JC Staff better get rid of these impure sluts and apologise or they can kiss their fanbase goodbye.

I really enjoyed Hajime no Ippo but I imagine watching it on a weekly basis must be the most boring shit ever. Even for a shounen series it takes forever for things to get going.
If by forever you mean one episode, sure. Hajime no Ippo is one of the best paced shounen anime there is, and doesn't even need special consideration on account of genre. Things move at a steady clip, and out of fight, pre-fight, in-fight, and post-fight all get their proper due and little more.

I can imagine that for the manga... but the show is decently enough paced. Most fights last at most 2-3 episodes?
Doesn't hurt that fights are well animated.
Been watching g gundam again... am i crazy to think the ending of the domo vs master asia fight in the finals to be the most emotional gundam moment ever?
Nah, it's fair game because Yuru Yuri spends two whole cours to go fucking nowhere.
I don't know how much the rest of you know about tiny hats (I'm an expert)...
Since when was YuruYuri supposed to "go" anywhere? If the antics are cute and entertaining, that's what counts. And they most certainly are.

When shows like One Piece exist, you can't say this with a straight face.
Just remember that the vast majority of people dont know what the hell they are doing. Work or otherwise. Just do your best.
Komugi rocks the shades so well!
Where is it supposed to go?
Why is this so true >.>
Actual yuri. Oh hell, simply breaking the status quo a little would have been an accomplishment. The time travel ep demonstrates everything that is wrong with that show.

Sweet yuri sex.
Well it gets there on the very next panel his avatar is from!
Did anyone ever expect the show to actually go there?
This is what doujins are for, guys.
I wish there were more good YuruYuri doujins though.

Some people never learn!
There are some! Not that many though. Admittedly a lot of good ones aren't readily available either.
It is not really a relationship focused show. Would it be nice if there was more yuri? Sure. Mostly just because that would be more interesting than the handful of really dry or dull sketches in ♪♪.
All I'm asking for is love.

You're complaining that a comedy doesn't have real relationship development or plot movement? YuruYuri isn't the type of show that demands either. The only thing wrong with the show is that the 2nd season wasn't really that funny.

Whatever. Ippo manga spoilers:
It's the slowest shit ever.
Ippo makes zero progress towards an actual match with Miyata,
Ippo makes zero progress towards the world title.
Ippo makes zero progress towards actually kissing Kumi.

The anime isn't going to break away from that shit. The only thing that -can- possibly change is the
romance stuff. At this point I just want Itagaki to say fuck it and NTR Kumi away (honestly it even barely counts) because Ippo and Kumi are going nowhere. Ever. He's a pathetic human being.
I find the double standards in animegaf ridiculous when you have ton of slice of life & romance anime that have rarely anything of any significance happen to move the plot forward except for the first episode and the last few episode to rap it up and spends a lot of it's time showing sky shots,telephone pole shots & cicada on a tree, yet those same people who praise it complain about plot driven shounen shows.
Funny comeing from a aku no hana fan which only covers 1/3rd of an uneventful chapter for it's first episode but spends that time showing telephone pole shot and recycled shots of background people walking a few times.

list some examples.
I haven't seen Hajime no Ippo, but in general I'd think it's fair game to complain about the lack of plot movement if you're watching a plot-driven show, whereas a slice-of-life is never about that in the first place.

Maybe it's because it doesn't matter unless it's a plot-driven show. I know it's just a thought.
And there are plenty of idiots that complain about nothing happening in K-ON! etc.
Fairy Tail x Rave PV
I think it looks fun to have it animated and extended. Makes me miss Fairy Tail some.
I had no idea this was something, I loved Rave Master when I was younger.
In english please.
Well, the more they add on to what they have the less superior it gets, granted. However, the original run is pretty much pristine.
Well, a show can work on an arc level or an episodic level, and even then it can be simply character development, antics, or event narrative. Different shows can succeed in different ways, but let's say when a show tries to be slice-of-life but fails to be cute, funny, or interesting, then yes it's worth criticizing on those grounds.
That's my core issue with Yuru Yuri. It's not even that funny(same gags over and over ftl), and it doesn't pick up the slack in other areas.

There is no double standard here.
Slice of life shows aren't building towards an event the same way shounen series do. Ippo makes clear from nearly the start what the show is building towards
Either Ippo's match with Miyata or the Championship and 900+ chapters in there is little progress towards either. They can't even have him KISS his girlfriend 900 chapters in.
Aku no Hana covered essentially the first half of the manga in a season. Totally reasonable.

Maybe we, as those outside Japan, won't be seeing Mr. Miyazaki's The Wind Rises for a long time, but there's the possibility of importing the habitual Ghibli THE ART Series & Studio Ghibli Storyboard Collection (Vol. 19, this later one) books to make up (partly) for that:

Cages in visual media almost always have their bars spaced apart more widely than they really should be so that they don't obstruct the view of the character(s) inside.

That's not what he said though. I don't hate the skits on Yuru Yuri but I can understand criticism on these grounds. Cwarrior was talking about plot-driven shows though which is not what the show is about at all.
To me, I usually watch slice of life shows not for their plot but for the experience. Its not about trying to draw me in to pull of some plot twist, its to keep me entertained and happy. To me, that is what slice of life's purpose is.

I'd probably watch Rave Master if the anime had an original ending. Fairy Tail is at least continuing the anime. But Rave Master's anime only gets like, I don't know a third of the story from what I've heard.
But still though, that won't stop me from watching this since it looks friggin' awesome to see a crossover like this.
But Toriyama is awful and can't write for shit?

Gotta have that protein or you'll die!
I rationalized it with Usagi being stupid and/or having tears in her eyes as an act of a perception filter.
Oh god I'm dying!
I've been making commentary about the state of Precure doujins every night. There's no end, they're just Wolfrunning with it!
This is why I gave up caring about getting more Ippo anime beyond New Challenger (that and it apparently got stupid because Ippo wasn't really growing and whatnot.)
