So far so good in this 10 episode long (each 10 minutes) series. What really sells this is the visuals which I'll let the fantastic OP do all the talking for as it's really hard to put into words. It's kinda like a more restrained version of the stuff you'd see in Yuasa's work.
It also stands in contrast to the use of CG which ranges from pretty decent to bad and even downright horrifying as this ED demonstrates. Jesus christ.
Will watch more.

Man that is some great background art. I see veteran Shichiro Kobayashi handled the art direction.
Mmm dat sakuga.
I'm sure Ufotable does.
It's almost as if these cartoons were made in Japan!

Taiga's starting to grow on me.
Youll probably just fall in love with her and be jealous of Ryuuji.
I can't imagine they had a proportionate amount of irl tailors, workmen etc. I guess the 'game systems' cover it somehow regarding the skill systems and stuff.

So has Yuasa mentioned Yellow Submarine as an influence? Because these last few episodes felt hella Yellow Sub to me (although way darker obviously).
Anyway, this was a fantastic series. Engaging, funny, surprisingly warm, and weeeeeeeird. Especially in the last third or so. I really loved The Tatami Galaxy, so it's saying a lot that I think this might've exceeded it. If you have a love of the surreal, you should definitely check this show out. You will probably not be disappointed!
Since I finished this way sooner than I expected, I might complete the Yuasa cycle and watch Kaiba soon.
That monkey though. Let's see if I took a pic I can use as an avatar.
Man, that last ending arc was daaark and trippy as hell. Really cool stuff, and Bon remains always bro-tier. I'm glad it had a happy ending though, even with all of the people who died (Kazuma ;_
. Despite being dark and violent, it overall had a surprisingly idealistic tone to it. "I want to believe in that illusion"
Man, Ooba was a creepy villain. He was like the king Blue Meanie if he was a shape shifting monster businessman.

Yeah, I made the right choice to put off watching this until I'd finished the anime. Would have felt really out of place otherwise (plus, technically it takes place after the anime finishes anyway).
Supporting cast were hilarious in this. As for the main story of it...

dislocating her shoulder is a way more serious outcome than I expected for a comedy side story, even if it probably doesn't have an effect on the main plot. I mean, usually the "create a storm of misunderstandings" plots like this don't really cause any trouble. She's practically a goddess herself for actually forgiving him.

Have you seen Mindgame? If you enjoyed this youll probably like it.
Oh yeah, I need to watch that too. Thanks for reminding me!
I feel my import hand moving for my wallet ;_;
It feels very similar. Yuasa has a very distinct style. Not everyone likes it though. Yuasa does kind of beat the viewer in the head with his message in Mindgame.
Haha, yeah. I'm obviously a fan, but I can fully understand why someone wouldn't like his style.
Anyway, here's what I know you've all been waiting for: the preview for the final episode of Chuunibyou Ren.

I am very ok with this.
going out on an ugly episode. :l
Rurouni kenshin ep50
Not much of fight at all they fought for like a minute only for kenshin yu-gi moto to switch to verbally & mentally beating aoshi then mind crushing him.
Hunter x hunter ep120
This is one my favorite episode it's astonishing what morell is capable of with such little resources, goes to show being a swagged out tactical genius goes a long way.
I cracked up at the part he lied to youbi
Space dandy Episode 5
This is episode is so Terrible cliche that it hurts to watch, the script so bad it's typical Anime movie script levels of bad.
It's absolutely ridiculous that people got paid for this.
Worse then episode 3 but still not as bad as 1 making it the second worse episode of space dandy.
3/10
Space dandy Episode 6
I've seen this type of story done lots of times before, of two similar/parallel sides locked in an never ending conflict problem here is I've seen it executed a million times better, with this episode being the weakest execution of it I can think of.
Dandy living out his silly surfing dream ending was cool but not enough to make up for having to go through samey boring scenes & conversation about pants/vests.
4.5/10
One piece 637
Bartolomeo is literally taking the piss what a troll, I liked how the to be continued was in his eye.
What's odd is that the episode had more blood then it's manga counter part.

This block B shit is awesome, a bunch of varied badass from all across the seas fighting in a Gladiator style royal rumble.....sign me the fuck up.
"Are you not entertained!" Now that's a bad ass fatality scene right there, animated by toei's yoshikazu tomita
Cool sword fighting animation this Masked fighter reminds of Guts from berserk......could it be Guts.....maybe he had enough of being in berserk jumped ship to find the one piece
animation by toei's Takara Isamu

This episode was pretty cheap looking, with corners cut in spots that make certain scenes seem weirdly unimportant. At least there was good background art, but Weekend was a terrible character and the entire confusing arc she brought with her was dumb and boring. Chronoire tries to save this episode but she can only do so much.

Mitsuki's motivations as character are so bipolar.
Again, Yuzu and Kaede are the best characters in the show, and they're not even the one's kissing each other!

Another Koyasu Precure villain?! That's the fourth Koyasu character in Precure now (unless there have been even more in those series I haven't watched yet xp)
Not that I can complain.
EDIT: Here, have a PrecureKoyasu rogues gallery for shits and giggles.
WHO IS BEST KOYASU?!
Mmmmm, can't wait.
Girl? What girl? I don't see any creepy girl.
you'll get it once the first episode airs

This is almost over and I don't think with the way it's going they'll reach 'that' part of the manga.
A shame.

They let you do the driving test with only 90% ? Such wimps.
RIP Seki-kun though. He should have adjusted his deal.
That being said they whole fun part is overcoming the trial.

Well that was underwhelming.
Well that was underwhelming.
The cheating subplot once again undermines a battle, and makes it far less compelling. Does anyone prefer this over a straight up fight between the finalists? And another predictable Build Knuckle finish.
I've posted in these threads before in the past, although very sporadically. It matches my viewing habits.
Wasn't too impressed by Noragami. The sum of the series was pretty dull to me although there were good moments.

Ok i havent watched large chunks of anime and... years. Mostly periodically here and there, while i read manga. I would like to change that, and before you say " we have an OP for what you are about to ask " I already know and will check them out.
This is what I am posting for
Recently, My Sister is Unusual
The description of this in the OP is so hilarious i am considering watching this to see how bad this actually is. So I have questions to ask before I go find this
Is it actually bad or is the OP being Ironic
If the first question is true, is it just bad or creepy bad.
If the 2nd question is the latter, is Ikki tousen levels of bad where as you wish you never watched it. And you learn that it stole a shit ton of things, and the more you think on it the worse it gets so you just try to remove it from your memory all together. Or is it watchable and laughable

I wouldn't say it's actually bad, it's just very, very lewd and full of fetishisation. It can certainly be amusing if you decide to laugh at just how shameless it is.
It's also not actually about pee fetishes, they just happen to feature prominently in the first episode. Which I'm sure is all a lot of people watched =p

They finally updated the F/SN site, but they still haven't uploaded a direct feed version of the new trailer. Boo!

I made it through two episodes. I suppose if you approach it from this perspective it might have some entertainment value. However, I highly doubt I'll ever go back to watch any more of it.
Yea, I'm highly annoyed right now as we probably won't get another fight as detailed as that between Meijin and Reiji. It almost feels like a lack of confidence in the directing in that they needed anything to spice it up. At least G Gundam knew better than this garbage.
The Masters image is hype.

Ugh I just can't get excited for something with Shirou. I'm hoping that Ufotable can at least do a half decent job with FSN.
That was my reaction...hence calling the show 'the ghost rapist show'. And it does seriously bother me. And its one of the many reasons I could never get into hentai...the prevalence of rape.
If you're honestly hoping the writing is going to be better, I would say bail ship. Shirou is Shirou, but I'm sure he'll be better than the Deen version and probably closer to the VN version. if you hate some of his personality characteristics, I doubt much of that will change.
He honestly isn't that bad of a lead and compared to 90% of anime leads, he's a vast improvement on the characterization level.

A pretty solid ending with fantastic fight scenes. I doesn't particularly dazzle in plot though they leave some interesting foreshadowing primarily with Nora.

Given I liked the Deen one and I failed to get into Fate/Zero I expect I'll just skip this, unless I can be convinced after its been running a while.

You are the second person I've ever met you liked Deen's FSN and couldn't get into FZ so.. congrats on being "unique"~

Bit hard to be unique if theres two of us
For me though with FZ, it was I think purely that I felt I wasn't interested in hearing the backstory for FSN. I got all that I needed from the tidbits in FSN. And part of that might just have been marathoning FSN and planning to do the same with FZ. Breaking it up might have done me some good.

I imagine it's still better than those people who have to print various anime [REDACTED] on those free ArtsCow mousepads.

If knowing what already happened put you off from F/Z, maybe the ufotable F/SN might be new to you if they adapt different elements of the VN (unless you've already played the VN).
Or not if it's a Fate adaptation lol.
