Are you seriously telling me it WOULDN'T result in a lawsuit? Also, the actual artist doesn't need to tell the lawyer to sue: the lawyers are usually operating on their own.

No no no no.
If you find a copy of Gundam 0083 you should break it in half, bake in the microwave and then toss it into a nuclear reactor.

Ahah, Incest surprise for Bellri... wait, what is this? Did they rewrite her character in the last 20 seconds or what?
Also Bellri seems to have taken this very well considering everything... only to change his character again in the last minute? Sure, why not.

Ah, yeah. The old sacrifice one to save everybody else problem.
Thankfully everything works out fine, the bald gets balder and the ending of the episode got me yet again. God damn it

Assassination Classroom Episode 2:
I feel like these kids and indeed this entire world is lacking in lateral thinking when it comes to killing the Koro Sensei. All of these loud and boisterous attempts at killing will get them nowhere and nobody seems to have any subtlety or grace in their arsenal. Nobody seems to be trying to poison him or grind the Anti-Koro balls into a fine power and dust the air or a paper with the substance. Another avenue unexplored seems to be a command of maths and physics in order to precision engineer a successful assassination attempt.

How would you rate Gintama so far?
Not strictly speaking true. If Oingo Boingo were used in connection with a category of goods covered by an Oingo Boingo trademark - for instance, media and entertainment services (covered by class 41 of most trademark registrations) - and there was a likelihood of confusion over its use, then the holders could sue.
Of course, this is entirely irrelevant, as a quick search of the USPTO reveals that Oingo Boingo is not a registered trademark and is therefore not actionable.

It's fun enough. Not the funniest show I've seen though. Good with some of the sad parts as well.

Man I can't wait till you get further in the show. I mean you haven't even reached the best arc yet.
So not only is a lawsuit improbable, but its also impossible in this case?
Seriously Crunchyroll.... Ok with this image my rant is over.

Longest on the list is Turn A.
You have:
6hrs for the 0079 movies
2hrs for 0080
4hrs for 08 MS
17(?)hrs for Turn A Gundam
8hrs GBF
not a lot of time at all!
Like I said: it costs nothing and incurs absolutely no risk to just change the names.So not only is a lawsuit improbable, but its also impossible in this case?

I wonder if I wouldn't prefer SatoJun's lesbian bears. lol
I feel bad for not finding a show that you guys seem to have found. But I just can't connect to the show on a meaningful level.
I just assumed this was real because someone here said it was. It's another reason why I compare the show to Genshiken, since this is very much a nerd show for nerds and only nerds would actually care about watching a show in the show become a reality.
If people don't defend trademarks, they lose them.

has anything decent from the new shows aired yet?
Death Parade Episode 2:
I am not sure if this episode was needed given
I am not sure if this episode was needed given
that it was basically episode one via the eyes of Nico Robin, Fucking hell, I will give her a name even if this show seems fit not to at this time. Still, things have been learned, like the function of Nico Robin, the background of the arbiters and the one known Nona whom seems to be in charge. Also, the ED is making much more sense now that we know that DuoDeceuim has a hobby of making mannequins or at least keeping them around. Calling it now Nico is one of those oversized dolls come to life in some fashion. Anyway, as neat as the new bits and the confirmation of what when down on the first episode were, a retread is a retread.

Well once you reach episode 30+ that's when the show kicks into high gear, it'd be hard to tell you what are the best episodes/arcs. I'd say that once you reach that point you gotta keep watching as it's consistently funny, and I'd argue there's no funnier anime I've watched outside of Detroit Metal City, but that's only like 12 episodes long and it's 10 minutes per episode.
for example the story of Jerry gets me everytime.

Death Parade - 02
The way they chose to explain the setting and the rules of this arbiter chamber with the use of a "new recruit" was a nice.
I think more of a quick explanation would've worked just as fine, instead of spending the majority of the episode on behind the scenes of the previous episode. And maybe get some screen time for the rest of the crew we see in the OP instead.
On one hand I'm glad they explained the meaning of reincarnation and the void, but at the same time I kinda wanted to be in the dark throughout and make us ponder each time.
I find it kinda hilarious that
and got told by this newbie. Also Miss Nona is awesome.

Hm... Not sure adding super-shy girl was a good idea...
But at least she seems to be less shy now, so hopefully it'll get better again.

Yoshiwara Arc, but others also say 4 Devas Arc is the best.

I think Gintama is funny, but it really does its best at working in dichotomies within arcs. How Srorachi shifts from slapstick manzai-esque humour to blood pumping heroic bloodshed in a split second is where the show really shines.
The first movie/major arc - Benizakura-hen (starting at 60 or so?) - is the real "aha" moment for when it all clicks.

So this is where the "Sonuvabitch"clip comes from.
The episode was buildup for the most part.
but otherwise the episode spends most of its time

Yeah, this type of episode felt really unnecessary. I hope they don't continue to spell every single thing out like this in the future.

Pretty much this, the way the series switches from comedy to drama so well is amazing. This is something most series can't do well.
awwwww shit
I havent heard anything from rightstuf for a while. I need to check up on that.

Hm... I dunno. The short arc I just watched now wasn't that funny. It did have that touching ending that I liked though.
*checks* ... Guess I got a lot more episodes to watch before getting to those, huh
Should I watch the episodes, the movie or both then?

Already tried before the anime began .
Pretty sure all conventionnals methods have been tried when he went in the UN meeting to tell the world leader that he was the one who blew up the moon. Especially when "he" told them of the anti-koro balls. If this episode is what i think it is .. it was more a way to show that a frontal assault is impossible...
Sentai filmworks ? i guess i can guess who i'll take the license in europe then.

It's what I sort of wanted out of Sket Dance, but I didn't really get the same feeling out of the show. Or One Piece, come to think of it. You'd think all the Luffy gomu gomu stuff would work well with the super serious stuff, but it doesn't quite work in the same way as what happens in Gintama.
The movie replaces the episodes and is for the most part an improvement, but I ended up watching both when I went through the series again anyway. But that's because I watched the whole thing out of order in the first place.
All praise Mashiro-sama!

Not every arc is going to be absolute gold, but it's arguably the most consistent comedy in anime as the highs are high as all hell, and the lows aren't terrible. Not to mention that for a show with 200+ episodes that's a huge feat as it never gets bad once you get past the initial 'introducing all of these characters' bump and characters start to get their personalities. Personally Gintama is the good Simpsons of anime for me, and it has the best supporting cast of side characters out of any other comedy I've watched (in anime).
As to the movie vs the episodes, once you reach the arc just watch the movie instead. Better animation as far as I'm aware. Plus it tells the same story.
@firehawk: forgive the question what's your avatar? First guess would be Raylan Givens from Justified but can't tell.

Don't get me wrong, I'm enjoying it enough to looking forward to watching all of it. Just saying that some episodes/arcs are not that funny to me.

Indeed! From the key art for S6. Coming January 20th on an television near you!
Oh did they do their Funimation podcast? Any other news?
I watched Benizakura-hen like 10 times. You could probably find my posts about it back in 2012 or whenever it was. lolHm.. Might just watch both. Doesn't add that much time to the watch in total.
(Funny enough, I think I must have watched the Four Devas arc at least 10-15 times now. Maybe more if you just count episode 213-214 rewatches.)

good man firehawk, your good taste is showing. Except for not liking Interstellar, you fuck.
All right gonna watch Death Parade. And also catch up with S5 of Justified since I missed it.

Nothing will ever come of Dennou Coil either. Unforgivable.
Kurisu is the best. Suzuha has to settle for second. Actually in my list she settles for fourth :3
It doesn't come across as a very marketable show to me.
