The first episode was 43 min long and had good JC staff art. The story so far seems to be focused on detective work done by a bunch of NEETs and a loli hikkikomori. The first episode was pretty good and I am looking forward to the next one. An overarching plot was not yet visible so it might be that the anime will be more episodic. | ||

I was watching it and going "ooh wow, this seems pretty decent" *Enter annoying cliche pedo-fap-material-character In about 20 seconds i went from intrested to clicking the stop button. From what i gathered before my finger reflexed was that it struck me as a poor man's Durarara. Wich would be silly because you can just download that for free and not waste your time with this one. I was actually invested for a bit but once that cliche loli thing blobbed onto the screen it felt like a dagger to the heart. I don't understand how people can put up with that. It's like in the middle of a scene a big fat pepsi logo appears in the center of your screen and refuses to move. Everyone knows they put those characters in for the Japanese otaku crowd to sell figurines. I just don't take such obvious marketing that well i suppose. | ||

I don't see what's wrong with it. Especially since you conveniently left out the context. For all we know, the girl on the left has some health issues and needs help dressing herself. | ||

It is one thing to judge after a few episodes and seeing no content, it is another thing to just go "omg obvious marketing fuck this shit". | ||

But I guess I'm gonna start on the new season....starting with the little Japanese girl in Europe and JC Staff thingy.... Cannot wait for Usagi Drop though....I thought it looked really good.  And Tonight. Just watch Nichijou with me. :D | ||

I have the rest of the week off for vacation so, gimmie the goods! Well, I think only a few shows have premiered yet, and I haven't gotten around to watching any of them (though I DL'd Kami-sama no Memochou and Croissant). And of course there are a few shows running over from the spring season too. Edit: And as always, look at the chart to see if anything catches your eye. | ||

I guess just help me keep an eye out since I don't have a ton of time this week with going out and doing things this week. | ||

Dude that one guy looks like Lelouch. And that chick looks like Nunnally. WTF IS THIS SHITTY GEASS RIPOFF Edit: Just watched Ikoku Meiro no Croisee. Yune has touched my heart in many ways. I hope they can keep the theme of two blending cultures, because it's awesome. I'm reading all the scanned manga chapters now, and it seems that the different culture aspect is continued, along with amazing art. I have high hopes for this anime. http://www.mangafox.com/manga/ikoku_meiro_no_crosee/v01/c000/1.html I found it kinda funny though, because while I understand that this is made for a Japanese audience, you're just supposed to nod your head and pretend that the characters are speaking French, so it sounds funny when they say that the loli can't understand them. "We're both speaking Japanese, but you probably don't understand me, because you don't speak French." | ||

I'm interested to see where it goes though. The pacing is just right for now. | ||

So I don't know where to re-start. Goddamn it. But it's still worth playing. I shall persevere... All of you should play it. *cough Ecael cough* | ||
