Some anime start out well enough, but eventually the animators just stop caring and let obvious mistakes by. Some shows take a handful of episodes before the low budget or laziness kicks in, but in the case of Akikan they got the massacre going in episode two.
Granted, this could easily be put into the "Fail of your Day" category as it's failure is clearly obvious, but seeing this just made my day.
Yeah, the second season isn't so great. The opener for the first series was really cute though. ^_^
The OVA "Encore" I didn't think was too bad; it was more like they just added a couple of shows that would otherwise be fillers in the middle of the series to the end, for people who couldn't get enough. I really enjoyed it as a whole though. I would probably buy it if I could find it really cheap. My parents know that I like anime and support it and respect it as well, but I'm not sure how fond they would be of buying a show like that... ^_~
Oh sorry, I wasn't talking about Encore when I mentioned the OVA (I consider Encore part of the first season). The OVA is called Steel Angel Kurumi Zero, and it was never released in North America to my knowledge. It's basically just one episode and so incredibly bland that it's unbelievable.
Oh ok, now I know what you are talking about. Isn't it when they are supposedly just people and Kurumi gets a crush on a guy? I think there was also a new character in there, too, but I only saw part of the first episode. That wasn't really too good either.
I learned that a couple of dozen British soldiers were killed by lighting during the Boer War. I mean one or two but a couple of dozen! What were they doing, walking around with big metal poles or something?
Edit: Sorry I forgot to add the question mark at the end. Fail on my part.

Well, I don't mean to disparage the Albion or American Armed Forces but that was a pretty stupid thing to do. Everyone knows you'll get electrocuted if you are carry any large item made of metal, although it's pretty unfortunate that soldiers were the victims instead of average morons.

I think the number, and possibly percentage, goes up significantly when talking about average morons.

That reminds me of something. In the War of 1812, the British landed at Baltimore, marched to, and burned Washington D.C. However, they were prevented from further progress because a HURRICANE swept in that evening, putting out the fires and probably scaring the pants off the troops.
I'm also in the middle of watching Chobits (I'm on episode 12). I really like Steel Angel Kurumi, Chobits, and those types of shows. It's not even because of any fan-service or anything like that. If I actually wanted to get off to anime, I would look at some hentai, not watch shows like these. Hmm. I don't know why, but I really seem to eat up those types of shows...
I guess I post a little micro-review in this thread when I'm done. I really like it so far.
Well, I finished Chobits, and I enjoyed that as well. I don't know if I can compare it to Steel Angel Kurumi, because while they are really similar, I like them differently. I think I like SAK better, though.

A capella version of Don't Stop Believin'. To make up for the blasphemous cover I posted in the fail of the day thread.

This is the first ever anime/manga figurine I have ever purchased. Now I need to find a place to display it.
In the mean time, I just finished putting together another gif animation, 4.7MB worth of Neo-Kuro.
@Omnutia- Cabbits ftw!

This will probably be the first time you sob uncontrollably while listening to the Doctor Mario Theme.

Yes. Hyadain, thank you for all the remixes, especially the gay!robot masters ones.
I especially like the quickman one. It's really sped up.
