So it really is true to Araki's style!
If you like good OPs and EDs.
Well that's stage 1 complete.
Stage 2, subliminally post Azumanga gifs till it rises up the backlog priority.

kayos refusing to listen to a Roundtable song.
That's it screw you guys I'm going home.
...
now kayos is actually costing us posts by driving regulus out!
I don't even know what a roundtable song is.
Plus, sometimes yall link some weird stuff so I don't want to click on it.
Which browser do you use?
Chrome. Why do you ask?
There's an extension for gaf that lets you see the the titles and play them in-line if you so choose. Beats the random youtube link even if it does break the occasional formatting.
Diebuster was Gainax!?
*checks on MyAnimeList*
Fuck MyAnimeList and their shitty weaboism, I was wondering what the fuck what Top wo Narae! was for a minute.
Only 6 eps.
And early Gainax to boot.
I'm so glad you posted this during "backlog season", looks like I've got a nice little short somethings to watch along with Yoiko.
That's the thing, almost every Azumanga gif I've ever seen makes it look like it's full of the sort of randumb anime humor that I just don't like, almost like a proto-Nichijou. I'm not saying I'm not completely mistaken, that's just what's kept me from watching it.
Well that's stage 1 complete.
Stage 2, subliminally post Azumanga gifs till it rises up the backlog priority.
Yes, you do. Its just a Diebuster song.
Oh. I didn't know that. Do we have a thread for all of the useful gaf add-ons for chrome?

It is, and not watching Azumanga is forgiveable but WHY HAVENT YOU WATCHED HAIBANE RENMEI?
That's pretty reasonable. I feel like the market is oversaturated with those types of shows and Azumanga sort of pioneered it which is why it gets a free pass. I actually still put it on more of a pedestal than those aforementioned anime because it's humor is better placed. You'll immediately tell if it falls into the camp you don't like from the first couple episodes. At any rate, definitely worth a look if you ask me.

The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya 19
Thank goodness, after seven days can finally move on to some other plot and what not. Sure got some joy from this arc but the last episode probably was the first time where I was getting tired of the feeling of deja vu and was ready to move on. The fourth episode too gave me those feelings, but I think it was just me still settling in considering the arc and they still threw in a few different perspectives from there.
Kind of deep and mindblowing.
Post conclusion Kyon Koizumi scene was great.
My heartfelt condolences on those that had to watch this weekly when it aired.

as it just came from nowhere how it was resolved. Was definitely thinking theyd have to embrace her and go I love you, or just suggest something early on that wasnt on the list, all these false hints shown just put me on the wrong path and made me think of the wrong things, like they having to beat haruhi at bug catching or do something big on that extra day, but to think it had to actually be something not involving Haruhi but actually with Kyon. Its like the world had revolved around him and his own personal list or something. Homework is just so easily overlooked and not something I would even consciously have on a list. Which seemed similar to Koizumi and even Asahina.

It sounds like it works like neogaf mobile. Neogaf mobile embeds youtube videos into posts directly and I can see exactly what they contain without leaving the page.

You have no idea.
No. Winter of Anime |OT - 5| duckroll sucks. Or something like that....
It kind of is, but alot more coherent.
No I haven't watched Top wo Narae!, because normally when I hear a title with the genre tag "mecha" attached to it, I usually poke it with a ten foot barge pole and walk away.
But I'm getting better in that regards, I did watch Code Geass, Evangelion, and Tengen Toppa Guerran Lagann in the last 2 years (or was that just last year) for the first time.
I don't want something like that to be the title. How do I change my vote?
Also, go watch Diebuster jeez.
Actually, Galaxy angel came before Azumanga. but Azumanga pioneered it taking place in a school. Galaxy angel was taking place all over the place and in space.
Galaxy angel is also WAY cuter.
Thanks. I'm always paranoid of using add-ons because I've had bad experiences in the past....

People like you are the reason we got CGI Evangelions.
Watch Gunbuster first. It's a seminal :SDBurton work. Then Diebuster, which is even more :SDBurton.
I still have the API that puts moustaches on every avatar and picture.
The two are... not that similar.

Each time someone makes the comparison, I have a slight urge to throw something.

Awful shows always get such good ops.

Did their last CD with all dem anime songs already come out?
Azumanga is Nichijou if Nichijou was consistently funny. Kiyohiko Azuma is a good comedy writer, there's a reason everybody futilely hopes for a Yotsubato anime.

This reminds me how mad I was when the subtle changes to the NHK OP in the second half of the show practically ruined the song.
but its a good show
It's been many years since I've watched Galaxy Angel, but what I was getting at is the slice-of-life aspect that Azumanga pioneered. GA wasn't really like that, was it?
Also, Azumanga is way cuter. Chiyo cannot be stopped.

They released a Singles Best 2002-2012 Memories last November but not sure if it has every anime related song of theirs.

Someone needs to compile this shit down. Roundtable feat. Nino is like heroin.
Cool. Except now I can't read the sentence with relative ease....
Oh man, if only you knew, I still haven't watched the movie, because the scar burns deep, but one day...

I'm sorry for the downfall of hand drawn mecha anime.
Can i admit, I "accidentally" watched Full Metal Panic, looking for Fullmetal Alchemist many years ago. lulz.
I was sold on it being a 6 episoder, not that that's always a bonus.
Well, she does think she's a frog.
Another one from that era is Hare+Guu. It's not exactly a traditional setting, but there is a school and all.
I only bring this up because I was watching Kyoani's episodes of Hare+Guu today and they are pretty great. Imagine the comedic genius of Tsutomu Mizushima fused with the (already very good at the time) animation of Kyoani, and the storyboard work of both Yamakan and Takemoto. It's a very satisfying result, at the very least!
