so duders, how did Golden Time turn out? Heard about the ghost thing but is that like show-killing or just some quirk that you can gloss over?

It was show-killing for me, but I think I'm the only one who actually dropped the show over frustration with all that business. So YMMV I guess?

it wasn't great before that stuff happened, but amnesia ghost shoveled the dirt into that grave.

Is there a way to explain what this ghost thing is with minimum spoilers? If not, could you PM me with the details?
it's in the synopsis
Banri Tada is a newly admitted student at a private law school in Tokyo. Due to the after-effects of an accidental fall from a bridge shortly after high school graduation, he lost all his memories from before then. At the time of the accident, Banri's soul had escaped from his body, and the "Spirit of Banri Tada" came into being, carrying his memories from before his mishap.

I don't really care all that much about it beyond its role in the narrative itself which is... kind of substantial I guess? I can't say for sure, we still have the second half of the show to go.

So then why did people not expect the anime to be horrible?

Well, I never saw a synopsis with ghosts mentioned. Certainly the amnesia, but I'm fine with amnesia. Plus we have the Toradora cred.

Not that I think its horrible. Hell its in my top 10. It and Log Horizon were really the only things this season where the week between episodes was painful.

That thread in OT is making me a bit more interested in Nichijou. Though my plate is getting a bit full at the moment so I may leave it on the backburner.

Surprised to see the love come out of the woodwork for it. I loved it, but it was definitely a hit or miss anime for a lot of people.
 
Well I did it. I caught up with Hunter X Hunter. (Full impressions coming later)

I'm sad now. I have no more Hunter X Hunter to watch, aside from the first movie.

Is the first movie any good? I would like to get ready for the second one in the OP.

hot, steaming, as melted butter slips into the cracks, drizzled with sticky sweet syrup OH GOD
Is Spice and Wolf and Initial D worth picking up? I see it's on Netflix and need something new to watch now that I'm done with X-files.

Alright. It sounded like people ITT don't like the show because of some ghost plot, but the synopsis mentioned right away there would be ghosts. Hence my confusion.

My problem wasn't really the ghost itself (although I didn't read the synopsis before starting and it is pretty dumb), but it's sort of symptomatic of my larger problem with the show. I found it legitimately frustrating to watch, because I felt like they'd consistently draw me in with a good episode or two and then throw out a really stupid plot twist or drama and just sour me on the whole thing. Then next episode and the cycle repeats.

Plenty of other people are still enjoying it though, so you should still give it a go if you're interested!

So
Yui was the dog owner and Yukino was the one that ran Hachiman over? lol can't wait to see what little family drama Yukino has waiting for her
Also not sure what the summer camp resolution was supposed to be about. The little girl's friends are assholes or something? I think she would have known this by now.

haha I made the thread just because I loved it so much. Doesn't hurt to try an episode out to see if you like it or not. That's what I do whenever something interests me.

While I am not the biggest fan of Shinobu, her full name does, in spite of how dumb it sounds, make me feel happy because it includes "Acerola" and I love those things.

I liked Nichijou overall, but as I've said before, it's really a mixed bag where some skits are great but others fall incredibly flat.

I'll give Nichijou a shot. Won't go looking yo particularly like it or dislike it. The genre has generally been hit or miss for me.

I like Nichijou, but I stopped watching it around episode 10. Should go back to it, but I always end up kind of fatigued with those episodic slice of life comedies. Same thing happened with Polar Bear Cafe.

I don't have any problems with Polar Bear Cafe, but before I hit the 10 ep mark I kinda felt "Well, this is cute, but not really all that funny to me, and I don't think it's what I am looking for at the moment."
 
I made it around the halfway-ish point for Polar Bear Cafe, should probably continue at some point. I just haven't been in the right mood for it.
