Kosakyun Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 Episode 4 of Accel World One thing's really bugging me. Specifically, how quickly Arita & Kuroyukihime 'fell in love' with each other. Like they honestly only feel like acquaintances to me at this point so to hear them go "I love you" & monologue about how they'll protect each other and whatnot it was just a big no no for me xD. All of their interactions prior to Episode 4 have been entirely info-dumping based to explain the Brain Burster/Accel World stuff and maybe a few comedic school situations where their peers would be like "What is this popular beautiful girl doing with a short fat wimp?!@#" or Chiyu (Arita's childhood friend btw) getting jealous of their rapidly developing relationship. Ep 1- Arita meets Kuroyukihime who introduces him to Brain Burster & solves a bully problem of his Ep 2- Arita beats his first opponent in Accel World with some encouraging/info-dumping advice from Kuro Ep 3- Arita info dumps Level 9s/10s with Kuro & agrees to help her confirm if his friend Chiyu is Cyan Pile ??? Ep 4- Arita & Kuro are spouting out "I love you" and "I'll protect you" when the bully from Ep 1 revenges and tries to run them over via car Eh, we'll just say love at first sight. K I feel better now~ Actually, nah, the opposite applies with Arita & Takumu soonafter. These guys were supposed to be childhood friends and yet all of a sudden it's revealed Takumu is Cyan Pile so whoop-dee-doo our friendship this whole time was a sham and we're enemies now trololol. TL;DR I'm a character interactions fanboy and these interactions are pretty badly paced so far It's something like what I felt for Asuna x Kirito. I just can't, man. Quote
Ceris Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 Started on Love Live, seems I lowered my expectations too much on this series... Why lower expectations a ton before even watching it, when the series has an excessively large fanbase? Quote
Kosakyun Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 Why lower expectations a ton before even watching it, when the series has an excessively large fanbase? It's more fun that way? Though I tend to have no expectations at all. Just accept the series as it is~ Quote
FruitsPunchSamurai Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 Ah!!!!!! Gargantia is soooo amazing, I love the anime so much. I bought the Japanese Limited Edition boxes! Ah man I can't wait for the second OVA to come out in May of this year. I hope they continue the story or at least go back to the big colony and I want to explore it. Gah .. I was surprised by how beautiful the anime is overall. I'll be waiting for that 2nd OVA. Right now I am currently watching FMP the second raid. Ahh classic Sousuke Sagara. Quote
Jibril Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 Why lower expectations a ton before even watching it, when the series has an excessively large fanbase? Because it's an idol moe series and I expect well.... normal moe series... not... this... Quote
Eclipsed Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 Because it's an idol moe series and I expect well.... normal moe series... not... this... Wait does that mean you're enjoying it or does it mean you're not enjoying it xD Quote
Jibril Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 Wait does that mean you're enjoying it or does it mean you're not enjoying it xD Both, I'm not enjoying it because it's not moe slice of life idols but I'm enjoying it because it's much more than that XD Quote
The_Count Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 Currently I am watching Death Parade, as well as Assassination Classroom. Two completely different anime, but so far I am liking both. Quote
Ezeefreak Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 Started Tamako Market yesterday... It seems to be pretty interesting and funny. Maybe nothing extraordinary but i think I'll enjoy it. Quote
havoc Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 finally finished the tenchi muyo ryo ohki (OVA) series. Without a doubt a enjoyable series. The first harem and comedy series i enjoyed in a long time. And for me the tenchi series are probably the best harem series there is, better than DxD. Although i have not watched the entire tenchi series yet, just tenchi muyo ryo ohki and tenchi war on gremitar. And the ending, is some of the best i have ever seen, i mean the ending songs. Will take a break from the tenchi series for now and find something else to watch and then come back for another tenchi series. Quote
nohman Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 Finished the last 3 episodes of Chihayafuru that I left hanging for about a week. S2 had everything I enjoyed about S1, plus more Shinobu! This show has easily become one of my favorite anime. On episode 44 of Diamond no Ace. I don't know how I watched so many already, it went by so fast. Quote
Eclipsed Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 Ep 15 Accel World To have some fodder uninteresting villain pop up out of nowhere and cause all the main characters to BSOD and be depressed through cheese tactics (blackmail in the real world & steal-powers ability in Accel World) is pretty damn sad/annoying/pisses me off so much. Fodder villains should never be able to cause this much mayhem >.> Unless Noumi is the big baddy for the rest of the season. Edit: whoop-dee-doo, he is. fk this show. Here's what someone else on MAL had to say about Noumi "Noumi. Look up the word douchebag in the dictionary. You will see his ugly face plastered on that page. He is the perfect villain that has the ability to draw out anger and hatred for him. He is a classic alpha-male bully that exists for the sole reason of getting on your nerves. Seeing his downfall is something that everyone looks forward to." -Smooched ~~~ Ep 20 Accel World. F@#% me. I want to enjoy this show but this is sadly a case of a good premise tainted by annoying characters, a lame overpowered villain and a draggy degrading plot. Here was a review on MAL I 1000% agree with"Now obviously I won't spoil anything, but let me just say, the second half of Accel World has some of the most rage inducing episodes you'll come across. Why? The characters start acting in completely illogical and infuriating ways, I had just forgiven Haru for the first half of the series when he just goes downhill in a spectacular fashion, the show starts introducing plot devices that either make little sense or break the setting Accel World itself, and the plot degrades terribly. Indeed, this half was so poor they had to introduce a few episodes of filler in the middle to give you time to calm down. The antagonist has at his disposal seemingly every plot contrivance possibly, and an ability that would never be allowed in any game of that sort." -Infinite Quote
Roach Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 Watching Nichijou. This show get more and more absurd, isn't it? I swear I got chills when I heard someone said Selamat Pagi o_o Quote
Nosebleed Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 Watching Nichijou. This show get more and more absurd, isn't it? I swear I got chills when I heard someone said Selamat Pagi o_o It only gets more absurd from there. SELAMAT PAGI! Quote
Jibril Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 It only gets more absurd from there. SELAMAT PAGI! Selamat malam. IMO it's the best thing in Nichijou just because I know the language hahaha~ Quote
Kleif Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 Currently watching aldonah. That graphic totally great for mecha anime. The fight between inaho vs slaine seems interesting too. That implanted eye on Inaho and afterimage vision on Slaine, lol, awesome Quote
melo4496 Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 Absolute duo. Action, Ecchi, Harem, Romance, School, Supernatural I don't usually watch Ecchi stuff but in this anime, there's not really much ecchi stuff going on.. and the main heroine is moe!! so you might want to give this a try as well. Quote
Eclipsed Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 Picked up some Supernatural anime like Bakemonogatari, Noragami, & Kyoukai no Kanata; reached Ep. 2 for all of them. Everything looks good so far~ Quote
nohman Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 On episode 7 of Shingeki no Bahamut. I can tell this is going to leave me wanting more. The brief glimpses you catch of the different aspects (technology, history, magic) of the world in this show is such a tease. In some ways, it might be better that way. Really keeps a sense wonder. On a side note, Rita is pretty great. Also watched 3 episodes of Kill La Kill. Great animation, action, and music. You know an anime is pretty good when you finale level fights by the 3rd episode. I wouldn't be surprised if it took the same kind of escalation TTGL did. Quote
Nobuki Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 I proposed myself to watch all the Monogatari Series within 3 days so wish me luck! ^.^ Apparently I'm out of romance animes. Quote

TehRealOne Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 Actually I forgot to add that I'm also watching the first season of Chuunibyou. Damn, once you get past the first 2 episodes you don't start cringing as hard anymore Quote
SilverLi Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 Watching Mayo Chiki. I am enjoying it a lot. But I suspect a boring cliffhanger without a true end sadly. Quote
