Okay then? How's that Jojo, eh?
Coke bottle finger breaking? Cool, eh?
I want to watch Jojo's Bizarre Adventure but unfortunately they haven't dubbed it.
Yo guess what
Yes! At last I finally get to see the anime that gave the theme music for the Adeptus Custodes!

All fanfics are heresy, each and every one, especially the shipping ones. Those are by far the worst.

Looking back on season 1, the budget leap for the second one was simply astounding in comparison (along with switching to a different studio).
It went from budget anime to one of the best animated shows running right now.

Not really a budget issue necessarily, but the new Haruhi spin-off is animated by a different company to the rest of the franchise. Some of the character designs are so different that it's off-putting. It's probably more related to not having the legal rights to Kyoto Animation's character designs than anything else. Kyon looks about 12 years old now and Haruhi just looks like a totally different person. Coming straight off the back of the high quality animation from the movie (which this season spins off from) it's especially jarring. At least the voice actors are the same...

Back to SNAFU, it's not violent, and it's not fanservicy. A school comedy/drama with a little more substance than others. It's one of those (rare) examples that you can't always judge a show by it's premise or character art. Compare two animes with similar premises, but completely opposite execution:

http://myanimelist.net/anime/14813/Yahari_Ore_no_Seishun_Love_Comedy_wa_Machigatteiru.

If you just read the synopses, they could be very similar shows. Except one is a barrage of boobs and onsens, and the other has interesting plots.

Either that or they are trying to make the characters MORE appealing to the general Haruhi audience.

And before you take insult... COME ON!!! you know who the major fanbase of the show is...

That would make sense if the designs were actually cute or there was more fanservice than before.

They're less cute and there's less fanservice. How is that appealing to otaku base instincts?

And of course, that ignores the base idea that people get attached to a particular character design. Changing it completely without adding anything interesting isn't going to sell more merch.

But they do look like children now rather then... well they always looked like children.

So good point.

Haruhi doesn't look any younger. She just has a butt-ugly monkey-face now.

It's only the main guy Kyon who I said looks like a little kid compared to before.

Spoiler: Haruhi then and now (click to show/hide)
Spoiler: Kyon then and now (click to show/hide)

It's mostly that it's based off a manga spinoff who's artist had an artstyle that is very noticeable different from the usual Haruhi.

Just finished Ergo Proxy after starting it on Saturday night. That was... certainly a thing. Pretty abstract toward the end. I'll need to mull this over.

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

On the topic of K-On!, I really like the outfit Mio is wearing in the closing credits. I wanna wear it sometime if I ever get into cosplay.

Started watching K-on!! after finishing the first season.

I enjoy it heartily.
I've been enjoying it too. I identify with Mio on an emotional level.
I identify with Mio on a handedness level.

Well, I really liked it, personally. Never heard of it before I got it off one of my friends, though. It seems really old, since it wasn't in 1080P.

What anime convention?
