The op is cool. I'll just roll with the super crazy dumb plot.

I suggested Full Moon to him too Im pretty sure.
Its a rather large undertaking though with 52 episodes.
But you know how amazing it is.

I'm almost positive he actually started watching and got to around episode 12-15 or something like that...

Non Non Biyori 10



God is this series so good. This episode was sweet and heartwarming. Seeing Ren as a baby was too cute. The end to the episode was great, just seeing Candy Lady and Ren sleep next to each other.

I love this episode and you're so right, baby Ren is soooooo adorable and cuuuuuuuute ~~~. Candy Lady really did well this episode.

Gatchaman Crowds Insight episode 1

Yup. This is back. New OP is great, digging the new Gatchaman song at the end too. Iwasaki delivers again.

The part where she punched K2 was amazing

Majestic as heck.

My reaction was basically:

"D-did they just..? ...the heck?"
"oh yea...come to think of it, I'm watching Symphogear. No wonder. Over the top ridiculousness is pretty much their trademark."
*bursts into laughter and rewinds the scene*
 
Non Non Biyori 11

Seeing the crew sleeping in the School, learning how to Skii, making a igloo, and eating together was really enjoyable. A really comfy and relaxing show this is.

Gatchaman Crowds Insight Episode 1: This episode was a big fat pile of nothing. Episode 0 was far better than the actual first episode due to it actually showing some plot, introducing Rui's gatcha form, having some action and showing what happened to Katze.

What happened in this episode?

An alien girl landed who has no real traits other than being eternally happy and optimistic, it introduced a girl who I have no real idea about because her characterization kept flying all over the place and the dialogue was really hard to follow, and then she just became a Gatchaman out of nowhere.

The scene where she became a Gatchaman was utter "wut"
It made no sense. That little boy saw her and said "look, it's Tsubasa!" and started running towards her, and then the press all turned to start shouting for Tsubasa like she was important even though she clearly isn't, and she fulfills some weird criteria for being a gatchman by... telling the press what dicks they are for knocking over a little kid? like that's it?

What happened in that scene? what happened in this episode? it was a mess of a script from start to finish. It was just a bunch of people sat around talking for most of the episode and then suddenly "you're a gatchaman Harry!"

I like the show but its idea of pacing is just shocking.
 
One of my all time favorites, super happy you're enjoying this! *Hugsies!*

I have to say I really love shows like this and Barakamon, you could say I have a soft spot for them. Just a comfy and relaxing anime that you could pretty much recommend to anyone.

My favorite episode of the series.

It was really great episode plus Ren is such a adorable character with a amazing personality.

That's freaking fantastic! All I've really watched have been shows like this! Watch Potemayo next if you can and Hanamaru Kindergarten and Yuyushiki and Kamichu. So many good relaxing shows out there that AnimeGAF has filled me in with, it's probably my favorite genre really; especially when the art style just exudes cute and cuddly and makes you want to hug everything.

That's it! I was trying to remember what this was called the other day! I was gonna read the manga but then I couldn't think of what the name was. You jogged my memory!

Just started Symphogear from S1. I have no idea what just happened, and I didn't expect to like it as much as I did. Just reminded me that yes, anime is pretty fuckin crazy. Great way to spend a Saturday afternoon with a beer in hand. Also, when should I start shipping?

Glad I could help! First anime avi was Potemayo herself dancing with a super happy face! =) Love the anime too, it's so much fun and mega cute and super funny.
 
Humanity Has Declined 5-6

What an interesting pair of episodes. Love how sarcastic the mediator is and Assistant-kun is the best character in the show. I don't really know what more to really say about this show...
 
Charlotte 01

Guess this is going to be my slice of life for the season. Goddamn that was such a solid first episode. Loved how the MC is a total scumbag ahahah, he reminded me a lot of Lelouch.

Also this:


was totally a homage to Fuko from Clannad right? I mean:

...Plastic Memories had an OT?

yeah, but nobody ever posted in it unfortunately. .

Hmmm, I don't know! I'll watch the first couple episodes before I decide if I want to keep Charlotte for later watching this season.

Edit: Speaking of you Cornbread.... I read the past 11 pages and it looks like you're not watching Full Moon o Sagashite? (Not sure if you've actually been watching anything, just looking for Full Moon from you)........ Vacation still?

Yeah, on vacation until Wednesday. I like watching shows like that in large doses and I can't do that while on vaca, so I'll go back at it next week.

Pretty good! Got several laughs out of me. Main character looks funny, but he's spunky. A few too many still frame shots. And those translucent bugs looked bad. Hope the story doesn't focus too much on the highschool though =/. Definitely will keep watching.
 
Non Non Biyori 12

Ren is so adorable.

Man was that great just seeing the whole crew look for edible plants and the brother just munching on plants. I really love Candy Lady's interactions with Ren, so good. The funky segment with Ren was just hilarious and cute. It was sad seeing everyone wave their hands towards the end.

I really need Season 2 to air ASAP because man is this series just a great comfy watch. If Season 2 is more of the same show it will definitely be one of my contenders for AOTS. It's just that good. It doesn't rely on unnecessary fanservice or terrible jokes but just showing the realistic behaviors of children out in the country.

Also wasn't there a article that pretty much summed up that Non Non Biyori provides a picture of what schools out in the country in Japan seem like? That most carry a few students and all.

Yeah, a while after I saw the show a discussion occurred on AnimeGAF and someone brought up an article about how the real situation in Japan isn't exactly all the funny. Seeing 5-10 students in an entire school and in different grades and things of that nature. I do love Non Non Biyori so much though and the real life situation gave me a different perspective on NNB.

One of my favorites ever, AoTF like so many others I've seen. S2 starts on the 7th right? It'll be so good, sooooo gooooood~.

She looks so baked in the gif. Someone needs to add a joint hanging out of her mouth...

Yeah, I'll dig deep into it late next week. For mow, I'm just catching up on my queue a couple episodes at a time. I will start the new stuff tonight since I grabbed a Crunchy pass from someone on Twitter.
 
Durarararararara X2 13

We pick up right from where we left off two seasons ago. It's Durarara. It's obviously awesome. Can't wait to see what these characters are going to go through next aha.
 
Gatchaman Crowds Insight 1
Really fun first episode. Both Gels and Tsubasa are cute and fun. I like the team's stronger cohesiveness and upbeatness as well.

Can confirm.

I teach at a country elementary school once a month. About forty students all up and only two classes. My other schools are much bigger though

This is over six grades

i feel strange and a little disappointed that i didn't enjoy Gatchaman Crowds as much as I feel I should've. I generally adore Nakamura's works (Mononoke, Trapeze, Tsuritama) but Crowds just wasn't doing it for me for whatever reason.

Except for the music though. I remember that being awesome.

There's nothing stopping you from doing it
my ot's are quick and shitty anyone can do em

Lol, maybe next week when I can get back on my laptop. It would be horrible though, lol.

I will stop you! *Grrrrrr*........!!!!

No worries, I'm sitting in a stadium waiting for fireworks, so I'm entertaining myself mentally, lol. It's been a long wait and still another couple hours to go, lol.

I'd say go ahead and watch the first Insight ep and ep 0 to see if you're feeling similarly afterwards. I don't recall being too hot about the series while it aired either, but those two episodes were really fun and are making me eager about where the show's going to go from here.

Also the OP and Tsubasa are amaziiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing.
 
Gatchaman Crowds 3

So Rui is the force behind the Galax and provides help for the World. Also what's up with the guy that just kisses people and then turns into them. He most likely has a bigger role. Loved the teamwork with Hajime leading the group in order to announce that the milk was dangerous.

I liked it, quite a bit actually. Opening action scene was a lot of fun. Mid section was over expositiony and wasn't handled as well. But I'm hoping that was just for set-up and won't be the norm. A few instances of clunky CG, but I suppose thats inevitable these days. Gonna keep watching. Cautiously hopeful.
