Not sure why, but this season's been a dunce for me...watching Hidamari on and off, but that's about it...
Oh and Omamori Himari, but that's just because I found the OP song to be catchy...I'll probably stop even watching occasional episodes after I get my hands on the CD single at the end of this month... :/
Everything else just seems...bleh....even stopped watching Railgun regularly...

After reading through the anime recommendation thread I decided to give Nodame Cantabile a run through. Good show, really enjoyed it. Anybody else like this one?
I'm up to episode 4 of Kimi ni Todake. Some parts are kind of hard to get through, but it's just like the manga so it's entertaining enough.
And the fuck is Durarara!! even about? I'm up to episode 3 and I don't see any semblance of a central plot outside of the daily life of this fucked up city. Good show though =P

Is it really worth it? and hows the second related to the anime?

I was bored the other day and decided to check out Chu-Bra for the lulz, and I got hooked in an odd way.
Am I a bad person?

If you wouldn't feel uncomfortable explaining your actions to a court of your peers, then no.
Cobra : The Animation 5 - Predictable entertainment, I stay just for Cobra's non-ironic voice-acting. And for the tension of when Cobra will use the psychogun.
Nadia : huzzah that bitch finally got slapped in the face. It was a long time coming, and nearly brought a tear to my eye.

So can anyone make some suggestions this winter season?
I wanted to try out the top 3 and avoid all the fan service stuff.
Thanks

So I finally got to see Katanagatari. Pretty good so far. The dialogue is great. It just sucks that it's a monthly series.

I've been pondering why this manga series hasn't gotten an anime version of it.
BTW anime-gaf, is this the only zombie manga out there in Japan?

Yes Durarara and... er...
Watched the first epsiode of Bakatest yesterday, I'm with what other people have been saying, it's stupidly entertaining.
What is the name of Darker than Black's first season? Right now I'm looking at DtB: Ryusei no Gemini, and Dtb: Gemini of the Meteor and I don't know which comes first.

The first season is usually just called Darker than Black, and very rarely Darker than Black: The Black Contractor. The second season is called either DtB: Ryusei no Gemini or Dtb: Gemini of the Meteor, but it's the same title.

Big meh to me. The anime is going to be nowhere near as awesome as the manga, much of it will have to be cut out for broadcast.

Dullalala 5 - after last weaks episode which centered around a couple of characters this weak just seemed really unfocused. Maybe I just don't care about those characters that we focused on this week, but then I didn't have too much trouble with them in the opening. I honestly couldn't describe what that epsiode was actually about, the pacing just felt wierd to me.

Fuck yeah, MADHOUSE! I was worried Gonzo was going to be doing it.anotheriori said:
Green Green TV anime is totally wtf!
Seriously just when I found some alright ecchi it turns from weird to WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There's this episode where girls and boys pair up for some scary stroll in the night. anyways, there's this extremely perverted fat guy with glass that stumbles on a bear. The bear for some odd reason ends up raping the fat kid in some bushes. The fat kid doesn't eve try to runaway and politlely asks him, "why now!?" or somethin in that vein.
Not just that, there's some dude that sniffs a girl before eating a plate of white rice. Honestly wtf!!!
Do some japanese actually do this kind of shit

Lol yea the friends are so annoying, also warning the ova is basically softcore, though I felt that it hit that 'payoff' for the girl I was rooting for.Verano said:

It's only fucked up because of the melodrama. I suppose it's doubly funny because they went ahead and made an alternate ending OVA just to please fans of the other pairing. :lol

Yeah just saw a commercial. Starts next Saturday no less. Wonder if they got anyone to replace Al since his VA in the original is too old now.

While the episode is structured with the end first, chronologically, that isn't very interesting as it's fairly overused. You take events A,B,C,D,E, and then lay it out E,A,B,C,D. The idea, usually, is to build up some tension but the events themselves didn't feel particularly tense.
Anyway my main problems with this episode were with i) the characters that were focused on and ii) the epsiodes flow, pacing and focus.
As i) will be personal (anri sonohara *yawn* I will try and explain ii). The last episode was very focused on two characters and the events that surrounded them with few extraneous scenes. This week we had
Opening attack scene, cut to Stely's hideout, cut to mikado, sonohara and Kida, cut to a flashback of Yagiri, then scene with Anri and the teacher, then the three of them in the park, then explanation of Yagiri and that girl with the apparent neck scar, then cutting to the 'discussion' of who is strongest in the city, then some Kida back story, which is focused on for a bit while he also goes around asking about the Dollars, then the events of the begining.
Theres attention going to too many different characters in the episode, none of them getting the right amount of time and all the scenes don't really sit well with each other, pacing wise.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
Well FMA is a bit different. I think the popularity of the original run of FMA was what caused them to run any anime at all in the first place.Averon said:
Adult Swim loves shitty non-sequitor focused nonsense though. I doubt they will stop making those.
