Bamboo: Just wondering if you had any plans to stream Little Busters at all?

Yeah Funimation has it. I figured since it's a sequel, to a series she may not have liked (completely guessing here, could be way wrong), it won't be on the stream. Which is fine, just thought it odd it isn't wasnt featured. |

Huh. I didn't know that FUNimation had Haganai NEXT, but there it is on their list of episodes. I guess I didn't know because it's such a huge delay-cast. Episode four airs in fifty-nine hours and FUNi still haven't put up episode three.

I was going to rant a little bit about this particular show, but you know what? This just about sums it up. Except that my reaction wasn't mere apathy, but actually mild disgust. I'm certainly not inclined to continue watching, even if it does get better. The second half of the first ep was somewhat charming, but not good enough to erase the bad aftertaste left over from the first half. That aside, here's what I am watching this season^^ It's kind of a weak season for me, but I'm keeping busy with sequels and shows continuing from last season: 1. Chihayafuru 2: Yep, it's fantastic. I really like the new characters, and I had tears in my eyes at the exact same point that Bamboo did. My opinion and hers do not coincide very much this season, but I agree with her one hundred percent about this one! 
2. Magi: This one just gets better and better! I really like all of the characters, and the action scenes are great too. I never expected to like this series as much as I do, but it's become one of my most anticipated shows each week. Even though he's annoying at times, I've really been enjoying Alibaba's development. I can't wait for Sinbad to get his metal vessels back--that will no doubt be incredibly badass. 3. Zetsuen no Tempest: Still enjoying the heck out of this show. It's a unique kind of excitement to watch a show and not know until the end whether it's genius or has been talking out of its a** the entire time. Only time will tell! xD I'm really liking Hanemura though, and Samon just gets more likeable with each passing episode. As always, Mahiro and Yoshino are fascinating protagonists. 4. Maoyuu: I'm enjoying the weekly economics lessons, and I like the overall laidback atmosphere of the series. Lady Knight is my favorite character right now. She's awesome.  I hope Hero is more involved in later episodes, though. I want my cute banter, dammit! 
5. Senyuu: This is a miniseries, but it's hilarious. I'm usually laughing through its entire four-minute duration. 6. Amnesia: So far I'm enjoying it. It's miles better than Hiiro no Kakera and Arcana Famiglia were at this point, and that's good enough for me! xD There's an interesting mystery at the heart of this show, and I really hope the series takes full advantage of it. Not getting my hopes up, though. So far, it's just very atmospheric and good-looking. I actually like the gradient hair, and especially the weird eyes. This isn't a "good" show, necessarily, but it's holding my interest for now. 7. Hakkenden: I'm on the fence about this one. I like the youkai, and I want to know more about Genpachi, but it's pretty dull so far. I feel like something this bizarre shouldn't be able to be boring, but somehow it is. I'll probably give it one more episode to get more interesting, but otherwise, I'm out. This is a busy semester anyway, so I'll probably have to drop a couple shows after a while. I'm not caught up on Psycho-Pass or Hunter x Hunter, but I'm going to work on those whenever I get the chance. Haven't gotten around to watching the new Hetalia yet, but I'll be watching that one too. |

I like Amnesia, but probably because, at least as of Episode 3, it seems to be a bit of a fresh twist on the whole reverse harem thing. Yeah, the girl has no memories, but it doesn't seem like anyone really wants her to regain her true memories. Instead, those around her seem more interested in making her into the kind of woman they want her to be. And I feel sorry for her - It's got to be hell trying to figure out who you are when everyone around is more concerned with molding you into who they want. I think it's better than Arcana Famiglia (which I dropped around episode 5) and Hiiro no Kakera, which I felt obligated to finish (despite the second season being miles better than the first) solely to have some sort of conclusion.
Anyways, this season, I'm watching Amnesia, Kotoura-san, Chihayafuru 2 and Gdgd Fairies Season 2. I didn't think I'd like the Gdgd girls simply because of how the fairies looked, but, it's a pretty funny 15 minutes. Last edited by Cutiebunny on Tue Jan 29, 2013 1:24 am; edited 1 time in total |

You are way to hard on MDJ/problem children I think. I think that does a good job with providing us with the info we need to know when we need to know it without being to info dumpy. the characters have had fairly good introductions that let us know who they are and what they have been through, and give us an idea of what motivates them. the world is interesting and also fairly well introduced I think since it shows how the games work and the effects they have on the world that everyone is in. honestly I think that the three are happy to be there because they like it more then their original world. I have bamboo has more of a problem with the show kinda being a anything goes fantasy world more then anything else. that said I think that it is doing a fine job now and that it will either skate through it all or fall through the ice and start violating it's own rules. |

I actually dont care about it being a "delay" cast. Between work, gaming, and anime, as long as it comes out, I'm perfectly fine with it. I don't really care if it comes out 4 days later. At least it isnt months after the fact. Third ep isnt out because it only airs on tuesdays here. Plus, even though it's just a little bit, it actually contributes to making more. I like binge-ing anime in one go much better anyways, so maybe that is why it doesnt bother me. |

I am not reviewing Haganai NEXT or Little Busters because I never reviewed the first seasons.

Ouch...I didn't think Bamboo would place Amnesia that low.
I think it's much better than your usual reverse harem anime. Not as good as Hakuouki but way better than Hiiro no Kakera or...Arcana Famiglia. 
Yes, it's confusing, yes the whole 'don't go to the hospital' thing seems ridiculous, but there is a reason for all of this. But I really don't know how they're going to put all the routes in 12 episodes. They should have just animated Ukyo's(the long green haired guy who laughed like a maniac...believe me, there's more to him than meets the eye) route since it's the one which is the best imo plus it covers everything and it's what I feel the 'true' route. |

So yeah dtm42 basically hit the nail on the head about Kotoura , which should have its name changed to KotoManipulation. Most absurd first 10 minutes I think I've ever seen. Honestly, I've had many experiences with mentally handicapped kids with everything all the way to Down's syndrome, and none of them could be that oblivious. I dont see how this is so hard to spot. It feels like everyone has gotten Chunibyou lol. Just accept it folks lol. Don't worry the rest of the show makes up for it, it should still have a fairly high rating compared to the other stuff from this season.
On another note I'm rather surprised to see From the New World so low... particularly that its under Pshyco Pass especially with its last few eppies. Could've sworn it was the best series of last season, at least. It cleaned up everything that people thought were loose ends. I thought that having an unpredictable story where no one could guess what would happen next was one of the things people most value and kept people the most interested in a work. I guess, according to this review, that's not the case. Outside of these two points, I generally agree with the list. |

You seemed to have overlooked one basic fact. spoiler[When Haruka was sitting under that cloak behind MIfune, several students walked away angry. and arrows were pointing at the people who those thoughts actually belonged to. This meant to show us that Haruka couldn't see whose thoughts belonged to who, and gave everyone the wrong 'fortune'. It wasn't until she moved to the front, where she could actually see the person, that she could tell who thought what. Of course, by that time, Moritani sat in front of her, whose thoughts made quite clear to Haruka what she thought of her.]
When and where did that happen? |

Glad to see that Bamboo is enjoying Kotoura-san as it is my number two show right now, though still a bit behind Chihayafuru 2 (of course). Minami-ke Tadaima has so far been much closer to the first series than the other sequels, so I've been enjoying it a lot. I have mixed feelings on Tamako Market. If the bird is talking or interacting with characters on the screen then I pretty much hate it. If it's instead focusing on Tamako, her friends, and the shopkeepers then I enjoy it. Sadly, way too much time is spent on that bird. Lastly, I find GJ-bu to be quite entertaining. I wouldn't call it 'good' by any stretch of the imagination, but it works for me.
I'm a bit sad to see Hunter x Hunter no longer on The Stream. I must have missed an announcement. You didn't drop it during Yorkshin did you Bamboo? Anyway, Green Island has been pretty fun what with Bisuke's thorough training. |

Wow, Amnesia looks terrible. And more than anything, I don't remember any of that stuff Bamboo described happening in the game. It doesn't even look like it takes place in a spooky medieval castle and I'm pretty sure Daniel isn't a Japanese teenage girl. I'm losing hope that they'll ever even get to stitchface or the water monster.

I just saw episodes 1-3 of Sasami-san@Ganbaranai the show is really weird but it actually does explain everything within those three episodes pretty much. I am not going to watch anymore of it until it stops airing so I can find out if it dive bombs or not since it easily could, but it actually is setting itself up as an interesting not insanely weird story (note I didn't like episode 1).

Regarding Kotoura-san, I must say that I can agree with the posters who say she had no idea what she was doing was bad or that it was the reason she was being ostracized. I'm 32 years old now and I STILL don't know why I was treated as a freak when I was the same age as her(both as a child and a young adult.) I wasn't doing anything other than being myself and for whatever reason, it led to my being generally disliked, bullied, made a fool of, made fun of, being told I wasn't human etc and was why I spent much of my time from pre-school to high school sophomore life in a suicidal depression. So I will gladly be a counterpoint to anyone who says it was an easy thing to learn because it was not for me, and if it wasn't for me, it wasn't for others.
Maoyu.......I like it and I don't consider it to be too fanservicy. At least it's not shoving camel toe in your face every frame(an act I truly find reprehensible). Still enjoying Ixion Saga here, glad to see some....plot?.....finally show up, though. Space Brothers is amazing and coming close to matching Planetes as the best reality-based space show I can't stop recommending. |
