Manabi/Anime Saving are absolutely meaningless and included as a joke. The 10k one is rather arbitrary but you can safely assume that anything averaging that much was a hit.

Yeah I figured as much. We otakus sure are a funny bunch.

-Hell yeah Jojo. Daily rankings looked good but this is surprisingly great, mostly due to DVDs being much larger than I expected. I guess a much cheaper DVD helps a lot with something really mainstream like Jojo.
-Hell no Magi. Fujoshi buying this makes me sad because the show is an unfinished piece of crap. Hopefully it will plummet when the ticket events are no longer bundled.
-What the hell Garupan. I thought it would be rather quiet this week because there's no Amazon restock until the 15th or so but it somehow sneaked in over 3k again. I have no doubts about it hitting 30k now, who the hell knows how far it'll go.

Amazing season with the most +10k volumes we've ever had. And spring 2013 looks very solid again. Fuck yeah, cartoons.

Wow, JoJo's is doing really well! I'm so happy now; we might see a third season, and a fourth if that does well. Which means the best villain. Hell yeah!

The Nico subs are fine, there's no reason to wait for FFF unless you have some odd, deep-seated loyalty to them.
Also Nekogami sucked.

>>44337
with kiteseekers-subs you might as well learn japanese anyway

Kyou no Asuka got an adaptation back in August. I'm surprised nobody bothered subbing it, there's apparently 20 episodes by now. I liked what I read of the manga, and now that I know Fujiwara voices Asuka's dad I'm more interested in watching it.

After some nonsense I finished Mononoke, and I liked it quite a lot. It looked stunning, and while the characters at times got on my nerves, the MC's lovely voice calmed me right down. The music was really fitting, and the voices (especially during the hectic parts) were spot on.

And the MC is sooooooo hot, omigosh

>The transformation animation bias upsets me.
I think it's hilarious. It's like in Smile, where everyone gets a kickass transformation scene except for Reika.

>>42149
This is one thing that upsets me about the show, it's like it forget there are other Saints than Kouga, Yuna, and Souma. Haruto gets some screen time but it barely feels like he has much presence, Ryuho got decent screen time during the school parts but after that they wrote him off because of his sickness, Eden is still evil, and while I mentioned Souma earlier he has more presence than Haruto but still feels like he's just there.

I've decided to continue to watch Saint Seiya, as this week's episode was fucking awesome. It's just too bad Souma left the team.
I wish this show would be more consistently good, the difference in quality and direction between episode 18 and 16 is so big they could've been from two separate series.

>>42149
Ryuho is returning next episode. I'm assuming they're aiming for the water place now that they've done all the other elements. Lightning place and Eden is obviously last.

Bah humbug. Anyone else irked by the fact that Ryuuhou didn't plucked his eyes out? He was even up against the Perseus saint, ffs!

Why Omega ;_;

>>42617
Don't think you have to worry about a second season when they're done with the source material, spinoff aside.

Hyouka is by far the show I've enjoyed the most this year. I never expected Takemoto and Gatoh to work together at KyoAni again, and I'm glad to see they're as good a team as they used to be. There's no reason to complain about FMP anymore if they produce stuff like this instead. Kadokawa can keep being an asshole about their IP for all I care, KyoAni's talented enough to make an excellent show out of an average mundane mystery novel.

>>42618
Fair enough. What was it about Hyouka that you enjoyed so much?
It had a few good episodes, but I wouldn't really rate it as highly as you do.

>>42617
Really? All I've heard is that the end was "beautiful", "moving" and stuff like that. I haven't seen it myself, but feedback seems very positive. Was it the story part you didn't find interesting?

>>42625
I'm not that guy (in fact this is probably my first post in this thread) but I've finished Hyouka so I'll go ahead and put words in his mouth.

Hyouka was extremely dull. Yes, the story is not very interesting. It takes a "mystery of the week/two weeks" approach, but the mystery is never exciting or intriguing in any way, once the answer is obvious you get to spend 20 minutes of the protagonist explaining the solution to the female lead, etc etc. Each individual episode of Hyouka is not worth watching, and as a whole there is nothing extra. I mean, you could basically put any episode as stand-alone with a brief introduction to the characters. There's no over-arching plot or character development or anything.

The ending wasn't beautiful or moving or anything like that. It was boring. No climactic moments, no resolution, no nothing. Of course that's to be expected since there was no tension or buildup or anything at all that needed resolving, Jesus Christ but still, you'd expect a finale episode to be special in some way. Any way at all.

The only good thing about Hyouka is that it is very pretty to watch. The character designs are nice and there are five million frames per episode.

Last episode of Uchuu Kyoudai was very touching. I'm glad I've kept up with the 40 episodes so far.

I'm making slow progress. Lunatic Princess is going to take a while, but I've got Septette down. I just don't like its arrangement very much.

I want to try Plain Asia, but that song is fucking crazy.

How important are weighted keys when buying an electric piano? I've been focusing on an M-audio Keystation (~$200) as a bare minimum, since it's the cheapest MIDI controller I can find with semi-weighted keys. I've done some research, though, and a lot of people say that fully weighted or hammer action keys are best for learning on. Keyboards with hammer action cost between $400-$500 at the very least however, which is more than I'm ordinarily willing to commit. Is it worth the extra few hundred dollars for a better keyboard just to learn?

>>43825
If you ever want to use a real piano, you want a keyboard with weighted keys.

>>43826
End of discussion. It's worth it too, if you're serious.
Also, better off getting a proper keyboard than a MIDI controller if you're buying it to actually play.

>>43853
I third this recommendation. Even weighted keyboards don't feel quite right to me (they're a lot stickier-feeling than a piano's keys) but a weighted keyboard is in the hundreds of dollars and a proper 88-key piano is in the thousands.

Also, for anyone looking out for Touhou piano arrangements, http://www.youtube.com/user/kkcwkoh?feature=watch is a great link to have if you don't. There are plenty of transcriptions linked too.

Bunbun has been unusually inactive lately! Is everybody traveling and/or enjoying the company of family and friends for the holidays? Or are you like me, lurking because you have nothing interesting to say?

>>44108
Pretty much.

But why?
Her intro arc was terrible, and she doesn't really do anything.

>>44061
OniAi was always going to be a total piece of shit, by a no name studio with zero budget. People had zero expectations and it met them.
SAO was hyped the fuck up because A-1, huge LN sales and subsequent fanbase, and having a pretty decent budget. People's expectations were way higher for this show, of course more people are complaining.
Also SAO still thinks it's actually good unironically, so do a lot of the fans. It's easy trolling.

>>44070
She isn't cute either.

>>44070
In case you haven't noticed, The terrible writing surrounding a character doesn't make that character itself any less amazing or cute. Why do any of those have anything to do with how much I would like the character itself?

Besides, she's the centerpiece. Everything else is simply tacked on around her. Even the writers know who the best character is in the series.
>>44093
You can kindly go fuck yourself with a cactus. gently and slowly.

>>44133
What? She didn't even originally exist in the SAO arc. The author retconned her in later once he decided that he would add more shit to the story.

One is a fortress of solitude and the other is a tirith of ice. They fight crime!

There's a /bun/ server up, but it's on the IRC. So technically it's a #bun server!

How romantic!

I've tried reading Negima at least three times now but I always get really bored because it's neither a harem or a battle manga it just feels like a weird mix between to the two that never really fully satisfies either.

>>43786
I tried starting once, but barely managed to finish the first volume. I loved Love Hina, though, so you can imagine my disappointment.

YOU KNOW WHAT NARU? FUCK YOU! YEAH THAT'S RIGHT, YOU GOD DAMNED WHORE, I SAID IT! IT'S CUNTS LIKE YOU WHO MAKE GUYS LIKE KEITARO THE WAY HE IS, A COMPLETE AND UTTER FUCKING PUSSY! I CAN'T STAND ANIME GIRLS LIKE YOU! A GUY COMES UP AND SHOWS INTEREST IN YOU AND YOU JUST BRUSH HIM OFF BECAUSE YOU THINK HE'S BEING PERVERTED AND THEN WHEN HE GOES OFF TO START A CONVERSATION WITH SOMEONE ELSE AND YOU GET ALL OFFENDED AND DEFENSIVE THINKING "WHY IS HE TALKING TO HER?" AND THEN YOU AIM THAT JEALOUSY MORE AT KEITARO AND YOU CONFUSE HIM EVEN MORE! GODDAMN YOU NARU, AND IF THAT DOESN'T MAKE THINGS WORSE KEITARO HAS GENUINE ACCIDENTS THAT END UP IN HILARIOUS SITUATIONS AND YOU FUCKING BUTT IN AND PUNCH HIM OR GIVE HIM SOME UNDUE SHIT. I KNOW YOU MARRIED HIM AT THE END OF THE SERIES BUT I HOPE KEITARO WAKES UP ONE DAY FUCKING TIRED OF YOUR BULLSHIT AND LEAVES YOUR BITCH ASS HAVING TO TURN TRICKS TO PAY OFF STUDENT LOANS AT TOKYO U WHILE HE’S RUN OFF HAVING A THREESOME WITH MUTSUMI AND KANAKO, AND HELL I BET ADULT KAOLLA AND FUCKING SHINOBU WILL BE THERE SINCE YOU KEPT FUCKING UP THEIR CHANCES WITH KEITARO. HAVE FUN GIVING HAND JOBS BEHIND THE JAPANESE 7-11 DURING THE DAY AND CRYING YOURSELF TO SLEEP AT NIGHT KNOWING THAT THE ONE TRUE MAN YOU EVER LOVED, OR FOR THAT MATTER EVER TRULY LOVED YOU NO MATTER HOW SHORT A TIME IT WAS, IS GONE AND YOU WILL DIE ALONE! AND WHEN DEATH COMES BREATHING DOWN YOUR FUCKING NECK, YOU CUM GUZZLING DUMPSTER WHORE, I HOPE THE GRIM REAPER TAKES YOU SCREAMING AND PLEADING TO THE VERY DARKEST BLACKEST DEPTHS OF THE HELL YOU CREATED FOR YOURSELF AND YOU SAMPLE THE TORMENT YOU PUT KEITARO THROUGH FOR ALL ETERNITY! AND FUCK YOU GUYS, THIS ISN'T COPYPASTA, I TYPED IT ALL OUT JUST NOW!

tl;dr violence as comedy doesn't work in a supposedly romantic setting you fucking dirty masochist Akamatsu

I really, really hate Love Hina.
