If someone claims Kimmy Gibbler as their waifu, I might just have to take a break from the thread.
Edit: I think I may have found Woofington's doppelganger.

If this show keeps declining we're going to have something truly hilarious on our hands. I wanna know how the king of Mars was supposedly dissuaded from his suspicions, because it really makes no sense whatsoever that he was thrown off the scent by one of the guys he was suspicious of to begin with. That's not something you can just do offscreen and have me buy it. I guess we finally met the one Martian who's not EVIL, but it turns out that he's a moron.
As for Inaho, it really bothers me that the mech he's fighting never comes across as terribly threatening. It seems to get as far as it does through incompetence from the soldiers. who just stand there, and because the turrets refused to fire more than twice despite the fact that the mech was moving at about the pace of a leisurely stroll.

Nekomongatari 2-4
Overall pretty much on par with bakemonogatari in terms on what I loved about it. The story arcs are a lot more focused instead of being all over the place in nise. However I guess that I'm just somewhat confused with araragi's intentions? Maybe it's just the way shinobu disposed of the white cat so easily which warped my perception on why araragi had to sacrifice himself in order to get rid of the white cat.

Time for another watchbet with Mike...
So we have a confession in the first 10 minutes, a kiss by the end of the first episode and a jealous friend. Why do I get the feeling this is going to end badly? School Days has ruined everything for me.

I'm fairly sure that even multiple rewinds didn't help me understand the ending exposition fully. lol
Wait for episode 11 !
It remains similar with 14 "stand alone" cases and 12 episodes devoted to the main plot ("complex"). I'd give it a shot until episode 4 where the main case begins, maybe it will grab you there.

Gatchaman Crowds 01
Space r̶a̶p̶i̶s̶t̶ Zordon recruits a new teenager with attitude by shoving his hand into her chest and other suggestive imagery. -_- The newly recruited Hajime does indeed have quite an attitude and quickly makes herself a nuisance to the rest of Power Rangers.
Eh I've heard some good things about it but this was just not my cup of coffee. Can't quite put my finger on it but the character designs rub me the wrong way too, the bikini clad girl didn't help. Will give it another episode.
JJ gave me Kyubei vibes.
Oh, what does Mike have to watch then?

Don't worry. Nothing bad will... no, wait... There's no bags or boats in this one. That I can promise you

It's a good general lesson to learn though Strike Witches has a lot more to offer you if you watch it right, and I'm not just talking cute girls!
Looking back at Vividred, while I enjoyed it I can see how them playing it safe as they did could irk some people. I can't be too down on the show though as it didn't really do anything offensively bad and it did lead me into Strike Witches...
Don't forget:
(probably a closer visual reference in scenes like that with beamsabres)

Not surprised the old detective was killed though, it was a matter of time before he got in too deep. Surprised it was the same episode as the warning though.

Why is Yaya such a great tsundere? This one is probably my favorite SoL show this season. Great to finally see them see some yasokoi in action as well.

Haruka's sister is great.
I'm getting serious School Day vibes, Narumi is going way too fast for anime relationships. Well at least he doesn't have Makoto's attitude and seems like a nice guy.
Everything is going great so far! He's got good friends, he's a nice guy who buys presents for jealous girl who show up out of the blue to say it's her birthday and he likes to make his girlfriend wait for him. Nothing could possibly go... oh... WTF?!

The most obvious mistake is that you're not using the dark theme.
I do sympathise with the whole classifying MLP as anime. But hey if Robototech gets classed as non anime or anime inspired, I guess a Japanese version of MLP should count as anime.
Is anyone in the thread watching Book of Circus? I never really got into Kuroshitsuji and I haven't really noticed anyone talking about it - I know it's not really this thread's demographic (it's basically a fujoshi show) but I was wondering whether this one was any good. Apologies if people have been posting impressions regularly... the only reason I really considered watching this season is because Yasunori Mitsuda is doing the music, to be honest.

Nah I only sympathise with the grammar nag, not with anything else.
That being said the 'anime community' are really shitty about this thing. Or should I say MAL-esque community, getting rid of awesome shows like Valerian and Laureline.
It seems theres only two real answers. I guess either animation made by japanese companies, or animation made with a Japanese creative source. Of course I can see either upsetting conservative folks. One would allow things like Marvel Disk Wars: The Avengers counting as anime, and the other would allow shows created by a Japanese person for the western market counting as anime.

Well, I haven't watched the show, but if they adapted it well it is definitely one of the better arcs of the series.
Theonik

Honestly I think it's an inherently bad question asked only by silly list nerds with a bone to pick.
In the case of Valerian and Laureline though, the show is made by Satellite with a french co-production.
If we can argue about genres, I feel there is room for equally silly arguments about what medium (or subset of medium) a piece of fiction belongs.
Never heard of Valerian and Laureline.
Theonik
Member
The genre argument is also entirely dumb btw. I remember many a dumb argument here about whether something is harem or not with some people being really desperate to defend shows for not being so. (because obviously when you label something harem it has to automatically suck and liking it makes you some sick tasteless pervert or something)
Well I just dislike it as a genre name, ditto slice of life. I don't need silly new genre terms where others would fit, like romantic comedy or drama.

His co-workers are kind of oddballs.
Well it looks like Takayuki completely forgot about his girlfriend. It seems she is still in a coma at the hospital. Her sister is pissed at him too. Does Mitsuki have no shame?

It's been waaaay too long since the last senjougahara appearance.

Kuroshitsuji is a fun watch, unique setting, one of the most fun Gary Stu to watch around, Superntural (The TV Show) vibe with the angel/demon dynamic..
The circus arc is promising so far.

Holy shit, another show that used Mozart's Horn Concerto in D, K. 412. Thank you anime for these gifts that only I could appreciate to their fullest extent. And it's the Exposition I.

Disc sales number for this week

JoJo first volume number is out, its score around 12k.. noticeably lower than first season sales, but still pretty good I guess.

Monogatari - Tsubasa Tiger arc
Loved it honestly. Nice exploration of tsubasa's character and I was a little touched when she cried at the end, not because of her heartbreak but because she finally learnt to accept that part of herself, which was really well built up throughout the arc.
Does make me question on how the fuck nisemonogatari is even conceived considering what we got here.
Ah, I couldn't remember that.

So , Well friendship "rocks"
But this episode was more than that. we've got multiple forshadowing events for later and some good character develloppement .
Really the direction this cast takes is really enjoyable.
The James Bond parody was great;
No really this anime does great things.
Only problem was this scene.
Thankfully the rest of the anime was great.

That shot was clearly made in a hurry.

Trivia: According to Nisio, he never plan to publish Nise, he only publish it after the editor force him to, that's why the qualitiy is questionable, and the fanservice is over the top. (he could be lying though)
if i haven't read Kizu, i sure as hell won't remember Episode

Riko's negative reaction to her nickname was hilarious. I am sort of confused about the newspaper club's goals now. And it was quite harsh for the Treasurer girl at the end.

I think this is part of the global theme of everything/everyone in "Nise" to be fake, to be an impostor at some point( himself working on this included )
