I enjoy the idea that SHAFT are just doing whatever they want with Nisekoi. Honestly, like you alluded to, they might as well.
Hitokage converted them to Doremi-Gaf...
...maybe HapCha will bring us together again!
There's the new Sailor Moon as well...maybe...
hopefully...

The thing is though, each of their shows look distinct from each other. Yeah, there are the head tilts, but you can't say HidaSketch looks like Natsu no Arashi looks like Arakawa looks like Denpa looks like Sasami-san looks like Monogatari. There is a deliberate intent to push visual metaphors and well, visual stylistic gimmicks in each show, but it's not like they are making the same show over and over again.
(Unlike, say, KyoAni).
WE'VE ENTERED AN ENDLESS RECURSION OF TIME
Yes! Precure 5 GoGo! 8
Syrup focus episode...? Those are some pretty damn intelligent
little birds
Also I like the way the Cures protect the clock tower from the giant monster that's attacking it by toppling the giant monster directly onto the buildings behind. Oh, we don't care about those buildings, those have probably just got people in them! (Actually I'm pretty sure damage from magical battles is automatically fixed once the battle is over, which raises the question of why protecting the clock tower is so important anyway...but mustn't think too hard about these things =p)
Also that photo of Milk watering a glowing blue rose definitely wasn't foreshadowing at all.
Got a director and pushed back to July.

Yeah, those interactions get really great because all of the younger cops seem a lot more willing to accept Conan as being a pretty smart guy (and maybe something more, at least Takagi has had some suspicions about that at some point), so you get something a lot different compared to Megure being really set in his ways. Detective Boys + Satou and Takagi always gets you some great moments from each group.

That too. But we have 2 weeks left until it's done and put out of its misery.
Doremi-GAF is kind of difficult to cultivate in comparison to Precure though. Hopefully HapCha is better to the point that it'll be easy to cultivate new people.

Quite so. The lack of consistency between the character designs is often done for humorous purposes e.g. Ryo has a standard character design, a more 'handsome' character design and a ton of wacky gag ones. Although, in the above mentioned example, it's just one of those cases of 80's characters looking completely different in different shots. To think people still complain about 'off model' these days when it's barely anything compared to how bad it used to be!

Non non Biyori - 01:
That was pretty relaxing. Can somehow relate too as my hometown had only 6000 people. Originally I was going to enroll to village elementary school where I would have had something like 5 classmates but they abolished the school months before beginning of semester. Then I enrolled to the bigger school in town (25 classmates lol).

Yeah but at least he has 7-tone shading or whatever.

I had a suspicion about what Okita was planning to do, but the way it unfolded...holy shit. I laughed maniacally during the
Twist after twist, after twist, good god, a show of the forever this one is. And there are still 8 episodes left?!? This will be a run to the finish line.

Holy shit,
This series is deceptively dark.
Holy shit,
he ripped that guy's heart out! He just ripped out the whole freaking heart!
The truth is that most of the time people aren't complaining about off-model, but about good animation. Incidentally, Milos got a lot of shit from many places due to the "QUALITY animation" (????)
Yeah, I saw that. I was meaning hopefully it turns out to be a good show.
Hm, really? I haven't seen Doremi yet but most of the comments I can recall seeing people seemed to think that Doremi was better than PreCure, so I didn't think it would be that bad.

cardfight vanguard 1-2
not a fan of pussy protag and kinda pedo looking rival, but i do like how they treat it as a card game (imagine a world lmao), and they did a decent enough job explaining the rules.

I think a fair number of anime viewers care more about how detailed, orderly, and precise the show looks in stills than how good it looks in motion.
Which part were you talking about?
KirbYuuYuu

Well, truthfully, it is better. However, despite the Precure franchise being rather massive, it's biggest advantage is that we can sell a season since they're not related to each other outside of Max Heart and GoGo (fuck these two). Ojamajo Doremi requires people to sell people on a show that is 216 episodes long (factoring in movies and Naisho).
That and the other advantage for Precure is that I could be shitting on Doki, but despite that, there were others who shown interest into the show. That is how easy it is to sell Precure.

I'm 2 episodes in. I feel like I'm watching a shonen starring Kid Goku, Lupin III and Gilgamesh.

Madp told me there was exposed midriff in Heartcatch and I watched it, that's how easy it is to sell Precure.

You've seen nothing.
That was also censored in the 2011 version.
You see the actual heart in the manga and 1999 anime. There was no shirt to get in the way, Killua just ripped it out with his bare hands and crushed it.
2011 version is still better though, since the censorship is completely gone when the good stuff happens.
Little girls that act vaguely like actual little girls do and no fight sequences, a fairly lethal combination in terms of drumming up enthusiasm!
As much I like expressive sakuga with crazy motion. I still prefer Mitsuo Iso's detailed cut and effective use of frame.
Crazy fight sakuga in Dandy eps 2 with lack of detail in face and body proportion isn't my preferences.

You sounds like you're soon going to be one of those people who only cares about a show if it's on Netflix or else it might as well not exist!

Oh I know, which makes it exciting!
When does the "good stuff" happen, in your judgement?
Crash Station
Member
Well, "good stuff" isn't the right term since I find it good/great from the beginning. However, the arc people refer to when they hype up Hunter x Hunter is among the best in the genre. I think it starts around 39 in the 2011 series.
Come to think of it, the censorship is actually pretty much gone by the arc before it.

I think the main reason it's harder to get a "Doremi-GAF" going is that it's more difficult to get people to watch older shows than it is to get them to watch new or recent shows. (See firehawk.)

And that's just the heavily censored version, too.
Hunter x Hunter can definitely pull out some really dark stuff. Especially in a couple of the later story arcs.
I think that scene was one of the first moments in the series that just made me go 'holy shit, I didn't expect to see that'.

I'm still amazed at what Togashi did at the end of the special Kurapika chapters, even if it was just text. That is NOT something you would ever see in modern shounen jump.
Yeah (I mean, Sasami is watchable in a way that later Monogatari episodes are not), but as you said, the gimmicks they push are what marks itself out as being 'SHAFT,' hence the endless cataloging of headtilts, etc, etc. It's not the same show being remade over and over again, but the quirks remain, and that's unhealthy and restrictive as hell.
I guess what I'm saying is that anyone with talent should move to DEEN.

It's especially shocking because
you have this serial killer with an imposing figure who looks like a real threat, and you're expecting this tough, heated battle between him and Killua, but instead Killua just calmly walks out and effortlessly kills him in an understated yet horrific fashion.

Speaking of Nier, is this your first time playing it? If so let me just suggest to not give up due to the fishing mission, it's infamous. Also, do at least one new game+ as the stuff they add on the new game + is amazing and makes you feel like a piece of shit. Different experience indeed.

Yea it's my first time. Eyes are bleeding from the jaggies everywhere but I'm getting used to it.

Oh, that
Dessler lives, even at the end after he blows up his fucking ship
Funny enough, I never got around to Orange is the New Black, and while it's one of the best TV shows of 2013, I can't see myself ever getting to it.
I better marathon through House of Cards S2, because the alternative is I never watch it.
I still like the Shaft-isms.
It gives them a sense of auteur-ship - which includes all the negative connotations attached to that word.
But then again, I'm also perfectly fine with SatoJun making the same show over and over again, so maybe I'm not the best person to justify Shaft's Shaftiness.

That isn't the problem. Precure in itself is pretty old, as well as longer running. The main problem is the length and time needed to dedicate to watching Doremi. Nevermind Doremi's "hook" being a lot more subtle in comparison to Precure.
LOL

The character designs, outside of super tan chick, look so bland. I'm not asking for Katanagatari... no wait yes I'm asking for more Katanagatari designs.
I keep hearing the joke she's the romantic interest/girlfriend, is it confirmed?
It's not the best game out there, either visually or gameplay wise, but it IS a very good campaign and has very good characters. You're in for an experience on one of the most underrated games from the last gen.

Revy is cool but she wasn't my "first".
i think the final fight of S1 wasn't that good even when all of S1 was pretty good.
Cubik didn't lose ... he was too busy doing so much other stuff he couldn't win.
..is the escuse i would have taken normally , but the truth is that melancoly is just superior.
Love how cnet "behind the scenes" are so close to reality.
It sure was , but not everyone think that for the same reasons.
No all rings ( replicas or not ) have different effects, the replicas are just less powerfull.
