Imo Death Note comes by far the closest when it comes to genius strategy stuff. The setting is quite different tho. Personally I like DN more then CG.

Well, I suppose just like usual it's a general frustration to the state of modern anime. But those pictures and the gif made my stomach turn so much I had to express my feelings... It's starting to look a lot like the anime section of 4chan in here.

This thread had hit 4chan status like a year ago though, not sure what makes you complain now 
and be happy you aren't like us light novel/VN readers who never see the good stuff animated (Though I am not quite going to complain about OreImo since it was an enjoyable read, if only because of its simplicity and lack of pretension to be any more than what it is).
Besides, if we are going to have gifs, I'd rather see OreImo than the Guro content from Shiki~

You don't think that all these Kirino gifs are adorable as hell?

Well I just finished high school of the dead and I'm not sure what to think. I love zombie apocalypse and all that entails, and I thought the action was pretty awesome.. but I gotta say the whole thing was just a little too much for me lol.. it's like EVERY POSSIBLE CHANCE the creators got they were doing some up-skirt shot or some unnecessary boob action. It just got a little too ridiculous at times.
Lookin' for another solid action/adventure based anime now , any more suggestions ^.^?

You watched an ecchi and are surprised by the constant fanservice?
|
I don't mind all the OreImo talk, I'm just disappointed there is no talk about the anime I'm following this season. Not much I can do about that, though, so oh well.
|
When that happens you just hijack the thread so the topic of the moment is about what you are following, similar to how I'd just do it with LN and VNs 
Or oh hi who read Nekomonogatari (shiro)? Apparently the Koreans translated the whole thing within like a week of it releasing. Insane.
and I am still putting off reading it because I can't muster up the energy to care about Hanekawa, even after kuro.

This thread is now about whatever Sentenal is following this season.

actually it's quite easy, contribute to this thread with your superior taste ( read sarcasm here) and I am sure you will get your discussion. As long as your are not able to bring your supirior taste in a comprehansable form, I'd liek to continue with talk about anime that I like and am able to articulate why I like them.
thanks
the grammar mistakes are intentional

I'd like to go find that page where Southlight, Lucumo and I just threw walls of text at each other for like the whole page over some issues with translation and word usage. There was like another few posters involved in that too, but that was pretty amusing.
But yeah, stuff like that is rare and serious discussions even rarer. With the fotm being OreImo and similar shows being the respective fotm in the last couple of seasons, it isn't exactly surprising that Shauni and Lucumo would voice such a sentiment. Whatever they contribute, should they even try, really won't be discussed at all and will simply be buried under another wave of posts spurred by another OreImo or Index release as we talk about Kirino and Misaka. I just consider myself fortunate that I can still seem to enjoy discussions of that kind. /shrug

yeah yeah what ever you are clearly 10 tiems more awesome then the rest
|
I think this thread is cute and it's perfect that way.
We have the School Days talk coming back every 2 weeks or so. Someone mention Clannad/Kanon every 2 weeks or so and we all go crazy. Every 3 days, someone ask for recommendation and it's always the same damn thing. Every week, we go insane over the anime of the moment (this season OreImo, a few seasons ago Angel Beats, and before that Kampfer). Sometimes Mystlord and Shauni rant about how bad everything is and it's always fun. Etc etc.
I love you all guys!
|
Ecael, did I already tell you that you are awesome? This is pretty much the best possible answer from a neutral view. Now I really have to somehow learn Japanese...to join the discussions between Southlight and you

Insert random gifs and memes. Is it bad? Dunno, I like OreImo and I like Kirino. Is it worth them complaining about it? Probably, I can see their point, but as long as they aren't shitting on what you like, meh. Is it something for you to get so defensive about? Beats me.
This is a large thread that moves relatively fast, and as such fotm will be the thing dominating the discussion in general. It really can't be helped.

I think the complaints that all this thread talks about is the current shows this season aren't really true. After all, right now we're talking about how this thread talks about the current shows this season. Soon we'll be talking about how this thread is talking about how this thread is talking about the current shows this season.
See, there's a lot of variety.
On a more contribute-y note, I finally started LoGH, yay :D
Edit -- and given that oreimo seems to be the most watched show this season, I don't think it's that surprising/bad that the day after an episode comes out people are babbling about it. I mean, that's what people do after an ep comes out. In oreimo's case, it just happens that there are a lot of people watching.

gah Denyuuden is too slow... and reading the light novel is such a hassle, I sound like Ryner now
|
I have to agree with triangle and add that there really isn't that much OreImo talk 4-5 days before the new episode. We talk about different stuff. I'm usually almost only posting about Shiki, but really anything is possible.
You just saw the explosion of OreImo talk these last 2 days... it's already calmed down imo.

just curious who here reads the light novel version of Ore Imo
