While I agree, I had to laugh a little bit when it started playing the battle music when Chagum was doing EPIC GAMBLING.
legend of kozumi would be my op if was allowed to make one...
There is still two more bonus episodes of Nodame Finale to come over the next two weeks, Mine+Kiara and then one on the Rising Star Ochestra. So maybe could happen somewhere in there.
I enjoyed Cross Game a lot, I'm going to watch H2 and Touch I think now it's over. I've read both of them but I'm sure I read somewhere that Touch had more people watching it when it was showing than any other anime ever made. The support cast in H2 was even stronger than in Cross Game. It's basically Kou+Nakanishi on one team and Azuma on the other. The Senda look alike (or vice versa I suppose) is handled particularly well too.

Don't ever watch any shounen series. Ever. You will laugh yourself into physical distress. Yakitate Japan will give you cardiac arrest (and it's not even that good....). EPIC BREAD MAKING.
New thread title. Finally. Though I guess I shouldn't be surprised.....fanservice heavy romantic comedies will have their way. They always do.
Nope, 50 episodes even.
Now the anime? Go ahead. It's a load of crap. They make the main pathetic, strip out most of the story/tension, and turn it into a monster of the week series.

Well, obviously, we're not under any obligation to appreciate it. So it's all good. Live and let live.
The thread got shut down before, and it wasn't because of the OP or anyone's "awful taste." It was due to constant bitching, of which you were a major instigator. Your "awesome" thread OP that is so superior due to your being the final arbiter of good taste will be just as hated as any other.
Honestly, "you all have the most awful taste." You have got to be fucking trolling with that shit.
I have to agree with juice though that the OP shouldn't be some competition to highlight a specific genre you like.
Good thing that hasn't happened yet!

But Negima is actually good. Well...the manga is good.

I cannot stress this enough.

Your beloved "normals" love Twilight.
Rosario+Vampire is anime Twilight, except actually good.
So it's quite appropriate for normal people.
If you liked Love Hina, yes. If not, no.
Oh, and am I alone in considering Olivia Armstrong the hottest character in the show?
I wouldn't mind seeing it like it used to be, basically "Here's a chart of what's airing this season! Here's the stuff from the current season and anything else currently running that we usually talk about but also feel free to talk about anything else!"
But to get away from the hurfadurfing over the current OP (as legitimate as the complaints are!), in my ever growing ADD with regards to watching shows I have started on the 80's Space Adventure Cobra series and it is pretty neat! It's a bit pulpy and the animation has been fairly nice so far (which is a nice surprise considering its age and how it doesn't seem like it was something super popular, bless the booming Japanese economy of the 80's for that I suppose!).
The only subs available are quite rough but they're not impossible to understand, and the plot isn't exactly the deepest thing out there anyhow. For those not in the know this is basically about the adventures of a space pirate with a gun on his left arm and a cigar in his mouth almost 24/7 and it is as cool as it sounds.
I approve.
I leave for just three days and just look what you bastards have done to the place.
Man I've got so much catching up to do... managed to finish DtB season one so I can finally start season two.

At one point he lands on an abandoned planet to unlock some mysterious artifact, falls down a hole, loses his memory and suddenly the entire setting turns into a mob flick where he must make money with boxing. WITH HIS METALLIC ARM/GUN.
This I could get behind.
Ahahaha what. That sounds amazing.
Granted I'm not very far in the original series so it could change but the only really silly thing so far is that Cobra has been searching for the daughters of some guy that hid a treasure and he left the map in pieces....tattooed on his daughter's backs, three in total.
I don't even know how three pieces like that could even fit together
I fully support Spectrum's Negima OP.
The middle of Ryuusei no Gemini's a little weak, but give it time - it improves. Pretty much all of my complaints with it had been addressed by the time the season was over.
Because if so, I need to order new banners.
What? Since when? This is the most involved discussion I've gotten into in the anime thread and that's only over this terrible OP nonsense in the last two threads
And sure, I do think a lot of you have pretty awful taste, because I don't see the entertainment value in around 90% of all anime. But that's me! And quite frankly I didn't expect anyone to get mad about it, considering we are all weeaboos and we're all aware I am a pot calling all you kettles black
But my point remains that we are making the first thing that new people see some pictures of high school vampire lesbians or magical little girls in crazy dresses with big hammers, two things that will not attract or inform any new people about this Japanimation thing that we all like, beyond whatever stereotypes they have already constructed in their heads about it
And the only reason we are doing that is because we are apparently convinced that no one cares about the OP and no one outside of this little clique will ever enter this thread or even give it so much as a passing glance
That is the kind of behavior I am objecting against

Fixed for Negima.

I admire your unfailing optimism.
The actual harem portion of the book is basically a parody and intentionally ridiculous, and is even fairly well-done outside of the first couple of volumes, which is easily the worst of the series.

Yes, this man tells the truth.
I was talking about the shrimp wars. But now I'm contributing to the very thing I hate. How ironic.
Actually, this has all be discussed in the past (I've even said more or less the same thing). I give Negima more grief than it deserves, but that's out of a dislike of harem comedies and unending shounen fighting manga. Knee-jerk reaction, I'll admit.
Plus, the anime is just bad. Not just bad, awful really. So bad attention tends to go back to it even in light of the manga progressing towards something that isn't terribly awful.

I mean, parts of the early stuff is good(yay Evengeline!) but a lot of it is just really stupid. Like the fights are pretty damn good now but in the early Evangeline arc the first time two of the girls fight they basically just flick each other's foreheads. It's lame, and this is one of the few actiony parts that the anime actually adapts.
The Kyoto arc was solid in the manga, but I never bothered to watch the anime that far to see how it was adapted.

It's just definitely not for me in either form. Which is, of course, all right. We're not all going to like everything uniformly. Just look at Code Geass.
Though this is the first time I've heard the suck of the initial few chapters justified as self-parody, rather than "the guy just wrote another shitty harem manga, and realized the market was incredibly over-saturated, so did an about face". Was it originally planned from the start in the manga?
are you talking about negima or r+v
the author of negima wanted to do a BURNING SPIRIT battle manga but his editors pushed him into harem, so he drove the harem up to eleven for the first few arcs until it got popular, then went "gotcha fuckers" and did what he wanted to do with it
r+v has no such excuse
i don't care for either of them
From what I've heard, Akamatsu's publishers wanted a Love Hina clone, and he wanted to do an action series. So he toed the line for a while, and brought in what he wanted to as it took off and he got more creative license.
Ah, well, that's an important consideration. Some of my friends have probably told me this in the past, but I admit, the second they mentioned "Negima" I probably tuned them out and thought about Michiko to Hatchin or Moribito or something.
I've gotten to the point where I can't stand the BURNING PASSION and/or SPIRIT formula but that's probably due to overexposure in part (that, and I was VP of my University's anime club when we showed Gurren Lagaan which probably sucked out a lot of my lifeforce).
Honestly I hear the "This awful thing is supposed to be awful! It's clearly a parody!" defense with anime/manga in general oh so very much that unless I hear concrete evidence like an interview from the creator I just don't buy it 99% of the time.
