I feel the urge to defend Omigawa, but then I realize that I used to hate her too, and if I defend her, it would mean Branduil wins yet again. I can't accept this... :(

I lurve Elena.
I guess I feel the same way about Asuna as you do about Elena.
*shrug

No. I'm pretty sure you don't hate Asuna. You just dislike her. I hate Elena's entire character because she contributes literally nothing to the show other than some stupid mediocre comedy or bring up questions that really don't need to be asked. It's fucking stupid. I can understand why people dislike Asuna. That I'm fine with. Elena on the other hand. My gosh...

You know, I had my doubts but I think we're going to get along.
 
Oh right, Girls und Panzer is also a show I'm gonna watch this fall. I'll probably end up watching the show about the painter girl too.

Didn't he call her "used goods" earlier?

That doesn't mean hate. There's a difference between dislike and hate. I'm pretty sure cajunator is not capable of hating anything really. Unless I'm wrong then I'm sorry cajun. There's a difference between strong dislike and hate as well.

??? How so? Did I miss something?

Elena hasn't been that bad since the buttplug tail.

I'm pretty sure he hates Fridays, Texas, and the Carolina Panthers too!

This show has sort of been a drag lately. Mostly in that I rarely feel like it delivers on what I want, and the characters it focuses on tend to be the ones I would rather shy away from. But this episode was like a return to form, in that it outpaced my expectations and kept me entertained while returning to its meta roots. It was even kind of sad and emotional too for just a little bit.

AT-X??!?!?!?!? :(.... ;______; Tokyo MX only. This world... THIS WORLD IS NOT RIGHT. I will watch with the promise of smiling and hype inducement.

I am with you on this.
*ehem*

Glorious Miyako returns, Mr. Kuma!
I respectfully respect your taste, good sir, as all the Hidamaris are great.

*ehem*
I'm not very familiar with JoJo's, but I'm going to give this a go as well.
(Can I, cosmic? Can I?)
The concept itself seems fun enough, and it's clear the franchise itself has lots of fans. I'm interested.
 
Not really. I didn't say that one was better than the other because it was older or more influential. I just that one was qualitatively better, which it is.

Hehehehe... I disagree! Come at me bro!


Please don't come at me bro... I like Goldenboy more because I have fonder memories of it :D

Eh, Elena now actually serves some story-purpose in Eureka Seven: Ao so I can't really agree with on that.

Other than that one episode about identity her role hasn't changed at all. She's still that girl that came from the other world, an otaku, a pilot. That's it. Nothing has changed at all.

The biggest problem is most of the fanbase comes from the later parts, the most being from part 3. Part 1 is really nothing remarkable and acts like a prologue more than anything else. It's kind of still living in Fist of the North Star's shadow at that point.

That isn't to say part 1 is bad, but it's a pretty dull start to what becomes one of the best shounen series out there.

I was hoping they would actually answer the question.

I guess it's the latest and greatest fad. I wonder if any of them realise the success of My Little Sister Can't be This Cute isn't solely down to the presence of a little sister in the storyline.

It isn't?

It's little sister + living the otaku lifestyle.

True, it doesn't limit its pandering to incest... it also panders to otaku's incessant need for navel-gazing.

Elena Peoples is like a virus
It sneaks into your anime and makes it unwell, completely destroying any suspension of disbelief and pandering to mindless otaku.

some people enjoy sickness


actually it reminds me of the latter Family Guy episodes, in which they randomly reference shit that you may or may not know about.

Now, Naru on the other hand...Naru has less screentime than her own pet. For real.

Naru is a horrible character for reasons other than her screentime. She is far and away the worst character on the show.

Elena's stupidity is momentary while Naru's just continues and drags the whole show down.

It's set in 2202. Moe culture has run rampant, and kanji are no longer in regular usage. Light novels have become the height of literary sophistication. That's why it's so amazing that a 16 year old girl can read kanji in said story.

Apparently there's some kind of time slip but I couldn't be bothered reading the summary any further than that. I guess it's probably hilariously ironic in Japanese.

So it's set in a dystopian future, right?

Truth takes that title with ease
Naru and Truth might as well be one entity of stupid

Truth is really high on the stupidity list as well but atleast they're trying with his character. Naru just floats around and comments at random times while seemingly doing jackshit.

Jesus Christ the writing in AO is bad. It wasn't bad enough to have one stupid god-like character, they needed two.

Great news about Bakemonogatari, easiest $150 I'll ever spend. Lots of respect to Aniplex, I never thought it would happen. That holy grail of anime translation.
