The general claim is that it's mostly Chibiusa and because Chibiusa sucks the series sucks. Whatever's wrong with Supers, it's not Chibiusa. She's such an unfairly hated girl.
Haha, yeah, I completely overdid it back there. Sorry.

We really don't get enough of these.
I'm fine with that for now given how the show keeps pushing heroes are this out of date concept. I mean, I hope it doesn't necessarily stay that way as I'd like some team action too but I'd like for it to be earned rather than just given to me.
She's sort of grating in R. Character growth exhibited through S & SuperS made her really likeable though.
At least you sold me on 14 volumes of manga so I'm feeding the merch machine~!
People in the Toonami thread claiming SAO has good action.This is why we can't have nice things.
How far in are they? The first boss fight was ok, but ifthey pass that, iunno.
Show hasn't started yet. These are from people who've seen most, if not all the episodes. They should know better.
Gintama Monkey Two-Parter
After the amazing Bath House episode, I was on a real gintama high. Some of the funniest stuff around. What do they follow that up with? This pile of crap. Worst Gintama there's been since the Yagyu arc. Just awful. They keep hammering the same, long, not-funny jokes over and over again. Actively unfunny. Ugh, why was this a two parter?
Chibiusa could be said to go through three phases: early Black Moon, late Black Moon, then post Black Moon. Many sour on her in early Black Moon then never give her the time of day after that.

Is it
Hana-chan
She sounds like Candy
Mo~tto Ojamajo Doremi Movie
The events of the film are mentioned on episode 46.
Visiting Grandpa and everyone being scared, why
Momo-chan didn't start panicking like on episode 29.
The Chibiusa hate in R is mostly justified, but after that you'd have to be totally blind to all of the characterization not to view her as a valid and integral part of the cast.
I shudder to imagine the kind of person for which she's Sailor Moon's Porun.
Also Majo Monroe.
Oh right, but it was pretty much an offhand reference and wasn't built on like the Sharp movie was.

How can you say the Yagyu arc was bad when it had one of the best episodes in the entire series (79)?

Chibiusa is like Porun? Guess I'm in for cockblocking!
The yagyu arc is terrible. One of the few actively bad parts of Gintama. Shitty characters, reliance on awful toilet humor, poor action and piss poor character motivation. Kyuubei doesn't become an interesting character worth caring about until she's developed well after the arc based around her.
Well yeah, that's why the blanket hate is unfair. Sailor Moon didn't stop at R. Then again, some people watch the show for the action scenes and complain about filler.

I disagree, but I don't remember the details strongly enough to press into a detailed argument.
If you dislike toilet humor though, I wonder how you'll take the increasingly prevalent and extravagant dirty humor as the series progresses.
I'm deep into the series right now. There's a big difference between the toilet humor as used in the Monkey episodes and the Yagyu episode and the dirty humor used in things like the episodes with the Shogun and the Aliens in the Bathhouse episode. Gintama is really smart with how it uses dirty humor to get the maximum effect. When it goes full on "oh look, it's poop!", it tends to wallow in it and just repeat the joke over and over in hope it gains humor by sheer repetition.
Gatchaman 6
There's something to be said about Galactor's lack of communication given the opposition this time had no idea who Gatchaman was. Mini robots looked like DC's Black Manta.
Weaker ep although that's to be expected with something long running, I suppose. No character examination that was present in the past few eps and nothing further to advance the Red Impulse subplot.

Well damn, was not expecting a rather explicit showing of a guy getting burned to death. Sucks for him.

Namedropping Porun is Godwin's Law for magical girl discussions.
What is this show about?
Does that make Mipple and Mepple Stalin and Mao?

The humor in the toilet episode of the Yagyu arc isn't based on repetition, or really on "toilet" humor per se, but on the mind games people are playing with each other.
I seem to remember the monkey two-parter focusing on his ridiculously long name more than anything. I don't think it's Gintama at its best, but I didn't hate it.
As far as dirty humor goes, I'd be really interested in seeing what you think of episode 231.

Some war just ended, but the country is still pretty shitty, so this section of the military acts as a division to carry out war relief. The main character is a dude that fights tanks and ends up joining the section. Even though the war is over, there are still some threats and a potential military conspiracy based around all the stuff they've hidden.
It's like Trigun + Fullmetal Alchemist.

Today is Sword Art Online dub day.
Working on something that'll take up time till the airing, wahaha.
I am excited. Like legitimately. Want to see how it all sounds in glorious English.

Nah, that'd be Coco and Nuts, and be thankful that you'll never know why.
You have no idea how much this description entices me.
Huh, that sounds pretty interesting. Thanks.

I wouldn't really call it as good as either, but it's been fun so far. I just wish they wouldn't keep pushing the overarching plot aside for self-contained stories. There's definitely something cool going on behind the scenes.

Close, but the girl is the main character, not the big guy. It's a good show with a strong female lead.
The toilet paper moment was great, for like 5 minutes. It went on like 30% longer than it needed to. The joke had no room to believe and died. There are worse moments in that arc that made me hate it so much, and there is some brilliance in that joke, but it was just ran into the wall so many times it killed it.
The other major jokes in the Monkey episodes were the monkey throwing shit at gintoki. That worked for like one scene and promptly got really old. There was also the joke about Kagura and Otoae coming up with the Video Game/Band characters, but that joke went on a hair bit too long as well.

Sailor Moon Rough 61
Being Usagi is still suffering. And I like how Usagi stating that Mamoru should just marry Chibiusa didn't faze him very much if at all. Jesus man. You're in college.
Really like Chibiusa's little stock footage. It's adorable.
And then we kickstart the Mamoru is a douchebag (again) arc. Oh boy oh boy oh boy. Keeping things from your wife I see. Clearly he's the biggest threat of R's quality and not Chibiusa.
The enemy has some lewd panties.Quite adult in comparison to Usagi's and Makino's.

I'll take all the episodes around Beinzakura or even better all the episodes leading up to, and quite a few following, the Four Devas arc. Those are some amazing runs.
I am dreading this so very much.

So I was just roaming around on GAF and I saw a thread and someone mentioned a site called TVtropes. I looked into the site and they show almost every genre known to man on there, for anime as well. While searching I found one topic that I think will keep me busy for a while.

There are plenty of tyrants in this world, but not all interacted with Hitler. At any rate, it's curious that mascot rhymes with despot.

I've never understood being caught in TV tropes. Whenever I look at one page I usually end up unsatisfied with it and leave.

TVTropes is a great tool for finding synopsises of interesting-sounding series and looking at a series you've just finished with new eyes. it's far too spoiler laden for anything else though. Also it's a fucking time vortex of doom

Ever spent hours on Wikipedia?
I'm to that point finally. Used to be I'd click a page, see other tropes I'd like to read about, open in new tab, and backlog myself to death.
Nowadays it's to take a quick glance at something to see what I might have missed.
Body pillow of Valmet from Jormungand. Copious amounts of abs contained within.
Deviantart and Pixiv are my TV Tropes.
"Let's see what this guy has on his recommendations page"
*fast forward three hours*
"Hurrr durrrr best Penguindrum Fanart everrrrrrrrrrrr. Let's see what this guy has on his recommendations page."
I just don't do it to myself anymore.
You're walking down the path of hardship and suffering, but also possible rewards.
