... Got like 40 pages to catch up on... gah.
Also, I see 69.7% anime compatibility there... that's the highest number I've seen yet, even above the 69.1% I got with firehawk12.
Yeah, that sketch wasn't so good. The rest of the episode was great, but... Akari alone? Just didn't quite work, it got boring. The ending of the sketch was predictable, too.
Haibane Renmei is of course one of the greatest tv anime series ever, but it's such a plot/character-driven series that it's hard to say much without spoilers I don't want to give... so yeah, just keep watching the show.
1/10? Yeah, that sounds about right. But why didy ou keep watching it, after the start made it obvious what an atrocious series it is?

Yeah, Momo and Yumi's appearance was great.
You are correct, she wears only that sweatshirt and some shoes. Nothing else. It took you this long to notice? I guess that's Achiga-hen's somewhat less fanservicey tone at work, versus the main series.
Good episode indeed, lots of fun. It was a haremey episode, but better than most such episodes in the first season. The insanely upbeat tone this season has held from the start continues too. Great stuff!Dog Days' 4
...yup. I am satisfied.
It's one of the best.
It's more than just that...
With praise such as that, makes me want to watch it today! (Not really)oda nobuna no yabou - 03
Probably the most progressive anime since ro-kyu-bu.
Indeed, and it's perfect exactly as it is.

That was quite a solute. Damn...
That was quite a solute. Damn...
Yes, this one is amazing.
Good thing it can be replaced by girls und panzer next season.
Nah, Pdot at least is going to have a Girls und Panzer avatar willingly so we won't be able to foist it on anyone as a joke. It has to be something that AnimeGAF universally deems beyond reproach.
What is the meaning of this? Is this new anime going to be some kind of awesome crazy loli type show?

Nanoha franchise post.
They're so over the top...
For instance (problems with Strikers):
Etc.
However, still,
You can't beat friendship-making via beam spam! So good...Nanoha 9
So much magic circles <3
So from what i've seen so far, it does seem the movie hit most of the key plot points of this 'season'.
My opinion of this show is getting... a bit better over time. It's a lot better than it has any right to be.
Nanoha S1 is way better than average.
The (first) Nanoha movie adds more nudity than the TV serieses ever had, which I found somewhat messed up. It was already maybe too much as it was, but the movie had to go and make it detailed... sigh. Anyway though, yeah, that is true.
A's has great everything. Great cast, good plot, great action, great friendship-making, and more!
Well yeah, think of the creepy fans they're trying to please! (Remember, Nanoha is shonen, not shoujo.)
What are you talking about? The Nanoha franchise always was shonen. Where were you in season one? The whole concept was a magical girl show aimed at a primarily male audience and with action as good as anything you'll find in mecha shows. (got to love the beam spam!)
Ah beam spam, you're great. Nanoha's attacks are one of the best things about the show, really.Nanoha A 7

Mahou shoujo is serious business.
Great stuff with some surprisingly decent fight animation. tuxedo mask of this show is quite OP.
And i love divine buster. yummy.
They're so over the top...This is anime, swords are better than everything, always! On that note, Sacred Blacksmith sword cutting animation.gif
I give the first season an 8, easily, and the second a 9 for sure. Great two seasons, some of the best of whatever genre you put them in.
I'm looking forward to it.
See below for my thoughts on StrikerS in detail. But yes, it was a huge, huge disappointment when it released. And the franchise (outside of anime) only went downhill from there, until the first movie.
They have twice as many episodes, as either previous season, but manage to do a lot less worth mentioning with all that time. Yeah, it's not good.
Yeah. It's not a terrible show -- if you want worst Nanoha, go read the manga Force, it's atrociously stupid (and really is a harem show with a male lead, too) -- but StrikerS is way too close to that for comfort. It could have been so much better, too... the older character ages is fine, but they mess up so many things that the potential promise of that timeskip was completely lost, unfortunately.
For instance (problems with Strikers):
-The dog characters are never seen in human form, I'm pretty sure. The male one certainly isn't, at least. Why isn't he? There's no stated reason.
-Too many new characters -- the focus is divided too many ways, it just doesn't really work. Needed a narrower focus, more on Nanoha and Fate and less on the too-many new characters.
-On that note, the new characters are okay, but aren't as good as Nanoha and Fate.
-Having Nanoha having gotten hurt in the past so she can't use full power much anymore except for extremely short bursts was a terrible plot point. By taking away her power, it really ruined a lot of what made her so great in the first two seasons.
-Less interesting villain.
-Action is much less consistent than A's. StrikerS has one good part near the end, but most of the rest of it's very subpar.

That was one of the better things about the season, agreed. There wasn't enough of it though, and it doesn't outweigh the negatives for sure.Oh I forgot to mention the yuri. Well that's one good aspect of StrikerS
However, still,
Nanoha and Fate are raising an adopted daughter, and sleep in the same bed too. The implications are obvious.
Probably so, yeah.
The movie is right in line with the quality level of the first two seasons, but after how mediocre StrikerS was, and then how the serise went away for a while (apart for those subpar mangas) for several years, yeah, it was kind of surprising to see how great the first movie was (apart from the overdone fanservice early on in the film, as I said). I mean, they'd shown they could do that well before -- they did in the first two seasons, after all -- but it'd been a while... but fortunately, they did it. Too bad about StrikerS though, certainly.
Very much so.
You should be looking forward to ToLoveRu Darkness, not tankgirls. Yabuki caters to everyone. Truly a visionary.
I'll keep this in mind.
Typical Mayaka fan.

So is he like the Fifty Shades of Grey woman?
Or are LNs like the rest of the industry, where everyone is working for pennies.
I think it's more similar to manga/books industry where you can live off well if you hit it big.

I suppose there's something "funny" about an industry where the books makes more money than the anime. lol
This is what we've got so far. Any more picks ladies and gentlemen?
I expected you guys to be a lot crueler with your choices.
By the way, I'm still not convinced this isn't the serial killer from Hyouka. Who is it (your avatar)?

I don't know how that's funny, writing a book is insanely low-margin. You only have one creative person to pay and there's basically no material cost in terms of production of the work.

Probably my problem as well (why no one I've checked even hits 70%); part because my tastes are a bit different, part because I use 7 as average and have 8 as my most commonly used score.
Anyway, this post is about great animes.
It's a show about the characters in a strange and unique world, so it makes sense to take some time in exploring who they are and what they're like. Once the plot moves, though, it will really move...Haibane Renmei 4
There's a common theme running through this episode.
Crows are assholes.
Beyond that, this episode is about Rakka spending a day with Kana. Kana's an awesome spunky Makoto-type character, so I had a good time with this episode. Her boss is great too.
Pictured: Kana dealing with asshole crows.
Everything has its place in the world of the show, and Rakka's still trying to figure out how it all fits together. The show is really taking its time in unfolding everything about the characters and what they do, so there's a lot of room for girls to do cute things while they talk about their lives. It's pretty nice to watch it once a week.
I wonder what else crows will do in episodes to come.
It's not just a series about cute girls doing cute things, though, and that episode's one example of why... and anyway, she did that
because the whole point of the test was to see how well they could do without such things.
Certainly is, yes.
Nodoka's constant full-body blush is a sight to behold, sure.
I know it's been said (and I've said it recently too), but Texhnolyze is horrendously depressing, bleak, and hopeless. It's also got some major unexplained plot elements; don't expect everything to make complete sense at the end. However, despite those things, it's absolutely brilliant, and is easily my favorite apocalypse anime ever. Of course the ABe character designs help too, but the story and writing (apart from those unexplained parts) are just as good. Texhnolyze is a serious, very high quality, and thoughtful series about the worst and most tragic of events. It's violent too, when it needs to be, but it's not pointlessly violent, I wouldn't say.
Yeah, you should. Don't watch it if you're feeling down, though... it will not help, to say the least.
I don't know if there's an uncensored version or not, but it is a somewhat dim series, yeah, lighting-wise...
It definitely is somewhat confusing, that is true. Some things are explained, but not everything.
I don't know, I thought it was good to break up watching that series (I watched it a bit at a time too). I mean, yeah, the constant cliffhangers make you want to keep going, but that much depression all at once would get to be a bit much...One part that stood out was Hobo CaimIt was equal parts hilarious and agonizing.tying his severed arm and leg to his waist and then dragging himself to the city.
Visually it isn't perfect, and I'm sure certain members of GAF would have a field day with the CG parts, but some of the art is still really striking. It's driving me nuts that I can't take screenshots since I'm watching it on my TV.
Hopefully there's more of psychotic doctor lady. Thatwas super hawt. Thoraxes or anyone else who's seen this:mostly-implied sex sceneThis knowledge is critical to my viewing experience.are there dongs in the uncensored version?
Finally, fuck Netflix and its disc-by-disc method! I want more but now I'm stuck until Wednesday.
OH SHIET
The time has come, fuck yeah!!!

what a way to end. Overall a fun show. I think i liked nadesco a bit more though. And i do love the ship designs. Feels like yamato with some star trek.
7/10
How can you forget about the food they fed him. This show doesn't try to hide anything, the girls are bold.

Oh jeez, I thought this was a musical in the same sense as Red Garden. Wasn't expecting someone to break out into song literally every 10 seconds. Sorry Nabeshin, full musicals aren't my thing :/

Well, in the grown up world, the IPs fuel the movies/TV shows that make the big money.
Certainly its the case in the comic book world, where I'm sure even Smallville has made more money than any of the Superman books over the same period of time.
It's Oreki's sister!

Yes, any further and they would have raped the guy.
Would you have enjoyed that?

Yeah, it's excellent so far. And as far as violence goes, I'm a complete pansy. That I was getting genuinely excited when
the protag beat the katana dude into a bloody mess
I couldn't stand the wait so I've been streaming it on Hulu, and switched Boogiepop Phantom into the Netflix queue.
I marathoned School Days from the middle of the night to seven in the morning, when I was the most mentally unprepared. I can take this.

Who wouldn't?
Not anyone i can think of.
It's not rape if you enjoy it.
Wait, I mean
Can't wait to see the shitty CG in an even higher resolution making it look even more shitty.

Are you wonzo?
id say that people who have any kind of rape fetish have a very warped understanding of what rape actually is
No, because he'd be looking forward to seeing the shitty CG!

By your sister? That's what the show is about. He's taking painful measures in order to not have sex with his long lost sister.
I feel that this post is very meta.
