If it's pandering crap, the gender of the director doesn't matter. I will try to have an open mind when watching it, though I have a feeling this comic will be relevant.
After watching the first episode just then, I don't think your assumptions will be accurate at all. The sexy stuff is pretty damn classy in terms of execution tbh.:p it's not trashy or in-your-face like say panty and stocking is for example.

I take offense to that. Panty and Stocking is pure class.

Nearly done with this arc... but OMG

So I finally finished Season 1 of Kore wa Zombie Desu ka? and the OVA. I love the characters and the music in it, but
is it really necessary for every character to fall for Ayumu?
I get that it happens a lot in anime, but it's annoying.

I'll watch the first episode of S2 to see if I like it and my friend wants to watch Medaka Box with him so... let's hope for the best.
 
Inu x Boku SS 3 - Yes, this is shojo, isn't it... but yeah, good episode as usual.


Bodacious Space Pirates 13 - After a while, you start running out of words of praise for something... it's hard to rephrase "this series is so great" in a new way every time. But yes, this series is great, and this episode was good. This series so far has generally been better in space than on the planet, so that this episode is planetbound was a somewhat bad sign, but it's one of the better on-the-surface episodes, and was entertaining while also progressing the plot forwards.

I do think that
both princesses are now attending Marika's school
is anime being anime (ie, it's stupid and predictable), but apart from that, this was a solid episode. It was nice seeing the princesses visit Marika and her mother for dinner, good stuff. :)


Asuka is better than Rei anyway.

Well certainly, but considering how horrible a character Rei is, that's not saying too much...
Asuka is one of the best Eva characters though, regardless.

It's that Saki nopan style getting fans' imaginations revving.
Actually, no, in that case, FNC there wears skimpy underwear that wouldn't be seen in that shot, but she does wear some. The underwear fits the gun type you see, so for whatever reason the FNC wears that.

The theme of having shots that should show underwear but don't, with characters at other times revealed to be wearing underwear, is something that's out there though. It's a somewhat odd one, done to avoid the more fanservicey pantyshot I guess, but it is out there. Saki, of course, is somewhat different, its nopan is quite consistent and applies to everyone in the franchise too, apparently.

Why is everyone watching Sailor Moon?

Hito got some people to watch it, seeing their posts on it gets others to watch it, etc...

Haruhi S1 loses all sense of dramatic flow by watching it chronologically, even if the resolution is as cliché as it could get.

I agree, airing order or nothing.

Overall I thought S1 was okay, but not as great as a lot of people did (S1 was quite popular when it first aired, remember), but yeah, it's definitely better in the airing order, the drama just doesn't work at all otherwise.

Kyon is a fantastic narrator and a pretty good main character.

Neither of these things is at all true. Kyon's a pretty poor character, and certainly not above average as a narrator either.

I daww'd a bit. This episode seemed animated differently than the others. Maybe I'm just imagining things.

Vanilla is a total lolicon.

Is it still crossdressing if you change bodies?

Also, :(

Best episode of the show.

You're not. Kaiba isn't as diverse in animation styles as Kemonozume was, but Yuasa still gives other episode directors a fair amount of freedom. Just wait until you see the next episode.

Is the ending so disappointing that it takes away from the show as a whole or is it just that the quality steadily drops after episode 6?

The ending gets a little out of hand, but it's not too bad and certainly doesn't retroactively ruin the show. Personally, I didn't feel there were quality issues until midway through episode 11.

The latter, it's honestly impossible for the ending to detract from the quality of the rest of the series. Since most of it's best moments are episodic.

Rock Lee's Springtime of Youth 1

It's pretty meh. The first half was terrible and the second half was a bit better but not by much. I could maybe see these working as short five minute segments at most. As it stands, they're way too unfunny and protracted to hold my interest for long.
