Finished Kashimashi the other day. At last I find something to somewhat satiate my fix for shoujo-ai. It was even a gender bender, too. It focused a little too much on the drama versus the actual shoujo-ai elements to completely give me my fix, but it was still pretty good and I definitely enjoyed it. The world needs more girls love anime.

I didn't really mind Kirito. Sure, he wasn't exactly the greatest character, but this mc in Accel, I just can't stand him. He's just one giant fault. I cannot think of one redeeming quality he has. Anything that might be deemed good about him, he does in such an annoying and pathetic fashion that I just find it incredibly irritating. I find this show getting less and less enjoyable as it goes on. Not just because of the mc, he's always been pathetic. I really enjoyed the first 8-12 episodes or so, but it seems to be going downhill a bit as it progresses.

Saw a post on reddit and thought it was an interesting question.
What anime do you find most visually stunning? Not just a unique art style that you like, but a show that you would consider to be eye candy essentially (Think Avatar or Life of Pi for example).
I'm forgetting a few, but here are some that particularly stuck out to me as good looking anime.
Tasogare Otome x Amnesia
- Probably my favorite art style of any show I've seen. This show was super vibrant and color and just an all around awesome looking anime.
Howl's Moving Castle
- I don't think I've seen any show that has come anywhere close to having as much detail in every scene as this show does. I found myself just looking at the backgrounds being amazed at how much was crammed in there. That aside, it was a beautiful looking movie and it has aged extremely well. Hell, it looks a lot better than a lot of the stuff that comes out today.
Redline
- Pretty much obligatory to list this show. It's the Avatar of anime essentially lol.
5 Centimeters per Second
- 5 Wallpapers per Second lol
Bakemonogatari
Death Billiards
- Quite a visually stunning anime
Fate/Zero
Hanasaku Iroha
Summer Wars
Fate/Zero and I also enjoyed the quality of Sword Art Online.
Now go watch the Evangelion movies. The third out of four total coincidentally came out on BD yesterday. ;P
As for beautiful anime...
Mononoke - both stunning and unique, absolutely one of its kind.
Hyakka Ryouran Samurai Girls - full of all kinds of eye candy and beautiful animation(though second season seems to look worse - might just be my impression though.).
Seirei no Moribito - breathtaking combat, beautiful scenarios and characters.
-monogatari - no need to say much, I guess.

I used to do that, and then my computer hated me cause they were all 5MB+ images.

i'm leaning towards the first one but i kinda like both of them. and will only get one.
Nothing wrong with that, it's just not a thing for me
21 hours until new Hataraku Maou-sama
neeeeeed..
BTW. what does everyone else think of Karneval? I was excited about watching the show, but the MC is just so terrible that I can't watch it anymore.. he seems so stupid and lame. (guy with white-ish hair)
Well, finished Tamako Market. Cute little show. Now I really want to try some Mochi. The ED is pretty catchy, too.
Reading the reviews, I'm kinda surprised people are so harsh. I went in expecting a cute, plotless show, and I got what I expected. Seems like most people were disappointed KyoAni didn't put out a masterpiece...
