I really appreciate the abnormal direction of the anime. Sure it's very unrefined with a lot of problems and could be much better done, but even so there's some decent concepts here. I mainly like the fact that it's not a simple good vs evil, heroes vs villains type of story. It's a small detail too but there's something amusing about the fact the heroes have but ugly mech/whatever, and only the antihero gets a cool looking mec-whatever that thing is. It's also pretty cool how the anime has a team of typical heros who think they're heroes fighting villains but eventually realize it's not that black and white.
A lot of the character's backstories seem kind of hamfisted and cliche, but the main character has a bit more going for him and his issues really hit hard in ep8, making it hard not to sympathies for the guy in a moment where in other anime of this sort someone would have slapped or punched him and told him to go fight the aliens like a good little anime protag.

This anime might not be great, but at least it feels different.

If you like it, you might want to read some of the author's other works. He likes those kind of themes.

>>31784
Thanks for the tip, although I'd say this still has many many problems. A few refreshing themes and ideas don't really make up for all the other flaws this anime has. It's still very cliche after all is said and done.

Five years latter and he's not only still living with her and that cat, but they've all been wearing the same outfits this whole time too?

I was handing out candy, but almost nobody came so I have tons of leftovers.

I'm not sure how much it qualifies as "scary", but I enjoyed the Kyuuketsuhime Miyu OVA.

Pumpkin themed costumes for me...

Closest thing to a 'Halloween anime' I can think of would be Shiki. Though I have seen plenty of Halloween episodes across many other anime.

I'd say ghost stories. It's well known for it's dubbing that went off script and mocked the story, but I unironically thought the original version was decent.

>>31806
yes but that doesn't change the fact that it was all kinds of messed up to blackmail her into doing it.

As for silly/petty reasons for dropping a show, I dropped Omamori Himari part way through the first episode because I didn't like the voice actors/actresses. Can't remember who of, but that's the reason. I dropped Denpa Kyoushi because I was looking at the character pages and saw a trap character, along with finding the younger sister character obnoxious. I dropped Hyouka because I couldn't be bothered to care about it. Probably more, if I bothered to remember.

I dropped Hakumei to Mikochi because it was too good a slice of life. I was going through a rough patch when I watched it, and just couldn't stomach something really upbeat and happy. I'll get round to watching it again someday.

I dropped Eromanga-sensei the moment I realized it was related to orimo.

watch Koufuku Graffiti. you will never think of the phrase "food porn" in the same way bro...

>>30243
i love cute girls doing cute things, but dumped this show after ep 2 because i thought it was dull too. did you watch it to the end? does it improve?

>>31462
Personally thought those scenes in Koufuku kinda bothered me, those were too much.

Cute Halloween time?

>>31464
>Koufuku Graffiti
It's one of those watch in the background kind-of shows. I'm a bit of a foodie but it puts me to sleep too..

I'm going to run out of these soon.

Some of these are amusing. Thanks, people.

Pretty much.

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!

umm, correct me if I'm wrong but didn't the prince rape sleeping beauty repeatedly in her sleep who then gave birth while still sleeping?

I finally got around to finishing this and holy fuck does it get retarded. The last ep just gets more and more insane as it goes along. The anime is nothing great but it almost feels worth it to see how it all unravels.

>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.

>>31652
Is he embarrased that he likes Clannad as his top 5? Haha

>>27170
>mononoke no hime
>shinsekai yori
>nagi no asukara
>ghost in the shell (1st ver)
>tamako market

I can't really think of an exact top5, some are completely different genres and I like them for different reasons, so it doesn't make sense to say one's better than the other.

>>31563
...why?

>>31566
>punching women in the face
you had me at "punching women"

>>31561
It was me.

>>31562
On that note, here's some good news.

Come on, OP, use the Catalog...

Thanks for confirming you're evading a permanent ban. I'm closing this thread, everyone use the linked one above.

I really wanted to like this as a history lover but the blatant lack of animation in a story setup that is primarily action driven is really killing it for me. There must be less budget here than a Naruto filler episode.

>>31728
yeah its shit, could have been a good historical series, but instead its the standard manly tears bullshit with a love story on the side.
i'd rather have just watched hyogue mono again than spend time on this series.
i'm usually pretty quick to drop shitty anime, but i wanted this one to be good because it was so potentially interesting and i ended watching the whole thing and now i regret it.

>>31731
>Hyouge Mono
Man seldom do I see a series I want to marathon, but that was one.
I didn't even expect much from Angolmois and it still disappointed me. I should just focus on VNs

>>31732
It's impressive that a show about teaware was so addicting and emotional to watch. Any anime director who wants to make a historical series should really watch that first to know how it's properly done.

Been watching this recently. I love how well the visuals sync with the music.
