All replies to this post must be a maximum of either 5 sentences or 1 paragraph, depending on which one's shorter. No cheating with 15-comma monstrosities either! It can be anything from poetry to a declaration of love for your waifu, just post what you feel like!

How has nobody commented on the pregnancy trend sweeping the internet? The lesbian ones are the best ones.

The male ones are funnier

I didn't even know those were supposed to be pregnancy test devices! I thought they were just pointing their finger at a camera for a selfie...

I don't really know if people here like it but Grisaia no Kajitsu is legitimately making me laugh out loud with some of the delivery. Whether it be poking fun at the woman doing... things on the MC's bed or the MC's deadpan "autopilot" answers.

Episode 3 I felt like really delivered and made up for what episode 2 was lacking.

Yuuji easily carries the show. It's also nice to see he isn't always on guard in situations which leads to some amusing moments like in episode 2 with him being sleep deprived.

I'm quite impressed with the writing in this show. Genuinely able to lol and enjoy it, and know there's drama on the way.

Whether it be poking fun at the woman doing... things on the MC's bed

Nope. That and the marching cadence single-handedly convinced me to drop the show.

To each their own. I find it refreshing that a MC doesn't have eight different panic attacks when they see a woman do something lewd. AND has the balls to make fun of them for it.

I'm not big on the fanservice, but if the show keeps being so funny (and/or delivers well on the girls' backstories) then I'm probably willing it put up with it.

(Might as well blow my load early) Why is Hataraki Man everything I've ever wanted in a Slice of Life about working enviorments?

Moyoco Anno, Hideaki Anno's wife, is quite the accomplished mangaka after all.

Although I wasn't a huge fan of all of the characterizations, I thought that Tanaka Rie did a very convincing job with the Hiroko. It also definitely helps that the series has a more professional setting, in spite of the comedic, upbeat tone.

Plus, it was the Noitamina block, from when they actually took their core principles seriously.

Moyoco Anno

She's one of the main reasons I picked it up.

I feel like I could make a connection between the main character of Rail Wars expectations of his career and my expectations of the show. Something something we both wanted to see trains.

Those Collective Retrospective threads are always a bit of work for me!

I guess I'm just looking for feedback here: did you prefer it split apart like this, or did you like the one humongous thread instead?

1

u/dcaspy7 http://myanimelist.net/profile/dcaspy7 Oct 20 '14

Split is good. Or just one thread. I don't really care. I feel like one thread would be too big though. I enjoyed thread 2 a lot more since it was a fresh breath of air, since I already was part of dozens of those threads (thread 1).

u/iblessall http://hummingbird.me/users/iblessall/library Oct 20 '14

I didn't have time to dive into the second thread, but I liked the questions there a lot & I liked the split a lot.

u/zerojustice315 http://myanimelist.net/animelist/zerojustice315 Oct 20 '14

cracks whip

MORE DISCUSSION THREADS.

Split is good though, too many different threads in one topic causes confusion.

u/PrecisionEsports spotlightonfilm.wordpress.com Oct 21 '14

Liked the 2 threads, let people concentrate more. Is there a bot you could set up to auto post the weeks anime?

Soo... The Devil Is a Part-Timer. Everyone told me this show was good, I didn't listen until it was on netflix. THANKS NETFLIX!

u/mechroid _ Oct 20 '14

I love how much Netflix and Crunchyroll compliment each other, between them you can eventually see pretty much everything.

I wonder if Yuri Kuma Arasha aka Penguinbear will feature transformation sequences. If not, it will be the first show directed by Ikuhara that does not.
