This topic will have SPOILERS for whatever I'm watching! Hopefully they will be clearly marked by show, though!

I am in one of my I SHOULD WATCH A BUNCH OF STUFF OMG moods, and when that coincides with one of my I SHOULD WRITE THINGS FOR B8 THAT NOBODY WILL READ moods, this topic is the result! I'll be watching all sorts of random crap, and by "all sorts" I mean "eww live action what even is that" Due to various technical and scheduling issues, I know this won't be updated every day, but hopefully I will be able to keep the topic from purging at least >_> I do want some help picking out stuff, though!

STUFF I KNOW I PLAN TO WATCH:

PONY- ...I have to admit that I am kind of getting into it. >_> I don't think I'm ever going to be a super hardcore brony or anything (if only because they scare me and I say this as a card-carrying member of every other terrible fanbase on the planet) but I am tired of being tsundere about it and have resolved to watch beyond the handful of episodes I've seen.

HIDAMARI SKETCH- Last time I did a topic like this, Hidamari was one of the recs that made it into my rotation, and while I only watched like three episodes, I loved it. It's earned a second chance to be sure.

KURAGEHIME- The gf and I are watching this. We seem to be changing shows every week when our attention span runs out or something needs to go back to the library, but for the moment we are on this.

THINGS I KINDA WANT BUT HELP ME PICK SPECIFIC ONES:

MAHJONG- In my brain, Saki, the thing with the pointy nose guy, and the one with the world leaders are all the same genre and competing over a single spot. Maybe throw Liar's Game in there since I've heard good things. Leaning Saki, but make some arguments.

PRECURE- The gifs in user saveus_maria's sigs are strangely alluring. There are like fifty precures, right? But I want that one. And I once got him to tell me which it is but I've already forgotten.

SOMETHING SHONEN- I am in a shonen-y mood. I DO have a library copy of Flame of Recca sitting in front of me, so maybe that?

MORE MOE SLICE OF LIFE CANCER THAT IS KILLING ANIME- Despite my tastes, I have somehow never gotten more than a couple eps into K-On or Lucky Star. I feel like this is somehow wrong. Also might give Nichijou another run. Or.....?

MAYBE SOMETHING LIVE ACTION- I dunno, we're supposed to have some decent shows out these days, right? I could be like one of those "normal people" I've heard so much about!

So uh yeah that was a lot of words. Also if you have random shows to push on me, please by all means make some pitches. >_> I tend to shy away from super dark stuff.

Akagi is what you're looking for. This is not debatable. Then watch Kaiji afterwards.

Hyakko.

Be the only other guy on here who watched it.

SOMETHING SHONEN- I am in a shonen-y mood. I DO have a library copy of Flame of Recca sitting in front of me, so maybe that?


Well, I'm sure you're fully aware of all the popular stuff, so....maybe Gash Bell? I really love that series, shame the butchered dub turned people off it. Law of Ueki is cool, too.

I think I watched a couple of eps of Hyakko after seeing it in somebody's (your?) sig. It was decent but I dunno if I wanna give it a spot over all the other stuff.

I'm AWARE of popular shonen, I just am not sure which I'd LIKE. Might investigate Law of Ueki, as I remember almost trying the manga a couple times.

Almost definitely.

Well, One Piece is the obvious choice but that's past 500 eps so far, I think.

Ueki is excellent, and like 51!

Gash Bell is....151, I think? It's lengthy, but completed. I'd probably say it's a little better, but I watched it over a much longer period of time (it wasn't over yet when I started watching).

I don't reeeeally want to start a hugely long one because I know I won't finish it. I have a hard enough time finishing little 13-ep things! >_>

on that note let's get started

I seem to have attracted more animoo people than pony people so despite me being in a pony mood we are kicking off with

Hidamari Sketch Ep. 1

I dislike resuming things halfway through when I don't remember in detail what has happened. All I remember really about this series:
-ART STUDENTS <3
-The genki is awesome.
-Super chill, happy atmosphere
-Addicting OP and ED.

And yeah, all those things still seem to be the case! It's...pretty hard to write about this show because NOTHING HAPPENED. But it's...nice. I feel like it might get hurt because this time I am coming into it with much higher expectations than last time, but it WAS still pretty fun.

I really like the art style, especially the way they do chibi-ish stuff. Miyako has pretty much the best faces of anybody ever =D Pretty good music direction as well.

If the cosplaying teacher lady was this awesome before, I don't think I noticed it. SO MANY PHOTOS. AND SHE SQUEAKS WHEN SHE WALKS.

I can already tell you that Hiro is going to be my least favorite. You have the DERPY GENKI, which is always a winner with me, the adorable if slightly cookie cutter heroine, and the glasses character, and....loldiets. Yomi was my least favorite in Azumanga, and unless there's a twist of some sort, Hiro's in grave danger of the same fate. But...I feel like none of them QUITE fit properly into the corresponding pigeonholes. I'll have to see how they develop and stuff.

Episode actually made me a bit sad that we had such a mild winter. There was barely even that much snow! No snow moai for me. :\ Those WERE pretty awesome though.

also screw it I desire to watch ponies before I go to bed

MLP Ep. 10- The Trouble With Tri- I mean Swarm of the Century

This was just quality the whole way through. I watched 9 earlier today and it was hit or miss, but this ep was just pretty great. Every single thing Pinkie did was gold (I think the trombone lick at the very end takes the cake, but the one-pony band and all the apparent non sequitur were also pretty great)

and I just got sidetraked by a single GIS. How are there THAT MANY Pinkie Pie/Deadpool fanarts ._.

Anyway yeah. I was surprised to see Zecora again, as this so far hasn't been the type of show to reuse characters like that. Not sure how I feel about that. Zecora doesn't do much for me either way.

Some of the little things just made me happy, like the RD/Fluttershy high five, Granny Smith's pitchfork, and Fluttershy FREAKING OUT when the first Parasprite showed up.

I am becoming a pony fanboy

what is happening

I don't even

Legend of Koizumi is alright if you're looking for pure comedy and aren't all that interested in actual Mahjong play. Heavy spoilers in Raka's image btw, but you've probably already seen that before looking at this so...

Someone else said Akagi into Kaiji which I can get behind.

MORE MOE SLICE OF LIFE CANCER THAT IS KILLING ANIME- Despite my tastes, I have somehow never gotten more than a couple eps into K-On or Lucky Star. I feel like this is somehow wrong. Also might give Nichijou another run. Or.....?

Lucky Star gets much better after the first few episodes. I still prefer Nichijou however. Depends on if you're feeling like anime references or not. No opinion on K-On

MAYBE SOMETHING LIVE ACTION- I dunno, we're supposed to have some decent shows out these days, right? I could be like one of those "normal people" I've heard so much about!

There's always Community if you aren't already a fan.

It was on hiatus for a time and just came back this past week. I'd tell you the premise but honestly it'd be quicker and more entertaining to just watch the first episode.

I guess next shot will be given to

Akagi Episode 1- The Genius Who Descended Into Darkness

MAN but that is a melodramatic intro. Really not sure how I feel about dat art style and dat nose, either.

I kinda like that it's taken so long to introduce the actual main character. Pretty nifty stuff.

Arg, I know JUST enough about mahjong to be frustrated that I don't understand more of what's going on. I only know some of the basic terms and a hand name or two, and can't recognize numbers of Man without labels :\

I also like that he's not being a Gary Stu and IMMEDIATELY WINNING EVERY SINGLE HAND five minutes after learning some of the rules.

why are the cops so determined to find a kid who drove off a cliff

This is making me want to go to a mahjong parlor. >_> Are there ones in Japan where you can just play for fun without gambling or yakuza? <_<

....Okay, that was pretty dang cool. It's pretty awesome that he managed to cheat like that. Gives the show a darker edge than I was expecting, and is a lot more believable than "HE COMES IN AND WINS EVERY HAND EVER BECAUSE GENIUS," which is what I was expecting. And yet, the amount of skill and testicular fortitude it takes to pull that is still very impressive.

I'm curious how this is going to go in the future though. Now that we're in the world of "mahjong with YAKUZA" instead of plain ol' "he plays mahjong" I have to wonder how it will avoid the Yugioh trap. Presumably this is gonna piss off the yakuza, and judging from the tone so far, this show is going to stay primarily on the shady side of the city. I'm wondering what's going to prevent this guy from just plain getting shot when he beats enough of the wrong people. He has the cop with him this time, I suppose, but will he be there every time?

Well alrighty then. I guess I'm okay with no more Zecora this season. I don't mind her being around but I won't really miss her either.

Hmmm...not a big episode skipper, but I might consider it.

Something that falls between shonen and slice of life would be Irresponsible Captain Tylor(my favorite anime of all time, just 26 episodes). It's basically a space opera where both the characters(and the viewer) wonder if the main character is a genius or an idiot. It's really hard to tell.

MLP Ep. 11- Winter Wrap Up

Oh hey IT’S SO TOPICAL too bad I didn’t get to this yesterday :\

Spike channeling Garfield with the blanket there o_o

Twilight is kinda adorably enthusiastic about this >_>

Also I have already seen the musical number for this ep. It’s one of the major reasons I gave this show a shot in the first place.

Spike is…slowly winning me over. He started out as the only character I was even close to disliking, but he’s catching up with the rest of the gang the last couple of eps. For the record, current ranking is RD/Pinkie > Twilight/Rarity/Fluttershy > AJ. I have trouble coming up with a definitive order for the middle trio, and Dash v. Pinkie depends on my mood and what episode I’m watching.

This song is going to be stuck in my head for like six months again isn’t it. I’m looking forward to some of the other ones, since I haven’t seen them. Rarity’s supposed to have a really good one, right?

Are any of the singers the same as the voice actors? That always gets bonus points with me.

Tomato juice for skunks! Good call.

No twilight nooooo don’t give in to the dark side :(

DIDN’T SHE LEARN LAST YEAR WHEN SHE WENT WEST

This is a fairly awesome montagey remixy arrangey music thing.

Solid ep. Not incredibly funny but a nice, simple feel good ep, which is exactly what I wanted.

Smile Precure Ep 1

Oh god it is the opening of EVERY SCHOOLGIRL ANIME EV- oh she didn’t hit anybody. Trope subverted, bonus poin-OH GOD FLYING BOOK WHAT IS THAT

I am ALL OVER this animation style but I guess I already knew that from user saveus_maria’s sigs.

XD Candy is terrified.

I ALREADY love this main character derpchick. And I ALREADY forgot her name. I have enough trouble with names when I am not watching like ten shows at the same time :\

Aw, it’s not canbalance de dance or whatever? Oh well.

Art chick, cooking chick, mommy chick, and ARCHERY chick? I am going to like this cast probably.

why do I have such affinity with little girl shows sometimes it bothers me :\

attractive teacher is attractive

also, five minutes in and main character chick is ALREADY probably taking the “best faces” title from Miyako.

Akane is already the best. Shut up green and blue, that intro was going awesome places.

She is FROM OSAKA. Thanks to Azumanga, that is a fandom button for me.

OH LORD YELLOW IS EVEN TINIER AND MORE ADORABLE THAN THE SIG GIFS LED ME TO BELIEVE

SUPER EARLY POWER RANKINGS Akane > Mizuki > Yellow >> Green > Blue. Unless they depart wildly from the tropes they are hitting, I am not sure that ranking is actually that likely to change much.

CANDY DAI YO HORA derp

There is SO MUCH ENERGY in this show good lord this is not good “getting ready for a nap” material :\

That might be the most overly adorable eyecatch ever

Oh no it’s a bad end stop tripping so many loser flaaaaaags

I am getting SO MUCH diabetes from this. It’s stretching even MY tolerance and that is quite a feat. o_o At least it frequently breaks things up with DERP.

DEAR LORD THIS SHOW I DON’T EVEN

HAPPY SHOWER THE BEST

SPIRIT SPIRIT SPIRIT

I DON’T EVEN KNOW

YEAY YEAY YEAY

WHY DO I FEEL LIKE THIS ED WAS DONE IN MMD

10/10 WAS OKAY

ARE THE OTHER SERIES THIS SUGAR-INDUCED

OH MAN THE PREVIEW SHOWED AKANE AS A PRECURE SPOILERS GOD

Not all of the PreCure series are THIS good. We're not that far into Smile yet and I'd already say it has potential to be the BEST one, and will very likely end up in my top 3 regardless of whether or not it maintains the high quality the first 6-7 episodes have had.

And yeah the first ep is amazing and really gives you a feel for the series (insane levels of derp, ridiculous faces, incompetent little girl superheroes for main characters, power of FRIENDSHIP will destroy all evil)

also I love the main badguy summoning phrases in this series

THE WORST FUTURE IMAGINABLE

I am in a WATCHING STUFF mood

I am also in a TAKING A NAP IMMEDIATELY AFTERWARDS MOOD and a NOT VERY ADVENTUROUS mood

Hidamari Sketch Ep. 2

LOVELY CHOCOLAT I had forgotten D:

MIYA SINGS :D

IN HER SLEEP <3 I used to do that

The ONE thing I remember as a thing is “which character does everybody want to d-“ “DAAAA!” Miyako seriously top tier

Yoshinoya-sensei in a suit <3

With a red swimsuit under it? O_o

Herb….cookies? Herb ice cream?

Alright I don’t usually go for the “sensitive about weight” bit but it makes for pretty good Miyako interactions.

OH YEAH I REMEMBER THE WHOLE “left unfinished for poor kids” BIT :D It’s so cute and stuff.

MIYA IS THE MOST A SYMBOL OF SUMMER WHO IS GOING TO GET CANDY

HNNGGGG yukata

It occurred to me earlier today

I am pretty sure Miyako is basically Punny

She is poor and derpy and lovable and likes food

I keep getting slashy vibes from Hiro and Sae and I am not sure why o_o

XFD Miya barging into Yuno’s bath for SNOW CONES

And she SHOWS UP WITH A BOWL

I’m looking forward to being done with the episodes I’ve already seen. I’m enjoying these and don’t remember them TOO well but there’s still something about seeing something for the first time, y’know? Might make commentary a bit easier, too.

I still love this ED, I think for the aesthetics as much as anything. Feels like it should be the opening of some super weeaboo RPG or something. I would play that RPG.

Considering picking Nichijou back up, yeah. I gave it a shot the last time I did one of these topics because I'm a hyadain fanboy, and I did enjoy it. Dunno if I liked it enough for it to wrestle time away from some of the stuff in this round, though.

yeah it created a bit of confusion since it started airing literally right after Nichijou ended and it had the word Nichijou in the title (EDIT: actually there might have been a season in between, I can't remember exactly now) but they are pretty different.

Daily Lives is basically about the raddest dudes who go to an all-boys high school and their awesome adventures that you would expect normal Japanese kids to go on; constantly pulling pranks, taking shots at each other, making references to anime and video game pop culture, etc. then, there's the girls in the show which are literally insanely hilarious. instead of being portrayed like girls normally are in anime, every female character is basically an awful human being and a parody of how ridiculous anime tropes for females are. . . the best part being it is pulled off so well they are all amazingly entertaining, as well as the main male cast. all in all it's a pretty well executed and funny show, especially if you're into slice of life stuff that doesn't really have a plot but is just jokes and fun characters being fun.

MAHJONG- In my brain, Saki, the thing with the pointy nose guy, and the one with the world leaders are all the same genre and competing over a single spot. Maybe throw Liar's Game in there since I've heard good things. Leaning Saki, but make some arguments.


Akagi > saki

Koizumi probably good but I havent touched it besides random pictures of stuff

Saki has tacos, and Koizumi has GLOBAL MAHJONG POLITICAL CRISES.

Saki also has lesbians.

AWWWW YEAH, Smile Precure.

Smile is by far the most saccharine of the Precures so far (disclaimer I haven't seen YES, HEARTCATCH, or 5 PRECURE) and its real advantage is that Candy is one of the best Fairy Guides in the whole set.

That said, as a major fan of Akane, you'll likely love Cure Black from the original.

Akane is my favorite too (Gotta love Cure Sunny) she sets herself on fire and doesnt afraid of anything.
