and people said that show wasn't cute.

Well I'm not sure how anyone could say it isn't cute.
Wait people said Nichijou wasn't cute?
Who are these people?
I hope to never meet them.
durarara'!!, now with less shitty kids!

Yeah, seeing her actually fight like that and win was one of the best things in the series up to this point.
Yeah, that it's not all otaku humor really is the best thing about it. I mean, I like some otaku-humor shows -- I loved Lucky Star, for instance -- but that this actually isn't all pandering stuff definitely makes it even better.
Unfortunately, that's probably the same reason that it didn't sell too well... but hey, at least they made it, and made it great.
Hah... yeah.
I agree, Nakamura's just not good around other living creatures... or unliving ones for that matter. Poor cat... poor Nakamura... poor Nano, if she knew what Nakamura wants to do to her... :lol
Woah, that's impressive. Nichijou has plot progression after all, who'd have thought it?
Interestingly, she appears in episode 3 briefly which is well before she is introduced. This would be of course her returning home to find Sakamoto gone. This is also the spot Sakamoto was before he was taken in so she just missed him.
Wait, one of GAF's top yuri-fans hasn't watched Saki? Really? Get on it, now! You'll like it.
Envelope, always living up to his tag.
Can't say it better.
Hey, it was about a third, a third, and a third, between shots from ep. 11, fanservice stuff, and nice art...
I don't know, but I sure hope not.Ahhh, they're doing Bakemonogatari then? That makes more sense.
Are they going to be delayed for months though? lol
I don't know, it might be better quitting with ep. 9 of Upotte and leaving with the false impression that it might have a well-done ending, instead of watching it and being disappointed.
But by not having a personality and by being so servile, she has opinions and desires that are different than mine.

That's the only reason I remain vaguely hopeful.
That'd be neat. That arc is pretty good.

Normally I would complain that the show was basically killing time, with the credits 9 minutes into the episode and shamelessly using flashbacks. But, the flashbacks were funny since they weren't true and then they broke the 4th wall so laughs all around.
Yeah, I'm not watching that.

Nichijou is definitely funnier than it is cute, though. No question.
Yeah, and the first season's amazing quality gets all the more impressive if you ever look at the source material (or don't)... it's certainly an outstanding show, fantastic beginning to end.
What was this from, again?
It's true, shorten that gap and then I will marry you.
Yeah, there's nothing wrong with normal-length skirts, I agree. Yuuko would not look better with a miniskirt.
You thought it would be reasonable? Was this before you watched the series?
The anime is quite thorough, but the OVAs skip around a bit more, and the series goes on well past the most recent OVA, too. There's definitely more than enough material for a second season, and I hope it gets one eventually. SYD definitely has repeating-jokes syndrome pretty bad, but fortunately its jokes that it repeats are funny, so it works well enough.
Hedgehog's dilemma? I don't remember what that is, was that something in the movie?
Oh, okay, this one's a bit easier to understand.
In answer to both of these, though, my biggest problem with it is that
that it seemed really out of character for him to do something violently cruel to an ally like that. I know he'd fought enemies, and killed that one guy he liked when the guy forced him to, but nothing like that to a friend without cause... it was something that hurts his character, and for no good reason, and right at the end of the series, too. What were they thinking...
I am certain there would be far better ways to represent what you say here (his frustration but embracing of the world, if that's really what that's supposed to be) than that is.

I always finished somewhere in the middle of the "monocle vs. mustache" lists, but yeah, that's a much better attitude than the one in the quote.
And hey, here's one of the people on that list proving the truth of what I just said, in the very next post! How convenient.

I'm fairly excited. The whole series revolves around questions concerning the cyborg/handler relationship so the more time they spend on exploring that the better.

Yeah, that's got to be one of the best uses of "flashbacks" I've seen. That and the first episode of Miami Guns... :lol
It makes a lot more sense in the manga (and probably also LN) where she doesn't start out anywhere near as useless as she is in the anime. But even in the anime, she had done a pretty good amount of training to get up to that point, it's not like it just happened with no effort.
It's good to see Saki and AKB near the top, and Natsuiro Kiseki's a decent show, it really is. It's not great, but it's decent.
Nothing's wrong with it, really. Though if it was a flaming trainwreck with fireworks, it probably wouldn't get that kind of comments... but it's not that kind of show, and it is better for it.
Yeah.
Personal opinions, of course.
The characters in Natsuiro Kiseki are as good as the characters in almost any anime series, so what you say at the end of that there is only as true here as it is for almost anything in the genre. Heck, they have more depth than plenty of anime characters, I think... so no, I think you're off base.
Inu x Boku SS? What does that have to do with Natsuiro Kiseki? I can't think of too much they have in common...
It's not quite as bad as that, really. Ep. 10 is a beach episode, but overall it's not nearly as creepy as you might expect.
I don't know, if you consider that the alternative is Rei, Asuka looks pretty good, I think...
Don't say that, it can't be true...
The teaser trailer they showed for the anime has Jonathan Joestar going "SUNLIGHT YELLOW OVERDRIVE!!" so it's going to be starting from the beginning it seems. PHANTOM BLOOD TV SERIES HERE WE COME!

Ladies VS Butlers! 5
Ah, finally we learn why Tomomi and Selnia have such a bitter rivalry. And the first half of this episode's animation seemed rather poor, but it looked like they saved their budget on the glorious second half. Since most of the scene is inappropriate according to google, you'll just have to take my word for it. Oh and I'm not at all surprised at the twist about Daichi. They could not make it anymore obvious.
They're eating her, and then they're going to eat me!
For a school for proper ladies, most sure don't act very ladylike.

did bamco just save gaming and anime?
can't be.
can't be.
I waited months to post this so as to not be a spoilsport.
Is this a review by the guy in charge of the censorship torch? He sounds sour that he wasn't hired for the job.
It's funnier than their current effort.

Jormungand
Loved it. I was wary at first because it gave me a major Cowboy Bebop and Black Lagoon vibe in the beginning (and for good reason), but it's execution seemed week (The show can be pretty cheesy at times). The show grew on me pretty quickly and I thoroughly enjoyed watching it.
It is very similar to Black Lagoon and in some ways similar to Cowboy Bebop, but the characters, Koko especially, give the show a life of its own. To anyone who may be turned off by the similarity to Black Lagoon I will say this: It is a lot more tame in comparison, and Jormungand isn't all about "Fuck lets shoot everyone because we can."
Also the soundtrack is pretty darn good.
Definitely looking forward to the second season.

Fall is shounen season and I couldn't be happier (unless we got even MORE awesome adaptations like Akame ga Kill or Choujin Gakuen)!
Because it had worse animation than Double J? Wait... Double J... JoJo. Oh God, it's going to be a five minute flash based sketch show.
Well it probably won't look nearly as good as the OVAs.
Of course it doesn't help that Araki's character designs must be hell to animate.
And that Jonathan looks like a CG model...
...that's the video game.

Subete no aware
Because of Geneijin, I feel the need to watch the "prequel" to the show, even though it's not a real prequel.
You might want to watch the live action movie version of ParaKiss for kicks though. lol
I still wonder if it's a cultural thing or if Japanese people think it's equally batshit insane.
No, I'm talking about the teaser for the TV series.
(Jonathan wasn't shown in that trailer for the video game)
That doesn't look like CGI.
I don't know, the art/animation look very odd to me... Like CG animation with a low frame rate.
Not sure how to put it... It feels unnaturally "blocky".
