Mirai Nikki 24-26 END+ OVA
The most romantic love story ever told.
The finish was surprisingly decent. Both direction and animation (that fight in ep 25th) wise. Might be my new favourite "so bad so good" show. Story wise it was really crazy. In just the right, hefty but controlled amounts to be entertaining. Though, I think I'm going to pretend the OVa and the post-credits scene of 26th ep doesn't exist lol.
My policy of general avoidance of openings and endings really came in handy here as not only the second opening is atrocious but it also heavily spoils the biggest twist in the show.

....I feel like the final episode of Mirai Nikki could have inspired Rick and Morty.

I just dropped the Valkyria Chronicles anime after 14 episodes.
I don't mind when an adaptation changes a few things.
However,like many other adaptation , most of these changes in this anime don't make any sense.
At this point the anime just pisses me of, so the best course of action is to stop watching it.
Also, fuck the spoiler in the 2nd opening. There is no way you could overlook this one either.

I feel like my tastes always sorta stray from general GAF tastes the more I stick around this thread.
I got into Samurai Flamenco because of all the hype surrounding neck-snapping twists by the dozen but there were only really
and the
was the only one that worked for me (spoilering to be polite). When the
happened I thought it was an incredibly dumb reveal that took away a lot from the show. Everything after was pretty much unwatchable to me.
Meanwhile I love Mirai Nikki. And not in an ironic "so bad it's good" way, I thought it was actually pretty good. The plot problems or weird things you have to suspend your disbelief for weren't big enough to take me away from it.
Taste can be a funny thing sometimes. Hell, I liked SAO just fine.

You must be crucified under the unforgiving eye of AnimeGAF, it is the only way to be redeemed.
As long as you like Shinsekai Yori then you're okay in my book.
I also liked Mirai Nikki and thought Flamenco was complete garbage. And if you look at reviews most people agree.
It just seems that people that watch really really huge amount of anime have very eccentric taste. And you have alot of them here, compared to casual anime watchers.

Well, there is definitely no hive mind when it comes to tastes with anime here. I liked SAO, enough said there. But I also have a much greater tolerance for imperfections in animes where others here treat them as fatal flaws and won't really give it a chance after that.
Basically, we all have different tastes, you're favorite anime sucks and your waifu is a ugly troll.

Also in which world is an excited life related to kittens?

Actually, just think of this situation, some stranger suddenly wakes you up and then starts spouting all this nonsense, I'd be creeped out for sure.

It won't. Show is pretty much X-Men at this point so it's probably a new power user.

Whoo! Dodged that bullet.
I'm aware, but you can definitely see consensus and general trends within any group or "gathering" online. Of course there aren't hive minds but if you look at a lot of posts and notice trends then...well, you can identify the way certain anime are looked upon in a general sort of way. Obviously I'm not saying everyone thinks X is garbage or such and such. But still you can make general statements most times that aren't entirely off the mark.
I, likewise, can withstand a lot of crap and enjoy something. Very little in an anime is a dealbreaker for me unless it builds up or strikes things in a wrong way. Basically if I find one thing that is done uniquely or interestingly or find a character I enjoy or aspects of the plot that are neat, even if the surrounding stuff is pretty low, I can normally deal with it and soldier on. Though even I have certain things that remove me from an anime completely, and as I get older and older those things are getting bigger or increasing. For instance, I watch a lot of crappy harem battle school crap so I watched Trinity Seven and though I will readily admit it wasn't particularly good it was fine and I could watch it without much issue. But holy shit, I tried watching World Break and in the very 1st episode when she kisses him and he's like "You shouldn't kiss people so easy it devalues you as a woman" or whatever I fucking turned my computer off and threw it out the window. Most of the time it's the MC that turns me off to an anime considering how rare it is to find a good one or one not afraid of vagina with backwards-ass public morality ideas on women.
Also, I'm pretty sure my waifu is your waifu.
I always liked this one:

Wait, that's not correct. The director is Keiichi Hara. Scotland Loves Animations' page for the film even says that in its bottom paragraph. Someone messed up. :|

Summer plz end faster.
No problem, glad to have helped.
Those Ranma sets have always looked nice to me and I've always been interested in importing them.A bit of a tangent, but I've never seen Ranma but I've always been interested in the series ever since I was young and saw a commercial on Toonami, I still remember the song from the commercial clearly
. Ranma, Yu Yu Hakusho and Kenshin are three totally different show that I've put in the same boat as series I haven't seen, and feel as if I've missed the boat on ever watching, although a few of you have urged me to watch the Kenshin OVA. I don't know if I'll be able to appreciate long series, ones aimed at a younger audience (the Toonami generation if you will) today but I'm hoping that one day I give them a watch as I'm sure they hold up.Good eye, I didn't spot that. It would be weird if the director of California Crisis and Miyuki directed Miss Hokusai haha. I'm very interested in watching Miss Hokusai
Because its production is one of the greatest production disasters I've seen in a while.

I'm so glad that Suna and Yukika didn't end up together. I didn't like her too much (she came off as slightly annoying sometimes) and they just didn't click. Her demeanour is also a bit too similar to Yamato's (cutesy, shy, blushes a lot, etc) so I think it would be a lot more interesting if Suna dated someone whose personality is more "out there".
Despite just saying that, I like Suna without a girlfriend. I can't imagine him dating anyone anytime soon.

Suna needs a girl too, so we can get some double date goodness!
Actually, I Am ep.10
Pretty funny episode. We are bordering on harem stuff though, which kinda ruins it, but oh well. We need more episodes like last week that focused on the true relationship between Shira gaming and Kuromine. Mikan is super annoying and why would a mini alien chick be interesting? That ending was pretty damn funny though.

I know a lot of people are hyped for OnePunch Man, but I guess I'm the only one who's hyped for Young Black Jack.
It's going to be one of those shows where it's completely overshadowed by another series.😒

Nintendoman will watch it due to the source material and I'll be there for Ryusoke Takahashi bringing da goods.

So good, Candy store and Renge are the best duo in anime~
Also loved how Renge reacted to the good 'ol thumb magic trick.
