Zero no Tsukaima is only good because of the massive wave of suprisingly good fanfiction that was spawned on SB.

:P

I watched it and it was too ecchi for my tastes...

So anyways, Claymore is awesome.

The SpaceBattles forums.

Pretty large crowd of fanfic authors out there.

Also, IronyOwl, are you talking about me?

I mean, Saito's the biggest unabashed perv and Louise is like the worst tsundere in the history of tsunderes.

Whenever there's some character development, it goes down the drain for more immature perv jokes and "BAKA!" puns.

This picture summarizes my thoughts about the series quite well. Warning - tl;dr inbound.

Oh no, not that. I honestly didn't know there was anything to the series other than Louise abusing Saito.

I'm talking about the badly done Queen's Blade/DBZ/Berserk hybrid.

Actually, no, I mean actual fanfiction. Besides, I'm not into hentai :P

I mean there are all these fics floating about on the web where someone aside from Dumbass Mc Panty-fondler is summoned by the Terrible Pinkette. I mean, there's one where Alex Mercer from Prototype was summoned, and it is seventeen billion flavors of beautifully awesomeness. The whole trend stems from the idea that the ZnT-verse can be awesome in the right writer's hands, and with the right unfortunate slob to be summoned by the petite pinkette.

I guess the trend was started by a fic called Hill of Swords where Louise gets a post-game-end Shirou (forget which route) from F/SN. Very well written and shit.

I digress, I am getting OT so I have a question for all of y'all. There was this anime JoshuaFH mentioned a while back. I looked into it, found it interesting but then I forgot it. It's supposed to be about this high school guy who's all scary looking only because he 'looks' mean and then there's this teeny-weeny little girl whose nickname has something to do with a tiger or something. It's supposed to be slice-of-life and romantic and shit, and considering all the heavy shit I just read/watched, I think I need a break.

Would anyone care to help this poor nooblet?

OH man, did I mention something like that? I'm straining this brain of mine, trying to remember.

Mean looking guy, girl with a nickname that has something to do with a tiger... I'm not sure!

There's the Sakura Wars anime, based off the videogames, but in that scenario it's the man whose name is based off Tiger (Taiga) and all the women are the hyper competent ones. Not necessarily mean, though Charon is sort of a bitch. Very lighthearted and fun show, nonetheless.

I'll devote the resources of my tired brain to try to remember this for you.

In the meantime, there are other relaxing animes you could enjoy. I trust that you've seen Azumanga Daioh? There's also it's "On Moe steroids" sister show, Lucky Star. His and Her Circumstances is entertaining, whimsical, and fun to watch, even if you're pissed out of your gourd with how incomplete it is by the end of it all.

I'll consult my long list of animes I've watched to try to remember more things for you.

There we go!

Thanks, Taz, although apologies to Josh for making his tired brain work for nothing :P

EDIT: I'll certainly look into those series as well, JoshuaFH!

considering all the heavy shit I just read/watched, I think I need a break.

I watched and old 90's anime called "All Purpose Cultural Cat Girl Nuku Nuku" the other day, coz the weird title interested me. It was actually pretty entertaining. I watched the 12 part TV version, there's an older OVA i haven't seen which has good reviews too, and a more recent retconned OVA (nuku nuku dash) that got bad reviews. They took out the bit about her being a catgirl but kept "catgirl" in the title. Which is really stupid.

Mentioned it because i searched and it's never been mentioned here before. I think it's a pretty funny / lighthearted series, as long as you can cope with the fact that every character (bar one) is (by design) incredibly stupid and silly anime cliches taken to the logical extreme (fully lampshaded and acknowledged though, lots of 4th wall breaking). they've got a "book girl" who makes Yuki Nagato look like a light-weight. This is a truly hardcore bookgirl!

has lots of jokes subverting old mecha and mahou shoujo series tropes. Though there was one really annoying character I would shoot if I could ;) Nuku Nuku looks human but has a cat's brain, so they even subvert the catgirl concept ;) She does has retractable mecha nekomimi though

Something a little different from the huge crop of slice of life / romance / harem comedies you get today.

Toradora!
This was kind of a neat show. It took the whole 'tsundere' thing and presented it as an actual psychological problem or social disability, or whatever you want to call it. It was a nice change from everybody thinking that being unable to express affection except through violence was normal, though.

I kind of just binge read Watanagashi-hen right now.  I needed a manga fix after all this VN playing.
Spoiler: most notably, Keiichi can't get a break *spoilers obviously* (click to show/hide)
It actually made me kind of sad at the end.
Also, Terminator Ooishi is the best thing ever.  Just saying.

Found a anime retelling of the Count of Monte Cristo, which is awesome since I had to read it for school.
