Mobile Suit Gundam. Watch the movies.
It was one person, myself, and I'm blissfully unaware of Kyoani's back catalog. What I expected to be shameless fujoshi material might end up a decent show about sports and friendship. Also, there's a chance we're going to get KEY'd. aw yeah
What part of the back catalog?
(Depending on your answer to this, I might have to get the pitchforks ready)
I've watched K-On! and the Happy Science short!
It's on the backlog! From what I've read in here, it's something I'd like to spend some time with rather that just firing it up and doing something else while it's on. Have to be in the right mood for that.
You should watch K-On!! and the movie too for good measure.
Also, you should stop watching anime as background noise.
More I should stop reading the anime thread while watching anime. Also probably watch better stuff so my attention doesn't wander as much.
Regulus Tera
Romanes Eunt Domus
I use the commercial breaks to check on the thread.
They go hand in hand! Watching good shows will make you less likely to want to do other shit while watching.
Watch Hyouka!
Gross.
That's one thing Precure was good for. Transformation? Time to check the thread!
That looks like that could be Happy Science itself.
What the hell is that?

It would sometimes take me hours to finish an episode of Hyouka due to having my mind wander on other things
The new Mickey Mouse cartoon.

So I thought I would watch a couple of scenes from Magical Shopping Arcade Amenobashi because my sister wanted me to recommend her a good comedy anime, and I can't believe how funny it still is. I haven't seen the show in a very long time, but those small clips reminded me of how funny i thought it was.
I might have to give it another watch someday when I'm done with my anime backlog.
This scene was pretty great too (the MC turns into this because of the suit, he doesn't look anything like that lol). It kinda reminds me of how bad the animation was for it but it's randomness makes it funny.

that's why i originally subbed and why it came up on my youtube homepage.
That scene is hilarious. The best episode though is the giant robot parody. Laughed so much I couldn't breathe. Then it went down to shit starting with the prehistoric episode.

Sailor Moon 39
Dat chest. Anyway, in another Lets throw Usagi under the bus arc, we find out that our the Jupiter is capable of skating gracefully a--- oh man, the Stringendo vibes are back with this one as we have glorious skating upskirt time.
Anyway, JEALOUSY OVER OUR JUPITER! Can't handle tall girls can she?
If I remember correctly, we had Venus, Jupiter, and Mars being mistakened as Sailor Moon, so I guess we're in need of a Mercury episode next. Can't wait till I get to the point where Ami gets progressively dirty minded.

I don't think Tuxedo Mask is really possessed with the way he acts. It's so unconvincing.

Do you believe if I say I just noticied what happened to her on her episode on Mo~tto, and it was pretty obvious
she stopped going to MAHOdou to have more time to train playing the piano.
It's better than Kiniro Mosaic. =p
===========================
Tamayura ~hitotose~ - 05
Chihiro(she's back!!) comes to Takehara to visit Fu-nyon, she ends up getting off a station too early and Fu-nyon's mother got to show some swag. Potte hears from her mother biker friends about how she once was a motorcyclist.
After Fu-nyon takes Chihiro to meet the others. Later, a wild Sayomi appears and takes everyone on a lengthy( put lengthy on it) expedition, where everyone becomes friends with Chihiro, what she deserves because she is so sweet.
Will she be back for more before the end?

After the prehistoric episode the show actually tried to explain everything and take things serious. It was quite surprising because the show usually doesn't take itself seriously, which not taking the plot serious was a good thing for this show.
The robot and Hong Kong episode sure was the best
Nipples the Echidna?
Attack on Titan 4
"Holy shit. That was incredible." I turn to my girlfriend. "Hey, watch this scene! Awesome, right?!" I explain what's going on. "And so now we see if humanity can actually turn things around!

You don't even know yet.

Then I realized it was really just harem anime.

1 The Worst Eroge Adaptation You Can Think Ofs
In response to the conversation on parents/other family members and their reactions to anime and anime related merchandise I don't think my parents mind it. I mean I've opened most of my recent parcels in front of them. As with any activity they'd only mind if it was taking up all of my time.
Though my mother was right cheeky and described my recent Alter Akari figurine as a "Japanese sex doll".

Well it is capable of becoming invisible...
Attack on Titan 8
I'm already traumatized and expecting the worst at every turn.
It seems, though, that a certain scene the show seems to love replaying (ugh, the swallow...) suddenly has a whole new meaning.
None of this is really what I was expecting. Yet I haven't had a marathon like this in a very long time.

This show is quickly becoming a lethal combination of :cajun and :sdburton. I love it.

So close..
Wait, no, that sounds like it has the potential to be enjoyable. Whatever potential Astral Ocean has is only for evil now. It's like oral surgery without anesthetics.
Close in ways no one ever thinks they want to be.

Boobs. Bikinis. Butts. Burgers.
The Four Bs. Real talk time: the "oh, there you are momma" scene was horrifying.

Well, I do think that whether visual novels are really "games" in the traditional sense is something of an open question... they are a kind of video game, I guess, but I wouldn't put them in the same category as normal games. Not when they often have such minimal amounts of interaction. If a game has almost no interaction (ie you spend most of the "game" just clicking through dialog without being able to make any choices or do anything at all), it's not really a game... and it's probably not going to hold my interest either.
And yeah, that's why the only visual novel I've ever actually gotten to an ending in is Love Hina Advance for the GBA.
So yeah, you make some fair points here, but it doesn't excuse, or even just make acceptable, most of the rest of the stuff you're talking about.
I'm sure you could say something similar about Koihime Musou, but that didn't stop the franchise from getting exponentially better when they made the animes and decided to get rid of the guy entirely there. It's the same here.
And anyway, your idea that somehow they just can't be main characters is ridiculous and makes no sense. Of course they could be, and it would work just fine. (Have you ever played the Touch Detective games? They are graphic adventures, of course, not visual novels, but they are comic Japanese detective games about a young girl detective and her all-female friends, involve some magical powers, etc...)
No, I think that if it's like a dating sim, it's a dating sim, even if technically the game doesn't end in romance. And what you're describing sure sounds like a dating sim. But if you must, "visual novel" then.

I haven't finished Astral Ocean yet, but I'm leaning toward that. Sword Art Online was a stupid, if enjoyable show for 14ish episodes. AO was that for like, 5? Suguha's shitting up SAO doesn't happen till the second half of SAO, but Truth's shitting up of AO starts much sooner.
Honestly, though, at this moment Pocket Full of Rainbows is worse than either, mostly because it is in SRWZ2 which means I constantly have to live with it.
Scale of awful at the moment: 00 is worse than PFoR is worse than Rah Xephon is worse than AO is worse than SAO is worse than AGE is worse than Stardust Memory is worse than Majestic Prince is worse than SEED Destiny.
Yeah they don't care either. They even think my One Piece figures look pretty good.
They're just a bit annoyed that I buy more mangas than books :lol

With regards to this jazz, my parents know I watch the animus, and my dad watches his fair share, too. My kid bro mocks me for being weeaboo and playing games in Japanese, but since he plays as many bad games as I do, its in good fun.
