Who does Mayaka have to kill to get on that list?
Surprisingly, according to his MAL account, he watched every episode. Unsurprisingly he gave it a rating of 2/10.
From the impressions he posted I thought he would have dropped it after the first episode. Maybe he's just another masochist amongst the AnimeGaf crowd.

That reminds me, did firehawk ever actually finish Arjuna?

Hey, if you sleep with all the girls in a relatively small environment something is probably going to go wrong at some point! Perhaps they take it a little bit too far, but that's how you get some attention from the audience.
Mind explaining why?
It's hard to like kuroyukihimesenpai when so many other people do... ditto for Niko.
Chiyu sucks so she's out of the running. Sky Raker is total bandwagon. I think I'll go for (spoilers for l8r)
Ash Roller.

A good proportion of people watched back in 2010 when it originally aired. It was the source of some fairly interesting and lengthy debates about characters and their actions given the situations they found themselves in. Looking back, I may have enjoyed those discussions and arguments more than the show itself because I found the pacing to be quite painful during the first half. Yes, it's important to establish tone and setting and pace before the story can progress but they went overboard with that.

Re: Cutie Honey end
Awesome finale. Once again, it was hard for my eyes to keep up at points since there was just so much shit happening. This is such a fantastic modernization of the first magical girl anime ever, that I bet Go Nagai was super happy with it.
Even ignoring the art style, this sure did have a lot of Go Nagai-isms. The over exaggerated ecchi (though not on the same level as Meramera), the cops being portrayed as children, even the plot being more than it initially seems.
I don't have much experience with the franchise before this, so I'm not sure if the villain's motivation has been used before in this, but I thought it was a very well done
motivation. It even brought up
and portrayed it in an unusually negative light (as it's always seen as a good thing). I thought that was cool too since I always kind of saw it as some kind of identity dilemma plot point that way too much fiction gets away with without ever really addressing.
Then we got the final fight. Not really much to say about it other than it was incredibly well choreographed and animated. This is the kind of stuff that wouldn't be out of place in say, Panty and Stocking. Really cool stuff.
How sweet.

GIMP is a really great program.
I cant comment on Sky Raker yet but I would definitely give the fights a higher ratio.
Eru Chitanda, obviously.

I never found anything interesting or endearing about Renton as a character. Or Eureka. Or Holland. There aren't many members of that cast that I have any kind of interest in or felt any connection or affinity too beyond Anemone and Dominic.

Ah yes, but sometimes they do. That's why School Days is basically a documentary.
I kind of wish there was more episodes of Miracle Train as your impressions were quite entertaining to read.
Those fellows sounded like some of the worst advice givers you could meet. Although the persons they were supposed to help seemed pretty daft as well, so maybe they were just playing with them. It seems perhaps to be a combination of both.
Yeah well, that's just, like, your opinion, man.

Hope it was worth it. lol
I was big on skating back in the day, trying to get sponsored
The cast of casuals who love their (very) extreme sport appealed on that level.
they weren't particularly interesting, but that's also part of why they were easier to relate to.
fuck animes that have designated personality types and static characters
I'm probably way behind on this, but (NSFW) this TLRD mousepad really sold for 117,600 yen? Dedication.

Indeed. lol
I suppose "Haters gonna hate" is appropriate here.
Oh no not that shit again! Let it die a death.
This, I agree with. Saying logical conclusion seemed like a bit of a leap; however, I see what you were getting at now. There being repercussions is the logical conclusion, not what those repercussions might entail.
Should have picked a better girl

Everything on the package looks legit from the stickers and packaging.
It's not unusual for bootlegs to have some work put into their packaging, unfortunately. I have no idea who the official distributors are for that series, but I find 50 episodes on 2 discus to be an absurd number.
i wonder if there's a camel toe engraved into the other side of the pad
Yeah.
Licensing Companies do not stuff that many episodes on one or two discs no matter what their budget is.

Or an eye with a reflection of stuff in it.
thats more than a little bit distracting
Oh hell no!
If I didn't have the knowledge that I could reasonably expect to knock this series out in a day I would never have started it, lol.
You're right about the end result being a team effort of stupidity between the train bishies and the women, though. If the terrible advice from the men wasn't able to play off of the terrible decision-making of the women, the end result wouldn't have been nearly as ludicrous.
I feel cheated. I was promised #gamechanger but ended up getting #lamechanger. You should be ashamed!
I've owned bootlegs that have better packaging than the real thing. You'd be surprised what's out there.
Out all the anime dvds I bought this year, I really like the packaging of the NIS premium sets.

It is. For me, barely having any interesting or likeable characters is one of Eureka Seven's biggest problems, the large problem being the shows pacing.
If I'm supposed to follow the exploits of characters over the course 51 episodes then it would help if I felt something for them in the slightest, that I cared whether they lived or died, that I was moved by their trumps and their tragedies. Sadly, none of this was the case during my experience with the show. Unlike, say, cosmicblizzard, I didn't hate Renton but he wasn't anyone that I cared about in the slightest.
Aniplex did a great job on the Oreimo re-release. Great disc art.

Love the silly gunfire transition. Everything else is wack.
naked girls in suitcases and other stuff... you sure this was on toonami back in the day?

Hey, they challenged the very premise of the show! #gamechanger by definition! lol
Also, due to Space Battleship Yamato, I've been watching random episodes of Babylon 5 season 4. Man, I still don't know if it was a good idea or bad idea to let JMS write every single episode in season 3, 4, 5. lol

When does it start plumbing ridiculous naval warfare cliches?
Nah, I'm sure firehawk12 would appreciate that Infinite Ryvius goes for submarine warfare, rather than standard naval warfare. There's even an in-universe explanation because something has happened to space which alters it's structure, meaning that different regions have different 'pressures' and if you sink too low your ship will implode.
oh so this was more like the way that people use #gamechanger on Gaming Side when some shitty Vita app gets announced

Considering that Season 4 of Babylon 5 is my favorite season of any TV show ever, I'd say it was a very good idea.

Looking at the show as a whole it actually feels like the main thrust of the work.
Outlaw star, vandread, Tylor, nadesico, cowboy bebop, kiddy grade... Space anime used to be awesome. what the fuck happened?
Aniplex does a great job with everything.
Except pricing.
