I think E7 AO, Joshiraku, the Can't sleep with my Little Sister one and the Chocolate LN one.
Though for some of them, they are airing two episodes after another to catch up to regular pacing I believe.
Its un-possible.
But then again, you know femmeworth.
Bad eyes is bad excuse. My eyes are probably worse.
Can someone explain to me why so many people are excited about this show when it's my understanding that the original To Love-ru is terrible crappy magical girlfriend harem stuff? Are there just more tits in Darkness or something? It's not going to make me suddenly care about the show either way, but I am somewhat bemused as to why it seems so popular.
I'm guessing that's it.
I was wondering the same actually. I've seen it namedropped for a while now but I have no idea why.
it's so much more than that
Full-frontal nudity? Explicit sex?
DARKNESS sex
I'm kind of interested in seeing how different it is, since Darkness comes after the comic book artist's (ex)wife took his dignity, money and sanity. But I'll be comparing the animes instead of the source material, so it'll be a distorted effect.

I was interested in Magi until the staff announcement. :|
If I wanted porn, I would just watch/look at porn.
we're talkin stealth shots of "uncensored" vaginas in the reflection of a characters eyes or drops of water.
Sword Art Online 03:
I've avoided reading any discussion on the show since I fell behind, so forgive me if I dredge up issues that have already been discussed to death.
Let's get this out of the way first: everything about this show pisses me off. The cheap hamfisted emotional manipulation, Kirito's dumbshit inconsistent illogical attitude toward pretty much everything, minor characters lacking any similarity to actual human behavior whatsoever who exist solely to complicate things, the fact that the game world is apparently so boring that they can skip fucking half of it in a single episode and expect no one to notice, the utter absurdity of the premise continually undermining the believability of the drama (not that there's been any good drama yet anyway), everything.
I mean, Kirito--what's this guy's deal? We go from the whole
declaration in the previous episode to
. Then he's back to
. Somehow Kirito still feels like a non-character to me but this can't possibly be true when so much happens to him in the course of a single episode.
This episode had its share of other crazy shit, though:
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
And I'm probably forgetting other stuff.
For all the problems I have with this, I'm still very compelled to watch more, if only to see what levels of incredulity I can reach.

I mean, Kirito--what's this guy's deal? We go from the whole
"fuck you guys I'm the greatest gamer in the history of gaming and I'll beast the whole game solo"
Kirito cooperating with a random guild and playing nice and letting people get experience points and items that he could easily take for himself while concealing his true power level from these guys for who knows what benefit other than to be DARK AND MYSTERIOUS and I suppose a dash of paranoia that these dudes are going to be like the morons from the first level screaming BEATER RABBLE RABBLE if it's discovered just how good at the game he is
lone wolf again because he's angsting over his own misplaced blame over his guild's deaths, gives the only guy in the whole game that cares whether he lives or dies the cold shoulder, and throws away an immensely valuable item just because he can't use it on a cute girl that he hang out with for a little while
This episode had its share of other crazy shit, though:
-
one of the beater guys killing himself in front of Kirito because WHY
-
The Black Cat guild suddenly being one-shotted by normal enemies just to facilitate tragedy
-
SKIPPING THE WHOLE FUCKING FIGHT with the Santa Claus boss
-
jumping from level 1 to 11 to 28 to 49 over the course of a single episode
-
the cringeworthy tearjerker scene with dead girl humming Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
-
Kirito not warning the Black Cat guy about the trap room until after he'd opened the chest
-
lazily telegraphing the girl's death waaaaay ahead of time with the "I don't want to die" conversation
And I'm probably forgetting other stuff.

Sounds like the guy would be happier just making straight-up porn.
Surely this is a reason to not be excited for the anime? If they can get away with that kind of thing in a TV broadcast I'll be very surprised, so surely the whole thing will end up fogged over and mosaic-ed to hell and back to get the audience to buy the discs? In fact, the original To Love-ru was censored on broadcast, wasn't it - why would this be any different?
Yabuki is a God and Pioneer in the ecchi genre, and moving anime as a whole into the glorious future.

I guess there are not many A-class animes left without a BD-release (apart from the early digital produced shows). Maybe we will see Bluray releases for stuff like Agent Aika or Golden Boy sooner or later.

Sounds more like moving anime into a dark and seedy alleyway.
You may see it as that; I see it as the promised land.
It transitioned from terrible crappy magical girlfriend harem stuff to still bad but hilarious and audacious alien harem smut.
So basically you were right on the dot.
Kawamori was right.

Which shitty otaku shows are you interested in?

To-love ru is a relatively standard harem series that's maybe slightly more risque than the norm. However, it was prematurely cancelled after the author's wife went fuckin nuts and stole their daughter.
It was brought back in the form of To-love ru Darkness after everything had been sorted out, but this time it moved from Weekly Shounen Jump to Jump Square, the monthly version where the author could get away with a lot more. This was also around the time of the Youth Ordinance bill, so the theory is the guy decided to see just how far he could take the series without it getting cancelled. The result was a product constantly skirting the line between okay and not okay, venturing far past the latter on more than 1 occasion. There is even 1 chapter where
a completely uncensored vagina is visible in the reflection of a character's eye,
It's just something that needs to be experienced.
Rinne no Lagrange - 12 [First Season END]
Not even 5 minutes in and they deliver!
And then...
My heart, it hurts so much. ;~;
Onward to season 2!

Even though it was for a school film, I believe those words were real!

Why couldn't you pull her in for a kiss Madoka?! Damn it! Damn it!
Onward to season 2!
Anime fans are mysterious beings.
But seriously, you probably answered your own question. It's probably not worse than your average magical girlfriend harem #4345454.

Yeah, people want Yabuki to just do porn at this point.
Consider me convinced.
Shitty otaku shows better than Girls Und Panzer aka Upotte 2. Oh wait, gif.
R;N VN isn't that good so the anime might not be. My gif was too cute and made my mood good so I'm adding something less antagonistic! ! ! ! !
Heh, heh, heh, heh...

Subete no aware
Yeah, I read the wiki article too. I have no idea how it works. Without the flowers, it just looks like any other kind of leafy potted plant... so maybe leafy potted plants do their own thing. lol
And with Smile, at least they can rotate between the girls to base episodes around them. With two girls, you can only do a story with one or the other!
That's the thing, if you get too far up your own ass in terms of detailing every small detail in the universe, then you end up spending way too much time world building than you should.
Aria gets away with it since it's basically tourism porn for Venice and most of the things they're coming up with already exist. But imagine trying to fill out a real city in that kind of detail over the course of an anime series or any thing other than a 1000 page novel. It's not advised, that's for sure.
Sweet. He can trade with Kazuki Kuroda and then Spice & Wolf 3 can happen, right? It has to happen eventually.
Please make it to the US. Pleeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaasssseeeeeee!!!!!!
I love that series soooooooo much.
Hnnnnngh.
I don't know maybe she picked up one of his mangas one day and realized she wasn't married to Akira Toriyama but a mangka that draws crappy harems with naked loli girls in them.
"This is not dragon ball"
Stop that! You're getting my hopes up!

Dog Days 1-2 Blu-ray
So the main character is really good at Ninja Warrior. This world he gets Saito'd into enacts war and territory disputes through a Ninja Warrior/Wipeout/American Gladiators system where no one gets hurt.
Dog girls are fine
but of course the best girl is a cat girl.

Noir really is great, isn't she?
He knows the pain, and has been through the hardship.
Why cant the us companies get these shows >_
The US market is a total fucking disaster.
Well NTR does seem to go over pretty well here.
the canine days blu-rays have English subtitles and lots of other languages too
If even Sentai won't license it it must be well and truly unmarketable.
