My fall "definitely watching" list will be:

Zetsuen no Tempest
K
Ixion Saga DT
Psycho-Pass
Robotics;Notes
Litchi DE Hikari Club


Will try an episode or two of the following and see whether they are good (expecting to drop most of them but they may surprise me):

Magi
Suki-tte Ii na yo
Chūnibyō Demo Koi ga Shitai!
Code:Breaker

I know there are at least 3 shoujo manga anime adaptations this season, but they don't seem to fit my taste. As to Little Busters, I played the game and there's no need to watch an JC Staff adapation anymore. I don't even like the game that much but Key fans will surely like it. Don't know whether there is an English translation of the game.

Yeah little busters is fully translated at this time and quite a good read at that. They only versions that are not is the adult version ex and all ages ex memorial which have 2 more routes that where not in the original title.

Good to see people being open-minded and giving a lots of shows a chance. I hate it when someone looks at one or two shows with awful premises and declares that the whole season is crap.

psycho pass - Gen writing it plus amano doing the character designs is awesome so im really looking forward to this.


Holy moly, I'd forgotten that Gen was doing this. Man, that makes me want to watch it even more.

The sad thing about anything Gen written is that you know exactly what to expect from Mr "I hate happiness" Urobuchi. Laughing

Actually, Gen loves happiness. He just sadistically enjoys making his characters work for it.

Well, in his own words...

Fate/Zero volume 1 postface wrote:
Urobuchi Gen wants to write stories that can warm people's hearts.

Those who knew about my creative history would probably furrow their brows and think this is a cold joke. Actually, I couldn't completely believe it, either. Because when I start typing out words on the keyboard, the stories my brain comes up with are always full of madness and despair.

In fact, I wasn't like this before. I've often written pieces that didn't have a perfect ending, but by the last chapter the protagonist would still possess a belief that 'Although there will be many hardships to come, I still have to hold on'.

But from I don't know when, I can no longer write works like this.

I am full of hatred towards men's so-called happiness, and had to push the characters I poured my heart out to create into the abyss of tragedy.

For all things in the world, if we just leave them alone and pay them no attention, they are bound to advance in a negative direction.

Just like no matter what we do we can't stop the universe from getting colder. It is only a world that is created through a compilation of 'progresses of common sense'; it can never escape the bondage of its physical laws.


Huh, funny how that last bit hints at Madoka's plot...

Yeah, I brought up that same issue very soon after the preview on Sakurasou went up (minus the image), though it doesn't look like anyone else but you is addressing it. Surely it's not a browser issue? Because I've been able to play every other ANN Video on Safari a-okay.

What I ended up doing to "remedy" this was to just do a youtube search of さくら荘のペットな彼 and voila, I found the anime trailer that's probably the exact same one that was supposed to be posted.

We DO NOT need to watch a show to criticize it.

Uhm... the hell you don't. How exactly are you going to criticize it, IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN IT? What exactly are you criticizing? The premise?


But we do it with Hollywood all the time! Laughing

(Spike Lee is on the phone.)

The extent of your exposure to something should limit your ability to criticize it, but I don't think it shuts it completely. I've never seen the live-action Scooby Doo film, but I feel confident in believing that it's really bad.


What if I told you that you're wrong? Wink

I vowed to never return to such a domain when I read some of the fanfictions my younger sister read. It was terrifying; horrors greater than the ones conjured by H.P. Lovecraft himself lurk within there. Cthulhu? Nyarlthotep? Even these Great Old Ones fear the monstrosities born within there. Randolph Carter's madden state of mind would heal only to be destroyed again if he witnessed the things I have viewed.

I'm using Firefox, so I have a different browser, and I get the same issue.
