(CR) White Album (All Episodes, 1-26)

[Nosauz]

ok...., lets nitpick some more? my point is still valid. Take for instance Law and Order. Even though the it clearly states that no real images were depicted, does it mean that its not based on reality whereas it clearly states that it isn't? I just made an observation, misworded it, and you make it sound like I rewrote the bible. And from the arguments I was dealing with, the people who were talking about the show gave me the impression that they felt the show was based on a realistic setting, so I was just using that state in my argument to prove a point.

Yeah, its alright if it is is pertinent. I was just saying that, not trying to start any trouble. And you should watch Clannad. One big difference is that it is quite funny most of the time.

The primary reason I came to AS is to discuss this show actually. lol.

I do wonder how WA isn't coming off as being a realistic situation or how the characters aren't believeable...clearly one or two of them have brain problems that can happen in real life

I don't disagree with your arguments or points you made, I think they are valid opinions and observations. In fact, I agree with you on most parts.
However, you have to remember that intentionally (or unintentionally) misquoting or fabricating a concept to prove a point does nothing but hurt your credibility, and as a result fails to make your point convincing.
It's counter-productive to what you're trying to achieve.

this is only true if you get caught! but in all honesty I probably should have phrased it in a manner that did not seem so dogmatic in nature. But then again in the heat of the moment I just went for a more artistic approach with my argument that was not completely based on fact but more on observations which are still in their own means opinions and not those of the creators.

p.s I'm not implying I did it on purpose

Aftermath's coming up soon right? Can't wait for the raw. I hope Mana's not on the menu ;_; (Special Note, never played the original, and the previews are always wickedly vague)

Yup, its time to hide from this thread until I watch it. After all, I hate spoilers. lol

And I changed my banner. I think its my favorite so far.

Haaaaaaaaaa ・・・(ﾟДﾟ )？!

Spoiler for ep9:

Dame da... It wasn't exactly easy last episode, but the protagonist has gone beyond my ability to understand actions.... I guess rather than his fault, it's more because the episode felt kind of... stuffed.

So... To shut her up, he kissed her (Misaki)... Well, first, he wonderfully snapped her flags, and then he understood her feelings, and being the guy he is, he became confused on what to do, and because she was talking so loud, he rushed and kissed her... Or something like that? Either way, this guy is just... no good anymore. He doesn't even seem to understand himself either.

And then we have Mana. Eh?! Why did you try to kiss him? When did you two cause so many flags to stand up?
And Touya! You're the tutor! Get up~

Good guy! Touya's dad is.

Almost made me forget there was a rather light? comedic? scene with Yuki and such around the beginning.
As for Yuki, they are managing to miraculously miss each other at every turn as usual. Cellphones, Banzai~, not that I use one.

Well, anyways, it was an interesting episode, but it felt a bit slow at a few parts. The glasses guy is as annoying as ever and bullying Misaki, but he got a bit of just desserts because his play was kind of ruined.
Anyways, anyways, looking forward to the next episode. This anime really is interesting.

Come to think of it, what happened with the Manager afterwords...?

Preview: I wonder if the anime plans to break every flag (other than Yuki's) after getting the protagonist to kiss them.

Ah-ah, here comes more stupid posts blabbering about Nice Boats...

[DanielSong39]

I'm interested in seeing this show... but only if there is a BAD ending.

So, do you think there is a fair shot of that happening?

Nah blood shed is very unlikely.
Maybe some bitch slapping and hair pulling

Nope, None, Nihil, Zero, Mu, Ling, arienai... Is what I feel, but as no one can predict the future, I'll just leave it as 1%.

[DanielSong39]

Nah, no one needs to die; I just want the guy to suffer a little and end up with no one at the end. I'm hoping that there won't be a forced romance just for the sake of making a "happy ending".

[TheFluff]

In some respects this show is even worse than the other terrible show we're subbing this season (Index), which is quite an achievement in some twisted kind of way. I haven't seen this much terribly convoluted dumb harem melodrama since I was around 13 years old and was watching cheap soap operas on television.

I've decided. Once I finished this thing, the entire stuff goes into the Recycle Bin asap, unlike the rest which goes into another drive.

It's just one level below dropping this thing altogether.

[DragoZERO]

Spoiler for Episode 9:

What happened with Yayoi?
What was the news that Yuki said?
What's the deal with Mana? Why did she even go to the festival?
Why did he say he loved Misaki? Why did he kiss her? Does he even mean it?
Where the hell did Akira come from? What was with his lame confession?



I think they just took a major nose dive here.

[Reckoner]

I actually liked this episode a lot, and it really adds to the development of our main character, Touya. When he kissed Misaki and told her that he loves her, it just goes to show the viewer how confused Touya really is. It is quite interesting. I wish this anime would not end with a Yuki/Touya relationship because it really does have no reason to survive as it is at the moment. But since this is anime, they always go for the most obvious pairings, even at the expense of suspension of belief.

This anime is the best airing this season at the moment next to Ride Back so far (Maybe tied with Toradora). Though I am sure the last episodes will make or break the show for me, 70% of anime endings leave me feeling unsatisfied.

[faust123]

I'll jump on the wtf bandwagon. I gave the show the benefit of the doubt for it's story telling choices but the last 5 minutes of this episode were INCREDIBLY forced, and the akira thing was just over the top ridiculous. The ep wasn't that bad until the end and I was actually expecting good things.

I will continue to watch because I don't think it's in the toilet yet and I still want to see what "happens".

PS - when misaki was having her flashback at the end and there was the scene with touya walking and then yuki pops our from behind him --- did any one else imagine flames surrounding yuki and an evil smile creeping up on her face ( get to work computer doods, I need a new gif :b )?

What was forced? And by the way, the whole theater heard the clatter that Misaki made...

[shouri]

I don't understand why people expect anime to be 100% realistic.

It's anime.
