They had to bow to market realities and made the first Kanon porn. Then when they hit it big, they stripped out all the porn from all their games thereafter.
Oranges are tomatoes, sausages are repressed homoerotic lust, owls are fuck i don't know.

How dare you laugh at probably the saddest part of that episode. :,)
I know that but these are all animes that Key was involved in some way or another. I didn't like Angel Beats in the first episode and dropped it. After a few months I came around and decided to watch until episode 3 and my opinion spun around pretty quickly. It's actually one of my favorites. Little Busters is just freakin confusing until the last like 6 episodes of Refrain. Not as emotional as Angel Beats or Clannad After Story but damn if I don't like those characters.
Actually I know it's not popular but after finishing After Story I do like Nagisa the most. Had I not watched After Story than yes Kyou and Tomoyo are the best.
I believe the Angel Beats VN is not like that in that there is no sex scenes or that sort of lewdness happening. It's like the Clannad VN before they added in those types of scenes.
But to each his own. I love Angel Beats.
. So yeah, this might be it lol.Don't you even.
I trust Nagahama vastly more than Munehisa Sakai and I haven't even seen Mushishi S1.
I was so wrong about Hyouka.
So let's all come to an agreement regarding Hyouka:
is better than
What if it's rotoscoped?
It's not even porn! They're just gonna go halfway with it because "all-ages"
Also we still have KEYFACES!@(OUEO(* galore and oh god it's 2014 for crying out loud why is your art still soooo uggggllllyyyyyyyyyyyy
I'm failing to see the problem.
Weren't you saying that he was Toei's best director or something?
I'm trying to envision how this works with Umakoshi character designs and it's strange and disturbing.
And if that's right, I don't want to be right.
You may now bow for 3 seconds in apology to me.
See I wasn't really that enthused by the characters.
Personally I liked Kanon more than Little Busters and what I saw of Angel Beats. And even there it was only one arc that i really liked.

I have never been disappointed by something that I myself was hyped about. Only stuff other people tried to get me hyped about.
I have been pleasantly surprised though. Steins;Gate and Kaiji come to mind.

Consider it done.

Looking back I should have bailed out here.
But then I really enjoyed Eureka's return, so eh.
They don't?! I take great joy in pouring over the OP. Especially if the OP took time to write something about each title.

Yeah I didn't like the characters at first either because I felt they were uninspired. But JC did something where I was slightly interested in what was going on. The characters grew on me from there. Especially the outgoing ones. Not my favorite Key inspired anime either but I was satisfied by the end and grew to like each character and their quirks.
I am in the same boat. Kanon is actually one of my least liked of the Key animes.
My problem with Angel Beats was I thought it was a completely serious drama. Once I realized it was Action/Comedy/SoL, I loved it. You should give it another go. If it doesn't pull you in by episode 4 you can drop it.
That's the saddest part. There's a lot of potential for comedy with school hijinks when nobody can really die but most of it is wasted.
Even with all the other stupid things that happened in that show, the real point of no return was the Quartz Gun. There was no way to recover from that.

I found the Hinata/Naoi, Hinata/Yuri and Hinata/Yui banter amusing to say the least. Basically anything with characters messing with Hinata.
Actually question. For those that "hate" Angel Beats, did you watch it subbed or dubbed?
2nd best (Rie Matsumoto ofc), but while he has talent, he doesn't have much experience and has a better track record as an episode director than a series director. The fact that he was chosen to do this at all is a huge vote of confidence in his abilities, but ultimately the truth is that he's still just a guy who did three really good episodes of Smile Precure so he's not remotely in the same league as Satou/Ikuhara/Igarashi.

Un-Go: Complete
It started out strong, fizzled a bit near the end, as every anime it needed to add an
and it ended on a good if not extremely vague note. I was entertained, the main character didn't have much of a personality besides serious detective. But I guess that ended up working in his favor? I don't know I enjoyed him. The main antagonist to him, who worked a bit like his Mycroft, was very interesting too. There was a bit of a romance mixed in with all of this as well, though nothing really developed from it besides a hint here and there. Shame it could have added some spice to it.
I'm not interested in the backstory enough to watch episode 0, but I'd still recommend the show for everybody who wants to watch a solid BONES show. I know I've said it multiple times but the ED for this show was AMAZING. AMAAAAAAAAAAZING. If that ED was a woman you have no idea what I'd be willing to do to her. Like take her out to a nice dinner. Listen to her. Be interested in her life.
The weakness of the show was the supernatural element. I don't know what it is with sci-fi detective/noir shows and having to add a supernatural element. Speed Grapher AND this show would have been better without it.

I'm just going to say that it's fine if you like it and I'm not going to hold it against you or anything, if you're worried about that that is.
I watched it subbed.
The OP track is really outstanding too. One of my favs from that season.

No I was just wondering because I always find that people who loved the show watched it dubbed while people who are impartial to it or dislike it watched it subbed. Trying to confirm the correlation.
I watched it dubbed. So...
I honestly don't care what people think. If we all thought and liked the same thing we wouldn't have all these diverse genres in all our entertainment. Just like how I like Kill la Kill but I don't believe it's as great as most like to make it out to be. Or how I actually hated Attack on Titan with the first episode (I came around to it though). Or even how I hated Soul Eater's end (that was a cop out). It doesn't matter. We all like different things and I don't mind being in the minority opinion of loving Angel Beats in AnimeGAF.
I watch it while its airing, frigging torturous..
Maeda jun need to realize abusing slapstick nonstop not gonna make good comedy.
Fair enough.
Subbed I think. And really it was mostly the premise that I had no interest in. Not that I hated it, I just found it uninteresting.

I know people told me to not watch this. But this show has tried its hardest to remind it's set in America I've been laughing so much. Also the first glimpse of the bad guys. MY GOD.
Underling: Sir we've received a message from an unknown race in an unknown planet that wants to make contact with us.
Boss: Let's hurry up and destroy them. BECAUSE FUCK THEM THAT'S WHY
Then we're introduced to obviously sister-complex brother,
McDouchebag: HEY JOEY. STAY AWAY FROM MA SISTER YO YO!
Joey: Why? I fucking work for a living, have an easy going personality I'm obviously not trying to undress her with my eyes and I'm a genuine nice guy. WHY.
McDouchebag: BECAUSE FUCK YOU THAT'S WHY!
and giant hair crippled African American Spike.
I... I don't know what to say. It's like everything I've wanted and more. Please tell me a giant eagle with an american flag becomes his sidekick.
edit:
WHAT THE FUCK. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. AOTY.

I wouldn't call it all slapstick (some of the earlier episodes used some though). I was invested in the action, drama and plot though. The comedy was there to break up the pace every once in a while. I think the dub does the show more justice.
That's fair.
that's cool
if you like sao though i'll secretly look down on you though
well, maybe not secretly
So I noticed in that discussion that Branduil posted That Pic, which led me to wonder to myself exactly how many times he's posted That Pic over the past 2 years and change since he watched the show in question. I counted 15 times but I knew there had to be more because the time stamps didn't go far back enough, and indeed it was posted an additional 6 times under a different image host.
Assuming I didn't miss anything, that means there are 21 instances of That Pic from Brandy since October of 2011. Roughly a little less than 0.8 instances per month.
I just wanted to share this with all of you for some reason.

Holy fucking Christ. Manga is supposed to be better than Amerianga because DC and Marvel are afraid to end their books. I guess everyone is equally guilty of milking their audiences dry.
So wrong.
Its a long time since I thought that. After all we have things like One Piece 600 chapters in and how long is the whole Dragonball thing?
As for Sankarea...I don't actually think it will cycle like suggested I expect it to end badly way before then.

I liked the first season.
I am split on the second season. I hate the fairy/elf/flying crap.
I didn't like the dancing in circles crap at the end. All that said I am happy Asuna was saved.
That being said I love the abridged series so if anything I can appreciate it exists so I can laugh at this.
key, the highest form of anime
I have no idea what you're trying to imply here but to each his own.
I don't feel like making a thread but have you ever thought to yourself how much your life was lacking idols and zombies? Well, never fear, Bandai Namco has got just the solution for you.
...
I'll give you time to pick your jaw up from the floor. Ok? So its apparently a light gun game and "you" get to partner with one member and then go around shooting the other zombie-fied members. However (!!) when AKB48 music starts to play, the zombies start dancing and it err... turns into a rhythm game.
I... don't know what to say.
