Bokura wa Minna Kawaisou 12 was great, had some really nice scenes. I liked that the humor remained stable in that it was solid all the way through. Ritsu's VA was great in this role but Mayumi I liked best lol.

i thought hyouka was just character development on the part of houtarou

That's a lot more positive than I am willing to be about it, then again the only thing I gave the source merit for was for somewhat cute narrative style in later vols. The anime...eh, kyoani does what they want to make things sell. To make that happen, they played up the two's interactions a bit more while giving empress (forgot her name) a greater role than she should have at that point. But in then end it was hard to give a fuck about a show with nothing happening.

Well, a lot of things are like that. If one can be convinced by the material up to that point to care about the characters, they'd find a half decent show there. Unfortunately Hyouka never did that for me.

Funny how you say that when author gutted him heavily in later vols and made him into an armchair detective that does nothing but solve cases lol. All hail kyoani.

Though at some point author gave up on the whole sol mystery gig and just started writing everything as pure mystery. He also won most of his awards starting from that point. Go figure.

Yeah, to the best of my knowledge there are no translations. Kyoani played up character interaction a fair bit more than source and stopped right before when author changed his style. So probably intentional on their part to keep the feel of the early vols.

Also, I find NGNL's OP MCs more ridiculous than Tatsuya. Only thing is Tatsuya has the personality of a pubic hair and isn't interesting at all.

but the brocon is the best part...

When will Summer season start? On AniChart, for Summer, no show has a countdown yet, so I'm assuming that it hasn't started yet. Am I correct?

The earliest I see is July 3rd, so I'm pretty sure it has not started yet. There are still some shows still finishing next week so probably after that.


Ugh as I finish more shows I find more that pique my interest.

Personally feel it's more amount Chitanda/Houtarou than about the mysteries. The mysteries seemed merely a medium for the two to interact. It starts out with him wanting to avoid her and gradually you see him change his outlook on life while spending more and more time alone with her. This happens until the end where the other members are basically irrelevant while the two of them have their fun. Romance was definitely there but it was just the stages before going from just friends to in a relationship.

Exactly idk what you guys are talking about no romance. Romance doesn't need to be stated by words or statements because there was romance and it was freaking obvious in the show.

It was in the state of development from friends to relationship thing. And it was done pretty well and if it was stated in the show it would look terrible.

If what Ecael said is right about it was never shipped since what all the author wanted to write about was mystery then it's just a freaking tease but sure the romance was there. The palpable tension was there.

Developments between Shogo and Saki plz. I don't know why, but for some reason I tend to have more interest in the relationship between side characters than the main ones.

It was obvious that Chitanda was codependent to Oreki and you can say the same in some sense that Oreki is codependent to chitanda.

The relationship was similar to haruhi and kyon except that both haruhi and kyon are tsunderes.

YES toad. It's like my second most favorite show.

Not saying that the quality of the show is great in general standards but for some reason i really enjoyed the show. It's more like a personal thing why i like it.
