I'll handshake you if possible.
that's like half of the list...
Just thought It'd be a lil in-joke because some pages back people were talking about short-haired anime girls being great.
But yeah, I will, thanks.
Thanks

Genius Party is an anthology. I have trouble recommending an anthology to any one who is looking for a movie. Baby Blue and Door Bell are the only things I've seen on it, and from what I've heard, are the only reason to watch it at all. Genius Party Beyond didn't have a single name attached to it that interested me.
Thus concludes my opinion piece on Parts 3 and 4 of the list.

That must have been a while ago, I don't even remember that.
Is there no tracking number on the rightstuf order page?
Nope.
They say on their FAQ page that it should be about 2 business days for FedEx to send the email, so I'll wait until tomorrow before getting really annoyed, but yeah.
I've ordered from them before.... hmmm...
I'd just contact customer service. That's what they're there for.
It's kinda late tonight, but yeah, I'll do that i they don't send the email tomorrow
RightStuf has some good CS of you haven't dealt with them before.
I'm just worried that it's actually a fedex issue and not an rightstuf one.
That said, haven't dealt with either CS, so, yeah.

Pacing gets better as you go along.
If you are interested you should probably just read the manga and watch the anime as supplement.
Stuff starts happening in the next episode
Indeed.
Gokukoku no Brynhildr 03
Well things certainly escalated. RIP
any notion of death being meaningful in this show as it seems they're going to immediately revive her ?

Bring Moe back.
Good Luck Girl SAVE is DVD only though, unless you don't mind. I figured i'd just wait for the holiday sale to snag the BDs from either Amazon or TRSI.
Seconding this. They're usually pretty nice to work with and very helpful.

Great writeup, pretty much sums up all my problems with the show.
It's always easier to write a long piece about why something sucks instead of praising it
Since Jarmel did a pretty good job at conveying why the show is bad, I won't try to argue our different tastes, people like different things after all and that's perfectly fine.
The only thing I'd like to comment on is that last remark, maybe I used the wrong word but there's a difference between "bland" and "generic".
Charlotte borrows a lot from older shows but that doesn't really matter, all the tropes are in this are used pretty well and it results in a cast where I actually like most of the characters, everyone has at least one strong dynamic with another character which is something that Classroom Crisis severely lacks. The powers are also a clever addition and are used pretty well.
So I'm not saying that Charlotte is some sort of masterpiece or something but in the end it has a very strong sense of what it actually wants to be (even if that conflicts with what the viewer wants the show to be).
I'm not even going to talk about the most recent episode because after that, nobody can say that this show is "bland". Even if that episode completely missed it's mark it was still entertaining. Charlotte is pretty generic but in the end it's also fun and engaging in some way.
So this is where Classroom Crisis completely falls flat, there's nothing in the show that spices things up, neither a super strong dynamic between characters nor an interesting plot, it's this just this mess of every different anime theme/trope they could find just thrown in there for the sake of, I'm assuming, appealing to as much people as possible.
So obviously, if it's done right this can actually result in a pretty good show, there's probably some guy out there who would enjoy a "Bussiness/Sci-fi/Drama/Combat/Slice of Life/Comedy" show but would you really say that the show comes close to actually delivering on even one of those subjects?
Everything Bussiness related falls completely flat since it's really not grounded to anything in reality, there's no tension when our character can magically conjure up any money they happen to need in one brainstorming session.
Jarmel already touched on most of the other things so I won't go in any detail to explain why all the characters in Classroom Crisis are unlikeable and just plain one dimensional.
When he's thinking about perverted things his inner Aragi really shines.
Check out the AnimeGAF shows of the year threads in the OP, lot's of great stuff in there.

I personally think I would have thought much less of the show if I hadn't seen 11.5. For me it made it a true serialized experience rather than just a series of stories stitched together with loose story development.
I can't remember if the novel writer gets the credit for 11.5 or the Kyoani writers/directors, but it's one of the few times I was impressed with characterization in anime in terms of being able to use the medium of television.
(Endless Eight is still the best television event of course lol)
Well and just Oreki going from being exposed as a fraud of the highest magnitude to suddenly being back to his old self again in the festival arc.
200 bucks for 3 concerts is probably good considering the normal pricing. I wonder if they're subbed?
I know. Yuri Bears ruined it though, so what can I do. lol
Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun is a fantastic comedy from last year. I highly reccomend it!

I guess you missed Non Non Biyori and Barakamon.
These too. Also, if you enjoy NNB, there's a second season airing now.

Not that Classroom Crisis is very good, but I don't understand the criticism that it's trying to be to appeal to everyone by being everything. It's not really all that atypical in that amount of things it is tackling. Charlotte is even worse when it comes to tonal shifts and trying to cover multiple genres, but that's Jun Maeda for you.

Eh, it's more trying to appeal to everyone and in the end spreading yourself so thin that it appeals to nobody, and Classroom Crisis tries to appeal to a lot of things, it's pretty atypical if you ask me.
Charlotte is like what? "drama" and "comedy", in the end something like episode 7 was such a huge tonal shift that it's actually enjoyable so it gets a free pass, something like having Nagisa being abused by his parents isn't fun, watching Yuu going on some crazy rampage is.
In the end Classroom Crisis is boring and Charlotte isn't so I'm going to nitpick a lot more with Classroom Crisis, maybe most of my critisims can also be applied to Charlotte but at least it's fun.
Like I said in my previous comment:

How? The show is bland and generic, but it's not more tropey than your average show. It's not particularly pandering either. Your critique here is so vague I don't even know what you are trying to say about the show. Mixing business drama with slice of life comedy isn't such an overreach, most shows probably have some slice of life comedy thrown into them. That it's not executed well is the problem.

Yeah, this is basically what I mean (and said in my previous comment).
I read your comment pretty late since I came up with a bunch of other things I wanted to say about the show, sorry about that
If you're going to appeal to a lot of things and then fail at that I'm going to complain about it. If they just tried one thing and made it "decent" the show would've been better I think, now it's just a Jack of all trades, master of none situation. Being more focused on either "a group of kids building rockets and having fun" or business politics and producing the show with that mindset from the beginning could've improved the execution.
Super Late Edit:
Aside from quality, when one of your episodes is a detailed explanation of your science facility, followed by an episode about trying to get a labor union on your side, when there's also a Beach/Steambath episode and an episode revolving around taking over a spaceship you could wonder why this show is called 'Classroom Crisis" instead of "Identity Crisis"
