Side note, Plastic Nee San was just plain weird.
Wow you got the exact opposite problem of that picture KM. Your going to overload! Too much!
Which is why I mostly watch only one at a time if I can help it. Or I would end up doing the same thing!

I've got enough old stuff that's already finished airing that I can focus on one at a time. Once I've exhausted all of that though I'll probably start to get into the same boat!

I can't believe next week is the last NGNL episode. This needs a second season ASAP, this last episode was phenomenal.

Started Non Non Biyori today. Not too bad. Im starting to come to terms with the fact im no where near as picky with Anime as I was a few years back. Im pretty much enjoying anything I try at the moment.

I started Attack on Titan a few days ago. I don't get why people love it; for me it's firmly average, sometimes bordering on sub-par. The only other anime I've watched is Gurren Lagan. Loved it.

Hurray! More people are discovering the MAGNIFICENCE that Non Non Biyori is!
In other news, it was the first time I had to hunt the source of a gif but I think it was worth it :3 anyone ever saw "Pani Poni Dash!" ? This seems to be another crazy anime with lots of jokes.
(The gif that made me go hunt)

Started that pet girl show from a few seasons back. The first 4 or so episodes are sooooo moody that I'm having trouble getting through them to the good stuff. I didn't come here for evangelion tier angst! I have enough of that as it is!

Sure hope so. That ending was anything but conclusive and it had one hell of a teaser after the ED.

feth yes to all of these as it happens, but in particular Magic Knigh Rayearth, Card Captor Sakura and Devil Hunter Yoko, the latter of which I really want to see. Sakura too come to think of it, I've never seen the non-butchered version.
Of course I'd be remiss not to mention Revolutionary Girl Utena, which stands out as an anime classic that I cannot stand. At all. Maybe an update would make it watchable for me.
In other news I've been warned off of Okami-San and Her Seven Assistants. Apparently it's not worth the time invested.

I found Utena to be a really good series that really has strong themes, story, and characters. Granted it is a hard one to watch as a casual viewer. What did you not like about it?

Hobby Goals and Resolution of 2017: Paint at least 95% of my collection (even if getting new items). Buy small items only at 70% complete.
There's too much there to really get into it, but the reused and kinda dodgy animation really bugged me, and some of the plot elements blocked me from getting to into it. I dunno it's a complex show and I have complex issues with it if that makes any sense haha.

Just watched an episode of "sword art online" that was airing on. T.v.
Interesting. Although I hate it when characters that are sixteen look like they're 6, it bothers me to no end.
I don't recall that issue being present in SAO. Was this a new episode or something? I mean, the issue of age is kinda fuzzy anyways due to the Videogame aspect of it.

No, I don't think so. Remember at the very first ep or second the "Game Master" gives all players a mirror that changes their avatar into what they look like in real-life. I'm surprised we only saw a case of a male player using a female avatar (I'd be one of those tbh. I always use female characters in any game if I'm able to)
I'm guessing you are talking about Silica? She's the youngest character I remember of, and she's 12. She's 14 at the end of the first Arc.

No. I didn't watch the whole episode, but the main guy (I assume) and this blue-black haired girl were in this sewer type place. The girl looked about 10, and was talking about suicide.

Ah. That was actually pretty early on. Note that the girl might have actually been 10. (like I said, anime's always kinda fuzzy on the age- it's the size of the heads, mostly). The show's kinda deep, and there's reason that even a child might be thinking about suicide.

I've seen Asian girls are really really small for their age. I'm not totally sure what the average heights are in Japan, but I got the impression they are lower than around here. If you combine that with the girls still being in just middle school, then you really could get girls that look quite young.
Just checks stats. On average they are 2 inches shorter than Aus females. 5"4.5' seems to be fairly representative of the average female height in western characters.
Waiting for my shill money from Spiral Arm Studios
Asian countries definitely have a much lower average height.
I remember going to adopt my sister from China. I was 4 and only about 8-10" shorter than most adults there.
My sister is now much taller than what she would have been. And she's still much shorter than most people here. She's only about 4' 10"

Yes, the asian "frame" is smaller than the average westerner. I bet it's gonna be hell to be able to find clothes that fit loosely
I hate my brain ... I swear every damn time I go to any kind of an event, if there's anything Evangelion related it kicks in full scumbag mode:
Brain: Hey, hey, what about buying another Rei? This one is really different from all other ones.
Me: Damn it brain, I already have 5... 5! It's starting to get creepy! I'm ignoring you today.
Brain: But you still don't have this one. C'mon, what harm is there?
Me: No Brain, not today, today I'll be able to visit a Japan related event without bringing another Rei home.
Brain: This one is Cat-Girl themed.
Me: .... feth you Brain ... *grabs wallet*
Spoiler:
And yes, I got Asuka too.

Finished Arpeggio. Damn. That was some good stuff. The character animations were a tad choppy at times. But the battles were smooth and looked quite good. None of the characters got on my nerves and I liked them all on the whole. Would definetly watch a second season if that was to come down the line at some point.
