The feelings in the TV show are completely artificial, though.
Yomi's jealously makes very little sense because her relationship with Mato doesn't have any kind of weight and they haven't given the audience any kind of significant or meaningful interaction between them. The depth of their relationship is reduced to the silly picture book they're both obsessed with. Honestly, BRS TV feels like non-characters acting dramatic for the sake of acting dramatic.
So with regards to noitamina, I was thinking of watching some of the older/rarely talked about shows from the block. What are some good choices? Ignore stuff from 2009 onwards as well as Mononoke, Ayakashi, Paradise Kiss, and H&C. A better question might be, is there anything that should be completely avoided?

I say take a pass on Jyu Oh Sei, and watch Hataraki Man, Moyashimon, and Library Wars. Hakaba Kitarou was pretty good, too. (And has a glorious Denki Groove OP)
Man, this episode was really dragging. Also, I failed to say it last time, but I'm kind of annoyed at how much jargon they're dropping so early on. That kind of stuff always annoys me.
Madoka's sister is still amazing, but, geez, her partner is certainly the foil to that. He's so incredibly annoying, and I hope that changes. Also, that weirdo guy who keeps hanging around Lan is on my "I've got my eye on you" list. If only because he gives me the creeps.
I don't know if it's just my own fault for not having watched a more recent mech show than Eva, but I keep getting strong Eva vibes from lots of stuff in the show. Well, except for Madoka's sister's whole "WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?!" deal, but I suspect that wasn't meant to be a throwback to Gurren Lagaan, haha.
I kind of hope they keep reusing shots similar to the cut-away shot of the still of the chairs with the ocean in the background. It's nice (maybe too brief) pause in the show.
So the first half of the episode tricks me into believing that the show has the potential to actually handle the real world stuff in a lighthearted and generally inoffensively pleasant manner. But then
the counselor. What the fuck. I want delicious yuri counselor, not batshit psychotic counselor, and if that wasn't enough it looks like Yomi is beginning to return to her stupid insecure MATO HAS ANOTHER FRIEND THAT MUST MEAN SHE HATES ME attitude from the OVA.
Oh, and everyone is now vaguely psychically linked somehow. Yeah...
Duckroll, I told you they rejected my BRS script after all! This episode wasn't nearly as
Just finished Toradora... where's my fucking insulin!?
It wasn't what I expected. I expected something less substantial and more stupid I guess. Not really my kind of show, too sweet for my liking, but not bad at all. Really well made, too. Great animations, and the expressions were simply incredible. Never seen anything quite like it in that regard.
Why is this show only one cour? I really like watching this show, because it puts me in a relaxed state of mind. The characters and their interactions are all enjoyable for me,
except for the newest girl to appear, who just reminds me of Olive Oyl for some reason
. With all the crazy love polygons in this show I can only expect nothing to be resolved, but I'll not be worried about it as long as there aren't any stupid twists in the second half of the show.
Let's frame a serious scene featuring what is supposed to be an honest love confession that forces the protagonist to accept his own feelings with really dumb rape jokes and slapstick ecchii antics.
I totally agree, it really wrecked the mood. I'm curious to see Ichika's reaction next episode, and I doubt it'll be a classic misunderstanding since we've only 6 episodes to go. I hope Tetsuro gets a happy ending, I like him the most out of the whole cast. I'll be cheering for Kanna, too, fufufu.
I say take a pass on Jyu Oh Sei, and watch Hataraki Man, Moyashimon, and Library Wars. Hakaba Kitarou was pretty good, too. (And has a glorious Denki Groove OP)
Regardless, its so hard to stay concentrated when only like half dealt with tennis and that with such an unlikely scenarion. Next episode seems cool but I hope we get out of this training arc, its just not as enjoyable as training arcs in our favorite long running series.
-Now the Student Council girls are being the party poopers.
-Green-haired girl is getting suspicious of Sekai.
-You gotta step it up Katsura.
School Days - 04
-
OH YEAH, YOU GET IN THAT MAKOTO. MAKOTO WITH THE SQUEEZE!
-Oh screw you Katsura. Stop being a party pooper. The one male protagonist who doesn't get a nosebleed around women and you're acting like that.
-
Oh, she's just more of the uber-romantic type, I get that.
School Days - 05
-The fanservice episode. Eh, I suppose this will just be filler?
-I suppose not. DAT MELODRAMA.
Really Makoto? You're gonna go straight for Sekai's butt cheek like that? Anyways, Katsura's boring. The chemistry between Makoto and Sekai has just been soooo much better. But dude, Makoto, you gotta dump Katsura first before you pull that shit. Messed up. I may consider Katsura to be a boring person but she doesn't deserve the scandalous behavior that's being committed behind her back.
I can understand why this show was the topic of discussion a while back.
School Days - 06
-"I wonder if he's sleeping." Your thoughts aren't too far from the truth, Katsura, you boring girl you.
-No. Now Katsura is starting to grow on me. Is it because I feel sorry for her? It's gotta be it. You're a nice girl, Katsura. You're a nice girl, but that don't cut it when you're being boring like this.
-Oh snap, where's
Joey Greco? Cuz Katsura is gonna need the entire crew of Cheaters right now.
-You POS Makoto.
Katsura is trying to love you to the best of her ability and she falls down on the sidewalk and you have the audacity to simply ask her, "Are you okay?"
She is so much better at apologizing than Oichi.
Dear lord, was that a terrible OP. I kept hoping it would get better as it went along, but it never did.
I do like the rapid reintroduction of everyone coupled with the girls getting all action-y.
Talking about Spring, and having Kidou headtilt most of the time was entertaining, but they pretty much lost me by the end of it. And, once again we get Rin as a bus hostess.
At least the ED is pretty good.
Ririchiyo is hnnngtastic, but very snarky. Though she apparently doesn't mean to be? Anyhoo Soushi shows up and completely breaks all her defenses one by one as he basically follows her around like a lost little dog (thus the Inu). The poor girl has nightmares though due to shit that's happened to her because of her rich upbringing. :/
Soushi is well... clingy isn't he? Inu is exactly the right word for him. And I like Karuta already! First the Hanazawa Kanna-ness, and the delightfully quiet quirkiness! XD
MANIAC!! I like Nobara too!
Suddenly, robbers! Well, to be expected since they're all rich. But then Ririchiyo goes all demon-y and gets a bad case of the glowy eyes. And apparently they're all crazy-awesome Youkai. Sweet! And Nobara you are SO HOT IN THAT KIMONO YAOZA!!
I swear, the people in the control room are completely useless. They can't intercept the signals from the guy talking to Madoka, they can't keep control of her mech, they can't stop Lan from leaving, and they allowed two people to break into the facility. No wonder they needed outside help!
Hooray, Lan finally made her mech transform, and she's a princess! And she has emotions! Lan > Rei
I wonder what all this "legend" business is! I'm sure we'll be getting to that about 2/3 into the show. (fake edit:
Oh, they just said it. Okay, so we're destroying everything.
RAD)
Probably had one of the funniest things in the show happen so far in this episode when Madoka was blocking the attack, hahaha. Also, the bit with naming the Ovids at the end was pretty amusing. Once again, so relieved that Lan actually has a personality (as well as other things). phew!
The people who handle the background art (specifically the skies) must have a blast.
Black★Rock Shooter 03: why am i watching this turd i don't even like the fucking song or the video they are dumb
can we just have a straight up miku anime? like her going into the pop idol industry and having to deal with the fact that she's not real but she is better than the real idols or some shit like that it would be like chobits meets idolm@ster with cute dance numbers and music
the worst part about all this crap is that it is replacing thermæ romæ that cartoon was actually fun even if it looked cheap
-Poor Kotonoha. I once loathed you but now you are the only ray of hope in this show.
-
Yeah, green-haired girl, you kiss Makoto while he's sleeping. As if you weren't creepy before.
School Days - 08
-I've never wanted to punch the main character of a harem so much.
-Everyone is a scumbag on this show but
Kotonoha was right to slap Sekai. Even though Kotonoha is totally in delusions-ville with her convincing herself that Makoto even slightly cares about her, you tell Sekai what's up. Keep doing your thing, you crazy girl you.
School Days - 09
-
Makoto wastes no time, he's just rubbing on Sekai's butt like a fiend.
-
Everyone is getting laid.
-Is it bad that I actually enjoy this show because
everyone is really aggressive by harem standards?
School Days - 10
-No, screw this. I know where this is going. Kotonoha's
craziness
is unsustainable.
Telling off Makoto's dude friend after they did the nasty with each other? This show isn't going to end well.
-Can Katou's 3 bitchy friends SFTU for one second?
-Welp, that's it.
Makoto has now done what he should have done several episodes ago. Kotonoha has nothing now.
-Yeah, screw you again, Makoto.
-
OH SHIT, SHE'S LOOKING AT THE KNIVES.
-
OH SHIT, THE SITUATION JUST GOT VOLATILE. SHIT IS GOING TO GET SOOOOOOOO REAL.
-Really though,
a hidden camera? That's messed up,
even by bitchy high school girl standards.
School Days - 11
-SMH @ THIS ENTIRE SHOW.
It's time to finish it, GAF. There's no way this show doesn't end
Well, I knew the "you can't follow me into the restroom!" joke had to come sooner or later, glad it was sooner so it's over and done with. Seriously Soushi is so bloody needy! I get he's supposed to be like a dog but man, laying it on thick!! The chibis in this show are really good. Like, Hayate no Gotoku good. Seriously that's a compliment. I fucking love them. Especially Ririchiyo's chibis! XD
Nobara is like... my voice in the show. Yess. Yeeeeeeeeeeeeees... er... *ahem* Sorry, I kinda lost myself there for a minute... Well it's nice to know why she's still putting up with him, because his words about being loyal to her, not her family name, meant a great deal to her. I can see that.
*eyecatch*
Um... wow. Nobara, I take it back. Even my imagination of the worst case scenario doesn't go quite that far... >.>; And at least Ririchiyo isn't as completely clueless about cellphones as the BokuTomo MCs.
Ririchiyo Youkai Mode: On! Very nice, and totally cute! ^_^ Awwwww the party. Awww, the cellphone scene at the end. SO ADORABLE!!! :3
