Eh, he's one of many "All talk, no cock" characters. Surrounded by girls who want him, all he can think about is other girls.
Oh... Well that's too bad. I might still watch once i'm done with komugi which i have no idea why i haven't finished yet.

Not enough penis.
Seriously, Makoto from School Days is the only guy who can take advantage of his harem. Even Juinichi had to remain monogamous while dating 10 girls!

They were sympathetic while also not being total assholes. Of course in the end, they just felt like plot devices to make Renton even more miserable after getting a taste of a life that wasn't run by overgrown, no-empathy children.
They weren't, but I thought their flaws were more justified than the selfish asshatery of Gekkostate.

He doesn't like manly men. He like bishies.
I have no idea either. That show is perfect.

You just don't get it, DTL is more allergic to pussy than the Teh Hamburglar.
While i can't agree with you for sure, the first episode was pretty amazing.
Lots of people are allergic to cats. It's no big deal.

One Piece 25
The limited animation Toei uses in this show can be trying at times.
This is one of the least attractive deployments of the flashback blur I've seen.
It does seem like One Piece takes the JRPG approach to world building, where the protagonist's starting location happens to be the weakest place on the planet and the enemies steadily level up as he hops from place to place. I'm down with that. Political intrigue is not something I'd expect, given how vague the series so far has been on the setting, so I'm curious to see what that actually entails.
[Kids on the Slope]
Honestly, I don't find Sentarou and Kaoru's relationship to be designed with much of an eye towards fujoshi, unlike, say, the male relationships in Natsume's Book of Friends. It's a legitimate friendship, not just pretty boys casting longing glances at each other, and it's the strongest element of the show outside the performance scenes. Now there is a genuine pretty boy who shows up later, and the melodrama that results from his involvement as well as the tangled love triangles and late-game plot twists prevents the central relationship from developing as naturally as I would like. Based on your comments so far, I have a feeling you won't like where this ends up going.

I would be more excited for summer days but this is good news too.

They have finger sex in the first episode though.
Not news. Just hope.
There's hope for you to really enjoy the Arlong Park arc if you liked anything at all in Baratie. Mihawk's cameo in this arc is the very first thing in the series that indicates that there may be more to One Piece than goofy, non-threatening gimmick villains, sleepy island village locales, and minor characters that are discarded the moment that they outlive their immediate usefulness. Arlong Park shatters these notions entirely, so if you're seeing glimmers of what you already wanted out of the series, you should go into the next arc with greater enthusiasm.
Early One Piece with its washed-out early digital art is fairly ugly. This compounded with the polarizing art style makes it completely understandable as to why many are so resistant to even try the series.
Way to crush my dreams, man.

By my use of the word "much", I did intend to imply that there were some fujoshi-like elements. But I think even those, such as the emotional charge surrounding Kaoru's first encounter with Sentarou, are due more to the feminine perspective of the author than a desire to appeal to female otaku, which the series as a whole is not particularly friendly to.
[One Piece]
I'm not a fan of Oda's character designs, and certainly not a fan of how they look in the TV show so far. Movie 6 has vastly superior designs.

Tsuritama is the superior show. Once you get to its halfway point, you won't be able to let go until the end.

Asks questions so Ezalc doesn't have to
The gifs that keep on giving.
Agreed.
Kingdom is like Tari Tari this season, only worth watching the gifs and nothing more.
Accel world 3
Haru got inside Chiyuri's backdoor
Yeah, I'm sure that wasn't said about a million times...
Even if it was, it'd still be funny every time. Also, I can't believe I never made that connection.
Movie 6 designs where inferior to how the tv anime(water 7 arc) looked during it's release, so there was a lot of fan backlash when it was released.
What they did was remove all detail off the surface of the characters and over simplifying them into basic stick figure like shapes.

They either grow on you or you get used to them and find them merely tolerable. I'm squarely in the former camp. Oda's art style does go through some subtle shifts and the anime changes it entirely. I'm more a fan of the newer look. I think I'd actually have trouble going back and seeing the earlier stuff.

problem i got with the anime is stuff is quite inconsistent, and oda's art doesn't seem to look right at certain angles or during curtain animations.
I guess it's a similar issue i've had with ippo anime vs manga. Ippo looks way 'bigger' in the anime.
What if I told you she's like 95% of what makes Accel World so good.

Damn it, why did you have to post that? I was planning on watching The Prisoner relatively soon, now I'm not going to know what order to watch it in. :\ This shit is more complicated than Haruhi.
But it copied Fairy Tail.

Good thing I watched the episode, thats like litrally every scene there for kingdom...
Gundam Wing 31
Relena tries to have good plans, but well, just isnt good enough at them. Fortunately Heero and Quatre are smart.
Eh guess, Ill try Eureka Seven tomorrow now that Im done with Star Driver.
I remember being shocked when he did scale the wall and Diao rising to the occasion and actually landing his dart in someone, nervous at first but when the time demanded he did it, good job.

Good fight even if smallish, hopefully Quatre gets his suit back, as well as Duo, Wufei, and Trowa come back
