That's why I picked it up, too.
However it surely is a slow burner unless you're immediately drawn to the character types early on, which I surely wasn't. But by now a bunch of them have grown on me quite a bit and it's a kinda refreshing setting as well.
Your goggles are busted.

You just reminded me I have completely forgotten to continue watching space bros. The slowest of all burns.

Persona 4 The golden Animation - 02
Excellent episode.
Indeed, there is no need to redo the same path you've already animated , let's just enjoy new things .
Ah ah , they actually combined the "close and personal" with marie route resulting in a great ep.
I like this.

It's going to fail so perfectly !

I guess maybe.
I dunno..I marathoned the whole show almost in one sitting. I was absolutely hooked from the start.

Does anyone else always skip the OPs and EDs entirely for new shows?
These days, I want to avoid spoilers so much that I don't even want to see which characters are going to be of importance (hence usually shown in the OP). I do sometimes listen to them but put the video in the background for the duration. Probably wouldn't actually get anything spoiled or so by this point but I've yet to watch Planetes OP and ED in their entirety.

You're reminding me that I need to finish Planetes. I watched the first half two years ago and never finished it for whatever reason.
I dont if I really like the OP. Usually I just let it run and if its not one I like I just play with my phone or something until its over.
If ever a show was worth your time that one is it.

You know even though I don't like her, I feel like the closest thing to a decent female character would be Asuka. She has reasons for being who she is, goes through a mental breakdown and rises above it. She is competent without being overbearing about it. She hampered by being the main love interest of a 14 year old boy, but she is still solid otherwise.
I don't like Balsa, I always felt that she was too competent, she beats up everyone, she a good mother, she has mental fortitude to not breakdown when there is real trouble. Her main failing is that she doesn't understand the feelings of her main love interests. :/
Kinda the problem with STRONG FEMALE CHARACTERS, they are just not very human, and are really not different from action movie leads.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I remember that. Watanabe made a request before the premiere that he wanted to know what the audience thought of the show. So Funimation after the two episodes started filming these short interviews to be sent back to him. I can't stop laughing at the fact that someone gave this to the news.
I mentioned this last week that I had huge fucking problems with the death count. I'm not necessarily sure where they're going with this before I condemn it though. The idea that there would be 0 deaths seems way too much of a stretch and it looks like
the police station bomb

Elfen Lied 04
Haven't they only known Nyu for 3 days or something?
Girls touching eachother in weird ways and it's not the length of the vector that counts. Poor Nana though, and Kohta got some kind of messed up harem now.

I feel like the female cast of FLCL doesn't get enough credit sometimes. Even if things can seem almost harem-like on a surface level, the three main characters (Haruko, Mamimi, Ninamori) are all using Naota to solve problems or fill holes in their own lives. All three have rich, emotionally complex inner lives that have nothing to do with him.
Is there a reason that Utena hasn't been mentioned yet?

Kino was quite human. She's a very good marksman because she practices all the time but otherwise shes a traveler.

I wouldn't mind upgrading my Planetes DVDs from Bandai for some Blu-rays. Wonder if news of someone license rescuing this at Otakon will happen, along with the other Sunrise series from FUNimation and Sentai.
Rich and emotionally complex inner lives that all revolve around chasing men.

Yeh when I heard that there were supposedly the zero deaths I just rolled my eyes. Especially given the devastating imagery provided. Was almost cute how they added 14 or so lightly injured people...
As far as the police station bombing goes, it looked like that'll have casualties for sure? I mean not only wasn't there any time to evacuate as this was a real bomb but if none of the people get hit by any of that debris falling down they'd be rather lucky as well. That said, they didn't show that anyone was actually in the police station shortly before the explosion and maybe we're supposed to believe everyone left the station in order to chase down the next potential bombing location? Sounds a bit odd and unlikely however, especially since sure as hell not every last person would leave the building.
I'm hoping they do not keep this zero deaths count going. In a show that tries to be somewhat realistic this is just completely destroying my suspension of disbelief.
Kotaku sucks but Chaika is legit good.

If they are that good, Yoji Enokido must have really lost his way since then.
Don't you mean duckroll?

I don't praise a monkey because he didn't throw shit at my face one out of the 20 times I've been at the zoo. He can enjoy decent anime it doesn't make up for his horrible taste.
Regardless I was laughing at the opening line.

Never said it did. But chaika is too good to really criticize it much. I mean its not a masterpiece but it was competently written and enjoyable for what it was.
Only Haruko!

Tokyo Ghoul 3
In where our protagonist is shocked by ghouls, or screams like a little girl, or falls flat to the ground.

You need to watch "cute girls doing awesome things" anime
Girls und Panzer
Yama no Susume
Sabagebu
My top CGDCT picks are:
Minami-ke
Gochuumon wa Usagi Desu Ka
Azumanga Daioh

Yokoi and Seki-kun have all this pent up sexual frustration. To be young.
I have an anime avatar so that automatically means i love underaged anime girls and stuff or something

To be fair, there's really only one cute girl in both Minami-ke and Azumanga Daioh, which is more of a compliment than anything else. Most of these cute girl shows nowadays may as well be clones of each other with different coloured hair.
I know what you're all about. Chasing after young, innocent bread. You sicken me
You don't have animu avatar doe..
