this. I'm not keeping up with the manga but it seemed like the perfect place to stop for this season. Let's hope there's a second season soon otherwise I'm thinking I should start the manga. Would it be advisable to start from the first chapter? Best place to read it? + Show Spoiler +Loved how they made up the play as they went along and how both Kirisaki and Onodera played a good role (even if afterwards for O nodera) so that they tried to satisfy everyone (even Marika was happy rofl). Wonder if that goodbye is meant just as a closing line or if there's further meaning with it.

(Vote): Baka no Test
(Vote): Madoka
Thinking Gurren though Madoka being shorter and having some 'shock factor' got me interested. Baka for the comedic value but I dunno. I'm starting to feel like mech again. On that note, guess Gundam Unicorn would be good to watch lol. Maybe after I watch other gundam to become familiar with the story and such unless its completely different story-wise.
It would be less painful to see your opinion on Madoka imo

Its not long so it wouldn't be bad starting from the beginning. I think the anime ends at like 50 or so you can start around there if you just want to jump to see what happens next. 50 is episode 20 and 51 is right after.

I want to recast my vote for Madoka now.
Even though I know you would enjoy Baka to Test more.

I went to Momocon today (an anime convention here in Atlanta). Massive fucking line for walk-in registration, but finally got in later. My spoils from the dealers room this time:
+ Show Spoiler +
I considered getting a Non-scale F-22 Raptor EMD plamo, but then I reminded myself I wouldn't have enough room, it was like $60, and it wasn't a Walken F-22A, so I ended up passing on it. So instead got a Nero-Saber figure, and decided to start buying hard copies of One Piece. I did better this year at Momocon than I did last year, where the Dealer's room fucked me pretty hard.

because you're too kindhearted of a person to see Sent suffering as you did while watching arpeggio?

Suffer? pls, I've already experienced Bigfan watching one of my top-5 favorite animes, so there is no way hes going to top that by watching anything out of those 3.

I was volunteering at the first 3 when that shit was still running on gatech campus. Is it still a mix bag of pretty much anything they can find?
Is that the sega saber bride? Seems to be a budget alternative for the new alphamax nero (and more family friendly).
Hope the new F/SN will finally produce a decent Rin figure... though a new or a good re-release of saber would be fir for me.

on another note and I'm sure someone must have mentioned it by now, but Madoka and the Monogatari franchise are both done by Shaft and the same director (as anything done by Shaft?) so comes to no suprise that one of the big selling points of Bakemonogatari, the different, weird, artsy design is part of Madoka as well.
Bakemonogatari on the one hand looks absolutely beautiful while being different in that regard. Madoka on the other hand looks... perhaps a bit creepy while also looking really interesting as well in the way it's shown.
So if there's any intention to ever watch Bakemono might as well keep that in mind.

no, actually. I had no clue that they are done by the same company and director. Bakemonogatari's art style was fine from what I've watched so far so I don't think Madoka's will be a problem for me

Madoka's really didn't invoke too much thought of Bake for me. Now that new show airing right now Mekakucity Actors really reminds me of Bake.

yeah, Mekaku city actors is closer to what Bake looks like.
My point was that both Bakemono and Madoka are trying to look different when compared to other stuff but they're both looking different in a different way
Or at least that's what I meant when I said that madoka looks a tad creepy while bakemonogatari looks nice but they're both making the watch really worthwhile even if you'd be watching animated gravel

Shinbo's first work as director is.... + Show Spoiler + Though he immediately went off the deep end with Tsukuyomi. I think his best work is Natsu no Arashi.

Mahouka 08 a crapton better than episodes 6 and 7.
A lot more "lol I'm imba" that isn't related to anything.
A lot more incest hayamin, now flying around in a dress, destroying computers while that annoying engineer chick figures out that her brother is famous.
A lot less plot.
What more could we have possibly asked for?

sounds like you enjoyed it
We've always known he's imba and OP.
She's always done these things (something similar in previous episode) so not surprising. Incest has always been a part of Mahouka. + Show Spoiler +As for engineer chick, she's always been interest in his silver gun. Which part are you referring to for famous?
Well, they are starting off the competition so episode just focused on + Show Spoiler +having him voted in, show his abilities to new people and to show us that he has ties to the military. Given, they could've done that in much less time lol.
Nothing else really

about the chick + Show Spoiler +it was painfully obvious that onii-sama himself is Taurus silver the genius who invented all that stuff like loop casting all along and didn't BUY or GET it from him, but in todays episode it probably got confirmed?
The chick ended up saying she really adores that genius Taurus silver, Miyuki instantly twitching, like every other time when anything that lacks an Y chromosome approaches him in a flirty/adoring way, and causing an error on the PC.
Annoying chick asks something else about Taurus Silver, onii-sama mentioned that that guy might just be a normal japanese kid like she or he himself are. Miyuki obviously twitching like crazy again and causing another error on the PC
I mean, I don't know the source so it's just speculation but shit is as obvious as charles being a girl in IS
about the rest: Yeah and that's exactly why people watch it. I want to have a good / hilarious time watching it and not some plot that is tryharding and at the same time failing so hard that it's just sad in it's own right, for all the wrong reasons. I'm just glad it's back to what it was the first 6 episodes.
