Anime Relations: One Punch Man
If I died tomorrow no one know would know that I have complicated opinions about Japanese media.

One Punch Man: It's a single gag that doesn't hold up the show, and is just a generic shounen. A perfect example of people misconstruing parody or "deconstruction" (a word loaded with pretension in the anime community). Sure it makes fun of shounen but it also a classically made, very safe, and very predicable and boring work. I really like the last few seconds of the OP though, and pretending to like One Punch Man is funnier than actually enjoying it in my book.

Non Non Biyori Repeat: I think Ren has a special need or something. Or maybe the author is just exercising their frustrations through a very young girl. She's clearly supposed to be the mouthpiece for comedy so it makes her feel unnatural. I appreciate the lack of sexuality in the show but it between the long stretches of scenery and the adults that are dumber than children it's hard to find any reality here. It doesn't feel human at all. It feels like anime. I like anime that can do both... Nano.RIPE is unbearable in this OP.

2k13 is an important year because 2k12 sounds cool but 2k13 sounds new because it's one more

so here's the best anime 2k13 in order:
1. Kill LA Kill
2. Monogatari Series Second Season
3. Uchoten Kazoku
4. Berserk III - Advent
69. Kagaku na Yatsura

bad anime:
0. Dog & Scissors, Crime Edge, Photo Kano
This is what bad looks like objectively and therefore it is unfair to make a worst lsit with these at any place other than the agreeable 0th.
1. WataMote
you fucking blew it... screw this unfunny pathetically depressing farcical comedy. I hope no one like that sad fuck main character exists in real life. I liked the idea of looking at a character with no redeeming social traits but like damn, it doesn't mean make a static character traipse around like a buffoon for 12 episodes doing the same otaku bait shit. fuck
2. Shingeki no Kyojin
it was alright but like the pacing and recaps belittled me. It was an action anime that was fucking STRETCHED THIN. There was more content to adapt so why didn't they just get as far as they could or stop short? Also the choppy and linear way the anime is presented as opposed to the more intelligent manga makes this fucking show one for the kiddies. the manga is aware that there are no characters, but the anime really has something to prove because the characters are focused on heavily and they come across as so fucking one dimensional. fuck you mikasa you're the worst character of the year. also fuck you annie what the fuck?? an anime with no explanations and a bunch of stupid questions where the final mystery will be solved with the first plot device. you think the audience will just forget about that fucking key but we won't no matter how many shitty side plots and extra characters you crucify in the process
3. kyoukai no kanata
what could have been, also HOLY FUCK IT'S TERRIBLE
4. free
what could have been
5. galilei donna
if you watch this you're an idiot
6. Infinite Stratos 2 / other ecchi harem SHIT (walkure romanze oh FUCK)
stop giving shit ass studios your money and time you dipsticks
7. outbreak company
at least pander us something with characters worth watching stupid animu companies
8. Sasami@Ganbaranai
They didn't pay anyone to animate this.
was anything worth watching this year other than my best list? i have no fuckig clue

This show is about RICK.

Rick has many hobbies but

HOLY
SHIT

does he LOVE !!!!!BREAD!!!!!!

Rick makes bread, sells bread, delivers bread, eats bread, and heals weird ass digimon with what the heck was it? Oh shit I must have been stoned as rocks - BREAD.

You're sitting on your ass all like "pfft yeah i saw Yakitake Nippoon and that anime was just FULL OF BREAD how the ham eggs and bacon does this anime one up it?" Let me answer that, by telling you it's already been answered.

THE ANSWER IS FUCKING RICK. No, calm your dicks, that was an adjective not a verb (as much as I want to fuck Rick). RICK is amazingly kakwei in every way, so much that he has his own cheer squad that follows him around while he does bread related things. You know who else has a cheer squad? Gary Oak has a cheer squad.

You're sitting on your ass all like "pfft yeah i saw Gary Oak and that guy was just FULL OF MUSCLES how the bacon lettuce tomato does this guy live up to him?" Let me answer that, by telling you it's already been answered.

THE ANSWER IS FUCKING BREAD.

So here'sa checklist of things this anime has that every other anime this season doesn't:
BREAD - CHECKAROONIE
RICK - CHECKMATE

If you're looking for a new spin on a classic yeast related concept, or maybe are just perusing for a stupidly named protagonist, you're in for a delight with Rick no Bread - Shiningu Heartios.

ps this review was deleted because mods were jealous of ricks huge breadsticks
