Just wanted to say that this is an excellent post, and while I loved Toradora!, I can absolutely admit that it had problems, and I agree with a lot of what you pointed out. Especially in regards to Minori not telling people what the hell her problem is, all for the sake of the plot. That and Kitamura. I could never figure out just why the hell Taiga, or anyone for that matter, liked him. He was almost completely devoid of any sort of personality. Which is really kinda strange, since Minori (despite her flaws) was fairly well written in that regard.
But yeah, I guess my biggest issue with Toradora! was that most of the conflicts and problems in the series were caused by misunderstandings and perceived slights. The sort where if people took five minutes to just fucking talk, everything could be solved. But then, I've noticed this in several Japanese dramas, anime and otherwise. It just seems to be a thing they do.
But yeah, great post. I really enjoyed reading it.

Moe.
I will say, as seemingly the lone complainer, this is how I would like the show to be paced - especially if they're not willing to actually take the time/budget to go into the lives of the opponents that they face.
Although, the ending makes no sense since they basically revealed thatOh, and I guess related to that, Engrish alart, Engrish alart!the characters don't speak English earlier. Continuity error for the sake of a good ending to the match I suppose. lol
And the actual ending of the episode was hilarious because of all that it implies.Arata got that swagger, bro.
Does a giant foot come down and crush someone? Or do they end up fighting in WW1?
I have always wondered why Japanese speak so awful english. Just watched some korean drama last week (Iris 2 ftw) and they speak so much better english.
When are the last two episodes of GuP being aired again? It's this month, right?
WAIT WHO CARES A YUKARI DOUJIN JUST GOT SCANED OMG. Oh damn! Take that Yukari!! taaaakeee itttttt!!! ヽ(≧Д≦
With the day I've been having, I needed that laugh. Thanks man.
Sweet heavens at your following post though. :lol
My anime club sucks
They didn't really like JoJo's Bizarre Adventure.
Anime club? Like a club of anime?
That sounds horrifying! Especially one with such terrible taste.
My club didn't even vote it in.

I have fun with Jojo, but I could see why some people wouldn't be fond of it.
Speaking from a newcomer face-value level, as I haven't read any of the material. I don't know how it's doing as an adaptation and if that affected their perception of the anime or not.
That's not doujin ya chickens!

Hah, that's random.
There are probably a lot who can... it's just the actors that are bad at it. lol
I'm more shocked at why they don't just pay a random English teacher off the street 5 bucks to proofread their script.
I'm not dipping my hands in that mess, someone else needs to do that.
I heard that the Korean language matches English more than Japanese does. Something to do with phonetics, but I don't speak either Korean or Japanese so I don't know for sure.
I've clearly overblown my image.

No, thank you! After all, It was all the earlier discussion that made me aware of the series again. And because it really seemed to resonate for you (amongst others), I had that in mind whilst writing all that. I'm glad you took the time to read it!
Have you read the LN's at all? I'd be curious to know if the characterization is any different.
I'd put it down to the excessive use of "cheeky".

Eh, I can't stop the groans that "New addition to Superpower/Magical Girl Team 101" episodes tend to bring in general. Alas, with these things it is all but a necessary evil.

demands global destruction. There was a small bit of the usual, which is not unwelcome. But it was mostly a flat introduction and execution of a TRAGIC character.
Nonetheless, it still makes for very easy animewatch and the cringes due to plot/backstory (Its actual plot/backstory, nothing wrong with the voluptuous type!) aren't enough to chase me off. Gimme the next episode, etc.

This was a good start to the tournament. Pretty much all of the main characters had some good moments in the episode. Komano is the MVP of the team, and I'm surprised with just how much I've started enjoying Hanano's scenes.
The main match of the episode was pretty fun. It was a fairly simple match, but there were a lot of good moments, particularly with Nishida's observations. And then...that ending.
This show just doesn't have bad episodes. It's always an enjoyable viewing experience.

Her constantly updating her observations was hilarious.

Aside from reading the ending to see if there was any difference from the anime (there is), no, I haven't. I plan on it eventually, though.
And I'm sure a lot of the reason that Toradora! resonated so much for me is because it was my first "real" romance anime. I've seen a few others that I guess you could call romance, or at least ones that had a romance element, but Toradora! was the first one I'd watched where the romance was at the center of the plot.
I can't wait.
Also, Branduil, the top of your avatar being cut off has triggered some weird compulsion inside of me. If you'd like, take one of these:
LOL, thanks.

Can anyone tell me what anime character this is referencing?
She was shown as part of a gag involving various anime characters named "Maya", so that's presumably her first name.
It seems to be one Maya Kitajima from the Glass Mask series.
No wonder it looks so good! Ex-Gainax magic showing those noobs at Ufotable how good shit is done.
Ah, so it is. I've only seen the 1983 version of Glass Mask so this is how I'm used to seeing her:
A variety of events reminded me of this Anime Contents Expo teaser.

Well, whatever it is, we'll find out in 16 hours... assuming some other source doesn't somehow leak the info first.

Gundam 00 took awhile for me to get into. Its really good once it gets going. Season 2 is also good as well, but the movie was kind of dumb.
I finished Gundam Seed recently, was really good. Watching seed destiny, about 35 episodes in. Clearly inferior and the amount of recycled footage is terrible. Probably going to watch 0078 afterwards and start up the UC stuff.

So is there anything in this category between 13 and 26 episodes worth watching? Feel like I need something action-y to counterbalance iM@S.

Futari wa Pretty Cure 3
Note to Zakenna: when you have your enemy saying "I can't breathe!", you don't fucking stop. You've got them by the (metaphorical) balls. Chucking them into a wall is pointless. Pretty Cure would be dead and you would have all seven stones if you hadn't gotten stupid. Nice job.
Pretty meh episode overall. How the hell did what's-his-face just come in and present himself as a student teacher? Nobody seemed to be husks when he first showed up. And why did people think he was cute? He's as pale as a cocaine-addicted ghost, for crying out loud.
Scene with Honoka's grandmother was pretty cute though.

Crunchyroll needs to fix its genre labeling. Half the shit in their I wouldn't qualify as action.
