Yeah, but he wants a detailed analysis as to why hyouka is awesome and how terrible kill me baby is. I'd go more into it myself but I think the hyouka rewatch posts lately have it pretty covered and outside of the ninja character there's very little to like about kill me baby. I'll probably elaborate later after I've gotten some dinner in me.

It was mentionned in the thread BUT people don't read old posts
for some reason , even when this thread has been must slower than the other OTs
Precisly .. encouraging lenghty posts would only prevent people from posting;
mangagaf works well , for posting impressions as soon as something is released ..so i dunno why it should be a problem here.

Sometimes it can still be several pages in a few hours... that's a lot to go through if you just want to catch up.
Every post on GAF is a trap of some sort!

EDIT: ,
I probably should have written something more insightful than "The Kill me Baby hate." (well done for working it out. You win nothing). I just didn't really want to say negative things because I like it here. But if I were honest long pictures posts can be a bit annoying but they are easy enough to scroll past. They'll just not be read so if you want your opinion heard stick to one image.
EDIT: Oh and I hate getting the last post on the page.

I agree . but reading 300 posts and ignoring information about series i don't watch is something i do in less than 5 minutes.
I might be a special case but i don't feel a problem consideirng we're so much slower than during summer 2012. ( that time was crazy ...cajunator + kayos , SAo talks left and right .. posts everywhere .. )
i enjoy their posts , but they sure posted during that timeframe.
I agree.
GaoGaiGar Final 06
This final arc was really great, OMG dem beautiful 2D mech
Genesic GaoGaiGar freaking rocks.
And goddamn at new OP, its goddamn colossal. I jumped from my seat seeing that.
Now you can watch Betterman since it apparently takes place in the same continuity.

Eh, I really liked how 00 s1 tried to give a global overview of the conflict rather than focusing on a small group and their drama (which was taken to stupid levels way back in SEED). I can't say I particularly cared for any one character, but the whole structure and conflict kept me engaged in the show. With season 2, they changed to a more "personal" format, focused on Gundam pilot's drama and Saji. Reading your opinion, I guess some Japanese fans likely had similar complaints about the show, which caused the changes done to s2.
I don't think it was for the better though, and I don't know if it can even please someone who wasn't enjoying the show in the first place. I really liked 00s1, it's the best post-Turn-A Gundam to me, and 00s2's change of focus was just disappointing after 00s1 tried something actually unique.

One line impressions are kind of odd to me, surely out of watching 23 minutes of content one could come up with more than only one sentence to say, or worst, more than just one solitary gif of .itshappening?
More than four images is just not really bad its just a hassle for scrolling and occasionally locks up my browser(s) though annoying when the the no hotlinking allowed thing is present. especially when its Msyu.
What would even be a solution to this what would an appropriate buffer even be for the sake of images?
I dont think Ive ever seen this done by anyone in this thread.

She at least seems to have a legitimate reason to fight unlike some of them. Plus she's the best looking.Another Tomoe fan?! High-five!
So many people seem to find her (and Leina) boring.
Yeah, most of them I can probably guess who wrote them.
The IRC can go by a mile a minute too and unless you're sitting their the whole time, you'll probably miss news being posted there.
What about 2?
I know, sometimes I'll have impression posts just waiting to get to the top of the page, but don't tell anyone.
Sometimes there isn't much that can be said about an episode without spoiling it.
Ha ha HAAAAAAA!

Some shows, it's hard to write more than one line about. Especially stuff like, say, slice of life shows. I'm loving Hidamari Sketch, for instance, but it's hard to come up with more than a sentence or two about each episode. It's just not the kind of show you can write at length about. Or at least I can't. I dunno, maybe it's just me.
Those results are pretty fascinating especially the dichotomy between the people who place such value in more meaningful and substantial posts and those who take a more casual and laid back approach to posting in this thread. I think there's room for both of these to varying degrees but sometimes when those two sides overlap there is some definite friction in this community that I've noticed. That said, I guess it might be expected as this is pretty much the catch-all community when it comes to anime on this site.
That WAS the plot to 00. Now it's "Hey we haven't done anything hilariously stupid with our Gundams today, LET'S GO GET IN A FIGHT WITH THE WORLD. I mean, aren't these guys supposed to be fighting war? How in God's name do they get caught with their pants down by the largest military movement in the history of the world?
I have to disagree. Nobody in this show acts reasonably. You have Gauron-rip-off who is in it for the evulz, you have probably-going-to-be-Char who is in it because he's gay for Gundams, you have little girl Zeheart who does what she's told (and somehow never gets knocked for riding a pink mobile suit?) and Saji Waste of Goddamn Time Crossroads who exists to prove to us all that FFXII's Vaan was a well written character.
I beg to differ here. Destiny's plot is straightforward: Peace didn't work out the way everyone wanted it to, and Durandal is pulling the strings behind it all to get what he wants. 00, on the other hand, is again, "Let's go kill like, twenty guys in Somalia! That'll stop war!"
I'm not looking to defend Destiny's mostly terrible cast, but let's not pretend that anybody in 00 is any better.
I hate God because he -didn't- make me kill my mom and dad! But I thought he did! Why can't I be a Gundam or Sousuke Sagara?
WHEN ALL MY PLANS DON'T GO PERFECTLY, I CRY.
NEVER COME INSIDE ME WITHOUT MY PERMISSION AGAIN.
You don't deserve to be the Gundam Meister Meister burger! I do because!
My expensive girlfriend is a nag, but what am I gonna do!
I'm a reporter but I'm gonna stop reporting so I can look up someone who died 200 years ago when they had terrible record keeping systems like the internet, investigative journalism, and you know, record keeping.
I'm the princess who does nothing! Why can't my country have stuff!
I exist solely to criticize the princess and wish I was Quistis Trepe!
Did you see that Gundam? I want it to come inside me without my permission!
I love you tactical weatherwoman, why didn't you plan for that?
LET'S GO SHOPPING THAT IS HOW TO ENJOY LIFE.
Let me know when 00 actually starts to have people. And for the record, the following characters don't count, because they're lifted directly from Full Metal Panic!:
Setsuna F. Seiei- Sousuke Sagara
Lockon Stratos- Kurz Weber
Ali Sanchez or whatever- Gauron
God, this show is almost as unoriginal as Rah Xephon.
Ms. Sumiragi is one of the only likeable cast members. The problem I have is her job description is cockamamie. How does one forecast tactics? It's not the weather. You plan out missions, that's tactics. You can bet and even mathmagic what the enemy will do, sure, but you don't say "It's gonna be cloudy with a chance of sniper over this hillock here!"
Please don't steal credit for my answers.

Oh god, all these emotions. Another stellar ep.

Gonna second this. Barring some collapse at the end, this is promising to be a gem folk are missing out on.

Man, Kircheis' ancestor is a pretty loyal person, his undying devotion to whatever cause he believes in must surely run in the family! Seriously though, this was a fantastic episode. I might've been dogging it pretty hard in the early eps for it's less that stellar production values but there are times when it has some utterly fantastic animation and pitch perfect directing and this episode was most definitely one of those. Watching the cast turn from a bunch of fairly simplistic yet incredibly charming and fun loving goofs into these surprisingly complex and meaningful characters has been a real joy to watch, especially with the far more serious tone this shows taken over the past couple of eps. Easily the dark horse of the season (that isn't Encouragement of Climb even though i was looking forward to that the day it was announced AND Y'ALL DIDN'T BELIEVE!!!!!!) and one that's not to be missed.

Pretty terrible like almost every other episode of this series. A sliver of in-game action stuff overrun by the mediocrity of everything else.
00:00-01:40 - ownage in-game battling
01:41-23-10 - OP, SHITTY TEKKEN ADVERT & END

Hating on Tekken? For shame.
It is impossible to decipher many one line posts because they lack context. Often times they even lack a discernible emotional response. Even if people post about something I watched it isn't uncommon for me to have no idea what their one line post is even about because I have no memory of whatever insignificant thing they mention with one or two words.
But I probably shouldn't talk because I don't even really post impressions anymore.
True. You don't really need to write 10 paragraphs to say that you liked an episode.
Well said.
The reason behind it, is that it doesn't give birth to discussion.
Although detailed posts could lead to pages of ripping apart a toilet scene, so it's really pick your poison.
I don't really care if people liked an episode. It's more interesting to me to read something that reaches deeper and tells me more about the poster.

i have been really enjoying chihayafuru. i still dont have any interest in karuta and i tend to zone out when theyre explaining which cards are left, or why they confused one card for another, but the characters are great and engaging. at first i thought i was like how come everyone isnt some super attractive model like in most animes but i grew to like them all, and the two new characters in the second season have been pretty good so far too.
i also like how even the minor characters show some growth such as chihayas mom and sister. its nice to see characters fail and work on their shortcomings and watching their progress instead of a 5 year flash forward when theyre already amazing. its got some great humor too. the females all throwing taichi a towel during a match a few episodes back was hilarious.
regarding the latest episode, i doubt arata is going to be disqualified. or rather there will be some way for him to play in the individual tournament. the flashbacks were too much though. it was also stupid of him to take his mask off and his friends referring to him by his real name when they lost. he could have just left first so even if reader dude knew it was arata, he wouldnt have any hard proof. just dumb of him all around but i guess he really felt bad for that team he tried to help.

There was a myriad of other screencaps I could have used, but this better represents my face the entire time while watching this. The plot was completely fucking ridiculous yet heart warming, the art style was cool and the animation smooth as hell, and the characters were hot-blooded, over the top, and likable. 8/10 would watch again if I wanted my mind to be coated with fuck once again.

That is a BS reason if I ever saw one. I've seen a lot of discussion spawn from single line posts a lot more than from large impressions. People are just bitter.
Edit: Besides, I agree with BGBW, I avoid reading impressions for things I plan to watch.
That's what I do, too.
Then I go back and read them.
I like the two new characters, but now that things have really kicked in they feel underutilized. Maybe that's just because the series switched into a wacky sidestory of Arata's Con Artist Adventures.
Your loss.
Pay me.

Agree. This actually also reminds me that you haven't posted One Piece impressions for a long time! Always enjoyed those.
Honestly it should be the other way around if you want me to read your posts.
Probably getting back to it soon for what its worth. Work seems to be dying down and I've unfortunately fallen free of my comfy mecha cocoon so back to other genres.
Yet it's one of the least Gundam shows ever too which is either a testament to the general franchise quality or acknowledgement Imagawa should be allowed to do whatever he wants.
I'm not sure we're going to reach common ground here

Not that this one is surprising, but one word posts with untagged spoilers should be added to that survey of negative things about this thread.
I hope that was a joke, because that was pretty fucked up man. :O

I don't think he'll be disqualified, because it would basically prove the Queen right that playing in the team tournament is pointless, which would kind of undercut the whole theme of the episode.
Defending blatant advertisodes? For shame.
