Comment on Top 20 Most Anticipated Anime of Summer 2012 by Yamato:

while you are right in suggesting that Anonymous 1:23 doesn’t have to watch it, I do have to sympathize with that Anonymous. Aside from Muginami’s tits and one episode focused on the antics of a group of punch clock villains, I found Lagrange to be a fairly bland show, which leaves me to wonder how it could get a second season. Well, so long as it’s running, it could always turn out better… maybe.

  The thing is, both Yosuga no Sora and School Days were adapted from eroge, so the fact that their protagonists managed to score shouldn’t be too big of a deal. It just means that the anime producers were less willing to tone down the content for a televised adaption than most other anime based off of hentai. Now, if there were a harem light novel, manga, or anime that was NOT originally hentai, but still managed to feature a lead character going all the way, that would be worth mentioning.

  I don’t read light novels, but I kept seeing banner ads for this one. Sounded kinda interesting, though something which I’d have to wait for an adaption of some kind to really get into… until I heard who was composing the soundtrack. Oh… fuck… yeah! ^^

  Nintendo vs. PC…. yeah, I’d be all for having that console war.

  it might even take longer depending on how things go. I recall one time, he stated that the Skypeia arc lasted a helluva lot longer than he was intending. But yeah, he’s had a decade and a half of build-up now. Last thing we need is to rush him and have EVERYTHING resolved in a few measly chapters (or even one year, which is a respectable amount of time but still a small fraction of this series’ lifespan). I’ve seen enough anime gecko endings to know that doing this often leads to pisspoor …

  actually, he supposedly planned out the ending a long time ago.

  An irony must be noted in the fact that so many people bash on Nintendo, and yet one of their top system-sellers is a crossover featuring all of their IPs that these same people often claim to be too good for. Anyway, Smash Bros. still seems a good ways off, considering no release date has been announced at this point, so I’m hoping the Wii U’s sales pick up earlier than that. Pikmin 3 should certainly help this summer.
