Yamada-kun and the seven witches.

I really hope this one is good, but I have no idea where the plot is going.

Turn-A Gundam - 01
I've always found getting into Gundam a bit of an intimidating experience because of the wealth of different series and the amount of variance there seems to be in quality. The only Gundams I can recall having seen in my life were the old Gundam Wing and G Gundam back when they were airing on Toonami. A friend of mine recommended I check out Turn-A so here I am. A low key episode but I like that they didn't feel the need to throw in some cataclysmic event from the outset in order to hook you into the series. Really liked the way they were able to establish little elements of the world without feeling the need to do a super heavy handed exposition sequence either. It's refreshing.

Mirai Nikki - 01
This was really dumb!

Mirai Nikki - 02
This has crossed the threshold of dumb into actively insulting my intelligence. I genuinely can't take this show seriously in its current state. It's honestly more comparable to some juvenile saturday morning TV show than anything I've seen in recent memory. I don't even know what to bring up first, the ridiculously flamboyant and cartoonishly evil antagonists, the main female lead whose only purpose is to fawn over our protagonist and murder dozens of her classmates, the stupidity of everyone involved with respect to how to handle a hostage crisis (let's walk into enemy territory without a plan and be forced to point a gun at MC within the first 5 seconds of realizing how stupid I am), or how our villain of the week is foiled in part due to kids randomly chucking books and other school items out of their windows. There's not a single redeemable thing about this show that I can cite at this point in time.

Ahem. Third favourite. Also, nice using a clip from my favourite anime to attempt to say my favourite anime is ****.

lol Foundation.

I saw this coming if you hadn't seen the show - you're having the exact same problems I did when the show first aired. And you're getting the responses I did because of the source material, "It'll get better! Pinky won't grind your nerves, the main guy won't be a waste of flesh given life, and the strange mix of dark reality vs school day reality will blend well eventually!!!!!!!!!"


It never does, it doesn't even try thank god. If it had I would of been pissed, because the 'realities' of some of the cast would never been understood by ANY degree by ******* HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS. REGARDLESS OF PAST DRAMA.

As the MC is the most typical anime hero - he just oozes plz kill me now.

But, they're right, it does get better. But only if you look past the setting. If you can't look past that the setting is half-assed done, then the show will go on a down-word spiral of stupidity, as it sets itself up to get grander and grander as the twists and turns become more and more unexpected.

Eventually though, you catch the pattern of how this show is 'unexpected' - so be wary of over-thinking this show, you'll ruin it for yourself.

This isn't Madoka Magica whose discussions can go on for hours on what things mean - Future Dairies just sorta tales a tell in a great way.

Aku no Hana - Episode 2:
Why would the main character do something so stupid? What the hell was he thinking?

It was a gym uniform. Why is everyone overreacting?

Did the one chick not notice that the main guy got pushed into her and that he didn't plant his face between her breasts on purpose? Why has everyone in this become so stupid?

I will keep my end of the bargain Foundation, but I'm feeling like I have received the short end of the stick on this deal.

Get a better taste in anime.
Sincerely,
Glantix / Ice

you're trying to apply rationality and reason to a setting and plot devoid of it foundation, the MC is a teenager who just had the fact his imaginary friend is real, a pyschotic stalking murdering girlfriend, and a death game sprung on him in under a day, he (and nearly all of the characters) are all kinds of ****** up, as is the setting tbh. that said, he's still a ******* moron.

Blah, I know I should be listening to you guys on this front. I just wish that there was something else I could be latching on to here to pull enjoyment from. Even Aldnoah Zero's tendency of throwing out concentrated dumb at the viewer had the Inaho element in at least taking down his enemies in fun ways. I just wish our MC was more Light Yagami, Lelouch, or Harry Potter and less a completely powerless dork whose main weapon (aside from his psychopathic girlfriend) is his ability to throw darts.

also, i finally got around to watching psycho pass, im up to episode 11 so far, im enjoying it a lot, even if i do find he idea of the sybil system repulsive and highly flawed.

From everything that i've read up about the show, the fact that the sybil system is inherently flawed is kind of the message that they're trying to send? I dunno, I stopped watching Psycho Pass around the time they introduced the cyber clown dude. I hear pretty universally bad things about season 2 though.

I just discovered D-Frag. Funny show, both the sub and dub do a good job.

well episode 3 of kekkai sensen did not turn out how i expected at all, still awesome though. and that opening... i could listen to that for ages.

was not expecting those feels from UBW.

Oh there's a lot more feels yet to come.

UBW has some tragic stuff happen in it.

i've only done the VN route for stay/night, i never got further than the first half of UBW (around where season 1 ended), i'm in unknown waters here and i'm frankly scared at this point of what heavens feel will do to me.

also i finally finished psycho pass season 1, i found it quite good, not the best and there's some things i wish wen differently but i still think it had one or two interesting ideas.

lol, Foundation posts are terribly fun to read <3

On a different note - I started High School DxD over in Dub this time and I'm quite shocked how much better the Dub actually is. Hearing them say "I'm ******" or the many hilarious lines you never see in anime has quite the impact.

lol, Foundation posts are terribly fun to read <3
