The pinnacle of sekai seifuku was the smoking ep. And then for whatever reason they decided they needed a moderately serious plot, and things went downhill from there. As far as I'm concerned, the entire latter half of the show was wasted potential.
The flashbacks with Goro are a prime example of this. At first it appeared to be a parody of those hard boiled yakuza flicks, but then they kept doing it over and over and over again. So is it supposed to be a joke or not? This also applies to the entire plot. Am I supposed to feel sad or angry when I see them get beat into the ground? Because the jokes sure as hell aren't contributing to a serious atmosphere.

Sekai Seifuku: Zvezda! lol. I liked this last episode. Guess there's going to be a season two, at least I hope they do one.
Teasing new characters doesn't mean shit if your sales suck.

Was Thanatos first scene or was it terrorism?

The longer bigfan doesn't watch monogatari the longer I can live without cancer. what? you don't get cancer from discussions lol. Either way, if the show ends up being as girl focused as it sounds like(with small plots) then I doubt I'm interested in talking about one girl over another like you think. I'll probably just mention who I like, like in Toradora and move on.
One certainly does if (or rather, when) you can reach that kind of conclusion. Even Sent's irrational hatred is a less cancerous opinion.

BigFan, it's called Nisekoi.

Does it really count as advertising if all they did was put a picture on the front page of their website? Or did they actually do something more than that?

Hi guys,
I got some spare time and I am thinking of watching some anime. I haven't watched any since... mid 2011, I think? The last show I watched was Madoka.
Basically I want some recommendations on what were the good shows for the last 2 years or so that I missed. It can be any genre, really.
Also no attack on titan please.
Steins;Gate - Time travel story. Pacing at the end kinda blew, but the story's solid. The sequel movie is tacked on and sucks. Pretty popular show.
Space Bros - Great show about a guy and his brother becoming astronauts. It's 99 episodes though. Drama/slice of life/comedy I guess.
Yamato 2199 - Remake of the ancient Space Battleship Yamato. It's got insane production quality and damn good directing. Space opera.
Jinrui wa Suitai Shimashita - Good comedy/parody. Episodes vary in quality.
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure - Based on the classic manga. If you know what it is, give it a try. I'd be somewhat hesitant to recommend it to someone who doesn't know what they're getting into.
Silver Spoon - Great story, great comedy, great drama. About a city boy going to an agriculture school. Vaguely educational sometimes. Can be somewhat sobering. Two seasons.
Uchouten Kazoku - Excellent drama and a pretty great world overall.
Kyousogiga - Unique style. General craziness. Pretty unique world. Ending kinda blew. Also a Rie character that isn't tsundere for once. Your mileage may vary.
Non Non Biyori - Pretty decent comedy/slice of life.
Usagi Drop - Pretty good slice of life about a guy who takes in an orphaned . Fairly lighthearted/heartwarming. Avoided the questionable manga timeskip too.
Daily Lives of Highschool Boys - A serious contender for best comedy ever.
Carnival Phantasm - Only if you're a Type-Moon fan. Requires knowledge of all Type-Moon series because everything's an in-joke.
If you watched 08th MS Team, this came out. There was a new Natsume season in 2011 if you watched watched/liked the prior ones. Also there's a new Mushishi season coming up soon if you watched the first.

uh neither? Girls are qq'ing so they try to call Yuuji/JB and #1 just trolls Michiru while being #1.
btw it is theoretically possible to get cancer from discussions.

Shin Seki Yori is really good and pretty emotional ride. Steins;gate is also really good possibly even better.
edit: Above list is pretty much only this season. Don't think anything from this season is what you should watch first.
some on the list is continuing ones but these animes are my preferences from the last 2 seasons. I can't give him animes from previous seasons since I dunno what animes were running at the time.

what? So, if I'm understanding this right, if I reach a conclusion about who I think is the best girl, you get cancer? I guess you must've gotten cancer everytime the monogatari best girl discussion comes up :S Either way, please stop equating a life-threatening condition with someone's opinion of some characters in an anime and please stop changing my original post. My post said IS, not Toradora. If the changing of the post was meant to be humorous, you can ignore that second part then.

I didn't change anything, I just quoted from Sent's post because I didn't want to bother quoting something long to take out other parts. So I guess he changed it to make a point and I didn't notice.
Also thanks for encouraging me to use the word cancer every time I respond to you. I'll try to remember it.

ok, that's fine. Sentenal was just trying to joke around by that change. As for the second part, all I have to say: -_-;

oh you think caustic sardonic commentary is joking around, cute
+ Show Spoiler +
Look most of the "best girl" monogatari talk is grounded in bs, everyone except a few people who actually pay attention to the show just either like the chara archetype or the chara just strikes their kawaii sensors the right way and then they move on from there too elaborate why they like it so much as some form of justification. Thats why you get this bs short-hand of "crab" "cat" and "snail" which is frankly a joke.
I dont see why you need to force yourself to watch it and you definitely dont need to force yourself to have an opinion if you dont intend to finish it either. Its ok to not have an opinion.

Well if you are going to suffer through something only to not care enough to even have an opinion, then probably not worth bothering in the first place.
tbh I still don't know why people are pushing bigfan to watch monogatari, the only one who has a reason that makes sense is like, sent.

? I make my opinions known after every anime I've watched so I'm not even sure what we're discussing anymore at this point.

I don't think it's appropriate to joke around when it comes to things like cancer but that's my opinion on it. If he wants to do so, I'm not going to stop him from doing so but thought it's worth a mention. Also, who said I'm being forced to watch monogatari? Because I said I'll eventually get to it? It's been on my to watch list for quite a bit of time now so I can assure you that I'm not being forced to watch it due to the comments on here. I'll be watching it out of interest not TLADT pressure. Once I finish watching it then I'll form my opinion on it like I've done with everything else I've watched.

I wasn't talking about you. Just noting to Rebs that it is fairly pointless to waste time watch something if one can't even care enough to form an opinion about it.
Incidentally I think 'caustic sardonic commentary' was about Sent and not me.

oh ok, nvm then.

I don't care anymore. I'll just write moe guide at some random point during my 7k.
BigFan watches what he wants to watch, whatever, yolo. >___>
KLK turned out to be okay. It was kind of fun, and also not really.
Sekai Seifuku, pls, no, why, mercy (that was basically my opinion about the show post episode 3)
The Engaged to the Unidentified Show was really...eh. Not a big fan (harhar). The older sister was pretty neat, but I honestly think her antics got really predictable and repetitive, especially since most of her lines were basically drooling over some kind of sexualized fantasies of her two younger peers. Wasn't that funny after the 10th time I guess. Mashiro also was kind of eh. Hit or miss at times.
D-Frag was whatever also. Sometimes it was funny, other times I just cringed.
Chuunibyou S2 I went full cringe for 12 episodes. Better than S1 actually. I liked the humor a bit more, but it still wasn't all that great towards the end.
-------
non-season stuff I ended up watching....uhh...I watched Uchouten Kazoku finally. That was a pretty good show. :3

No one explains anything during best girl discussion because the whole thing is a joke. Its almost like a running gag bit that gets thrown out every so often.
