It's absolutely a magical girlfriend anime and not a harem one. Despite Urd's efforts.
And Keiichi, like Tenchi, is a good enough guy that it actually makes sense.
MMMm...Good point, TOZ.
Still can only barely stand Tenchi Muyo, though.

Oh, Anime.
Bad Guy: "The plan I've had all along is the plan you knew was my plan from the beginning, because I said it, like, five minutes ago!"
Good Guys: "Wh-WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT~? We could never have guessed that, in secret, the very thing we knew what was true was, in fact, true!"
Bad Guy: "Muwahahah! By telling everyone my plan from the beginning, I hid it so well that you're all surprised!"
Ah, Chobits. So polarizing. I... thought it was mostly pretty sweet (and that Hideki was amazingly stupid for his inability to have an "in my head" dialogue*). I was a bit "meh" on the anime's ending, and the bad guys kind of came from nowhere, but I enjoyed it.
* So, in other words, anime working as intended! :)
The Wise Wolf of Yoitsu is best magical girlfriend.
I have not see this thing. I take it that it comes recommended? Is it Crunchy Roll?
I really didn't like the "sex is bad" aspect of chobits. But someone I love swears by the series.
Maybe Assassination Classroom will have a better ending than the previous "kill your classmates" anime.
which was?

I usually only lurk this thread, but I'll chime in to praise Assassination Classroom: while I'm not watching the anime (the studio that animates it is uuuuuugh, even if I heard they're doing a better job than usual this time. That's not saying much tough <.<), it's been some time since I've been reading the manga.
As the premise, there's absolutely no classmate-killing (as of chapter 128, at least, but there's no friend-murdering in sight luckily): the only objective is Korosensei. While I was a little skeptical about it at first (the premise was crazy-enough, but I worried it would have fallen flat on its face), it has been very good for now : it has an overall great execution, good pacing, and almost everyone in the class gets his/her time to shine and backstory explored. If they manage (read: have enough time/money) to do that in the anime, I can vouch that it will turn out really cool. ^.^

I finally watched Kinos Journey. I both like and dislike it at the same time if you can figure that out. Hmmm... I guess I like that it fits together perfectly like a well made piece of artwork showing us this impossible and insane set of countries. And then there is Kino herself who really isn't anything like me... well other than the fact that we are both skilled with a handgun, she is far better than I am, I admit. I would actually dislike staying only three days at a place. Speaking of dislike... I find the countries depicted as horrible mostly and wonder at the impossibility of the whole place. People ... people aren't as bad or as single minded as they seem to think. The episodes leave me feeling depressed.

Saw an episode. It was pretty fun.

I'm glad you saw it and I appreciate your thoughts. IM sorry it wasn't a better fit for you.
Hell Girl time?
I have seen a few episodes of Hell Girl at an anime convention... it was creepy. I love the idea of sending really bad people to hell, it horrifies me to think the one who needs help has to go there as well.
Wait... so she doesn't screen these people to see if they really need help?!
Wait... so she doesn't screen these people to see if they really need help?!
nope
the desire for revenge is more important than the actual justification behind it. That is the main reason for the "2 Graves" price tag
She has nothing to do with helping people.
That's the thing about Japanese ghost stories. They are never pretty and sometimes bad things just happen because you crossed the wrong path.
I would say that's a bit unfair.
There are a couple of redemption episodes, though they are few and far between. There is also the CRAAAAAAAZY sorta kinda redemption episode.
Considering this is coming from a culture that used to have the death penalty for going over your superior's head to report his abuses (for both the accuser and the accused),it does sound like it could be a very different cultural thing.
Depends heavily upon the episode.
I truly loved the second seasons more episodic approach. Some had damn good reasons to contact ai, others did not.

I have Hell Girl in my Crunchyroll queue. I'll have to watch that soon. I'm binge watching Cowboy Bebob since I haven't seen it in awhile and I'm thinking about doing a SAO 1 and 2 marathon.
Tomorrow, I need to call Netflix and talk to them- I've just sent back the same Mobile Suit Zeta disc twice because it was cracked all the way through when I received it. This is on top of pretty much every other disc in the series so far coming to me obviously damaged. I've run into this problem with quite a few of the Sunrise Bandai discs (since they aren't in distribution anymore, figuring there's only so many copies and they can't be replaced) but a QC check would be nice before they shipped it off.
It's monstrously unfair.
Aye, Hell Girl is not a pleasant show by any means.
Nonsense.
The show is wonderful.
I didn't mean in regards to quality. I meant in regards to what happens to characters in it.
I liked the girl who was obsessed with her neighbor. That was a dark love story.
...I just realized I forgot to return the Ghost in the Shell DVDs to my friend. Then again, I still need to watch them.
Man, I really love Urd as a character - sensuous, sexy, voluptuous, aggressive, and seductive... and entirely dedicated to ensuring her younger, sweet sister has a happy life. Such a rare combination of traits; usually her character would be selfish or attempting to seduce the lead guy or something. Nope. She's just good.
(And Skuld is getting a little better too, I guess, as of the first episode of Season 2. A little.)
You sound like my girlfriend - loved Urd, hated Skuld.
Urd's only real fault (apart from going all demony and trying to destroy the world) is impatience - which is somewhat understandable considering she has to deal with both Keiichi and Belldandy. Like the viewers, she just wants to shake them and say "you both love eachother. You know it, I know it, everyone knows it. Just get it on already!"
I agree with this entirely.
It's funny, though, I didn't have a problem with the pace of their relationship before Urd showed up, but, frankly, I get where Keiichi is coming from.
He genuinely doesn't feel worthy of Belldandy. He can't really believe that his wish is going to stay true forever - and he's been given some evidence of this.
I really think that this, above all, is the source of his hesitation - the idea, "I don't want to make her regret this time, when it inevitably ends." which, given his life up until now, is a sad, but understandable position to take. (I'm not even sure how conscious it is.)
Skuld gets better.
I'm starting to see it. A bit. Still skeptical, but she's getting there. :I

and now Monster Musume is a go for animated series.
Mixed feelings on this.
As Harem stories go, I actually love this one. All of the girls are interesting, even the third ring orbit like the MonSquad team. The Main character is fairly likable and I can actually understand why the girls fall for him, because he is someone who sees each of them as people. The series is fun even if there isn't really much of a plot. It's even educational ever once in a while (I never knew Spiders get drunk on cafine)
So on the one hand I am really looking forward to seeing it animated
on the other hand there is going to be so much blinding light rays and steam that I have to wonder if there is actually going to be anything to watch.
That's why I usually stick to manga nowadays. Of course there's also the fact that I don't have time to watch anime episodes. I read manga faster than that.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ALL ABOARD THE GOOD SHIP CHEESECAKE
Looking for an anime recommendation and you guys seem to have good taste.
In the mood for an exciting actiony/scifi/fantasy anime that is low on filler and isn't episodic in nature, by which I mean it has one more or less coherent story it follows against a prime antagonistic group or individual at a time, rather than just a bunch of random adventures strung together.
Akame Ga Kill was a great recommendation from you guys and just finished up Hellsing Ultimate and rewatching Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood with friends, looking for more of the same.
Thanks for any recommendations. =)
Record of Lodoss War OVA, if you can get it.
(The series - not the OVA - was... goooooooooooo~d? But... more... um... "scattered"... and presumed knowledge of the source material. The OVA kind of ended a little suddenly, but the ending was at least projected and good, and it did so because it was published as an adaptation of a then-ongoing manga. The ending did wrap up the whole storyline, though, instead of just it's own small portion with the main plot left a cliffhanger (DARN YOU, No Game, No Life - DARN YOU A NEW PAIR OF SOCKS!).
Something tells me there will be uncensored Monster Musume episodes out there somewhere...
