Most of the time I can predict exact words each character will say. In japanese.

See also: tsunderes.

B-baka! I-it's not like I do it for you or anything.

[Neonivek]

I remember one harem anime where EVERYONE beat the main character up

But only one of the females was Tsundere. The rest just kept getting excuses to beat him up.

Or rather here is the formula
1) One character beat him up because she secretly had a crush on him
2) One character beat him up because she kept getting reasons to, he keeps ending up doing someone inappropriate.
3) One character beats him up by accident and unknowingly
4) One character beats him up lovingly

I bet you can predict this anime just by that description

Honestly though the one anime I actually dislike for the "Love/hate" sort of deal is Familiar Zero mostly because it exits "Fun pain for the protagonist" into "Full on unrelenting child abuse that we are expected to find funny". It is the only anime to actually get me to stop watching out of disgust.

By the way, thanks for mentioning Sora no Woto, Reelya. I needed something short to watch. 

Hey that makes me feel happy that someone enjoyed watching my recommendation my work here is done.

One thing just occurred to me about that show vis a vis the fan-service discussion. There was exactly 1 short fan-service-heavy ecchi scene towards the end of Sora no Woto which felt out of place, but it involved a character who was not a regular cast member.

I can really see some lines being drawn in the production team on that show with a producer saying "you gotta get some boobs in the plot!" but the art and writing team saying "not with our characters, you don't!" so they compromised and had some random girl's boobs pop out (no nipples though).

A shame really and it indicates how prevalent this stuff is, even if everything else in a show is the complete opposite.

[Neonivek]

Reelya why does that make me feel like an anime about the making of Sora no Woto would be more interesting then the actual anime?

[Reelya]

Did you like Haibane Renmei or Aria? Then you'd like Sora no Woto.

The making-of-anime anime would probably be Bakuman when it gets up to that point.

That would be what you call a masochism fetish anime.

Odd compared that the one I am refering to is Love Hina

The LNs of the series were worth reading to a certain degree, IMO, if only because they didn't turn into pure fanservice, and the relationships were depicted as being exactly as screwed up as they were. Between the male lead nearly letting the talking sword convince him to rape the female lead while she was sleeping, the female lead repeatedly horsewhipping the male lead (once nearly to the brink of killing him, with S&M overtones), and the female lead's mother being an unsympathetic, abusive bitch (as part of the explanations for her emotional issues) it was something of a more serious take on the 'harem + tsundere' genre without getting into School Days territory. Still not good, mind you, but screwed up in a way that was at least mildly interesting.

[Neonivek]

That actually does sound better.

My problem with Familiar Zero wasn't so much that there was child abuse... but that we are expected to find it hillarious.

Though yeah still not good >_<

Finished reading Gunsliger Girl...personally found the end quite nice & satisfying after all the deaths, regrets & despair.

Also This, something nice: TYPE-MOON Festival Event OP Movie:

Nice video...awesome BGM/OST. Been that long huh...

[GreatJustice]

Soukou no Strain's fanservice is mostly limited to one episode, and it's fairly short, too.

However, it featured some of the most gratuitous and low quality CGI I've ever seen, and some of the character design is a bit... off.

I finished Wanko and Yukie's route in Majikoi.  Wanko's was okay.  Yukie's has a neat arc and ends afterwards quick enough not to bother me but it wasn't really that good compared to Wanko's.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

This is really the saddest scene I have seen so far.  I don't even want to re-read it.  This is how the Wanko route climaxes, with a Wanko that can't accomplish her dream.  The month afterward is just a mellow depression where you help Wanko find something new and it's really the best stuff I've read so far even if slightly disappointing afterwards.  It's just nice to have some pretty hardcore drama suddenly.


SHOCK


This scene was weird.  I didn't get any "bad ends" in Wanko's route I should do every choice later probably.  I did get like three bad ends so far doing other things after all.


I was hoping Mr. Shakadou would become the next antagonist of the Wanko route but sadly the game just kind of ends and I wasn't happy with that.  Don't freakin' tease me.  At least we get more glorious Shakadou in the Yukie route and he DOES THINGS.


Completing the game once gives you the three male members of the nakama group.  Clearing the game twice gave me just Chika as far as I could see.



Anyway onto Yukie route:


K-ON


Kyon D:


Monster Hunter


Hey Ageha why weren't you in Wanko's route AT ALL you seem like a big character since you're a Big Four.

The King of Soldier's arc is probably the best part of Yukie's route.  Basically about 4 hours of non-stop action and also Lelouch fighting himself as a robot.  That's all that matters.

Oh and the Prime Minister is voiced by WAKAMOTO which is pretty great.

Otherwise yeah Yukie is probably the second strongest person in our group behind Momoyo.  She's good enough to be a Big Four anyway.


There he is.  :3

A lot of characters get names but their titles are still generic.  Like the "Opposing Party Member" is clearly named Soga but they never display it as that.  Kokoro is kind of adorable too.


INVERTED COLORS???

(no this fight is cut short, sadly)


Shakadou is so meta, what a troll.



The End

Nobody is happy, especially me.  Argh.

References references references

I hear Yandere is going to actually release Miyako's route soon and it's the best one yet!  (They're always the best ones yet)


I finished volume 11 of DKaiji and volume 10 of Angel Densetsu too.  I've been busy the last few days though because MID-TERMS so I can only finish like half a dozen things a day instead of a dozen...

Spoiler: Angel Densetsu (click to show/hide)

Just watched the first episode of Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo. Pretty funny, but I hope that they tone down the frequency of over-the-top reaction faces soon because it feels like they're the punchline to every other joke.

This is anime... Over the top reaction faces are pretty much a staple.

Side note I watched a series of "Bad and silly" animes... and I actually liked about 50% of them

I have problems.

MIND YOU for a few I think the people who put that list up just have little taste/tollerance.
