SPOILER: Show
My favorite part was when the girl who lost her whole family to the shiki finally finds out who really killed most of them and them proceeds to go apeshit on the killer. It was a long time coming and beautiful sight to behold.

Just watched the new episode of Shiki. It was fucking awesome. The show had been taking it slow for the past few episode, so it was great to have them go all out again.

For some reason, all the "cool kids" hate on that anime these days. This not being /a/, it is officially perfectly OK to like Elfen Lied.Twin Drive Sigma Aquarion wrote:I don't get it, does Toe Mash hate that series?

In all fairness, I wasn't one of those people that thought it was a masterpiece before coming to /a/. Some of it was really embarrassing to watch the first time around, but it was a little hard to evaluate as I hadn't seen many other series at the time.
Actually, outside of /a/ (EGF, MAL etc.) I was surprised that people were really praising EL, and it nearly seemed like it's unanimously considered a very good watch, which I found perplexing, but whatever.
Slightly more on topic:
Amagami SS 23 - Ah, this arc was supposedly the main one in the game and they are not disappointing so far. The lame and cliched class rep character going psycho mode is really fun. I just wonder when they will fuck things up, as usual.
Dropped EL episode 1. Couldn't take the character designs seriously. They reminded me too much of School Days, and possibly also some hentai I once watched, since I liked School Days and didn't have a problem with its CD when I was watching it.
Nothing is so valuable that it need not be started afresh, nothing is so rich that it need not be enriched constantly.

IIRC the studio that did it are better known as purveyors of hentai.

(It's just a list of anime produced by Studio Arms, EL's studio)
Seems like it, lol. And for some reason it really upsets me that they also produced Genshiken..

Just finished watching EL. I really liked it a lot. I don't care about what the 4chan neckbeards think of it or what else the studio has produced; it had very good character development and delivered an engaging story without any bullshit filler, which are two things I find are sorely lacking in a lot of the obscure anime the elitists get boners over.

Are you talking about Tatami Galaxy or Kuragehime? In any case, that's awesome.

Gratuitous violence, violence against women, violence against children and incest in anime... unheard of.
