And why the hell is shitty Angel Beats ranked higher then the excellent Arakwa Under the Bridge. Seriously Arakawa is the best show of the season, the only thing I will except being ranked higher then it this season is Yojouhan Shinwa Taikei.

NB4 the shut the fuck up, its Key and Maeda Jun, it's too good for you, nonsense.

Angel Beats has been pretty damn boring so far and I have yet to see whats so good about Maeda Juns "great story telling" in this one because I'm not seeing it yet.

I think he was drunk when he was writing this one. I don't think he took a break from key because he was burnt out, more likely he is trying to fix his drinking problems.

More seriously I don't know how you manage to watch 4 episodes, I couldn't even finish the 1st one.
I might pick it up when it'll finish airing, but for the moment it looks like it's going to suck hard.

Arakawa is only your favourite anime of the season because you haven't seen Rainbow yet. Seriously, don't make any statements about this season until you have watched Rainbow.

You might want to watch Giant Killing too (imagine L as a successful troll-come-soccer manager. Seriously, Takumi is just THAT awesome). Oh, and House of Five Leaves as well.

You haven't watched Rainbow either, so your argument is invalid as well.

I think it looks really nice, but I don't find it terribly funny so far. The third episode was kind of stupid. Hoping it recovers.

The word "Key" makes me stay away from it.
And Rainbow, Arakawa and Tatami Galaxy are very good from what I've seen so far.
We are the United. Even in defeat we stand united.

Rainbow looked amazing the first episode, but looks like it might fail.

Yojouhan Shinwa Taikei is easily the second most pretentious show I have seen right behind ergo proxy. But it still has potential so meh.

I hope you are ready to read entire sentences is a couple of seconds then. They talk fast. It looks like it could be quite good, but you don't get a chance to digest anything that has been said. Oh and it's odd, but then again, this is Maasaki Yuasa we are talking about here.

I agree. Just because they cram hundreds of lines in dialogue into an anime doesn't make it pretentious.

In fact, the most "pretentious" ones tend to be the ones with very little or no dialogue in them (La Maison en Petits Cubes being an exception).

Right. He's welcome to explain why he thinks it's "pretentious," if he can, but Bite misses the point (and/or goes for the easy, boring troll attempt). I don't care whether or not he likes what I like, but he could at least offer more interesting criticisms than "pretentious."

Anyhow, my advice to those checking out Tatami Galaxy is: skip the Funi streams. The sheer volume and velocity of the subtitles and the great visuals demands something of a higher quality. I even watched it twice, and got much more out of it the second time. The show's frenetic pacing is going to make this one worth watching at least a few times...

The most generic show of the season, at least.

One would hope that western comics + anime would amount to something more interesting than the blandest possible repeat of Spiderman w/ a robot that looks like the Michelin Man's evil twin (decorated in stars & stripes for no apparent reason), but nope. It's obviously aimed at kids so bitching about it too much is silly, but it's pretty disappointing. Stanime is a fail.

At least the coffee meme is pretty funny.

When I watched Yojouhan Shinwa Taikei, I paused when ever subs came up, so I got the whole message, nothing really went over my head except the Japanese culture references, but those always do.

As for the show being pretentious, I really don't think I need to explain myself there, if you don't see how the show is pretentious then that's your loss. But just because it's pretentious doesn't mean the show is bad, except for Ergo Proxy that was just poo. I think the show has potential if it doesn't try too hard to do too much, like ergo proxy.

I just think pretentious is the wrong word for this show, even in the case of your argument. You could get away with calling it showy, bombastic, and maybe even slightly ostentatious, but when you say "pretentious" you're implying that it's attempting to go beyond its own depth — which it is not. It's visually expressive, more interesting than your average animu. I think it's a sad day when people start whining about more ambitious artistic expression being "pretentious."

I like Angel Beats and Arakawa equally.

Arakawa makes me laugh about once per episode. Angel Beats is an ok show but it's not super, super good.

People like Key but they don't like good humour a la Arakawa.

I dropped Angel Beats after 10 minutes it was too much like Gantz and all the characters annoyed me. The best of the season is definetly Tatami Galaxy but if you really have to go for a cutesty anime, then B Gata H Kei

Angel Beats gets better after the first episode, you know. It's like a watered-down Rainbow with moeblobs, at least as far as back-stories are concerned.

As for anitypes description of Yojouhan, it's pretty accurate.
