Specifically you as I don't believe I've really commented on MadPierrot's tastes (either in a positive or negative light).
Edit: Whoops, double post. I keep forgetting that this isn't the thread with 1 new post per second anymore.

I guess I won't watch the original anime seasons and instead read the original manga before the move/name change to another magazine. It'll probably be tomorrow as I've got a buddy coming over in 10 minutes to do co-op graces f.
I have been!
Nice stuff coming out for KlK. Im reasonably hyped now.
Of course it does. The tongue has to go somewhere!

Project X Zone 1-41 (END)
So I spent a better part of 50 hours doing the same thing over and over again, which was doing super neato combos and whatnot. It eventually drove me crazy because the battles in like 3/4 of the game are TOO FUCKING LONG and I never want to play them ever again. There were lots of cute girls and gratuitous butts and boobs so it wasn't a complete waste.
SUPER OFFICIAL BEST GIRL LIST:
Xiaomu = Erica > Saya > Kaguya > Neneko > KOS-MOS = T-elos > Estelle > Tron Bonne > Devilotte > everyone else from games I haven't played or don't really care about
We don't have Samurai-Cowgirls, unfortunately.

I can agree to this.
It did, but you're not going to like it.

Here's the cover for the ED single of Samurai Flamenco:
I like but do not love these designs. They are pleasing but nothing special.
HOLY SHIT. I envisioned an idea like this before but I seriously never thought it would be possible. This is going to open up so much potential for amazing stuff.
Erica is some unfair goddess level of cuteness.
Its kind of ridiculous.

Russian god eater girl is best in project x zone. Underboob, not so common in Japanese media.
Unless someone proves me wrong.
Please!

That's pretty much the peak of the show. It's still kind of entertaining to the end though. Then there's dat OVA. based fg42
Finally hit home?

Xiaomu has the best legs, butt, and fluffy ears in the game. The only way she would have been super best is if she had a giganto fluffy tail.
I can relate. the show doesnt actually affect me like it seems to affect others. more like "yeah Ive been there Tomo, hang in there".
Definitely see some of my old self in her though. The show doesnt make me cringe though. Its more like just a reflection on how I used to be and how much I changed from it. Its fascinating.

Better than the previous seasons? I watched them but to be honest they didn't leave much of an impression on me as I'm somewhat hard pressed to remember them.
I love the way you think sometimes (or most of the time)

It's not like I'm ever going to use this but failing to use horizontal real estate properly always saddens me.
Would zeroshiki lead you astray?
Oh no I get that but the problem is that a lot of the antics blend into each because there's no progression. It either goes off on a supernatural tangent, quietly melancholy or it's comedy highjinks with some moral lesson at the end. There's nothing wrong with that but it's 26 episodes of it with little to no variation.
In the other series you have the same style of show but because it progresses to some form of conclusion it feels like a more cohesive show.
Cuilan's mostly harmless and drops in links into a conversation which he doesn't necessarily expect comments to. Izayoi is busy in the middle of NTR trist so hasn't been spamming anything.
I agree actually.
That kind of site design always feels like there is something missing on the sides

Naw, just the movies. But I know what happens in S1 and S2 and this series rides the line between remake and reboot pretty carefully. No one really knows how this will end, at least!

That reminds me, I should watch the Yumeria (never played the game) anime because Neneko is adorable.

Nano da, nanonano da.
YES. Yumeria is nothing special but its short and cute and entertaining. You probably wont remember much of it though when its over.

Yeah there's actually a pretty large number of fairly clever changes despite the fact that at first it appears to be an almost literal remake. The original series is fairly painful to sit through thanks to the dry direction, thin characters, cartoony villains and slow overall plot progression. Some of the changes are clearly their to catch old fans out and keep them on their toes while most of the changes flesh out the protagonists/antagonists/story/crew.
All these changes don't just make it superior to the original though, they go as far as to make it a legitimately excellent series in it's own right. I'm also impressed by the variety of story-types the show manages to explore e.g.
the episode which takes place entirely inside a variety of hallucinations.
Then, of course, there's the fanservice.

This went places... AGAIN! Seems like watching this has paid off after all!
Which led a train reaction of two guns being in lesbians with FNC, Aug (lol Augu~), and Sig.
And Galil is here and attached to another gir-- I mean gun.

Gun registration? Silly Japan, don't you know that only leads to tyranny?

Japan is pro tyranny though.
It's not anything special but if you're into sports shounen it's good.

The Free! special seems like it will be quite good double the Haruka even.

The fanservice really is the one thing that stands at as unnecessary. But, that's how you make anime for a 2013 audience I suppose.
(The less said about the OP they use for the TV broadcast, the better.)
But yeah, it's really perfect because it has classic science fiction stories like the one you mentioned that are somewhat episodic, but has a throughline that is actually interesting and serialized without relying on TWEEEEEESTS. The fact that the one "big" twist is something that all the old fans would have known anyway - and ends up being fairly downplayed - is great. The fact that the humans aren't all perfect is great too... in fact, Shawn Ryan tried to do that exact same premise in a TV show last year and failed miserably at it, and he's one of the "auteurs" of television!
In an age where reboot typically means shit (thanks JJ Abrams), Yamato really becomes something special with this update.
I guess it depends on what you are in for. I personally like the world building and the :firehawk, so that probably tickles my fancy more than it would someone else. The characters, as Singles, are more confident than when they were just trainees, but they're still not ready to graduate and think about the future yet.
Izayoi is NTRing Tera or whatever with FF14. lol

Your list is missing too many good girls..
Well You put xiaomu in top so i'll forgive you.
Nuts ? Are you sure ? Maybe she is the only normal character in a sea of crazy ones.
Looking forward to this. I read some of the manga to get a little background on the story.
I believe it's been licensed by Sentai.

Thanks. I recently got S1 but the second part really ratcheted up the crazy.
