I mean, I get KLK to Utena, but not Heartcatch to GL.
You mentioned that you got some of the manga volumes to Five Star Stories, did you ever watch the movie?
Actually, this reminds me now about when is the Hanasaku Iroha movie coming to BD/DVD.
I read most of it. I looked to see more what you had to say about the movies I'm interested in seeing or had seen. Of the two movies I have seen I have to say I quite like Garden of Words and it might be my favorite Shinkai film. As far as an AOTY vote I'd say it will rank quite high for me.
The other movie I've seen of those is Evangelion 3.0. I'd have to agree with yourself and many others that it was a let down at least upon an initial viewing of it. Later after 4.0 comes out I suppose I'll watch it again and see how it compares or works with the Rebuild movie series as a whole.
Makoto was maybe unassuming but I don't really recall him being shown as upstanding even from the beginning. If so, then that point is dashed pretty quickly.
Thinking back to the first episode and the, "if you take a picture of someone with your cellphone and no one sees it for three days you'll be together", thing made me wonder how that stuff even happens. I always thought that was dumb. Who makes up, or better yet, believes in that? It sounds more like some legend from feudal times but obviously there were no cellphones then. Just always thought that kind of urban legend thing was silly.

Yeah they went strong with the Yuri that episode.

As the OP points out, it came out on the 16th.
This is highly relevant to my interests.
Don't worry! The actual episodes actually make sense so far!
Ah, the OP lists that kind of thing too, that's good, thanks. After posting that I just quickly went to Amazon.jp to look and saw that it had just come out.
Machine-Doll ep.3
Admittedly I got impatient and read ahead a bit in the manga for this arc, and the show hasn't made me lose complete interest yet, so I'll see how they do next week and make my final call after that.
Arpeggio ep.3
Ahahaha what the hell at that
... that felt really out of place.
CG is still kinda jarring but not bad enough for a drop yet.

Takao fantasy scene

I mean, I loved it for how unbelievable it was, but it was unbelievable. I usually sit quiet while I watch anything, but this was too much, I must have said WTF at least 4 times.
Arpeggio of Blue Steel 3
Okay episode. After 2 action centered episodes, a bit of world exposition doesn't hurt. Next one should be good. Fightoooo!

Well, thinking about what tactics her captain would make her go through...it's enough to make a weapon girl all flushed!
It's sad to read people like this turn of direction for the series.
Yeah, Kyousougiga 00 is like if someone took all of the symbolism out of FLCL and crossbred it with Alice In Wonderland.

The answer to this is simple: Raishin is a harem series protagonist, so he cannot be allowed to choose a girl for good. I mean, if he actually did make Yaya his girlfriend, there's no way any of the others would have any kind of a chance anymore, not with how possessive Yaya is! So, he must be uninterested in her, because it keeps the series going with the relationship element pretty much locked in stasis, while the rest of the plot moves forward and more girls gradually get added to the harem over time.
If Raishin was allowed to like Yaya, none of that would be possible, and they'd have to actually, I don't know, come up with an actual plot on the relationship side of things in addition to the tragic-drama side of things that the main plots of each arc generally focus on. And we can't have THAT, surely! Lots of tragedy is okay, but actually moving forward teh central relationship? Hah, no.
It's just generic bad anime writing illogic, mostly.
Now, of course it's fair for Raishin to not like Yaya; I'm not saying that he must love her. But by having her intensely love him, to a yandere degree, while he doesn't show much interest but doesn't completely dissuade her either, does a good job of keeping the relationship plot locked up long-term, which is, I'm sure, why it was written that way.
Also, if he was to have a relationship with his machine doll people would probably look at him even more askance than they already do... but I doubt that'd be a reason for him not to do that if he really wanted to. Finally though, Yaya's great, but Char is probably best girl, (minor spoiler for later in the series)
even if she does some questionable things sometimes.
Could you explain for those that can't be arsed to watch it?

The first episode was a lot more chill. Lots of shots of the scenery with relaxing soundtrack, characters walking through it, laid back dialogue, waxing poetic about the country side. Ep 2, with a chunk of it actually set in school, was a lot more of the prototypical cute girls doing cute things.

I don't think it makes sense for Onada to join the bicycle club just yet. When he's been so set on restarting the anime club, and so apprehensive of athletic clubs, it's going to take more than one race to make him change his mind.
Sucks to be you I guess?
While the first episode had impressive visuals, it felt really, really slow. I for one am glad they picked up the pace and took a different approach with it.
No, I just got the volumes I was missing on Ebay today, so I'll read those and then watch the film.
Sounds like it devolved into the usual unsubstantive pile of pandering dreck for the usual anime fan and their complete lack of standards. rip
But it's the same approach as everything else in existence.

I had steak subs for dinner, so it was appropriate to watch...
Picky people everywhere! And a recurring element of having one of the main characters hate a certain type of vegetable which will relate to how they get Hana to eat something. Although Hazuki had it easy in comparison to Onpu, who might as well nearly died from eating green peppers. That's how much Onpu hates green peppers.
I don't get how green peppers get so much hate though, even if green peppers aren't relevant to this particular episode.

It's confirmed for 25, no?
Yeeeeeeah. As a hook, this actually decreased my interest in the series.
It's right in the synopsis too. Kinda wish I'd read it beforehand.

Love Lab 13
Serious drama still isn't the strongest point of this series, but it worked better here than the drama moments of earlier episodes because we've had more time to grow attached to the characters and because it was a personal relationship issue instead of the school being overly strict. The final confession was cathartic, and I'm glad things resolved in a natural way afterwards, reaffirming the bonds of friendship which have been at the heart of Love Lab, instead of the characters being stupid about it. The show went out on a good note that felt conclusive in a way, which is always a difficult thing to find for slice-of-life 4koma adaptations, so I have to give some praise to the scriptwriter there.
In summary, despite the couple duller stretches, the cast and the comedy are gold and the overall pacing engaging, which made this a very worthwhile watch.

Log Horizon will be the most well-liked simplistic anime of the season. If you hate it you have no soul.
Truer words are rarely spoken. I've honestly been surprised by how much I've liked it so far.
