While some characters bordered on the fantastic, it still put the protagonists in a world where they were limited by what they can do simply by the rules of society around them.

except you know, the main protagonist had his super OP robot limbs that could do anything.
black bullet was straight crap, it tried to cram too much into 12 episodes and ended up with godawful pacing.

After all, I enjoyed it, and critically breaking it down would be unfair, because 1) it had not tried to plunge into a deep plot yet.  When it does, I will be more critical.  2) Being too critical would be dishonest to how I liked it.

u wot m8
It doesn't take a genius to see that there was supposed to be a "deeper plot" but the writers sucked so much at their jobs that they elected to not explain it and shoehorned bits and pieces of it into the last three episodes.

This show was stupidly inconsistent in its tone and characterization. everyone seems to like that one part with Hatoko's outburst even though it was completely out of place and was also forgotten about after 10 minutes.

i'm thinking of continuing "Is the order a rabbit?"

any more good slice of life anime i should consider?

btw don't mention nichijou please, it's on hold for me.

Not necessarily.  I would argue that since the line of work would require constant movement and would require civil sec. to be readily available in the times of crCIA, the pacing more or less fit the characters' work.

The limbs were *nearly* indestructible, if you forgot when his robo arm broke.

1) Was not out of place.  If you paid attention to the episodes leading up to it, it had been setting a context all along.

2) If they intended it, but it didn't happen, then it didn't happen.  There's no point in rating the "ifs".

Has anyone here seen Kiss x Sis? Did anyone else find it as hilarious as I did?

It was that silly "innocent" lewd hilarious.
10/10 it's ok.

the not-for-tv one is even better imo

..."fitting the characters' work" doesn't excuse stuff writing. The story was still rubberbanding all over the place.

1) You'd never be able to tell because the entire show focused on trash-tier redhead the whole time. Not that it matters if it had buildup because it was still ignored in the end because the character writing loving sucked

2) Except it did happen, albeit half-assedly. They wasted an entire episode and a half on it and nothing came of it.

Hidamari Sketch, Non Non Biyori, and Kiniro Mosaic.
Pani Poni Dash for more Nichijou-esque slapstick (if Nichijou were on crack)
Sayonara Zetsubou-Sensei for something more cynical.

whenever anyone says a ecchi was hilarious it means they jerked to it

The focus also goes where you put it.  If you missed the cues then sorry.

No.  They didn't write the full extent of the intended depth, and therefore I am saying that since the full depth didn't happen, it would be in poor taste to judge it by that.  Like if you are grading essays, you don't grade it by what it could have been.  You grade it by what's there.

I have finally decided to watch Katanagatari. Will start it tomorrow.

can confirm that Black Bullet is one of the absolute worst shows i've seen and i've only seen 4 episodes. stuffty LN adaptations are stuffty LN adaptations

but rentarou is pretty fun in dengeki fighting climax

How the hell do you come up with this bullstuff? The reason I bring it up at all is because it's there in the first place. If Hatoko's outburst wasn't out of place (it totally was, clearly a stuffty last ditch effort to make her non-character seem important), the story bullstuff was because nothing loving happened with it. Why is it even there?
