I bumped it down to an 8.

I am willing to retroactively drop the show to a 3 if Volume 9 spoilers do not go the way I want them to go.

and which way would that be? feel free to use spoilers

52.7% compatibility.
Those ratings are never accurate, it claims we have 87.3% compatibility.

So events in a completely different medium change your view of a show?

You're not making this any easier on yourself!

OreImo spoiler speculation
Kuroneko better win hard, I'm talking time skip 10 years where they show her happily after ever with kids and a stable job with a loving husband, while Kirino is living life as a bum who is completely cut off from all friends and family. I will not tolerate anything less.

its actually heading that way?


LOL
just looked at my irl friends MAL page and he gave oreimo an 8
I should have seen it coming though since he teaches at a middle school in Japan and has desktop wallpapers of anime schoolgirls

OreImo novel spoilers through Vol 8/9
No. Things are still muddy as ever after Volume 8. Kuroneko started dating him but they broke up later on in the same novel. Volume 9's Cover has Kirino being held in her brother's arms wearing a wedding dress. Yeah.

so you're going to drop it to a 3 if it doesn't end in a 99% unlikely scenario? o_O

I'm not being serious about my scenario, but was being serious about the route it takes. Kirino is the worst. I won't like the show any more if that's where they are going.
 
Moe isn't pointless. Cute girls doing cute things is a genre unto itself, though it can be combined with sketch comedy very easily.

what about new-age chipmunk moe?

Are we following game reviewer scales now?

If there was a way I could use the 20 to 80 scale for anime I would.

I basically use my own 50 to 100 scale. I don't give anything lower than 5 unless I find it truly reprehensible, there's only a few shows I find that bad.
 
As in game reviewer terms, only mediocre shows should get 50. Truly reprehensible is, like, a 1 or a 2. Come on, man. 5 is average.
 
Holy wow this thread moved fast.
I did that on purpose see below

For like the 28th time? I think the bingo card was filled in the first 10 pages of this thread! We're currently on page 147!

Sure if we go by the duration of the whole thread, but if I reset the bingo card from between when I fell asleep last night to when I woke up in the morning then....

I probably missed some, but it's a basic summary of what's happened over the last couple of pages. O_O

I was close to calling Bingo for 'E' (PS E6) but I wasn't sure about the 'direction v writing' until probably today. So yeah, calling 'E'.

Also, I recall N1, O1, G3, and maybe A3, O4, O5, G5, A6. Not that I'm going through the last 147 pages of the thread though.

If I went back to page 1, the whole board would be filled with the excessive post count being the exception, it'll be better to reconfigure the board so it suits a week by week basis.

Steroyd. You forgot discussion about how KEY Anime sucks.

They suck really bad.

Yeah Icarus didn't talk about Key anime, so i didn't circle, on that note he's going to run out of Key anime's to watch eventually. Poor soul.

Hellsing 8
I dont know what I watched exactly
but it was great
now to wait another 2 years for the next part
It's not by Madhouse anymore. Maybe Graphinica and Kelmadick are actually able to meet their deadlines.
 
I still have to buy those Helssing Ultimate DVDz. Question: Will they do a complete collection once the OVA finishes? Also, how many will there be?
 
Ouran High School Host Club Drama overall
3 episodes in and it's the actor that's playing Tamaki is the saving grace of the show and fuck nekozawa who keeps appearing in every episode,who the fuck thought of using him often. Oh and the narrator for the show is narrated by anime version of Haruhi aka Sakamoto Maaya.

I didn't know they made a Drama out of it. I loved the Anime, so I'll probobly going to check it out.
 
Uchip said:
who and what??
The two studios now handling the production. They already did VIII, by the way. And no, I've never heard of them, either. I believe Graphinica was once part of Gonzo or something.

It's difficult to express. I'm pretty sure I don't mean 'wrong' in a moral sense, since I'm fairly tolerant of goddamn near anything, but... the whole series just felt off.
Strong females scare you?~ :p

OreImo deserves an 11.
Can not be understated!

I appreciate the summation. The bingo card will always fill too quickly
