This is not the time to go all :kayos on the matter.
how does that relate to anime
You know how I said I'd start as soon as I finished Code: Breaker?
I, uh, lied.
Idolm@ster Episode 1
Decided to give this a shot, since everyone else is. Also because it's on Crunchyroll. It was... alright. There are a lot of characters to keep track of (I almost feel like this is too much), and cutting it like a reality TV show was a fairly inspired way of introducing them in a somewhat organic fashion. That's not to say that all of the characters left particularly good impressions on me (or any impression at all, really), but it felt like a smart, if not very nuanced way to approach such a huge cast. That all out of the way, I can say for certain this show is extremely well produced. I mean, it's harder to appreciate going from Tamako Market to this, but it's definitely well animated and I didn't notice any issues regarding off-model frames. I actually quite like the art style, too.
Wasn't keen on a lot of the jokes/antics. Some of it felt pretty standard, and the stuff wih ponytail fang girl's hamster was not setting my world on fire at all. Not that much happened, and unlike some other shows where that might apply, I don't think it's got the necessary chemistry or interesting enough character dynamics to fall back on in the place of 'actual events'. Some of the characters are definitely quite likable, though.
Speaking of which, as far as my tiers go, I think I like Chihaya, Makoto, and the sleepy blonde (Miki, right?) the best. Most of the others just... didn't leave that much of an impact on me. The others, well, they made worse than that. In particular, the twins, Ami and Mami. They are just really annoying characters. I'm also not a fan of Iori or Yukiho either. I'm not that fond of Iori's disposition thus far (though maybe that will change), and I can see Yukiho's archetype and character arc from a mile away. I'm just sick of characters like her. Unless they do something interesting with her character, I can't see myself liking her at all.
I'm a bit concerned that this show is gonna collapse on the weight of its' own characters and try to juggle too much and just have it blow up in its' face. I'll be impressed if they can succeed in adequately fleshing out this entire cast in twenty four episodes.
Still, this first episode has me intrigued enough to continue. I need something to keep me occupied between Code: Breaker episodes.

The answer is more Code Breaker episodes!

Tonight, I watched the first episode of Space Brothers, and several episodes later, I have to say I'm hooked now. I don't know how I've missed this up until tonight. It's one of those anime, like FLCL, that just.. feels good to watch.
Also, I need to know where this is from:

The second and third episode sucks. After that it's pretty much smooth sailing though.

Because if you're going to objectify women, you might as well objectify women that you have an infinitesimally small chance of sleeping with!
Everyone should. It's consistently amazing.
Agreed, dat forehead <3
Since when did people stop sleeping with their body pillows?

Be prepared for everything not feeling as moon in comparison.
Same here. I don't know a damn thing about Idolm@ster, except that porn of it is hot. Especially if it has Yayoi, Rika, or Iori. That's about the extent of my knowledge...
lol @ you
im not allowed to appreciate nicely designed female characters because its somehow equivalent to objectifying the entire gender.
surprised you're not bitching about idolmaster tbqh
I appreciate it if they'd put her in more roles that aren't squeaky high pitch.

Okay, have sexual intercourse with then. lol
Well, I'm just saying why it's not really a factor when it comes to my appreciation or lack thereof for Redline.

then keep it to yourself and dont bash people that like it
would be the mature thing to do, right?
But iM@S is a classy show for classy people.
Laura Bailey is pretty good.
oh the ironing. I don't know where this fallacy of "if you don't like something don't talk about it" came from but it's one of the biggest hindrances to discussion.
yeah
because idols arent the epitomy of objectification or anything
im saying dont insult me because I like something
apparently that was too difficult for you to grasp

You don't know what people do with those pillows. You just don't know.
You're tryin my patience little mascot-kun.

Well, if you bring it up, I assume I'm allowed to voice my disagreement if it's... well, not something that I would agree with.
Sleep on them?
Lick them?

Can you be my Kugyuu bro?
Some of those backgrounds are pretty bad, in that they don't mesh well at all with the character art and have some ugly filters applied.
by telling me that im objectifying all girls?
by saying that I have no chance of sleeping with real ones?
yeah
real nice

Saint Seiya Omega 41
I see we're back to bullshit wins. Wouldn't be Saint Seiya without it! Just like Ikki vs Shaka, I'll say Soma vs Sonia was a fluke.

Of course.

What the hell is going on with that background character? Did she come from a different show or something?
Shutting the door on truth, I see.
EDIT: Just so you all know (and before the defense force assembles), I really like Rie Kugimiya and she's my preferred voice for a lot of characters.
Laura Bailey is just the greatest, though.
compelling argument as always wonzo

Given that GuP pillow with the removable clothes, I figure worse things probably happen.
Well, I suppose implicit in my post was that people objectify celebrities that most posters would not have a chance to sleep with. The Salma Hayek vs Penelope Cruz thread, for example.
I suppose I do make a value judgement that one form of fantastical objectification is better than another form.
But because I had all that in my head, I was also implicitly talking about objectification in the broader sense... rather than your own experience.

Isnt she a cutie? Unless someone is heartless and hates poor people.
You put Takane on an acceptable tier.

:dtl and then anti-:dtl
The comedy works really well which is definitely my favorite part of the show. I really like the art direction they choose for the comedic parts.
