But I love my bro
We all do, Syrinx. We all do.
Wait, do you love my bro or your bro?
Bah. I really liked season 2 of amagami, probably as much as the first. Hell I'd take more if I could get it.

You didn't know your brother was going to be the star of the harem show based on a light novel based on AnimeGAF.
"My Brother Can't Possibly be this much of an Angel Beats fan"
There actually 30secs your off by 4min 30seconds.
Normal openings are 1min 30secs and ed are 1min 30secs.
One piece opening is 2min 30secs and no ed.
It couldn't be worse than the one that I wrote, "My Sister Can't Possibly Be This Shounenbro", that was abruptly canceled when she could only tolerate twenty-something episodes of Fairy Tail.
Its getting a 13 episode series animated by DEEN.

I guess she really couldn't possibly be that shounenbro.
Cool. What studio do you work with?
Will you still be saying that even after you find the Angel Beats pillow under his bed?
There's an unreleased prequel where she refuses to watch One Piece because of the character designs but that would have killed the series before it even began.
Your sister has good taste.
Watch something good instead.

Maoyuu Maou Yuusha 1
That was a somewhat interesting and ultimately decent introductory episode, but it was also surprisingly flawed and a bit monotonous, as this episode largely served to establish the setting and introduce the nuances within the economics, which was quite enjoyable, if not a bit mundane.
The economic principles and the history of their world have been fairly straightforward, but also relatively complex. As such, the heightened examination of the complexities surrounding economics was highly intriguing, but, so far, those informative conversations partially lack the compelling and enjoyable interactions that heavily contributed to the considerable effectiveness of those found in Spice and Wolf. Though the economics were consistently intriguing, the dialogue that accompanied them wasnt particularly subtle, which would have complemented the material in a more effective manner. However, assuming the character dynamics continue to develop in a satisfying manner, this aspect of the show definitely has the potential to improve.
The characters, though quite engaging, have yet to evolve towards a possession of any singularly substantial characterization; certainly none that would constitute considerable interest in their development, as they simply lack a depth that is typically necessary for stories of this nature. Of course, I do expect this slight flaw to be remedied as the narrative continues to develop. The touches of comedy throughout provided some of the best moments within the episode, since, for the most part, it illustrated a considerably balanced approach to storytelling, as humorous antics typically followed sequences of dramatic intent in a surprisingly effective and satisfying manner, rarely leaning too heavily in one particular direction. The scene with
was easily one of the best moments in the episode.
Hero and Demon Queens interactions are rather enjoyable so far, since they have pretty good chemistry, but those moments, and, in turn, their relationship will likely improve immensely as the story progresses, since their somewhat engaging dynamic will be partially elevated by a filtering of further complexities into both of their characterizations, particularly Hero, which I assume is inevitable. As such, I would have likely preferred a more methodical approach towards establishing

The direction was quite good, yet occasionally inconsistent, especially noticeable during the several highly ineffective sequences that involved an unnecessarily heavy usage of disconcerting camera rotations. The animation was pretty good, but quite unremarkable. The visuals were inconsistent in quality, but the background art, in particular, was quite impressive, often displaying a rather appealing aesthetic. The CGI, for the most part, was poorly implemented and needlessly distracting. Musically, this episode was surprisingly great, particularly the selection that was used throughout the opening sequence. Also, the musical selection that was filtered into
was fantastic. Even though it possessed rather simplistic visuals, the OP was quite good, especially due the accompanying musical selection. On the other hand, the ED, though not visually spectacular, was musically terrific.
All in all, Maoyuu Maou Yuusha is a moderately enjoyable and surprisingly interesting show, but the artificially constructed nature of the character dynamics, so far, have been detrimental to the relatively compelling narrative. However, I do expect this aspect of the show to greatly improve as the story progresses, since, thankfully, the show possesses considerable potential. The brief appearance of the

Damn. This was a really good episode, and this arc, for the most part, has simply been exceptional.
This episode was really well-paced, as it never really faltered in its ability to swiftly transition between intriguing or tense sequences. Surprisingly,

Season two was not terrible, but I preferred the original novels much more after watching the anime adaptation. Especially Endless Eight.
Also just got done pre-ordering A Certain Scientific Railgun manga and newly solicited anime. It is a shame this is DVD only just like Index is. Hopefully a Blu-ray will be available soon, if ever.

Pander enough, and anything will sell.
Screenplay written by a combo duo Mari Okada and Hiroyuki Yoshino.
Male voice lead is Kaji Yuuki.
Female voice lead is omygawdwa.
We're talking lots of yaoi over AND undertones.
At least Railgun season two will definitely have a Blu-Ray. Who knows, they might even release BD versions of Railgun season one because of season two.
Directed by Seiji Kishi. Its gonna sell millions.
He lurks. I don't think he has an account though. I don't think he's peered in this thread in a while.

The fujoshi market's purchasing power is to be feared.
I guess we'll have to try.
Sounds like a series Id be highly interested in.

The only thing that will prevent it selling is using up all the potential materials for doujins.
