I went to check my total posts from Spring 2012 to Winter 2012: 1636 in total.

You guys are crazy with over 2000 posts.

Starting my backlog now and my first anime of the year is this. You guys weren't kidding about the faces being wide. I'm enjoying it so far and the show is nice and colorful. Favorite characters so far have been Hiro and the teacher. Not a fan of Miya so far but love her picking on Hiro.
 
Happy New Year, AnimeGAF. Here's to another year of anime being saved.

Here's a visible representation of the threads exponential growth. Yeah I sat down and worked it out:

So, at this rate, how long until each season is reaching an OT10?

Gundam 0080 6 FIN

Wow, even though I knew it happened, Bernie's death was rough. I do like how neither Chris nor Bernie were aware of Al during the encounter either. Sometimes that tests suspension of disbelief in other shows where pilots do.
I certainly see why this is so well received too. It's very much deserving of the praise even beyond dat mecha porn.

It's something special. The moment that always does it for me
is the very end when Al is crying and his friends tell him that it'll be okay because they'll have another war soon.

Going back to the first episode after seeing how it all ends is a really emotional experience.

Dear god, Cajunator averaged roughly 39 anime posts a day.

Holy shit. Maybe I've made that many in a day once or twice when I was really bored and watched a lot of stuff?

The post tiers look pretty balanced until you get to Jex and Cajun. Will need a ABF entry to see how that measures up to the others. Lower posts but they have high word count and huge hit boxes.

Kokoro Connect 14: It's been a few months since the TV broadcast ended but I don't find it difficult to recall the events that occurred since. I thought it was a fine show then and this first episode is more of that. The new phenomenon the group
(random telepathy)
encounters is perhaps more plain than the previous aging, body swapping and uncontrollable emotions but it serves its purpose well to focus once again on Iori and her identity issues.

The episode takes place on Valentines Day and there's some fun scenes to be had with the new heartseed gimmick in mind. Mostly at the cost of Inaba's embarrassment (her display of honesty to Aoki and Yui with regards to the romantic situation of her, Taichi and Iori is cute). Fujishima is a bro as always while being :sdburton.

I'm looking forward to see where they take this arc as it's back to a likely Iori centric arc while everybody else seems to be doing okay with their own issues. The conflicts this episode all arise from her after all.

Gotou is also apparently the jazz man. And Aoki is the most useless.

I liked the new ED segue into the preview as well. The song is pretty nice but that piano intro might be the best part. I love me some ED segue previews.

Hello, Kugiloli. I guess I'll have to look forward to you for a long long time.

I won't lie, I'm not exactly too thrilled to start this. The MC isn't helping either. Judging by how the first episode ended, I don't really expected him to be any useful and instead just conduct commentary and be whiny or clingy or whatever. Lots of terms tossed at me like I'm expected to remember or even have them stick but I guess I should keep watching. The action wasn't that bad, but I don't really have high expectations.

Oh well, gotta chug through this.

Yoshinoya changing clothes is one of best things I seen. I see where Miya fits in with the group now, she playful with Sae/Hiro and seems like a good friend to Yuno. My only problem is with mixing in real items with the animation.

My rankings are

Hiro
Yoshinoya
Yuno
Miya
Sae

In my opinion, you should just watch the movie. I don't remember if it covers all of the relevant material up to season 2, but it's more entertaining.

(I didn't finish season 2, so it might be bad to take advice from me.)

It only covers the first arc in the first season but it does it quite well. I'd recommend watching it over the equivalent episodes in the TV run but I don't think those episodes were bad or anything.

This is a 100% factual statement.

I concur.

A ship everyone should be on.

I reeeeeally hope we get some specials (or more seasons for that matter) after this. I don't want to say goodbye yet!
