Teppei is awesome. Got teary eyed at the end but Food Reviver is possibly my favorite character type in the anime.

You really want to start this AGAIN?
Yeah, I'm kind of like that too. I mean I will finish something if I've already watched a good chunk of it, but I'm not going to spend hours writing essays on why it's good or why the directing is godly or whatever.
I have always been a "sum of its parts" kind of guy. Nothing is perfect and I will either ignore the flaws or not notice them if there's another scene that I really like. If half an episode is shit and half is awesome, I'm going to remember the awesome part no matter how shitty the rest was. It takes a REALLY bad scene for it to retroactively ruin the whole show.
I don't see Chibi and Cosmos, where do they fit?
But pink sugar heart attack
Seriously though we should all talk about how Mercury is the best. Everyone else is useless.
Well its only fair to give her some chance of competing with Ami.
Pfft. That nerd is no competition.
I would push for Ami but it's Minako's turn for the spotlight. Minako also has the benefit of being top tier across mediums!

The moment of truth is here and it sure was... something. I honestly don't know what to think of this. I mean on one hand it seems to mean nothing is taboo as long as it's implied rather than outright shown. On the other, the censorship could reach "it's okay, I can see their parachutes" level of stupidity from time to time. I mean
I don't know what this means for the Chimera Ant arc in the unlikely even it makes it that far, but I suppose I'll keep watching for now.
Also, Johaness was A LOT more intimidating in the original anime.

where did Killua get a bag so fast? Does he just keep one around whenever he needs to rip someone's heart out? I didn't think assassins would be super hygienic.

The question is, why are you watching a CR talk show?!

Asks questions so Ezalc doesn't have to
Infinite Stratos 11:
First lets having her own mech go to her head and Ichika is hurt. Not that he was particularly skilled to begin with, but First blames herself and has to be slapped silly by China to get back on her feet. They ignore orders and go to fight the berserk mech.
Infinite Stratos 12:
Nice fight to end the series, though hinted that it was all set up by First's bunny sister to let her make her debut. Ichika moves to kiss the wrong girl (read: not Charlotte) and is set to be punished for it.
Overall it was enjoyable as it had good artwork, animation, and Charlotte, but otherwise it's a pretty forgettable show. Except for Charlotte.

Mardock Scramble 1 - WTF. 50 minutes to get to the interesting bits then a total cliffhanger. Not to mention that they took every opportunity (and created many more) to show some girl naked. Seems like they knew that the first 50 minutes are mediocre and they chose nudity over action. I don't expect much from anime these days, but this was still disappointing.

There's too many strange implications about such an activity.

Infinite Stratos OVA:
Starting with Charlotte. I approve of this beginning.
And then England had to show up. I disapprove of this turn of events. And then Germany, China, and First show up. I further disapprove of these events.
OVA would have been 100x better with just Charlotte. Actually, the entire show would be better with just Charlotte. She's cuter, smarter, and more genuine.
And with the entire 2nd half surrounding First, the OVA became a snore.

really just the four four minutes excluding the craptacular op is worth watching. (inb4 'none of is is worth watching) basically the DAT FIDGETING, DAT CHAR, and then the faux cakegasm.

I see you came to Mardock Sramble with the wrong mindset. I've explained, at some length, exactly what it's about! I tried to make it pretty clear what to expect: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=30497077&postcount=19439
I can reason with that. Your stance is fine. It's those with a mind completely closed, who refuse to even check any of the newer material out, see if it even tickles their fancy. I've met at least a person per medium who'll preach that nonsense and it's never made any sense.
His pimping of it is the equivalent of suggesting that you tiger balm your ballsack. Spare your babymaking ability and say no to peer pressure.

Is that what I'm doing? I assumed explaining how bad something is would make people want to avoid it, but it seems to attract them even more!
As we know, you are the arbiter of such things. I guess it's official then.

This is why you get people saying something like BakaTest is the best anime comedy in 10 years or whatever. lol

Agreed. It was all downhill after that. :-/

Some of those traits, in isolation, aren't so bad. I suppose all together they look a little bit worrying but I wouldn't be too sure.
I mean, if you use such wide definitions, totally normal posters like Dredsden might sound like psychopaths!
I've basically come to the conclusion that if you dislike something, there's like an 80% chance I'll enjoy it. Different strokes, I'm all that is wrong with anime, etc. etc.

There aren't really that many good OP's this season.
Idolmaster
Un-Go (but the ending is better)
None of the rest are really worth mentioning.
But there was good animation, right? It wasn't as bad as Limit Cycle, right?
Yes, but you hate Goro as much as he hates his father? That's the real question.
Who said I'm watching or have watched it? They have it proudly displayed on their page where I shamelessly stole the link from, check the images URL.
And yet I fear watching a live action talk show with girls dressed in Sailor Moon garb would probably carry less negative implications than many of my other hobbies, so much so that I'm half tempted to claim having watched it.

Wow, really? I mean, I'd heard of the manga, but I'm surprised they're animating it.
Maybe DEEN will produce it as well! Oh wait, flash animation studio. Oh dear.
Gundam 0080 is the best OVA and ∀ Gundam is the best series.
