To be fair, I don't think I've ever seen Basileus post anything that was 100% positive or not qualified with a backhanded "but". You'll never see him type the words excellent or amazing or fantastic. That's why everybody loves him question mark?

Speaking of qualified and backhanded....


Though this isn't really accurate, even if it is easier to post negative things, I don't always do it.

Finished Genshiken Season 2+OVA
It was OK but different than first season. Not as good bvut still good. Shame
Ogiue and Sasahara
didn't get together in the end.
Genshiken Nidaime though. What is this?? Totally different. Different style. Different voice actors. Different mood. Even the characters behave different. I don't like it. Probably won't watch it.
 
While we're on the subject of mecha, here's a cowboy robot riding a horse.



It's called the TEXAS MACK. This is a robot that DUAL WEILDS PISTOLS and SHOOTS SATELLITES OUT OF THE SKY WITH A GIANT SNIPER RIFLE.



I should also point out that its pilot is named TEXAS JACK.



This stuff right here folks? This is an example of good mecha.

Its a continuation. And yeah...took me a while to get used to different voice actors for characters. I enjoyed it though.

Love Live! School Idol Project - Ep. 1-3
It's starts with a character I know nothing about getting sad because her school, I also know nothing about , is getting closed.
That's a pretty bad way to start a show like this. Shouldn't the anime establish the protaganist and the school before bringing this up?
Honoka is a fine main character, but the anime never gave me a reason to give a damn about the school itself, which is kind of a big deal.
In fact, the other school looks way better. No wonder everyone wants to go there.

The next big problem is that it seems that neither of the main group has any experience with dancing or singing, yet after a short time they are pretty good at it.
Then again, it looks like the can only perform 1 song.

Finally there are a few thing that just pretty random, like the 1 girl with fortune telling powers.

Cardcaptor Sakura - Ep. 1

Pretty typical magical girl starting episode, but it was fun nontheless.

Osomatsu-san end
Kinda dissapointed that Osomatsu-san didn't stick with previous episode, instead becoming one insane parody of battlefield baseball. Well, at least this show goes out with a bang.
 
[Ace of Diamond S2] - 51 END

I'll miss Sawamura & company. ;___;
I like what they did at the end with Ochiai, he became an assistant coach and he needed the job because he has a family to take care. Even if you didn't like him, he helped the team too, he did teach both Sawamura and Furuya breaking balls, gave pointers for improvement to the pitchers, suggested a better training menu for some players.
But in the end I still don't see how Sawamura is going to be the ace without Furuya hurting himself or something.

Shirayuki-hime: 24

A sweet ending to close out the show, this second half was a pretty good continuation of the first and has some nice developments all around.

haha i don't blame you for being wary of Nidaime. It is quite a departure from the original series.

Light spoiler in case you want to know
Sasahara and Ogiue do get together. Madarame and Kasukabe's relationship is finally addressed.

Rergardijng Basquash, I saw the first episode, also in our weekly stream during season gap. I had no idea what to expect and laughed my ass off half the episode. It's just totally nuts. I definitly have to finish that someday.

Maturity, bitches.
Dagashi Kashi was good enough to be mentioned in the anime OT subtitle.

Same can't be said of Erased.

Osomatsu End

That troll follow-up of the last episode. Lost my shit so many times this episode, especially Karamatsu throwing off the weighted jacket.

Snow White with the Red Hair - Episode 21-22

Really liked these two episodes. It's nice to have some background info on Obi and Kiki. Feels like they're trying to flesh out the supporting characters before the end of the series. 22 was especially good and I really liked the direction. Turns out it was storyboarded by Kotomi Deai. <3

The end of the episode was a real surprise. Great art there too. Mmmm.

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders 25

Not feeling this new opening but the ending is nice. And wasn't expecting a dog to join the group.
 
Its my own view admittedly but does no one else kind of see the series as two kids that have a crush one another?

The guy always trying to get the girls attention by any means and her unable to take her eyes off him? Maybe its just me that sees it that way.

Goto also sees it that way ;p

Does he really need to become the Ace? Furuya and him are both inconsistent at times so its probably best for them to kind of share the title.

Yeah, that was great. Completely forgot about it.
Yeah, that's it. The couple and the antagonism/love they had for each other was fun to watch.

Woah ted don't lump Genshiken in with otaku type shows now. It has multiple romances that progress throughout the show and all have actual payoffs. Pls the show is really funny.

And sure the characters are otakus but they're a far cry from how that group is depicted in anime now. Yeah they are a bit shy or awkward but they're aren't completely socially inept and they're self-aware and mature enough enough to not let their hobbies define them.(Thats what all of season 2 is about)
I see Genshiken more as a "get a job and leave your otaku life behind once you graduate from college" show than one focused on the romances. Nidaime is probably more of a romcom, except that they turned it into a Madarame-led harem. lol

I think the difference between the depiction of being a nerd just stems from them being college students though. The fact that they can drink and openly admit to buying and fapping to comic book porn changes the dynamics of how what you can do with a nerd group.

Uh... Yes.
it's in the title.
plus it's not like they will always be on the same team.
Series 6 should have them being drafted into japanese pro ball where they will face off as opposing pitchers in the playoffs :p

it would be like if Major ended before he reached the Majors :p

I want to make a bit of an effortpost. What do you guys use to grab screenshots and resize/host them appropriately? I'm probably going to be grabbing screens off crunchy.

I just use ShareX which allows me to snap a screen shot and instantly upload them to imgur.
as for resizing them, quotes work wonders on this site :p (though from what that wiki page says it's possible to edit images in it as well lol)

PrtScrn and Dropbox automatically saves them in a folder, so I just drag and drop the ones I want on imgur. I never bothered resizing them for posting in GAF, as the quotes feature does a good job.
