Watched this purely out of boredom but surprisingly enjoyable. Benio is great, and watching how she teases Mashiro in every episode is hilarious and adorable.

Still kinda pissed they reneged on their deal.

Space Dandy 4:
The second half of the episode was pretty funny and unique. There was a little slog in the early going, but by the time the narrator is talking about
I was on board 100%.
Solid as an overall episode, although I wished that the first half was paced better.

My friend called me while I was watching the episode of Space Johnny Bravo and I completely missed the second half. But he has it recorded in HD so I guess I'll watch it next weekend with him (alongside episode 5)

Monpiece thread. I'm going to blame Devolution for that one. Emceegrammr decided to be a butt as well.
You and Kurz both.
Preview button is your friend.
Well, posting in a "game censored for loli images" thread isn't even being outside the "safe zone," it's posting in a minefield with a timebomb strapped to your back. It only takes one misstep, LOL.
Or you can just be like that one guy and run screaming naked into the minefield.

A lot of MSG references in this episode, but the one lingering question is who was the bigger bitch: Kaname or Shinji?
Kaname, since Shinji got over it by the end of the episode.
Would have made for a fun Dark Game in Yu-Gi-Oh! S0.

I'm really liking all the style shifts going on here. It's a nice visual break to an what is pretty much Silver Spoon harem edition.
Though all the farm activity were pretty amusing.

this reminds me of the Gintama opening haha
the character poll arc is still one of the greatest things ever aired on national television
If we also have moe girls getting blown up, it could be fun for everyone!

It really is. But to be fair, Gintama is one of the greatest anime to have ever aired on television.
And now that animeGAF is slowly bandwaggoning to it it's time to celebrate
I assume so but I haven't read the light novels to get the rest of tne story.

hot, steaming, as melted butter slips into the cracks, drizzled with sticky sweet syrup OH GOD
Speaking of Gintama...
Gintama - 72
Yamato references and giant wrestling dogs. This show just gets sillier and sillier in the best way possible.
I was watching Gintama before it was cool!

Patlabor: The TV Series - 1-2 (BD)
Very charming first couple of episodes. The cast of characters have a great synergy from the get go. It seems like Patlabor's strength in it's characters allow them a dynamic range in tone. Feels like I only scratched the surface, but I'm really into what I've seen so far.

Those are just freak accidents, maybe even shows from Earth-2 that somehow got to our universe.

This was the first episode I ever saw of FMP, and honestly I think it kicks off the best arc in the original show's plotline. Everything prior to this point has been a fairly light-hearted romp, and even the Khanka and Behemoth arcs at their heaviest aren't much more than James Bond thrillers. The Winds of the Homeland Arc, though, is where shit gets REALLY, REALLY dark, and is Gauron at his most lethal. It doesn't help that the Americans who team up with Sousuke for this have to be the dumbest non-traitors in Mythril, but shit goes from bad to worse in no time flat. And all the while Kaname is back home, safe and sound, and sulking because no Sousuke around for her to fail to hook up with in the summertime.
I really like the juxtaposition, actually, of Kaname's lazy summer days with Sousuke fighting tooth and nail to survive the hellish return to his former homeland.
Fun fact: Helmajistan is actually Afghanistan. They changed the name in the dub because the show came on around the same time the US was actually invading Afghanistan. Which is also interesting because the US-Soviet-Afghanistan conflict is a major historical moment in FMP, so America invading Afghanistan again is kinda ironic in that sense. But the point is they changed it to Helmajistan because the arc
and that would've been REALLY, REALLY close to home back when this aired.

I got your back!
Yeah but you liked ICE.
Tessa is at worst second for me. Which is why I think I'm not one begging for more FMP given what i'd heard of the rest of the story.

Although I've seen plenty in the last few years, I don't know if I could genuinely fill out a top ten based on what I watched, unless you sort of include shows that people would consider "guilty pleasures" or otherwise average.
In no particular order except #1 and #2.

Can appreciate Monster Girl Quest but not Strike Witches? SMH all up everywhere.
Flowers of Evil 2
The animation in this is still really ugly. I think part of the problem is that the cost-cutting techniques anime likes to use don't work as well with rotoscoping; it's not an ideal technique to mix with limited animation. I mean there were a couple of times I thought the video froze because they just held a single frame of animation for a few seconds before everyone started moving again. It's such a contrast to the beautiful background art.
Kasuga is probable the worst criminal of all time. Legit shook by everything. Nagahama is very skilled at portraying the subjective mood of a pretentious teenager who views his normal town as an unenlightened hell.
I hate the ending song.
