Chuunibyou . . .
So...much...facepalm. So many feels from this anime, but I nearly spend more time rolling my eyes than not.

Quote:
Jormungand . . . I keep hearing great things about this. That said, the art irks me a lot, and I really want to watch it, but not really. Someone say more nice things about this so I can finally get off my ass and watch it.
The action scenes are amazing and the characters themselves are funny/quirky without going completely over the top. There are some very serious tones mixed in throughout, but it tries to remain upbeat even during the violent scenes. While this does sometimes put the dialogue at odds with the scene, you never forget that they're in the middle of doing something morally reprehensible, so it doesn't really detract.

Quote:
Sakurasou no Pet na Kanojo . . . Neked blondie says I need to give this a few more episodes before I give up, but they'd better explain why she acts so mentally fucking retarded. I swear, I'm surprised they didn't have a scene where he had to give her mouth to mouth because she forgot to breath, or one where he had to wipe her ass for her.
Fucking lol. The synopsis says:

Quote:
Sorata thinks to himself that he should protect Mashiro from the weirdos at Sakurasou, but Mashiro has a surprising secret: she has no idea how to take care of herself. She gets lost if she goes out, and her room is a complete mess. Sorata's dorm mates designate him as the "master" of Mashiro, and thus, an ordinary boy and a brilliant girl must live like "a master and his pet."
So in a more realistic (i.e. non-anime) setting, he'd have to wipe her ass for her. But this is anime. Being fucking retarded is supposed to be endearing. It's moe.

That said, I'm watching it for the plot.



Quote:
Magi . . . OH MY FUCKING GOD STUFF AND THINGS
This was good and I liked it a lot. I'd heard some people panning the inconsistent art/animation quality, but I thought it was awesome. I think I'm gonna pick up the manga if the show keeps my interest for another couple episodes.

Quote:
Sukitte Iinayo. . . . "Mei Tachibana has spent her 16 years without a boyfriend . . ." okay, fair enough. I'd be more disturbed if she had a boyfriend for all of those years, but, yeah, fair enough. "or friends." Oh dear. Someone say nice things about this so I can bother to watch it.
This was...shockingly good. I surprised myself by even considering watching it, but I'm glad I did. For a schoolgirl romance anime, Mei is surprisingly cynical. And I say that and not emo. It puts her characterization in a good place. She's not mopey or angsty because of her situation. No, she's just a loner. But then, being the mystery she is, the school bishounen takes an interest in her and things roll from there.

Quote:
Busou Shinki . . . Fapfapfapfapfap desu desu desu desu desu desu desu desu desu desu desu desu desu desu desu desu desu desu desu desu desu desu desu
My friend gave me shit when I told him I'm watching this, but it's just too cute! That, and the design team is the group that worked on Infinite Stratos, so it looks great. In or out of battle, the animation and overall design is what I want from a "robot combat" anime.

These fighting robots just so happen to be 15cm tall, distinctly female-looking, and call their people 'master.' Oh, Japan...

As for all the rest, I haven't picked up any others yet. I plan adding Shinsekai Yori, Robotics;Note, and Psycho-Pass to my list, but I want to wait and see if I drop any (like trollface-Chuunibyou) before I pick up even more.

So someone actually green-lit an Anime about the Console Wars. (Aoi Sekai no Chuushin De)



It's really bad. That said, the concept is hilarious, it might cross over into So Bad It's Good territory eventually.

Favorite anime of the season is funnily enough Chuunibyou-something-something. It's hilarious.

Anastasia is an epic troll.

And there was much rolling on the floor, laughing out loud.

So this has been bothering me every time I scroll past. How in the hell do you pronounce Animeeshon, is it like it's spelled with a long "E" or is it a long "A" sound?

An-ih-mee-shone?

or

An-ih-may-shone?

So it's the Japanese pronunciation, I see.
