I despised both Yes seasons and Futari wa went downhill post-Porun so that's coloring my attitude here.
No way. :kg = eternally stuck in second place!

I feel like I have to remember you if only because of your Akari/Aria-sachou avatar. lol
The movie didn't crack me up, but I thought it was cute. With a bigger budget, you could probably dub it and release alongside one of those random Dreamworks cartoons and no one would really notice a difference.
Well, except for that HP plug. lol

I don't want to live in a world without this show.
You know, it's funny, this is the first time I really noticed the soundtrack... it's really nice and breezy. Otherwise, I'll miss Google: The Show.. It was so irreverent and random, but somehow reserved because it wasn't trying to pop off a new joke or set up every minute. The fact that the trio are fun together helps as well, of course.
I suppose there's more "girls sitting around" shows airing next season though, so we'll see if any of them will replace this one.

Sort of find it funny that I don't really despise Yes Seasons despite the fact that it broke my :SDBurton goggles and did horrible things to it. It sort of made up for it with relationships with fairies being weird in a childrens show.

This was pretty terrible. Some of the action sakuga wasn't bad but I want anyone involved with the editing and the writing to be sentenced to 200 cycles of space rehabilitation. There were so many things wrong with it it's hard to begin. From the disjointed time-skips back and forth to some flatout stupid moments.
It also seemed to drag for much of its duration and huge parts of the effort it put into world-building were largely detrimental to the whole movie's pacing than anything else. While I think the whole way they tried to establish crypton's civilisation didn't answer any real questions and raised a set of its own.

Why did they have to bring Lois on-board? Why did the old man have to die? Why is no-one on this film questioning anything that is happening?
That's OK. I forgot staplers. How could I forget staplers?

I was going to go to A-kon, but then...I remembered that it meant leaving the house, and that seemed like too much work.

I'll accept this challenge.
Fresh is one of the seasons that I actually like though
I know that I have some seriously misplaced guilt and I've been throwing things that I don't really hate under the bus because of it. I genuinely don't regret recommending something that other people enjoyed even if it's somewhat soured in my memory in the interim.

Hyped for Gatchaman Crowds and Silver Spoon. I'll probably check out Free. Not sure about anything else.
It's okay. You can just make fun of them all based on the premise and artwork.

Mushibugyou - Episode 2
Just started this up and it's actually pretty good so far. I kinda hate that some action scenes are blacked out (for example slashing the sword on something and just showing a black screen with a cut instead of them actually cutting the thing) but it's fine I guess. I really dislike how high and mighty they're holding Mugai and talking like they know him personally. They say he's kind and everything and want to be just like him but all that's shown is that he's strong... and that's it. Pretty hard to look up to someone with strength alone.
Will keep watching but I hope the action scenes get better. Also this show makes me want to know more about Mugai.

The sudden focus on Chibiusa has its upsides, too. I appreciate the insight she offers on such ADULT AND PROFOUND MATTERS like true love
. She's so cute.
Is it me or is Usagi somewhat precocious? And while we are on that issue, I am very disappointed that they brushed off the issue of the disparity between Usagi and Mamoru's ages with just some awkward silence. Lame.

they aren't even being subtle about this
This is some Precure levels of monster design atrocity.

Yui's little sister can't possibly be this polite and mature - 3
That opening scene before the OP was like something I would see in someone's abridged series.
Yes girls, her little sister is very polite and mature. I think the audience got it the first time.
Might as well rank the characters at this point.

3.Yui

The wording makes me think... this is the dub?

The joke about Ui is how amazing she is in every way, and the further and further the show goes, the more ridiculous her amazing achievements become.
I will accept these rankings.
He said so as much in an earlier post...

bad gameplay lol
EDIT: See next page
No Iwai means Spring beats it by default on that front, I think.
considering that
Mamoru is in high school and just about 3 years older than Usagi in the manga,

Please tell me my favorite anime is shit, Trojita-sama~
I tried to select those shows that I thought I would probably end up properly watching and not dropping...
...I ended up with 21 shows total. This season might kill me.
(Also, you have Gifuu Doudou on there twice... Once under the full title, once under the subtitle alone.)

Oops. I'll fix that. That's what I get for using two sources for the titles, heh.
EDIT: Oh, I can't fix it without making a new poll. Oh well. Just ignore the duplicate entry then.

I thought its actually supposed to be the style, as the black stuff when they do the sword slashing in the episodes is actually in motion.

This isn't as arousing as I thought it would be.
I hope not. That one goes with everything.
I would be all for new ones added to the list. As long as they have a clear definition of perosnality.

Aaaaaagh, goddamnit. Okay. I'm gonna have to make a new poll to fix this. It's because I was using both AniChart and TVTropes' lists, and one romanizes their titles while the other doesn't. Anyway, I'll post the new poll at the top of the next page, so if you've voted on it, you'll have to do it again.
