I don't feel like it's really that deep, it's just obfuscated. The original LOST, if you will.
Eva is a good show but a lot of people misunderstand the reasons why.

I liked mine better tbh
Yeah, but that's a Japanese thing in general, not a Gintama thing.
Sakamoto's laugh is like an alien learned to laugh by reading comic books. AH HA HA HA HA.Holy shit.
So K-on would be better if they had to win a light music contest or their school would close down, right?
There are stakes involved in Hyouka's mysteries. That you don't find them relevant or interesting enough is on you and not on the series.
Would you enjoy it more?

We all know who the real alien who learned to laugh by reading is.
HA. HA. HAAA. HA HAAAAAAA. HAAAAAAAA HAAAAAAA HAAA HAAA
Is this a trap?

Toradora would be better if one of them was a ghost, right?
The music component is engrossing enough on its own. They try to write lyrics, create songs, have roadblocks, have concerts and other gigs, and other stuff. I would have liked a bit more training sequences where they practice more, but there is some significant effort put into the music side to make it somewhat engrossing. I think Beck did this better, but Beck was a much more serious look at trying to become a musician.
The earring episode had stakes? How about the one where Oreki is doing it just for his own curiosity?

Thats called an ojou-sama laugh.
one of the greatest things in anime tropism.

Toradora should've had a ghost version of that one tomboy goofy girl. Because she brought the whole show down and then it would've been a pattern with the author and ghosts.
Lol there's a whole youtube channel with nothing but ojousama laughs

The whole point of K-ON was that they weren't practicing, but eating cake and drinking tea instead, and anime fans loved them for it.

Oh god, here we go. lol
lol
Is it weird that the ojou-sama laugh pisses me off and turns me on at the same time?
That's a pretty big misunderstanding as to what K-On is all about.
(As Hito just demonstrated above me)
Yes? Not everything should be a matter of life and death.
They did practice though and they did work on the music side. We see sleepovers before the festival concert, problems coming up with new lyrics as Mio just kept doing animal related stuff, Ritsu wanting to switch to a new instrument as she was getting tired of drums, Yui practicing on her own every now and then, and Azunyan giving out practice pointers.
Stakes don't have to be out life and death, which is an extreme, but returning someone's earring isn't engrossing no matter how you cut it.

Noooooooo, don't do it.
I can't believe someone took the time to do that. lol

So what this is all telling me is to watch Hyouka immediately.

Go sportsball!
Tomoyo is the best "best-friend" character ever.
So basically you're content as long as a show throws you crumbs? Why doesn't Hyouka pass under this rubric?
Free! would have been.

I was rooting for Broncos. You should be able to tell just how fast I stopped watching.
If only.
Dear lord! I am so horny and angry right now. I need to go punch something and make out with it afterwards.
Hyouka slap fight.
Yes. Do it or Branduil will strangle you while you sleep. Rozen Maiden too while you're at it.
ohh man. Linkkkkk please!
Its grating on the ears yet reflects the confident power of a typically very elegant and beautiful girl. So yes it makes perfect sense.

Denver's loss has everyone festive, so naturally it's time to argue about Hyouka.

New threads garner a shit ton of traffic. I thought you knew this already.
Azusa was baffled by the horrifying view
"Just what is that? Is that thingnois she even human?"
"This is your task, Azusa." Ritsu held out one end of the chain and placed it in Azusa's small hand. "Make her talk, make her confess about her murder."
The pigtailed woman stood there, listening intently.
"Don't worry, if she wants to kill or make any sudden movement to you, the leash will tighten and slowly end her life. Or you just simply click the button here for the leash to work manually." Ritsu explained. "She's our biggest asset to solving the murder case that happened in the city recently, treat her well, yeah?"
The black-haired police beside Ritsu showed some administration paper from the jail the prisoner had been staying in to Azusa. It contained a photo and a little bit of information about the prisoner, except her name.
"Every three months we'll come and check up on you. If she shows good behavior, we'll take the chains off her, except for the leash," Ritsu cleared her throat, "Good luck, koneko-chan!"
Days went by, and now Hirasawa Yuithe prisoneronly still had the leash around her neck. This leash prevented her from doing anything harmful to Azusa. It was designed by the police, an automatic leash that was connected to the user's brain, torturing the user to death. Azusa had remained unharmed ever since. However, the prisoner remained passive around her, and Azusa was cornered about this simple yet never-ending case.
"I'm really sorry I didn't mean it "
Yui was aware that the leash was tightening around her neck by time she touched Azusa, but she didn't care. The woman was hurting because of her, andshe couldn't do anything. She was a prisoner, the subject and Azusa the detective who needed to solve the case.
"It is better for me not to say anything again huh?"

Corvo had a meltdown.

Playing both EDs in the same episode? Are you running out of material to do? I mean it was a pool episode so I'm surprised you just didn't burn a couple minutes of pool antics or whatever.

I even laughed at the Christian symbolism as a teenager, but I still adore Eva as one of my GoaTs for what it does as an SF/psychological horror.

They do run out of material. The last two episodes are filler.
