I am not going to drop it (I am always watching the Mazui releases), I haven't watched the second episode yet, also i think its always a waste of time watching the first few episodes without the later ones^^ I think I got not enough laughs out of Kill me Baby, and I think I am pretty easy to get to laugh^^

Also... I am disappointed, I waited so long for Nisemonogatari yesterday and then they have subbed it when I am asleep


Nisemonogatari came out yesterday? or just a new episode o.O?

The second Episode, Blacksabers new avatar is from it ;P

Well yeah so I am going to ask for a recommendation for something, I need something to keep myself occupied for some 6 hours ^^

I will watch whatever the first one recommends me (and please let it be good ;P) and I haven't watched already, because I could always rewatch Haruhi for the gazillionst time...



I will recommend Panty And Stocking with Gaterbelt a anime that gives a middle finger towards almost every other anime ever made.



Former something....

Already watched that... and it gave me a lot of rofls^^

(I was at first no planning to watch it because of the art, then I watched the first episode and got hooked ;P)

EDIT: DAMN YOU FUNIMATION!!! Once again you flail me with your stupid licensing!

EDITEDIT: Goes out there, pretends to be american and watches it on funimation...

EEEDIT: HATES FUNIMATION AGAIN FOR ONLY OFFERING THE DUB!!!



Around the Network

BasilZero, here's a handy site for you.

www.animecalendar.net

It tells which episodes air when with station dates and times. This way you'll answer some of your own questions.

For Kill Me Baby, it's just not very funny. I feel it's the lowest derivative of dry humor that a billion other slice of life shows did better.

I used to really be into anime movies and series, but about since the turn of the century or even late 90s they just all went to crap. For every decent anime now there are a hundred horrid ones. Perhaps because back then they wouldn't let any old crap escape japan, this was pre internet let alone pre-streaming.

Also the price has near tripled for anime movies/series while regular TV shows/movies have not. Makes it very hard to take gambles on something you see and think may like.


Indeed that has been a problem, though a few animes in the last two years have tried to break the mold with very diffrent and bold stories/ideas.



Former something....

One of the most recent anime I've seen, that was actually really good, was Steins;Gate. Some of my other favorites are:


Legend of the Galactic Heroes
Crest of the Stars
Eden of the East
The Tatami Galaxy
Princess Jellyfish
Code Geass
Welcome to the N.H.K
Angel Beats!
Puella Magi Madoka Magica

Go and look back at older shows. Trust me, there's twice as much awful old stuff as there is good old stuff. There might be a bit of heavier ratio due to a few things like the reliance of adaptations, but I still don't think there's been a large decline.

Openings this season are pretty weak. I'll probably replace Carnival Phantasm with something I like (but it'll probably end up being Guilty Crown. )

 

Just put Nise's op in my signature. Top candidates for new entries are Mouretsu Pirates and Another. I may throw in High School DxD's ED since it's eyecandy.
