Oh god Black Lagoon was delicious. It's rare that I find anime that keeps me interested. I only saw the section with the twins. It was still phenomenal.

The best part is that that's not even the best BL has to offer.
I wish the OVA was released faster.

It's called "Endless Eight" for a fairly good reason, but hey, no one cares about adding a bit more characterization to Yuki and attempting to feel her pain throughout the loop.

>he'sactuallydefendingendlesseight
There is no reaction image that accurately portrays how bewildered I am right now.
If you want to highly rate an anime studio that blatantly rehashes content, go ahead. I'll be watching Madhouse and Gainax productions (Sans Panty and Stocking) which entertain me with fresh, original content.
I bought the Boxset of Black Lagoon, and I have the first four chunks of the english manga.
I saw the first episode of the OVA too. It's so good.
The twins arc is probably the most popular, but all of the arcs simply ****.
Just...****.
Such a good series.
In other news, I can't believe someone is DEFENDING the Endless Eight arc. That bull is THE reason I completely stopped watching or caring for Haruhi.

it's a shame, too. I read all the available novels before Baka-tsuki was asked to remove them, and the entire series is genuinely excellent. I doubt Haruhi will ever have the ratings to get another season aired now, though. And they never even got to the good parts!

What's the matter? Too DEEP for you?
>Gainax
>fresh, original content
Alright, now I know that you're trolling at this point.
What a qualified statement!
Yeah, Evangelion, TTGL, and FLCL are all rehashed content! My mistake on that one.
Oh wait.
If you bring up RahXephon, I'll laugh. RX was Bones' blaant ripoff of Eva
I read Endless Eight. I knew what was coming before it came. All of EE could have taken place in two episodes without losing anything.
And where has Gainax rehashed, exactly? 8|

If you're trying to add significance to the word "read" by italicizing it, it's unneeded.
"Alright guys, let's do a series with a whiny male protagonist and have it revolve around mechs (Eva).
Well, that sold well. Let's have a series with a whiny male protagonist and have it revolve around mechs, but we'll sell it as a coming of age story! (FLCL)

>he thinks the characterizations of Shinji, Kouta, and Simon are anywhere near similar

Also, uh
Mechs in FLCL? FLCL isn't a mecha, at all.
See, what you're doing is defining the genre that Gainax typically works within. Not all of their stories are the same, even remotely, and you'd know that if you watched them (Well, you should know, because all three are great series).
Kyoani certainly has a genre, which is typically slice of life style, but recently their work has devolved into blatant re-use of their old content, coming to a peak in Haruhi S2 and the second half of K-on! S1 (The beach episode, specifically).
Kyoanis stuff is enjoyable the first time. Not the second, third, or eighth time. While Gainax does restrict its stuff with genre pretty heavily, the stories are distinct enough that when I watch TTGL I don't think "God****, I just watched this yesterday / last week."

FLCL revolved around mechs?
What the **** 6 episodes did I watch then? O_O
According to my AB list, here are my most watched studios:
* Bee Train (5)
* Studio DEEN (5)
* Studio Ghibli (5)
* GONZO (4)
* J.C. Staff (4)
* Madhouse (4)
Keep in mind Higurashi counts as 3 for Studio Deen.... while I'd only really count it as 1.. so it's not horribly accurate.
I could just copy+paste my entire list, but nobody would care and it'd be too much hassle.
EDIT:
Shakugan and Toradora! are like.... two different parallels of anime in my eyes. o.o Even with how similar the two female protagonists are... which if you were getting at that... then blame the seiyuu.
A poll at animebyt.es: ( I voted Mizore...)

I said most watched, not most liked. =|
Madhouse, Ghibli, and DEEN are awesome.
Madhouse is actually terrifyingly prolific.

I'd forgotten they worked on some of this stuff.

Keep in mind my AB is NOT 100%. The list importer can't import my entire list due to name discrepancies - and I can't hand add them because the rating system currently does not work but is being fixed shortly... so then I can make my studio list far more accurate.

Ah yes, Aniplex. I want to ignore them for Claymore, but god**** Baccano! was glorious. Yeah, they're up there with Madhouse.
It's always good to see Baccano! appreciators.

Canti was a sea serpent and the crew fought off seagulls coming out off Kouta's head then.
What you're doing is defending your favourite studio's sub-par series by trying to give them an unneeded amount of depth to avoid being the same re-hash for every series.
We're getting nowhere with this point.
If I were to list my favorite anime of all time, ignoring studios...It's always good to see Baccano! appreciators.

Oh but you do
Baccano is definitely in the top five, all five of which are essentially tied. The sheer brilliance of that one is actually rather astounding.
Oh my god, bear jokes were never funny.
Canti wasn't even close to the main focus of the series.
The presence of a robot doesn't make the series a mecha.
>any of those three series
>sub par
We are destined to be archenemies for life, I fear.

You made me resort to it. Use the proper quote function then instead of greentexting.
For what reasons? I'm not mad in the slightest. I simply respectfully disagree with your tastes, and offer my opinions and reasoning why as to why I believe in the way that I do.

They can't have any omelets. Their mother, who made them, is as dead as disco.DID SOMEONE SAY OMELETES?

It's anime talk. Granted, most of my love for anime has been killed by the mainstream
, there are a few that catch my eye and I get engaged. I wish I had the complete series of Casshern Sins. That was pretty smooth.
Naruto/Bleach/Deathnote/etc.
