Aishiteruze Baby was super cute!
There has to be that kind large of a age gap discrepancy so not even Japan can make it creepy.
Everything I know about mahjong I learned from The Legend of Koizumi. Is that enough!?

Nopan doesn't motivate you enough already?
Sports anime are usually terrible if you want to learn how a sport actually works.
Unless, I guess, if you actually have shounen powers in real life.

I liked season 1 and 2. It just the OVA's retroactively destroyed everything in season 2.
So just watch season 1 imagine that's the real ending and then run away as fast as you can.

Gundam build fighters - 25
i don't know what happenned at sunrise ( an earth quake , maybe ? ) but i pray that they stay like this as much as possible.
Gundam build fighter is a 10/10 anime.. the fact that it's packed with action is already a feat but it's so masterfully animated durng 25 episodes is an achievement i just can't ignore. that would be nothing if the cast was lacking but in fact it's one of the most relatable cast in gundam i've seen
*Bow
The music in gundam build fighters in magnificent , not only it is diverse ( yuki & fellini themes are godly ) but it matches perfectly with the action and they dared present me with gundam battle porn for 25 episode straight.. Blu-ray i hope you are close because i freaking need them ... this anime is a MUST buy for any gundam fan , any mecha fan , any fan of animation ... it's superbly directed , masterfully executed and so much fun to watch i wish i could gif all the action scenes but my post would be over 1 gb there is so many of them and they are so fun to watch
* bow.
I don't know what they can do to add a S2 and i feel that it doesn't need one , really .however if they do make one i'd take it without reservation.
*About ep 25 *

12/10 anime at his worst gundam build fighters is barely awesome and that's a freaking sucess in my book .
The best thing that GBF did is probably this.
Outlining the myriad of possibilities open to the protagonist takes several iterations at least to emphasize the point.
or if you want to watch an engaging anime that challenges you to think from the very first episode and gives you a grasp on what's going on after a few episodes you can watch Tatami Galaxy

Onee-chan Ga Kita was pretty good, and didn't reach creepy levels that weren't comedic. But then again it's hard to reach creepy levels when you have 3-4 minutes per episode.
edit: just realized the 'little sister' part. In that case Aishiteruze Baby is damn good. But I liked it near the end more due to the romance.
Hmmmm. I wasn't planning on starting either until wednesday night at the earliest, but looks like Tatami will require me to watch the whole thing in one go. So G Gundam first it is.

Think of it this way. Kirbyayoi (Cure Honey) is willing to support people. Madp (Princess) tries his best, but Hito (Lovely) has been taking the spotlight until he got his ass whooped. And Nafe (Fortune) does her own thing while berating Princess and trying to save Lovely.
For the time being, me being support only makes me sweeter

Well Corvo should be one happy Raven because of this. I'm watching G Gundam, PshychoNinja's watching G Gundam, and now the :woofdawg's joining in on the fun.
I don't really see mahjong shows falling into the same category. Stuff like Akagi requires a far greater understanding of the game than sports anime would ask of a viewer to even have a grasp on why what's happening is impressive. Most sports are conceptually pretty simple. Watch the bikes race, hit the ball into the hole, etc. You don't have to be a tennis pro to understand where the tension exists in the match, but mahjong's complex ruleset and lack of physical motion make it way harder to pick up on.
I was joking. I didn't want people to actually respond.
It's a little sister fetish, it's creepy. Just embrace it.
Please elaborate.

I got the point after the third episode. They make it pretty obvious and slap it over your head with how repetitive each episode was. Honestly they could've just used episodes 1,2,6,7,8,10,11 and it would've gotten the point along just as well.
Engaging is one of the last words I would've used to describe this show. True it makes you think, but for all the wrong reasons. Confused can be used effectively for some shows. This isn't one of them.
Go has an incredibly deep strategy game but Hikaru no Go glosses over everything but the overall flow of the match and builds up hype moments using the powers of shounen storytelling. It's fun to watch, but it's a fairly artificial experience rather than an organic one.
So on the one hand you say you figured it out after 3 episodes and then you go on to say it doesn't make sense till the last few episodes and is confusing lol

Magi: The Kingdom of Magic Episode 25 Welcome Home [END]
Solid conclusion, was a bit strange though
. Oh well that was a minor part of it. The episode did remind me that Judar and Hakuryu's presence were largely downscaled this season. I had initially wanted to watch this anime for Judar alone so it was disappointing, but the ride did provide many entertaining new faces, an excellently handled tale of morality through different mindsets, and the opportunity to see a world in which magic was used but not as typically happy go lucky as other writers make it. For that I am glad as it was at times an intellectually stimulating, pleasantly entertaining, emotionally moving anime.
Magi 2 was certainly a more well done attempt at the series than the first season was. The inclusion of more action elements, flashier attacks with high speed lights, and characters embracing unshakable resolve to make them persever even when faced with death, persecution, or just the need to do that which is right propelled it into the upper echelon of action series. Much of this was revealed when the entire Magnoshutatt arc was starting but it stayed on that level through the end. 8/10.
A Storm is Coming To Us All needs to always be played.

when everyone somehow knew what positions to assume when it was time to unleash the Extreme Magic, arent they enemies and hadnt fought together before?

So who's the main prominent protagonist in Gundam Build Fighters.

I first watched Akagi without any understanding of Mahjong and it was pretty good. It's really the presentation and the bombast of the whole affair that sells you on it, even if you don't know what's going on.
After learning about Mahjong Akagi was enjoyable enough to rewatch, but it wasn't that much more spectacular. The basic whole gist of the story is that Akagi does something, that, via conventional mahjong strategy, seems suboptimal and at time dumb, but turns out to be the right move because of BS psychic prediction powers.
Saki though... is the DBZ of Mahjong anime. Some of the "talents" the characters possess are analogous to a poker player specializing in four-of-a-kinds, as ludicrous as it is.

Sei probably gets the 'lead' protagonist role, but Reiji is just as much of a protagonist. Basically they both are, but if you had to choose one, it'd be Sei.

Reading helps. I got the point of it's repetitious nature pretty quickly. I didn't say I "figured the show out". That's what Hito and I were talking about.
Parallel universes and all that fun stuff
What you and I were discussing was the structure of the story and how it decided to tell it throughout the series. I didn't know what the f*** the MC was doing half the time other then chasing the impossible "rose colored campus life" he wanted. The show was repetitious. Used the same jokes over and over again. Told basically the same story over and over again to hit the viewer with the proverbial bat of "the same thing keeps happening" and that it's a major plot point. Obviously it all comes together at the end but by the time you get there you shrug your shoulders and say "that could've been done better".

This bitch is crazy
This bitch is crazy
Those two aspects of the seemingly repetitious episodes and the structure of the story aren't separate
Well my point was that even straightforward competitions like sports tend to be overwhelmed in anime by one-size-fits-all shounen powerups and impossible abilities.
Which is why Girls und Panzer is one of the best sports animes.

Suddenly we DBZ now. Also reminded that JC Staff can actually kinda do action pretty well when they're actually trying.
Of course they figure out that Arsene is Henrietta because boobs and then immediately forget this fact when they all fall and crash towards the school. Oh and they lost their powers again because season 2 is coming and status quo is god.
Speaking of season 2, post-credits stinger introduces a completely new character with black hair and... antennae. No not hair antennae, I mean literally insect-esque antennae. Her name is
That's not ominous at all.
Final verdict: Why was this made? Why did I watch this? Why am I planning on watching season 2?

I could be mistaken but I don't think so.
Personally I think the soundtrack to SSO is really good though. I think from most people I've seen comment on the show, regardless of whether they thought it was okay or junk, felt that the soundtrack was really good.
China. She just wants Sei's attention!
Just watch something decent instead.
I thought if watching Saki while trying to learn the rules as a joke but all the pedo ass shit drove me the hell away pretty quickly. RKB was enough to last a billion lifetimes.

Season 1 ends on a pretty good stopping point. Everything is pretty much resolved and life goes on.
Season 1 OVA's decided that making S2 was a good idea, so they changed how Season 1 ended.
Season 2 was funny and endearing. I was entertained most of the time. The series was lead into the S2 OVA's. The OVA's were "the real ending" because there really wasn't an ending for Season 2.
Season 2 OVA's basically made you realize that the show and all of season 2 lead to these
