But we're not even talking about spoilers now. Their argument is "well people snicker and make vague references that are impossible to interpret when people start watching this show known for its craziness, so it's okay to snicker and make a reference that is easily interpreted to something that happens in the manga when people are watching an anime that doesn't even follow that storyline."

Who measures qualitative differences? Only you and Branduil and pizzaroll get to judge what's "good"?It's not pedantic. It's concerning qualitative differences, not trivial points of semantics. What I'm doing right now is pedantic.

This whole episode had me going "wut", at least the action scenes were good.
Well it was bound to happen eventually.
This is actually a huge spoiler. I have to admit that this scene inspired me to give a bit of praise I to the staff: I think it's commendable they made sure that Yuu never had a shadow, not even in episode 1, without calling attention to it.

Blood-C 12
I wouldn't call this a a great show or even a good show but I sure enjoyed it. It had moments that reminded me older stuff I used to watch that reveled in violence for the sake of violence. I'm curious how the movie turns out and am hopeful it's decent so my opinion of the series' quality can rise somewhat.
So I think I'll give Blood the Last Vampire another shot since I watched it not too long ago but don't remember much of it. How was Blood+ though?
Fantastic ending. I think I'd preferred if the show had maintained this sort of atmosphere all the way throughout rather than the monster-of-the-week-/school formula they had going in the first half although I suppose that was the intention. Fumito whipping out the gun and popping her took me by surprise. Possibly the only time I was surprised at all in this show but it still felt good.

I was stupid for expecting something between Saya and Tokizane. I was pissed that they made him out to be a complete douche.
Well to be fair he was pretty douchey anyhow. I was amused that Yuka ended up older than she was portrayed after I thought to myself multiple times that she was awfully mature.

And I just think they are the same, especially if you think the manga has nothing to do with the anime. That's probably where our disagreement is centred.
Boring and unnecessarily drawn out.
You're not disagreeing with us, you're disagreeing with the objective reality where A does not equal non-A.
I was taking more of an issue for pizzaroll's comment that because X and Y show isn't a good show, it isn't as much of a problem because they're not good shows when I think that's a terrible double standard this thread has had a problem with.

This is a good show. Though there have been more episodes that ended "To be continued" than there are episodes remaining. There could be a pretty cool ending.
It's kind of subtle (perhaps because the ED overshadows all things and is awesome), but it's also smart in a way, and I wonder if it will come back around.

One thing I've noticed about the episodes is that the endings are becoming less tidy in many ways. Earlier on, the disorders each character suffered from were a product of recent changes in circumstance, and could be overcome by some sort of inner growth and revelation. However, lately (most particularly in the last two episodes), the subjects of each episode end as damaged as they were when they started. Their problems are something they've lived with to some extent their entire lives, and while they might find success in some other way, they will still struggle with the disorder every day. For instance, Hiromi still seems completely unable to relate to his manager.

You... truly don't at all understand the concept of 'canon' do you. objective reality, wha?

I don't really want to start watching BRS again. I quit after the first episode.
The real problem this thread has is some hazing-like behavior in deliberately giving newcomers misleading recommendations to get them to watch bad shows.
But that's another issue I guess.
Canon is not relevant here. You're taking two things that are different and claiming they're identical. It is literally nonsense.
...ok.
We need some :cajun up in here.
Yeah, they even made a point to focus on her shadow-less foot and then on Mato's foot, just to show that Yuu's lack of shadow wasn't stylistic.

I hope everything crashes more deliciously from here on out. Along with more missing limbs!

No ones died yet from them.

That something happens in the manga? It makes just as little sense as boats and whatever. Both require that you look stuff up if you actually want to "spoil" yourself.
Well, damn.
At least someone cares about this show, I suppose.

If people didn't enjoy those shows, they wouldn't watch them to completion.
Now you're just being obtuse.
It's funny because not everyone has shadows all the time; animation inconsistencies are everywhere. This time was obviously deliberate because they made a point to show Mato's foot right after Yuu's, though.
One man's garbage is another man's Glass Fleet.
I mean, it's a neat little thing, and obviously deliberate in those shots. But at the same time it's not really surprising at all that they "tricked" people because not drawing shadows happens all the time in anime and it almost never means anything except "drawing shadows in this scene is waste of time and money."

Black Rock Shooter 05:
Well, not great, but it wasn't shit like the previous episodes were. The action was pretty nice too.

All the episodes seems pretty much the same to me. A bunch of stupid nonsensical crap happens in the real world while the BRS toys fight each other.

I think the end result is the same because posts like that are typically not for the original poster in the first place.
Are the shows that get recommended bad in my opinion? Some of them, yes.
Are they bad to everyone? Not necessarily.
I do think the recommendations come from a place of wanting to have someone else be entertained. You can call it hazing (I think to some extent you are right); however, you are making it seem malicious, which I think it incorrect.
Well, this episode was different for obvious reasons.
Spring'll save us all. Might as well get the gas out while the air's already funky.
I get it now. If you ignore the point of contention and everything else that is different, the situations are exactly the same. Amazing.

This season? Daily Lives of High School Boys. That's pretty much it, really.

Ano Natsu really is just stupid fun as a romcom. If you're into that genre, it's definitely worth a go.
I don't feel like there are any "must watch shows" this season, to be honest.
The ones I'm enjoying are Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou, Another, Rinne no Lagrange, and Mouretsu Pirates, each for different reasons. But none of them are must watch shows.

Natsume's Book of Friends Season 4 is the one show this season that I think matches that description, as well as continuing shows such as Chihayafuru and Gintama. I'm also having a good bit of fun with Ano Natsu de Matteru, Daily Lives of High School Boys, and Milky Homes Season 2, though I wouldn't call any of those must-watch.

Listen to me girls, I am your father!
Oh, nearly forgot, Chihayafuru is a must watch as well.

I need to watch this show. Pink-hair is a kuudere right? She looks like one and it's moe as hell.

Things that aren't different are the same. This is deep stuff.

True enough. I guess maybe this one was just better directed?
