I'm just mad bitter that they licensed Sayonara Zetsubou-sensei and then did nothing with it for so long that it's no longer a viable property and wouldn't be picked up by another company anyway even if Media Blasters lost their rights to it.
Accel World 17-
Fuck this show and the characters on it. I'm only #hatewatch at this point and it's too good at that.
Oh my lord.
I'll be seeing this for myself in a few. Ugh.
I thought of you when I saw the next line in that exchange!

OtuBoku OVA
One of these girls is a boy!
So, I guess this is some kind of sequel or side-quel or something related to the original OtuBoku but with different characters. The set up isn't exactly the same, but fairly similar - boy who can pass as a girl goes to an all girl school and everyone falls in love with him/her.
What's weird is how they've tried to class up the story by trying to be all arty:
Even the title cards/episode titles are overwrought.
Of course, the episode itself seems to balance between the arty emotional bits where everything is deliberately paced and the inevitable servicey
where hijinks happen. Otherwise, it seems more of the same... even if the characters are different and the direction gets arty at times, it doesn't really deviate from the original OtuBoku all that much, even if
, so I assume the rest of the OVAs will be more girls falling in love with the main character for some faux-yuri hilarity.
Also, there is SDBurton service:
There's wonzo service:
(CG fencing foils)
And Joule service:
So, something for everyone. lol

This isn't a value judgement, but I just wonder if we've got to the point where people are making references just because they can and not because it is in any way related to telling the story. It's just something that both American and Japanese people can't seem to get enough of.
OtuBoku OVA
Also, there is SDBurton service:
Added.
I played the 2nd Otoboku game. >
Oda Nobuna no Yabou-2
This episode was a lot better than the prior one. I am starting to see the decentness of this show. Though, I would love a harsh and dark tone show involving the real Oda Nobunaga. So much potential in that.
Nobuna is such a tsundere too.

I'm a little sad that Nobuna didn't proceed to murder her brother, it brought a real doubt whether Akechi Mitsuhide's betrayal will be handled with dignity and awesomeness.

The guy published a book he wrote when he was 14. Who's the idiot now
So the writing is aimed at preteens? That makes sense then.
That's kinda cool actually. I want a Kyubey one though.
Also, there is SDBurton service:
I will take SD's crown some day ;~;
Until then I shall remain AnimeGAF's Akari.
As far as I know, most light novels and cell phone novels are aimed at preteens and teenagers. Isn't it the same with manga?

Do you honestly think anything you're watching right now is aimed at adults?

Anything for yuri!
Look at the lengths he'll go to though. lol

Oh awesome ...i didn't see the reference when i watched it ...
Good to know this akward moment was intentionnal.
Of course it will not be otoboku , if this wasn't.
Unless i'm wrong this was based on the second game on this saga
( different cast, différent school, same universe ) The game was out in japan on PC & 360
That's impressive actually.

But firehawk, what is there for me?
Everything is Astro Boy.
I guess you could photoshop a nichijou face onto someone?
Pfff, that's just a rip off of Disney-sama's works.
almost want to say that the more perverse shows would be aimed at adults, but knowing Japan theyre probably all bored of sex by that age
This is factually wrong, as it implies there's even a single aspect of Suite that was better than Heartcatch.
Yes, I still have 10 or so episodes of Suite left, but I feel confident in this statement.

But I thought you were Yui. Does not compute.

I love things in anime besides Nichijou.
I know. I know. "Stop the presses!"
Customization skimping at its finest!
Why, it's Saints Row 3 all over again.

The Space Brothers anime is aimed at children due to its timeslot, although it's based on a seinen manga. Natsuyuki Rendezvous would be an example of a show aimed squarely at a general adult audience.
cajun's right, though. By the most extraordinarily slim of margins, but he's right.
Indeed!
I will brave the strongest winds, the roughest storms, and the deadliest heat for my yuri.

Chiyu you fucking idiot! UGGGGH!
ANN has posted an interview with Kanta Kamei, the director of the Usagi Drop anime.
http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/interview/2012-08-03/interview-kanta-kamei-director-of-bunny-drop
Do note that a couple of the questions discuss in vague terms the direction of the series past where the anime adaptation finished, if you're sensitive to that sort of thing.

They can listen for themselves and decide. Maybe even pick another Precure series theme:

This discussion is pointless because Yes 5! GoGo has the best henshin theme in Precure.

Um... gao~?
You just need to out-yuri him. lol
SDBurton should summarize the game for us.!
More at teenagers than anything else.

Just to add something:
Aniplex: Comes with its own replica wand.
Sentai Filmworks: Each VHS will have its label handwritten!
Funimation: Each set comes with a free keychain and some nifty packaging.
And to add the companies that time forgot:
NISA: 24 episode sets. No dub. Enough oversized boxes to break bookshelves everywhere.
Nozomi: Licenses it, announces it and no one notices til it's long out of print.
VIZ: Streams it, releases it and cancels everything within a year.

I just got Crunchyroll premium. They gave me 30 days free because I had an .edu email. So, how is it? I am ten years behind on pretty much any anime....besides Welcome to NHK, Eureka 7, and tons of one to several episode quits of random crap I didn't like. I'm pretty excited because it's gonna be good to get back into it after so long.
And I would have even less of an idea of what to watch with their live action Japanese shows. But first I am gonna watch Gintama.
