Bulletproof way to know that you are NOT a Noble: Refer to your mother as "Ma" ...

Rosalie might not be a proper noble but she's certainly Fabulous Max.

Was... was that a Precure movie in the OP? o_O

The self awareness in this show really delivers some comedy gold moments I hope they keep it up.
Yep, the fourth All-Stars movie, in theaters next weekend.

Something else cool I just learned: the "catchphrase" they think up in the library is actually a reference to the very first Super Sentai series, Goranger.

Am I the only person still watching Guilty Crown?

Do I get a medal?

No you are one of many, but I'll give you a cookie.

Ah all-stars that explains it (wait, fourth!?), when I started seeing the Heartcatch mascots I was in "lolwut" mode.

I also tried this show after seeing the recommendations earlier. I got to a shower scene with elementary school girls and bailed out.

Sounds like someone is angling to re-earn a tag.

Haha, in the Hanazawa Kana & Iguchi Yuka audio commentary track for the first episode, for the most part they're just rambling about general topics about the characters and the other VAs, in ways that aren't terribly related to what's going on on-screen--then that scene starts and Hanazawa suddenly blurts out, "Oh, boobs!!" and starts paying attention to the video.

I can't believe there is some kind of weirdo who actually recommended the show to you. That guy is messed up :(

I love the show. It's really enjoyable, a total guilty pleasure.

I see that you're starting to appreciate why Shin Mazinger Z has also been called The Baron Ashura show! It's like the director, Imagawa, realised that Ashura is a far more interesting character than Kouji.

It doesn't help that he basically benched the entire actual main cast. Really, this is the one thing about Shin Mazinger that really irked me. I hoped we'd get out of this show with fresh modern takes out of Mazinger's main cast, but it seemed like Imagawa just didn't care about them and didn't put any effort into their characterization at all.

It's perfectly normal to think,stare and blush about a elementary girl not to mention saying things that have another meaning.

saying things that have another meaning.
This show/novels gets a lot of mileage out of that style of humor (e.g., that Tomoka clock)
Subaru's head is full of nothing but basketball so of course everything he says is innocent from his point of view.
And many giggles are had by the audience. Or at least by me.

Good god,somebody should lock araragi up and throw away the key. Toothbrushing and now breast groping,what's next?

On the other hand, poll on Persona 4 fav character
http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/interest/2012-03-09/anime-one-poll/favorite-persona-4-character

I though Chie is popular? Why is she the 9th place?

Chie is only popular with a small subset of fans, many of whom coincidentally post here, thus skewing your perception as to who is actually popular.

I didn't think it was bad. Just weirdly disjointed.
Well... more than an animated short or even a pilot, I find it more as a proof-of-concept; it is true it feels disjointed trying to cram on that little time what to expect from a whole show, but beyond that and leaving you to fill the blanks it can be very engaging on its own.

Looks like just blatant fanservice isn't just enough, they have to throw in subliminal.

It's a BIGLOBE poll, for god's sake. There should be a moratorium on reporting such things as 'news'.

This is a slippery slope my friend, soon you'll no longer look at the synopsis of an anime, but merely watch it because she's in it and you'll end up watching stuff like Seikrei, Zegapin or Asobi ni Iku Yo!

...Actually that's not a bad idea. *adds to watch list*

That's a fair assessment though. So far he's the most interesting, most tragic character and the driving force behind the show.

How can one mistaken panties as a hankerchief?

Please don't remind of me of Asobi ni Iku Yo! The MC's dumbness level is over 9000 even Hnnngzawa can't prevent me from facepalming.

Something is very very wrong if you ditch a girl at your age that likes you to play with elementary girls in the pool and being shoved with underage tits and pussy. Why can't he admit he's a lolicon?

Vampire Princess Miyu 21 - 22

Episode 21 was just plain generic, coupled with good intentions, bad result, can't say the end wasn't in line with expectations.

Episode 22 had an adorable look on Miyu's past and an explanation behind Reiha's animosity towards her from the previous episode, but way to lay on the destiny line very thick.
