If you zoom out far enough, you'll only find so many kinds of stories across all mediums. The devil's in the details.

True but "However, instead of living by himself after transferring to the elite Hatagaya Academy, he somehow winds up under the same roof as a bevy of beautiful girls!"

I mean thats so cookie cutter it absolutely hurts by now. The only twist is the flags thing.
Ill give it a chance but not expecting too much.

The dark twist is that the roof collapses as the protagonist enters the building and everyone dies under it

LOL. Then how can you claim that if you've never watched the show. Clannad After Story is one of the most highly acclaimed anime constantly ranking at the top of charts.

I don't really care about anime charts, everything I've heard about the show makes it seem like not my cup of tea, plus I consider Hyouka to be one of the greatest anime shows ever, so there.

Well in my opinion, Clannad After Story IS the greatest anime ever. So there. :)
 
Guys. I am in the D's of my MAL chart and it already says I have spent 60 whole days of my life watching anime.

And I still have E-Z to go through.

Is this my life? :,(

Holidays are over, but it's still the holidays for three weeks! Time to actually maybe watch some anime!

Captain Earth 1

Oh this is nonsense, but enjoyably so nonetheless. I just let the gobbledegook wash over me and suspend my wish to know who or what anyone is (it will all be revealed, the eye catch told me so!) and just revelled in the beautiful production values of the whole thing. Looking forward to more to see if it ends up making any sense!

Majin Bone 1

Why is Kounosuke Uda back doing kiddie TV shows again after Niji-iro Hotaru (even if i thought the film was mawkish sentimental claptrap that had no bearing on his directorial skills)? At least his involvement explains the surprisingly good direction and quasi-Hosodan flatshading etc. for a show that otherwise holds no interest for me. Worth watching once just for the pleasant visual surprise; I look forward to the potential MAD clips in future weeks.

Riddle Story of Devil 01

Finally.

The main reasons I'm watching this are for the yuri and for the sweet Maaya Uchida OP. No sign of Uchida herself in the show yet, but I have GochiUsa for that. I've seen this be called the yuri version of Danganronpa, just with more focus on the personal character interactions. I like Haru, and the rest of the classmates look quirky/deranged enough. I think it'll hold my interest, though I can't really get a feel for it until the first assassination game begins.

Well shiiiiiiit, I'm watching this tonight.

I dunno why SDBurton didn't describe the show to me like this. He let me down.
 
Yugi-oh Arc V - 01
Action duel battles ? pendulum summon ?a bunch of rules that you can't reproduce with normal deck play ? Horrible pink pig monster ?

Damn i'd wtach the second ep to see the rules in place but i don't like those deisgn at all ...

i couldn't bear zexal , but i'm not sure i'm going to bear watching this , unless they trim the overall set of rules.Heck i'm not even sure what rules they kept and what rules are gone ...

Will watch ep 2 . unless that one manage to satisfy me i'm going to drop this.
 
Hunter x Hunter 2011 124

And the award for best emotional scene in an anime goes to Killua, for his touching speech about Gon and the emotions that came forth for him and viewer alike.

This is the fourth time Killua has won an award, beating Leonardo DiCaprio as the favorite every single time.

No seriously, what an amazingly touching episode.
I'm glad Palm recovered her mental state, god damn she was scary. I'm also glad she still seems to deeply care about Gon, even though she once again cares about her master. Their date during that one episode was very sweet

Hyouka doesn't try to invoke maximum emotion through magic and melodrama. You shouldn't expect it to trigger After Story-esque waterworks.
You're right. It's only try to invoke boredom.
I watched a lot of Slice of Live anime, but those mundane mysteries were really nothing for me.
 
Best anime for me will forever be Cowboy Bebop. When I die, my tombstone will read

"Here lies Woofdawg. His greatest passions were Cowboy Bebop, his wife, video games, anime, and his children. In that exact order. They didn't visit enough."

The mysteries are there for the purposes of character development, not really as proper mysteries. Hyouka is all about the characters and their lives, and it has some downright fantastic dialogue.

Palm is such a badass. When she
sucker punched Pouf's minion into dust I was cheering.
Killua's speech was also really well done and emotional. Didn't feel forced at all.

even though she once again cares about her master.

I wonder if she'll still be interested in him once she sees his current state.
 
as in, he appears incapable of judging a show other than comparing it to Clannad, a problem you don't have

Or maybe he just likes the show? Lots of folks do.

Clannad AS is in my top 5. I've spent like 160 days of my life watching anime.

He just hasn't watched other anime with equally touching moments.

He hasn't seen Code Geass or TTGL. He's also currently watching Madoka. I suspect his horizons will most definetly be broadened once he's completed all of those.

Speaking of this MAL thing, I should also check how long I've spent watching anime as well.
