Nah, it probably just made you realize that the first one was bad too.

Yes, smut actually serves a purpose, if you just mean porn.

We would live in a better world if all animes are on the same garbage level as Bakemonogatari.

Hell, most of it's better.
Fresh Precure 4,5,6,7,8,9
Apart from episode 8, which was all about selling plastic toys to little girls, these were quite good.
Tarte is a pretty awesome fairy, not at Coupe-sama's level, but certainly better than the average squeaky voiced fairies. And he speaks in Kansai-ben. Of course, there's Chiffon to try and cancel him out. What useless fairy she is.
Kaoru-chan is also pretty awesome, though he seems to know a bit more than he should...
A few of the recent episodes have had some really good monster and fight animation, a definite improvement after the somewhat disappointing start.
I disliked Miki at first with her whole "I'm perfect" catchphrase and all, but she's grown on me since, and also it's a bit unusual for a main character in a show like this to have divorced parents, so maybe something interesting will come of that. It also makes her relationship with her brother more plausible, even if there's no excuse for their mother.
Love is a pretty standard main character of the genki type. Her episode was pretty good too.
Buki's episode was probably the worst, though she's really only had one so far, so it doesn't really count against her. Of course she'd only be frightened by one type of animal... it makes it pretty funny whenever they meet up to see her shivering in the corner, though.
And with this I've overtaken Mad Pierrot!

it was much too 'lewd' to be shown in hd for new-age kyoani, so they had to blur it out.

Well, if all anime sold that well than the industry really wouldn't have anything to worry about.

There's nothing inherently bad about trash!

Sales figures don't like. Bakemonogatari is better than Wandering Son, Usagi Drop, Penguin Drum, Tsuritama, Kids on the Slope etc.

Jexhius, I trusted you.
I'm fairly certain that I've been open about my appreciation of Bakemonogatari many, many times since it aired. I am surprised that you missed all this as I was hardly keeping it a secret.
But you just posted again...

We're just trying to let you know to avoid it but unfortunately that requires that you be exposed to it in some small quantity.
It never ends.
Really, what other characters can you think of? It's not like it never occurs, sure, but it's still far more unusual than the "Happy family with one younger/older brother/sister" that usually happens.

Pretty awesome episode, great animation,
massive upgrade for Majorina,
the Princess forms are better than I was expecting, some very nice animation there, unlike the terrible Rainbow Healing "transformation".
The only complaint I have against it is
the completely useless and worthless Pierrot reveal. A giant clown shows up for 5 seconds before being blasted. Really? That's all the big wind up with the clock was? A lame clown who appears in like 2 cuts?
Also, some of the fight music sounded suspiciously similar to HeartCatch's...
Next episode doesn't look very good, but I guess there's a lot of potential for some good comedy, so I might end up pleasantly surprised.

I feel like we're one of the few places on the internet that really respects Blood-C, but perhaps I am wrong.
Ami Mizuno from Sailor Moon and Aiko Senou from Ojamajo Doremi. Former lives with her mother while the latter lives with her father. For that matter, only Usagi and Minako in Sailor Moon come from unbroken homes.

I actually still remember that one, it was so sad. Do they still edit the ending theme to make it fit for TV?
Ojamajo Doremi actuallly directly deals with Aiko's situation while Sailor Moon just mentions Ami's once or twice.To be fair, most magical girl shows don't reach Sailor Moon in many respects.
I believe I pointed it out in Doremi as well when I watched the first 3 episodes a while back.
You encouraged me to watch trash. I won't forget.
Blah Blah Chocolate 1-2
Given the way the first episode started, I was expecting something a bit more... serious. Not that I dislike what I watched, as the stupid moments weren't all that bad and the posible school politics that might come into play could be fun, but the tone left me a bit surprised.
I wonder what's up with poor -jima as he seems to be the only one that notices certain things that noone else seems to see.

Hmmm...yes.
Newtype is going to start running a manga next month based on the Fate/Zero Cafe SD characters, illustrated by Ufotable:
I like where this is going!
Have you seen the first season of Someday's Dreamers? Its pretty good.
Yume is super cute and has an amazing ahoge.

Holy shit that was a fucking amazing episode! Everything was awesome
There was some fantastic animation, especially the
. These past two episodes have been leaps and shoulders above almost every other episode in this series. Now if only they'd keep it up for the rest of the shows run.
in the preview seem pretty moe~
Holy shit that was a fucking amazing episode! Everything was awesome
except for the shitty Mecha Akanbe+ known as Pierrot that was on screen for ~30 seconds.
new powerup which shits all over the pathetic Rainbow Healing special
The PreCure Fairies
I've forgiven them for Nabari, you surely can forgive them for such a splendid show as Kill Me Baby!
Sailor Moon 9
Haha, oh man. Their entire evil nefarious plot for gaining energy was basically selling cheap clocks and watches that ran a bit faster thanks to magic. It's so brilliant in its ridiculousness and stupidity that they thankfully exploited that fact to the fullest for this awesome episode.

Is Ami really stuck with a special attack as pathetic as spamming bubbles?

I've seen a few episodes, but I didn't really like it. It seems like it is more episodic and about the whole helping random people thing and that just doesn't sound appealing to me. Also I already hated Yume after the first episode. I can't stand the whole airhead with a heart of goal thing.
I liked Nabari's art. It reminded me of Loveless, which none of you will have watched because eeew yaoi but was visually much more interesting than I was expecting, particularly the fight scenes.
Nabari's story... ehhh, not sure.
