[up][up] It's not working out very well for me.

Yup... It isn't.

In other news: Is there anyone here who will watch EVERYTHING next season?

Well half of the stuff is moe shit, or has moe. Most are sequels too. Personally I'll indulge myself to those that aren't sequels so I won't be seeing Shana.

Uh. I intend to watch Fate Zero and... shit, is Boku Tomo fall season? I figured I might watch that. I just can't watch even half of an anime season. Not that I've ever tried, but even getting up to four or five a couple seasons back was bothersome for me.

I think I can manage to watch 3 or 4 shows. Only Fate Zero and Persona 4 are a must-watch. I do have Boku Tomo on my radar, though.

Have any of you read "Ane Doki"? I just discovered it today and found it to be a cute, heartwarming read. Shame no one's made a page on it yet.

...It's a bit fanservice-y though.

[up]Read it, but it was so short, just 3 volumes. By the same author, Hatsukoi Limited is another short series....

And all before that, there was Strawberry One Hundred Percent....

Want to make the page? I'll help.

Does anybody seriously think that their own personal favorites are definitely the BEST in any objective, absolute way?

While we're talking about "best anime ever"... I've finally just watched the Revolutionary Girl Utena movie, and oh dear gods, the crack...

  • We need a "Architecture Student's Orgasm" trope, if we don't already have one. The backgrounds in this movie are a thing of wonder.
  • Poor, poor Nanami...
  • These Shadow Girls are even more awesome than usual.
  • I really don't like Anthy's new character design. Everyone else, I'm okay with, but Anthy's just doesn't work for me.
  • In many ways, this is EXTREME!Utena : everyone acts way more hyper than in the series, all the relationships are way exaggerated, as the movie spends no time being coy and subtle like the series did.
  • There's no way this movie makes any sense to anyone not familiar with the series, is there ?
  • That said, there are some very good swerves that only work because the movie spends its first half lulling us into a false sense of familiarity, quickly sketching what looks like an alternate retelling... until it goes completely off the rails after Juri's duel. It wouldn't work so well if we didn't have expectations about Utena, Anthy, Touga and Akio's roles in the plot.
  • This is MUCH, MUCH gayer than the series.

[up] Scenery Porn is that way, Aisle 9.

Anyone who assigns themselves loads of character tropes is someone to be worried about.

#10594: Sep 19th 2011 at 3:31:07 PM

Nah, this a more specific subtrope, where the backgrounds are taken over by crazy architecture that can't possibly work in Real Life, but looks awesome on screen.

We need a "Architecture Student's Orgasm" trope, if we don't already have one.

If that page is ever launched I will jump in there first and add Blame.

Season Enders!

So we're finally here. The end of the season. Any comments for this season as a whole from our loyal tropers?

Bizarrchitecture is what I was thinking of. The series' Ohtori Academy is barely plausible to start with, but the movie takes it Up To Eleven.

[up][up] This season was okay, although a lot of that was from leftovers from Spring (Steins Gate, Tiger And Bunny...). Still, we've had Mawaru Penguindrum and Bunny Drop.
