Haha. Maybe it's because I've already been through Planetes, but I find Akane to be the one that's more annoying. Go figure.

This is like if Che Guevara's face were printed on all kinds of t-shirts/caps/slogans and... oh.
Finally getting steamy here.

Annerose makes a comeback and we discover she had the hotz for Kircheis. Not that one could blame her, as redheads are pretty fabulous indeed, but surely that's something Reinhard should never know? I trust Hilde to remain silent 'til death do them apart.
Speaking of female power, Dominique was all sorts of foreboding in this episode. She is gently pushing Rubinsky towards doing something important before he hits the bullet, because, as she explains it, Reinhard's plans have merely been inconvenience by his existence. Rubinsky may have been a masterful manipulator, but he has long since been rendered irrelevant by the Kaiser's ascension to the throne.
This episode ends with Oberstein calling names and kicking arse --more specifically, the Kaiser's. He makes the argument that Lohengramm's thirst for battle are simply too bloody, instigating a police state in order to command an exchange of hostages/fortress with the Republican government in Iserlohn. Here we see Oberstein's pragmatic point of view regarding human loss; he was, after all, the one that convinced the Kaiser to let the events on Westerland happen. This public voicing of his opinions against the Neue Reich will surely have him on the Kaiser's sword soon, but he is right: are the sacrifices of the few justified by the needs of the many? Forget the silly "dying in battle" honour schtick, this is surely the best way to peacefully engage with Julian's forces.

Anyways, more of what made Haganai, Haganai. Typical episode where they try something to practice for when they have friends, this time writing a relay novel, with pretty predictable results. But who cares? It's more Haganai.
RIP long-haired Yozora, you will be missed. Now I have no reason to give a shit about her.

Hahaha, that's actually pretty clever. Panty & Stocking did a similar thing in the Transformers-themed episode. Hope you watch that show at some point.

Now that I remember, I did see the first episode way back when it first aired. Not really sure why I didn't keep up with it.
So is Haganai worth watching?
I started the first episode one mornning but I passed out on my keyboard and woke up four hours later with killer leg cramps.
So... despite writing the source material, and having input on the show itself, which adapts the exposition-heavy novels into an exposition-heavy show... uh, okay.
Also you can't just hand-wave away clumsy "worldbuilding" as something that's required for a scifi work. Most of the convos with the old prosthetic man are unneeded.
I'm pretty sure Hix never finished Utena.

It has its highs and lows. I think anyone who enjoyed late-nineties "edgy and profane" cartoons should find something enjoyable out of it. It's a love letter to late-night non-sequitur animated comedies.
Who?
I need to get you on more cel-animated cartoons.
Hix.
Another poster worth bringing up if we're opening a conversation about mob disapproval driving people from the thread.
He's probably watching Hidamari cause stretching it just makes it better.

Ah, silly widescreen dude. Now I remember him.
Behaviour like this is why I stay away from Hidamari.

Chuunibyou is so good. Taps into complex feels in that effortless way that great anime like Azumanga and K-On manage. I hope they don't do something stupid like having the fantasy elements turn out to be real.
Dog Days s1
1. At least it was better than Twelve Kingdoms.
2. Yet another show that allows garden defilement.

In all of the stupid plotting featured here, the worst is them forgetting about the cell phone at the end. Shinku finally gets his second life experience and they forget to text a retelling.

I think that was probably just pizzaroll that drove him away.

Ep7-10 comes out next month I think.
Awesome. Any idea how often they come out?
It's like 3-4 months per volume of 4 episodes. I don't think the series is going to finish until the end of 2013, since it's 26 episodes. Vol.4 comes out in Feb 2013.

Highly doubt it ends up like that.

Its pretty clear none of it is real.
Medaka Box Abnormal Episode 03
Oh man completely forgot about Megane Twintailed Medaka- HNNNNNNGHHHH
Good episode. Lots of talking in the first half besides that awesome kick from Zenkichi. Oudo is totally Gilgamesh 2.0 and Tomokazu's voice would've been a perfect fit for his character. Oh well. Second half was great with the door scene and with the introduction of the first Thirteen Party member the group will face. I enjoyed Shigusa's fight and all in the manga but looking at the preview for the next episode
.
I'm pretty happy with this adaption so far and I'm totally looking forward to next week. Should be great.

So AnimeGAF, I'm going to start watching Legend of the Galactic Heroes this weekend. I already have seen the first prelude movie (My Conquest is a Sea of Stars), but I am now confused on what to watch next. As far as I can understand, there are three possible ways to begin this show:
1) Watch the second prelude (Overture to a New War) then start watching from episode 1;
2) Watch the second prelude, then start at episode ?? (I heard the movie covers the first few episodes);
3) Don't watch the second prelude, just start on episode 1.
So, what's the preferred course of action here?

I did route 3, but most people here will tell you to go with route 2.

Cool. It's like how Haruhi should have been.
I find that hard to believe

Watch Overture to a New War and then start with the 3rd episode. Overture is an expanded and improved version of the events of the first two episodes, so there's no real reason to watch those unless you feel like seeing the differences.
And you were wrong everytime. I wasn't even here, anyone who defends Endless Eight is wrong.
I dropped Planetes because of her. And space Ninjas. But mostly her.

He didn't actually leave because of that, did he?
I don't know why he left (and he did post in the Spring thread), but I do know that he didn't post Utena impressions past episode 2, even though he said he was enjoying it.

The end of episode images, the respective duos on each team, I guess. So many otps.

Aw. That's a shame.
Considering the tone of the show I was surprised how subdued it was for an OVA. Especially considering the PV.
Interesting. Is the show shown during 1975 the inspiration for the YuruYuri intros?
Mini eyebrow fan?
Well I can relate. I love sleeping.
Though I try to refrain from napping during the day.

Indeed ... but (oboro) is much much better
Alright, many thanks.
I'm pretty fond of it.
Fun and attractive characters, and Buriki's character art is beautiful (though it seems a lot of people feel Denpa Onna did a better job of bringing it to animation).
I will say that the TV series starts out enjoyable and then kind of peters out as it goes along, so the most fun is in the first half, but overall I recommend it.
A shame really, I enjoyed reading his impressions. Not sure if it was because of the forced wide-screen thing, though. I thought most people were joking about that with him.

No, I wouldn't bother. It's very unmemorable.
Kingdom - 11-12
This really could be the ugliest show ever made, and I've watched Kannazuki no Miko, so that's saying something. The 2D parts are ugly but tolerable, but when the CG kicks in some character faces literally look nothing like they did in 2D, it's extremely ugly and fucked up.
But I am having fun with it, I won't lie. It has that classic shounen formula done in a stupid but fun way, the main character is annoying as fuck but you can't help but be interested to see what's the next stupid shit he'll pull off and the ugliness just adds to the overall entertainment value of the show. I feel bad, but I will watch this until the end.
No GIFs from me, sorry
