I'm still a little bummed that "Mycroftko" never caught on.

Fresh is one of the seasons that I actually like though :p

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.

Huh. Didn't think you would catch that was referring to you, then not object to being called a juggalo.

For the pleasure of AnimeGAF, I have organised the shows of next season into tiers in order to indicate which I will be watching and which fall under other categories. This is a novel idea, I know.

Shows within tiers are listed in no particular order.

BACKLOG TIER (no I won't actually get through all of these in one season)
Futari wa Precure Splash Star ←watching now
Yes! Precure 5 (looking forward to seeing my first sentai-style Precure, even if it's not one of the popular series)
Yes! Precure 5 GoGo! (is this one supposed to be baaaaaad?)
Fresh Precure! (I know nothing about this)
Heartcatch Precure! (when I get this far, I will rejoice)
Suite Precure♪ (when I get this far, I will...buy lots of idol CDs? Or is Fresh the idol one? Idon'tevenknow)
Smile Precure! (when I get this far, I will build a shrine to Yayoi </probablylies>)
DokiDoki! Precure (the final stretch!)
Hidamari Sketch &#8592;not actually watching now because of Precure addiction
Hidamari Sketch x 365 (supposed to be better than the first season?)
Hidamari Sketch x Hoshimittsu (chronology? what?)
Hidamari Sketch x Honeycomb (MORE chronology?)
K-ON!! (Ritsu is best girl)
End of Evangelion (I will totally watch this at some point I swear)

CONTINUING FROM LAST SEASON TIER
Shingeki no Kyojin (hope the new OP doesn't disappoint)
Hunter x Hunter (best anime of EVERY SEASON)

---

OH HELLS YES TIER
Monogatari Second Season (my body is never ready)

WATCHING FOR SURE/HIGH HOPES TIER
Danganronpa (I loved the games, and hope the anime can come close to their level of style)
Gen'ei wo Kakeru Taiyou (I like Persona. I like Madoka. What could possibly go wrong?)
Symphogear G (I watched the first series and am thus obliged to continue)
Gatchaman Crowds (I know next to nothing about this franchise but I'll be damned if this doesn't look cool)
Kin'iro Mosaic (looks like the best of this season's moe anime)
Silver Spoon (because everybody thinks it's great or something. And it's Arakawa.)
Futari wa Milky Holmes (because I can't resist the Milky girls even when they're being mind-destroyingly stupid)

WILL PROBABLY CHECK OUT TIER
Blood Lad (looks kind of like Soul Eater)
Free! (because I give KyoAni the benefit of the doubt)
WataMote (for the luls)
Stella Jogakuin (guns aren't really my thing, but girls are, so we'll see how this one goes)
Kitakubu Katsudou Kiroku (bring the cute, and I will be there)
Love Lab (the least promising-looking moe anime of the season, but who knows? it could actually be the best)
Fantasista Doll (I'm such a glutton for mediocrity)
Inu to Hasami (why am I watching this? I hate dogs?)
Kamisama no Inai Nichiyoubi (uh this is a thing I guess?)
Kimi no Iru Machi (hey guys I watched Suzuka waaaaaaay back when I first got into anime and I totally liked it but I don't think I ever actually finished it and the moral of this story is I might watch this because I dunno.)
ServantxService (I have less than no idea what to expect from this)
Uchoten Kazoku (apparently people like that Tatami Galaxy thing but I never saw it. Maybe this will be good)

NOT REALLY INTERESTED BUT MIGHT THINK ABOUT IT IF EVERYBODY LOVES IT TIER
Gifuu Doudou!! (Doesn't look like my style at all, but it is from the Hokuto guy so I won't dismiss it completely)
Makai Ouji (looks like yaoibait, but also kind of stylish, so it might actually have merit of some kind?)

CAN'T WATCH BECAUSE OF REASONS TIER
Prism Illya (Looks delicious, but I'm not watching anything Fate-related until I finally get around to playing Stay Night)
Rozen Maiden (I never watched the original series or read the manga and I'll be damned if I'm going to jump in here)
Hyperdimension Neptunia (never played the games, have no intention of playing the games, anime doesn't feel standalone enough)
Genshiken Nidaime (never watched the original series)
Kara no Kyoukai (if I was going to get into this, I think I'd go for the original novels)
Kami Nomi zo Shiru Sekai Goddesses Arc (never read the manga or saw the earlier anime)

WOULDN'T WATCH EVEN IN THE ABSENCE OF REASONS TIER
Sen'yu S2 (not a fan of super-short anime, so I never watched the first series and will not be watching this either)
Recorder and Randsell Mi (see above)
Teekyu S2 (see above again)
Ro-Kyu-Bu! SS (I love lolis, but I was bored to death when I tried to watch the first episode of the first series of this. Dropped and never coming back)
High School DxD NEW (I know nothing about this series and nothing about it catches my eye and its a sequel so yeah not happening)
Tamayura More Aggressive (I think I tried to watch an episode of this once and it seemed like all :firehawk and nothing actually engaging in the slightest)

NO WAY IN THE SEVEN HELLS AM I GOING ANYWHERE NEAR THAT TIER
Brothers Conflict (I am not attracted to pretty guys)
Hakkenden S2 (still not attracted to pretty guys)
The Midnight Animals (I'm all for weird stuff, but this looks too out there even for me)
Kingdom 2 (lol CG)

I'm going to end up watching way too much this season and have no time for anything, aren't I? *despair*

Just want to acknowledge this post since....damn you put a lot of work and thought into this! I admire your enthusiasm :D

re automatic name to emoticon replacement

it's pretty easy

Code: 
// ==UserScript==
// @name      Animememu
// @version    1
// @description uguus ur animu for maximum uguu 
// @match      http://neogaf.com/*
// @match      http://www.neogaf.com/*
// @exclude		*editpost*
// ==/UserScript==

function uguu()
{
    var uguuEmoticon = {":uguu":"http://i.imgur.com/fsn5qUr.jpg",":lol":"http://i.imgur.com/r7KXDgh.gif",":kurita":"http://i.imgur.com/Rw4733D.png"};
	
	for(var uguuu in uguuEmoticon) 
    {
		document.body.innerHTML = document.body.innerHTML.replace(new RegExp(uguuu, "gi"),'<img src="'+uguuEmoticon[uguuu]+'">');
    }
}

uguu();

obviously replace the emoticons in the var uguuEmoticon line with proper urls for the images. Add that script to GreaseMonkey for Firefox or TamperMonkey for Chrome and you'll get in-line emoticons.

For example:
:uguu

I'm considering possibly Sailor Moon after I'm done with the Precure series, but with the pace I'm going, its going to be another 2 years or so until then. I started Heartcatch in September of 2012, finished in February of this year, Started Smile, finished earlier in the month, and are watching Suite now. So... yeah.

Welcome to my world >_
Its daunting getting into shows that run that long. Seems impossible sometimes.

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.

The only really tough season I think is Max Heart. Other than that, the other seasons really aren't hard to get through. Granted it may just be because I never saw it as a slog. More like a magical adventure up a magical mountain with magic.

Max Heart singlehandedly zapped my enthusiasm for Precure but Im trying to regain excitement for it. I might finish Max Heart just to prove to it that it cant keep me down.

"I know I'm not in Heaven. It's way too filthy in here." Well, we're off to a great start.

So while Eimer was in the pit, some guy charged at her yelling "SWEET YOUTH!", and she kicked his ass. Then some other guy charged at her yelling...I have no idea. The most I could gather was "Her body (unintelligible) spanky (unintelligible)", and then ass kicking. Can somebody clarify that for me? (It's times like this I wish I could make gifs).

"So you deceived me!" Just wow, Hector. Literally everybody knew this was going to happen but you. Like, how could you possibly be under any other impression at this point?

"Despise me. As that's the essence of love." Oh Vetti. I wouldn't expect anything less from you. Let's hope you can put a very special spit-shine on this turd.

Why is the sun shining directly into the pit?

AND CAN SOMEBODY PLEASE, PLEEEEEEEEEASE TELL ME WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED IN CLEO'S SWORD FIGHT WITH VETTI?!

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.

1.Mio
2.Ritsu
3.Yui
4.Mugi

This list is acceptable but Mio = Ritsu is more encouraged. Because Drum n Bass.

3 freaking hours later and I'm caught up. Damnit, I'm meant to playing Rune Factory 2 so I never have to see it again.

I do like the pessimistic opening post for the thread though. It suitably dampens all my enthusiasm for shows that are upcoming leaving nothing but bitterness. Except for Tamayura. That's as close as we'll ever get to more delicious Aria (until someone adapts Amanchu) even if it does star the utterly hateful Yuka Iguchi. Augh. People say Omigawa is bad? She has nothing on her.

firehawk12 said:
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.
Click to expand...
I had a slight obsession with Aria a few years back(Edit, oh fuck, that was 5 years ago); first with the anime and then reading through the manga. Kozue Amano's artwork is just so good.

Perhaps some of the reason I liked Afterschool Midnighters so much is that I'm not really one for watching movies in general - I lack the concentration unless I'm stuck inside a cinema. The last Pixar movie I saw was Toy Story 2 on release and that was almost 14 years ago.

Oh, ages were mentioned in the previous thread. I'm 27 which didn't feel all that old until some of you lot started posting your own ages...

Final note, sad to see Yuyushiki gone even though I'm only halfway through. I'm a sucker for aimless meandering programs like that but it looks like it's not doing great on sales (I think?) so that's probably the last we'll see of it.

Back to lurking...

Edit 2:
Damn missed a quote from previous:

So uh, I find that I really really like OPs that are played by bands from foreign countries (specifically english speaking?)

I really really liked Oasis' Falling Down in Eden of the East, and The Light Before We Land by the Delgados in Gunslinger Girl. What are some other examples? (to add to my backlog lol)

Also the only shows with no votes so far are Recorder and Randsell 2 and Rozen Maiden.

Thats usually the best way to go. Several shows start out promising and fizzle out. some shows get forgotten but some...well they surprise the hell out of everybody.
