Well given what I've read I thought it was much worse, especially the brother.
Not everyone watches anime at the same time though..
Come on now.
cajunator is in a smutty/ecchi hentai doujinshi.
WELP
I could never get into it, it just bored me beyond belief.

The characters in this are pretty obnoxious. I can't say I enjoyed this episode, but I'll give it some more time to see if it settles down. Right now it feels like a poor man's Sakurasou.

I'm not sure anyone made that case. Gonzo just used to be able to produce a good show every now and then despite being Gonzo. Not so much anymore.

Do I need to watch this show now? Is it better than Smile? Is there anyone with Fukui-ben?!

Gotta say that was an enjoyable first episode. I liked the high energy of it, the silly overreactions and style changes it had going. The characters are pretty interesting while they do feel like character tropes they work well together and I wouldn't mind seeing where this goes.
I really liked the OP too so that's aplus.
Damn, that bloom. It's like Wandering Son on steroids.

Oh god. Why.
It's way better than Smile so far, but Smile was never very good in the first place, so I don't know how much that says.
Well I wasn't really going on summaries but rather book 1 and a smattering of manga chapters. Though summaries are added to that.
The part where you don't get your own emotions that you just got done having.

A nice little finale though nothing really groundshaking. Miuna
IN OTHER NEWS, just finished the first 13 episodes of Kokoro Connect and will soon be on way to finish the last 4/OVAs.

unfortunatly ends up with no one but it may work out in her favor because she deserves better than Hikari anyway.

This needs to happen now. Worst comes to worst to spice it up for an anime we can add a dinosaur student who plays a ukulele.
But what if it falls apart and you just loathe it by then?
A wall of dreams.
It was so awful I just couldnt bear going any further than 14. It was painful. And not LIST painful.
Dude, they have a word for THIS:

People keep posting stuff from this show.... Haruhi Suzumiya or this show first?
I make fun of this show a lot because it deserves it but I actually like parts of it.
Give it a shot.

Episode 4
Gai: Friend-kun, midterms are coming up so we should be studying
Lee: I AGREE
Gai: Why are you yelling?
Lee: BECAUSE THE BAND IS PRETTY LOUD
Gai and Lee walk to the library and study for a while. Cue ED. To Be Countinued
Haruhi first so you can save the best for last.
Wandering Son was classy.
That's what I did for Sengoku Collection until I made the shocking discovery that it wasn't actually bad.
Actual opinion on WIXOSS:
KViN on twitter described it as a mix of Yu-Gi-Oh, Fantasista Doll, and GeneiTaiyo, and, as hopefully the only person here who's seen enough of all three to know what this means, I assure everyone that it is a terrifying assertion to make. It's also shockingly accurate, however at least for now only in a mechanical and vaguely thematic sense, lacking the specific incompetencies that made Fantasista and GeneiTaiyo so horrible.
Yes, like Fantasista, there is a girl who suddenly comes into the possession of virtual girls in freaky anime clothing that she must battle against other virtual girls belonging to other girls. Like GeneiTaiyo, it's grimdark with an alternate world full of floating gears and shit where battles transpire. I guess kind of like a fusion of Yu-Gi-Oh!'s Duelist Kingdom and Battle City arcs, there's a gigantic elimination tournament engulfing an entire urban area with an incredible prize promised to the winner. In execution, I actually didn't think that it was all that bad, though. The protagonist is sympathetic--she lives with her grandmother in a little apartment and uses the titular WIXOSS card game to socialize with other people after finding out that her grandmother is worried that she's not making friends--and it avoids most immediate melodramatic excesses in spite of the fact that it is undeniably building to something darker. Maybe I'm crazy but I kind of felt like some of the backgrounds and scene framing succeeded at making Rumi appear "isolated" toward the beginning of the episode.
The big problem is that everything involving the actual card game is poorly-explained and weeb as fuck--the cards themselves are virtual moe girls who fight on an alternate plane and the protagonist's card girl in particular is psychologically somewhere between a kitten and a toddler. It remains to be seen just how grating this aspect ends up being, especially if they continue to gloss over or outright bullshit the game mechanics.
Oh, yeah, almost forgot--the protagonist's rival in the card game might want to fuck her brother. Because this is an average anime in the year 2014.
It's the better show.

Does this get wackier? Right now it's amusing, but not quite funny.

I just have to finish Haibane Renmei before I start but I haven't been able to watch it because the hotel I am staying in has crap internet that pauses the video every 5 seconds after 10 minutes of buffering. That's no way to watch anime.

Episode 5
Lee: Hey Normal-kun, how come everytime somebody asks about your parents you get really quiet and a look of despair comes unto your face? Do you have a really sad backstory like dead parents or sexual abuse or domestic violence?
Gai: No. I just remembered that I had to go grocery shopping earlier today and forgot. Mom is going to kill me.
Lee accompanied Gai to the grocery store and back to his house. He met his parents. They were lovely and made him feel right at home. CUE ED

Well I've got 2/3 of those three shows down. And while I can't speak to the Yu-Gi-Oh part, the rest of the comparison works. Though you seem to have liked the episode far more than i did.

The Kawai Complex Guide to Manors and Hostel Behavior Episode 1
Right, this was better then the last couple of shows but I am not sold on mainly because I can't stand a few of the characters here. One episode out and I already want to throw Mayumi into a wood chipper. I have known people like her in real life who were really fucking obnoxious drunks and I hate those people for they are awful. Also, not feeling the main romance here, probably because Usa comes across as more of a creepy stalker then a bumbling but lovable suitor. Really the show is being make by Sumiko who is straddling that difficult lovable pervert tightrope rather well and Shirosaki who might just be one of the best old lady characters ever. Alos, I am half convinced that Kawaki is either a lesbian, a robot or both based on her lack of a personality expect around females, given this is anime I would not be shocked to learn if that was indeed the case. Five shows in and Majin Bone is still the best of the lot, that was unexpected.

I liked it too. It wasn't as bad as AnimeGAF likes to make it out to be.
I hate having to remember these long names. Luckily Otaku are lazy so theres usually a nickname.
Smile is the best Precure.
Artwise I would say so. I loooooove those eyes.
Yes make that your number one priority.

AnimeGAF mostly dislikes the source material, the adaptation isn't bad given what they are working with.
Zeta Gundam 20
So I have to say that I enjoyed this arc a lot the second time around. Kamille does some growing up, Amuro matters in a way that isn't forced, and Four is as good as Tomino writing a messed up woman can expect to be. Especially because Four and Kamille have actual chemistry, and because Four's character is decidedly not determined by her need for dick.
On that note, Beltorchika Irma is the Carlie Cooper of Gundam women and I hate her SO much.

I have my limits. Pablo did Brothers Conflict too and Ikuhara storyboarded the ED and I only survived a single episode.
Also not a slam dunk. Nafe once convinced me to watch Yuushibu cuz of the eyebrows and I lasted six minutes.
At the very least you'll probably appreciate how freeform and subversive it is compared to the other seasons you've watched, and if you liked Brian you'll love Seiji. Also it's loaded with social anxiety. LOADED. lol
Not likely. The whole thing is basically Toei's mea culpa for Doki. I feel like there's a clear plan this season.
I'm not familiar with the manga, but I got this impression just from the bit I watched. It was executed pretty well considering what they had, and it was a solid romcom at times, but I really couldn't stand the whole keys setup, and I knew it wouldn't go away so it didn't really feel worth it to me to keep watching.
Man that show was SO GOOD
The thing is, I'm much more forgiving of some of the stuff because I unironically love Yu-Gi-Oh so I'm kind of predisposed to liking card battle shows to begin with. Like I said, parts of the episode were suparbad but I also feel like there's still enough struggling against that that I'll keep watching, at least for now. If it ever sets off any real Fantasista alarms with me I won't even need to think about jumping ship.
