(+) Yeah! (+)

Man, you just really don't like shows like Hanebedo, huh? Stuff with an oppressive atmosphere always seems to turn you away.

Yeah I've learned that about myself since I started watching anime. It was partly why I've watched so much random junk since starting, to try and suss out my tastes. Things that are fun and high-energy have an immediate appeal with me, but less happy stuff has a harder time resonating. I can still enjoy it if it's done well, like Shiki for example, and I really love seeing characters confront despair while refusing to be broken by it, like Yuki Yuna. I just don't like seeing people wallow in sadness, I guess.

The opening sequence of Hanebado gave me a good feeling.

Like not an emotionally good feeling, but a "this show will be very good" good feeling.

Then the next 15ish minutes were 'ehhh maybe', then the ending happened and yeah this series will probably be good.

What's the funniest anime of all time?
---

Humor is subjective, but personally:

Konosuba
Cromartie
Yuru Yuri
Daily Lives of Highschool Boys
Nichijou

But #1 is the dub of School Days, and that's genuine.
---

Ghost Stories Dub
Prison School
Daily Lives of Highschool Boys
Konosuba

Grand Blue is hilarious in manga form, hopefully the adaptation does it justice
---

Probably fumoffu
---

School Rumble
---

Detroit Metal City can't be beat

Daily Lives of Highschool Boys

Daily Lives of Highschool Boys
Konosuba

---

In terms of pure comedy, Hinamatsuri and Squid Girl are my choices.
---

Theres this one scene in daily lives of high school boys where one of them lost his glasses and I was like thats so dumb but so funny

yay

I still haven't bought part 3
---

Bought the first 9 volumes of Jojolion.

Whyyyyy.

Well browsing their BD deals, NGNL is 30 bucks including OAVs and 70 eps of Cardcaptors is 50.

Though Monogatari seems to be the crowning deal.

Carnival Phantasm

...this one is probably not a popular opinion.

Also it's not as good when watched in isolation since it's a parody of other works.

I'm just buying the english releases as they come out

good reading material for pooping

When are you not mad?

Often.

When do you post more than once a topic?

Well, that's one way to do it!

Why do you have to be mad

I felt like watching something today so I went through Girlish Number (or Gi(a)rlish Number or whatever). I really liked it in the beginning because it didn't take itself seriously. They were making junk anime, they all knew they were making junk anime, but they all showed up for work anyway because that's just how it is. I appreciated that, there wasn't some big drama every five minutes like in the similar anime-about-anime Shirobako. Chitose was also the best, she had such a huge ego but it was totally undeserved, making her a crummy person who was still a ton of fun to watch. She reminded me a lot of the surly idol Akira from Lucky Star, who I also adored. Sadly, I didn't enjoy the direction Girlish Number took towards the end since it abandoned a lot of the aspects that I was enjoying. My final opinion of it is actually pretty negative as a result but I'm still glad I watched it for Chitose alone.
---

I am fucking loving Aggretsuko. Just finished ep 5
---

Girlish Number was big here while it was airing, but it seems to have really fallen on the wayside.
---

Yayaya aggretsuko
---

Psycho-Pass beated

was ok I guess
---

Why is the first episode of Planet With called a Special Preview?
---

I remember I didnt really like girlish number at first but something happened where everything just clicked together and now I think its a good show.
---

So ReLife, Made in Abyss, SNAFU and ReZero was grabbed today.

Today I'll likely just buy something Square and call it a day.

I mean the stuff its parodying is already a joke.
---

1 minute and 30 seconds in and Planet With is already....wow...

CAT CABBAGE
---

is there some sort of meta joke that I'm not getting or is Planet With supposed to be a thing that warrants hype?

at first glance it looks like those seasonal Toei kiddy mecha shows churned out to sell cheap Chinese plastic toys
---

Had to pause for a bit so I'm still only a bit in, but my understanding is that it's the writer.
---

Watching this and what Biscuit Hammer was like is FLOODING back to me a decade later.
---

oh ok that explains why lefty was hyped
---

Haha, what a concept.

Some hints of Zvezda here.

Just check it out, people.
---

Cells at Work more like Cells....not working WHY WON'T IT PLAY??
---

While the stream is still busted, tide yourselves over with the A+ OP.

ah the singing voice of the goddess of death that buried many VA careers half a decade ago

Flawless luffy logic at the end of the new one piece chapter
---

To make up for no new episode this week they put out a trailer for second half of the season

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wMCeFIPwrHE" data-time="

I'm sad at the glaring lack of Gang Orca in that trailer
---

Whoa, they put SephG in Chio's School Road
---

zing
---

Ok, move over Happy Sugar Life, it turns out Cells at Work is going to be anime of the season (and possibly of the year if it keeps up that quality).

That was a really great first episode. The anthropomorphized cells all had a surprising amount of character, especially the main red blood cell girl. Everything about this was cute and fun, I hope they keep it up for the rest of the season.
---

I don't know why it's still not showing up on Crunchy for me. So frustrating.
