How witful of you. Too bad I wasn't hating, just stating facts. Nice try though.
You may want to read again, there were only 4 lines in my post, it's too bad you still managed to missed parts of it.
Please develop. I don't get your point.
I dont know the true feeling of exctiement but Im sure its a good thing!
Did people not agreeing with your opinions make you feel bad? Casting them as some pretentious reactionaries demeans you, not them.
Lol, it wasn't anything particularly meaningful. In my experience though, letting arguments escalate to personal insults doesn't lead to good things, to put it simply.

Is Code Geass a mecha show? I honestly don't remember.

Screw it I am going to watch Inu x Boku SS. Nothing can go wrong with this plan. NOTHING.
This song is like the new Guile theme.
The girls are cute. The guys are cute. I hope you enjoy, lol.
It was a show.

It's a "Silly things happen to mean (and innocent) people" show.
First season sure was. Second not so much although they were present.
I'm a huge fan of Da Capo and even I can tell you that you made the right choice not watching it. Inu X Boku is a much better show.

That's probably the best choice you made all day.

Cardfight!! Vanguard Asia Circuit 79 (eng dub)
Really fun episode against regular opponents though in this Seoul location the random rules for each cardfight made it a bit fun and unexpected. Loved Kamui's "this is how I roll, Nova grappler style" thing as well as one of the players LIMIT BREAK!. That preview though
-----------
Also did get more anime and stuff today

This is a great idea.
Have you watched Ben-to yet? That's an equally good idea.
Unfortunately...I can't really seem to post about everything I watch, but here's the latest stuff:
Katanagatari - 7
It really is a lot more fun to just listen to the characters banter rather than trying to get much enjoyment out of the actual fight sequences in this show. Oh yeah....
Jojo's Bizarre Adventure - 19
And this one is sort of the opposite, at least on some level, since the crazy stuff Jojo comes up with during the fights to stay one step ahead (figuratively if not always literally speaking) is often a lot more entertaining to watch than the actual dialogue, which only has some occasional points of amusement between the loads of unnecessary exposition.
Oh, and one other thing...
I'd slightly object to that. R2 actually had more mecha on the screen than the first season, technically speaking, even if they just weren't used quite as well (a small handful of decent exceptions aside). Yes, a ton of other stuff was going on too, but I can't really argue it wasn't a mecha series on those grounds though.

it was kind of harsh to kill off the sister character like that, I won't deny this much, but I'll miss her cynical remarks more than what she was really doing lately.

The highlight of the crossovers has to be Ryoma and Kamina getting into some kind of manliness contest which involved both of them running around a desert and challenging monsters to fights.

OK. Looking bad into the thread to find names. I found that I misread one or two posts so in the end I'm not talking about "they" anymore.
However the behavior that I was pointing out is this one:
Edit: another one for you:
Though I didn't use it the expression myself, I will adopt your phrasing here:
This is being "pretentious reactionaries" (not sure of how to write it in ingular form reactionar? reactinary? Whatever.)
Does that satisfy your curiosity for names?
This show is hard at times, but that's also what I loved it so much.

Can't believe I'm not the only fan of Da Capo here. And yeah, it's one of those shows that I would never recommend people to watch unless they're really into that genre.

It's a pleasant surprise when something that is good also winds up being popular. And then reality sets back in and twenty more shitty shows come along and become even more popular.
Kallen was one of the only characters I liked.
Nina and Schneizel were the worst. Also,
Lelouch's mom for just being a terrible human being.
That's a difficult question to actually answer.

Code Geass for me is on the same level as School Days. Its a show about horrible people you watch in the hopes that bad things happen to them.
Are you watching Da Capo III? I think it's been pretty average so far. The group dynamic in the first episode was great and I wish it would focus more on that instead of individual characters. But I understand why they do it that way.
Makoto is nowhere near as fabulous as Lelouch. I cannot accept this argument.
Best villain ever.
Code Geass is a good show though, while School Days is terrible.

I really don't like it from what I've seen (boob jiggle every 3 seconds, Sakura's VA change, general art direction etc). But I think it has potential and anything to do with the magic of the Sakura tree is nice. I'll keep watching because it always gets more interesting towards the end.
Absolutely, and I liked Spice and Wolf a lot too. Not really sure if I'll check out the rest of NisiOisin's works yet though. Bakemonogatari seems to get some very good word of mouth, which is fair enough, but the others appear to have more mixed opinions.
Yes, I see what you mean. It's a bit regrettable that I read one specific spoiler about how things will end a long time ago, but I'm still finding the experience to be worthwhile in spite of that detail.
Yeah they really turned up the fanservice for some reason. I really hope that it gets better though and you're right that it usually does get better towards the end.
He was also a lot of fun as Jean baptiste emmanuel Zorg.
Senjougahara is incredible.

First part: LOVE&PEACE.
Second part: Hilarious sushi.

The classiest way to do sushi was Tama-chan way.

The method to do sushi was the same as how to draw a perfect circle or how to draw an owl

Are those Sailor moon outfits?
By the way, how good is sailor moon? I've never watched it.

NOT LIKE THIS.
Its quite a fun time.
So is Futari wa Precure.
Both are very formulaic but helped to define the genre. How much you can tolerate the monster of the day routine will decide how much you enjoy these shows.

Yup. I absolutely adored it. It was my very first anime though, so I may be a tad biased.
Ask Cajun, he's currently going through it now.

Thank you all.
I watch anime, I should be fine regarding that. I'll put it on my backlog
The Idolm@ster Episode 16
961 is everything that I feared it would be. Cheap, manufactured, boring drama forced upon the show by cheap, manufactured, boring villains. This episode was just dull. Hibiki is a decent enough character, but I was honestly checking to see how long until the episode would just end five or six times as I viewed it. I'm just not interested in Kuroi and his Blackstreet Boys, and it's a bit aggravating seeing them eat up so much air-time - and not in the way that I suspect they wanted me to be aggravated. I'm not against conflict - not at all, it's just that there are far better ways to set up conflict. Far better ways to set up this very same kind of conflict, even, and the show is content with taking an easy way out in this regard. It's kind of mind-blowing how completely oblivious Jupiter is to their Literal Captain Planet Villain boss's true colours, too.
We got some more foreshadowing on Chihaya's past, anyways. In fact, I think the show's already given the viewer enough clues to figure out most of it.
In short, boring episode with a boring conflict and a boring resolution.

She knows. She definitely knows.
Also, bonus points for using those decors in the fight. And not just for summoning an elephant.
