I can always strike now that I have a phone. And while I hate this phone everyone should get to Jun.
Well, y'know, if you need a frame of reference, Bleach filler is just above Pandora Hearts and just below Hitman Reborn. That should clarify things.
Liberta is the worst husbando ever, it's all about Luca

Better hope Luca gets more attention in the show then. Hard to be a good husbando if there's no attention on him!
Is that below, above, or tied with Trigun Badlands Rumble?

Aw this looks so cute and adora- what the fuck?

For a second there, I thought that related article was about getting boob jobs from taking the fat from hobos.
We needed back another Natsu no Arashi supporter.
Jesus Christ, man.

Well, it is The Sun.
Far, far above. The presence of a strong female character knocks it pretty far down the list!
Hey, I've been pimping it alongside firehawk the entire time!
But if you factor in the Wolfwood variable clearly the parameters of your scale tilt to another direction!

So 6 episodes in on Neon Genesis Evangelion.
Its ok so far.
Its ok so far.
Yay~ and it gets totally awesome...
Expected nothing less from Romeo.
Now I'm curious for Cosmic's scale.
Wolfwood's too old and grizzled to have any shounen appeal.

Seeing the 3.0 trailer makes me want to reexperience this. If I could only wipe my memory and go in fresh.

I highly recommend you just stop now.
Fuck, I forgot about that post.
Arcana Famiglia, aka Ouran Shinigami Host Club 01
+ the visual style is pretty nice, with thicker than normal (but not overdone) lines.
+ the 2nd half wasn't bad
+ it can't be as bad as recent shounens.
+ the first maid shown was pretty
- It had every cliche in the shounen book, within the first 3 minutes. Almost cringe-worthy.
- More tarot card stuff? Zzzzzz
- No indication at all that there's anything at stake besides some dumb family title and a wedding. (is the world in danger?)
- The mild action scenes kind of spammed the special effects/camera pans/etc for no reason.
- Emotional female character that needs rescuing, check (Rukia). Eyepatch guy, check (Zaraki). Shiny bald headed guy, check (Ikkaku). Cool older dude that likes younger girls, check (Shunsui). Hot-headed kid who fights without even trying to learn his abilities, check (Ichigo). His more level headed friend, check (Ishida). Top dog old man who doesn't like to listen to anybody, check (Yamamoto).
I'll stick with it for a few more episodes.

Kids these days don't appreciate a good badass!
I wonder if DTL batted an eye when everyone called Raven "old man" in Tales of Vesperia.
Natsuiro Kiseki 12 -END-
Everything wentbetter than exactly as expected.
Overall, this was a harmless slice of life show about friendship. Some off-model shots and episode 10's plot holes aside, it didn't commit any mistakes. There was nothing brilliant or even particularly interesting about the plot, but it set out to deliver a simple message, and it was delivered.
It'd probably be impossible for me to rewatch this, but I don't regret going through it once.

Going by some of the stuff I read from the game, there is more at stake than just a wedding.
I just want to know what his cutoff point is. 15? 18?
The first six or so episodes felt like Endless Eight. I kept telling myself the backgrounds are ridiculously nice, the music is good, "oh, look how this person interacted with that person, very believable!," etc. Bo-ring!
Evangelion picks up after that, but then...
... It becomes infinitely awesome.

I have committed myself.
I already dropped my commitment of finishing K-On today.
Isn't it shounen law to present the ultimate goal of the protagonist in the first episode? Luffy wants to be the Pirate King, Ichigo wants to protect his family and friends at all costs, the kid from HxH wants to be the greatest hunter, etc.

then you should watch only the good stuff, it's also healthier for your soul.
It sounds like the true goal of everyone in the show is just to

Shonen law? Isn't the show an adaptation of an otome game?
Isn't that the point of this genre?

I felt that this was a very nice ending to this story arc. Several of you will probably disagree, but that's just how things go, I suppose.
KyoAni still showing off those top-tier cinematography skills.

So the person who ended up getting Hotarou involved was his sister again? She's the third person (besides Hongou and Eru) who Irisu was chatting with on the computer?

Super bright colors, but I knew that from all the screenshots already. What I hadn't noticed before was that backgrounds are kind of splotchy, like a watercolor effect. It works better some places than others; wood can look like that, sort of, but a chalkboard?
I love characters who have to spend a lot of mental effort to navigate social situations, so Yuki was awesome, of course. Haru is that rare creature, a manic pixie dream guy, the Haruhi/Chitanda to Yuki's Kyon/Houtarou, but with less sexual tension...for now.
Vaguely Middle Eastern guy, hangs around with a duck...shades of Princess Tutu, anyone?
I wonder if fishing could be a viable topic for a straight-up sports shounen series.
Yuki's grandma is hot.

The Sacred Blacksmith 9
Luke finally explains why he wants women to stay in the kitchen. I guess it was a sad story... And seeing Cacily being forced to wear a dress was funny. At the very end some fucking ugly ass old guy comes up to Luke's house with a demon sword and starts sputtering nonsense and flailing around the sword's thunder powers. What is with this anime and really ugly old people?
Her name is "Lee-sa" not Lisa. Totally different people.
See? She's nothing like "Lee-sa."
Arcana Famiglia game spoilers
I didn't read everything about the game so I might be wrong but
the series is still about the wedding. It's just that some of the Arcana powers kinda screws over some of the characters.

This was a surreal experience. Hopefully the bizarre stuff in this show can stay entertaining or funny for a few more episodes.

At least they answered why didn't she ask EBA?
But still, very nice ending to the arc. Really enjoyed more of the imaginative methods of explanations and pretty cool to see Houtarou start getting worked up about some things. Nice to see the whole tarot cards return as well.

Hell yeah!
Having finished it literally minutes ago, I'd vouch for that recommendation if you don't like Shinji.
