Japan doesn't only do Final Fantasy you know. The Tales series is ever improving. Demon's Souls and Dark Souls are very high quality. Xenoblade was extremely good.
'JRPGs' are not just one genre, and there's plenty of great stuff coming out of that industry.
The only people who think that Japan's game industry has gone downhill are those mainstream people who only know Final Fantasy and nothing else... and believe Mario and Zelda came from USA.
@01:14 JRPG isn't a genre though. :) It's a lazy term that some stupid journalists came up with a few years ago in order to poke fun at games like Final Fantasy, and it stuck.
Now it's used to stereotype 90% of the RPGS that come out of Japan. I bet you many people if asked would class Final Fantasy 10, Disgaea 3 and Tales of Vesperia all as 'JRPGs', but all three of them play in vastly different ways (FF is a console style RPG, Disgaea a strategy RPG and Vesperia an action RPG). That's the main reason why the term isn't any good as a genre label. :)
23:58, though I agree with you I think you got genre and franchise confused because a game could be categorized as more than one genre(ex: rpg fps) whereas JRPG IS a genre and therefore cannot be more than one genre or its sole purpose is defeated.
Four already announced by GoodSmile before the anime started. 2 nendos, already open for preorder, and 2 1/8,with no prototypes yet, of both Yozura and Sena.
it's ok to say that you really, REALLY, love the show and place your hopes on it.
but, another extremely different thing is to say that this show is the best in "many years" -as some anon above said, or that is the best of the season.
though i also find myself laughin a lot to this silly romantic comedy, it was very sad to see how much the studio dropped animation quality, after just one chapter. no matter how much you love this show, you cannot deny this.
i just hope this show earns all the recognition fans are giving to it --with a lot of anticipation, btw
or i fear that this will end up like the despicable k-on franchise.
grats, you graduated from being a simple perv to a major perv. next is master lvl which you don't need to look at porn and hentai since you can imagine all sorts of ero just by looking around you :D
You see the first one?It`s more sex appeal than unfold her pantsu!
It's also left unclear if she's wearing any...
Title for this post should be "Tomodachi ga Sukunai no-pan gamers anime"
Its also unclear where most of her body is. Thats terrible art in action.
ORLY? Just wait till you get to see another "Hideyoshi" gender in that anime
uhh there is a hideyoshi character...
it's the maid...
whenever i see hideyoshi i think of toyotomi no hideyoshi then get confused. Then i recall baka no test
I wish the episodes would come out faster because I can't get enough of Sena <3
Best anime of the season! I sure hope it gets more than just the 12 episodes listed at ANN.
This, best of the season? C'mon...
Dat ass of the best character Yozora !
I find my eyes are also drawn to Sena's breasts...
Ooh, a fellow meat-lover!
me too I love MEAT FTW
Niku.
excessive meat is beautiful!
Oh, the cow.. sure her too.
I have to admit: This turned out to be way better than expected.
Nagato or Nozomi(Kanokon).., you decide.
Ah well, *runs to find sub*
Im a Yozorafag!
Interests me.
The lips really bug the shit out of me. It sorta destroys the cuteness of their faces and just looks awkward.
NEEDS MOAR YOZORA AND LESS COW
seconded

Gaming in japan is a bit meh, boring mmo, dumbass rpgs. Then there is the whole guitar hero style games, which I don't really much have played.
WoW dork?
monster hunter is neither one of these, and sell millions locally. again, a shame capcom chosed crappy 3ds for the two upcoming opus
I'm pretty sure PSP or/and PSV will get their ports of MH4. Same happened with MH3.
I could have let it go when you said boring mmo's.
But... dumbass rps?! Oh welll your loss.

Only in Dark Soul can you have fun dying.
How is this relevant to an article about an anime?

I think you need to look up the definition of "genre".
JRPGs have gone downhill but there are a few rare standouts. He is mostly right, FF12 and FF13 were disasters and FF11 was boring as hell.
why do I get the feeling that female characters in this series will have PVC figures in the future.
Actually they already do...but only as Nendoroid by Good Smile so far.
there are also two GK's by i forgot who made them, but they are for the two main girls.
agree PVC FIGURE IS A MUST

2nd episode make me laugh till my stomach hurt and tears fall from my eyes this anime is one of the most funny show of the last many years I <3 it :P
Can't wait till the part when they catch Sena playing eroge. Also, one of my fav artists, now you see why.
highly anticipating the trap!
c'mon, guise!

nuff said.
Am I the only one who thought it looked like they were about to make out in picture 21? I can;t be the only one...

Which one of the girls is a trap? lol
my most favorite anime this season
