On a mad impulse, he steals it.

Now everyone knows "some pervert" stole Saeki's uniform, and Kasuga is dying with shame and guilt. Furthermore, the weird, creepy, and friendless girl of the class, Nakamura, saw him take the uniform.

Several hundred years ago, humans were nearly exterminated by giants. Giants are typically several stories tall, seem to have no intelligence, devour human beings and, worst of all, seem to do it for the pleasure rather than as a food source. A small percentage of humanity survived by walling themselves in a city protected by extremely high walls, even taller than the biggest of giants.

Flash forward to the present and the city has not seen a giant in over 100 years. Teenage boy Elen and his foster sister Mikasa witness something horrific as the city walls are destroyed by a super giant that appears out of thin air. As the smaller giants flood the city, the two kids watch in horror as their mother is eaten alive. Elen vows that he will murder every single giant and take revenge for all of mankind.

Kyousuke Kousaka, a normal seventeen-year-old high school student, hasn't gotten along with his younger sister, Kirino, in years. For longer than he can remember, Kirino has ignored his comings and goings and looked at him with spurning eyes. It seemed as if the relationship between Kyousuke and his sister, now fourteen, would continue this way forever.

One day, however, Kyousuke finds a DVD case of a magical girl anime entitled Hoshikuzu Witch Merle (Stardust Witch Merle), which had fallen into the entranceway of his house. To Kyousuke's surprise, inside the case is a hidden adult video game titled Imouto to Koishiyo! (Love with Little Sister!). Kyousuke attempts to fish out the culprit who dropped the case by bringing up the topic of magical girl anime at the family dinner table. All that comes out is a strong negative reaction from his parents, especially his anti-otaku policeman father.

That night, Kirino bursts into Kyousuke's room and, in perhaps the first conversation she has initiated with him in years, says they "have things to talk about." Kirino brings Kyousuke to her room and shows him an extensive collection of moe anime and lolicon bishoujo games she has been collecting in secret.

Wait. Wut?

 

[Instro]

Photo Kano sounds like a shitty version of Tamayura.

[R_thanatos]

[zeroshiki]

Someone should post a link to this in the previous thread.

And by someone I mean duckroll since he's locked the thread.

 

[Dresden]

No Azazel-san banner, punching wall in anger.

 

[kayos90]

No wall of shame. Boycotting thread.

 

[duckroll]

Someone should post a link to this in the previous thread.

And by someone I mean duckroll since he's locked the thread.

If there are people who still can't "find" the new Animegaf thread, they don't deserve to be here. Lol.

 

[Instro]

If there are people who still can't "find" the new Animegaf thread, they don't deserve to be here. Lol.

OT Community is a barren land.

 

[Bob Coffee]

[kayos90]

We'll be done the 64 episodes by this week.

I. Am. So. Sad. T_T

 

[Negator]

Ahaha, this OT is great!

Lots of anime for me this season...again...

 

[jgminto]

Fuckin' ponies...GET THAT SHIT OUT OF MAH ANIME!!!

 

[Moonlight]

These OTs always destroy my internet connection, haha.

Not very thrilled about this season, but Little Witch Academia is due this season (right?) and I'm pretty sure if anything can save anime for me, it's that. I'm still in for Attack on Titan and depending on impressions, Majestic Prince. Largely seems like another backlog season for me, though, which is fine, because I still need to finish The Idolm@ster and Natsu no Arashi, and maybe Girls und Panzer if I can muster the effort.

Getting back into anime is way harder than getting out, let me tell you.

 

[kayos90]

I don't get all of the references for the OT subtitle.

Great job with the OT btw Brazil.

 

[zeroshiki]

If there are people who still can't "find" the new Animegaf thread, they don't deserve to be here. Lol.

OH GOD WHAT ARE THESE BUTTONS.

THE INTERNET IS SO HARD (T_T)
