So i have just finished watching Grisaia no Kajitsu (season 1) and OH FUCK! I was expecting it to be your typical harem/school/ecchi anime which it can relate to, but the "Psychological" aspect behind it blew my mind. The girl's past lives are soooooo tragic =( Especially the bus incident one <---- MAN! The writers went all out on her one! I am really loving all the characters. I am really liking Yuuji's personality as well. He basically has a comeback everytime when he starts to argue and is not shy to say his sexual desires =D <------- Very rare for male characters in harem animes. The action scenes were quite good too. Like i did get suprised and gasp a lot.

Cant wait to watch the 2nd season, which i think we will find about Yuuji's past. Giving this show a 9/10.

Indeed. A completely underrated anime due to its initial presentation. The bus arch is one of the most vivid and striking dramas in all of anime.

However it gets old quite fast since the drama is very shallow and only there for drama's sake. You will know what I mean when you watch the second season. His past is so tragic that it becomes a caricature of itself. They're just mindlessly cramming in all the bad stuff that could happen to a person.

soooo I just watched Grisaia no Meikyuu ( Its basically the 40min long one) and of FUCK! His past life is sooooooooo horrible =( And yeah like what you said they did just keep throwing stuff at him.  And THAT FUCKING WIG and the dress............... IDK what the fuck was that but that is just insane. And some YAOI shit happening there =D This anime just keeps blowing my mind.

So about 40 episodes into To Love-Ru (Season one, OVA season, and some of Motto), I decided I needed a break from the total lack of legitimate plot and near nonsensical, borderline unrelated episode progression. So I started watching Nisekoi because it seems like one of those ones everybody has seen but I haven't yet.

I've watched six episodes. It is enjoyable so far.

Can I just say that Gurren Laggan is kinda rubbish?

Well, compared to Kill La Kill, of course. Then again, what isn't.

You can but you might as well be speaking in Martian, because it won't make sense to me.  Past episode 7, Gurren Lagann is one of the most ambitious and epic anime I've ever seen.  It was an incredible ride.


The story in that anime is paper-thin. The animation is of poor quality. The characters are one-dimensional. The action is Not very exciting.

What are your favourite anime, btw?

I bought all of Eureka Seven for anime prices. I feel I've done my part for the anime industry with how expensive one season of any given show is. :p

Western anime prices? Because those aren't so bad, a fraction of the price of the Japanese rip off prices.

I don't even want to know what Japanese prices are like when prices I've seen tend to sit between $40 and $60 for as little as four episodes. Anime pricing is ridiculous, and it really puts me off from collecting.

Woah, you're not really far off Japanese prices

European prices don't seem that bad, although I can't find a European version of Eureka Seven to compare with, only expensive US imports

Thankfully, I only paid about $22 for each season of Eureka Seven during a Funimation sale several months back. That's the reason it's the only one I've splurged on, since it was around 50% off and worth the price.

Nisekoi is funny so far and at least has plot progression from episode one, so I'd argue it's enough of a step up. I'm not expecting a masterpiece here, which keeps everything that much more enjoyable. Granted, it's fairly close to 40 episodes between season one, OVA episodes, and season two, so I don't know exactly how much I'll still be enjoying it by the end, but I don't see myself hating it since I've already resigned myself to the fact that nothing conclusive will happen in regards to character relationships, and that it will just be a bunch of funny and awkward moments start to finish.

Random pic of the day!

Cute girl with a football? Which anime is that from?

I somewhat regret spending 20 minutes refining google searches trying to figure this out, but finally, I got it. This girl is not from an anime. She is from an H-Game VN called Natsu no Ame, or Rain of Summer/Summer Rain. She is Midori Miyazawa, although, even if you're interested in the game (so lewd! :p), unless you know Japanese or Chinese, you're out of luck.

Huzzah! :D You made the right choice.

I love the series, but I do like to warn people that it's based on an ongoing Jump manga, and the anime stays pretty faithful to it. Which means that story won't conclude in the anime. If you enjoy the humor and the basic premise, you'll continue to enjoy it, but just keep in mind that the source material has stil yet to resolve anything. Though it seems you're already ready for this, so that shouldn't be a problem.

Enjoy! 

Also I have no idea how to cut quote trees on my phone, so sorry about that.
