It had some nice hooks, to bad the author chose to focus on the shitty loli instead of focusing on the more interesting things in the setting. I ended up dropping it.
Yup. Before Uchoten I think their best show was probably Hanasaku, which was original, so both their best and worst shows were originals. I don't really think there's a pattern or anything.
Its because of the OP
So nice to be in my own bed again and get some regular sleep. I've been running off of fumes for the last three days or so. Anyway this was my big success from Otakon even though it ruined my sleep schedule for the weekend (I had to wake up between 4 and 6 the entire weekend).
Nice pick-up there!
It really is. It will never leave!

Thanks for the PV vids. Artwise none of it is grabbing me particularly.

Nagi no Asukara looks amazing. Good character cast, though kind of reminds me more of From the New World (1st arc)...maybe its the outfits.
Donten ni Warau may check out, though I usually avoid some of the things its tagged as.

Is Angel Beats worse than Canaan? Is this even worth discussing?
No.

The pattern is "How good is the director?"
Thats...actually not a bad way to describe it lol.

Just hope Mari Okada don't write some crazy again

Is that Spike?
iirc, it's one of these shows like Karneval or Makai Ouji. Meaning it will probably be :dtl but also not very good.
It will probably sell better...
I feel that's really only consistent if a director is already good, or a director is so bad there's no room for improvement though. Tari Tari and Uchoten are both shows which I don't think people expected to be as good as they were because the previous works of those directors at PA Works were underwhelming.
Edit: Shit I totally forgot about Canaan. That throws the theory completely out of the window even if the director is good! >_<
It's okay, SSY will always have the moral victory.
Angel Beats are worse than anything.
It's an otaku show - manga in Dengeki Daioh and all, moeblob designs - but there's a lot of focus on the (presumably) shota-looking male lead here.
I've had a quick flick through the first chapter of the manga; I'm not quite sure what to make of it. Interesting premise, but not necessarily a particularly interesting story to go along with it.
DTL, it's definitely not a BL show; the guys in that shot appear to be in a love triangle over the female lead.

This looks like eroge adaptation tbh.

It does feel like they could have condensed the three Starlights into Seiya's character, though. Taiki and whatshisface are superfluous.
This is suddenly going into places that I enjoy. Oh yeah just look at that NTR.

Usagi was the last person I was expecting any kind of innuendo from. High school girls are shameless.
Yep.

The OP is pretty good.

There are a few major differences between the series 1 - 6 and Rebuild 1.0 beyond the extension of the Ramiel fight although discussing them would almost seem spoilery.
I don't think many people would argue that the Ramiel fight was more exciting in the series than the movie although to what end that matters is questionable.

By Eternal Family do you mean The Eccentric Family? Because the only shows that are actually worth your time are The Flowers of Evil and The Eccentric Family. Everything else is forgettable.
Half of Uchouten Kazoku 6
I've had just about enough of endless conversations concerning tanuki stew and eating in general. The tinges of borderline vore fetishism this show's had going for a while now are really starting to rub me the wrong way, tbh. I'm really hoping it moves away from that as I was really enjoying this show before.

It's Eccentric Family (Uchouten Kazoku), just so you don't get confused.
You've seen Wolf Children, right? Otherwise, I'd suggest Garden of Words, Jinsei Best Ten, and Death Billiards. You might also take a look at Rozen Maiden.

Oh yes, and from the Otona Joshi no Anime Time series of one off OVA stories I'd recommend Jinsei Best 10 . Death Billiards is worth a watch as well.
Oh yeah, I forgot all about Wolf Childen, that's obviously great too.
Hmm, it's interesting how many shows I've watched that I wouldn't actively recommend.

Oh, did you go to the Kanno signing on Friday? I think I saw you walking around carrying a huge-ass folder/board thingy, and I was wondering what the heck was in there. That's nice!

Perhaps they just asked him to go totally crazy?
Yeah 4-6 had some bigger differences,
Lilith wasn't there seems to be the big one
And yeah I just meant the Remiel fight was more exciting and suspenseful in Rebuild. Otherwise the general pacing of 1-6 seems better than Rebuild, which is unsurprising.
Jex

Yeah, that's basically the most important difference and as the series progresses you'll see that it's fairly important difference in terms of motivation and characterisation.
Hey now, why are you trying to muscle into what was one of Manga UK's great dubbing achievements and claim it for your own?
Little Witch Academia might not be your thing, but it's obviously good as well.

I'm not Usian so I wouldn't be claiming it for my own!
If anything it being Manga UK is even sweeter.
Why don't people make anime for MY birthday?!

Apart from My eccentric Family, Gatchaman Crowds is being good for now, though maybe not in "must watch" levels (it's always relative).
Flowers of Evil is really overrated, as the plot is crap, because the characters don't hold up, they are really really out of what we could call believable people. It's gimmicky in a peculiar way.
Shingeki no Kyojin is also very good, even with some warts. Original setting, good production values, mystery, action, thrilling scenes.
Also Wolf Children and Garden of Words, as some people has said. Death Billiards is pretty decent, watch it because well, it's short.
