That's not a bad thing.
Are there any others in AnimeGaf who've seen it? A few other people in the Ghibli thread have seen it at least.
Around episode 10 is where it reveals its true nature, and while I'd say it's still not the most exciting show on air, it's gotten a little bit better.
I went through a DBZ phase in middle-school, but I never actually watched that much of the show. I played the fighting games a bunch, mostly.

Then go and watch the abridged version and have yourself a laugh.
I liked it as a child, watched every episode I could watch. But I tried recently to watch it again and it's actually terrible. Toriyamas wish of having one, only one chapter adapted per episode was baaaad.
Yeahhhhh growing up I was never really watched anime and I sure as hell didn't stay current with the seasons. Before November of last year I probably watched 5 shows to completion, and earlier this year I was putting down 2 cour shows in 2 days.
There is just so much content out there its hard to decide if I should stay current or pound out the backlog. The struggle is real.
Edit: Gundam Wing, Escaflowne, DBZ, Inu Yasha, Love Hina, and Ranma 1/2.
So 6.

I didn't find it boring. But it's from a visual novel, so the pacing isn't like some other anime.

Yuyushiki was a pretty adorable and comfy anime. Feel bad for all the good shows and movies lost in my backlog.
Time for GochiUsa and Inari I guess.

That's more than me. The only anime I watched was Pokemon. I also watched a bit of Sailor Moon. It was pushed so hard in Canada because they did the dub here.

Back in the day Dragon Ball Z was good, but now I doubt I'll translate well. But Dragon Ball without the z was great even now I feel.

I gotta say, this anime was awful and I only watched it to find out why it is talked about so much. Good thing Makoto's voice actor doesn't use the same voice for his roles, or else I would be reminded of him often.
Anyone have any recommendations for what I should watch next? I can add myanimelist if you want to see what I have already watched (it doesn't have everything I have ever watched, but it has a lot of it).
Edit: My Anime List
So, I believe he had sex with all 7 girls. My one prediction was true, and that was someone would commit murder. Well, two people actually committed murder! Makoto definitely deserved it, but the (also predictable) twist at the end made him a very little less deserving (that is, for cheating on two girls and having sex with 7 in total, he still deserved to die because he was messed in the head). The fact that Sekai was pregnant was obvious, but she was cut open to find this fact out...

Nothing. JC Staff did an fine enough job on Little Busters buy KyoAni would've done a lot better.
Just join forces again and make great anime. Key has been a bit quiet so I hope they are working with someone right now to adapt those two VN's.

I'm going to recommend fate zero like I always do. If you've already seen it then start packing no more anime is worth watching.
Add me, please.
What specific theory? I love this kind of theories to shows and movies that are most likely not true, but have good arguments so that they could be.
Of course, it's only one step away from wikipedia.

Don't say that. F/Z was one of the first animu I watched and nothing has come close since. I guess it's time to just give up on animu.
Already watched Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood , Ghost in the Shell and Bokurano?

I have good news - there are hundreds of anime better than Fate/Zero, rejoice!

Getting minor shades of Love Live from the end of the episode. Also wasn't expecting the James Bond gag in the beginning, and it leading into some of Climb's educational nature, only regarding yosakoi. Most of the runtime was spent on Yaya and Hannah bonding with each other, and it was infectiously cute with how much they were arguing and yet really getting along. Naru didn't have a very big role, but I'll prefer heroines like her and Nyanako every time. Also ties into what I was mentioning before. Kirara's produced a lot of series that have plenty of overlap, but this feels completely different than GochiUsa. Much more meditative and dealing with themes of expression.

I actually didn't like Planetarian all that much, it was just kind of there.
Might be because KyoAni can make more money off of original creations instead of just adaptations.

I think you were the one who recommended it. I have you to blame I guess.
Didn'T read yet, but that sounds a bit cheap. But I'll see if I bite.
KyoAni make original creations?

I know that feeling. I've spent over 160 days of my life watching anime and its one of the best ones I've watched.
Eventually you'll find something else that clicks for you though.

Not quite. If I wasn't watching the International I could even come up with a list!

I actually would love a list of good anime from people like you. I trust your taste to not be too terribly far away from mine (in terms of how much lewd is in it) . First sign of strike witches though I abandon ship.
And i just realized I need to watch second legend of galactic heroes OVA today.

Ok, so this is like Myst the anime. People go into books and live in them. We see Hazuki and Lilith jumping into 2 different ones and then one where Eve/Hatsumi/Jill is living in some world many years ago.
That train story seems to be set after the stuff in this episode too, and it looks like that food trolley girl is popping up everywhere, so I guess she's also book jumping somehow.

They did a light novel contest for Chuunibyou iirc. They chose one to get published and to get an anime iirc.
That one wasn't straight up created by the staff, but the approach of it isn't like other adaptations.
After that there's Tamako Market and Free.
Seems like they're finally adapting again with Amagi Brilliant Park.
Nah but its quite an entertaining watch the first time.
Thankies
Save the best for last. I fully agree!
Actually its not because there are subtleties that tie into the plot. Very important little details that seem at first mundane. thats the beauty of Steins Gate.
No need to be so mean :'(
New animu based off of a smartphone game, will probably suck: https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/ne...s-anime-with-akira-ishida-ayane-sakura/.76878
Nah, the first half of S;G is hilarious, has genuine chuuni humor that chuu2 wishes that it could achieve, people just have terrible taste.

That's probably because it tells one story and doesn't have branching paths, which would be perfect for adapting to anime so they don't have to do nods to other paths people could've taken in the VN.
Also that is madness! Blasphemy!!! Do it KyoAni and Key! Do it!!!

Out of this season from what I've seen I like Aldnoah and Terror in Tokyo the most.

Your joking right.
Poor Mr Woofington.
Isn't that technically adapting, since they're not creating something themselves, but adapt the winner of the contest who isn't on of their's. Well, I know they change a lot at times, but it's still an adaption, yes?
Wasn't that bad, but I rather read theories about shows that don't imply it by their own will.
