The problem is, Pash and other magazines don't have any dedicated people scanning it, just random reuploads to minitokyo and the quality often blows (weird colors, didn't bother too debind, shit scanner, etc.). I think I already posted some in this thread though.
Yeah its quite fun. Sleepy Kate is up there with the cutest things in existence.
I honestly have no idea what to make of this. Was Up On Poppy Hill a substantial improvement over Tales Of Earth zzzzzzzz? I just cant decide.
Nanoha is slow to start. Watching A's will give you a better idea right away.

Suddenly depressed by this thought process.
I have them pretty close so I'm cool with this.
Unfortunately, that's all they talk about.
To be clear, I enjoyed Madoka a great deal, but I saw many people declare it "revolutionary" when that's just not the case at all. I'm also making a finer point than you're describing there, but much of it rests on the details of a story many people aren't familiar with and I'd rather not waste my time shouting into spoiler tags.
I had no real idea there was much if any hate. It seemed just ignored aside from those of us who love it.
Fair enough, I'll concede the point. Just pointing out that not being completely original isn't really a point against it, although it seems like that wasn't your implication in the first place.
I do love the hand-wringing and gnashing of teeth over the whole "Deconstruction" deal though, that still hasn't gotten old three years later.

I don't what is more perfect of this pic, dat ass or the face of Kodai.
Not that my noob opinion is worth much but it makes me happy to participate. It will be quite standard votes for what I have seen, I just have to decide the order.

In a more serious note, loving this, sadly I won't be able to complete it before the AOTY voting, but I think I will vote it anyway.

Oh yes yes yes that confrontation was amazing. So full of all the emotions. Banri and Kouko really are the best couple in anime history.
I was initially very unimpressed by the dad thanks to the massive slap - nothing deserves that - but it's impressive that he nonetheless managed to overturn that awful first impression and win me over by the end of the episode. What a classy guy XD

Preach!
More waifus dropped by drop. If anything is too lewd, just lemme know, or if you want me to stop posting the crap. Here's Sekai Seifuku and Chu2koi out of the new batch
Best pairing.
Some people got upset over the use of the word, I'm upset that it betrays a lack of understanding of the subject matter. People assume certain things for magical girl shows to which Madoka is responding to, and in a rather dismissive fashion.
Don't worry, you are not alone. Hyouka is a total borefest.
Bwahaha, that's how I feel about her so far.
What I've seen so far:
1)All encounters with wild animals enter this weird, monochromatic nightmare mode. Like not just the Rhino or the Gator, but the frickin' cranes.
2)When they say that Africa is full of black people they mean it in the most literal way possible. Mormon friendly drinking game for Kenya: every time I see a nonracist caricature of a black person, I'll take a shot.
3)Inexplicable giant frog.
Like I said, I'll check it out till this festival arc and see how I feel from there.
I honestly don't really find any of the girls in the show attractive. Because, as I said earlier, if there is one thing about Hyouka I will say I actually do hate, it is the character designs. Absolutely abhor them.
I have a hard time seeing a means of describing Mayaka that cannot be summed up as "bitch." It's like everyone at the table has 1 character trait and Mayaka's is "to be as bitchy about everything as possible."
I actually felt that way after the first episode and I think, the 8th, but the rest of the show I found infinitely more entertaining than any part of Hyouka thus far.

Why can't I hold all these hnnnnngs?!
Cute and totally predictable but I liked it so much I don't care. Great execution can make even the most predictable plots enjoyable to watch.

Deeper, go deeper.
I can only watch so much of a List show at a time before my head begins to hurt.
Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha Episode 3:
Fucking hell I think this series just stretched the credibility of the proceedings beyond reason.
I get what the episode is trying to accomplish
Still, i hate it when emotional resonance comes at the cost of willing suspension of disbelief.
All and all, this was as impressive as a lesser monster of the week episode from Sailor Moon.
Fucking hell I think this series just stretched the credibility of the proceedings beyond reason.
NOBODY noticed the giant plant that appears to have done significant amounts of property damage to the entire city????
in that this is all about Nanoha making a mistake and dealing with the consequences. of that mistake
Also, dear god but this series is blowing through its mcguffins in a hurry.
Break out the advil then, because Kenya Boy isn't nearly done.
This is oddly suggestive.
Tons of people wait until the last couple days, if the GOTY thread is anything to go by.
Yeah, to be fair, I do get a kick out of characters firing blasts at each other, and Nanoha has that.

Keep up with the pictures. much appreciated

This episode was so much gif worthy
First the drama is gone , as expected they actually toned it down enough to still have bits of comedy .
Next week we're back on full comedy.
Second , the characters are awesome as expected.The episode had a display of reaction moments quite impressive.
And then the plot tickens , they aren't even trying to hide "that" familly secret but i must say that the forshadowing is pretty much well done.
So much internal conflict here in this scene , magnificent !
Overall , this was a good episode and a great show overall ..too much things to comment on actually , but most would be spoilers.
Kannagi - it was kind of alright I guess. Or at least it didn't drive me away. I at least liked the idea of dealing with a deity losing their power/memories due to not being worshipped, etc. Would have liked some more answers though...like what is up with Shino. And would have liked the show to have done something with Zange's host.
Haha, indeed, but at this point it's Clint Eastwood berating an empty chair.

Nagi no Asukara (Nagi-Asu: A Lull in the Sea) Episode 17
I wonder if its daring enough to have something bad have happened to Shishishio as wel as
.
At least for what is animated, I hope it really goes a Miuna Hikari, Kaname Sayu route.

Are you me? These first impressions are sounding a lot like mine.
There's a Christmas Tree of Might joke in this episode somewhere...
Pretty much this. That's one of the reasons why I liked Nanoha. Things go all out pretty quickly after Fate shows up.

How does Mai Otome compare to My Hime? Enjoyed that one a lot. It was definitely quite dark but somehow Madoka went even darker on a thematic level. My hime up till the end was pretty increasingly bleak.
Madoka is hardly the first mahou shoujo to explore darkness. Sailor Moon at times was EXTREMELY dark. Im not sure what about Madoka made it such a massive hit actually.
Eh. At least KLK's isn't painfully obvious. Attack on Titan elevated avoiding animating to a religion.
And it could always be like CGI Mecha where the goal is to look as hideous as a computer can make it.
KLK intentionally avoids doing so - they knew their budget and this is what we get (and why I don't really mind it, in the end). Titan's production was just rushed and a total clusterfuck.

DTL, when you're not busy pairing men with other men, you may have good taste in pairings.
The only real question when it comes to the best pairings in this show is whether Manaka or Chisaki should get Tsumugu. Logic would dictate Manaka, since she's best girl material and deserves to get the guy she likes, whilst Chisaki is worst girl and thus the most appropriate to be left all alone. However, Chisaki and Tsumugu do seem to have more chemistry lately than Manaka and Tsumugu ever had, plus that pairing would help keep Kaname away from worst girl so that the important pairings can happen.
Love polygons, how do they work?
You really need to see more Nanoha as you havent really seen the show at strength.
Hmm. Possibly.
This is pretty inevitable. People only know what theyre used to. To them Sailor Moon is the new thing.

Magical warfare - 04
A magical school and no protection for entry or escape ?
I guess you could argue that everyone know how dangerous the place is , but still.
Still it must be the first time i've seen a childhood friend get friendzonned at this rate. heck at least she got decent protection and healing for now.
