Hey, hosanna has the same birthday as me!

Well, the Daily Lives of High School Boys manga just came to an out-of-nowhere screeching halt. Dunno what that means for any potential plans of a second anime season.
Aww. :( Maybe we'll get a bunch of OVAs if we're lucky.

A brand new Chuunibyo Demo Koi ga Shitai video, "Episode 1 Lite":

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QK_aZiizefg

Seems to be about three minutes of show footage, bookended by the promotional OP and ED from the preview screenings.

Also, two new updates on the site's character page: Yuta and Rikka's teacher Nanase Tsukumo, and Rikka's sister Toka Takanashi.

Just compare the footage in this clip with the visuals and audio from this scene in the first episode of Hyouka:

This is hardly even the best scene from that episode, but even so you can see and hear a clear difference compared to that Crazy Girl Anime.

Just because it's a different style doesn't mean that it sucks. Having said that, I definitely do not like the glow in Chuunibyou. Who knows... it could get better. I will say that Hyouka was definitely going for a distinct style though.

Well, I don't think Chuunibyou is worse because it has a different style. I think it's worse because it seems to have no style at all.

It's going for a much more glowing, vibrant, and colorful world. It has style. I personally don't like it.

Well, the opinions from the pre screening was:

episode 1 - kind of boring
episode 2 - fuck yeah

so we should use the three episodes rule.

Well fuck.

I kind of think that's a bad suggestion now. You really do need to watch the show all the way through to appreciate it fully.

I think any suggestion that actually gets people to just watch a good show is a good suggestion! Better to start from ep12 than to not watch it at all. And if they like it after that, they can always catch up on what they missed.
 
Even if our tastes are different, you're aware enough of both why you like what you like and what people look for in shows to provide useful opinions. Some posters can't get beyond their own tastes, and just get baffled when people dislike the shows they enjoy, or vice versa.

Hey, thanks for the words of encouragement. I was mostly just joking there, but it's nice to know people get what I'm saying even if they don't always agree.

Underwhelming reveal. I am curious as to whether Flora will now play in her normal clothes.

And when the hell are we going to get to the moon!?

Yall are giving horrible advice. he needs to watch from episode 19.

The OP song own tho.

EDIT : Fuck the ED.
The ED is seriously awful. The OP we've seen before I think. It's okay I guess. Kind of bland.
So, there's supposed to be action sequences of some kind in Chuunibyou correct?
There were a lot of really over the top sequences in one of the PVs KyoAni released. There was much better music too.

I agree. That PV had me hyped. Then someone ruined it for me.

No, we told you to start from ep12. That's not the same thing!

You are not doing your cause any favours.

It seems that the Chuunibyo video is a mini-story that won't be part of the TV series. Look's like they'll be showing a new one via YouTube every week for an unknown length of time, taking down the previous week's each time a new video gets posted.

Clarification added to original post.

Man Basquash got so boring for me by about 14-15th episode. Had to drop it.

Lite... on animation?

Well, it's ultimately up to you on whether you want to start the show that, no doubt, you've seen be praised to hell and back as it ended.

Try episode seven or something. It's stand alone, for the most part.
I watched up until the stupid
ice cream
pun or whatever. Shit was tedious. This is like all those people who kept on telling me how FFXIII got real good like halfway into the game. What's the point if you've burned me out by then?

People who said that about XIII were full of shit. The game never got good.

Legendary NTR manga series Nozoki Ana is getting an anime.

Rough introductory plot summary:
Kido Tatsuhiko moved to Tokyo to attend an art school and start his new life. In his new room, there’s a small hole in the wall. At first he can see nothing through the small hole, but one night, through the peephole, he saw a girl. That’s how his new life starts.
And apparently things rapidly escalate from there.

Molding shoe shapes, eh?
I always liked the story of the elves and the shoe maker. I was very amused when it appeared here. Also that Yuno crafted her mold to be larger than the originals hehe.

And Yuno's parents always make an episode funny.
