on with an older audience I think there's something more to it. Guess not.
Just magical girls. It doesn't hurt it's rebooted once a year and from what I've seen so far, it's of greatly varying quality from year to year.
To give you a serious answer, the only real "twist" the Precure franchise has is that it has a lot more action than the average magical girl show. Otherwise, it's just (usually) a lot of fun to watch.
Or to put it more simply,
It's the anime equivalent of bronies.
I would say that makes it sound unappealing, but Spongebob man, Spongebob.
The action sequences are part of the draw. It's a magical girl series with actual fight scenes so I assume that is part of the reason it has picked up a broader audience.

watched all of Upotte and im still wondering why the guns are girls, even more why the 'bad' guns are catgirls.
Now this is patently false.
