Does nameless protagonists still talk so quickly? I tried to watch it a while back, but had to keep pausing to catch up on dialogue.

Took a screenshot (back then) for GAF in glorious forced 16:9;

Me neither.

That was a lot more boring than it should have been.

 

[RurouniZel]

I don't know, I think some characters are rather flat and uninteresting, but the show gets at least a C for effort.

Spoiler

Oh god what have we done.

I suppose that's a good average, though team performance is too bouncy and unpredictable, often acting independantly instead of working together in proper pairs.

Spoiler

We're doing what you think we're doing.

Kanna getting ripped to shreds over and over again wouldn't be so bad if Ichika weren't such a boring character in comparison.

Indeed, though even with such characters the story retains it's shape and with the exception of some perky episodes here and there the tone seems to be consistent.

Spoiler

We're putting people's lives at risk.

In the arena of tomboys with magickal powers, Cure Sunshine is the best.

Sunshine wasn't so much a tomboy as

Spoiler

afraid to express her femininity

. March = 100% authentic tomboy.

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.

I'm glad that One Piece is as popular as it is in Japan, it actually deserves it.

We are relevant now.

AnimeGAF is so overrated these days.

Diebuster 6

Spoiler

Why did they have to kill off Nono. ;_;

A good ending for the series, I'd say the biggest flaw was that Lal'c was entirely unlikeable most of the time.

 

[madp]

March isn't a tomboy, Sunny is.

I don't think that she's as tomboy as Sunny, but I was just following through on the Sunshine vs. March comparison. If you take away the domesticity, I don't think that Nao's that far off, just a lot less hot-blooded.

 

[Ultimadrago]

Almost wholly irrelevant post: Reading the thread title makes me envision a small bar/grill called "Outpost Cajunator" where there's anime playing on the TVs instead of sporting events. Fund it?

Only if you swear to have Tim Schafer make a video to Kickstart it.

I'm glad that One Piece is as popular as it is in Japan, it actually deserves it.

Oh don't get me wrong. I'm pleased with its popularity as I've enjoyed much from One Piece. First part was more of a tongue-in-cheek Big Three joke.
Even though not completely against its list inclusion, it should be even lower.

I wasn't actually responding to the joke part of your post, so I didn't think that you thought that, hah.

Curious question: How many anime series are you watching/catching up with currently?

The list is pretty nice!

I will watch all the animes

Yeah!

Wait, no!

I like this comment.

I shouldn't have quoted the first line of your last post, I was just lazy

MAL says I'm following 20 different series currently, though a few of these I only watched one episode of and then just decided to wait until they were completed so that I could marathon them.

Jesus wept. Being associated with anime fandom is suffering.

In slightly less depressing news, proper website is up for From The New World. Nothing much new to report on the show, which is getting unveiled properly at Anime Contents Expo at the end of next month, but it gives a clearer look at the key visual.

The screenwriter doesn't inspire a lot of confidence, but it's an adaptation so who knows.

There were a few years where outside of KyoAni works I stopped watching anime. This was one of the reasons.

 

[Regulus Tera]

So has anyone there figured out the list originated here? I wanna see the rage.

Uchuu Kyoudai

http://www.ytv.co.jp/english/sp04/index.html

The story sounds not that bad and 48+ episodes confirmed

Hmmm, interesting. Wonder if it could be a long running show. Guess it'll all depend on how well it does. Looks like the only long running show A1 is doing right now is Fairy Tail, so I'm not sure if they're big enough to handle 2 at once.

 

[Jex]

WE ANN NOW

But of course.

 

[Dresden]

Wow, 48+ episodes for a title like Uchuu Kyodai? Kind of a departure from what we've been seeing lately.

e: I guess Hyouge Mono is another recent title.

 

[Jex]

[Ano Natsu 8]

I find it amusing that Ichika is the foreign/exotic/alien girlfriend but somehow she's got all these 'ideal' qualities. She's always getting with the cooking or the laundry because that's the women's place in the home.

As expected

Spoiler

the whole alien-plot seems to be nothing more than a device to generate intense amounts of DRAMA whenever the writer deems it appropriate. I suppose it fits in with all the other 'plot devices' present in the show.

The show is really brazen about dropping characters/events solely to move the romance-plot onwards. This would normally be something really bugs me, but the show is so in-your-face with how obvious its being that I find it a tad charming.

 

[Einhander]

WE ANN NOW

Oh please. Chihaya Full, No. 6, Fate/Zero, and Future Diary aren't overrated. The word overrated is thrown around too often.

Is Uchuu Kyoudai an NHK series? Several non-shounen 3+ cour shows have aired there in recent years like Phi Brain, Hyouge Mono, Element Hunters, and Kemono no Souja Erin.

Cure March is a poor man's Cure Sunshine.

This is not comparable at all.

Persona 4 - Episode 16

Kenji's a motherfucking badass.

The way they end these episodes with these uplifting pieces of text is really cool.

Bonds of People is The True Power

Love it.

 

[Jex]

There's also a flashback scene in chapter 2:

Spoiler

Eureka fell out of the sky 15 years ago and landed in Okinawa. She gave birth to Ao, and people started treating her like an alien. Then there was an incident where there was a massive explosion of Scub Coral growth on the island, and she disappeared after that. Ao is also shunned because of this, and apparently the appearance of Scub Coral on the island is what draws the "Secret" monster invaders to the island.

Wtf.

I don't think it's a sequel.

What the HELL is this?

I think a lot of daytime anime is pretty longrunning, but since generally just the late night shows are watched/discussed here, they usually aren't factored in.

Space Bros. is an NTV show. It's taking over the 7 AM Sunday slot that Beelzebub currently airs in.

 

[Jex]

I can't remember if I asked this question before

but

what do you people think of Requiem from the Darkness

It's a very good series, definitely worth your time.

Gunbuster 6
Incredible ending.
I'd even say best ever, but I'm sure that's just the rush of emotion talking.

Spoiler

Anno really loves using the Hallelujah Chorus

It's the power of black & white footage making everything feel more serious.

Didn't realize it was early morning. I don't know what this does to my expectations for it, though long-running series are always a welcome surprise provided that they don't end up with terrible pacing.

 

[Jex]

Because lists stir up controversy, which stirs up hits and discussions, which stirs up attention for the site and ad views. That's how Internet "journalism" works.

To top it all off we are discussing it as well. Clearly the system works perfectly!
