Tonari no Seki-kun 8-10

Fucking shogi ass battles, still having my fill of them.

I don't think you're suppose to resonate with a cactus though

Finally, that other girl appeared. I was waiting for her to show up to give a spin on what Seki and Yokoi do during class. She's clearly dirty minded.

Honestly just google the definition. But an otaku for me is someone who is really into manga and anime culture to the point it almost dominates their life. They are obsessive over it, basically a hardcore geek for anime. More specifically (again for my definition), otakus tend to be the type who embrace anime and its more popular tropes/genres with open arms. Stuff like harems, gary stu syndrome, waifus, moe, cute girls doing nothing in school, etc...

That latter part I don't agree with. Really I don't see otaku as anything more than the Japanese version of a pop culture geek. Though some western pop culture geeks whose area of interest includes Japanese pop culture sometimes self identify as otaku as well.

I suppose I could say I am one, though my pop culture interests are wider than probably is typical for otaku. Of course that's probably true of most western otaku.

That's basically what i think, word for word.

I.... can work with this list.

Seems like others really think you secretly like K-On. Don't worry, I am on your side seeing as you have an avatar of one of my favorite characters this season.
There are records of his K-ON tsun. Joke character shit.

Also Hito don't you even dare.
Read that as do you even dere and laughed pretty hard.

i haven't seen much on that list but Nichijou should be higher. also i agree fuck k-on
Bad taste.

Already work for hire shit? RIP.
Someone's gotta pay for the lights.

Putting a Gonzo anime in a Kyoani list? That's harsh.



I want to believe that this will turn into goofy KLK ep 4-esque slapstick and be hilarious and fun (didn't they make this random animated PV for some haremy light novel or something that seemed ridiculous and amusing?) but I know I'm totally deluding myself.

you're going to get chuu2 with more fanservice and HAREM ACTION

i guarantee it

Eheheheheh well that was a little unexpected.

I expect I'll enjoy it though.

And what would be the best KyoAni has ever made?

Kanon

FMP The Second Raid


Well now I kind of wish Trigger were doing an actual adaptation of this instead.


Heartcatch Precure! 35

Episode of preparations for school festival! This episode gets my official seal of approval on account of containing large quantities of adorably flustered Erika. Help, I can't hold all these hnnnnnnggggs. Potpourri trying to "help" Itsuki out with her paperwork was...cute, too.

Meanwhile Cure Moonlight continues to demonstrate how stupidly OP she is by effortlessly soloing a powered-up Desatorian. You know, the kind that almost took out all three of the other Cures at once, and that they had to fuse all of their ultimate finishers together to defeat. Moonlight don't care. She annihilates this one with a basic Silver Forte Wave. That's not even her most powerful attack.

Don't those things go for like £80? That's a pretty generous SS, especially for a joke.

In some ways I'm glad since it means that I'm safe from also receiving one as a joke gift. Didn't stop someone sending me a hometown mousepad though.

Literally the only Kyoani shows I've seen to completion are Clannad and Clannad After Story.

Everything else I either haven't watched or saw in bits and pieces. I did watch about half of K-ON!'s first season and kind of forgot about it.

So if I had to rank my KyoAni shows I would have to do it by the ones I may or may not watch so:

Planning on Watching

Full Metal Panic (after I sit through Gonzo's version)

Kind of meh about watching. Might take a closer look out of interest. Might not.
K-ON! S2
Haruhi

Short Peace - Gambo

If you wanted to watch a polar bear and a japanese ogre in a bloody fight without barely any context, this is your chance!



In general, I don't think this collection of shorts was good enough to recommend to people.
 
avatar a live-action show?

if you're talking about ATLA, its focus is self-contained I think but it does an admirable job of constantly driving the plot forward episode to episode and tying itself back to previously self-contained episodes (s2 going back to Jet for instance and making him integral to the ongoing Ba Sing Se storyline, etc). Although part of that probably necessarily comes from them all being on a 'journey'
Oh shit, no no no no no. I meant to say: "see MY avatar, Psych". My bad :p

Haruhi stuff
 
I loved Haruhi at the time it came out, but I'm not really sure that the show has a huge amount of meaning if you're watching it in 2014 absent the context and experience that popped around the show when it first aired.I suspect that it may well be one of those 'you had to be there at the time' things.

I think I have a different sense of appreciation for Haruhi as I watched it for the first time last year an I watched it in chronological order instead of broadcast order. In all honesty it's probably the show I most enjoyed watching. Endless Eight is certainly a rough point, but Disappearance is God-tier.

I think the actual reason Haruhi loses something in retrospect is how it becomes obvious that the author had no direction for the series. Still, what we have animated, aside from endless eight, is a decent build up, even if there are many other similar series now.
