Dog Days S2...

nooooooooo D:

I like the world and the designs, which are cute, but the story was stupid and the main char... make that most of the chars were incredibly bland. Yet I will still force myself to watch this because I watched S1 and might as well...

[Elcura]

Why is anyone surprised that such crap would get a second season? I took one look at the show and fucking called it. Then I watched 5 episodes and called it again. By the way, I never got past episode 5.

Shoudla watched till 7 for "one" of the bathing scenes at least! (´￢`)

[Elcura]

7 episodes for a bath scene is way too long. Not even good enough ecchi to keep me watching lol

Bakuman ED by Tommy Heavenly 6. AWWWW YEAAH. :D

[Avvesione]

Yeah, the story sucked for Dog Days and the characters weren't that great but that's not why the series was popular. It was an innocent, light-hearted anime, which a lot of people can get into (like Ika Musume but not as funny/entertaining/good). And if the BD/DVDs sell, then why not milk the franchise?

Think about all the other dog- and cat-eared girls they add next season...

C3

lol, they do a lot of cliches in this one the right way, so far anyway.

Heard it gets dark as fuck, looking forward to that

[Rivero]

I kind of got the same impression. I'm hoping it pulls a Madoka or something similar.

[Zilong]

even then you can't just randomly throw blood and gore hope the series won't suck afterward

Watched Fate Zero ep 1... and... I'm not sure yet.

There's barely any animation (mostly all still shots with people talking), and while it's gorgeous art, I want to wait until I see some action sequences before saying OMG AWESOME.

And if I wanted to listen to exposition, I'd have gone to read a novel instead.

[Kirin]

This is what I've found so far, just got done watching it. http://www.nyaa.eu/?page=download&tid=249602

Thanks, figured it would be a popular project but I last downloaded Gundam 00 from Eclipse. So many sub groups now didn't know who was good/fast/accurate/etc anymore.

[Avvesione]

C3 - Nothing new here. Was pretty boring and the characters are all recycled stereotypes. Going to pass on this. Did have enough striped panties to keep me interested, though.

[Elcura]

So out of curiousity I watched Blood-C. And holy shit, so bad. Yet so funny at the same time. I swear it was the dumbest thing I've ever seen.

I dunno guys, I'm torn between not recommending it because it's so bad, and recommending it to watch exactly because it's so bad. It's like School Days all over again, except you don't have to wait 10 episodes for the crazy.

C3 is meh, I hated it but I hated Madoka at first too. If it gets dark we'll see, but Zilong is right, Blood-C showed that no matter how much blood and gore there is, a shitty show is still gonna be shitty.

It was a prologue episode, it'd pick up soon enough, and they totally missed the most fucked up masters of them all.

I'm still not okay with all the 'squid' puns in the second episode of Ika Musume. At least they're not a surprise anymore but they're still kinda annoying. Didn't check Underwater's script this week but I imagine it's the same as Horrible and KindaHorrible. FFFPeeps seems to be the only ones who do a script without puns but they're slower.

And I'm sure Mithras already know but I see a lot of Sanae in myself. It's been pretty obvious since her first appearance. Probably explains why I like her so much.

[Mrbeansman]

I'm okay with the wait if it means no squid puns. Good things come to those who wait etc.

I like Sanae because she's fucking crazy. Shrimp body suit early in S1 made me piss myself.

This Tamayura anime is creepy. This is taking place around Shioiri. I live near Shioiri... I recognize nearly all these scenes. Then the actual interior of her apartment looks like mine... to cap it off, I see what I took as a screenshot. I live in those apartments!

If anyone is looking for a great tool to help keep track of the shows they are watching I suggest http://animecalendar.net. By default everything airing shows, but you can apply your own filters and even get an iCal file to use with other calendar applications. Pretty slick imo. Incidentally my Thursdays are looking to be pretty busy starting next week.
