I can't tell if you're serious or not cajun. I think that gif is cute.
嫁コレ Yome Collection, aka Wife Collecton aka Waifu Collection

That's such a freaking stupid name.
Chitanda is plenty cute. She's just not an interesting character.
Oh. I can buy that.
She develops enough for me to like her (and to find her interesting) as the show goes on. Not a marvel or anything, but in anime, it's rare enough for me to cherish.
Pretty much how I feel.
Sounds moe.
Definitely agree on that.
I guess we're pedos now. Fuck.
Nanoha, but if I remember correctly, they ditched transformation scenes pretty early in the series. It's just pretty iconic to me (and other songs use the same melody), so I remember it.
Edit: Oh yeah, there's Star Driver! Ginga Bishounen!
Jeremy Parish decrees it!
Someone protect duckroll!
*sigh*. I don't think that thread would've devolved the way it did had he not made that comment.
Wait what?
Well I just though of a good one. The one for Panty and Stocking <3
BUt iconic henshin music doesnt seem to happen enough. I can instantly remember the music from Sailor Moon or Precure but other shows seem like an afterthought. I was hoping somebody would post some that proves this wrong.

Why you again?
Besides running out of generals apparently to showcase, this wasn't a bad episode, I guess. Didn't really drag, the twist? wasn't too stupid. I would say average all around.

You and Hideko Anno.
Duckroll's a five year old girl, y'know? Stay away.
I heard this show sucks. Should I watch?
What's a neko mimi and who's mashadar?

Owch, where did that come from?

I'd heard about the mythical and dreaded cajunator and kayos combo. It's more terrific than I imagined.
Whoa, so that's where those gifs came from...
Trippy as fuck, proclick.
The idea that I'd be far more hyped for Psycho-Pass than this would've been laughable a month or two ago but now...
I guess I'll still check it out.
You really are adorable.
Ieyasu. Best girl. No competition.
No you shouldn't watch Sengoku Collection.
nekomimi are cat ears. One of my favorite things.

It's completely average at this point. Some good episodes, some boring episodes, some really good episodes, a few really bad episodes.
Considering almost all the episodes are stand alone, it can easily range in quality from episode to episode.
But, there are worst shows than this one.
Just wait. Come Fall OT. All hell will break loose.

That, at least, is true. Ponyo is, in turn, better than Howl's Moving Castle.
If Miyazaki had, I dunno, stopped making films after Princess Mononoke or Spirited Away (he always says he's about to retire) he would certainly be viewed more favourably now. The fact that he's gone into noticeable decline has certainly hurt his image, in my eyes at least.
it's better than glop art online
HEY! SAO is fun.
Miyazaki, like many directors, has a passion for what he does. He will want to keep creating things until he is too old and frail to continue. Its inevitable that his work will decline somewhat before he goes. Thats kind of expected. Many directors would kill to have his portfolio though.

People forget the Big O because of how Chiaki J. Konaka/weird it got.
"now"
I think the way Hosanna didn't even acknowledge my little bait attempt is pretty telling. 
It's okay bro, I'll always love you even if the feelings are one-sided.
Their posts shall blot out the sun.

Someone else watching and enjoying Jormungand makes me feel all warm and fuzzy insideJormungand 4
Seriously though, I'm enjoying this a lot. I wish the production values were a little bit better but hey, can't win them all.Both sniper sequences involving Orchestra were pretty great.
One of the best things about Hyouka is the character development as they progress from archetypes to individualized characters. There's a lot of potential for Chitanda in a second season if they continue her development like this.

Dakara Boku wa, H ga Dekinai end
Well that's about the ending I was expecting. Sucks the
Not really much else to say.
Overall, I thought the show was alright, but could have been so much more based on the promising intro. It seemed like all the right pieces were in place for a solid show; unrestrained perverted protagonist, crazy demons, not bad action. It seemed like it could be building toward something both epic and hilarious.
Unfortunately, it just became... dull. I think Ryosuke kind of fell victim to character derailment, toning down the perverted attitude and instead becoming somewhat depressing yet still being portrayed as optimistic. It's the kind of bipolar attributes that aren't easy to pull off. A good example of a harem protagonist that can do this is Tomoki from Sora no Otoshimono; seamlessly shifting from massive pervert to heartwarming optimistic shounen guy without losing anything in the process. Here, it just comes off as forced and on the whole, not very interesting.
And let's not mention the yellow. Oh god, the yellow. I'm generally not one to complain about art apparently as I see nothing wrong with whatever Angel Beats screens Branduil decides to post, but this really wasn't easy on the eyes whenever the barrier stuff showed up. Like, forget the fact it's ugly, it really did hurt my eyes at points. Staring at the same yellow for 20 minutes straight is not fun.
This really could have been a better High School DxD, but really fell on its face in the 2nd half despite some engaging scenes here and there. Ah well, guess that will stay the harem show of the year, at least until TLRD.

whole world is still stuck in perpetual yellow.

Why is that one guy just casually chilling on the roof of the car?
I don't know therefore White Fox.
Chitanda's development is too little too late IMO.
She's much better in the latest episodes, but she's still pretty bland.

Keep that kind of thing to yourself.
What? You've never casually chilled out on top of a vehicle in motion? YOLO man, YOLO.
I though I would be able to share these kind of life experiences comfortably in this thread but I guess not. I have no place left to go
