I didn't even hear about that, much less watch it.

Best little sister, certainly better than Kirino.
 
Is Eva 3 actually any good? I accidentally spoiled quite a bit of it a long time ago (not that I really care since I don't actually know what any of it looks like) and it doesn't appeal to me in any way. It all seems absolutely ridiculous, frankly.

Anyone watching the second season of Miss Monochrome? There's an Initial D parody. :lol:

You guys oughta be watching Shokugeki no Soma instead!

What luck, the newest episode rolls in the next handful of hours.
 
So I finished Plastic Memories today. It was a pleasant show and the ending was alright.
The issue with it though is that makers played it safe. PM could have really gone in with the tearjerkers and the story but it just didn't happen.

So in the last few seconds of the last episode, a feminine figure walks in and is announced to be Tsukasa's new partner. Judging by his reactions it couldn't be Isla but with a new OS. However, from the looks of the feet and hand it could be. I dunno...

Guess I'm starting Grisaia no Rakuen this weekend.

Quoting Rob Dyke: Just because you state something obvious, doesn't mean you're a philosopher.

I can give you a nice lecture on why that made sense, but who wants to hear a boring lecture, albeit something so obvious?
 
Maybe it was my mistake to use the word "shortly", because that certainly is one of the fastest ways to find yourself a waifu.

And also one of the fastest way to dump one.


I remember when I was strung up with Mio... in my early days. Didn't take long to forget about her and move onto Azusa.... but then everyone loved Azusa so it took even less time to close the door on that one!

Yui is one of the worst character tropes I've ever witnessed in anime. The funny thing is that Noda Megumi from Nodame Cantabile is a very similar character in that they're both care-free, barely think about their future, but love playing music. What's great about Nodame Character on the other hand is that most of the cast is thoroughly developed, there's less pointless meandering about trivial things, and there's romance and real music.

Speaking of Nodame, I finished the first season and have already worked through the halfway mark on the second. Nodame Cantabile stays interesting with constant relationship development, humourous and doesn't try too hard to be outstandingly kakkoii. For someone who doesn't watch a lot of dramas, I think it at the very least has enough of the fundamentals grounded to create a enjoyable story.

By comparison, Hibike Euphonium had only a slice of its plot displayed in the 13-episode count. K-ON goes no where significant, even though they had 48 episodes and a movie to make something happen.

What about Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso? It had 22 episodes to tell its story and it did. Even though music was the theme, the two objectives of the show was about the girl finding a way into his man's life and about a boy learning to pick himself up again. In Nodame Cantabile, similar goals happen, but instead of just toughening up, Nodame spends a lot more time reveling about music careers and how much work is needed to be a top-level musician.

Both Shigatsu and Nodame (S1) were very good shows. Shigatsu spends more time crying, whereas Nodame spends more time on comedy. Watch both if you like drama, romance, and classical music.




To summarize everything I just said if that was too long for you: don't watch K-ON... or Hibike...

Well, fine- watch Hibike if you like moe eye-candy.

I had my waifu before I even started watching anime. :lol: Got shown a Chuubiyou clip from @UrieHusky and noticed a chick standing for like three seconds, quite enjoying her figure and presence. Demanded the name and got hooked ever since.

Ruiko is slowly climbing up the ranks, though, same with Hitagi.
