Me too man, me too...

I keep forgetting to reply to this thread.
This would have been a very forgettable anime if not for the unorthodox ending. Normally anime tries to drive the 'you must always face your problem and never run away' line like a mantra - without ever bothering to explain why exactly that's a good idea - so just letting the character take the easy way out feel fresh.
I Machi's idea this won't result in anything good most likely, I can tell by my own example.

>Was that really for the best? Giving up on city life like that? Seemed like getting out of the boonies was a big deal to her, so is it really okay to give up on her hopes and dreams? After all, the stuff that made her decide to give up on city life was all in her head.
I don't think so. It was her dream after all. I could understand a girl paralysed from the waist, down due to an unfortunate accident, giving up on any sports or dance-related dreams but Miko's reasons for abandoning her dreams were purely of a psychological nature and that's why her failure feels unsatisfactory to me.
I feel that if Yoshio had been a bit more considerate of Miko and the nature of her transition, it could've worked. The episode where she was selling samples was tough for her but I considered that to be a good push beyond her comfort zone. Pushing her into becoming an idol, however? That had predictable results. It was far too much, far too soon. I feel like if Yoshio had just been a bit more understanding and patient and pushed Miko through a more gradual transition, Miko could've matured into someone capable of doing the things Yoshio desired but instead, Yoshio, blinded by his own ambition (albeit a selfless one), proceeds to push Miko too far, ultimately destroying the little will she had.
Also, if you pay attention to the 4-komas at the end of the final four episodes, you'll realise that this is what she's like after the mind-break. She's always hungry and she has that dead look in her eyes. I believe deep down, she still wants that dream. The desire's there. It's just that her will was crushed.

>Machi's complex got the best of her and all of the strain from trying so hard to fight it left her tramatised.
I disagree. I think she tried to do (or rather, was pushed into doing) too much at once.

>I disagree. I think she tried to do (or rather, was pushed into doing) too much at once.

It was because she was forced into doing too much that her complex ended up breaking her up.

See, I assumed you just weren't familiar with English. But now I know you're a pseudo-intellectual douche desperate for attention.

>>28675
I'm >>28654, but not >>28672. They're (he is) someone else.
I was under the impression both "her" or "they/them/their" were acceptable in these sort of situations. I wasn't aware that "him & her" was required once gender was established. Sorry if I was incorrect and for any trouble I might have caused. English is essentially my third language.

>>28676
no, he/her is not always needed, they is always fine. some people are just anal about that. your english seems fine

>>28676
Ah, I'm sorry I assumed you were an attention whore. I think it's technically correct to say "they" if you want, but it looks really awkward, at least to me. You do you, dude.

What's good this season?

>>28535
I haven't watched everything, but I like Natsume and Renai Boukun.

Watching F.A.G. (Frame Arms Girls)

>>28456
Because plot.

>>28456
Looks like Zone of the Enders.

If they're gonna make anime in full on 3d cgi, you'd think they could at least release it in 48 or 60fps.

All glory to the space loli!

i like the low waist on that skirt, especially with the exposed abdomen. really wonderful uniforms

The female uniforms are a retarded hodgepodge of fetishes thrown together.

The main character's personality is the lazy and unmotivated, over-powered jackass/comedy fantasy lead archtype, with the jackass taken to the extreme in an attempt to make him unique.

only, the part that was supposed to make him unique goes away when the plot needs to move.

I'm sure the figures and the LNs will be the only things making sales for this show.

Do you mean that the girls will fight and have their tits pop out as they fight and I'll be able to fap to it just like Queen's Blade with Minimal to no male characters shitting up the screen, or do you mean that it's just a bunch of girls fighting to be the queen and number 1 and all that stuff?

This is important.

>>28422
Well, his filename does say [Uncensored] so I suspect it's perhaps the former.

>>28422

Both.
Though the fighting generally takes a back seat to the girls groping each other.

So after forgetting about this show, I've decided to watch it. It definitely has a Queen's Blade feel, so much so that I'm not even sure if it was created by the creator of Queen's Blade or was inspired by it.

I like it. Although it's definitely good fapping material, I'm also a little interested in what Lucifer is going to do. I also happen to think that all of the girls are beauties.

>>28165
Yeah it's weird with how long they went without a trace of any men.

I wonder...

Anywhere?!

My PTSD just triggered!

>implied rape

omg i fapped

wait for good subs b4 u watch this, i'm sure i missed some hot stuff watching shitsubs

Not a lot. Most of them are US boxsets, like some of the "orange box" season sets for DBZ, Outlaw Star, Gurren Lagann, and Cowboy Bebop. I've got a few scattered Yu Yu Hakusho DVDs (both R1 and R2), the first 13 episodes of the Digimon Adventure dub on DVD (barf), and a few Slayers DVDs.

I've also got the complete set of Powerpuff Girls along with its few movies, and an R3 Taiwanese release of Ojamajo Doremi #. I also used to have Motto Ojamajo Doremi, but I gave it to a friend as a gift.

I'd love to get all of Ojamajo on DVD but it would cost me something like $4000 to get everything since it's rare, out of print, and Japanese DVDs are always overpriced. The BDs of season 1 are coming out in a month but that alone is several hundred dollars for a shitty upscale with broken colors like Digimon Adventure.

Oh yeah, I've also got Hong Kong, region-free pirated DVDs of the complete set of Yu Yu Hakusho and Cardcaptor Sakura. The YYH subtitles are Duwang as fuck, while CCS is passable. But I loaned CCS to a friend whom I haven't seen since high school.

This is why I'm glad torrents and IRC exist. DVDs are too expensive unless they happen to see a US release. I can justify $30 for a 50 episode show, but not $550.
