i actually do like it a lot, though i think there's a bit of an odd difference in the comedy between the first episode and the second and third ones. the first seems a bit more subdued, while the others....aren't. not that it's bad, just different. it's a pleasant show, and it's funny.
To be honest I'm not watching it for the comedy. I'm watching it for the slice of life aspect. The one I'm watching for the comedy would be Nozaki-kun. The cast of characters are each so colorful and unique.
Barakamon is more for the message it seems to be conveying of 'hang in there baby'
i read the first couple of chapters a few months ago because someone on Twitter got excited about it. I didn't think much of it then; I think the anime improves significantly on the visual aspect, even though the story remains a bit silly.
I look forward to a cheap trick in the next episode!

i think that's a bit true for me as well since the first episode didn't really click for me until the two apologized to each other and started doing things like swimming in the water or climbing the wall.
That's it. I am convinced this show was made to copy and make fun of all things SWA C3 did. Still hilarious though. I was laughing the entire time. The ED reminds me of Stella C3 too. This is a very fun show. This episode was about Momoka
Usually it's five and a teacher in anime. And I can see that. Otherwise people would just create useless clubs with one or two persons that take away space and make organisation of clubs more confused.
They need 4 people in this anime. I'm pretty sure it varies from school to school for the lowest required members to found a club though 4 is usual number I see in anime
Well that role is taken by PUCK ( staying in the background )
Salty dog has the role of teh fool that won't realise that his action are meaningless untill too late.
Thanks to being reminded of Kanokon I decided to make a list with the anime that broke my animeheart one way or another. Most of them are milestones on my path of watching anime and a lot of disappointment and hostility I have towards these shows was me being inexperienced and expecting the wrong thing, be it quality or even direction the show would take. Nowadays most of these show wouldn't make me mad anymore.
But I think it's important to remember and cherish the days where one couldn't see through most an shows structure. The times where hopes and dreams still flew as high as a space dragon in space. And while there were good times, there were also bad. So it's time for some negative Nostalgia to balance out all this love and nostalgia on AnimeGAF.
Angel Beats! (seen 2010)
I ranted already two times in this thread about it, might as well give it a third time. I am a big fan of Key-Adaptions. So I very was excited when "Angel Beats!" was announced since it was written by Jun Maeda. Sadly, as it turned out, "Angel Beats!" wasn't even close to the other Key shows. It was nothing short of a mess, that just made twists up as it went along and struggled to balance drama and humor. One just interfered with the other and I was at the same time mad that my funny scenes where disrupted by weird drama and that tension was completely destroyed by stupid jokes. Plus, a lot of the "plot" was based on people being dumb and far too judgmental.
This show was so bad, that I actively searched the net for opinions on the show to validate my own (and ignore others of course). This is when I found a german anime blog and decided after a few weeks to get my own, to promote anime and manga I thought were actually good (I ended up hating on stuff eventually, but that's a different story).
Bungaku Shoujo (seen 2011)
Book Girl was a movie I just saw by chance, but was very impressed at first. It looked pretty, had an interesting premise and a seemingly nice story of friendship with someone close of the other gender and tough love. Everything went smooth and I already thought I saw something unique, until the ending came along throwing the hope I gathered into mount doom.
This show teached me not to randomly pick stuff. From there on I trusted more in reviews and the opinion of people who watched things before (which then changed when I started to watch currently airing shows).
Eden of the East movies (seen 2011)
Boy, oh, boy. I loved the Eden of the East tv show. It was full of suspense, mystery and an interesting way of "fighting" that didn't necessary involved actually fighting, since the objective was not to kill anybody. But then the movies came along and the writer didn't seem to have an idea how to end the story.
The second movie was giant offense in itself, with the protagonis
t losing his memory AGAIN and everything just revolving around getting it back, with the only thing accomplished at the end being the protagonist having the memory that he lost in this movie in the movie in the first place.
It was completely redundant.
Along came the third which was finally a continuation bringing the story to an end.
It was an terrible end, with loose threats getting killed of conveniently, so the protagonist doesn't have to taint his nice guy image and still leaving the important questions in the open. Nothing was accomplished, Japan isn't saved, the romance wasn't resolved properly and apparently the whole game isn't at an end.
The movies are a waste of time and one is better off handling it like Chaos;Heäd: watching the first part (the tv series in Eden of the East's case) and then just assume that the show ended there on a high note, with a strange, but not sucky open end.
This movies were so bad, they didn't even teach me anything or changed my life. They just were bad.
Fractale (seen 2011)
Yamakan paid dearly for this, so I am at least a bit satisfied in that regard. I had trust in this show, I liked the first episodes, I loved the irish landscape and the setting, but it was all spilled down the gutter in an bad paced show that just forgot valid and interesting points,
like that even if the system wasn't flawless disabled and comatose people profited greatly from it. What they do, when the system is eventually destroyed and humanity has to care for itself again? Thought shit, eh.
. Also the characters were just inconsistent and behaved as the plot needed them to behave. This goes especially for Phryne.
I was so destroyed internally and despised by yours truly hyping it on my blog and defending it, even when it was already clear that it goes down like the Hindenburg, that I stopped blogging after the show ended, a hobby that generally brought me great enjoyment.
Kanokon (seen 2009)
This show is special among this list, since it was never a good show in the first place and someone with half of a monkey brain would've known that. Sadly, I don't even have half of a monkey brain and so I started the show with my vow to never drop a show that I begun watching.
This show made me abolish my no-drop-rule. From there on I hold loosely onto the 3-episode-rule and dropped shows at will. Never, never again would I punish myself through a pile of lame butts- and boobsjokes.
Shangri-La (seen 2009)
Cajun-sama probably hates this entry. Shangri-La was a promising show with an interesting set of ideas, ranging from a kinda parenthood of transvestites over environmentalism to a class system. And then more ideas like religion, a small system of fear and the journey to adulthood entered. And then more. And more and more. The show eventually collapsed under it's rich deck of ideas and became a mess that wanted to talk about everything, but ended up handling everything poorly.
The worst: in between this war of concepts and messages the characters completely drowned, some went MIA, others were reduced to a mere tool to drive the messages and maybe the most fatal of all: the protagonist had no time to evolve. She just stayed like she was with no lasting character development.
This show brought me to make a list on anisearch.de, the german equivalent to MAL, just to give it a bad score.
True Tears (seen 2009)
I almost cried true tears, but not based on the things the anime wanted me to. At the time I was blown away by how good it looked and what a sweet cuckoolander Noe was. I really liked her and her interaction with Protagonist. But then the plot came and
took everything from me for the sake of freaking blankface
. And this piece of shit, just to trample on my feelings, went out of it's way to end the show literally with
Noe crying lonely in the snow
. Just to piss me in the face like I am freaking Brear Grylls. I want this show to be a human so I could murder it.

I truly like the show and felt it blended humor and drama perfectly and didn't linger too long in any one part of the story. There was no filler. There was no episode that felt like it didn't move the story or a character in a meaningful way. It's honestly one of my favorite Key shows. I know I am in the minority with that opinion for the show here. I watched it for what it was. It was different from other Key anime and I appreciated that. Music was great. English dub was great. Short and sweet.

I liked the first three episodes a little more, but these were pretty good genre parodies. One that I know was of Initial D, a Western and my favorite episode of the three, the watermelon/wrestling/bomb disposal one. And the little gator from the opening finally showed up, too. Most gators are interested in golf balls rather than panties, but this guy acts more like a dog than a reptile.
It's becoming really clear that this 舞網 may not be in Florida at all. The model for the town was a location in Chiba, the name is spelled in kanji, and it has mountains. The only thing Florida has less of than weird news stories. The dynamic between Yao and Lu continues to be really great, and I'm growing attached to the girl in the science lab. It's an early role for Rie Tanaka, too. It's enjoyable.
I dont think personally that Shangri La is bad, just it did too much. I guess you could say Im aware of its flaws and I choose to not let them weigh heavy on my judgement of it.
Oh, don't hold back. It's not actually a bad show, which is why I am so mad. It was actually very nice show with pretty visuals and one interesting characters with a prominent role (which is more than a lot of anime seem to have). It just decided at the end, that it's on it's honor as an romance anime can't keep a functional, interesting relationship and have to go with the next thing to a
sister.
Glasslip is actually from these people and this is the reason why I won't even touch the show.

Yes, the music was great and no matter what the wall pattern police says, I also liked the visuals. But I strongly disagree with you on humor, drama and filler, but to back that up, I would have to take the anime out again and destroy it. But there is no need for that, if you enjoyed it, you enjoyed it.

Yeah we can go in circles about that stuff but the bottom line is you didn't enjoy it but I did. End of story. I hope one day you can go back to it and try it out again. Who knows, you might have a new perspective on it. (This happens to me with a lot of things I watch or play)
I'll be genuinely surprised if that happens. Star Driver is a great show with a great ending, and Captain Earth is only pretty good, and less consistent. It'll be quite a feat to top its predecessor's finale.
It has actually changed a few times. started as homuhomu, then a penguindrum penguin, then Taruto, then it gets a little cloudy...
Maybe someone else can remember what came next lol.

I may have been late in noticing, but you seem to love stuff by key. I also enjoyed Angel beats despite the internet telling me I should hate it. I don't plan on re watching it though because then I"m afraid I'll no longer like it. This happens a lot with shows I've seen.
