I had nothing better to do so I kept going. Made it to ep6 before giving up and dropping it. I truly detest the type of anime that try to make death and gore seem hip and cool.

>>27760
Also, I found the cowtits character both obnoxious and grotesque. Every time they started jumping around and making their oversized meat bags flop about I wanted to puke.

I finished watching this series almost an hour ago, and while I understand why it's getting hate, I think people should give it a second chance.
>The negative:
- Ryo-tas' massively voluptuous chest seemed nothing but fan-service; it was used entirely as a trope with zero subtlety. She was constantly jumping and hopping all over the place making them bounce. Some might like it, but I found it remarkably out of place within the context of the show.
- Content felt particularly crammed; not only the dialogue is extremely fast paced, to the point it might cause exasperation at some points, but it also feels like a lot of the side story was cut, including that of several characters who were advertised as being part of the main cast (Ririka, Albino Boy, Aria and her acquaintance, etc.). It should have been at least 22 episodes.
>The positive:
- The awesome opening (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0WI33IX_gUI) and ending (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mFVOlvNWkCQ) themes.
- I also constantly noticed how much I liked the background music, I thought it was very good.
- The plot and the story are well-written and consistent once you remove the pacing problems; no characters feel bland once you omit that.
- Character and background design are very stylish and nothing in this series looks visually unappealing, repetitive, or boring.
- Animation style is crisp and cinematic. Some people mentioned how the noses were drawn as a bad thing, but I don't see the issue. Pic related.

>>27760
The gore (which is used very sporadically later) is presented more as inconsequential rather than alluring, and I think it serves the purpose of desensitizing the viewer so that the upcoming plot doesn't break the suspension of disbelief.
>>27271
>Does it take place in the same universe at least?
There is a scene where Moritsuka (pic related) says "El Psy Congroo", but it's a reference. Chiyomaru Shikura, representative director of 5pb./MAGES said the "Science Adventure" series (Chaos;Head, Chaos;Child, Steins;Gate and Robotics;Notes) is a fictional game series within the "Science Visual Novel" series (Occultic;Nine and Anonymous;Code).
>In case it's still confusing:
Steins;Gate is a fictional universe that is set within the fictional universe of Occultic;Nine.

>i am an experienced urine drinker

thanks for telling us

>>27720
I'm not sure why you taste your urine, but if it tastes like soft drinks, you're probably drinking too many soft drinks.

>>27720
urine probably isn't carbonated and sugary. if it is, your piss probably hurts coming out and you should see a doctor.

>Nothing to do with memes individually.

<-- This sums up my feelings on this anime.
I'll never understand why teenagers love grotesque stuff like this so much. At any rate I think I'm just going to give up on the ; franchise. Steins;gate was good but everything else has been mediocre or flat out terrible. This after dropping O;N about a week ago too. The shared universe stuff is so inconsequential anyway that it really doesn't matter. It's not like marvel movies where they directly tie into each other, or those clamp anime where characters from one series pop up and have large rolls in other series. Here you have to put the anime under a microscope to find how they relate to each other.

>bite sized
I see what you did there...

So why not delete and try again?

>>27774
for my part, i wont say its unpleasant to have a little ass on the front page... its a happy mistake.

>>27776
it not a very good ass if you ask me, thats what i was trying to say in OP (although it wasn't supposed to be an OP).
Koiwai is another story, she's a real beauty

>>27780
not, it isn't great ass, but a little blood still rushed to my penis and that brought me a moment of pleasure.

i would defensively say you were trying to rob me of my happiness, but the picture you posted was decent.

Disregard normals, acquire moe catgirls!

>>26010
not always

>>27543
i think most of the posters are waiting for the subs to come out. you seem to be the only person watching the raws.

stella no mahou really has been a delight; im really looking forward to the final episode. too many moe animes are so cookie-cutter in their plot and characters, then have the audacity to cram in cliched fan service that does not stem from the plot. stella no mahou is wonderfully crafted: heart warming and cute because it is earnest, its fan service is organic stemming from plot and character development rather than contrived scenarios, and, like the fan service, i thought the humor was much stronger than other series' slice of life humor because it was so organic.

i'm really curious to see how other fans thought this stacked up.

>>27504
i would fucking kill to cuddle her

Nepu!

It's sad to see this end. I can only hope someday we'll get another season.

TOSHINO KYOKO!!!

Thanks for the warning.

Preemptively dropped.

The first one I guess?

The first one has her arc as well as a bunch of other stories she makes an appearance in. Her arc is really good, actually, it's like one of the few parts that is truly cohesive as a story.

Overall it's not that great an anime though, seriously. I'd say watch the first series and get a feel for it if you've never watched the show before.

The characters are moe and alluring but the dialogue is really stilted and the jokes will go over your head because you're not Japanese/the translation is inadequate. The end result is this weird disjointed story that makes very little sense because it relies HEAVILY on Japanese puns. You constantly feel like you should be laughing but you don't get the jokes because they're not even lost, but abandoned in translation. It really doesn't help that they use a non-linear chronology (not that Isin considering some weeb basement dwellers in America when creating the story).

And then they all have the classic SHAFT infocards, except unlike a show such as SZS they actually say things that are relevant to the story instead of witticisms and in-jokes.

They all look amazing though, invariably they have the best use of limited animation I've seen in my life. Like just thinking about it makes me want to dive back in. There's genuine subtlety there and they do it using the same techniques that give anime a lack of subtlety if that makes sense. SHAFT at it's finest.

Medaka Box is better.

>>27670
It's really cute! The characters are all moe. I like the main cast a lot.

The setting is beautiful. I enjoy the design of the town, it reminds me a bit of Kyousougiga.

The divination methods are interesting. I'm curious as to what Chiya's method will be - The scene with the kokkuri was a pretty jarring change of tone.

>You leaned too heavily on your anger and it misled people about your opinions and upset other posters.
I'm not sure if I'd call it 'anger' per-say, but you're right. I did paint myself into a corner there that made people blindly hate me and refuse to acknowledge anything I said as such. Yes, I do like anime, in-spite of thinking a large amount of it is terrible (including the stuff I liked) and I'm sure I even mentioned that before. In fact I've logged more than 11k ep of the stuff, spent thousands of dollars on merch, have had the same waifu for a decade, and swore off 3dpd ages ago.
The problems with anime applies to just about any medium honestly. As someone who also watches tons of movies (I have a lot of free time) I can tell you there's a lot of parallols, especially in how formulaic they tend to be.

In retrospect I think the real issue is these shows and charts have really horrible descriptions that don't do the shows justice. Anything will sound like garbage if they all read as: "mc-kun is a normal highschool boy blah blah meets beautiful girl blah blah saves the world." Granted a lot of these shows do end up sucking all the same, but it would help if they didn't sound so horrible to start with.
