Anohana was pretty awful in my opinion. The dragged out parts of the story that could've simply been solved in one episode and the horrible melodrama that made me laugh more than anything was too much to bear. The OP and ED were nice though.

^Must watch, more so than Steins Gate imo as far as this year went.

AnoHana was stupid and had so much forced drama and stupid characters that it makes me want to throw up.

I kinda agree with you there. Its hard to defend Ano Hana when people bring up the "forced drama" part.

I mean, 6 year olds having romantic affairs? Give me a break. I still went with it and managed to enjoy the series nonetheless though.

I'm about to start Queen's Blade now :D. I should probably finish Elfen Leid soon, especially since I only have a few episodes left.

Elfen Lied...the only thing that would make guys scared of naked girls.

Ok guys, lets play a game. Lets see how well the ADT can spot what is a Gundam, and what is not a Gundam! For those of you who don't know, not all robots in "Mobile Suit Gundam" are Gundams. They are Mobile Suits. A Gundam is a special type of Mobile Suit. Can you guys pick out what is and what is not one, without cheating?

Here is how this works. I'll post a picture of the Mobile Suit, and then a poll with "Yes it is a Gundam", or "No it is not a Gundam" options. So just vote. Gogogogo:

Lots of votes since I last looked.

My reaction: LOL Ez8 being so close, although the vote is still in favor of yes. Zeta Zaku voted as not a gundam lol. The head was damaged, and they got the brilliant idea to just swap the head for a Zaku one, and that all the sudden makes it not a Gundam, apparently lol. I should have posted the RX-79[G] GM-head too, lol. The ReGZ (Refined Gundam Zeta) got a mostly yes one, including some gundam fans on IRC getting it "wrong". Hyaku Shiki (which was code named Delta Gundam in production) is not a Gundam, but apparently the Delta Plus (which was based on the Hyaku Shiki) is more of a Gundam than it, even though Delta Plus still was barely voted not a gundam.

Apparently the most Gundam one there was the Gundam Ground Type. The most not-Gundam was the Rick Dias, code named "Gamma Gundam" in development.

Iono I liked Anohana but I guess i understand that it is kinda rediculas 6 year having that many drama lol

Anyways, 6 episode in Serial Experiment Lain and it is confusing as hell. + Show Spoiler +

She became obsessed over "wired" which I am assuming is the "internet." Then a group of hacker called knight is hacking reality (i think? i dont really understand) and made her sister pretty much went insane. Men in black out side stalking her and she seems to have some explained psychic powers. She also became a computer wize over night. And now we have little kids praying in the sky and a larger version of Lain appear in the sky. Finally they introduced something that actually make some what sense and that is the experiment on Psyche children which is what I hope is going to eventually tie everything together. Hope this make sense in the end T_T

Does anyone remember the name of the anime. Group of 6 kids i believe all play together as young kids, like 6 years old then one of the girls dies and overtime they all split up and she then comes back as a ghost several years later but only the main character can hear her?

That anime just finished airing and you can't remember the name? really?

Maybe try posting in the Tech Support section in TL? I am not sure if we can help you or not lol

just try some other program to mount, poweriso, alcohol or something. I didn't have any problems installing clannad, the version didn't even require unicode switches...

Trying to finish Little Busters! before my break ends, meaning I had to eventually get through Kud route...WTF was that. That was a pretty terrible story. I especially hate that absolutely nothing is explained as to how Kud got into that predicament and how she escaped (aside from magic and the power of love). Mio's made a lot more sense and the only reason I didn't enjoy hers was because it was too predictable. I don't even like Kud as a character so it only annoyed me more how affectionate she (and Riki) was compared to other heroines so far. Oh well, on to Kurugaya's route.

edit: + Show Spoiler [Kurugaya route] +

noooooooo I was really enjoying this route. it was fun trying to capture her and she was so cute with all the blushing. world being a dream was really interesting and then it all just ends -_- not only is there no closure but probably my favorite heroine is the only one that doesn't get a happy ending? sigh...too sad to continue onto Rin route

It was working before, but then I get that dumb message. I guess I could just try some other shit and see if it works. Really though, I haven't touched it in so long, but for some reason I just wanted to get on it for a bit.

Are you serious? 6 year olds having drama is NOT that uncommon. It might be a BIT exaggerated, but the idea of having crushes on people and acting all childish about it is not uncommon in the slightest. You can not like the characters, and you can look at the show and say that you didn't enjoy the drama, but Anohana's perception of childish romance (which is why it seemed "dumb") and the aftermaths of dealing with the death of a loved one (trauma/depression/etc) at young age were pretty realistic in my opinion.

I have to agree completely with ZNF here.

I'm 10 episodes until Mawaru Penguindrum and I still have no idea what is going on...I feel like there's a bunch of symbolism but I don't really see the meaning. Like what the heck is project M? Is everything going to come together at the end, and my mind is going to be blown or something? Like things are interesting, just confusing...
