Some of us only care about the opinions of people here. That's why we're here after all. The wider anime watching community is a fucking cesspool.

Because I'm entirely open to discussion on such matters and want to contribute to the thread as a whole.
Some of us want more room for discussion like this, while you're trying to shoot it down.
This is pretty much how I remember the show - very silly, and mostly about being an SD pig girl
It may amuse you to note - if you weren't already aware - that there is a dub of this show, entitled Super Pig!, which aired certainly in the UK if not elsewhere. I have no idea how many episodes I saw, but it's one of those curious quirks of anime around the world that we got it and... virtually no-one else did.
Hah, I saw that an English dub was produced for some South American TV markets, but I didn't realize it was for the UK market as well. Regardless, it's apparently hard to find these days and I only learned of this show while digging through various magical girl titles that I had yet to look into. I forget if I learned of the Nanami connection before or after I started watching, but the silliness of the concept was enough to bring to try it.T-t-that's Super Pig (over here) ! I'll never forget the opening and the number of pig related stories my brother, friends and me did. lol
Edit: Fuck! Now I'm on a nostalgia trip instead of studying.
It's been an observed pattern that as soon as some start to get elaborate with their posts others whine about it. Let's not do that unless there's actually a problem with the size and number of pictures used.I don't know what you're accusing me of , but i'm quite sure you've misunderstood me.
I'm not against discussion.
and besides if you need so many pictures to bring your point across , then i'm unsure that this discussion is fit for a regular forom.
And this remark is not for you in particular but in general.
An interesting experiment would be to watch the movie in lieu of the series or before the series, but I don't know if you'd want to be a guinea pig.Alright I am starting Anohana.
I've been told this show is a very emotional show in the vein of Clannad AS. So in respect of this when I do my episode impressions it won't be the "stream of consciousness" type of impressions like I usually do. I think this show might deserve my full and undivided attention. Just letting you guys know. It's just for this series. Plan on going back to it for G Gundam and TTGL.

Is there an actual elitist anime forum? The only ones I'm aware of are AS, MAL, and 4chan. None of those would qualify as elitist or selective.
4chan is a bit more aggressive though. Like when GAF made teh AOTY thread, they were all "Hyouka? What fucking losers"
Well, I guess the omake keeps that younger side of her.
My advice is to forget all about 4chan. It went totally downhill once I stopped posting there. True facts.4chan is a bit more aggressive though. Like when GAF made teh AOTY thread, they were all "Hyouka? What fucking losers"

Lots of talk, Ashram gets some depth. Mostly ok with the character designs but internally debating if Deedlit's is appropriate. She's a long lived high elf who had an immature streak in the OVA but this is five years after the war of heroes and she appears and sounds older (thanks to the new VA) so torn between deciding upon bad downgrade or illustrating some maturity on her part.
...

Again, anime is a highly visual medium, and pictures provide context in a way that mere text cannot.In fact some of the pics have resulted in me picking up new anime
For what it's worth, they would have said the same regardless of what won.

The whole point of our metadiscussion earlier was to move the thread in a more positive direction and swing the pendulum towards critical discussion. Jexhius's use of images is easily justified and the post was highly illuminating overall.That's why i said that this wasn't a comment toward you in particular but maybe that one ? and another that happenned this morning.
Not a matter of being elaborate, maybe that if people whine about it there is a reason that people might be annoyed ? again nothing personnal about your post or the way it is elaborated but i feel that a middle ground is possible so that everyone can be happy about it.

This made me laugh. Such bros.
I think Branduil said what I wanted to say. I think all I'd want is a bit more of a connection between music and synaesthesia, if only because anime gives you a chance to do things with sound and imagery that you can't get away with anywhere else. The fact that it was a dream instead was a slight disappointment.
Still, for a short story about people trying to connect to each other, it was nice. Branduil said it reminded him of Chuu2 or Aura, but for me it reminded me of Garden ofFeetWords and how two people from different worlds can come together through music and a dream.
There are actually a few characters on the official site that aren't in the OT, but they didn't have usable Tsunako art so nuts to them! S2's definitely only covering vols 5-7 though, so no Natsumi (witchy).You should expect everyone that was in the DATE A LIVE S2 OT
It's quite hard to talk with much depth about a visual medium without pictures. You can talk about your own response to the work or the script without images, I suppose, but for anything else they're fairly helpful.and besides if you need so many pictures to bring your point across , then i'm unsure that this discussion is fit for a regular forom.
And this remark is not for you in particular but in general.
I'm not against discussion but still when you're posting those kind of things on a regular basis , why not just create a blog and post the link here ? or better make a abbridged version of the post here with a link to the full version ?
Just saying.

There's already more than enough room for inane blather.

That deedlit is terrible. The other deedlit though. I think I'll just watch the omake.Record of Lodoss War: Chronicles of the Heroic Knight 2

Yup. Just came out on BD as well, in Japan anyway.There's a movie?
Well at least someone read my post.
I didn't pick up on the synesthesia comparison, I just thought her parents were jerks, LOL. And it gave Yoshiura a chance to indulge in robot imagery once again.
Garden of Words is an interesting comparison, but I'd say one key difference is that Shinkai's film ends withthe characters finally communicating with each other honestly, while in Harmonie there's still an element of misunderstanding.
He should just cut the post when it gets to 'the good part' and paste the rest of it encrypted then sell the key to the rest.Jexhius' post would be no different, except perhaps being more disjointed, if he broke it up into individual posts for each topic he covered. It's not like he was spamming pictures just because, he was using every picture as support for an argument, like quotations in an academic paper. It would've been more annoying, actually, if he took a single episode review and broke it up into fragments.
Look, I have yet to see a specific complaint from you other than a kneejerk response to seeing a lot of pictures. It's true that you can't please everyone, so you have to make decisions on how best to cater to your desired audience. It's also entirely true that pictures can be overused and large filesizes or dimensions present problems with page loading and display, but was that an issue here?Well i'll finish on this :
Wow. What a powerful first episode. It shares some traits with Little Busters calling their own group something like Super Busters.
Looks like I'll have to be adding that to my list! Thanks.Harmonie
Well, that hit uncomfortably close to home. It's funny how I keep ending up watching anime dealing with social dysfunction lately.

I did watch this dubbed, as I feel that it's appropriate for a vaguely medieval European setting. The acting did seem a bit stilted, but I'm hoping it improves as the series progresses.
The power of 10 eps only.

Anyways I think that's the first time I had the first episode of something get my eyes a little watery. I very much look forward to watching the rest if this show.
I don't remember the first couple episodes being all that emotional. If you're getting the feels now there's gonna be no hope for you by the end.
Well, except that the ED is basically the, which makes me assume that they do connect at the end and have a shared moment anyway. Of course, the fact that the kids talk about it earlier kind of makes me assume that was the ending they were going for as well...dream played out in full glory
The synaesthesia thing occurred to me only because he talked about the colours of the symbols on her non-ipod. I thought they'd do something with that, but they didn't.
that's not really your blog is it?I posted the rest of my images here.
