Poor Dresden, nobody pays attention to his weekly sales posts.

Clearly you didn't read the follow up post to that.

 

[Hellsing321]

Lets forget about this and just talk about the awesome sales of HanaIro.

Suck it, haters.

Meh they're ok. Nothing to write home about.

Um... wow. Just when I think I've seen it all...

Why?

Because it's wonderful.

So you wanted Sakura to have a sexually developed body to offset what exactly?

Man, I had to miss people digging themselves further into a whole. Lame.

I still haven't gotten a tag. I don't know whether to be upset or happy about that--I'm thinking happy, seeing the kind of tags that Animugaf dishes out.

It's not that hard to get branded.

You'd think nothing would surprise me anymore, but then hidden gems like this get found.

Have you not seen Baccano or pretty much anything by Quentin Tarantino?

Non-linear chronology is awesome when it's done right, and actually serves a purpose.

Sadly, there are very few examples of that

Yeaaaah I don't know about that. I love the show but the first episode or two are incredibly difficult to follow. The jumping around gets much better as the show progresses but at the beginning not so much.

Baccano! is far more extreme. There's only like two threads, in general, happening in Penguin. That's like, nothing.

Did you even listen to their conversation? :/

You read such a comment and then bother composing a reply? You have a large heart.

Ao no Exorcist - 19

Birthday party episode? what the hell.... so what we can expect now, another season? fake ending?

 

[Jex]

Adaptations of two works by the same author. One "well produced" to an extent but the faults of the poor material lets it down over the long haul. The other people feel aren't perhaps as well directed, didn't get the attention the other show did, but is built on a more interesting foundation.

Edit: I shouldn't have explained this, instead you all should've just 'figured it out on your own' and looked for depth that wasn't there (rather than a well produced 4-movie remake which fixes those horrible script issues).

Well you make a statement that, to most people, would read one way e.g. the show on the left is superior to the show on the right, but you actually mean that the show on the right is superior (and that's not a very common opinion) then confusion sets in.

Durarara was a mess, but Baccano was a boring mess (from what I saw in the one episode I watched). Though, admittedly, I´m not a fan of complicated anime for complication´s sake. Penguin is dangerously close to that, but redeems itself by having a great cast of main characters, unlike the other two shows mentioned above.

Completely agree!

This is a dark path

Especially considering how lame Durarara! is.

Gotta love how classy the novel art for Senjou no Horizon is. Doomed from the start.

 

[cajunator]

WTF? she has NO WAIST.

 

[Jex]

Haven't watched S2 myself yet but when I think of moeblobs I never thought of Sawako. She's too plain and ordinary looking (which is a refreshing thing) to be a moeblob.

Yes, 'shoujo ordinary' as in perfect skin and flawless hair. Totally average.

 

[Branduil]

Being anime average would be pretty nice.

I like blondes, I like big boobs, I like big boobed blondes, but this might be too much.

I'd love to go to Japan one day, and see what is and isn't true about Japan via the anime I've watched.

Gotta love how classy the novel art for Senjou no Horizon is. Doomed from the start.

Boom shika boom?

Let a man dream, I say

 

[flawfuls]

Yes, they do.

Now, this is some BAD COMMUNICATION.

lol didn't know it was a real band.

Clearly its must see tv.

Makoto goes full-Makoto.

Makoto goes full-Makoto.

Nope, not even close

 

[Crash Station]

Dantalian no Shoka 6

So looks like we got an actual villain to look forward to. Of course I'm sure the anime will end before anything significant happens with them.

Also, Flam>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Dalian.

I do it because I love! Why can't you SEE that?

 

[darkside31337]

Yes, 'shoujo ordinary' as in perfect skin and flawless hair. Totally average.

If those are your only two redeeming physical traits as the female lead then yeah ordinary. Everybody has perfect skin and flawless hair in shoujo series.

 

[PdotMichael]

Makoto goes full-Makoto.

true makoto is sad

 

[Hcoregamer00]

i refuse to believe that mio and azusa are not related
maybe its the cheap moe art style

I wouldn't be surprised at one point the original manga author originally wanted to make them sisters or cousins, but then he realized that Yui and Ui is enough familial relationships.

 

[Haly]

Will watch for Makoto.

 

[7Th]

true makoto is sad

まこと=! 真

Isn't that what I just said?

 

[Articalys]

List of most prominent Makoto (based off tags from Danbooru, in no particular order):

[darkside31337]

So you were saying what I said? She's ordinary, I thought you were arguing she wasn't.

Best Makoto is cross-dressing Makoto.

Makoto cross-dresses frequently, you know.

 

[Haly]

Wait, Ace of the genshiken club?

 

[darkside31337]

Yeah that was kind of the joke, as there are quite several of these Makotos.

 

[7Th]

Yeah that was kind of the joke, as there are quite several of these Makotos.

I just remembered that Makoto also cross-dresses.

 

[jman2050]

Does karate expert Makoto count as cross-dressing Makoto?

 

[DrForester]

true makoto is sad

Just refer to her as Best Makoto, like we call Best Haruihi, "Best Haruhi" so there's no confusion.

 

[NewFresh]

Wait, Ace of the genshiken club?

Hes got the lady and the skills

 

[Instro]

Kamisama Dolls 8
Dog Utao is so kawaii.

Spoiler

I guess that girl at the end is the final character from the OP.

 

[jman2050]

But there are so many worthwhile candidates for Best Makoto, how will we ever keep things straight?

I completely forgot, they rarely ever refer to him by his first name.

The guy had all of one picture, and his name wasn't even a character tag!

Also I have some Saimoe results! Interesting split on which Strike Witches won and lost. Yuuko pulls the epic reverse troll on Mai for once by succeeding where Mai failed.

Yay!

I start to like you! Good, classy choice!

Best Makoto? You mean, the martial artist?
