The shocking ending is that he ends up with the girl you least expect.cajunator said:

cajunator, don't listen to what anyone else says. Even if you know the ending, the show is still legitimately good. Animugaf considers it a train wreck, but they rarely speak for the majority. Many places have rated it highly and not as a "so bad it's good" kind of show. Just keep watching and judge for yourself.

1. Do not insinuate how it ends
2. Do not send people fucking PM's saying what kind of ending it has
3. Do not keep pushing it. Just say, "have you watched School Days? check that out"
4. just step the fuck away and let the person watch it and follow along. Don't say anything.
5. I seriously don't know what a boat has to do with this show yet.
6. I also dont know what the ending actually is so I'm going to watch it and just see what you guys were on about. SincE I know that it has a bad end, posting episodically is kind of pointless now.
Let this be a lesson GAF. I'll do my best not to ruin it myself for anyone else.
We now return you to whatever the hell this thread talks about.

That is all. Sunrise trolled me like a fucking master. They played me like a fucking goddamned violin. No, like a Stratocaster! Jesus fucking Christ. I KNEW there had to be a reason why
This show, it is amazing. I thought I had it figured out, and that I anticipated the troll, and effortlessly parried it aside, only to get hit unexpectedly by a second troll hidden inside the first troll! A DUAL-TROLL COUNTERATTACK! Sunrise hit my weak point for MASSIVE DAMAGE!! WARNING!! CORE DAMAGE IS CRITICAL! DESTRUCT IN 10 SECONDS!! INITIATING EMERGENCY RECOVERY!!

Ryoko still appeared in the OP even after she "died" at the end of the last episode!

Oh hey, I get to listen to Kana more now. Sweet. :3

Not like I ever bothered to look. This is one of those shows I could have legitimately been surprised by because I was going in blind like I did with Allison and Lillia, but people couldn't let well enough alone. If you spoiled it for yourself, whatever, that wasn't my problem to deal with, but I hadn't. In a way, I still haven't and I'd like to keep it that way if you dont mind.
I requested one but I decided I'd rather just salvage this train wreck and actually watch the show, so Im checking off the net right now until this show is over. that seems to be the only way to not find out about the rest of it. I'll see you guys later.icarus-daedelus said:
Disregard the PM request.

I got bad news for all of you there. I am the main character of the Animu-GAF anime. I'm Lelouch, and right now, I COMMAND YOU!!
Jexhius said:
I got bad news for you, too. You're Suzaku. You have to kill me at the end. But don't worry, the ending is intentionally a troll which kind of but not really implies I survive!

1. As long has they said nothing direct, showing some excitement is alright. Plus it can only go 2-3 ways.
2. is that before or after you asked for the same PM?
3. The most we had was posters talking how viewing it changed their life
4. Yea on a discussion forum where users are anticipating reactions/thoughts of a specific show, not saying anything is a fucking pipe dream. Just long as its not a spoiler.
5. So ignore it?
6. Mission somewhat accomplished then? Plus it can be about the "Journey" also

French thingy 01
This show is weird. Its like its trying to fetishize 19th century france for its Japanese audience while showcasing how 19th century Europe fetishized Japan. It had some nice music and it has potential but it was a pretty standard episode for something like this.

Dead Leaves (rewatch)
Well, I don't dislike this is as much as when I first watched it. That sounds like an overly negative way to start this off but I just want to explain where I'm coming from.
While this movie is visually arresting in just about every single scene I don't actually like it very much. It just seems like a series of stylish scenes strung together into a sequence, which isn't necessarily a bad thing but I found myself rather exhausted by the half-way point. This seems to be because of the problematic pacing.
I don't think you can string together quite this many action sequences without the audience becoming tired of it, especially when the scenes are so complicated and energetic. Occasionally the movie takes a breather, which really helps, but it doesn't happen often enough.
Which is a shame because the majority of the action set-pieces are cool, of course. I did have some trouble watching the first police-chase one, however. Something about the way the repeating backgrounds strobed across the screen made it very hard to pick out what the hell was going on. This was a problem in a few other places, where there was so much on screen that I wasn't sure what exactly I was supposed to be looking at.
I'm not a fan of the works 'humour' either, or it's story and characters. But that's really neither here nor there when the main focus seems to be 'drawing things that look cool'.
In terms of movies that were just made as action animation showpieces I prefer Project A-Ko.

No, you see, it's kind of implied that I'm sort of not! So as far as you are concerned, I continue to exist in a plane between Sunrise wants to make another series with me, and Sunrise doesn't!
This is getting really meta...
Zegapain 15:
I'm tired of talking about how good this series is. Because it's really boring to talk about how good something is all the time.
So I'll share something instead. I don't like MyAnimeList very much. It's full of people who hate everything, like ANN Forums. NeoGAF is like that, too, you can always find people who hated it and will write a huge long review about how much it sucked. MAL and ANN are like the counterpoint to AS where everybody loves everything.
So I like to spend time perusing anidb.net. It's way smaller than MAL is, and most of the time I've found that of all the sites I read about anime, it is by far the most useful. Because it uses tags, instead of blog-like reviews. You just read the tags and see if they kind of follow what you might be interested. The most useful tag I have found at anidb.net is "Surprisingly Good". If you see the series has that tag, it's worth looking into. If the "Surprisingly Good" tag is really huge, that means a LOT of people have tagged it as "Surprisingly Good". Zegapain has a huge "Surprisingly Good" tag, so I took the chance on it.
Oh, right, Zegapain is really good. Where the hell did DiGiKerot go, anyways?
Irresponsible Captain Tylor 1
And I thought that I had exhausted the reserves...Seriously, it has to have been forever since I've had an older show spring up on me like this. It's amazingly animated. The music is down right awesome. Tylor is an incredibly drawing protagonist. And the humour just hits.
Top it off with some incredibly composed scenes (like above) and we've got a damn winner.
V - And captain dome spits game at the throne, like a boss.
Kamisama no Memochou Super Special One Hour Extravaganza 1
The first half was soooo dull. Somniferous, even. Then in the second half things turned into srs bsns all of a sudden but to no avail because I didn't really give a damn about what happened to any of these characters.
In conclusion, JC Staff should stop wasting time on this nonsense and just give me more Bad Aria instead.

[C] Finale
What is this I don't even...
So in the end it was all for nothing? Is that what Masakaki was saying at the ending? This show would have really benefited with more episodes to explain the extent and exact influence of the financial district on the real world. It had some great episodes but it didn't have enough room to give characters enough time to develop or enough time to explain everything I just watched.

He's right, though.
Touko-san is so moe~
Awesome.
You are breaking my heart by asking for more Bad Aria.trejo said:B-but I thought we were bros...
The ending was fucking stupid.Hellsing321 said:
Some CONGRATULATIONS-esque bullshit and then we find out that literally nothing was accomplished during the entirety of the series.
Do you seriously want more of something that's terrible over what could be a legitimately good show? Why?Unknown Soldier said:
