So for maybe the past two seasons I've been keeping up with stuff as it airs from Japan. Right now I'm wathcing Mawaru Penguindrum, Mirai Nikki, Shinryaku Ika Musume, Ben-to, and have seen Horizon in the Middle of Nowhere too.

I have slowly realized I like slice-of-life comedy anime. Which my girlfriend Liz informs me is maybe the most embarassing genre of anime to like. Some of my favorites of the last few seasons are Mitsudomoe and Nichijou, which are both fucking hilarious. I also really loved Madoka while it was airing.

To tell the truth though I'm pretty ill-informed of the big anime: One Piece, Bleach, Naruto. Constant exposure to the fanbase has kind of left me with a bad taste in my mouth regarding them. Which speaks nothing to how good they themselves may be. Things get popular and then get terrible fans, that's always the case.

tl;dr

Talk about some goddamn animes you like/are watching at present.

Apocalypse Zero was an awesome gore fest.
Think that was the only time I've ever seen death by snoo snoo actually happen.
Also, anyone seen Ben-To, from what I've read, it's about cheapskate street fighters.

EDIT:
Fuck, didn't notice the second page, Debu, is it good?

I remembered when I first found out about Nichijou, it was either a gif of a dude getting hit by a missile or that one girl shooting goat dude.
I said I'm totally gonna watch this. Other than the opening, never did.

I hadn't really watched much "slice-of-life" comedies aside from Nichijou. I enjoyed the surreal bits of humor. Things varied from mild humor that's just remarking on things everyone encounters to absolute absurdist humor.

I liked it.

Don't expect a very noticeable plot, though.

If you've watched a lot of other slice-of-life stuff like... uh, I guess Lucky Star, I don't know how it would compare to those shows. I liked it on its own quite a bit, but I don't watch a shit ton of anime. Or I hadn't when I watched Nichijou. There's probably some jaded sorts who would denounce it as little more than repetition of some other thing they watched.

Finally! Someone else who reads Otokojuku! I haven't read it in a couple months, and I still need to watch the 80s anime series, but I've been liking it a lot from what I've read!
Yea Otojuku is something I've wanted to get into Edajima Heihachi is totally awesome, I love that he can grab hold of a space shuttle. Is there a good place to find the anime subtitled or is the manga the way to go?

Get Backers was an awesome series whose anime ended so fucking abruptly.

Hellsing Ultimate is as badass as they get.

Gate Keepers 21, Gad Guard, Read or Die, and Betterman were my favorites from Anime Unleashed. Hopefully Marvel anime will be the start of G4 doing something like that again.

From what I can think of, list of things I've planned on seeing, anyone seen any that can give info?
Steins Gate
Eden of the East
Princess Resurrection
Zetsubou Sensei
Soredemo Machi wa Mawatteiru
Working!!
Hyakko
Sket Dance

KD, what was your favorite scene from Mitsudomoe?

Well, Futaba was definitely my favorite sister.

But I think one of my favorite bits was either Hitoha drowning (I think that was in the second series), or Futaba thinking Shinya has a panty obsession and his subsequent harassment the remainder of the episode.

It's kinda hard for me to choose.
Futaba is an adorable fucking monster while Hitoha has that death stare and air of coolness.

I decided to finish up the series today, saw the episode they didn't show in the first season and the second half of the final episode.
Sugisakis mother is a freak, I don't know how I forgot that...

Haha, oh man, Sugisaki going to the cheap sushi joint was pretty priceless too. And Yabecchi's super ronery Christmases.

Mitsudomoe had the highest ratio of christmas episodes to total episodes out of anything I've ever seen.

I loved that one where the triplets dad beat the shit out of him for being an idiot and then there was that snot scene in one of the first episodes.
