The world where every episode has been mediocre since it went into the second cour this summer.;_;

By that logic every other show for example R-15, ninja tits etc is mediocre to great, this I cannot accept.
 
Hanasaku iroha 17 - Well at least this wasn't as lame as the yuina arc, but still pretty forgettable. I'm not dropping this show yet. I must REMAIN strong for team haniro (lol). Plus the structure of the show hasn't changed enough, that they can't get a another 3 or 4 good episodes out of it!
 
I guess I'll catch up on this season's stuff - PenguinDrum, Idolmaster, UsagiDrop, YureYuri, and that terrible crossdressing butler anime - before moving on to my next marathon session.

Mini-skirt Space Pirates still has a chance for Fall. BELIEVE.

But both examples are mediocre right now because of the censorship...

I'll kill you.

I haven't seen this episode yet, though.
I thought it was pretty dumb.

The episode also made me realize that I absolutely could not care less about any of these characters nor their interactions with each other so I see little to no reason to keep watching.

Oh wow, I forgot about this. Mini-Skirt Space Pirates is definitely a combination I approve of.

[QUOTE=Jintor]Take back calling it that, or take back watching it?[/QUOTE]
That terrible lie, yes.

I'm sure Ninja Tits sans censorship is great.

Finally got round to watching the 80% uncensored version with subs (Converter fail lol), and I'm shocked how I could potentially extract some enjoyment out of the show like that female samurai show Tsubuki Ran something even if you take out the huge tits, boob biting/licking and orgasming.

Of course it would depend on how episode 2 plays out in where this show is headed.

R-15 is still awful.

Finally got to these ones. It's someone named Kaneda Tomoko. :lol
Oh so it's Chiyo from Azumanga Diaoh then. There's other videos of Yu Kobayashi sans idol-personality. These are just some of the ones I saw. The last one especially at that minute mark makes me laugh.
 
The fucking madoka thread, I can't stop laughing

so good, so sad I missed out on that

damnit anime why do I have to go through mood cycles with you

I think there is a subtle difference between Space Pirates and Pirates in Space. The latter being people who actually dress in perceived 18th-century pirate garb while in space.
There is and it's the former:
The story centers around Marika, a spirited high school girl who keeps herself busy with the space yacht club and her part-time job at a high-class retro café. Suddenly, two men who claim to be subordinates of her dead father appear and demand that she assume command of the space pirate ship Benten Maru. According to the privateer ship's compact that was made during a war of independence a century ago, the ship must be inherited by the captain's next direct descendant. Marika finds herself embarking on a new life as a space pirate. - ANN

It's weird to see basically heightened personalities. Their idoru personalities are almost like another anime character they have to perform. :lol
 
Started up two new shows today, both starting with ka.

Kamichu 1 - This was very beautiful to look at, i think it's probably one of the best animated anime television episodes i have ever seen, very solid character animation, good art, pretty backgrounds etc, the whole thing also felt like i was watching a movie, good stuff, it definitely ticks all the right boxes in terms of personal taste with charming characters, mostly female-cast and a ghibli-like supernatural setting, but for some reason i didn't love it quite as much as i thought i would, still pretty good tho, and looking forward to more. (although i assume it won't be quite as good as the first episode).

Kaiba 1 - I saw this like years back when it aired and thought it was amazing, and i don't think i have changed my mind since then, the minimalist science-fiction atmosphere is just so damn effective, and I'm totally in love with the art direction, out of the two shows i started watching today, this is definitely the one I'm excited to see more of.

It's funny both shows seem to be taking the opposite progression in terms of quality
I can agree with this. It is strange how poorly the Yuina stuff turned out
Haniro was one of the best shows in spring, now it's one of the worst of summer
Losing me
nichijou was one of the worst shows in spring
Now you lost me
now apparently based on reception it's one of the best shows running in summer!
You're making sense again
 
Usagi Drop 2-3: Simply delightful. My show of the summer.

Nichijou 17: Ono Daisuke doing the crow was a fantastic casting call. The whole segment with the card house was fantastic, as was the one where Yukko tried desperately to not respond to Mai's trolling.

Hanairo 17: About what I expected. Still a good show, but something needs to happen soon.

No. 6 - 3: OH GOD WHY SHOW THAT? IN THE NECK OH GOD I CRINGED!! >_<

Lol, that would be quiet hard to do. You have to turn down your nonsense.

Beach service arc = actually bad.

Young Master arc = average and uninspired but not actually 'bad'.

That entire sequence had me on the edge of my seat to nearly wanting to throw up, but like Sion, I endured. I wish there had been some explanation of why it led to his hair, that banding showing, and eye color changing.
 
AnimeGAF, let me hear your thoughts!

Tentative T-shirt for our dysfunctional family:

Ideas for the back design:

Penguin's backs with "G A F" or "Monocle Moustache Meido" on them.
 
Miri said:
It should be on large print per shirt though.
Que?

You mean like one penguin per shirt? That might be a hard sell. We'd need clear orders ahead of time I imagine.

Yeah. It would be a bit harder of a sell, but for a design so minimalist, a larger print would grab the eye so much better.
 
Also.

Should it be Monocle Moustache Meido or Monocle Meido Moustache?

If I use their names on the back then "Monocle Moustache Meido " sounds better but otherwise Monocle Meido Moustache makes more sense.

I'm not sure how T-shirt printing works but I assume it costs less to print one design many times than to print multiple designs a few times on just as many shirts. So if the shirts had only one penguin each then the Meido one would probably cost more, since only I9 and cuilan would actually buy it (going by their affiliation in the eternal animeGAF war)

Meido should be in the center. In name & design, I imagine it looking better. The meido is the only one that differs at the top.

E: well...hmm
 
Aigis said:
Don't.

It's perfect the way it is.
So no back design? I was just considering having the text on the backs of the penguins.
 
Also the mustache penguin is clearly the best penguin; he's in the center, after all.

?

Having G.A.F. doesn't feel right but monocle mustache meido is a bit too wordy I think.
 
Mmmm, okay no point of having a back design if I'm not going to do anything with it. Waste of ink really :3

What happens when the Pendrum bandwagon moves on though? :lol
I'll make a new shirt :D

Gonna change the order to Moustache Meido Monocle.
