AO is only good if you like Elena, so it is only good to me and Thoraxes.
I am ok with this.
I am ok with this.
well yeah, fleur, elena, truth, naru, etc would still be shit characters, plot still be a mess, etc.
But you wouldn't get the rage element out of it. Like who was this show made for? did the director completely forget what it was about the original that people loved? Does Bones hate its audience that much?
The burn is strong in this one.
Dude. I've been calling bullshit since episode 14 and I'm fucking pissed. Trust me. It's pretty terrible.
I knew you would be cajun. We all know KYH is the best.
Yall thought the movie was 10x worse than the show? Holy fuck. AO is 100x worse than the movie imo.
You were so close to being correct, too.
I thought you didnt like elena?
Milky Holmes sold pretty well. Around 4k per volume. Milky Holmes 2 is the one that didn't sell nearly as much...

Hidamari Sketch x365 11
Rebellious Yuno,
! She goes anyways and...
Again in this episode a random character came on the scene and intereacted with one of the mains.
These have been unprecedented and I like them. It doesn't happen enough through the series on a whole. Mostly, a majority of the peers are just "Boy/Girl" labeled fill-ins. Speaking of, it'a another part that's making me enjoy x365 on a whole more than the previous season
.
Final note: Poor Hiro knocking her head and Yoshinoya locked up in the school! The lesson here is always watch out for low ceilings.
Oh Miyako, can anything tame your hunger?
Rebellious Yuno,
the sign clearly said do not enter
then ganged on by birds that want rice balls...

Poor Yuno getting "pantsed/skirted"!

What the fuck?
I have been a fan of Elena ever since her voice actress was announced.
Well I did sorta drop it at episode 15, but I can do this.
We cannot guarantee your survival. Just saying.
Sengoku Collection 26:
Resolution! Except not really! Did anyone even care about anything getting resolved anyway?
So.........two-thirds of the finale was one contiguous fight. Even if it was still clear that no banks were broken in the process of animating this, it was, I suppose, still a window into what the show could have been like had Konami dropped the concept into less whimsical hands. Even at the cost of an esoteric arthouse mother-of-all-mind-benders finale, I guess I can commend the show for finishing what it started. We all had enough fun.
The show couldn't resist using the final few minutes for a "WHERE ARE THEY NOW?" montage of all of the characters, so there's nothing left but to stroll down memory lane.
RIP Sengoku Collection
In sum

Remember the good times?
The bad times?
The sad times?
The cripplingly-boring and incredibly fucking lame times?
RIP Sengoku Collection
why? Such a stupid shit character. Stupid story arc, pointless, ugly design, terrible personality. Shes like the quintessential shit animu character I would expect in a Sunrise, Satelight or Gonzo show (edit: and at this point a Bones show)
Yes, but Omigawa.
There's a point where the episode just kinda stops, and pulls a few characters into a room, and they basically say
"You know all the possible directions our characterizations could go because of the various twists and turns which have happened in the last bunch of episodes? Well forget all that because none of that matters, now let's all team up again and go fight the bad guy!"
That's how much respect the show has for the viewers.
No.
Shes a very cute design.
I mean, she's a silly character but the show didn't fail because of her.

This is pretty much worse imo.
I dropped this after episode 4. Maybe Ill watch more and see if it was worth continuing, but that would come much later. Just not worth suffering through.
"...Fashion?!"
Feels awfully forced to me in House, especially the way every mystery is solved the same way in the same amount of time.
Wait... the show has respect for the viewers? LOL
In all seriousness, it was pretty bad.
I've been through alot of hells in anime I can do this!

Well, the difference is that they weren't solving a new case every week on Hyouka. But sure, they still had to churn through a series of mysteries regardless. I'll agree that was a problem with the show, but it's a problem with all of these shows. You have to characterize Oreki as being someone defined by his ability, and there's really only one way to show him exercising his ability.
And you know, admittedly, maybe I wouldn't be as enthralled with Hyouka if it ran for 8 years. lol
Oh my god, what happened to their faces.
You know, my favourite show of this particular genre is a Canadian show called ReGenesis - mostly because they had an episode structure where cases would take three episodes to resolve themselves.

It's pretty late to be asking this question!
Sengoku Collection - Episode 26 (END)
I mostly watched this to try and unrage over E7AO, but it didn't really work. It didn't make me any angrier, or any less angry, nor did it redirect any anger anywhere else. It was just kinda random and average. For no particular reason there's a really long drawn out multi-sided battle sequence at the beginning. It doesn't really lead to anything interesting, it's just there, and it's long. It's not ugly either, just mostly pointless and a little boring.
Then there's another long music video montage sequence at the end showing all the characters epilogues. I only recognized the ones from the episodes I watched, but overall it was like watching some bonus clip included on the final DVD, or the ending sequence of some 60 hour JRPG. Wasn't bad, but it didn't really impress either.
It's really hard to articulate the precise level of averageness here, but it is probably one of the most complete, but yet totally pointless endings I've seen for a show of this sort.

Well, I'm sure you've watched worse shows.

But I explicitly wasn't talking about the execution, I was talking about the set-up. It doesn't really matter how, say, House M.D. does it differently - it's just an example.
But have you watched the Mass Effect anime yet?!
That was.... painful to watch.
I'll let EatChildren do that.
I thought those posts were photoshops or something.
No. It really does have the derpiest character designs in all the land.

I like the way you feel compelled to point out that the show was Canadian. I mean, I already knew that! It's even got way better opening credits than House:

"Day 0." - Dedication Through Light
You keep saying things like this, but SenColle is genuinely a better show that most of the things you subject yourself to. It's not actually a terrible show.
It does if we're talking about holding your interest, though. To go back to this post:
Yeah, the patient will die if House doesn't solve the case, but who cares? We've never seen this person before, and we know beforehand how everybody besides House will diagnose something obviously wrong, House will act rude and get in trouble with his superiors, but his methods will be vindicated by solving the case. The patient will be saved and House will say something pithy while everyone looks contemplative.
House is actually a bad example to bring up because it proves that setup isn't everything, lol.
Would watch 100 more episodes so long as they kept Studio Pablo for the backgrounds. No lie.
In House's defense, they mix it up quite a bit. Season 3 is a good example of this.

Compared to the rest of the current shows left in my backlog, I would rather watch more.
Yeah, seeing it already got me over that so I didn't care. Also knowing me, i'll probably love the shit out of this episode.

Man, those credits gave me a flashback to my life 8 years ago. lol
I'm not sure why I pointed out its Canadian-ness... other than as a way to separate it from the American procedural or out of some sense of national pride or something. lol
Her face!!!!!!
