Lu: From what I hear, Infinite Stratos really is pretty crappy. Getting upset at the series for not being something else just seems pointless to me.

Perhaps what I am REALLY raging at is the fact that I watched this and, goodness gracious for a while, even liked it.

That makes more sense. It is a little disappointing to watch some, enjoy it and then realize afterward 'Wait, that show was awful!'

For me, it is more like:

"Wow this is a pretty fun show! Man, those harem shenanigans are actually pretty funny!"

Weeks later

"WHY THE FLYING FUCK DID I WATCH THIS PREPOSTEROUS SHIT!"

It's one of those cases where one really wishes a better* writer had come up with the concept.

  • "Better" in this case meaning one that would actually follow the premise all the way down the rabbit hole and consider the full implications.

...well, how about some licenses from ACEN?

Sentai: Cluster Edge, Hakuoki, Upotte, and Bakumatsu Kikansetsu Irohanihoheto

Aniplex: Rerelease of the Baccano blu-rays. They will still be overpriced and have no commentaries.

NIS America: Bunny Drop!

Funimation: King Of Thorn (with a cast announcement to boot!) and Eureka Seven AO (which they will be simulcasting as well)

This is the first time I ever had any interest in watching it. Seems like a great dub (also, not being familiar with the series, seems to have good music).

Speaking of which, here's the dub cast. Safe, but what else about this show is?

Claymore has ended without warning in this month's Jump SQ.

Its sequel starts next issue.

Nisekoi pre-orders have apparently been so ridiculous that Amazon won't be in stock for another few weeks. Note that the series has yet to fall off the top half of the Shonen Jump ToC. Proof that being a Cliché Storm can be a good thing.

EDIT: To everyone who watched Cube X Cursed X Curious, episode 13 is out.

The information I got about Claymore was false, apparently. There is no sequel series, it just suddenly ended.

The manga creator wants to make a sequel series at some point, and retcon the Gecko Ending from the first anime.

Question: How come no Sentai elements-incorporating Magical Girl Warrior anime/manga has attempted to adopt the Humongous Mecha aspect of the Super Sentai series? Imagine that: A Magical Girl Warrior piloting a Humongous Mecha against a massive Kaiju of the Week.

Because apparently girls are thought in japan to not like Humongous Mecha (With the exception being Escaflowne)?

It's not that bad a series. If you're judging the manga by the anime, well... Even fans of the manga hate the anime. :/

The manga's meh. I support it for supporting's sake.
