TWGOK is sooooo weird, but so funny.
Anyone else got the Totoro reference?!?!?!?!?! I thought that was the cutest thing ever. ^_^
Also, as a side note, Happy Crescent is still stuck in my head.

The guy's clearly nuts. brb, gonna go kill myself now. been meaning to watch that if only for the name, kind of like why I watch let the right one in. couldn't resist massive first post here sorry. something old from this thread.

Can't help but think of Sherlock Holmes in the 22nd century, not quite an anime though. First post in this thread good a reason as any to throw one of these together, been using a notepad file for that sort of thing. http://myanimelist.net/profile/evantrees probably should have tried to rate some of it though, but horrible at that sort of thing. Some on there from when the toronto public library was my main source of manga/anime. Something I find amusing, aside from dragon ball and sailor moon on tv which I did not like at the time as least, one of my first introductions to "anime" was the robotech novels of all things. Finished eureka seven recently, watching gurren lagann and elfen lied at the moment. Definitely will have to look into super robot wars, may give school days a try after all the comments after I finish elfen lied. macross is along with babylon 5 stuff I haven't got around to watching for ages. something random to recommend, love the vagabond manga. Not particularly looking for any more anime to watch at the moment but any recommendations for a friend who refuses to watch anime in japanse and liked trigun,samurai champloo, hellsing and fma. And is waiting for brotherhood in english? Have had no luck getting him to watch cowboy bebop for some reason. | ||

Pretty similar list to mine in specific genres..Though evidently I have not been watching a whole lot in the past 3 years. Mine: http://myanimelist.net/animelist/potplant And I typically don't remember any one-off movies/ovas etc. From the more recent titles, any recommendations for comedy that's a bit fast paced? | ||

I keep reading some nice short one-shots that just... are good. I dunno. It's weird how that works, eh. Part of it is probably because how they actually end instead of go on for a year unnecessarily. It's not just that. They just feel like they have fresher ideas; they're more original and not conceived with a "what's an open-ended idea I can milk for 100 volumes?" garbage opening. Ninomiya Hikaru's manga was all kinda like this too, even though a lot of them are actually related (via shared characters). | ||

And the OP was the badass thing I ever heard in my life. Alright. Time to move on. Anything else recommended guys? I was thinking about getting Eureka 7. Is it worth watching? Made from same group that made Xam'd, a mech Anime I ended up liking a lot. | ||

Episode 1-4, written after Episode 4 + Show Spoiler + This show is strange. It looks like it tries to be a harem comedy of some sort, but fails miserably in the harem and comedy part. Only the sometimes rather excessive and randomly placed fanservice is always present. The main character is a stupid idiot and definitively not of the "loveable idiot" sort. The girls are at least a little bit interesting so far, but both seem strange and are probably hiding something. On the one hand you have the shy and bullied girl (with big tits for fanservice appeal) and on the other hand you have the "special training" girl that doesn't admit her crush. I guess I'll refer to the characters as Special Training Girl, Big Tits and (Stupid) Idiot from now on. The loli is the Loli, the other dude is Idiot#2. Other important characters are named when they become important. Episode 5, every Episode from now on has been commentated live + Show Spoiler + Stupid fanservice episode, seriously. But the sound effects were at least funny ("Oh yeah" for Big Tits, "Ohoho" / "Uhuhu" for her normal-sized friends and a *thumthish* for the Loli, heh). The Loli seems to be the only normal and intelligent character in the series so far. Apparently it's okay to grab your special training partner between her legs in public. So stupid. But I agree with her assessment, the main character is a stupid idiot. Well, after the next scene it looks like all male characters are idiots in this series. Special Training Girl continues to be in love and making her own life terrible for herself. Stupid Idiot knows but is too stupid to act upon it and instead continues to make life horrible for Big Tits. I see a theme here. Stupid Idiot is now madly in love with Special Training Girl, the love triangle has finally been established! Dramatic kiss in the rain. More special training. Oh, well. I don't think that we'll get a happy end any time soon. Episode 6 + Show Spoiler + More practice while Big Tits is sad and lonely. The Loli is still the only sane and perceptive character in the whole show and because of that I like her more and more. Special Training Girl wants to confess their relationship, Idiot acts idiotic. Awkward scene on the rooftop, Big Tits doesn't see anything. Of course the subtext of the lesson ("humans are evil") has absolutely no meaning for the show, right? A little sister excuse, while having no little sister. Good job, Idiot. Oh, he has one, but it was still a lie. Special Training Girl gets sad again, as does Big Tits. And the secret is revealed, but she is still in denial! How will this end? Stupid Idiot acts horrible towards Big Tits, poor girl. Creepy cat-girl promoter hands a flier to Big Tits... for a couple's discount. She is really happy about it, Idiot hurts her again. Yay, the Loli appears and visits Special Training Girl who seems to be ill (but isn't). Loli goes home, while Big Tits is ignored by the Idiot. ![]() Idiot#2 for failed comic relief, Loli saves the day. Big Tits is bullied again by the same annoying girls. Ohhh, a new challenger appears (will be called Bitch from now on)! But Big Tits counters with a rapid fire attack and strikes her down, for now. Idiot molests Special Training Girl while in class but the perceptive Loli sees and knows everything. Big Tits runs into Special Training Girl and Idiot during special training, at the exact moment where they confess their love to each other. Scary music! Episode 7 + Show Spoiler + Idiot and Special Training Girl relaxing on the rooftop, Big Tits listens to their secret conversation and turns away. Big Tits is still in denial. Little sister cafe, okay I can see that. A zombie cafe? WTF. Loli continues to be awesome and spoils the news, everyone is shocked. Meanwhile, Big Tits is getting bullied again, how unexpected. The bullies plan something with a video camera. Big Tits tries her best to spend time together with her "boyfriend" but the Loli intervenes and pulls him away. Why is she the only interesting and sane character in the whole thing? More fanservice followed by the Loli appearing in the scary cat costume. Big Tits and bullies, business as usual. I wonder why they want sturdy bedsheets in combination with a video camera. In a "rest area" of all things, heh. Idiot meets Big Tits and spaces out while staring at her breasts. -.- Loli is unfriendly to Big Tits and she runs off. Idiot develops some sort of conscience and follows her. Oh, please. Idiot#2 pretends to help Big Tits, just to peek under her skirt while she jumps up and down on a stepladder. Ouch, Idiot#2 tells her that she has broken up with Idiot#1 but she denies it. Trouble! Special Training Girl sits on the Idiot's bed and is jealous, suddenly Big Tits rings the doorbell. Stupidest excuse ever, especially with another pair of shoes in plain sight. Special Training Girl cries as he can't say that he wants to break up with Big Tits and leaves, only to run into her rival. Woah, Big Tits slaps her! Episode 8 + Show Spoiler + Special Training Girl tells the Loli about the love triangle, Loli tries to help... "Not much time left", I wonder what she meant by that? Idiot#2 talking to Idiot#1, also trying to get the truth. Nothing is revealed so far. Flashback to the showdown between Big Tits and Special Training Girl, Big Tits begs her to leave the Idiot alone. Loli interferes with their relationship again. Please don't tell me that she is the same as Special Training Girl in the beginning... :/ Ohh, confrontation between the Loli and the Idiot. Woah, she gets an useful answer and sends him to Special Training Girl's home. Hah, and the Loli informed her beforehand because the Idiot is too shy to ring the bell. Special Training Girl tells the story of the showdown to the Idiot, and he acts idiotic, as usual. Loli appears for relationship counseling for Special Training Girl. More Flashbacks. I wonder why Special Training Girl was ill yesterday, it's never just a cold. Big Tits meets Idiot on the train, cuddles with him and invites him to touch her and do other stuff with her for the next time if he dances with her at the folk dance. Okay... Idiot runs off to Special Training Girl and finally knows that he is the worst. Apparently the Loli is leaving Japan for France soon, I guess that's what she meant with "not much time left" earlier. But I don't share her confidence that everything will be fine because the Idiot is there for Special Training Girl. More fanservice. Big Tits getting bullied again... and the bullies operate a love hotel in the back of their haunted house (with cameras for blackmailing I guess). WTF. (Also little sister cafe vs. zombie cafe again, WTF.) Loli commands a force of high schoolers, maids and scary cat-costumes for a special operation. It... works as well as you might think. Automatic scary cat-costume for the Loli, heh. Probably the funniest scene so far in the whole series. More fanservice. The little sisters and the zombies unite against the scary cat costumes and the sexy maids! Who will win this battle of the high school cafes?! Class 3 lost, the Loli is sad and promises to fix all costumes over the night. Idiot makes a stupid comment, but everyone wants to help her. Loli and Idiot are alone now, and she tells him the truth about her moving away. Because she is concerned about Special Training Girl and doesn't want to leave her alone. Poor Loli. :/ But asking the Idiot to care for Special Training Girl is not the best idea. Even if he looks like a nice guy in the flashback right now. OH PLEASE, WTF. Don't. AHHHHHHRG. WHY? Stupid Loli, I don't like you anymore. ![]() Episode 9 + Show Spoiler + Stupid Loli gets caught by Big Tits in the doorway, another (short) showdown! A peace treaty has been established between the classes, no more battles between little sisters and crazy maids. Cut to a drama club presentation which is totally NOT about the Loli and the Idiot, that's just pure coincidence. *sigh* Special Training Girl and her boyfriend are flirting in the kitchen, with a totally not sugestive scene, while Not-Important-Enough-To-Be-Named#1 watches and is lonely. Big Tits gets bullied again. You could probably make a good drinking game out of it. Their "rest area" is apparently one of the schools traditions... okay. Idiot#2 bothers Big Tits, more customers for the "rest area" and now Idiot#2 hits on Big Tits again, after watching the couple enter the "rest area". He should know that Big Tits isn't the right girl for that, right? Big Tits shoots him down. Idiot#1 molests Special Training Girl and wants to take her to the "rest area" too. Ouch. Bitch tries to hit on Idiot#1 to have fun with him in the traditional way for this school. He is stupid enough to agree, after looking over her body a few times. Both run around and enjoy the school festival. After which she tells him her feelings and asks him out for the dance. HE STARES AT HER BREASTS AND NEARLY AGREES, OH COME ON... But Special Training Girl comes to his "rescue" at the last moment. The friend of Big Tit's little sister is as perceptive as the stupid Loli and unravels the situation in the first seconds! Good job! After that, Big Tits gets bullied some more, because we don't had enough scenes of that lately. Bitch and Idiot#2 are planning their next moves. Bitch tells him to push Big Tits some more, else she would hate him. WTF, 20 new messages from Big Tits, but instead of running to her, Idiot#1 gets intercepted by Bitch and brought to the "rest area". The bullies tell the truth to Big Tits and run away while Bitch and Idiot have lots of fun as expected of their school traditions. (Seriously, wtf.) Big Tits meets with Idiot#2 and hears the truth, in many ways. Idiot#1 and Special Training Girl dance at the folk dance, as expected while the stupid Loli watches from the sidelines. Episode 10 + Show Spoiler + Wait... what? Why is Big Tits nearly naked? And why is Idiot#2 so happy? (Stupid Loli is happy too.) Big Tits shoots down Idiot#2 again, with a "forget about what happened yesterday", hum. Idiot#2 runs to Idiot#1 to complain. Of course Idiot#1 lies as he is asked if he cheats on whoever his current girlfriend might be. Big tits gets bullied again. Loli and Idiot#1 talk for a bit until Big Tits appears oblivious to everything, as usual. Idiot finally breaks up with Big Tits, but she denies everything, even as the Loli helps. But Big Tits reveals the truth about the Loli and the Idiot, just as the Loli kisses him. WTF. This is just screwed up. Big Tits finally gets it and breaks down. ...and Idiot and Bitch had their fun in the gym locker room. Except for the Loli and the Not-Important-Enough-To-Be-Named girls #1 and #2 he followed the schools traditions with everyone so far. I think that he will get the Loli too, probably right now, because she leaves tomorrow. This show is sooo stupid, but you can't stop watching (just like season 2 of Code Geass). Bitch says it best: "You really like to fuck around a lot". But the Loli knows everything. Uh, sad looking Big Tits in the kitchen, scene ends with a close-on the knife rack. Not ominous in the least. As predicted: A wild Loli appears in the middle of the night. Loli is serious, Idiot flirts with Loli, blah blah. Idiot assaults Loli, they have fun together as exchange for him being faithful to Special Training Girl from now on. Yeah, right. As if that will work, stupid Loli. The party begins. Of course it's not a party but a showing of all the collected blackmail videos from the "rest room". Who would have thought of that?! Not-Important-Enough-To-Be-Named girl #2 breaks down... right as Idiot and Bitch appear on the screen. Special Training Girl is NOT HAPPY. She runs away and tries to contact the Idiot, just to meet a really scary looking Big Tits on a bridge, who tells her about the Idiot and the Loli. Ending prediction: Big Insane Tits kills everyone (except for the Loli, who escapes to France). Would be a fitting happy end to this stupid series. Episode 11 + Show Spoiler + Idiot broke up with Special Training Girl who lies in her bed now. WHY IS NIETBN#1 NAKED IN THE IDIOT's BEDROOM?! I could understand the other stuff, even if some of it was really far-fetched. But that? Seriously... Big Insane Tits is on the bridge again looking scary. Flashback to the confrontation between Special Training Girl and Idiot about the school's traditions. NIETBN#1 visits Special Training Girl, who has locked herself in her room and tries to fetch her. Telling a sad and jealous girl that she should go to school because else her boyfriend might be cheating on her, especially if you are cheating with him, and she has locked herself in because he cheated on her... BEST PLAN EVER! I can't think of a way how that could fail. Everyone is looking for the Idiot, Bitch gets bullied by her bullies... because they are jealous of the other girls and how they had fun with the Idiot. NIETBN#1 and the Idiot get it on again, this time at school. Big Insane Tits is talking to Idiot on the phone, but it's not even connected. That's not so good. I don't believe it. The jealous bullies are all going to the Idiot's house for an orgy. WTF. Noooo, that's not far-fetched at all. Happens every day! Another scene of Big Insane Tits and lonely Special Training Girl (who seems to be ill or probably pregnant). Okay, she's pregnant. And she heads out to tell the Idiot about it, in front of the whole harem and class. Prediction: As stupid as he is, he will suggest that she aborts the child, probably where everyone can hear him too. His orgy discusses about the child and that they did it properly and then they decide not to have any more orgies with him for a while... Alright. Must be another tradition or something. NIETBN#1 lectures the Idiot about everything and leaves because she thinks she'll get pregnant too because she sees him, or something. I don't think I want to understand their motives at this point anymore. Bitch calls the Idiot and he happily responds but because he is a stupid Idiot he messes everything up again. Random scene in which the bullies seek another target for their next orgy. Why?! Another random scene lingering on a knife, I get it. Big Insane Tits still calls non-existing phones and talks with her imaginary Idiot. Idiot is blocked from calling any of his harem and COMPLAINS about it. He meets Big Insane Tits and she is scary. Another close-up of a knife, this time in Special Training Girl's hand. Idiot sees how insane Big Tits has become because of him and doesn't know what to do anymore. A hug, slightly less insane eyes. Title card. I guess in hindsight "Everyone's Makoto" makes sense as a title for this episode. Episode 12 + Show Spoiler + Big Not-As-Insane Tits walks around with Idiot and warms his hands by rubbing them against her breasts. I guess that opening scene describes the series very well. Switch to Special Training Girl who just knows that something is wrong. No intro this time, just a broken logo. Special Training Girl gets angry and calls him, but he is still an idiot. Yeah, blaming your special training girl because she got pregnant is really a good skill to have. Could someone kill this guy already, please? Special Training Girl went home and sees Big Not-As-Insane Tits clinging to her Idiot in the train. Idiot comes home, sees the devastated kitchen with all the prepared food and thinks a little bit about Special Training Girl, who is currently on the way to his home. (Idiot burns himself on the teapot, haha.) Special Training Girl rings the doorbell, Big Not-As-Insane Tits opened the door, well done. Slap! Epic showdown! Ouch, Big Not-As-Insane Tits tells the truth about Loli and the other girls to Special Training Girl. That's probably not the best idea right now. (Scary music, by the way.) Idiot and Big Not-As-Insane Tits kiss right in front of Special Training Girl... Woah, that was a loud "NOOOOOO!". Flashback to Loli and Special Training Girl much earlier followed by a scary cut to the totally not relevant drama club presentation. Another loud scream, Special Training Girl breaks down. Heh, at least one part of my episode 11 prediction came true. ...and there is the in no way suspicious message that he should come home, alone. Way to go, Special Insane Girl. But first Idiot and Big No-Longer-Insane Tits talking on the rooftop, trying to look like a rather healty relationship. Idiot and Special Insane Girl are now alone at home. She makes some tea, sees that he has thrown away everything... A knife appears, while she text him to call him to another room. "Sorry." I don't think that she should apologize. Oh, nice a "Farewell" at the end of the message. Bye, Idiot. (Thanks!) Oh, Big Probably-Soon-Insane-Again Tits comes to visit her dead Idiot. Special Insane Girl gets a message from the dead. Final showdown on the rooftop! WTF, Big Now-Totally-Insane Tits brought his head in a bag?! Oh, and now she slaughters the other girl, just to confirm if she's pregnant or not. Really cute, I guess (your definition might vary). That's a nice boat in the sunset. Oh, it's Big Tits' boat. And she is cuddling with the head of her dead boyfriend. Such a nice picture. Final summary of the series + Show Spoiler + WTF. + Show Spoiler + That's probably the series with the most fucked up plot I've seen so far. The execution was not bad, but the characters, the plot and especially the main character were probably the worst I've ever encountered (only a few exceptionally badly written characters could top him, like the leader of the Disciples of the Stars from Black Cat). It could have been a convincing story, if they skipped most of the other girls (and the orgy for example). The actual ending was rather ok and I'd say it was probably the part that was the most realistic in the whole series. It would have been a rather good full length movie instead of a 12 episode series, if they had cut out all of this other crap and focused more on the main relationship between the characters. I guess we can be happy that it's only 12 episodes and not more. Good scenes: Everything with the Loli before she went stupid, the battle of the cafes, the sound effects during the presentation of the girls in the fanservice episode. The ending. Bad scenes: Everything else, the orgy. | ||

But Special Training Girl comes to his "rescue" at the last moment. The friend of Big Tit's little sister is as perceptive as the stupid Loli and unravels the situation in the first seconds! Good job! After that, Big Tits gets bullied some more, because we don't had enough scenes of that lately. Bitch and Idiot#2 are planning their next moves. Bitch tells him to push Big Tits some more, else she would hate him. WTF, 20 new messages from Big Tits, but instead of running to her, Idiot#1 gets intercepted by Bitch and brought to the "rest area". The bullies tell the truth to Big Tits and run away while Bitch and Idiot have lots of fun as expected of their school traditions. (Seriously, wtf.) Big Tits meets with Idiot#2 and hears the truth, in many ways. Idiot#1 and Special Training Girl dance at the folk dance, as expected while the stupid Loli watches from the sidelines. Episode 10 + Show Spoiler + Wait... what? Why is Big Tits nearly naked? And why is Idiot#2 so happy? (Stupid Loli is happy too.) Big Tits shoots down Idiot#2 again, with a "forget about what happened yesterday", hum. Idiot#2 runs to Idiot#1 to complain. Of course Idiot#1 lies as he is asked if he cheats on whoever his current girlfriend might be. Big tits gets bullied again. Loli and Idiot#1 talk for a bit until Big Tits appears oblivious to everything, as usual. Idiot finally breaks up with Big Tits, but she denies everything, even as the Loli helps. But Big Tits reveals the truth about the Loli and the Idiot, just as the Loli kisses him. WTF. This is just screwed up. Big Tits finally gets it and breaks down. ...and Idiot and Bitch had their fun in the gym locker room. Except for the Loli and the Not-Important-Enough-To-Be-Named girls #1 and #2 he followed the schools traditions with everyone so far. I think that he will get the Loli too, probably right now, because she leaves tomorrow. This show is sooo stupid, but you can't stop watching (just like season 2 of Code Geass). Bitch says it best: "You really like to fuck around a lot". But the Loli knows everything. Uh, sad looking Big Tits in the kitchen, scene ends with a close-on the knife rack. Not ominous in the least. As predicted: A wild Loli appears in the middle of the night. Loli is serious, Idiot flirts with Loli, blah blah. Idiot assaults Loli, they have fun together as exchange for him being faithful to Special Training Girl from now on. Yeah, right. As if that will work, stupid Loli. The party begins. Of course it's not a party but a showing of all the collected blackmail videos from the "rest room". Who would have thought of that?! Not-Important-Enough-To-Be-Named girl #2 breaks down... right as Idiot and Bitch appear on the screen. Special Training Girl is NOT HAPPY. She runs away and tries to contact the Idiot, just to meet a really scary looking Big Tits on a bridge, who tells her about the Idiot and the Loli. Ending prediction: Big Insane Tits kills everyone (except for the Loli, who escapes to France). Would be a fitting happy end to this stupid series. Episode 11 + Show Spoiler + Idiot broke up with Special Training Girl who lies in her bed now. WHY IS NIETBN#1 NAKED IN THE IDIOT's BEDROOM?! I could understand the other stuff, even if some of it was really far-fetched. But that? Seriously... Big Insane Tits is on the bridge again looking scary. Flashback to the confrontation between Special Training Girl and Idiot about the school's traditions. NIETBN#1 visits Special Training Girl, who has locked herself in her room and tries to fetch her. Telling a sad and jealous girl that she should go to school because else her boyfriend might be cheating on her, especially if you are cheating with him, and she has locked herself in because he cheated on her... BEST PLAN EVER! I can't think of a way how that could fail. Everyone is looking for the Idiot, Bitch gets bullied by her bullies... because they are jealous of the other girls and how they had fun with the Idiot. NIETBN#1 and the Idiot get it on again, this time at school. Big Insane Tits is talking to Idiot on the phone, but it's not even connected. That's not so good. I don't believe it. The jealous bullies are all going to the Idiot's house for an orgy. WTF. Noooo, that's not far-fetched at all. Happens every day! Another scene of Big Insane Tits and lonely Special Training Girl (who seems to be ill or probably pregnant). Okay, she's pregnant. And she heads out to tell the Idiot about it, in front of the whole harem and class. Prediction: As stupid as he is, he will suggest that she aborts the child, probably where everyone can hear him too. His orgy discusses about the child and that they did it properly and then they decide not to have any more orgies with him for a while... Alright. Must be another tradition or something. NIETBN#1 lectures the Idiot about everything and leaves because she thinks she'll get pregnant too because she sees him, or something. I don't think I want to understand their motives at this point anymore. Bitch calls the Idiot and he happily responds but because he is a stupid Idiot he messes everything up again. Random scene in which the bullies seek another target for their next orgy. Why?! Another random scene lingering on a knife, I get it. Big Insane Tits still calls non-existing phones and talks with her imaginary Idiot. Idiot is blocked from calling any of his harem and COMPLAINS about it. He meets Big Insane Tits and she is scary. Another close-up of a knife, this time in Special Training Girl's hand. Idiot sees how insane Big Tits has become because of him and doesn't know what to do anymore. A hug, slightly less insane eyes. Title card. I guess in hindsight "Everyone's Makoto" makes sense as a title for this episode. Episode 12 + Show Spoiler + Big Not-As-Insane Tits walks around with Idiot and warms his hands by rubbing them against her breasts. I guess that opening scene describes the series very well. Switch to Special Training Girl who just knows that something is wrong. No intro this time, just a broken logo. Special Training Girl gets angry and calls him, but he is still an idiot. Yeah, blaming your special training girl because she got pregnant is really a good skill to have. Could someone kill this guy already, please? Special Training Girl went home and sees Big Not-As-Insane Tits clinging to her Idiot in the train. Idiot comes home, sees the devastated kitchen with all the prepared food and thinks a little bit about Special Training Girl, who is currently on the way to his home. (Idiot burns himself on the teapot, haha.) Special Training Girl rings the doorbell, Big Not-As-Insane Tits opened the door, well done. Slap! Epic showdown! Ouch, Big Not-As-Insane Tits tells the truth about Loli and the other girls to Special Training Girl. That's probably not the best idea right now. (Scary music, by the way.) Idiot and Big Not-As-Insane Tits kiss right in front of Special Training Girl... Woah, that was a loud "NOOOOOO!". Flashback to Loli and Special Training Girl much earlier followed by a scary cut to the totally not relevant drama club presentation. Another loud scream, Special Training Girl breaks down. Heh, at least one part of my episode 11 prediction came true. ...and there is the in no way suspicious message that he should come home, alone. Way to go, Special Insane Girl. But first Idiot and Big No-Longer-Insane Tits talking on the rooftop, trying to look like a rather healty relationship. Idiot and Special Insane Girl are now alone at home. She makes some tea, sees that he has thrown away everything... A knife appears, while she text him to call him to another room. "Sorry." I don't think that she should apologize. Oh, nice a "Farewell" at the end of the message. Bye, Idiot. (Thanks!) Oh, Big Probably-Soon-Insane-Again Tits comes to visit her dead Idiot. Special Insane Girl gets a message from the dead. Final showdown on the rooftop! WTF, Big Now-Totally-Insane Tits brought his head in a bag?! Oh, and now she slaughters the other girl, just to confirm if she's pregnant or not. Really cute, I guess (your definition might vary). That's a nice boat in the sunset. Oh, it's Big Tits' boat. And she is cuddling with the head of her dead boyfriend. Such a nice picture. Final summary of the series + Show Spoiler + WTF. + Show Spoiler + That's probably the series with the most fucked up plot I've seen so far. The execution was not bad, but the characters, the plot and especially the main character were probably the worst I've ever encountered (only a few exceptionally badly written characters could top him, like the leader of the Disciples of the Stars from Black Cat). It could have been a convincing story, if they skipped most of the other girls (and the orgy for example). The actual ending was rather ok and I'd say it was probably the part that was the most realistic in the whole series. It would have been a rather good full length movie instead of a 12 episode series, if they had cut out all of this other crap and focused more on the main relationship between the characters. I guess we can be happy that it's only 12 episodes and not more. Good scenes: Everything with the Loli before she went stupid, the battle of the cafes, the sound effects during the presentation of the girls in the fanservice episode. The ending. Bad scenes: Everything else, the orgy. The secret to watching School Days is to know what happens before you watch, and to go into it thinking that the show is a comedy. | ||

Of all the filler chapters TWGOK could've animated, they chose the weirdest one. The manga version was faaar superior though. + Show Spoiler [See for yourself] + And they skipped the kiss. Why all the changes? Edit: And blushing Keima is awesome. | ||

Her Totoro reference made me want to explode with happiness. xD And by the way, does anyone want to get back to me on Eureka Seven? I'm still curious if it's good or not, and I don't want to start watching and wasting my time... ![]() | ||

I don't see why you have to rely on TL members so hard here. To be honest, I respect the opinions of TLers over the opinions of people outside this community. Often times, when I looked at reviews and opinions on other sites, I tended to disagree with them after a while. Most of the time that TLers gave their suggestions here I've found that I've thoroughly enjoyed the Animes. I guess the opinions are just working for me here. So if it ain't broke, I ain't gonna go out of my way to go to other places. ![]() | ||

It is pretty underrated and has a great story. ye I really started to liek Shiki too. When it started airing I wasnt really sure but now it's becoming better with every episode. And the plot seems to start to go for the big bang end. Looks like Kuragehimes plot seems to thicken now too. I am ver y curious how it will continue. | ||

Soredemo is also somewhat charming, and here's why: EDIT: The idiot at the end is saying 'Thank you very maid for coming', hence the facepalming. I'm sure there's a subbed version on youtube somewhere. So again, anybody else watching any of these/others from the current season, like Star Driver or w/e? | ||

@Jugglenaught: Super Robot Wars is easily the best show this season by far. | ||
