Hey guys?

Go watch Mahoujin Guru Guru. It's great and available to watch on Crunchyroll

Seconding this. This might be a dark horse for this season. Director did the Mad Max and the painting girl episodes of Flip Flappers. This series looks much simpler but it's a lot of fun. I'm getting some cucumber quest vibes.

idk what that is and it's not googleable, but Guru Guru is a revival of the 90's manga of the same name, which had a previous anime adaptation in '94.

Sorry, let me elaborate: In Latin America, they brought the anime and gave it the title "Caballeros de Kodai" (Literally "Knights of Kodai"). Because back then I was super into "Las Aventuras de Fly" (Latin America's dub of "Dragon Quest: Dai no Daibouken"), I also dug Mahoujin Guru Guru.

Ah, the memories. :allears:

I'm seemingly too olde for Guru Guru. Mostly spent the 23 minutes wishing the horrible noise onslaught would end already. Very aggressive comedy.
Supposedly the remake has a massively increased tempo, covering something like 3 old episodes with 1 new.

This is great. I loved the old one, but kinda lost interest after like 20 eps because it was dragging on too long.

Loved every second of Magic Circle GuruGuru It's just the sort of daft JRPG piss-take that comes from a place of love (be that from JRPGS in general or for the source material).

I was kind of enjoying Gamers! until I hit wikipedia and noticed it's the author behind Seitokai no Ichizon, which I hated beyond compare. Now I don't know what to do.

It's fine to enjoy / dislike several works of fiction by the same author. Not everything one person / a team makes is gonna be constant haute cuisine and golden strap-ons.

I suppose a price is to be paid to keep the ballance of Yin and Yang in ballance. For Magic Circle, a classic anime must be reborn in malformed skin, thus The Irresponsible Galaxy Tylor

is it even possible to judge a sequel as terrible when every episode is going to be 1 1/2 minutes of nothing

i can't even tell if it's actually bad because there's so little to see

I liked Gamers, which makes sense since I also remember liking Seitokai no Ichizon. The author actually knows how to write jokes.

I doubt they're playing CS on the controller, that looked much more like standard CoD. He was playing CS on the computer.

I remember that, when Nichibros originally came out, I thought that they were going to release it in bite-sized shorts. I think they released like a whole Episode worth of "Previews" in the three months previous to the anime actually airing.

Goddamn, I miss Nichibros. :negative:
