It's fine to criticise something you're watching but this is just sad.

Indeed.
Surely you have enough stuff to watch that you like.Watching stuff you hate purely to rant online is well...talk about sad.
Not the first time I have ever done it, probably will not be the last, the hate watch is on.
Apparently 1000 years from now it means you find ancient Greek Gods to be attractive.
Hatewatching should be self-flagellation, not masturbation on a fanbase.
Making fun of the shows I hate is half the fun of anime for me.
So this is why you're so reluctant to watch any show with magical girls.

I haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaate SAO so much but if somebody wants to watch and enjoy it I wont tell them otherwise. I also refuse to hatewatch the secknd half

There are few fanbases I've seen who despise their hobby, their fellow fans, and themselves as much as anime fans seem to.
thank god gamers exist to make us look better
I posted this already. It didnt work
I can be trusted though!!
And the sad bar is raised.

It's because anime is the worst.

Exactly. I watch more anime than people might think, and if I get bored with it, I end up dropping it. I don't keep posting episode impressions on how bored I am. They'd just end up turning into that Nostalgia Critic song.
do it, corvo.
So... it's a magical girl show with Ninjas and Electric guitars? I'm confused.
Oh clearly. I choose not to watch Precure and Magical Lyrical Girl Nanoha and Pretty Flower Deluxe Space Princess not because I find no interest in the genre, but because I secretly love magical girl shows far, far too much to hate on and therefore can see no reason to watch them publicly, lest I lose my reputation as a curmudgeonly carrion bird.

I absolutely will tell someone not to watch SAO. I'll probably start mail-bombing CNet's PM boxes telling him not to watch it. I'll furrow my brows and shake my fists and stamp my feet until he stops liking what I don't like, by golly!
Er, I mean I try to persuade others not to watch it, but they're as free to like it as I am to hate it.
I dunno, I mean, I seem to recall you didn't hate Gundam AGE strongly enough.
Salad bars are delicious man.

bad gameplay lol
I was reading up from the bottom of the page and read this post from someone else quoting it, and I knew right away you were referring to Shard.
And you know what? This is the same bullshit Shard did with Watamote, and it seriously comes off as purposely trolling people who like something that he doesn't. Like Dresden said, it's petty as fuck.

Anime is the salad bar without a sneeze guard.
Clearly!
To be more serious, though, Precure taken as a whole is fairly pedestrian and Nanoha is fake magical girl so sterile of relationships you can conduct surgery on it. If you were going to be watching anything, I wouldn't recommend you consider those.
No, it's just full of awesome.
History has justified my utter lack of disdain since you've experienced what truly terrible Gundam is since then.
Preach!
Corvy trusts me just fine.
You gotta live on the edge, man. Is that snot or vinagrette? Taste it, find out, and then tell EVERY SINGLE PERSON WITHIN THE SOUND OF YOUR VOICE ABOUT ITS FLAVOR.
This is the way of the Corvo.
It's like a learning experience.
I know what it means to be drawn and quartered alive. Doesn't mean being buried alive isn't a horrible way to go.

Added to backlog.
I haven't watched any anime at all this week. I think I'll start with Tonari no Seki-kun, since it's short.
Also, I think I'm gonna order Texhnolyze and Pani Poni Dash. I don't want to watch Pani Poni streaming, since they've only got the dub. :/
But do you return every day and eat the salad just to tell people how terrible it is?
I recommended Kiddy Grade silly.

His initial comment was kinda dumb but I'm all for making fun of people that liked Watamote. I thought that show was garbage.
Yeah, he did Big O (believe he was more involved in the second season) and Lain among others.
do it, corvo.
So Princes Tutu = FLCL?

Making fun of people who like anything is a pretty bullshit move, especially in a thread that is ostensibly supposed to be a community of sorts. GAF is supposed to be better than that.

Apparently.
Sakura Trick 1
Yeah okay, this does seem a little disappointingly bland outside of the whole girls-kissing-girls hook. So it's a good thing I really, really like girls kissing girls. <3
I like the way they seem to have paired up all six of the girls within about five minutes of introducing them. Now that's what I call efficiency.
Shizuku appears to be the cutest girl. Yuu is second-cutest, but seems a little too disinterested in the whole yuri kissing thing for my liking. MC is super-generic, has too much :chet, and isn't particularly cute, but I do at least appreciate her pure and passionate love for Yuu.
Also my god that jump was amazing XD

I didn't say it wasn't foreshadowed, I said it wasn't well-established.
As i mentioned, the security forces were only seen in Episode 9 and their numbers were only glimpsed, so I wasn't convinced that they would've been large enough to take over the ship; secondly, there was little to no discussion of the Izumo plan's existence or of any dissent regarding the Yamato plan to the point where I believed that a mutiny really could've occured, since most of what we saw was the bridge crew being mission-focused. While the ringleaders etc. discussed the plan, and there was a lot of meeting in darkened rooms stuff, I didn't feel it was conveyed that the muscle behind the rebellion either existed or was convincingly on board.
Sometimes, sure. I don't often quit shows that I find spectacularly awful. It's the spectacle, really. I mean, "How awful can it be?" is basically what kept the Ripley's Believe it or Not show on the air, if not all of reality television. It isn't noble or whatever, but it sure as heck is fun taking pot shots at shows I think are bad.
When it isn't fun, I quit it. That's why I dropped Victory Gundam- because unlike AGE or 00, it wasn't even fun to hate on it. Same with Rah Xephon.
I also occasionally drop shows because they don't look like anything I want. Samurai Flamenco and Speed Grapher are both shows I didn't get very far in because I saw no real reason to.
True, true. If you have more speculative science fiction, I'll trust you on that.
Speaking of, I suppose Kiddy Grade sort of counts as a Magical Girl show.

On the rarer than finding a shiny Pokemon chance that you DO decide to watch Nanoha(it's good, but watch Kino first), make sure you stick with the movies, because they're perfect for those unfamiliar with the franchise, as they don't have to sit through S1 Nanoha's filler.
Just throwing that out there.
What kind of awesome? The heaven-piercing Gurren Lagann kind of awesome? The Hunter X Hunter kind of awesome that's also insanely dark? The Nanoha kind of awesome where girls fly through the sky shooting lasers at each other?

Personally, it was a bit rushed in regards to sectioning off really fast like that. But eh. 4komas and whatnot.
AHAAAAA!!

Wake Up, Girls! 1
Didn't realize I should've watched the movie first.
Have only watched love live for idol shows but I prefer the tone of this, something a bit more grounded and not already mirroring idol packaging. Also, the pantsu shots are silly as hell but I can forgive it for not having cg sequences.

You'd think it would be, but I still see it all the time.
No, the first movie had awful pacing that didn't let anything breathe at all. I may not be big on Nanoha, but the TV show was much better than the movie.
It's also only 13 episodes. You should be ashamed for saying "filler".
Hmmm.
Oh yeah? What if I defeat your self-deprecation with RESPECT?
I mean, it's as Magical Girl as Madoka, but if you want to count it there you go, that raises it to a grand total of maybe 3 shows.

Magic Sensou 1
Opening: Passable.
Ending: Surprisingly like it.
Only an episode in and I already think blond girl is best girl.
Not very big on main girl though. Actually might hate her for feeling so generic.
MC seems useful so that's nice and his friend seems interesting enough if he appears often.
