Since we're saying ridiculous things, Madoka is the Horizon of Fantasy anime.

Seriously though, Madoka is more similar to Bokurano than Eva. The rules of piloting Zearth and being a Puella Magi are very similar as is the general plot progression and there was even a callback to it in one episode.
Hmm...I thought you used one program for everything considering how awesome your gif look.
Will mess with it later. Thanks, DTL.

I loved the manga because it was in line with Mohiro Kitoh's (the manga author) other work. The anime, I only watched like 8 episodes and I heard there was a huge disagreement between Kitoh and the director. The latter wanted to make it happier IIRC so a few things got changed. Not sure how it turned out, but I think it was still pretty good and some people like the anime more than the manga.
I would say go for it. Of course you've probably already been spoiled on the first major twist if you've read the wiki article, but that's probably okay considering what we're comparing it to.

EDIT: How were people saying a page ago that Steins;Gate is otaku pandering? It's a show about otaku/otaku culture. ^^
It's set in Akiba and the four main characters are otaku. Okabe and Kurisu are 2channelers (added on that Okabe is a chuunibyou). Mayuri is a cosplay otaku and Daru is an anime otaku.
It's looking more and more like Reiko is the another every single episode

The curse won't follow them outside of yomiyama. That's what they believed with no reasonable evidence and the reason that guy died was stupid as hell. It's a damned beach ball, leave it in the water! Even if there's no curse following you that's still quite a way out to sea (therefore dangerous) and a beach ball isn't that important. Why was he so damned stupid.

Yeah, that was interesting. At first I thought "Oh no, we're moving into harem territory now," until it became apparent that they weren't permanent cast members, but rather characters put in just to speed the development along. I rather like that approach myself, keeps things moving. ^^
Another ep 8
I'm quite surprised for the pacing for this show even it's a beach episode. It's quite laidback. PA works really know how to do it.
Judging by there is a death outside of Yomiyama,the another has to be among the group which is getting way obvious who is the dead person.

There we now; now this post makes sense.
So FLCL doesn't have aliens?Why would Gainax lie to me?
It has
one single alien with a humanoid design that isn't trying to kill everyone.

I have a Persona 4 avatar and fully approve of this facepalm.
Not just because it's Nichijou, either...
The Atlus power ring is stronger than even I could have predicted...
Terribly so. Another reason, I hold no faith in humans and the poor taste MAN supports so openly.
Green is my favorite color so these pictures almost make me want to watch this, but I don't know if I actually will... nice screenshots though, so green!
This is what I said. More Green attack for the eyes please, people watching Smile Precure! Moar!
Haruko and Atomsk are the only aliens in FLCL; the MM robots are all manufactured in Earth.
There is a huge difference between "willing to kill everyone" and "wanting to kill everyone".

The story sounds not that bad and 48+ episodes confirmed
Diebuster 4
This would have been been a pretty bad episode if it wasn't for the last few minutes. All the topless
was awesome, I think that

getting killed made me so happy, it's a pity that they couldn't kill off Nicolas too. Oh well.

splitting Titan with a single attack would really mess up Jupiter, but I guess I can let it slide since it was cool?

Hey, Gainax has to survive long enough to release Evangelion on Blu-ray. >:|

That most overrated poll is kind of crushing, its like virtually everything I liked as of late got tons of votes, No.6, Sekaiichi Hatsukoi, Guilty Crown, T&B, Angel Beats, Evangelion film (got me into anime beyond Naruto), Kimi to Boku, One Piece, Toriko, Ben-To, Uta no Prince Sama, Bleach, Naruto, Mirai Nikki, Blue Exorcist, Penguindrum...
Bleach more overrated than One Piece what?

If I were to put it into a word, everything down to the bg music used, the scenes be it the action scenes or the touching sad scenes being greatly done
And for a while now my rainbows and shit have straight up gone AWOL, these last few episode have been incredibly good.

I suppose one could say the cast is...
... well rounded? ( ´Д`)y━･~~
I'm so sorry!
I don't know, I think some characters are rather flat and uninteresting, but the show gets at least a C for effort.
Oh god what have we done.

So our finale commences.
Next week, I'll reach the end. It's the first finale in my "new" season!
So our finale commences.
It's nice to see the show fully embrace its magical realism, and they really pull out all the stops in terms of trying out some unconventional animation technique. Everything emphasizes the protagonist's lonely claustrophobia, trapped in an infinite maze of his own room.
It's easy to see now that this sort of thing was inevitable (it's so central to the visual iconography of the ED, and it's basically in the title), but I'm kind of annoyed that things have to be explicated like this. I guess Yuasa is worried that some people might get the wrong kind of message from the protagonist's repeated failures? Then again, there isn't really a "conclusion" unless the protagonist can somehow firmly see how he needs to change, and this is the only way that kind of catharsis can happen.
I might have liked this show more if I'd marathoned it. It wouldn't have given me time to really consider the implications of any given episode, and then this would come as the kind of shock it seems like it's supposed to be.

Yes. Leina was an awful lead.

I know, right?
They are both equally overrated!
lawl. On a more serious note, I would say One Piece is the overall better show, so it would "deserve" more of its overall praise/popularity than Bleach. Therefore, making Bleach more overrated. I see no wrong there.
