It's just so goddamn generic and uninspired though. I'm well aware of bands such as Dying Fetus and whatnot (though I don't listen to them), but at least they went with a completely psychotic WTF name instead of just saying, "Fuck it." Though I guess naming your band Dying Fetus is kinda saying "Fuck it" in it's own way.
The second name from a real band sounds worse. Who wants to hear music from a dying fetus? Rather hear music from the Death Devil. On the other hand, have you heard the music from his brother the Life Devil? Not that great.
I was flicking through the upcoming iM@S merchandise (as I tend to do - god, so many Puchimasu CDs!), and apparently they're doing another one of those manga/cover CD bundles in March. This time they're covering the OPs/EDs from Kannagi and, of all things, the first season of YuruYuri.
It is amazing that animeGAF actually somehow gets dirtier when new people post. I'm gonna assume fatalpulse is some kind of trashy gore porn doujin I was better off never knowing about in the first place.
Speaking of Tamako Market, when will KyoAni ever break out from the highschool girl genre? They clearly can do more wonderful things in other genres given by their talents and also when will we ever see a animated kiss scene from them? I've never seen any kiss scene from every KyoAni show I watch.
And to finish, nice to see more people checking out YuruYuri. Shame I can't do the same with Mitsudomoe. Maybe Astro Fighter Sunred will be an easier job.
Anyway to continue our discussion from that other place before I get told off for going off topic, what chance do you think of Magi continuing after this season? Silver Spoon seems the only real legit title that could take over the slot...
I don't know man. It contains everyday experiences like going to school, library, or your afterschool club. They even have culture festivals, a pool episode, and traditional housing in which people (the main cast) sits down to eat snacks at and talk about said clubs and said culture festival.
I think I did rewatch it as a child, just to see if there was more to it than the snare scene which was what stuck out. Turned out there was.
I ended up catching When the Wind Blows when I was reasonably young as well, during one of Channel 4's Animation nights with Adam and Joe I believe. It was quite shocking then, even more so when I suddenly thought about it years later and found out it was buy The Snowman guy.

Lol. Speaking of going off topic, I remember once when I posted the full staff list for Nerawareta Gakuen, and the thread got derailed into a "Is Madhouse dead?!" discussion for an entire page. Good times! The poor mod had to move all the derailed posts into the existing "Is Madhouse dead?!" thread in General Discussions. Lololol.
I honestly dunno what's going on with Magi. It's pretty weird to have 10 volumes of DVD/BD to begin with, when a series is 24-26 episodes. We also have no idea how the series is actually going to sell, and it was definitely at least initially planned as a 2-cour show. I think it will probably be replaced in Spring, but by what... who knows.

Every single episode has a plot. A problem is presented that needs to be solved, and the characters actively work towards this goal. The notion that the term "slice of life" can be applied to any story that takes place within the confines of the world as we know it is absurd.
Precisely. Well, precisely excusing the typo. No indication as to which iM@S characters are on the CD, though. Probably whichever ones are most gay, I guess.

Well those were the days I had a small selection of films and of course films were rather rare of television so that's why I watched it a few times. Funny thing is my mother detests violence in films but this obviously passed her filter. I don't think I ever really thought anything of it since I was so young. I probably should rewatch it one of these days.

A story in any place can be slice of life. I was simply stating that a more realistic depiction of the world should not prompt people to brandish the term around.

I'll admit I was one of those people who dropped it after the first infamous episode. But this was 2006ish right so I hardly watched anime at all and it was only because it was a thing that that chan were going on about that I got curious.
Years later when I could say I had an active interest in anime I sat down and watched the whole show to find that it did indeed improve after that bloke got the boot.
Thank all those MADs I watched for making me see the light.
I don't know...I'm probably over-thinking it. Something just felt weird about being nearly 30 and watching an anime about middle school girls. Add the (admittedly very mild) yuri element into it and...ehh. Maybe it's less about the anime itself and more me just being aware that I'm getting older.

Adults watch South Park and that's about even younger children. It's just a setting. I mean the author is in his 20s so you can view it as appreciating the work of a similar aged peer.
