I was going to make a case for why Nadesico is better than Rinne, but you're doing it all for me.

I just watched it and I don't even remember how it happens.
I thought it was funny that Dilandau just sort of rode off into the sunset with his posse. So random.

How
That is some seriously fucked up shit.
Nadesico is good stuff, a lot less fanservice than Rinne no Lagrange from what I understand.Martian Successor Nadesico - 1
That is what I call a great firs episode. It had space invaders, space-battles and a fine mecha fight. The introduction of the characters was fast but so good with some nice comedy elements.
And now after watching the first episode of Nadesico. I'm absolutely sure Rinne no Lagrange has the same light hearted feeling like Nadesico.
Uchip your performance in the dog thread is disappointing. I thought you were an equal-opportunity furry
Im not a furry
but it is interesting that having an avatar of a cute anthropomorphic character on the internet is worse than being gay in Virginia in terms of tolerance

Agreed. Find a way to play the game if you can. The anime isn't good and greatly rushed in story for much besides filling fanservice holes for those that have completed the game.

More people should catch up on real classics like Nadesico. Silly, great fun.

I only watched the first two episodes, but they were terrible. Have you even watched the first series?

My doubts are cleared...this place is a masochist den.
"I knew you'd like 'em. How d'ya like 'em? Do you like touching them?"
I rather have the impression that Nadesico is no longer an "essential" anime in the same way it seemed to be in the late 90s/early 00s. Much like shows like Ranma which were once required viewing for any anime fan, it's fallen out of recognition.
Animage's top anime ranking for 1998 placed it at third, above Utena, Princess Mononoke and Kenshin in terms of popularity. But Nadesico and Battle Athletes are hardly the titles they once were.
...Just No! how on earth was the first two eps terrible? the new remake is not as good as the old one but in no way where the first two eps bad, hell the second ep was excellent.

Welcome to a classic. One of the most underrated 90s series by far.
Wish they did a followup to S1 someday.

Despite the major developments in the episode, I find it hard to feel anything for the characters...

I mean Shu getting obviously what was coming for him and Arisa breaking down like that... meh. On another note I never noticed that Shu's power was on his right hand or was there ever a time he drew a void with his left hand?lol

They kind of did, through games and book(s). Also there is the movie, which I assume you deny the existence of.
Wait a second... WAIT A SECOND... Makoto's father
FUCKED FIVE GENERATIONS OF HIS OWN OFFSPRING THAT HE STARTED WITH HIS HALF SISTER?

WHAT. THE. FUCK.
WHY? WHYYYYYY!????
So the final list:
Arjuna
School Days
Blood-C
Eiken
Garzey's Wing (dub)
Black Lion (dub)
I'm both excited and horrified. This could potentially break me
Don't forget to add Utena! (not a troll recommendation)
The similarity with with Utena and those shows is that it fucks with your mind. (but in a good way!)
Damn. That's just horror story material right there.
Yeah, Makoto's got
sexual deviance
Still, it's the best harem show ever. It doesn't matter how fucked up the games can be, the show is the REAL awesome.
Can we please never talk about anything 0verflow has done ever again.
Now, where was I...
Trapeze 7 aka Kuuchuu Buranko
This may be the best episode yet. Or that could be my love of over-the-top Yakuza stuff talking. I love the way it opened, and I liked the way the episode integrated flashbacks into the storytelling.
I really like the relationship dynamic between Seiji and his wife. It's a lot more nuanced than you'd think, and it makes Seiji, who'd otherwise be almost a caricature, seem really human.

Woah, breaking through the Earth's main linie was pretty awesome with nice mecha fights as final.

Jooeeeeeeee!
AnimeGAF got me on Utena before I was ever even a member. My life was never the same afterward.

But, it is the ultimate form of trash anime!

But School Days is actually pretty fucking well-done. It's not Troll 2.
Must've been my phone. But it works either way. Must be a sign.

- dealing with the death of his comrade
- 3 new pilots (hot)
- mecha fight
- the start of a romance subplot
And all this in 20 minutes. Insane and fantastic at the same time!

If 7 isn't my favorite, then it's definitely 2, if just for the part where he
dreams about whipping his dick out in the cafe

School Days isn't just your average trashy anime though. I mean, seriously, it's kind of the nadir of the whole harem genre and for that reason I'd consider it a legitimately important work.
I would still say it's not worth watching, unless you hate yourself.
Regulus Tera
Romanes Eunt Domus
People willingly evading good anime makes me sad.

Undoubtedly. Yet, at the same time, it's influence spreads far and wide, infecting works from other genres left and right. School Days is important is taking such a thing to it's er, logical, conclusion!
School Days is the Evangelion of Harem Anime.
School Days is the Inception of anime
I don't even know what that's supposed to mean, but I'm pretty sure it's true

Nope. They never explained really the king power.
I don't want to watch the first episode again, but I think the symbol appears on his right hand. Still I was surprised. At the end The real king power isn't only in the hand. It's in his heart or whatever and he is going to kill Gai-V2, save Japan and die as a martyr. Everyone will cry because they betrayed Shu. etc.
Only 5 episodes left and I can say "I survived Guilty Crown 11/12"
We need to have an Evangelion established for every genre. So far, I think it's generally agreed upon that:
Evangelion = Evangelion of mecha
Utena = Evangelion of Shoujo
Madoka = Evangelion of Mahou Shoujo
and now School Days = Evangelion of Harem. For starters, here are some other genres that need their Evangelions defined:
Comedy
Fantasy
Horror
Moe
Shounen
Slice of Life
Space Opera
Sports
Yaoi
You guys really know how to sell me even more on never watching School Days.

Always a strong contender in the 'I hate myself' category.

What have we become.
You (and everyone else) forgot the Mad Bull dub.
Yeah, we're more awesome now then ever.
Higurashi is moe, right?
