[KuwabaraTheMan]

GAF, I have come to ask you the most important question:

"Survival Strategy!" or "Yuri Approved!"

"Survival Strategy"

Especially because of Rock Over Japan, as well as the great visuals.

 

[MikeHattsu]

Was he banned because of waifu talk or bad taste?

Waifu talk wasn't allowed in that thread

 

[nintendoman58]

Enveloooooooope.

That wasn't a perm was it?

 

[Dedication Through Light]

DENKI-GAI Episode 1 – Love & Eros For All / The Nightmare Before Carnaval

First half was amazing especially the shop folks interactions with one another and just how silly it was with the guess the manga. Though some seemed incredibly good, if only they were real.

Second half was pretty weak and kind of sleep inducing. Hope ep2 is an improvement.

 

[fertygo]

Enveloooooooope.

That wasn't a perm was it?

Unless you defending KKK and other type of similar shit, its would really hard for non-junior to get a perma.

 

[BGBW]

KKK is the best! Screw you all for not watching it!

Chickdigger weeps.

Ban this sick filth.

 

[MikeHattsu]

Ban this sick filth.

But he's correct ;P

 

[Dedication Through Light]

Amagi Brilliant Park episode 1 and 2

Wished I hadnt miss this when it was airing. It is such an entertaining and fun show. Kanie is definitely in my list for best protagonists ever. I loved his scene in front of the store window checking himself out.

Looking forward to the park enhancements I hope.

 

[Nordicus]

Barakamon Episode 1

Handa is pretty great, really carries the anime. Baffled how the industry works though. He seriously gets to remain in the industry after punching the guy at the showing? Well thats good that everyone gets a second chance.

How on earth did it take you this long to start Barakamon?

Please, if I like it it's only becasue it feels llike the Sword Art Online you would have written, ~chu.

And I thought Steve Alten's Resurrection was insultingly bad.

Excuse me as I go wipe this red stuff dripping from my ears

 

[firehawk12]

Damn I can't believe Envelope got stamped out. Waifu wars are dangerous.

Also so happy theres a new Aria anime. Hope its a series and not an OVA. Also Athena

I hope they find a way to celebrate her via the character, but I wonder how. I guess with Persona 4 Golden, they just reused voice recordings from the actor who did Igor, so maybe they could do that?

The first episode is a fair representation of the series in general trends - like how the humor, although touching a bit on the whole "male magical girls" doesn't focus on that, but rather other matters. However, the first episode's humor mostly focused on talk about Japanese food, and that's definitely not a recurring focus of the show. Watch at least the 2nd episode, which goes for something else and see if you find it funnier. If it doesn't work either, then, yeah, drop it.

Yeah, it doesn't really feel like it's doing anything with the fact that they are doing a magical girl show with guys that is specific to the gender swapped ideals anyway. They are using the specific beats of that kind of show, but it feels like it is played straight.

Please, if I like it it's only becasue it feels llike the Sword Art Online you would have written, ~chu.

I hope Tom Brady beats your favourite team next year!

KKK is the best! Screw you all for not watching it!

This is the community that thinks Nozaki is better than Sabagebu. They just don't understand.

 

[Puruzi]

understand[/I].

Sabagebu season 2 when

 

[firehawk12]

Sabagebu season 2 when

In our dreams, probably!

 

[darkside31337]

Ping Pong, Space Dandy and Sabagebu were the only 3 anime I watched last year that I didn't actually finish.

And I only feel guilty about not finishing 2 of those!

 

[ThreePiMatt]

Nozaki is one of the funniest shows I've ever watched. Sagebu wasn't even all that good.

Here they come. lol

I'll do you one better. If you want to watch a show about girls playing with airsoft guns, don't watch Sagebu, watch C3bu instead.

 

[Theonik]

Preach

 

[BGBW]

Nozaki is one of the funniest shows I've ever watched. Sagebu wasn't even all that good.

I'm not going to say Sagebu is the funniest show on Earth, but if Nozaki is one of the funniest show you've seen, you need to watch more shows.

Like Gintama and WUGZoo.

 

[firehawk12]

This is the only good thing to come out of C3bu:

Spoilers for Spec Ops: The Line

Preach

Aww yeah.

 

[MikeHattsu]

Here they come. lol

Both D-Frag and Silver Spoon S2 was better than both those anyway ;P

 

[ThreePiMatt]

I'm not going to say Sagebu is the funniest show on Earth, but if Nozaki is one of the funniest show you've seen, you need to watch more shows.

I'll get to WUGZoo eventually, I dunno if I really want to get into such a long running show like Gintama.

 

[firehawk12]

Both D-Frag and Silver Spoon S2 was better than both those anyway ;P

I would say I prefer the Japaneseness of D-Frag over the character-trope comedy of Nozaki.

Silver Spoon ain't really a comedy though. (Now Nourin...! lol)

 

[ThreePiMatt]

D-Frag is a show that should have been better than it was. Mostly by getting rid of Kenji and making Roka the focus of the show.

 

[Dedication Through Light]

How on earth did it take you this long to start Barakamon?

Didnt look that appealing back then or even from what people were posting. Though since were watching it in anime club I will watch it now.

 

[Midonin]

Milky Holmes TD 05

I am a sucker for Alice in Wonderland motifs. They go well with the freewheeling craziness of the Milky Holmes girls. And having a new insert song in every episode is also winning me over. More music for the show means more music for me. Marine has to be close to getting all of her Elements back, and when that happens, I wonder what direction the show's going to go.

 

[firehawk12]

D-Frag is a show that should have been better than it was. Mostly by getting rid of Kenji and making Roka the focus of the show.

Let's not mix waifuism with comedy!

Yeah, no. It was great as it was.

This looks awesome but the anime looks crap.

My sentiments exactly. Packaging and artwork look beautiful, but I had a quick look at the trailer and it looks like ass.

 

[Blusby]

Not sure if it's been posted yet but God Eater is airing this summer: https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/ne...teaser-promo-summer-broadcast-unveiled/.84080

the western manga packaging is pretty ace too btw.

 

[javac]

the western manga packaging is pretty ace too btw.

Yup, I don't read manga but have often contemplated buying them just because they look awesome, then I remember that I'm not made of money and get sad.

 

[Dedication Through Light]

Parasyte ep 1 and 2

A bit too dark and mature for me. I always get really spooked by these type of series. Everytime the body parts transform and heads open makes me want to barf and such.

However, the action scenes are great. That one song that keeps playing is really amazing. I need the ost.

YES!!!

Welcome back, Sky Knights!

Hayate the Combat Cripple!

(Glad that joke finally makes sense.)

Fuck it, I'm crying.

Ooh, we do get an end-boss battle this time!

Spoiler

HER SWORD IS A FUCKING BOW!

...Kind of a one-sided battle, wasn't it? Still good.

What? D:

Maria the Virgin Witch 4

Ugh more "deep thoughts" about war and peace. Dropped.

Second half was pretty weak and kind of sleep inducing. Hope ep2 is an improvement.

Denki-gai gets better after the first episode. I almost dropped it, but I ended up enjoying the show quite a lot.

I still didn't like the shark loli, though.

 

[duckroll]

The Blood Blockade Battlefront character designs are getting better as they reveal more of the supporting cast. I'm not too hot on the main characters initially revealed, but I'm starting to dig the new ones.

http://kekkaisensen.com/character/index.html

Akio Otsuka as Blitz T Abrams:

Unsho Ishizuka as Patrick:

Mamoru Miyano as Dog Hummer:

Keiji Fujiwara as Deldro Brody:

Hikaru Midorikawa as Zed O'Brien:

 

[Reknoc]

I don't know what a Blood Blockade Battlefront is, but I'm willing to watch anything with character names like "Blitz T Abrams" or "Dog Hummer"

 

[Dedication Through Light]

Inou-Battle episode 1 - 2

Strong first episode weak second one. In any case of all the chuuni series definitely the one with the best leading protagonist. Such creative writing (though if only someone went with Jet Black (perhaps Saiki Kusuo will be animated someday [not a flash one]))

 

[hosannainexcelsis]

I don't know what a Blood Blockade Battlefront is, but I'm willing to watch anything with character names like "Blitz T Abrams" or "Dog Hummer"

Japanese "American" names are the best.

 

[Link Man]

Nanoha A's 13

A nice, bittersweet ending that ties up all loose ends. And a preview for the next series?

So yes, I had fun with this series, but I'd be lying if I said I enjoyed it all the way through. Except for the last few episodes of A's, the show felt a bit dull for me. But those last few episodes were amazing.

 

[Thick James]

as well as the all time greatest episode preview song

Shirobako episodes 1-5


Please tell me someone kills that stupid motherfucker. Please?

 

[NaDannMaGoGo]

HxH 1999

So ended up skimming through a bunch of episodes after all since Gon, Leorio and Kurapika were already established and nothing of interest happens from ep4-6.

Episode 07 does a much better job at fleshing out Leorio by providing much attention to his background story and motivation for becoming a Hunter. IIRC all that merely comes up in a conversation with Kurapika during the run in the 2011 version.

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

Gundam Build Fighters Try 17

Y'know I think Sekai, Shia and Gyanko would be a better main team then Sekai, Fumina and Yuuma.

Did they really need to show a 30 second recap of the Triplets fight last episode on a TV? That always bothers me, you're saying that what was shown on TV was the same as what we saw? Those cameramen must be extremely competent.

Did the triplets cheat to get the haunted house map in there or did they just get lucky? Because it seems like if they got a Space or wide open stage their tactics wouldn't work for shit. Not a really great episode but I gotta say having your gunpla turn into King Ghidorah is pretty dope tho

---------------------------

GAF, I have come to ask you the most important question:

"Survival Strategy!" or "Yuri Approved!"

Kuma Shock! of course

Was he banned because of waifu talk or bad taste?

Shouta and Aeana really hate that stuff.
The bad taste, I mean.

Spoiler

People play Persona for other reasons? Certainly not for the dungeon crawling!

Woah I just noticed EatChildren got demodded how did that happen? Didn't he get unbanned then immediately become a mod in the first place?
