Winter 2014 Anime |OT| I've got to find a dandy guy who killed my dad in the space

All I know right now is that Samumenco has landed on the List in a single episode.

heh, I love Isshiki's poster next to the amazing work of art. Didn't spot that before.
I always have mixed feelings about people saying SamFlam is List material, because on the one hand it has all the correct WHAT IN THE ACTUAL FUCK-ness in spades, but on the other hand I feel it's too legit good to be surrounded by all those bad things.

You are like... animeGAF's bitch for watching anime. Almost all anime for that matter. I'm merely the one who gets submitted magical girl stuff. (thank god I'm on downtime right now).
MISSION SUCCEASEFULLY
Imagine how we felt watching it live!

Great little mini-arc with this and the last episode. Especially the finale of this one. Broke out both the badass and the feels with everyone coming to backup Gin.
To be fair, the impact was kind of spoiled by the fact that there were vague spoilers in the wild a couple weeks in advance if I recall correctly.
On the other hand, that just lulled us into a false sense of security where we thought we were prepared when we could NEVER BE PREPARED.

I feel any show that can make me feel anything (especially the emotions After Story invokes) is a powerful show. Considering how stoic I can be with a lot of things if a show or game can do that to me it's great in my book. That's why I like Angel Beats. It had a lot of moments that connected with me. Also Key's humor is great in all their shows.
I thought I knew what was coming, cnet! I THOUGHT I KNEW.
The List is all about finding the diamonds in the shit.
It's so true, haha. Mostly because 1) I really have a lot of free time right now and 2) I'm desperately searching for something to fill the hole that has been left by FMP, Gun/Diebuster and Monogatari.
All I know is I was laughing like a madman as soon as it happened.

Seemed like it was going to be a regular episode then it happened.
Next week I think we are going to get a new girl into the show.

Hakuya did this magical dash and the episode concluded about when should they tell Konbeni their family secret.
My guess they have the ability to transform into wolves.

Another neat episode
Because it focused on the flat chest , the stats are kinda weird
BSR in decline -72%
PSR in decline -22%
The stupidity of the whole thing is kinda managing to keep me over
i expected worse for a "date" episode , they kept it fairly good considering the material.
The maid café , was alright .
The lingerie shop was ...Well it wasn't disapointing given that it was fanservice heavy BUT
There! Hey let's bring a perverted guy in a lingerie shop , now i wonder what could happen .
Finally the fight was alright, i'm kinda annoyed that so far the guy "wake up" only when a defenseless girl is in need, i guess that's how you go for a harem route , but it's getting ridiculous.

Oddly enough, I think finishing Doremi and catching up with HxH just caused a massive hole for me... and I'm coping with it by not watching anime, but instead, focusing on the games.
Granted... it doesn't help that I was plowing through HxH first, then Aikatsu (lowest amount) and then Doremi, and finishing each show in close succession. At least it got me to the point where I just played and finished Wonderful 101.
Maybe HapCha will save the day.

The Pupa manga is good. The anime tries to cram entire chapters into 3 minutes, which doesn't really work for a serious series like this.

Kanon was the first Key anime I watched so that one is my favorite.
If you only watch Clannad and not After Story or After Story without watching Clannad first, then you're doing it wrong.
I got Angel Beats in my backlog. I should probably add Little Busters as well.
I've also seen Air. Though it was good, but not great. Not enough comedy and trying to cram too much story into 12 episodes IMO.
Next month my intake of all will likely decrease. Gotta churn out two literature reviews for scholarly papers I'm writing next month.

Hunter X Hunter will definitely fill that hole if you want a new long series to get into.
Seriously, you would love it.

I really dunno if shows in excess of 50 episodes are for me, haha.
You should watch Gintama with me. It's pretty great.
19 hours to go.
I can't wait to be entertained by the first several episodes
then have it promptly let me down like the last two series did

Oh I watched Clannad and After Story. I love them. I own them on Blu-Ray too. I just wanted to see what AnimeGAF thought of them and it's pretty positive which makes me happy. Wasn't sure what the greater GAF community thought of them until now.
Angel Beats is only 13 episodes but I think it balances itself well and doesn't get bogged down with side stories or filler which is why I like it so much. Every line and every scene serve a purpose to the story. Even the humorous parts which serve to have you grow attached to the characters. I've watched all Key animes dubbed and subbed and I have to say the dubs are done superbly. I actually prefer watching Angel Beats and the Clannad Series dubbed.
I didn't like Clannad very much (or rather, I liked the first quarter and the last quarter and found the middle half intensely boring), but I'm finally going to be starting After Story this weekend. Finally gonna see what everyone's crying about.

Neither did I. But then I watched Hunter X Hunter. It grabbed me and I just couldn't put it down.
If you plan on watching any fantasy adventure Shounen, Hunter X Hunter is certainly the best place to start. It feels like a journey that keeps going on and on and yet, you want to see it keep going to learn more about the world these characters live in.
It's certainly easier to get into than One Piece that's for sure.

Honestly I felt like this a little when I first watched Clannad. After Story brings it all together so you've done it right my friend. Man I wish I can experience After Story for the first time again. I hope you enjoy.
Edit: Sounds like from what you said your mostly invested in the Nagisa Arc. If so you'll really like After Story. It starts a bit slow but when it gets going it will pull you in. Hope your ready.

I'm not sure if you started yet, but you just reminded me that I'm considering starting this when my bandwidth limit resets.
I have some semblance of faith with
HIMELDA WINDOW CUREQUEEN OF THE BLUE SKY aka Cure Princess. Although considering the writer on board, I'm hoping this show manages to have character development on the scale of Yes! 5, since that was like the one thing Yes! 5 was better at than any of the other Precure series.
Then again, I did initially like Doki's characters, only for most of them to be ruined and/or disliked as the show goes on, so I guess I should still be worried. Fuck.
In any case
We have images of HappinessCharge Precure's enemies

You know, it's surprising how close to the truth Yosuke is at the beginning of the case.
What Yosuke misses, though, is the right conclusion after that. I mean, he even pegs
In his defense,
makes it kinda hard to figure out who the real killer is. That said, it's still impressive that Yosuke manages to figure out what he does.
You know, it's surprising how close to the truth Yosuke is at the beginning of the case.
Saki was linked to Ms. Yamano by virtue of being the one who found her body.
that the Amagi Inn is related to the crimes, since that's where the first victim was thrown in.
the fact that there are no less than two fake killers and three-to-four deities thrown in the middle
Yeah, I started watching it one-a-day with a friend at the beginning of the year. But you should watch it because it's really good! It's nice to fall into a rhythm with long shows like this, I'm gonna miss it when it's over.

Ah, yeah. That part about Clannad and After Story was me agreeing with you about thinking about both as a long story and not separating them.
I don't think I could watch Clannad dubbed. It would just remind me of School Rumble since it's the same voice actress doing the same kind of voice and I watched that first.
The return of canon fodder is great, in my opinion. Not to mention that the villians actually look rather nicely designed.
----------
I'm in a bit of an anime watching slump, partially because of Fallout, and partially because of computer monitor issues. Hopefully I can get back to speed this weekend, and maybe finish Date a Live next week. JoJo... I just hope I can finish that by the end of the season.

Never watched School Rumble so that might have been a blessing in disguise. Haha!

Maken-ki! - 05
This episode was not that entertaining , the childhood friend is in focus and some parts of the episode didn't work as expected.
A nice part of the episode did work properly , mainly the reveal of her weapon .
For a odd reason given the focus of the episode , the BSR is still in decline - 57%, but the PSR is getting up +16%
Maken-ki! is trully a weird anime to watch.
Anyway since we're doing each possible "candidate , now it's time for the fiance backstory next episode , i'm hopiing that we'll have a good explanation as of why this is such a mess of relationship is there..

Hehe. School Rumble is funny, so I would recommend people to watch it. Maybe best if you watch it in Japanese if you decide to though

How is Blast of Tempest? 2 eps in and I want to drop it cause I don't like the 2 leads.
Watch the Hoshi no Umi OVAs after ep 8.

hot, steaming, as melted butter slips into the cracks, drizzled with sticky sweet syrup OH GOD

I personally liked it. I think it appeals to a very specific audience though. Some of the things that happened in that show blew my mind in a good way. I found the fighting entertaining and the strategies and motives of all the characters was interesting. But if you don't like in within the next 5 episodes than I wouldn't feel bad if you dropped it. Like I said, I think it appeals to a specific audience.
Edit: Plus dat opening is awesome.
So that thread finally reached the point where someone posted that urban legend about a guy who only got to draw an old man in a classic anime and it made him a super animator.
I already watched them when they came out, I was just wondering about the chronology.

Why is getting people to watch Precure ridiculously easy? Like to the point that it's pretty passive?
i like it but it does get confusing if you don't pay attention to it.

Tomoki Kyoda (the director of Eureka 7) was talking to an unnamed effects director (probably Yasushi Muraki) about how after watching Gravity, their bar has been raised for how to handle mecha battles in space.
Let's see how this affects Captain Earth. Based Gravity. Based Cuarón.

Remember that (huge spoilers ahead so don't look if you haven't watched),
huge plot twist mid season when you found out who the Tree of Exodus' Mage was?! I was freaking out for a week because I actually didn't expect it. It completely caught me off guard and when I remembered all the hints the show gave I was like "how did I not figure this out sooner?" Lol.
In return for me watching FMP Corvys fate is to be decided soon.
