Wow, that was a fast response!

Did you ask for recommendations on the forums or something or are you talking about from me ages ago? Haha, I only noticed the shoujo-ai because when I log in it tells you what your friends have recently watched/put on PTW, and I noticed you had a couple shoujo-ai completed, on PTW, and on your watching list, so I was all, "Whaaaat?" XD

Ah, and sorry if my random shoujo-ai comment came out of nowhere. Feels like we haven't talked in ages - I actually wasn't expecting a response from you so quickly! So what's new? Are you planning to watch anything this coming spring?

I keep forgetting to tell you, I heard somewhere that Uta-Pri might get a season 2. I'm not sure if I should be excited or not.

As for recommendations: Check out Inu X Boku SS, it seems like something you'd like. It's still airing from the winter line-up and it's a good shoujo pick. In a way it reminds me of Kuroshitsuji.

When did you get into Shoujo-ai? o.O

I have not given many recommendations before so i am not sure it will fit your taste:

Les Misérables
Strawberry Panic

Also i recommend watching these even tho they are not elegant

Kemono no Souja Erin
Glass Mask (2005)

Hope things are well with you. Merry Christmas! ^_^

We look forward to seeing you all here !

Do I want to ask what this worst possible way was? I was having a conversation with a friend online a long while ago. He knew I was into anime so he said something like, "You're not into hentai or anything, right?"

My clueless response was, "What's hentai?" So that's how I learned of its existence. Probably best I learned of it through a conversation rather than have some forum nuts shove it into my face or something.

Oh yeah, anime definitely have great stories. Why else would we watch them! People just can't seem to understand that it isn't Scooby-Doo, nor is it something weird/bad/whatever else.

There's been no news of a Dantalian season two. I guess we'll have to wait and see. I don't think it sold very well, though. :/

I don't think I'll watch the Ao no Exorcist specials, no. I don't like 1-2 minute things like that. There's only a few shows I make exceptions for with that, like Usagi Drop. 4-5 minutes of Rin and Daikichi is worth it! :)

Haha, you're not the only person I've talked to that was really put off by Chihayafuru's description but ended up loving it! So who do you like better: Taichi or Arata? I'm totally cheering for Arata. I just can't support Taichi at this point. Besides, he already has a girlfriend. XD

Hilda's been getting more screen time and such. For a while it was all Aoi, Aoi, Aoi. I like Aoi too, but I think I like Hilda more. Besides, the way Hilda gets when she's praising "the young master" is just hilarious. Her face goes from -_- to :D

Yeah, I'm not a big fan of Guilty Crown's protagonist and especially not of his voice actor. Every character he's ever voiced has sounded whiney to me.
I'm glad you're enjoying it, though! Its visuals and music are good, but that's to be expected of a band like Supercell. That opening song, Euterpe, was enchanting.


Oh, and I found this video with someone's top 50 anime OPs of 2011 on it! I'm sure you'll recognize a few of them from earlier in the season. :)

So far the shows I'm watching go in this order for now:

1. Bakuman 2
2. Chihayafuru
3. Mirai Nikki
4. Fate/Zero

5. Hunter X Hunter
6. Phi Brain
7. Kimi to Boku
8. Last Exile
9. Guilty Crown
10. Tamayura

11. Un-Go
12. Persona 4
13. Ben-To

I put them in tiers. Top 4 are obvious since I think I talk about them with anyone and everyone any chance I get. The middle ones are all decent and the bottom ones I'm struggling to like. Un-Go is episodic, tries to be a mystery and fails, and then tries to be deep and intellectual and also fails (so far). Persona 4 is repetitive and the characters are bland. Ben-To is trying so hard to be funny but not doing a good job, plus all the fanservice is an obvious red flag for me. To be honest it's probably more entertaining to watch than Persona 4, but the fanservice makes it worse for me.

No worries, I'm late too. :P

Human stereotypes. The horrors! I've always wondered if they seem... normal. I mean, you meet a crapload of idiots on the internet everyday, so you when you think to yourself that ALL of those people exist somewhere in the world, it's just scary... but more pathetic than scary. And I've always wondered to myself upon meeting one of these idiots, "What are they like in real life?" and promptly imagine myself punching them with all my strength, breaking every tooth in their mouth. I'm not violent! Really, I'm not! *Big smile*

...Okay, I'm a little violent. But only to those that deserve it! :D

My first guess as to why they think it's weird would be because of those abnormal fans who watch cartoon porn hentai, yaoi, yuri, etc. But then I have to remember I didn't even know of the existence of that stuff until I started watching anime online, so of course most people with no interest in anime whatsoever wouldn't know of it either. (Lol@imagining their reaction. Glorious!) But anyways, I think they just find it weird that older people who should have grown out of "cartoons" like to watch "poorly animated" ones from another country. Curse you, society, and all your cookie-cutter demands too!

Most of my family members think it's pretty weird I watch anime, but they don't really care at this point. I don't go out of my way to tell people I watch anime or anything, because how exactly would you bring it up in conversation? Just the same, if anyone ever asked what my interests are, anime would be one of the first things out of my mouth right along with video games. I like being an anomoly of a girl. ^_^

Between the both of us being so late with replying, Uta-Pri, Ao no Exorcist, and Dantalian all seem so old!

Uta-Pri played out how I expected it to except for Nanami's decision at the end there.


Dantalian was disappointing at the end. It's too bad it never actually went anywhere. I was glad to see Flamberge and her keeper again in the last episode, though. I really wanted those two to have more screen time.

Ao no Exorcist was awesome until it went anime original.


I'm watching way too much this new season. What kind of show are you looking for? Looks like you've already started Chihayafuru, which is something I would have recommended. I absolutely love it! By the way, how did you like Usagi Drop?

This is obvious: Bakuman 2! Picking up right where the other one left off. I love it~

How did you feel about Beelzebub at the time you put it On-Hold? Once it got passed the filler episodes it was pretty good, and where I'm at right now, episode 40, it's actually really good. Let me just say I absolutely adore Hilda's character even more.

You rated Fate/Stay Night a 9, so you should definitely check out Fate/Zero. I wasn't all that impressed with F/SN, but Zero is amazing! All the characters are older, so no highschool setting which makes for a very nice change of pace. All the heroes seem pretty cool and Saber returns as well. It is a prequel, after all. Also, the soundtrack is by Yuki Kajiura. <3

Last Exile has an interesting Steampunk theme going on. Aerial ships doing combat and such. There's a bit of fanservice, but compared to other shows it's really tame at this point. It's a bit reminiscent of Fractale. I haven't seen the original Last Exile and I don't think it matters if you have. I hope it'll end well since it's supposed to have 20+ episodes.

Mirai Nikki has been a lot better than I thought it would be. That OVA we watched really didn't do the show justice. Fanservice is its only downfall. The way they've got the story set up is really intruging though, and it's one of my favorites this season.

You might like Tamayura Hitotose. It's a slice of life show with four female characters. I'm sure you know the stereotype-genre. It's cute for what it is.

I have to catch up with a few other like Hunter x Hunter and Un-Go, so I can't say anything about those. The last one I'll mention is Phi Brain. It's not really a remarkable show. The thing I like best is the protagonist, which doesn't happen often for me. I just love his personality. It's kind of funny at times and the animation is a bit weird but okay-ish just the same. One disappointment people have is that the puzzles in the show are practically impossible for the viewer to solve, so you just get to watch as our genius MC does everything. Haha.

All the above shows are airing, by the way. My favorites this season would be Bakuman 2 (of course!), Chihayafuru, Mirai Nikki, and Fate/Zero.
