Every time they were going to say something clever or outsmart those other dudes /adjusts glasses. You mean you don't do that? + Show Spoiler + Maybe a bit hard to do if you don't have any glasses though.  Started watching Dog Days, it's pretty fun so far with lots of good VA:s. Also dat Nana OP. | ||

Nope, sadly I don't have glasses but I'll probably need to get some since the excessive computer use has made me squint more and more over the years lol  ...I still don't think it's necessary to adjust them so often, in the show it was like something clever /adjusts glasses, 5 secs later another clever comment /adjusts glasses again. Looks silly. | ||

On November 24 2013 01:34 Slaughter wrote: The "for what it is" comment that I made seemed to spark some discussion IS "for what it is" is simply this. IS isn't a typical anime that draws you in with a plot that makes you continue watching because you just have to know what happens next. You won't feel emotionally moved from this plot in either direction (except maybe frustration because of the male lead). "What it is" is a spectacle that delivers cute girls being cue in a sci fi setting that occasionally has mecha-like battles that are also somewhat enjoyable. It also delivers cheap harem drama. In short its just a shallow anime that once you peel off the outer layer there is absolutely nothing underneath. But its enjoyable and fun to watch nonetheless. Edit: Don't Lose Your Way from Kill la Kill is too good. Its okay to like shallow anime. I like plenty of shallow anime. But I don't see why its necessary to say its good "for what it is", though. Like, what sort of anime isn't good "for what it is"? To me, "for what it is" sounds like code speak for "this is bad but I like it anyway". Maybe that's not what you actually mean it to be, but that's how I interrupt the line. | ||

It isn't the goal of IS to be the best or to have a deep and well written story. Its meant to be shallow and your right its perfectly fine. | ||

 . I think more than once I had to say something like "Well people say it's bad but I like it for these reasons", works well. + Show Spoiler [Space Brothers] + Kind of sad to be honest with this episode, I mean next to Mutta's relationship with Hibito, Kenji is his best friend and his closest relationship outside of his brother so it kind of sucks they seem to be stuck being "angry" at each other and seeing the other as enemy. Sure they "should" do it considering the situation but it's awkward for me to see such a nice friendship to change so suddenly. This whole situation should come down to who has the best plan for the building and is the most imposing, the other 2 astronauts make the call of who's plan gets built but it depends heavily on who is the most convincing with his plan. Sigh I feel equally bad for both but I would side with Mutta in this situation, hope they both make it though somehow. This episode of White album 2 was a bit underwhelming lol, really not what I was expecting. + Show Spoiler + They seem to have gone for the calm before the storm episode, wasn't just me who was seeing Setsuna as a third wheel this entire episode apparently <.<. Now Touma is the passive aggressive one lol, with the way she acts with Haruki now and the things she sort of says. As I knew Haruki is a gigantic pussy and got rolled over by Setsuna so now he's going along with her, seems to me he doesn't really want to be with her but he's an idiot so he can't bring himself to reject Setsuna. Either because he's not terribly sure of his feelings for Touma or he's that big of a pussy, whatever the case it was kind of painful to see Setsuna in the middle of the two the entire episode. I'm expecting the next episode or the one after that when we go full hurricane emergency episode. It is so painfully obvious that Touma likes Haruki but she's playing tough now because OBVIOUSLY she's thinking she never stood a chance to Setsuna and since she has sort of gotten to like her friends she doesn't want to do something to destroy that friendship. I think it's mostly she's A) Afraid and B) Not terribly sure about her feelings either. Everything about this episode told me "Haruki likes Touma" then she mentions by next year she might get a bf and Haruki had this look of NOWAI on his face followed by Setsuna pretending Haruki didn't totally freak out and that he really doesn't like her <.<. I feel honestly bad for Setsuna. I get the feeling Haruki is going out with her just to be nice... so obviously this should go well later on >.>. Even Chiaki was like wtf why is he dating Setsuna? Seems to me it's obvious he likes Touma and his friends were like STFU you don't want to open that can of worms, but even Io was kind of agreeing with him but she's not as honest as Chiaki. Also HOLY SHIT am I jealous... fuck MENAGE A TROIS TAIM! IN THE HOT SPRING. Luckiest mother fucker alive wow, he totally saw Touma fully exposed there lol I would have enjoyed that soooooooooooo much . Haruki fucking sucks ugh, dude just fucking do what you want to do instead of what other people expect you to do. I expect his balls to finally drop by the next episode if not NOTHING is going to happen since Touma is just as big of a coward, he'll have babies with Setsuna before he's completely honest with his feelings about Touma if things stay this way. | ||

Music is okay though. Animation? Please, we are almost talking Inferno Cop levels here. I still like it though, but let's wait until Trigger actually has some money before expecting LWA quality stuff from them. edit: Sawano is doing a decent job, it's not great but DON'T LOSE YOUR WAY is good. Kyousougiga OST 2good. | ||
