Have any of your ever watched Library War? I'm episode 4 in and it's one of the best animes I've watched in recent history.
[QUOTE=dgg;39174565]
I dislike how SHAFT is slowly going down the fanservice route though, they are still for the most part tasteful about it, but they are really starting to use low angles, close-ups with breasts or skirts in focus and nudeness in general much more than they used to. They aren't relying on showing panties, bras and boobs yet, (though they of course have no problem with nudity in scenes where it makes sense, but they don't detail it beyond body shape) but it sure looks like they might start doing that in an unforseeable future, hopefully not.[/QUOTE]
I think they're just adapting the LN faithfully, like with *monogatari series. not really their choice to put in all that fanservice, it was already in the light novels.
Haven't seen the episode yet though

Yes but for some reason I hated it. I just couldn't take the set up seriously.
Just watched the first ep of Sasami-san
the heck did I just watch.

It's pretty hard to find a military anime that doesn't have a silly premiss. The closest thing you can get is GITS which is uber-futuristic/cyber-punk or FLAG which had robots in it.. again.
I just enjoy it a lot. It's funny as hell, doesn't have an incredibly overbearing love story, no fan service, good action bits and I like the story myself.
[QUOTE=HeroicPillow;39175622] The characters are also complete stereotypes exaggerated as much as possible at this point.

after one episode, really?

nothing wrong with this translation. but you're probably not implying that anyway

I'm a total weapons nerd and unfortunately the shows that have tickled that fancy the most so far have been strike witches and upotte. good military anime is impossible to find
Hmm, Vividred Operation.
Less fanservicy than the others and is pretty awesome for first ep.

I don't know why I disliked it so much even knowing there are much worse anime with worse writing, plot and characters as well as relying more on suspension of disbelief.
Just watched the first episode of Sasami-san@gmail. All that money from Madoka Magica and the -monogatari series...gone. SHAFT is now bankrupt.
Remember how I was asking for anime names for birds?
I ended up calling him [URL="http://myanimelist.net/character/35252/Rintarou_Okabe"]Okarin[/URL] because whenever I try to take a photo, he runs away and talks to himself like a lunatic. :v:
Picture of my bird-brained time traveller: [url]http://i.imgur.com/IsAij.jpg[/url] He avoided at least twenty other shots
you really should have called him inko
I don't even know who Inko is. I googled him and found 32 second clip of a retarded bird

you've never watched toradora?
you should feel ashamed
[editline]11th January 2013[/editline]
wait aren't you the same guy who has also never seen bakemonogatari
you should feel doubly ashamed

You mean 1964 Olympic Games: The Anime? :v:

RIP monogatari season 2?
[QUOTE=Matrix374;39178568]RIP monogatari season 2?[/QUOTE]
Perhaps a throwback to the animation budget saving techniques of the first season?
kotoura san lies
it's not comedy ;~;
So watching Full Metal Alchemist, I've come to the conclusion that Scar [sp]looks really dumb without any arms, to the point that it's actually funny.[/sp] He's pretty much just The Black Knight but with more anime tough guy scowling
[editline]11th January 2013[/editline]
Oh Hey [sp]Hohenheim[/sp], what's that? You're going to be in three episodes purely for plot exposition? That's cool.
So Kokoro Connect was fucking excellent, and there were hilariously good moments in the last episode, especially where [sp]she couldn't control her thoughts and they just gushed out[/sp].
That is all :v:

why didn't you just watch brotherhood instead
[QUOTE=Akuma_lektro;39178814]why didn't you just watch brotherhood instead[/QUOTE]
I probably will some day, I heard Brotherhood had more of the jokey shit that just comes out of nowhere
[editline]11th January 2013[/editline]
While a little comedy relief isn't a bad thing, I think the characters randomly pulling comedy anime faces during dramatic sequences is a little offputting.

Brotherhood follows the manga
also Gundam Unicorn episode 6 pv
[video=youtube;0WIord1pQZ8]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0WIord1pQZ8[/video]
so vividred operation is supprisingly good, the grandfather / granddaughter greeting thing had me laughting a bit
also the opening theme (used as the ending) is okay aswell
[video=youtube;2QEgdXBk-MY]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2QEgdXBk-MY[/video]
Okay- Anyone who hasn't seen Strike Witches and Vividred Operation, I [b]challenge[/b] you to tell the two shows apart without cheating

Economics in a few hours and first episode of Mondai-ji-tachi
accel world is great, just finished ep 12
although i can already see where this plot is going
Does that show(Vividred Operation) have panty shots too in excess amounts?
Koutara san, damn. [sp]That was pretty fuckin' dark, glad it lightened up towards the end.[/sp]
And Boku wa NEXT, fuckin' [B]AMAZING[/B], just like Season 1.
GJ Club was alright, too slow at certain parts, but [sp]the Spider and Meat skits were funny.[/sp]
Tomodachi Next was pretty great,
I enjoyed that first episode more than the prequel entirely.
[QUOTE=Dragoshi1;39179156]Does that show(Vividred Operation) have panty shots too in excess amounts?[/QUOTE]
the answer is no, it doesn't have as much fanservice.
i mean the only real fanservicey thing apart from transformation sequence was this:
