Is that so? Well I'd like to see that, because I really, and I mean really... Do not believe that.
Now take a lap... I'm smoking.

Well, like I said, most of this is because the franchise is based on a cool picture a guy drew. There's no real substance intrinsic to the franchise, the only actual necessity is a character named Black Rock Shooter. In fact it's not even a character, it's just a design.

It starts out with an arc showing the characters when they were younger, when Nodoka went to their school before she moved to the place she is now. They'll get older after that.
...You didn't notice that that part was in the past (compared to the main Saki series) from younger Nodoka there? She's in the preview.

Is that the same character? I thought it was supposed to be about her cousin or something. I really know nothing about this show beyond the fact that girls play MJ in it!
The old shows you are actually watching don't exactly have bad animation though.
LOGH is pretty damn impressive for a 110-episode series that is mostly talking.chickdigger802

You can't really compare asian dramas and Japanese animation. There isn't the same kind of gulf between Japan and America in terms of talent. Yes, Japanese animation is typically done on a much smaller budget, but Japan still has some of the best animators and studios, at least in terms of traditional animation. I mean, in America you can see soulless crap like Family Guy in prime time. It is not at all difficult to name anime that look better than that.

No, that's Nodoka. As is mentioned in the original series she's moved around a lot, and she used to go to Achiga, when she was younger. The series starts there, then has a timeskip after she leaves.

No, 2 for 3 means 2 of them lived up to the hype (for me). Though I feel like I'm forgetting something. Maybe Blood C? In that case, it's 3 for 4.
Duckroll must be so happy to have a true nakama.

OPPORTUNIST. Kanna showed himself to be a complete pimp--in every sense of the word--this ep, and
BROKE shortly after. Gotdayum. A misogynistic glass canon, he really was.

Ah, so Nodoka isn't actually a character in the series?

Right, just in the beginning part. The five girls of the new school (with the girl who wears just that jacket as the lead) are the main cast. The manga spends a decent amount of time on the earlier-years part though, so I'd expect at least an episode of it.
Got a pic of dat girl in the jdrama? Hasegawa?

Hawt.
Maybe it'll be a sham like the first four Chihayafuru episodes. lol

I keep forgetting this guy exists.
He's actually more popular than Zen in Jump, than again that's not exactly saying much since he finished 9th or so lol. Not like it matters, the good Akune stuff will never get animated regardless, same with Zen and anything to do with Kumagawa.
nooooooo

Whoops, misread
Has any sort of episode count been confirmed yet for Medaka Box?
The original rumor that came out around the same time as Gainax animating this (but this had Imaishi attached as director, which may have been true @ the time) was that Medaka Box was going to be split cour. And really looking @ things.. best case scenario for that is first cour would be upto Unzen, maybe start of Flask. Second one would finish that off.
So if anything we might see a killer cliffhanger showing Kumagawa.. and that is it lol. Let us pretend not animating Kumagawa was the reason Imaishi said fuck this and left Gainax. "I can't skip straight to Kumagawa and have to animate a guaranteed sales bomb focusing on medaka and zen? Fuck this I'm outta here".

Kumagawa showing up at the end would be the biggest blue balls troll of all time. That means it will probably happen :/
Hey you have to admit it would be a great hook for a sequel... of course it won't get one if it sales like it probably will.
Dat's me. Best girl!

Eureka 7 characters look just as "anime" as anything else.
That artwork is gorgeous.

I never really liked E7's character designs to begin with. And yeah, they were as generically 'anime' as any other character designs.
I certainly do. Oreimo is visually appealing to me. It's a pity everything else about it feels increeeeeedibly uncomfortable.

Seriously. What the fuck. I don't understand. Shitty show/ending with minimal good parts. Only good thing that was consistent was the visuals and music.

I guess the only explanation is that she cant keep the knowledge of the people that she awakens in, which would possibly explain how she could keep the ancient mindset that God is just in the heavens, which would be I guess space/moon? Though Im curious what she will do in todays and then the final episode as they really seemed to go all out in episode 11.
I guess it just epic and looked so cool that I ignored the reasoning for it and just sat in amazement.

It is. I don't see anything wrong with the Oreimo character designs whatsoever. they are very appealing and cute. They arent derpy or clumsy, just well drawn and clean.
