It really is. There needs to be more episodes with Manami's family, they're quite the amusing bunch. I'm just waiting to meet a nice chick to whom I can say "Let me show you my hyper-weapon!" to. XD
I mean the sequel, the second season, 流星の双子.

Okay, so, two things to start: First, this middle section I have been too harsh upon. As a child, I may well have found Asemu vs Zeheart a compelling story, the way I did Sora vs Riku. The other is that I cannot understate my hatred for Flit Asuno. He literally just told his son "I am not your dad." Having the grown man pilot get blushy over the newly introduced moe 12 year old mechanic girl was not the highlight of the episode.

Gunbuster
She's fourteen years old (or was it sixteen?), and
she just realised that fighting space aliens is kind of a really fucking scary and dangerous thing to get into. Not only is she capable of dying, but that all the authority figures around her (Sumisu as her senpai) are not invulnerable. Think of it as PTSD except during war.
Gunbuster is a parable about the experiences of soldiers who go and return from conflict. I think you should keep that in mind for the latter half of the show.

Manami episode is truly the best episode, and I love the whole series more than anyone should.
Oh. Then I wouldn't understand the similarities.
When I finish my current slate, I'm gonna take a long look at my backlog and decide how to proceed. I don't want to have more than 5 shows on my viewing block at the same time. So, in addition to Cowboy Bebop, which I'm watching with my brother, I'll probably watch 4 shows, tops. I want to get back into Shin Sekai Yori, so that's one slot most likely filled. I also want to watch Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, but I might actually make that the show to watch with my brother after we finish Bebop, though I don't believe he's seen Ghost in the Shell, so I'll have to introduce him to that.
Fate/Zero also piques my interest. And now that I think about it, I bought Vol.2 (not Vol.1 cause I'm stupid as shit) of Steins;Gate, so I may purchase Vol.1 just cause I've already made the investment.
Been a while since I've seen a magical girl anime. I've been heavily interested in Revolutionary Girl Utena (if that counts). Also had my eye on Precure, specifically Heartcatch Precure.
There are some shows on Hulu and Netflix that I know are held in high acclaim, like Hellsing and Gurren Lagann. But those would probably stay in my backlog.
I'll worry about this more when I finish what's on my plate.

Utena should be mandatory viewing even if you don't like magical girls.
I'm a freakydeak for Azunyan in the sheets?
Pig head off, pig head on, azunyan's my pigeon head, givin head until she dead.

Nanoha and Nanoha A's should be watched by everyone.
Until she's dead? One too many and you're a necrophiliac. This is beyond lewd even for you.

Social commentary.

Nice...Now gimme!
Yeah, shorts were bundled with the home releases.
Speaking of Utena, don't forget what's releasing on Wednesday this week!
This is just for Japan, right? I may hold out on Utena and wait for an American blu-ray release.

Just Japan and the US licensor has said in the past they were reluctant on doing BD releases. For cost and other reasons. It will be a while till it makes it in the US.

Senran Kagura 2: Better than ep 1 but was tat really difficult.Seing high school girls being assaulted by frogs was - in a weird/Japanese/perverted way making perfect sense. Japan what have you done to me? :/
Gunbuster 1: This shows looks good though nothing distinguishes itso far from the typic mecha anime. I'll continue it because I love mechas and it might become better later. Also, I like this kind of "vintage" art in anime

Fucking hell. May as well bite the bullet on the DVDs. Though I'll check out the first two or so episodes on their YT channel that DTL hooked me up with.
I'm really sorry, I'm one to talk but I've seen you do this twice now. There's no real point in typing out show titles in Japanese since this is an English forum and not everyone can read Japanese. Typing it out in Romaji is alot better than using actual Japanese characters. There are obviously situations where typing in Japanese is warranted but I don't see the point in busting it out randomly. At best this makes you look like a showoff and at worst it makes you look like a schmuck.

I like this trend of harassing people into watching quality anime for once.
Of course they announced that shit like two months after I finished buying the DVD remasterisation. IKUHARAAA
Watch Hyouka!
It's not harassment if they like it.

Define "quality anime" please. I'm not sure which kind of answer I should give to your message. and I don't want to pull a :kayos.
YomeColle has that function for most characters, too, using the phone camera.

I assume it's more that the usual recommendations consist of shows like School Days which is, no question about it, bad. We really should get back to recommending The Laws of Eternity.

Hitokage, this man certainly does not suck at poetry!
Yes, yes we should.
School Days is a modern greek tragedy!

I never heard of The Laws of Eternity. I'm gonna check what it is.
Edit: I don't have time for seeing movies sadly.
But speaking of quality anime, can someone recommend me something of the quality of Mons†er? I'm yet to find a show anywhere near this one.

I figured you'd prefer it if it was tight up against her body, but I guess having a wardrobe that's practically falling off of her has its merits too.
I suppose so, I just feel her relationship with him was going a mile a minute. Makes me think of the Mike scene from Resident Evil 4

I did! The first six episodes anyway. You can't blame me for not trying!
Gunbuster is good bro.
Hito knows his shit up.
Don't tell me you're putting it above The Laws of Eternity. How could you!?
Don't read up about it, just watch it. Spoiling yourself ahead of time take out like 95% of the enjoyment. It's just a film so you'll only have to give about 90mins of your time towards it rather than 13~X24mins like most series.
Isn't six considered the low point of the series? Since you got that far you may as well continue.

It probably was when it was out, but I saw so many mecha animes that I can't see its originality so far. Though it certainly isn't a bad anime. I just ned to go further than ep1 to find out what it really is.

Greek tragedies are actually engaging. School days bored me to death after the first episode.
