Don't worry; it's not like I'm going to shun you if I don't like it. That can happen with any recommendation no matter how much I normally agree with the person making it.
Looks bad.
Unique doesn't mean good, although the designs aren't terrible or anything. But the Robotics:Notes designs are much better for animation, and most importantly, won't be animated by White Fox. Of course the show could still be bad.
Is _Keiichi_ under some kind of witness protection program or something? That's two name changes in only a few days isn't it?
I'm really not familiar with all the PreCure! merchandising but in terms of Smile PreCure! this seems to be a bit of a stretch haha. I think I like March's design the best because they look more adult or formal looking than the others, although I do like that colour of blue for Reika's glasses.
Thanks for the warning about the spoilers as well, since I haven't seen any of the other Precure's other than about half of the first.
I just wanted to say I agree with you and that this looks like one of the best anime characters to doll transitions that I've seen. Most times they come out looking really strange, even for the dolls based around Rozen Maiden it was kind of hit and miss in my opinion.
Maybe it's been happening for awhile and I never really payed attention to it since about the Halo and World of Warcraft novels but I noticed many of the big video games releases are getting novel adaptations or tie-ins as well. I even saw a Metal Gear Solid novel adaptation but I'm not really sure what the point of that is since there's so much dialogue in the games already played out through codec screens.
I missed where anyone mentioned it was fake. I was just wondering where you saw that?
Indeed, it needs more Mor!
Ah, I see. So that's why you watched all of it.
Move over eye-patch Moe!, a girl on team hippopotamus is sporting the new one eye closed moe!
It's kind of funny how Shaft has only announced the project and revealed the character designs for the show and yet they've already got people guessing left and right. Will it be like Madoka? Will it be a traditional Mahou Shoujo? Will it start out traditional and then due to some plot twist switch over? Maybe in some weird way vice versa? Should we or should we not trust the bunny mascot?
Haha, mind games are so much fun!

Man this Nyaruko doll looks nice.

irl friend hyped it up as one of the best anime ever and being a good friend he essentially made me watch it all

The Creed comparison isn't bad.
Kokoro Connect 5
Based on last week's preview I was fully prepared to drop this show on the spot if the DORAMA got too heavyhanded. Thankfully, what we got instead was
. Shit was awesome. I'm glad I managed to power through some of it in the end.
As good as that was, though, there are still some pretty glaring flaws about these characters that just plain make no sense to me.
Taichi is constantly saying, and is constantly being told that
. Over the course of the show there has been NO EXAMPLE WHATSOEVER of this being even remotely true, at least not any that I recall.
.
Iori claims that
and, again we never actually see this depicted in the show at any point. Granted, most of her interactions we've seen are with either this group at school or her mother but still, we're supposed to just take her word for it because the show has never deemed it fit to actually show us that this true.
Inaba comes up with an excuse for
. The others seem to ignore the fact that it makes no sense whatsoever to correlate one thing with the other and
I'm sure that'll come in handy for when the show decides to pick up that particular plot point later on. At least we got to find out about her
out of the whole thing so there's that, I guess.
Yui is
. Frankly I thought it was stupid that she managed to hide it as well for so long when for the longest time it looked to me like she got along just fine with everybody but whatever, I'll let it slide because hey, maybe I was fooled as well! Oh show, you so smart.

hilarity as a mysterious being decides to troll the everloving fuck outta some dumb kids

Taichi is constantly saying, and is constantly being told that
he is somewhat emotionless and that he has trouble expressing himself to other people
The guy expresses himself just fine from where I'm standing, perhaps much more than most people, even, so I have no clue what the hell these kids are seeing in him that I'm not
Iori claims that
due to certain circumstances she has conditioned herself to basically switch personalities and act like a different person depending on which group of people she's with
Inaba comes up with an excuse for
her fainting and generally sickly behavior by claiming that it's because she's unable to trust others easily
for some reason accept her painfully and obviously made up excuse no questions asked and decide to never bring it up again, ever.
masturbatory material

secretly afraid of men

Well, it's not funny when the punchline is the same every single time. At the very least, I'd like to stop finding the main character annoying. Unless this is a spiritual sequel to OreImo.
I guess it's a question of whether this is an anime that's supposed to stand on its own or whether its a long commercial for the manga.
But then we'd get to see wideface in real life!
Oh... never mind then.
Oh man, I hope the puppet is stuck on his shoulder for the entire show.

I hope Aoki gets some relevance and it doesnt become, well I like Taichi, an all Taichi anime, as they should make use of both of them.

He's the harem lead and the other guy is the hapless sidekick.

I would say the situation is kind of like a more reasonable Medaka Box, because it's funny right from the beginning, but as far as plot advancement/character development that sticks goes, there won't be much of it until the end. At least next episode changes up the formula a bit by introducing the 3rd main character.
Sounds amazing. Lighting the mandoric signal.

I guess I can see that even if I don't entirely agree. Though I didn't really think it was the kind of show that needed super high production values in the first place. I have no idea for Robotics;notes since I'm not familiar with it, but I guess it could go either way since Chaos;head was rather actiony.
The characters look like really generic anthros of starter Pokemon.
Well, here's one PV you won't have to wait for offscreen footage of: Sakurasou no Pet na Kanojo.

Apparently they're making it into a PSP/Vita game as well: http://d-game.dengeki.com/sakurasou/

Boy meets helpless girl
that's the dream
that's the dream
Naturally SHAFT would be much too cheap to attempt actual animation if they don't need to.
All shows need high production values, it's just easier to tolerate low production values in some shows than others.

Huh, seems slightly better than the synopsis, but mostly due to the potential of the supporting cast.
Sigh, will probably try it out.
looks bad

If all shows had high production values, there wouldn't be an anime industry.
I'm not even giving this a chance. This is where I draw the line.
other shows
<-------------------------------right here.
sakurasou no pet na kanojo
I'm pretty sure that shows whose trailers have that shitty bubblegum techno with synth violins have a perfect record of being bad.
Seems to be way too high maintenance. Not waifu material at all.

Not even as a potential #sufferwatch?
unique has generally positive reactions from me regardless of how well its animated
im tired of seeing what looks like the same characters over and over

The anti nichijou actually. Both produce great gifs but for completely opposite reasons.
I like how they handled the ahoge.
He who controls the doujins controls the otakuverse after all.
Suffering is an art! Not just any old bad show will do. Watching something loaded down with terrible otaku tropes all played straight is the easy way out. There's something much more exquisite about the badness of shows like Brave 10 and Shining Hearts: Shiawase no Pan that at least eschew the usual high school romcom premise for something else.

Told you she was really cute!

If it's all about the jokes, it needs a bigger cast to mitigate the fact that for the last six episodes, most of the jokes end with Sakura punching someone to the moon or being otherwise tsundere.
Also, it was funny when she didn't learn the lesson the first time with her butler, because that just subverts expectations. Now it just makes her dense or selfish.
Is Brave 10 really that bad though?
I don't know who that is. Probably because they keep changing their name.
I'm down with this, but I'll wait for the announcement of studio and staff before I let myself be more interested. It sounds like the kind of thing that's going to have to be handled just so in order to work.
Nah, I've seen this show several times already.
Another PV you can watch right now: BTOOOM!, thanks to animeinakon:

Brave 10 is just an average reverse-harem though. It even ships two the harem members together for maximum fuji bait.
It's superbly bad.
If you haven't seen it, find a day in your summer (winter?) to squeeze it in and you can assign me a show in return. It doesn't have to be now or any time soon.
It might be an average reverse harem, but pretty much everything else about the show is either terrible or insane! Lovers of bad anime would appreciate Brave 10 just on the merits of its laughably horrid fight choreography, much less the presence of memorable characters like hammy psychopath Kamanosuke.

Yes, which is why I'm saying it's in the intro phases. 3 or 4 episodes of different takes on the same formula should not be enough for it to feel old. This is to ease you into the premise and get a feel for the character's personalities. Yeah, it gets better when the cast gets larger, but that's how it is with most long-running comedies (at least until it jumps the shark). Gintama wasn't a quarter as funny as this in the same time period.
See my edit! You were so blinded by the harem stuff that you didn't notice everything else, hahahah.

QUALITY in a PV means the show will suck or? (0:47 - 0:50)
fuck yeah!

I would be more interested in this show if it didn't have a girl with absurdly large breasts getting molested.
Behold, the show floor. Where currency and doujins exchange hands at rapid speed.
Impressive.
At least theyre not hikikimoris.
Delicious.
Definitely going to get figurines.
When is that supposed to air?
