I'm really debating whether I should give up on No.6. The second episode was...ok. Oh, and how good is Usagi Drop? There are many claims that it is the best anime ever. Sadly it ended up inflating my expectations too much, so i ended up dropping it for later after ~50 episodes. To me it felt a bit like Code Geass trying to take itself far too seriously with two sides taking turns winning decisive battles by using ridiculous plans. It did have much better characters though. | ||

Yes and the battles were really just lasers pewpewing at each other. | ||

Better characters... Suzaku; I killed my dad because I hate war, and then I became a soldier. | ||

The guy is saying stuff like "Taking itself too seriously!" when it doesn't take itself any more serious than any other normal war story. I guess he wishes that Reinhard and Yang went to the same High School together on the side, and do stupid stuff there like take command of a fleet to bake a pizza. And ridiculous strategies? I agree, flanking, feints, pincers, charges, and other normal battlefield tactics that they use in LoGH are all ridiculous. They should have just continuously blown up the ground under the enemy in every single battle ever. Or maybe hack into their communication systems every single battle, and LOL WE READ UR MOVES. Then it wouldn't have had ridiculous tactics. lol, I didn't even read your reply, what does Gundam Syndrome have to do with LoGH? I heard what you said it was on IRC, and I'm puzzled as to how that is relevant to LoGH. | ||

You don't understand how the japanese langauge works. This is also the fault of the subbers, for translating literally instead of what was actually meant. | ||

the next line is (IIRC) "...that's the way it should be." He's commenting on why people not dying when they are killed (via h4x regeneration rates) is wrong, which isn't as stupid as the quote makes it look (it's still funny taken out of context though). | ||

Well, Code Geass makes sense as an attempt to parody everything anime at the same time so it's impossible to take seriously. The battlefield tactics of LoGH isn't any problem, they are usually reasonable. + Show Spoiler + The problem is that when one side gets a significant advantage, either the other side starts pulling off some crazy stuff or the first side does uncharacteristically idiotic stuff. Capturing a mini death star with a small group of sword armed soldiers makes sense, Yang is a genius. Then let the previously excellent commanders of the Empire throw away a couple of fleets and another mini death star trying to take it back. It's also a good thing Yang passed on those brilliant tactics to his pupil so that he could capture that Imperial destroyer that got in the way. If nothing else works when the empire is about to win a decisive battle, why not just invent some new physics to stop them. | ||

I haven't played steins;gate, but from what I've heard from those who have, it's apparently faithful to the source material, less on the side character arcs, mostly the main story line. I would've thought you'd be interested in the disappearance since you watched the first season of haruhi. O well, the other recommendations I thought would've fit the slice of life ones you've watched. How about - bakemonogatari and madoka =D. | ||
