the type of sexual abuse of a minor depicted in sunoharasou would no doubt be consider outrageously offensive were the gender situation reversed.

why won't they leave this little boy alone?

New Sunohara-sou no Kanrinin-san ep is subbed your welcome

this moment would have been a lot more touching if the artist hadn't gone to the extra effort to draw in panty lines. what the fuck, what a fucking prude, this whole fucking series is a nonstop misandry cockblock festival, i am pissed off in lower case. just because i'm a lazy neet who can't put in the effort to use the shift key doesn't mean i don't have feelings. the first episode was incredibly misleading and arousing, but the rest is just frustrating.
fuck you japan fuck you and your bait and switch bitchery. i've been gypped i've been japped. fucking japsies, never trust a fucking japsie. sunohara is the worst anime ever

This is probably the only anime currently airing that seems like I'd actually enjoy it. It looks pretty creative compared to all the other shows that look like they're just recycling another trope/popular genre.

Yeah... even if you're doing it intentionally that's a pretty hard one to pull off there.

I don't think they care if they piss off otaku.

Not them, but "Clannad" fits.

it probably helps a lot that I actually liked the characters and their struggles (especially Desu/Death and scorpion girl)

>Sega Hard Girls
Never thought I'd see this on anyone's list. One would think most people would have hated it if they didn't completely overlook it due to it coming across as a low budget advert for sega and it's games. If I remember correctly, weren't those "actual sega characters" completely silent due aside from some stock audio clips due to having no VAs? Or was that just sonic and eggman?

>>31665
from what I can recall, the only character a voice actor would have even made sense for outside of sonic and eggman is maybe lala. the rest never speak, even in their own games, outside of stock audio clips. I actually thought it added to the humor when jeffrey showed up and *still* only said "I win" all the time.

I recently finished Air. I enjoyed the atmosphere of it, and the flashback episodes reminded me a lot of Utawarerumono, although that came out later. It got me interested in reading the VN. I also found Misuzu cute and lovable.

I've been working through the original slayers, and I gotta say. it was just a fun show until amelia showed up. now the last three episodes hurt my face from how much I was laughing

Recently I finished the original Pripara, the Spinoff of the pretty rhythm series, and began the following Idol Time series (only 50 eps so why not) among some other things like picking up where I left on the third season of Ojamajo Doremi. This series did pretty well, in my opinion. I liked many of the characters, although there were some odd ones thrown in and some weird decisions made I think. First and once more they had one character which was of course one of the girlier ones in the show that happened to be a boy, course this has been done before plenty but not too often in kids shows from what I've seen. And, since it is a kids show, not sure if it's just me but they seemed to not reference this fact later on nearly as much. Really wouldn't know how parents in Japan take to that sort of thing. Anyway, this lead to an awkward situtation or two in the show itself when you could tell the animators didn't really know what to do. Take this one pool ep, they were in regular male swim trunks but was shown wearing a sweater to cover the chest area because of course it would be odd showing their chest, just due to looks. Now this isn't the end, this character has a twin sister who looks basically identical side from hair color, which they put a sweater on her too (she was wearing a regular female swimsuit of course) to make it not seem as weird, I think. There is some other gender bending going on in the show but nothing that would bother anyone. Lot of great characters though, esp Aroma and Mikan. Seems to be what a lot of these kids idol anime rely on, really. Anyway, from what I remember the show actually is split into three seasons (ep1-50, 51-100, 101-140) each with an overarching story sorta. First was very typical but good. Second was not so typical but good. Third season half turned into yet another baby raising anime as if there aren't enough of those. Did rather like the music as the show went on though, felt like it got better as the show went on. Other than that, it's too early to comment on Idol time as I've seen 5 eps. I'm having a hard time wanting to watch more of Doremi just becuase it's another baby raising anime (half way forgot that fact), which isn't bad, just rather not watch two in a row. Feels like I have to go out of my way to space out idol anime and other various types of shows.

Message too long. Click here to view the full text.

I'm currently watching Irresponsible Captain Tylor. The first half of the show is a lot of fun but in the second half they've decided to focus on a more "serious" overarching plotline which isn't as enjoyable as the appeal of the show (to me at least) was the absurd comedy and it parodying other sci-fi anime from the time. I guess all parody anime are doomde to become what they were trying to make fun off in the end.

Yeah, it had an unique aesthetical style and a lot of the more episodic stories were pretty interesting to watch but the main story was like a chore to sit through. It would have worked better if it had been written like one of those "silent wanderer" shows (Kino's Journey, Mushishi, Mononoke) where it would have been about Casshern just kind of walking around and exploring some aspect the post-apocalyptic world every episode.

Do people still give a shit about this series? (I don't get out much) It was hot shit during the first season, but with the direction it's gone in I can't see it being half as popular anymore.

Pretty cool episode.

>>31694
The older I get, the harder it is for me to care about a show's popularity. The execution has been pretty consistent since the beginning, it's just the story became seemingly more complicated due to all the things that were intentionally left out until recently.

>>31703
>the story became seemingly more complicated due to all the things that were intentionally left out until recently.
You mean how the creator was unable to decide on a direction for the series and if he wanted it to be an action adventure, mystery, or political thriller?

Why is it always a remote TROPICAL island? Did Robinson Crusoe start this trend?

>>31667
Because it's fun, Jan!

How hard can it be to make this thing fade into night?

Didn't really expect things to go in this sort of direction...

Sigh, also why do so many anime directors think exhibition dumps are a good idea? "After all we live in a world covered in unending winter where we can't live anywhere but the island and everyone's starving while the birthrate plummets. we could really use a hero to help us out..." <- Who the fuck talks like this? come on!

>>31580
Oh wow. That's... kinda sad.

>>31577
I dunno I didn't think the Pachinko thing was that bad. When it aired I was really curious to see how kaiji could beat a machine. Up until then every challenge had a human element behind them and were winnable as long as he overcame that element. The Bog on the other hand seemed like an impossible challenge. He wasn't set up to play some twisted game with a convoluted win state, or fight some cheating prick who he could beat by outsmarting them. The bog was a cold soulless machine designed and programed to be unbeatable. I was disappointed he beat it by mostly sabotaging the machine, but even then it was neat how so much of that arc played out like a heist. ...so much so they might as well have just robbed a bank, but yeah...
It was clearly the start of the decline for sure but it could have been worse.

>They are still doing this after they ran out of ideas halfway into the last Kaiji season?
It's a prequel by the way, not a sequel. like >>31580 said they aren't bringing anything new to the table, it's the (boring) story of how the original rock paper scissors game was made in universe. -Why- they felt the need to explain and animate the process of a comity creating the game is anyone's guess.

>>31630
I was on board with the pachinko machine arc until the sixth miracle in a row. they really should've ended that arc sooner, once the plan went out the window and they needed pure luck it should've only happened once or twice instead of the pure luckfest it ended up being.

This is basically an anime version of the office.

Episode 19 was pretty good, with continued suffering as usual. Sadly, episode 20 didn't air last week, so that's a bummer.

>why
Because he somehow didn't hear the helicopter coming.

This episode was superb and can't wait for four more. This is probably the last time I'll watch a seasonal anime, I just can't deal with the waiting. Back on topic, I really didn't expect the current outcome and I feel that's a good thing because it changes the formula a little bit while taking advantage to give the viewers what they want without making a mess while simultaneously surprising them. Hopefully the upcoming episodes will be as good or better as this one.

This episode was fantastic as well. This is so excruciating, why can't I just sleep for an entire week and wake up when the episode is up?

Some NEETs are in denial.

I'm not sure if I like the direction precure is heading...

Holy shi-

>>31680
Well that was disappointing. Aside from some last ep baton passing in the past two seasons, we've never seen precure from previous seasons meet up like this outside of the movies which always felt like they existed in their own sort of canon.
It was cool seeing the strongest precure show up to completely own this enemy, but it was disappointing and kind of jarring how they were swept into the background almost as soon as they showed up. There's very little interest shown into how they got there or why, what their own experiences as precure were like, who or what they fought, what they can learn from each other, how many others are out there and so on. Instead they're treated like cousins visiting from out of town there to just hang out and not get in the way as the main characters deal with main character issues. "Who gives a shit if precure from an alternate dimension or something just fell out of the sky, our friends are having a mild disagreement of some sort." But to be fair, one of their friends is an android so I guess at this point nothing would surprise the main cast. Still, even if it is just a cheap gimmick in a show made for kids, I would have loved to see them do more with the cross over, like explore the connection between all the different precure groups and do some world building or something. The cross over movies never really touch on this and basically toss all the characters together like they're just part of a big club hanging out untill a bad guy starts trouble. Maybe I was expecting too much, but I was hoping for something here, anything, and got nothing. It does make me wonder if we'll see more of this in the future.

(and yeah I realize at the time of posting this I'm really far behind, so sue me.)

>>31681

But the bad guys ended up doing the same thing, getting lumped into the other precure worlds, and having an overall grand 'ol time.

While I agree that more cross-series character bonding would be amazing, there's so god damned many of them that a single movie wouldn't give enough time to really do it justice -- which is made all that much worse when they add in a new girl and waste the entire movie on her.

What we really need is a more expanded version of all the cures split into teams by color and playing juumangi-like board games against each other.

Also, world building goes out the window in many ways just to make the crossover: it generally messes up the timelines of the series itself in order to bring back dead enemies, while at the same time using the 'old' precure attacks from the beginning/middle of their respective series inspite of the newer mid-season cure already being there.

I know this might fall into a grey area with the rules.
