Congratulations! You're an anime fan, and therefore a creepy pedophile.

Some of the funniest things I've ever seen were ridiculous Sonic crossovers on deviantart, like the Sonic soup nazi.

It'd be funny if it wasn't true!
Also, this is when people start bringing up DTL's AnimeGAF slashfiction list again.
Giant Robo final thoughts
So this series was a treat, guys. Like, I really, really enjoyed it. Imagawa does a great job directing Super Robot series. He's practically a king of escalation of intensity in these kinds of shows. The mechanical animations were superb, with this glorious indulgence in places and rings and cords and bolts and nuts which sometimes didn't even need to be there but were anyway.
Like Shin Mazinger Z, Imagawa seems to draw from multiple unrelated sources to craft the story. In this case we had a bunch of samurai running around in a giant robot story with a kid who looks like Mega Man in short pants. There were so many awesome, heroic sacrifice movements throughout the work, too. I dunno what it is but nobody gets my eye juice flowing like Imagawa does. Whether it be G Gundam, Shin Mazinger Z or Giant Robo, dude always wrings my eyes dry.
Episode 5 was my favorite, I think. Tetsukyu has this ridiculously manly moment where he confronts Ginya that put me in goosebumps. Episode 7 is a close second, though. There were so many ridiculously cool points there, from
to Daisaku deciding to actually pilot Robo. Ginya's
was amazing, and Frenchie McFrench dude was hilarious the whole way through.
Like Shin Z, though, Giant Robo ended on a cliffhanger that will never be resolved. Kinda tears my heart out. I need me some more Imagawa after that ride, though. If you're a fan of giant robots and haven't seen Giant Robo yet, I recommend this one for sure. Excellent show.

DTL's AnimeGAF slashfic is still a masterpiece.

I'm intrigued about what slashfiction means, but knowing it's from DTL means I should keep away lol

and thats why google safe search is always on when looking at images. I remember the time when I searched xaolin showdown on google images when I was younger. Sometimes I hate the internet.
H-how do you not know what a slash is?

I mean I had an inkling that it was sexual, google just confirmed it. The part of "usually between people of the same sex" meant that indeed it is
TLThere is no Sonic X Haibane Renmei. It has been spared!
Its true. Ask NFLGaf hehee
Once upon a time DTL paired up AnimeGAF users and specified who was Uke and Seme or whatever. Laughs were had.
And now for something completely different!

It's depressing how much better this show looks than Wake Up, Girls in the visuals department. And of course it has a few hundred times more cheerfulness and positivity, but that's to be expected. Not every idol anime can be gritty cynical idol anime.
Also, these girls could teach the Sakura Trick cast a thing or two. If you don't like your school getting shut down, STOP it from getting shut down! Yeah!

Once upon a time, instead of using & or x to indicate a pairing people used /. Since all fanfiction is written by 14 year old girls who are deeply into yaoi, / became most commonly associated with that. Therefore "slash" came to be the slang for yaoi fanfics.
I know this because I read it online and definitely not because I hail from a bygone era in which fanfiction was a popular thing on the internet.

macodin x abf is the one pairing that should be there.

For a couple months now, on some popular artists's new work there's usually about a dozen of the nosebleed girls in a row and it's hilarious.
Funimation doubling up on announcements for the day -- they will also be simulcasting Kenzen Robo Daimidaler.
https://twitter.com/FUNimation/status/451480474679255040
Saturdays at 5:30am EDT for this one.

Also a good choice. Makes sense since they had HSDxD, and this is more or less the mecha version of that.

Toradora FINAL VERDICT
This was an enjoyable show, with cute characters and situations. It was also an exercise in frustration, and relied way too much on emotional whiplash. The characters were really well-developed, though, so you almost felt like you knew them and could occasionally understand their motivations. Overall, I'd recommend it if you like slice-of-life or romance with a dash of comedy, but don't expect to find it satisfying overall. It's pretty much the F.R.I.E.N.D.S. of anime.

Might be my favourite ep.
So ummm...I guess I should watch Natsuiro Kiseki...
Yes!
I loved that show. I wish there was more of it ;_;

American modernism!
One thing I've noticed in this first handful of episodes is that the end of episode narrations are delivered by Akari instead of Hiroyuki. While he's at the center of events, she's sharing protagonist duties, and I can appreciate that. Of the girls intro'd today, I like Rio a little more than Kotone with her clumsy nature, though Kotone having psychic powers is already a sign that this world isn't quite the normal high school life it appears to be. It mostly is, but there are a few wrinkles of the extraordinary.
I've seen plenty of sports festival episodes, and this one was pretty enjoyable. The main characters don't win, but it's an admirable effort at least. Everything is familiar, but it's not bad. It's almost certain the director's chosen the Akari route for this one, because going with someone other than the main girl is a rarity. (Or going with nobody.)

Need to do a write-up for the series. I have tears in my eyes, what a great heart-warming show. Two episodes in particular are just impossible to not cry on.
This thread lost me again.
Catching up and I see I missed /XX/.
Oh well, at least he stopped for a visit. That museum thing he posted about sounds like it could be interesting.
Also, I really think I'm going to have to try and look at Record of Lodoss War.

I would like to have cat like Nyanko sensei. How great it would be to drink booze with your cat. Not to mention that he could transform to cute girl. Damn.

Kaiji S2 13-26 -END-
And maaaaaaaaaaaaan I can't believe how Kaiji even does this shit. How does he end up like that at the end how?!
So yeah, S1 made its point about gambling a lot better I feel and having all this end like it did kinda feels like a pisstake at this point. So S1 > S2. And did Kaiji ever tell
Yeah I stand by my "The Bog" assessment. It took them 6 fucking episodes or more to actually get any shit done after this screenshot was taken and the actual fight took even longer. The last few episodes were just PAIN. AWESOME pain mind you but pain nonetheless.
:lol
And maaaaaaaaaaaaan I can't believe how Kaiji even does this shit. How does he end up like that at the end how?!
He even lost his last 600k on pachinko in a night? You have got to be shitting me.

The fight with Kinkel was pretty exciting.
Hazuki's special skill being a daywalker is neat and Elfriede becoming a part of the regular cast is very good.
The fight with Kinkel was pretty exciting.
A vampire without the obvious weakness to the sun is a very interesting fight.
The two personalities melding is kind of confusing. Man i forgot that Kouhei so dumbly said that it was a favor. At the very least say she your friend.
I don't think I was on when this-
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH.
Kinda want to see a justification now, haha.

Extremely satisfying arc conclusion. So many great things in there too like the librarian's life being counted backwards or the student protest flashbacks. Also that pun really was super lame but holy shit did it work in context. :lol
I'd say I wish I'd watched this earlier but I think I did right by waiting for the right mood to sit down and give it a chance. Lovely show so far.

Kinda want to know what poor Jgminto did to get stuck with me. It must've been a very tsundere courtship, though.
