Out of curiosity , how many episodes did you watch ?

All of it. Though I started scrubbing a bit towards the end.
Fate/Kaleid: episodes 1-3
Jeez this show is just pure fanservice shit...
Ro Kyu Bu SS: episodes 1-3
I probably should have watched the first season before getting into this. I hope that there's less basketball and more loli as the show progesses. They're all way too cute! Especially the twins and Saki.

I never tire of posting this GIF.
Though I seriously need to improve it.

Man, this show is legit.
We get some more lore and some character/relationship backstory. Definitely another character driven story but done really well with the fantasy element. They blend together so seamlessly. I really enjoy Yasaburo's relationships with the various characters in the series. I do hope we get some insight into his other brothers (we've got some with Frog-kun at the start of the show, which I thought was great).
Benten is seriously the hottest character this season. Just the right amount of intrigue, allure and overall danger. That final scene was amazing as well. She really is one of the main reasons I'm sticking with this show.

Remember the third shoujo manga anime adaptation from the Fall 2012 season besides Kamisama Kiss and Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun, Say "I Love You" (Sukitte Ii na yo)? The one that bombed sales-wise so hard we never saw any numbers for it, at all?
Well, it's getting a second adaptation chance with a live-action film next year. Power of :kurita at work, or something.

Eureka Seven 36
That bonding with Renton and Holland cracked me up.
Poor Eureka cracking under the pressures of society though. Kinda sad.
Soon. Maybe.
Based Axel Thurston. Man Holland used to be a pedo.
Beauty Culture
Probably still is with the whole Eureka thing.
Poor Eureka cracking under the pressures of society though. Kinda sad.
Renton was so close too at the end of the episode and he finally said it!
Why must the worst shoujo of the three get another adaptation? I want a sequel to Kamisama Kiss damn it.
And what is the real meaning of measuring something unempirically? Any kind of numerical rating seems bogus to me from the get go (I'd go as far as saying that EVERY kind of ranking is) so, why bother with this matter? There's no scale that reflects what I feel or the punctual state of mind in which I was when I saw any given work. How can I faithfully count, order and put a grading to each of the sentiments a piece of entertainment brought to me at a very specific moment of my life? Anyway, the importance given only to figures on a scale can also become the lazy way for those not wanting to see the complete worthy impressions behind those numbers.
DOGA KOBO, INC.
Whaaaaat?

And C84 is around the corner, guys... which makes me think if the end of their Kickstarter practically coinciding with that event hasn't thrown off balance the budget of many people. Maybe it wasn't opportunely timed.
Same here! As well as Saint Seiya or Dash Kappei (Chicho Terremoto around these parts). The most surprising thing nowadays could be, and I may have mentioned this before, that Kimagure Orange Road (here it was named Johnny y sus amigos) had such a following at the time on this country it even reached a 20% of TV audience share for the Sunday's afternoon in Spain. Of course all the families watched it together, mine included!
All very true, but I'm only pushing back against where it truly gets silly.

Those character designs look like butt, the bad kind! Hopefully it'll be better than the first TV series though.
We are both not very wise people for watching this. At least there's Suou.

Wait that's what :wonzo means ?
Dammit i should have said that there was a lot of :wonzo in the last dokidoki episode aside from the stock footage.

:wonzo stands for QUALITY.
It's what happens when you spend 3 months on episode 26 of a 50 episode series.
Well, I can understand that compromise after all. Somehow I had the sudden urge to say all that, so sorry if it sounded too one-sided. It is only one of many opinions after all!

Oh, Sekai came back.
WHAT IN THE NAME OF EVERLASTING CHICKEN MCFUCKNUGGETS DID I JUST WATCH?!?
So Katsura hooked up with Makoto once again. Lord knows how long that's gonna last before his next waifu knocks on his door. Sekai is royally pissed off, as I'd expect.
Damn, you two. You guys are just rubbing salt in her wounds now.

First season is good
Second season is legendary
Third season is very good ...
Ignore the rest ... or watch the early oav for mild fun.
Well, of the three of them Kamisama Kiss is the least likely to get a live action adaptation, what with all the supernatural elements and all.
Someone with their fingers on the sales figures can probably say for certain but I think it sold the best out of all of them.

Issei goal may be short sighted , but it's a clear goal i can relate too , especially after becoming a devil !
Lol @ Xenovia looking down on Kiba , if you know the books you know
that this is the only time this happen because xenovia was a strenght baka swordwoman, this is somehow weird to see now that she is only starting to mix up sword styles
Regardless that was a cool episode. It reminded me also how irina barely changed, even after learning "the truth"
But the moment us fan were waiting for ...
Oh yeah
The first lines of VALI !!!!
I think the introductions are done , now ..next weeks should be packed with cool things to see
*grin*
Hey now, the DtB OVAs were good.

I can't wait forever for Danganropa if I don't even have a date
I'll probably buy the game on Vita anyways and not play it, so if your only worry is helping Vita sales, don't worry about that. I'm more interested if HD graphics, english VA, touch screen, convenience of it being on a recent system, and any extras would make it worth it to wait.

Almost at the final arc now.
Look at all those misunderstandings.
So they finally decide to do something about Dewey's Coup, a bit late though.
Best part is by far the tea cart. They can't even draw the wheels right.

And an excellent arc continues ..
Oh i'm hyped by the things that are coming
But first :
Ahem sorry bad joke.
This episode was trully packed with some great promise as the princess group is going forward in a situation that will lead them in more danger , all while the dangerous men are luriking ...i should hope a huge amount of fights for this arc, right ?
Even more devious is the preview that will lead the party in a more complicated situation , as it's obvious now that
is a clear treat that must be taken care of ( yet another objective to fullfill ).
Oh i'm hyped i don't know how the writter will manage to make it work , but he has to.
Next week can't come soon enough.
Trully the character i'm rooting for..so cute
I'm almost at the point where i would buy a fig.

There is a difference between having your protagonist act a certain way, and having them feel downright contemptible. It's a fine line to straddle, and some can execute on it (Evangelion gets that with the majority of its cast), where you will often have an aversion to their behavior, yet you appreciate that they are good characters.
Haru firmly sits at the opposite side of this equation, and only serves to drag down everything he is involved in. His sullenness isn't really a foil for the other characters, and raises that familiar quandary of thinking "if this was real, no one would be friends with him." Simply put, he acts like an asshole, with no real justification for doing so. Even as a character within the medium, it's bordering on the ridiculous. Bizarre.
It's really at odds with the rest of the presentation, and is a clear burden to the rest of the show. It's supposed to a breezy anime about swimming, I don't need brooding.
Summary: You can't spell "fun" without boring!

its not like the show was lacking :wonzo before ACE
probably planned ahead. Season's budget piechart probably has 1/3 of it go to ACE's henshin.

yeah but before ACe came , they spend their budget animating that 4 cure finisher !!
it's a vicious circle , by the time they could have recovered from this , they'll have another stock footage to animate !!

Well in 10 eps or so, we can expect the 4 minute long final form transformation + finisher.
Last quarter of precure episodes tend to have mostly weak fights because of that...
I've had hours to think about this statement and yet it still perplexes me.
So what you're saying is, stock footage is the cancer that is killing Precure.
I can think of only one solution to this. Kidnap Ikuhara and make him direct a Precure series so he can show everybody how it's done.
It perplexes me how this statement is capable of perplexing you. It seems quite straightforward and natural to me.

Sunshine's transformation and attack in Heartcatch had the budget of two full episodes allotted to them, and Ace's were at least that sumptuously-animated, so it's no surprise that corner-cutting had to come somewhere, especially considering that Doki's production values are lower to begin with.
I find it odd that you would rather have fat slobbering greasy men than lovely looking ladies when it comes to the role of the penis in a doujin.
Congratulations!

Well this was pretty much filler but the final arc should be begining next episode. Still kinda fun even though this was an offence to football. Intentionally so perhaps.
