It's out! xD

Started airing April 8.

I haven't seen it yet... since I don't understand a word of Japanese. I can't wait for the subs though!

The opening is absolutely hypnotizing.

I wonder if the dance will reach Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu levels...

Hirano Aya's in this again. xD And it's also directed by Hiroshi Yamamoto.

Has anyone seen it yet? D: I want to know if it's any good... I'm already in love with it due to the opening.

Actually... the commercial made me love it...

So simple... yet great. Well... at least to me.

Hey, don't be mean... I had to wait longer for someone to reply in my "Blood+" thread.

I saw the opening and it was hypnotic o_o... Very weird... So what's it about? School girls in a dance club or something? Or do they just break into song and dance for the hell of it? (Lol)

I'm gonna be honest and say I've never heard of it...

Whuh? ...I'm just gonna assume you mean "weird"... Then yes, it does look a bit... "odd". I wonder if my sister would like it? She's like... 20, but she likes Hello Kitty all of the sudden.

Weirdest thing... my sister listens to Rammstein and loves Hello Kitty... Oh well, I am a 16 year old boy who has a stuffed teddy bear named "Pooky" and plays Kirby, while also loving weapons and Silent Hill...

Red Frost wrote:So what's it about?

"Portrays the lives of several school girls attending a Japanese high school with a very loose humor tone. The main heroine is Konata Izumi, an athletic and intelligent girl who, despite these attributes, is not in a sports club, and her grades remain low. Her laziness at school is due to her love for anime and video games, and is not interested in much else. The serialization began with the four main characters in their first year of high school: Konata Izumi, Kagami Hiiragi, Tsukasa Hiiragi, and Miyuki Takara. As the story progresses, they move onto their second and third year."

Whether it's interesting or not... I have no clue. But no, it's not about dancing last time I checked.

Sounds like an anime about average teen life with problems and humor thrown in. I can't think of any anime that I've seen that's like that without something paranormal... (Yu Yu Hakusho, Card Captors, Bleach, etc)...

To be honest, I don't think it's something I'd watch... sorry. The dancing thing was kinda funny, though.

But, I guess you were looking for opinions about the anime... I do understand how openings can make you like something. I fell in love with the Blood+ opening and closing.

Ya, I'll agree with the average school life thing. Looks kinda fun in a way. It's kinda like an anime about slackers from the lil bit I read on the wiki page!!

Red Frost> xDD I think that's exactly what it's about. I'm not sure if it'll be paranormal though... Doesn't seem like it. Although then again, Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu didn't seem that way either. =_=

hawthorneluke> Yep! Started airing April 8. :3 There are 24 episodes... or 26. I forget.

Indeed. It's quite stupid though... but I like it. .__.

Zer0> Heh... maybe.

DragonLord> Ah cool. I wonder if I can find the manga somewhere...

---

The opening... at 0:07 it sounds like they're saying "I buy sausage". O_O

The dance is so much harder than Hare Hare Yukai. It's so quick. x___x

I find it quite ironic that my favorite character from this series (although it'll probably change since I don't know the characters all too well yet) is named Tsukasa. .__. But she's so cute. >w< Tsukasa and Kagami are my favorites for now~

Yeah, totally in love with this series. I downloaded Sleeping Forest's subs this monday, and LOLed my ass off. x3 (Seriously, they spent five minutes discussing how they eat food, totally random) Downloading AFK's sub right now.

And indeed, the OP IS hypnotizing. :0

Rental Daughter · Post by **Rental Daughter** » Thu Apr 12, 2007 1:30 am

Ah really? I still couldn't find the subs anywhere.
And AFK subbed it already? O__O
Now I really need to find it. DD:

I saw it raw though... well at least the first half.
Didn't understand a word, but I found it funny when...
(Oh I forgot her name... the blue haired one...
Has a "-dako" in it or something. xD)
... when she was eating that bread thing and the cream kept coming out.
That was the only funny scene since I didn't understand anything. XD
Except for the word 'cream'. That made sense.

I'm trying to dance it. XDDD
It's hard... the moves are too fast.
Faster than Hare Hare Yukai. D:

Oh, btw, is it just me or do they say "Let's get cherry pie!" in the OP? 8D
Aku heard "I like sunshine!" too. xD

Bulletcatcher · Post by **Bulletcatcher** » Thu Apr 12, 2007 1:42 am

I buy sausage! xD

Mellow Grunty> I heard "Let's get cherry pie!" too! 8DD
"I like sunshine"? Is that for the "I buy sausage" part?

Bulletcatcher> That was random. XD

xDD Nice!

Sounds like some strange conversation or something along with random things though. O_o

DragonLord · Post by **DragonLord** » Thu Apr 12, 2007 9:26 am

It's a verbal colage!! Seriously.. looks like they took all the words that might have anything to do with eachother and threw them together

i said about subbing this to the ex leader of kuro-hana (who sub death note), seeing as he wants to sub some crap at the moment. he started on some other anime, but i'm not too sure what his thoughts were about subbing this tbh lol. but if those groups that are doing it now (and probably more) aren't too slow, i guess it won't matter

i should have seen the first ep by the end of today ^^
