Wat.
I'm not a fan of boring, nerdy, goody-two-shoes, seemingly perfect characters and Ami is kind of like the epitome of that archetype. Plus her shabon spray is stupid and useless.

I imagine many little Omigawas emulate the sound effects of water waves.

Ikuhara already did it for everyone.
Ami keeps a lot to herself, but the moments when things slip out are the best. There's more to her than you give her credit for.
I hope those dualshocks are connected to a PC running linux because otherwise that ain't FREE!
The fact that we haven't jack from Space Dandy makes me think it's not coming out this year and probably Winter of next.

Not sure about the dualshocks but I know what is connected to something or somebody.
At least if the next Comiket delivers the doujinshi.

Ami becomes a rounder character in S and SuperS. She's pretty boring in the first two seasons otherwise.
Ami has screen time in SuperS?

Something something bias
Elena Peoples was the most transparently otaku pander character in any BONES show ever. There are way worse problems with E7AO, but the high incidence of kawaii adolescent girls and harem undertones with Ao being the only male pilot certainly detracted from the experience.

Sounds like a Comiket worth waiting for.

Her power-up episode is the sexiest!

I mean it's obvious BONES is struggling trying to find a balance between Otaku pandering and meaningful content, but at the same time they are suffering from much much more substantial issues with regards to their recent efforts.
Also 7th would like a word about making female pilots into a bad thing.
Ami reads all the dirty books, and is secretly bi.
No disagreements there, it was just an easy opportunity to shit on my least-favorite character in my least-favorite BONES show, hahah.
Does 7Th actually like any of the E7AO waifus? Because shame on him if so.
#Truthfact? If so, interest rising.
Well, the former may not be that true but she is one to think about such things, and the latter is shown in a scene in the audio dramas.

More female pilots is better than less female pilots; that's all I say. Ao should have been a girl, too; he already looks like mid-series Eureka, anyway.
Was that the one I gave a listen to a few months ago? Loved every second of it.
Yup!
Fleur is mai waifu.
What kind of show is SM? (Episodic, Arc-based, etc)
Episodic with loose plot arcs.

Well now I have to ship them
My eyes sure like to look at that speedo
The only good female character in AO is the milf that titty-smothers Ao on the space station. I don't remember any more about her because I quit watching right after that.
That's even worse.
I know who you're talking about. I think her name was Hannah?
I should check to see if she got any doujin material.

I think this is where I go:
"Eureka Seven retroactively ruined" or something like that.
thanks.
Enhanced.
That's how I wanna go. Pretty much the best way ever.
But that means less AWESOMEBEAR in this thread
That's Mama Hannah to you.
I'm all about the Elena.

work keeps me away from postin' more. that plus dad shutting off the internet at the home at midnight because shit is crazy.
I do think it's time for a new avatar though. Maybe a hajime, or a UK loli.

It's a giant wall of white text on Dark GAF at like, 3 AM. Painful to look at.
Those back muscles, though . . .
The entire show is based around this gif:
The show goes to ridiculous lengths to build up certain plot points only to make the end result amazingly anti-climatic. The whole Elena and Truth subplot don't amount to jackshit and were a waste of both the story's time and the audience's.
It really is. I think Elena and Truth stand out the most, though, because they were given such significance and build up. Especially with all the implying that Elena might be Ao's sister and stuff. And then the ending rolls along and it can't even explain the actual plot of the show in a coherent way, let alone the subplots.
That dance fight Shinji and Asuka do against the Twin Angel was a lot of fun.
There's also the way the ending reveals feel incredibly forced and not at all planned ahead of time. The most egregious of these being that
Eureka is time traveling to keep Ao alive because the Coralian apparently didn't account for the effects of Trapar on their own cross-species babies.
even if the Earth beneath the Coral was trapar filled, there was still the Sage's space station which should've been a trapar free zone.
the coral infected soldiers getting turned to coral
it never effects him, making the whole thing sort of bullshit.
That's a really good break down of it. So many of the show's plot points are just darts on a board that don't line up. Characters getting retconned partway through serve no greater purpose than to make everyone shrug and go "oh whatevs". And then
when Maggie Kwan momentarily regains her memories only for them to just up and fade again, and for her to figure out Elena's entire backstory using basically the internet.
The vain hope that things will improve is what keeps me going with that IP.
I would say that the most offensive thing AO does is
murder Eureka and Renton's characters, making them selfish, and their quest to protect the Scub hypocritical and wrong when they turn around to kill the Scub themselves.
Not only does he just stop shape shifting part way through, the other Secrets never do this, nor exhibit half the power he seems to have.
the unnecessary drama of Truth not knowing he was a Secret. I mean, dude, your color motif is identical to theirs.
For me it was definitely the second over the first. I mean the first was super stupid already, but that second part was just so skull smashingly awful.
What bothered me most about that was that
he escaped any punishment for what he'd done.
Well okay, but I was more talkin' about the funny fan nicknames I found on it.
I don't know. I mean, Suguha and Kirito were already cousins, so how would they alter that relationship to make it even remotely okay? They'd have to drop the blatant aspects of it and just completely drop her meltdown. Tentacle rape would have to go, and Sugou's slurping of Asuna's tears wouldn't be sticking around, either, methinks.
Maybe they'd dub in a motivation for the main bad guy, though.
Oh yeah, I definitely did not like that aspect of her character. At first it was okay, but then it got to the point where I felt Elena's constant references to anime and manga was the anime equivalent of "US GAMERS, HUH?"
Fleur becomes decent waifu material by the show's end, I'll give you that.

Ever watched a female drum major conduct a band with an exposed back from behind? Same thing.
I blame 7th for this.

We should all watch Sono Hanabira on Free! air days for maximum DTL trolling.
VHS WILL NEVER DIE.
Although Im kinda scared to play old VHS tapes cause machines, particularly old ones, love to eat tapes.
Black Lagoon, Fruits Basket, Yumeria, and Hanasaku Iroha? I like your tastes!
Minako has always been my favorite but Id put Makoto next then Rei or Ami. Hard to pick. Ive only seen season 1 though really.
Have you seen Villgust yet? It has a genki catgirl in it called Ryuqir. shes really adorable.

Kurita wins again.
I haven't, actually. Our drum majors always had capes.
Maybe now you know why!
For me, making a schedule is well nigh impossible.
I just wait for my off time and then try to cram a few episodes after the second or third day off. Sometimes I marathon stuff with my friend until I start falling asleep and have to leave.
Yeah I wouldn't mind going like that!
