Clannad AS is amazing yes, but PshycoNinja still needs to watch Gurren Lagann and Madoka Magica.
Like, everybody who watches anime in general should watch Gurren Lagann and Madoka Magica.

This is amusing coming from you, Mahou Shoujo Luminous Star Hitokage.
GL was cool, but I dunno about it being mandatory!
I can and do talk other anime! I've seen some shit, let me tell you.
Nagi no Asu Kara 25
After the reactions I'd seen to this episode, I was fully expecting
, and I was getting all ready to write impressions that were just NOPENOPENOPENOPE. But after seeing the actual episode, I don't feel like it's as bad as it could have been.
Speaking of which, Hikari is now officially more dense than Togashi Yuuta.
That brief moment between Kaname and Sayu was fucking wonderful, though <3 God help me I love that pairing. And though as you all know Chisaki is far from being my favourite character in this, the scene between her and Tsumugu at the beginning of this episode was really damn sweet too. Those two are so, so right for each other. And Tsumugu does not mess around! The guy has balls!
EDIT: Oh, and Akira is adorable max. I mean, he's always adorable max, but it was particularly notable in this episode. What a sweet kid.
After the reactions I'd seen to this episode, I was fully expecting
Miuna to become the new sacrifice
The ocean took her as the sacrifice, yes, but Hikari went straight after her all the way to the graveyard, and the wooden ojoshi-sama, complete with Manakapendant, is on its way down there as well. I still can't see them letting Miuna actually stay there as a sacrifice, and it made me really happy as a supporter of the HikarixMiuna pairing to see him getting so desperate for her sake (even if much of the rest of this episode was busy beating the chances of that pairing to a bloody pulp with a HikarixManaka-shaped club).
Speaking of which, Hikari is now officially more dense than Togashi Yuuta.
That scene between him and Miuna was eerily similar to the scene between Yuuta and Shichimiya in episode 10 of Chuuni Ren, and just as painful to watch. But whereas Yuuta actually managed to figure out how Shichimiya felt about him on his own, Hikari had to be told about Miuna's feelings. By Tsumugu. Sigh.

He's such a good ninja you never noticed.

Nagi no Asukara (Nagi-Asu: A Lull in the Sea) Episode 25
Kind of expected route, but I was on the edge of my seat the whole Ofuneheiki.
insert typical praise of Akira being the little brother that everyone wants to have, so cute.

it even felt like déjà vu even with that stormy waters disrupting the lull in the sea, then everyone falling in but perhaps most applause worthy was Kaname saving someone, and Tsumugu diving right in with Hikari along the way. Perhaps he truly doesnt even have feelings for Chisaki and is just comforting her until he can get Hikari to himself by having this play out with Miuna getting her feelings lost and trapped and maintaining a Mukaido who cant love.

Best out of what?
You're funny. Opinions and all that.
That's not nice.
Sorry about that. It's pretty personal though. The story involves a personal family tragedy and this is the name (spelling of the name and all) in memory of a certain individual.
I am sorry you feel that way. Still working on my MAL. Hopefully when you see it, you can see me in a different light.

Gurren Lagann gave me everything I could have asked for in an anime. (Well almost everything. I only have one, and only one tiny tiny problem with it)
TTGL SPOILERS.
And that's the ending. Come on Gainax! Simon deserved better than that!!! It's acceptable yes, and I can easily overlook it, but come on!
But despite that, it is a wonderful show that everyone should watch. It is unfortunate that despite how I like KLK, it's a big step down from Gurren Lagann.
I guess everybody needs an enemies list.
And maybe poke at it and judge it a bit.
Our barins are albe to raed wdors eevn wehn all the mdilde lretets are mseesd up. Wlel, mbaye not wrods taht are ealpotxlnicey lnog.
Mashiro literally makes the show. I love how it feels like everyone on the staff knows the show's really about Mashiro, the ED heavily features, the end card is her, hell, if I was in Kobeni's position I'd marry that boring dude just to get Mashiro into my family.

Mikakunin END
The ending was tooooooo sweet. Kobeni and Hakuya are so adorable and I'm so glad they finally understood their affection towards each other. Perfect ending to the show. Really was my favourite show of the season. I don't even want a S2 and I'm sure there won't be because everything was wrapped sublimely.

I read all of your impressions posts in the voice of the Raven from Billy and Mandy.
It makes following this thread worth it on its own.

DO NOT CRY.
While what you said is 100% correct, Hakuya turns out to be a pretty cool dude at the end of it all. Dependable husbando for sure.

I will get around to that one of these days. Promise. You PM'd me the list and promised I would get to it.
Let's be nice. I don't mind people doing a little ribbing on me for fun. I don't mind.
I think I talk about other anime just as equally (I like to think). I just bring up Clannad and Angel Beats a lot because I legitimently like those shows. Like the saying goes "Everyone is a fan of something".
I took this as a complement. So thanks.
#Truthfact
Hahahaha. But I like that show too and I get way more crap for liking that more so than Clannad.
I guess. :/
I like most people here, understanding everyone likes and watches different things. So I don't really have a list like that.
I hate Billy and Mandy, though.
I mean, I liked it initially, but when it became about how Mandy was such a great character and Fred Fred Burger my joy turned to loathing.

To insult Hakuya is to bring forth a war.

This is still a thing? I love the thing that this is.

Pyscho don't sweat it bro. Can't believe people are hating you for liking Angel Beats and Clannad, two great animes when shit like Precure gets put on some pedestal for exactly what reason?
Yes I just went there.
Mashiro is comedic relief. Nothing more. The show is clearly centred on Kobeni and Hakuya's relationship.

jman is a professional grump, upset over his lack of a Mio Akiyama pillow. He's harmless.
Precure often IS shit. Max Heart was easily bottom 5 worst anime I've ever seen, and even people who aren't that particular about their anime tell others to avoid it.
However, it can also be good, and right now the current show is rather good indeed.

I certainly hope one of those days isn't too far off! If you watch either one of those shows (preferably Gurren Lagann), I will continue watching Angel Beats. You have my word.
I have no idea what this list is about even now. Apparently I was on it and now Im not but I dont feel any different.
She does. Honestly I like Kobeni a lot but Mashiro was the shining star of this anime and the reason I kept up with it.

It's not actually an enemies list!
Oh I see how it is. Backing up your own kin!

Waitwaitwaitwait, after some of the shenanigans people like Brandy, dimb, and others have pulled here while I've taken great strides to limit my hate only to shows that I legitimately do not like, I'm the professional grump around here?!
I take great umbrage to such a silly claim. Unaccetable
Also if I wanted a Mio Akiyama pillow I'd already have one, and I don't, so ha!
I see others have already covered this, but I feel the need to chime in anyway:
Much as I approve of your attitude towards Mashiro, consider her a goddamn miracle and easily one of the best characters of the season...you do NOT talk shit about Hakuya. Hakuya is cool. Hakuya is true husbando material.

It feels to me like a show that will be incredibly cheesy (i.e lets use friendship to save the world), repetitive and tbh seems aimed at a much much younger audience.
lol
There's nothing wrong with Kobeni really, Hakuya's really the only real dull character.
Dude, do you even shounen?
True love.

I promise to get to your stuff after I finish the Clannad Challenge anime I need to watch. I am actually almost done with the challenge stuff I have to watch. Branduil is behind. ;P
Well I am not sure what it is but if it's bad then I apologize for whatever reason I am on that list. I try to be friendly to everyone here.
Unless it's a sexy list. That I won't apologize for.
