It had its moments.
Can't wait for that! I hope it's not too over the top, I really like her, so adorable
The magz not called "Zentradi" so of course they gonna said that.
Fuck Newtype's polling

I hope she is still epic of sorts in Seed Destiny.

Meer Campbell is the greatest waste of time as a diva ever.
Fixed because i don't like meer.
Gintama 8
Okay, this was it. The first episode that felt consistently funny throughout its duration. The Shinsengumi are funny, Gintoki showed that he's actually being his most underhanded whenever his "honorable samurai" routine goes on long enough, and Shinpachi is a pretty decent tsukkomi that mixes up his responses and can at times do something other than retort as well. In my opinion, a lot of Japanese comedies are often ruined by either one-note, ignored or unnatural tsukkomi.
Like, Tsuda from Seitokai Yakuindomo has really started to bore me recently because the "tsukkomi Tsuda" acts and speaks so differently from normal Tsuda, and his retorts never get a reply. They might as well be Youtube annotations or a laughtrack for how little they're acknowledged.
Hoping the show can keep being this funny

Show hits its stride come ep 25.
It blows my mind you haven't seen Destiny yet.
Meer is like, the only good new character in Destiny.
I actually liked Meer. Like, using her was the only reasonable part of the villain's entire plan in that show, and clingy as she was, and there was a modicum of subtlety involved with how fucked up she was. Which is waaaaaaaay more than you can say about any main character introduced in Destiny.

Im on the final episode of Seed HD. Soon.
Seitokai Yakuindomo* 13 + Final Thoughts
From the start to the finish, this season delivered exactly what I was expecting from it. Yoko Hikasa and Satomi Satou talking dirty. There was no shortage of that, and on that front, I'm satisfied. There's very little visual fanservice, but it's still one of the lewder things I've seen air on TV. Aria remains my favorite character, because of the wide variety of fetishes she brings to the table, but everyone has their charming points, especially Mutsumi, the purest of them all. I'm surprised the show had enough episodes for a second season before it actually got a second season. The one thing I really noticed that was different was that Uomi had a more prominent role - and more Chiwa Saito is always welcome. It was enjoyable, even if it was one of those shows hit by the delay. I hope that doesn't happen this season.
And kudos to the translators for keeping all of those puns into similarly dirty English equivalents.

Oh, if you want a perfect example of how lack of real interaction will kill a comedy, look at Yuri Seijin Naoko-san. Naoko does crazy stuff. Straight girl says why it's crazy every single time, but Naoko takes no notice or heed and continues to do next crazy thing. Repeat until credits. It completely sucks any potential humor it might have had, because nothing is allowed to simply be funny. I must also be spoonfed each joke punchline.
On the other hand, one of the reasons why Hare nochi Guu works as well as it does is that there's a genuine back and forth, primarily because Guu is trolling the fuck out of Hare at very opportunity.
Well first off that is a terrible example of it. Secondly, a lot of amazingly delicious food looks awful. Curry is a great example.
Not really. There are a few fights in it but mostly between the girls before they know the MC
or Kurumi
No April Fool's but Humikane DA GAWD drew everyone's favorite Finnish cutie.
So goooooooood.
HNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Thats oki. mirai is a cutie in any circumstance.
This looks pretty bad.
Its 100 episodes. you know that right?
Worth seeing but it will require some dedication.
This is 100% truth.
My taste in anime is impeccable.
Impressive!
Unlike many, I actually enjoyed Destiny. I know it's bad, but it was my 2nd Gundam show after Wing, so I have some weird opinions on it.
Get on that! If anyone other than me will like Destiny, it'll be you, and it'd be nice to not be the only person to like Destiny.
Maybe I need an rewatch (oh god.. but I do have a plan since I'm not completely watching the show and watching with local dub back then) but Lacus replacement subplot is fucking dumb from what I remember, like the rest of Destiny.
Still think that functioned far better as a 3 minute short rather than the 30 minute ep.
I can deal with that
Mostly I just watch it to squee at the cute girls doing cute fighting things
or clumsily trying to do everyday normal thingS
I'm not saying Destiny is a good show, just that it made sense. Actually what doesn't make sense is that nobody tries to do what the villain does in Macross. If you have someone as influential as Lynn Minmay you don't let her ride off into the sunset. You hold her hostage, make her sing about how great your government is, and you build your fucking regime on that till the day she dies. Harnessing the Idol's power over an incredibly stupid populous was the one good idea in the whole show.
They both had the same deep issues, though.
Precure now available on XBone.
Nawwwwww, curry looks almost as good as it tastes.
They kinda does that in DYRL, bunt we all know Zentradi is fucking dumb on Macross TV.
And that's not addressing Meer's shittiness, her "Forget Lacus" act to Athrun and everyone is bad for your stomach while watching Destiny.
I eat it at work my coworkers say it looks like puke *shrug
*nods*
Yeah, a lazy tsukkomi essentially makes me feel like this:
Now, watching the first minutes of Gintama 9, I'm already giggling as Gintoki hears Shinpachi and Kagura's inner monologue/narration and accuses them of feigning mental illness in middle of a burp match. Oh man.
Yeah but I felt bad for her when
she got killed.
Puchimas!!: 01
Everything about this is adorable.
WELCOME TO HNNNG

Subete no aware
Well then. lol
Yeah, it's more that bitchy girl basically gets to be a bitch and have nothing happen to her. Even a
suicide attempt
Seraphis Cain
bad gameplay lol
Why is Branduil using Novid's old avatar
Fed up with the industry, convinced Saban is why Hyouka wasn't licensed, etc.
Look at a calender.
Loved that entire cafe scene. It was at that point where the show completely sold me.

Oreki and Kyon are like my two favorite KyoAni leads. Just the complete opposite of what you'd expect of modern kyoani, or highschool shows for that matter. I think Hyouka is what got me interested in high school detective/noir genre, which is what lead me to watching Brick.
Unrelated to the above, have you guys seen the fake P5 trailer with all the random anime scenes? I especially love the Another footage.

He's looking for inspiration, unfortunately I don't think he'll give us anything to match Novid's best.
Yeah, it was made by some of the folks over in PersonaGAF, actually.
You have more fortitude than I, I only made it halfway.

Really? Hahaha didn't know that. I hope Atlus links to the video later on.

I still crack up every time I see the Zizek reference.
Wait what day is it again?

Like last year, Funimation is streaming PUCHIM@S 2
Wouldn't mind if they did a home release for these someday.
