Haruhi isn't even ostensibly the main character. It's Kyon's show through and through.
Well, Haruhi is the main character in that she's the main "magical girlfriend" of the "harem".

Not all of it. There are josei shows to save us from all the dreck. :<
Errr... the only thing that comes to mind is Princess Jellyfish, and that was fairly average and pandery in a different direction.
 
Heartcatch Precure 14-16

It's nice that the desert people are finally getting involved, but it's pretty damn frustrating when a single attack that took little effort is actually effective, yet Kumojacky STILL retreats. These people could kill the Precure in an instant if they ever decided to stop fuckin relying on mentally disturbed children.

I have to admit I'm not familiar with the lingo. What's a "magical girlfriend"?

I'm confused since Yuki knows magic the most.

VHS nostalgia.

That was incredibly awkward, hahaha. The comments during the film were great.

I might enjoy this.
The cat talking, bwahaha.

I meant stuff like Honey & Clover, Nodame Cantabile, and the upcoming Kids On the Slope. I haven't watched Princess Jellyfish.
this needs to be corrected

Steins;Gate 11



As for the story, finally some tension that I hope can carry me forward rather than giving a whole 15 minutes of rest after only 20 seconds of heart rushing pacing.

=============


My watching priorities have been skewed. I know what I much watch next today!

I'm glad someone else is watching it (I just finished it over the weekend). Don't worry, things will heat up. To the point that you'll actually miss those fairly lighthearted days.

yes. S1 is fun, S2...other than Endless Eight is ok. The movie is excellent.

Yeah, there's a few episodes that have totally forced reasons for the desert people to pull back at the last moment, but it gets a lot better in the second half.

A magical being or deity or whatever that serves as the main love interest for the male protagonist. Ah! My Goddess and Kanokon are examples.

Yeah. Doesn't have to be magical either, since sometimes they are just aliens like Ichika from AnoNatsu.

Well, it's not like the market is being flooded with those types of shows either. :(

Seeing ReiClone #123453434 getting put down like that warms the very depths of my heart.
Man, such a hater. lol

The problem is, there's nothing to build up to or any payoff. It's just Haruhi is a total bitch: the anime. oh, there's a useless moeblob and dumb rei clone, too! And wannabe smartass, Kyon!


Kyon is one of the greatest narrating protagonist of all time. All moeblobs are useless. Yuki is a smart Rei clone.

I can think of several narrators better than Kyon. Yuki is a bad excuse for a character no matter which way you look at it.

Yuki is the exposition machine in any science fiction show. The "problem" is that all the other characters, except maybe Koizumi, are kind of worthless, so she ends up being the best character of the bunch.

I'd be happy with Koizumi being the winning girlfriend, but that'll definitely never happen.

This scene tugged me more... but that's mainly because how can you reject the offer of a free meal?
Because the girl who tried to murder you is there!)
