You still haven't watched Haruhi?!

[=BK=]

No, I've been on my Slayers watch-through since I finished Mirai Nikki.

[gunnar hendershow]

Okay we're going to have to do Haruhi because that's canon.

[Mick]

School Days is a really bad idea; it's really only popular because of the content of the visual novel (it's hentai ) and different possible endings.

As for Haruhi, I know eight episodes we can watch

[gunnar hendershow]

Endless fun will be had!

[Ruki]

I was thinking the SAME thing.

Get it? Same. Because all 8 episodes are exactly the fucking same thing why the fuck did they think that was a good idea oh my fucking god they are retarded.

[gunnar hendershow]

But there are subtle differences!

[Ruki]

Two episodes...MAYBE three. But not 8!

[=BK=]

So right now it's looking like Durarara followed by Mysterious Girlfriend X followed by Nichijou followed by Haruhi followed by Elfen Lied. This is a very rough draft as I've only bothered looking for one of these on any of the Synctube acceptable sites at the moment. Would anyone be opposed to Dragon Ball? Ive seen Z a thousand times over but the same can't be said about just Dragon Ball.

On to 'Slayers Next' now. This is all new to me since the Funimation block only ran the 26 episodes of Slayers and nothing after.

[=BK=]

Ok the fact I noticed the thing that keeps Lina's cape on went from mostly a gold bead chain to pretty much one solid gold piece shows I pay waay too much attention to this.

I'm pretty sure based on the most recent episode Psycho-Pass is headed for a totally awesome finish.

Also.

I love the tongue-in-cheek reference of 20th century sci-fi authors and especially Phillip K. Dick. I laughed a little at the lack of mention for

The Minority Report, which clearly inspired this show more than anything else.

Psycho-Pass is awesome but absolutely bat shit insane - it can be pretty macabre with its animation style too, brilliant show though - stand out of the season for me, or at least the one that has surprised me the most.

The Slayers TRY theme doesn't live up to the previous two.

While we're on this, what is everyone's favorite anime intro or outro?

Intro... Darker Than Black's first.

And outro, Death Note's second. The full song is even better.

Also a fan of the Black Lagoon intro and the GITS:SAC intro/exits.

Yeah, while Robotics;Notes has consistently disappointed Psycho-Pass has consistently surprised.

[Ruki]

A dissapointment? I guess I can get behind that for Robotics; Note. Not saying it is bad, I was just expecting more.

Will be watching the new episode later today.

[gunnar hendershow]

That is how I feel. It's fine enough as a show, but everytime I think the show is going to hit its stride it just stalls out.

Is it going to be about a world-ending conspiracy or is it just going to be about building robots?

[Ruki]

What if the entire show is just one big ol' troll? Like...they hint at crazy stuff...but never follow through?!
