Hell no. There is SO MUCH ugly shit out there that I doubt Samurai Flamenco would even be in the top 100.

Isn't the anime just a straight adaptation of the manga so far though? At least as far as I've heard. I guess that must mean the manga actually regressed in progress from the start, which wouldn't surprise me about Nisekoi.

I'm saying the pacing in the beginning of the manga was very good, and then it pretty much came to a standstill with fake outs and plot points that lead nowhere. Maybe Komi was just expecting Nisekoi to get cancelled like his other (better) series.

[World Conquest Thing] - 5
This show is still pretty weird, and pretty silly, and pretty fun. A refreshingly competent production all around.
However, I would like it a lot better if it wasn't pandering to serious creepers. What I'm referring to, of course, all the scenes featuring a little girl in skimpy clothing which apprently exist solely to appeal to otaku who want to feast there eyes on that kind of thing. At the very least (and this wouldn't make me feel any better) there could be an in universe explanation of it (ala Kill la Kill) but there really isn't one. That makes me rather uncomfortable.

Future Card BuddyFight! - Episode 6 [Eng Dub]
So from one end of the spectrum to the other, I watch another episode of BuddyFight!
This week's episode was probably the best of the episodes so far although I'm still not fond of it. That banana hair guy still gets on my nerves with all his 'yo yo' every five seconds and I feel like he's just there for comedy relief now (a real second banana!).
The battles were a bit eh. With

Oh well at least they said Buddy less this week!
Buddy Count: 33
Total Buddy Count: 295

Banana Man being completely thrashed by Wolfie
Wolfie being beaten in one turn to Gao. Not sure why he felt so bad about winning though seeing as he's unbeaten so far this series!

Positioning of shots notwithstanding, I always felt that a lot of it always boils down to the amount of and timing/pacing of the cuts. There's a certain rhythm that nobody else has really reproduced when it comes to that, and I really like it.
Oh yeah, definitely. Like the other two I did before.
And 16 bloody Accel World novels. Guy is a machine.
So did anyone read the web version of this new thing? another virtual world thing?
Not while Speed Grapher exists.

Sure. It should be interesting to see what everyone's habits and tastes are like!
Hopefully Yami to Boushi to Hon no Tabibito is in that category too. Still can't believe that was made in 2003.

there's the one really weird animated anime that's like a romeo and juliet-esque story where the guy loves a monster chick. That one was pretty ugly. But fluid I guess.

Zero No Tsukaima pulls one of the biggest 180's in anime history when it made me shed manly tears then get pissed off by the way they resolved it all non-chalant like 5 seconds later.

Well the show pretty much came to my attention through Louise so I doubt I'll disagree!
I just did a double-take at the avatar.
Tokyo Ravens 16-17
Harutora level up! It's nice to see that he's able to fight on a similar level as his peers now (or maybe even on a higher level). At first I was like everyone else in enjoying the school life aspect way more than the combat aspect, but I think the increased cast size really helps make the combat way more interesting. I wonder how Harutora and everyone else will regain their main character status by the end of the show. As always, the production values of the show are pretty poor, but I'm pretty interested in seeing how the different factions and characters play out so I enjoy it overall.
Hunter X Hunter 115
It's really tense and all, but waiting week-to-week for this is really starting to grate. I almost want to put HxH on hold and watch it all in one go once the arc finishes. :<
Lol, time to continue my action anime streak with Log Horizon. I kinda want to watch World Conquest next, but apparently this episode of Log Horizon is really good.

That'd look hilariously awkward if the survey is what I'm imagining haha
1. How do you go about viewing anime for your own personal pleasure?
2. How would you say the anime industry needs to improve in order to bring in a wider audience?
3. In terms of finding the balance of animation skill, voice actor selection and story quality which would you classify as the best studio?
4. Should the anime industry cater to the otaku crowd by pandering to their high school and loli loving qualities?
5. Who is your favorite waifu?

Samurai Flamenco 16
Even if it's handled kind of awkwardly, I appreciate that this show knows enough to pull back from the crazy now and then and do a more down-to-earth episode. But man, I wish we'd seen more of Mari's good side so we'd know why herlovers bandmates friends lovers were so devoted to her. She mostly just comes off kind of bonkers.
Next episode:

I can't give a flying fuck about Mari, but the other two bandmates are pretty cool
Moe is sort of bizarre, but at least we have... the other one, whatever her name is, to punch out Mari when it's necessary.
Log Horizon 19
So good. I was so caught in the episode's pacing that I forgot I had already reached the midpoint of the episode by the time it was over. dat Minori. dat Rudy. I only thought he was okay until the big reveal at the end, but now I think he's awesome.
I felt like I was holding my breath the entire episode lol. Can it be next week already? ;_;

Him being a Person of the Land really puts his personality and actions into context and that made me appreciate him a lot more.

This show is much too dangerious. still this was a pretty good episode. And damn is Два stupid. And he was so close in figuring it out too.

Happiness Charge Milky Holmes 02
Better to have the falling out earlier rather than later, I guess. The detective moment definitely brought back some memories of Milky Holmes (though Sherlock was never that competent), and the way handholding is so important for these two just really makes the yuri goggles go wild. Add that to the fact that next week's episode is all about Megumi trying to keep a secret from Seiji. That she's a Precure and, at least according to the goggles' reading, that she has a girlfriend. I love how physical the attacks this year. They may be made of magic energy, but with names like "Heart Destruction", they sound much less purifying and more like they're going to leave the enemy in pain.
Yuuko continues to be super cute. Going to love when she becomes a Cure. And I can't wait for Megumi to pull out her Samurai Flamenco powers in a week or two.
Glad to see Nozomi once again.

HappinessCharge Precure 2
Well, the Precure's that are represented at the beginning are actually random, as Cure Dream is this week's Cure
Cure Princess activated Cure Joestar! FUCK YEAH! And Gratuitious handholding with some blush at the end.
These... clothing cards apparently have more usage than you'd think. They have superfuckingpowers. There was some plot that I need to rewatch for, and Yuuko got some screen time as well. Any moment, Honey will appear to Shiawase the fuck out of people.
Anywho, a little more serious, what with Cure Princess "Jostarring" around, but I think the whole Form change could come around in episode 4, if only because the Flamenco dress was obtained at the end. Also, I think Punching a finisher is the new thing if Hime has shown us anything
Next time, Seiji actually doing something
Perhaps Hime believes in cooties with boys around her own age.

We shall see.
Well, I know what show I'm watching next lol.
By the way, just watched Happiness Charge Precure 1. Is it just me or did it feel weird that they would have these quick cuts of animation that would immediately change into the next scene? The pacing was very quick in general, but there were a few cut-to-cut transitions that felt really awkward to me.

Kuroko's Basketball - Episode 43
What a great episode. In terms of Kagami's development as a player and as way of proving Tetsu's Basketball is viable to Aomine. When I began watching this show I felt a little disappointed after having finished shows such as Initial D and Prince of Tennis which made me choke up a little at times with how awesome/ridiculous the events happening were. It hasn't been until the last few episodes, this one specifically, that I've felt anything near what the aforementioned shows produced. I'm happy and it was a good ending and overcoming Aomine was a big goal for Kagami so it looks as if the team is set to conquer the final member of the Generation of Miracles. That's how I feel anyway.

The most exciting part of the episode for me was the bit where
Lovely and Princess both used non-stock special attacks that are completely new. The ones last episode, we knew the names of already; I was expecting Lovely to bust out Punching Punch and Hime to use Bakudan Bomber, but they exceeded my expectations wonderfully.
Hime ripping off Fortune's finisher quote and punch is just because that's how all of them are going to be, or if it's actually smart. She's literally making things up as she goes, so if they acknowledge her as being inspired by Fortune, who often saves her, I'd give Toei some props. Kinda doubting it though.
The cuts seemed pretty good. It was exciting and had energy to the pacing. Maybe it was faster than you prefer? Seemed no different from other kids anime oc this sort.
