Damn Inou-Battle's episode was really intense for such a happy SoL RomCom. Really gets me hooked with those dramatic pieces in what should be a happy anime, for example my love for HaNaYaMaTa last season. Damn the Seiyuu Saori Hayami (Also voices Miyuki from Mahouka and Ayase from OreImo) did such a good job in that one episode and has completed boosted my respect for her and the rest of the Inou-Battle series.

Inou-Battle is a fun series about a Chuunibyou (8th Grade Syndrome, who fantasizes about having powers like in an anime) and a group of friends in his literature club, which they have suddenly gain magical power and in hopes of fighting evil, however ended up just living their lives normally. Nothing super amazing about it until this episode with such impact, it has some good laughs and will uplift your spirit most of the time.

Is there an actual plot or is it the 'art'

It's just shorts combined into 24 minute episodes of hilarity. No actual overarching plot.

Parasyte though.........

Just started Durarara.

Spoiler
Where the **** has this been all this time...


And dat latest episode for Parasyte...

This series seriously wins.

Keeluah 11-20-2014 02:32 AM

Why must there be so many AoTS? Parasyte was so good. Story-wise F/SN UBW hasn't keep as much interest as Parasyte has.

iMask is one of those Ecchi Harem fans, so don't mind him too much. I enjoy Trinity Seven for it's humor and that's pretty much it, I read the manga. I wouldn't go as far to say it's even close to AoTS especially with all these competition with F/SN, Shigatsu, Psycho-PASS 2, Parasyte, and Shingeki no Bahamaut.

Finished Welcome to the NHK.

Very average series with a subpar ending. When the story needs to be serious, it excels, but that only happens for 5-6 episodes out of the 24. Had a couple of funny moments, nothing memorable.

I seriously cannot get over had good the animation is in Fate/StayHype

twilit 11-24-2014 03:47 AM

Finished Mahouka somthin-or-whatnot today (the magic high school one from last spring). It was pretty okay. Ending couldve been better.

Todays AgK was a nice battle. More and more characters going down like flies left and right. It was nice to see Esdeath fight.
Yesterday, I considered dropping SAO2 twice in 30minutes. The only thing that saved that decision was Kiritos dramatic entry there at the end.

Praise our lord and savior Tatsuya Shiba for he is the one true god of this world.

Assuming we're talking about knee to the face part, which at that point, dunno why you're debating about dropping it now, might as well finish it.

twilit 11-25-2014 12:03 AM

considered dropping because of the sudden new characters and quest that seems as boring as the last. And the scenes with Asuna's mom being a b*tch, and Asuna acting like her online life is more important; those scenes are infuriating.

Oh, and if anyone is just craving for a mutant zombie + walking fish combo apocalypse, take an hour out of your day and go watch Gyo: Tokyo Fish Attack. Not a regrettable decision at all.

Mother Rosario sucks, the novel sucked too imo. They need to bring Underwold out already

Been watching Golden Time. Finished episode 16, but I need a break cuz too much feels.

Started Watching Welcome to the NHK, absolutely hilarious so far. For an Anime made in 2006/, it really still feels relevant 8 years later(especially because the original novel is from 2002). Only seen 2 episodes and its amazing. I shouldnt be watching anime at 4:30 am

The MC is so naive tho lol, I love it xD

edit: oh my god the level of detail in this anime is ****ing hilarious

Spoiler

The old clicking noise that used that older computers used to make. The massive pile of tissues next to the garbage that forms while playing ero games, ever so implicitly existing. Its just comedy gold right here, it's not your standard anime cliche humor. It feels like a realistic setting.

We won't see it for 2 years if it follows S1 to S2, that's if they animate the Underworld Arc instead of rebooting.


I'm still pissed how the ending to Akame ga Kill is turning out.

I guess thats true.... Underworld Arc would at least be a whole season.

Also, yea they skipped like 20 of the manga's sorta pisses me off.

How can I be satisfied with two episodes if they keep killing me with those damn cliffhangers?

Talon 11-27-2014 02:07 AM

someone give me a romance focused show with major ups and downs which give you the huge feels and no dated **** with art that looks like it was ripped from dragon ball z

something like "Suki"-tte ii na yo

White Album 2, don't watch the train wreck that was White Album. White Album two basically holds almost no connection to the first one besides the fact that they revolve around the song White Album. Highly underrated due to the first series.

Also Ef-Tales of Memories was good, somewhat confusing the first two episodes since they constantly switch between two stories going on at the same timeline.

5 Centimeters per Second, perfect example of realism in romance that can be found no where else. Slow yet heartbreaking series that is a must for all romance fans.

Tyler 11-27-2014 03:25 AM

I'm on episode 14 of Welcome to the NHK and I have to say it's a lot better then what I was expecting. I rewatched it up until episode 4 again, but this time with my sister and it felt more enjoyable than when I watched it alone.

this?

Keeluah 11-27-2014 05:19 AM

Yeah. Another good thing about the movie that most romance series fails to do, is that the movie doesn't spoon feed you, as in tell you about everything that is going on and forces you to think a specific way. This series lets the actions do the talking with tons of symbolism, allowing you to interpertate everything on your own. The romance is never told, but you can feel it sort of thing.

My personal favorites:

Toradora: Lots of feels.

Clannad:
Starts off a bit silly but as you go further it gets more dramatic.

Golden Time: I'm not done with it yet. Initially feels a bit cliche and annoying, but it eventually gets a rather dramatic plot.


It feels quite relevant to anyone living the college life though. Mature themes, characters are living quite the exciting life. MC is a lot more extroverted than in most anime, so if you're an extrovert, you may relate more.

Does your sister like Welcome to the NHK? How old is she? It seems like a niche kind of anime that would appeal to an introverted male.

Im finished episode 10 of welcome to the NHK. It's comedy value seems to slow down as the series goes on, jokes get more cliche. It begins to focus on the story, which saddens me because it always seemed mediocore, and the comedy value is what made the show good.

let's not confuse people, the series is good. It's just improving itself with each episode. It's just amazing, only thing I don't like is Hitoe, i just don't like her character at all.
