You mean it's a faux-Nodame; my favourite anime series to grace this planet? Thanks for notifying me, BluWacky!

Yay. More people watching Madoka.
EDIT: I feel compelled to rewatch it with this many new Madoka viewers.
EDIT2: Mokoi is just changing avatars to fit the topic of conversation.

Just keep on watching.
Yeah I think you should. It's a pretty solid show.

Lends credence to the "ribbons are parasites using Chiyo as a host" theory
You guys should definitely check it out.
Wait, so her ribbon is a parasite?

The manga is so much better, considering they are adapting it like a shonen battle manga which it is not. Basically a advertisement for the manga. The only thing good about the adaption is the opening and ending visuals. Though as a standalone it's good but compared to the manga it's disappointing.
usually I am not one to go on and on about how the manga is vastly superior (for example the anime adaption of agami ga kill is just fine) but in this case... the manga is vastly superior so give it a shot. Most of my big complaints about the anime aren't even in the manga lol.
Wasn't til recently that I found out what happens to a Paras when it evolves.
For some reason I never bothered to read the flavor texts.
What does she evolve into?

Oh boy, I've been watching SAO and the protagonist is a whiny little guy, and a Gary Stu to boot. Sigh, why. I'm still in the beginning, but I hope it doesn't tarnish the game tomorrow.

Ok, I'm watching Madoka right now, and how is this a R - 17+ in MAL? And that beginning is just....wtf.
Shit, naked girls in the opening music. C'mon, at least tell us that, if I was watching this in public I'll be damned.

It's not an OP without naked girls floating in dreams or space having newtype moments
All will be understood in due time, friend.

From what I've heard and saw on the interwebs, Hanamogatari happens before the ending of S2/Nadeko Arc. Is that true?
No. This is after everything. Arararararararagi and senjyougahara are graduated from highschool.

That was what I had thought, hence my confusion at some of the talk in this thread.
It's nice to hear that the manga is good as the premise of the show has a lot of promise.

Tami is still the best girl but Yaya is cool too. The rooftop screaming sequence was really cute / funny.

Log Horizon - End
It's nearly 2AM and I'm not really good at writing down breakdowns so I'll keep this brief.
Thoroughly entertaining series with only a few bugbears such as the "cake" moment. On the whole this is a very competent series that works hard at melding the analogies of the MMO staples into the reality the characters face themselves in.
It's not perfect since in creating such a large cast, the authour leaves himself unable to devote time to much characterisation beyond a chosen few (as the show points out a few times) which can be to it's detriment at times.
I highly look forward to seeing where the final goal of the second series is; if it will even finish there?
Thank you to all for the glowing recommendations which encouraged me to watch it.

Thanks for clarifying that. I'm going to wait a little longer to see if CR uploads the first episode.
After that, back to the eternal wait for Kizumonogatari.

Quite the timing.
Re:Hamatora 7
So he didn't die. He was just severely beaten.... Okay I suppose. Considering the last few episodes have been kinda heavy, it's good this one had a much more comedic tone to it. Although, that doesn't disregard the fact that he
lost his minimum.
The BEST kind of girl!!!
Youll see...
This isnt one of those hatewatches. Madoka is well crafted.
Ah.
Ahahahaha.
This show is excellent dont worry.
hell yeah thats what we live for!

Saw this earlier and it was pretty adorbs.

I think I like stock syfy over stock phantasy, so I enjoyed what I played of it. lol
Like you said, there's only so many ways to make talking interesting!
Yeah Hajime hasn't been used much at all so hope she gets some more development of her power.

Just watched episode 2 of Madoka, and that art when they fight is just so surreal, I wonder what it would be like to watch this anime under the influence, shit would get even crazier. Right now I just started the infamous episode 3, let's see if I shall continue this or not.
I love SHAFT because they have an identity and certain style. Even if it is overused I can't help but smile whenever I see an extreme close up, a super long shot , and of course the amazing head tilt. I can't get enough of that stuff.
I can't ever tell when what studio is animating a show as I just picked up anime about a year ago, but seeing a SHAFT show just makes me happy.

I feel the same. No matter how cheap they are they have an excellent sense of direction and style that makes their shows pretty fascinating. It has a very specific feel that is unique to Shaft productions.
The problem I have with SHAFT stuff is that it's just so overdone. When I first saw Madoka I thought the unique style was really interesting but now that I've seen more and more of their work, especially the cheaper productions, it just feels like a formula or a checklist instead of artistic expression.

With all these Paras responses to that Nozaki-Kun girl, I'd hate to imagine an anime girl that looks like Koffing...
Ano Hana - 7
Okay, I like this show better when it focuses more on the contrast between the childhood and teenage years of these people. I don't like it when the focus is away from that and the Menma story and is just a bunch of teenagers doing stuff.
Thankfully, this episode had a bit more of the former than the last two did, but half of the episode still seemed very slow, and without much going on.
At least now something interesting seems to be going on with the reveal that

Syaoran does shake things up a bit, and I enjoyed the history of how Clow Reed got his powers. Europe and China working together and then the powers migrating to Japan. In Clamp's world, everyone is a big happy family. I'm not sure what the idea of magical girls and older men is, because that showed up in...
Sailor Moon 29-30
29 just makes me think that it needed more turtles. Since my first exposure was the toku version, I can see Makoto and Motoki together naturally, with lots of turtles involved as a cornerstone of their relatonship. Usagi really does fancy herself some sort of guru of love despite having no real skills in it yet. As for 30, I'm not 100% certain, but I think I watched an episode of Ranma 1/2 by mistake. And I've never even seen Ranma.

Only zetsubo sensei & bakemonogatari are the series where they "abused" and those séries have just way too much of talking.
Their output of pani poni dash or more recently nisekoi were much less obvious and had a flow of those "things" that made sense in context.
