Sket Dance 17 - Bit of a more serious episode. Once again, they handle it pretty well, I think.
Roman was totally robbed, though.
Usagi Drop 4 - Felt this episode was a bit of an improvement, dealing a little with the circumstances of Rin's birth more than just Daikichi's adjusting to being a parent. Rin's still adorable, by the way. That little girl doesn't know what she's talking about.

Basically my thoughts as well.survivor said:
Looks like it's $59.99. I'm sad there's no Blu-Ray version, but day one for this.survivor said:

Well there is one way to get me to not buy it.survivor said:
Man, Aniplex is really on fire at Otakon. Besides the sub-only DVD Oreimo release, here's what else they've got coming:
- definite plans to dub Madoka
- "in negotiations" for the new Rurouni Kenshin anime
- Star Driver subbed streaming on Hulu/Crunchyroll
But of course since it's Aniplex you'll be paying through the nose for it all.
e: Oh, and Funi just got the Sora no Otoshimono movie too.

Penguins seemed pervier this episode than usual. The amount of sheer FAIL concentrated in Ringo's person is hilarious. The ending was super creepy.
Sacred Seven 04
Slower episode this time around, but there were enough decent gags to make it enjoyable. I'm nostalgic for bendy straws now.

Fun. Pure fun. The show is so self aware and clever for what it is - it's a joy. And Kanade continues to be awesome - such a nice, manipulative, caring and sadistic bitch.

Oh boy... Yes. Absolutely. God, this show is so incredibly insane and awesome. I know I won't like the ending. I know it won't and can't end well. It's a train wreck bound to happen, in super slow motion. But it's just so good.Hitokage said:

This is like the opposite of Blood-C. The wham episode already happened and now it's in a formulaic mundane school flashback phase. Not bad though since things are actually progressing.
Also, Michael's weapons are awesome.

Aniplex obviously doesn't want my money. Blu-rays of OreImo or NO SALE.
Mayo Chiki! 4 - HNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
Show is so much fun. From Subaru letting out her cute side
to Kureha wrestling bears and crushing on Subaru to Kanade messing with all of them. It's so good.

BakaTest Ni 4: So this is just the "troll Yoshii" show, except it has none of the charm of say, Nichijou and Yuko's constant suffering. I wonder why they changed the direction of the show so drastically... unless, basically, all the fan demand is for more crossdressing.

What's the point of having dedicated animu threads if everyone is just gonna discuss them in here?
There's no point if most of the people watching the show are AnimeGAF regulars anyway. I always understood the point of dedicated anime threads to be a place for discussion of the show that people who don't want to wade through the craziness of the general Anime Thread can participate in too. That's the difference between successful threads like OreImo and Panty and Stocking and apparent failures like The Idolm@ster.Regulus Tera said:
I'll do my best to keep it alive once I watch the newest episode, though!

We had this discussion many pages ago in this very thread.
I would resurrect the IM@S thread if I had a place to host my GIFs at the moment.
That is pretty much all I expected or wanted out of the show. Are you upset there aren't moe versions of the characters having pointless battles anymore?firehawk12 said:
In other news, I will begrudgingly admit that IM@S 4 was a pretty good episode in an otherwise dull series. It certainly shows that the series has some shred of promise though.

What really killed the thread was the overall average-ness of the 2nd and 3rd episodes. The 4th episode was much better and the 5th episode is the beach episode, so there's hope for resurrection!

This is actually the main problem with the spinoff threads, people still talk about the show in the main thread. This problem isn't limited only to the IM@S thread.

I guess I don't really know what I want from the show... it's just a strange direction to go in after the last season arc which dealt with the caste system.Dance In My Blood said:

The thread would probably be way more hilarious and awesome if they let people post delicious fanart.
What usually happens though is that like somebody else said the spin off threads kind of die because well there is discussion of the anime in this thread so then going to the other spin off ones seem to be pointless at times, imo anyways.
I get what you mean, and there is definitely different levels of ambition with the overarching plot, but at the end of the day it's just a comedy. I'm actually somewhat relieved the series is moving in a different direction because like most second seasons of anime it is largely reaching into the same bag of tricks. At least with a new direction there's at least something that feels new. The Baka OVA pretty much stretched me to my limits on where the series was going with the first season.firehawk12 said:

This was considerably better than the previous 2 episodes. It helped that this episodes did not feature exceptionally annoying characters like the previous ones.
The Producer being a non-character continues to be the show's Achilles' Heel. This show really feels like a massive missed opportunity, in that the missteps of the writing seem fairly obvious. I'm also not sure why they feel the need to keep the backstories of all of the girls a mystery.

That's a part of it I feel, the overarching plot and the comedy that went along with it in the 1st season, made the season enjoyable overall, while so far Bakatest has been fun to watch, I get the sense that with the change in direction they're going to run out of ideas sooner rather than later.
Not that I'm asking for an exact replica of season 1 but do something like bring in a rival school perhaps.
Branduil said:
Just as Bella is a non-character, The producer has to be a non-character. That's the point, and especially so in IM@S's case. They've got far too big a cast to spare any of the spotlight on someone who's, for all intents and purposes, nothing more than an audience insert.
I can't see how anybody thought this was going to be something more than it is.
