Like I said I just judged it off by a chart. I know absolutely nothing about the show. Hence I could be wildly off base.

This is where I'd like to be able to say "but Chihayafuru isn't about the cards!", and then I remember the second half of the show.
I have faith that it's going to deliver.

This works on a variety of levels.
Preorder canceled.
As Luigi understands, the only winning move is not to play.

Seriously dude, just no. lol
Omigawa is a one note voice actress who is boring once her gimmick is exhausted.
Well, I'm cool with them and Dream Road (sorry zeroshiki lol).
One Piece Movie 1
Eh, it was ok. Very cartoony with its humor and it rushed into things. Despite my limited experience with the franchise, t felt like a story from some other property with One Piece laid over it.
I wondered why it reminded me of DBZ so I wasn't too surprised when I saw the character designers/animation directors worked on DBZ as well.
How did I not notice the "Senjyogahara" thing before? That shit drives me insane. It's almost as annoying as when people use macrons over Os instead of just typing "ou".
Good luck, man, the first three One Piece films are hella boring.

I thought 2 was pretty cool. 3 was awful though.
They're short though!

I think I'm the only one who thinks about this stuff, but because of UtaKoi, this passage in Pride and Prejudice stuck out to me.
Men really suck. lol
Utakoi 11
Space, Yuu Kobayashi and yuri. Everything you could want in a good yet incredibly depressing take on 11th century Japan's oppressive sexist society. At least the ending was kinda uplifting.

Why not take up the Kingdom challenge instead?
Can we make posting bigglobe polls a bannable offense yet?
The villains in two had ugly designs and really generic devil fruit powers, there was just nothing there for me.
I still felt sorely tested!
3 is probably the worst, although after you make it past the stupendous 4th movie the 5th is pretty bad too.

Poor Miyuki. Love how at the ending of this episode all the girls laugh, haha yeah, the 20+ minutes of awful crap Miyuki had to deal with it was totally hilarious! No wait, no it wasnt. Just look at that face! Did have plenty of laughs in this episode though, the scene where the pillow fight goes horribly wrong and
. That was really bad luck for a completely different party.
I really hope the show gets away from the typical battle scene at some point. The whole baddie of the week takes out all the girls except for one - and she somehow gets a powerup to win solo - is honestly getting pretty tiresome.
But still really love the show even if the battles themselves are really weak. Thats usually how it goes, just wondering though but which Precure season has the best battles? I remember someone mentioning one of the shows where the girl literally punches
but cant remember what that was from.

I missed the boat on that. Trying to catch up would kill me.
Wait, since when do voice actresses have gimmicks?

There is no shame to scrub through precure fights after a few. The fights tend to get a bit better later, but I still tend to scrub through transformation and finisher stuff, depending on my mood or if they go full retard and use the FULL transformation stock footage which lasts like a minute.

Men don't suck. Sucky people suck.
I dropped it for awhile, only to marathon 4 episodes of it in a day and yet I'm somehow still alive. I dare all of you to take on the greatest challenge known to man! No amount of gifs could prepare you for the truly insidious nature of Kingdom.

Smile is all about character-centric episodes so it often employs the tactic of the character receiving focus that week bailing out everyone else as the culmination of whatever personal development they've achieved that week. It begins to do this less as the series goes on, but you're probably not going to escape being underwhelmed by the fights most of the time.
Unfortunately, there's no season with universally good battles, but I'm personally a fan of the battles in Fresh! Precure. There are more instances of the characters having to use unconventional means to defeat opponents in that season than any other season I've watched to completion, and so I was almost never bored during fights like I was in, say, Suite and Smile where it's "wail on the monster with your fists and then use finisher at appropriate moment" most of the time.
Of course, Heartcatch has the best fights overall because the Precure have to reason with the tortured soul of the person inhabiting the monster of the week which is more inventive than straight-up violence, but I know how you feel about that, so....yeah.
Don't do this to me.

HeartCatch.
Anyway, since we're doing lists,
Hyped:
K
TLRD
Magi
Monster next door
Jojo
Gintama (though I won't watch it till I catch up)
Aikatsu
Kyousogiga
Will at least check out:
PsychoPass
A bunch of the random harem shows, in hopes that I might hit gold
Not hyped, won't watch unless trusted sources say it's good enough:
From the New World
Chunibyo
Tempest
Robotic Notes
An issuer of challengers such as myself has no room to turn down challenges issued by someone else, so I'm on board once I'm caught up with my weeklies.
I tried watching the first episode once. It was even worse than the gifs lead me to believe.
Did I miss http://fuse-anime.com/ getting announced, or is it actually new?

Yeah I know, but after 1, it was a massive step-up IMO. Of course, it also had the most underwhelming logia user in the series (which is fine because it isn't canon).

i'm hyped for TLRD
Anime is all the same, nothing really worth hyping about until I've seen at least the pilot.
I'm interested with that ricebowl show, a bit. Need some shounen in my life outside of HxH.
Is fairy tail still fillers?

Yep. Should be winding down soon and we'll probably be back to canon in a month or so.
Any context?

Looks really, really interesting but I saw GOSICK pop on screen and cried a bit. Hope that bit wasn't too relevant. Dunno what this is though.

Sakasama no Patema: Beginning of the Day 4
Finally got around to finishing this little prologue series off. I love how Yoshiura will suddenly cut off music for comedic effect; it's a little-used but quite effective technique. The world setting and the hints dropped to the backgrounds of the main characters are intriguing; I'm really interested to see how the full film elaborates on these.
You missed it; we've known about Fuse for awhile.

Since some people also missed the previous news about this, a brief explanation: Fuse: A Gun Girl's Detective Story is an upcoming film from director Masayuki Miyaji (Xam'd) at studio TMS Entertainment, adapting a novel by Kazuki Sakuraba, author of Gosick. It's based on the classic Japanese novel Hakkenden:
Ichiro Okouchi (Code Geass) is writing the script, and Michiru Oshima (Fullmetal Alchemist) is providing the music.
Thanks, sounds quite interesting, and I liked the look of the PV.
Hey, Crunchyroll finally made some of their numbers public again, announcing that they've passed the 100,000 paid subscribers mark. For reference, they had about 70,000 subscribers last November, and about 30,000 subscribers in the summer of 2010. Progress!

I hope those are good numbers. They deserve them.
Now how about making an actually respectable PS3 app thanks.
Have they ever mentioned views breakdown or anything similar to that before? I wonder how many of these people are there for Naruto/Bleach and how many actually bother with the other shows.

So it's probably a good idea to not get too attached to lovable characters then
