One? All of them do. As (was it the reporter girl?) detailed early on, they just have to groom him up and wait for him to turn sixteen. :lol

He's talking the actual threesome, IIRC it was scribbled by her journal reading her thoughts


Your point is great in the other context though.

Rewatching Gurren Lagann.

Watched it dubbed first time around for some reason. Watching it Japanese now.

It hurts watching Kamina. He's such a badass.

I like it. If the dialogue weren't so wonderfully frivolous (BRO BADASS AAARGH MANLY COMBINING THE SSSUUURRRFAAACE), it would probably get to me.

Simon sounds like a kid. Kamina sounds unhinged in a dopey yet inspiring way. I think Japanese is unquestionably the way to go, though.

I see what you mean then, that is a completely different order from mine for sure... apart from how you can't really rank one you haven't watched (I would say the same for ones I haven't seen), I don't know if we agree on anything, order-wise. :)

I agree it's nothing special itself.

... Huh, what? If it's your favorite show of the season, then what do you mean by this?

I know, how dare someone not share the same taste as me.

Woah, woah, woah, I merely rearranged your list in the order I would rank those particular shows, that's not my list, my list wouldn't have Star Driver, Panty and Stocking, Samurai Girls, The World God Only Knows or MM! on it. That said, Squid Girl might still be on the top, I don't mean to imply that it's a great show merely that everything this season is pretty poor. If I were to make a ranking now I'd do it as so:

Squid Girl - admittedly nothing special but I think it is what it is, I don't foresee the formula being changed any nor is the show still really building anything resembling a plot so I think it's safe to say that the past episodes are fair representations of future episodes.

Soredemo Machi wa Mawatteiru - Not saying this is great just that it comes in second in this abysmal season,seems like it's still building it's core cast so I actually still have a little hope for it but we'll see, it may suck.

Toaru Majutsu no Index II - I fully admit that the suck to good ratio on this show will probably heavily lean towards the suck, regardless I will watch it because there's a few things I know are coming up I want to see animated.

Kuragehime - We got one episode, it's placement here is to both make my list an even four and also represents the hope I have that it will be decent.

That's how crappy I think this season is, where a children's show like Squid Girl that I think is nothing special is currently the best show actually on, in my opinion of course.

In all reality, OreImo might be consistently more enjoyable than Index and deserve a place on my list but I have absolutely no real desire to watch that pandering bullshit. Index is pandering bullshit as well but at least it has some cool fights every once in a while and they're not related or making romantic drama with middle schoolers, God damnit. Well, at least it's not a middle schooler related to the main character.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Anyways, finished up all of Ryoko's Case Files tonight, kinda frustrating to watch it steadily decline into nonsense each episode. The last episode felt like something High School of the Dead would have done but with adults instead and less tits. Ryoko stayed cool up until the last episode where it just got a little too corny.
Sorry, standing on that tank like that was too absurd.

Bravery or stupidity, I can't tell which one.

Oh, right, shamelessness.

Definitely the latter. I mean if it was something AWESOME there'd be room for a bro-five, followed by an inverted-secret-handshake and swapping of pass-codes.

But for that show, all I can muster up is disdain.

At least it wasn't the real twincest show.

I'll be honest Lain's animation felt shoddy to me. Except toward the end with that thing with the tentacles.

Okay which of you fuckers is the one watching Ore no Imouto in Personal Finance class?

Creepy.

Better than watching Bible Black in Epistemology class. Best part is the dude was sitting in front of a mirror so we all saw it but no one said anything.

Never heard of it. Gaiden was the prequel and Shin was the sequel right?

Yeah tentacles > everything.

But the terribad plot was the best part. Like EVA but with sex and rape.

Bible Black is cool and all, but I've always liked Discipline more. In a way I even think it was better even if it never got the same success as Bible Black. Nonsensical plot for nonsensical plot, the one with the sex hungry girl that is able to fuck up her evil kidnappers wins for me.

Filler though it may be, it had a surprisingly good execution.

I'm less pleased that Chapter 7 is again taking up a whole episode by itself. I've given up trying to predict what chapters will go where this season. I just hope that that last bit of art there at the end with Haqua in it isn't just some cruel tease.

I'm still alive, apparently.

Just caught the episode. Maybe it's because it was about a broken game, but I actually found it to be hilarious.

Actually, I felt exactly like the guy when I was playing through Fallout New Vegas. :p

I thought it was pretty funny as well. Especially how they mocked generic romance shows/games with the little montages+ending.

I prefer aniki to bro - and given that the interaction between Kamina and Simon is an enormous part of why I love the show, that works in the Japanese version's favour.
