Yamato fans, this might be kind of hilarious to watch:

It's a Japanese dub of TNG, specifically the episode where they find the Yamato. The funny thing is that the guy who plays Sanada in 2199 plays Data here. lol

You know, the last episode of Attack on Titan was pretty great, but you can see how being rushed for time and trying to make up for it by just throwing more and more animators at each episode can do a number on the consistency of scenes:
These aren't from different parts of the episode, it's two consecutive shots. It's impressive how not a single aspect of the background plates are the same.

Watashi ga Motenai no wa Dou Kangaetemo Omaera ga Warui!/Watamote Episode 12
Right, well, I think I know what I need to say about this episode.
Series Analysis: This was truly one of the most vile, disgusting, rage inducing and down right mean spirited anime shows I have ever watched. How much more do I have to bang on about the flaws that I have banged on about since episode one? To briefly recap, we watched a show about an socially awkward little girl try to become popular in very superficial ways and then we are to laugh time and again at the exact same joke over and over again, with no introspection and no growth. There is no doubt that this would be on my AOTY list for the worst of 2013 and indeed worst of all time. Ah, that was cathartic, I think I am going to go watch more Legend of the Galactic Heroes or something now.

FUCK YOU WATAMOTE! FUCK YOU AND YOU PANDERING BULLSHIT, FUCK YOUR CONTRIVANCES, FUCK YOUR PITY PARTIES AND MOST OF ALL FUCK YOU FOR WASTING MY GOD DAMNED TIME! WE HOPE YOU LOVED THIS PRESENTATION OF NO MORALE THEATER! Right, now that is off my chest, waste of time certainly is a good way to define this episode and this series, I mean for fuck's sake we have the show itself saying what we just watched does not matter. Indeed we are right back to where we started, with Tomoko locked in her room playing her games, sad and lonely, as fucking usual. Turns out, it doesn't even have to be this way as one of the most popular girls in school has taking a shine to her, but that gets nixed for some contrived and pervy comedy.Also, her brother Tomoki is a huge waste of space who needed to have his neck snapped. Also, one of the fundamental flaws of this show is the superficiality of it all, we see Tomoko shy away in the middle of the room and then rush to change things. Nobody in this show gave or was in the position to give good advice, that change has to come slow and needs to be deeper then fleeting popularity and shallow love interest. Best thing I can say is thank god, thank the heavens that this show ends with this episode.

I find it hislarious the extremes this show goes through. From using the same 10 buildings for all their backgrounds and action scenes to, having 2 scenes in the same place usi entirely different looking backgrounds.

Huh? What did I say? Did I screw up again? :(

I ask this without a hint of snark: Why was this terrible show allowed to be made? Is watching fictional female characters being abused verbally and physically a new fetish genre I was unaware of? If so then at some point (whenever this sort of filth became a genre) anime hit an amazing new low. Sort of makes me sad. I'm so done with this series.

To be fair, the animation is so good in that episode that you only notice it if you're specifically looking at the backgrounds. The magic of editing is such that you can use completely different backgrounds and as long as it kind of generally looks the same you'll get away with it. Or you can go full SHAFT and stop pretending to care about background consistency altogether.
There seems to be a market for things like this and the dreadful Brothers Conflict.

Blame Twilight I guess if you want something to blame, even if it has nothing to do with it.
That Titan seems to be sporting a bit of a chest. I thought they all lacked features like that (judging from such creatures like Ti~tan). Clearly some sort of plot twist has happened while I stopped watching.
NO sale
Ive seen this exact picture somewhere before. Its a hillclimb Porsche of some kind. Its a hilarious setup though. Definitely a huge spoiler.
I thought it was a full official sub of the Hyouka series. Kinda wanted to see that.
QUOTE=FelixOrion;83401193]Majestic Prince 20
I agree with all of you 100%, and I'm gonna watch just for her though
I almost don't want to because we all know Charlotte will never win. Search your feelings. They're gonna take the easy route and Houki is gonna win or no one wins.
Best girls never win. you know the rule!
Fun fact: I fall asleep watching almost any anime
Dawwww. I like her design. Big hat lolis need more appearances in anime!
I advise strongly against intra-club romance
It's not called Diabolik Wife Beaters for nothing. The only reason the anime was made is because the otome game it's based on is fairly popular. I would like to imagine that the game only got popular because of the characters designs.
The titans decided to repent of their sexist ways after reading an article by kotaku.

They don't even like anime about themselves!
I guess I asked who Genshiken Nidaime was for and it turns out, it was for no one. So much for a second season!
yeah, should've been spotted flower instead
Welp, time to watch Watamote. thanks for the reminder!
Oh dont be like that. anime clubs can be a great experience. I met many new friends that way, including my current roommates.
I have enjoyed the new Genshiken a lot but I dont really know what demographic it is specifically targetting.
something's list.
As noted, Brothers Conflict plummets from 9,909 v1w1 to 4,706 v2w1 after losing the event ticket effect.
Chihayafuru S2 has a final BD+DVD average of 3,235 across its two box sets. A bit better than S1's average across nine volumes.
Overall totals for DBZ are up to a bit over 64,000.

I mean I speak solely as a person that hasn't seen the show since last season ended so I don't exactly know what the show is like. Though I'd argue they never actively focused on it and it was more of a product of them being lazy than anything else.

lol, calm down. If you read the Manga, you would find that there is better material ahead. I look forward to a next season. Lets hope there is less people who react the same way you do so they can make it.
Most people dont react with such intense hatred for it. A lot seem to really enjoy the show and see themselves in it. Its a self introspection.
I think I would rather stick bamboo under my fingernails at this point. I truly hate this series and wish to see it buried into the abyss of history.

Well look on the bright side! That means the anime industry is no longer moe!
GAF 10 years from now:
Whats with all these muscular men crap. I remember when anime used to be good with titles like K-On and Love Lab!
Ill keep reminding people that it exists.
I will always bring the hammer. Seriously, there was no payoff for this show.

I actually hope this happens so I can laugh.
That's false. Most slice of life shows have character growth since that's pretty much all they are about.
Yes, actually it did, this isn't K-On! with its eating of cake and drinking of tea, this a show that commanded emotional investment in order to illicit sympathy for it pathetic protagonist only then to ask us again to then laugh at the poor socially awkward clown with no advancement.
Is character growth considered a payoff? I thought he was talking about an ending.

Unfortunately, I think male insecurity is a lasting phenomenon.
Because the source material blows.
The whole muscle man thing has been a fixture of shonen shows for decades. Why would males be hung up on that? I think backlash to free was precisely because it was KyoAni doing it. No other reason.
I aint laughing at tomoko. shes adorable. I would hug her and be her friend.
Well, no you wouldn't because the writers would contrive some awkward bullshit to serve as a gag, creepy fanservice, and deus ex machina reason for her to go running right back to her hidey hole. Fuck this show.

Hardly, fujoshi have been big drivers in anime sales for a while. If there's a recent show aimed at fujoshi which has blown up in popularity and likely helped motivate the greenlighting of other series aimed at that audience, it would be Kuroko's Basketball.
That is interesting.

The backlash to Free! was about gay panic. I thought muscle men was referring to shows like DBZ. Maybe I was wrong.
Im talking about if she was a real person. Actually I have befriended people very much like her before. within the context of the show, Im sure they would probably snatch that away from her too I see your point about that, but Im talking about applying it to real life experiences. I think youre just focusing on the story of Tomoko as its presented rather than applying it to real life people and experiences, and how it related to actual behavior.
