Anywho, let me go over Kyoani's stuff just to be sure.

Air/Clannad/Kanon/etc - mmmmmehhh
Full Metal Panic - Liked fumoffu more than the source stuff, not sure if that's normal
Haruhi - Not bad, endless eight wasn't nearly as funny as they hoped it'd be
K-On! - mmmmmehhhh
Nichijou - Funny show
Hyoka - Nah
Chunibyo - Nah
Tamako Market - Nah
Beyond the Boundary - I'll admit that I tried this one, but for whatever reason I just could not finish it. No idea why.
Free! - Not my cup of tea, though I'll admit it was hilarious to see reactions to this show. No opinion, really.
Amagi - Skipped it

They can animate the poo poo out of a show, and they can be funny as hell, but I am not really their target audience. Sorry I let all y'all down.

Kill la Kill was pretty good. It got kinda bland and predictable by the end, but that's still better than a lot of anime that just become unwatchable poo poo partway through.

I would recommend it to anyone who likes Go Nagai, if nothing else.

They're not exactly the same but the LN is from the FMP guy and the anime was handled by a lot of the same people.

Might not be as frantic as Fumoffu but I found it pretty funny.

Chunibyo comes out of the same type of social stigma that Americans use when they talk about the "terrible twos". It is isn't an anime thing.

And regardless, Trigger saved anime before KlK, anyway.

You know what is more irritating than people who insist a dumb cartoon is deep and meaningful? People who insist that dumb cartoons never have anything interesting to say.

Not that KlK has anything interesting to say, mind you. Or that it was good in general, because even the action was disappointing in the end.

To the man who loves art for its own sake, it is frequently in its least important and lowliest manifestations that the keenest pleasure is to be derived.

Sakurazuka posted:

I dunno I found it to be great when Amagi was trying to be serious. Mostly because the serious bits were about the great love story between Kanye West and 50 Cent and how everyone in the park was desperately trying to save Queen Latifah.

Also KlK and Inou Battle entertained me, which is more than I can say about many shows, even if there were massive cringe moments involved. And a few scenes in KlK that the internet will never let me forget.

Jesus I thought that was just a pilot, but it got picked up? I really thought it was too disgusting/not actually funny enough to catch on even with the Adult Swim set.
