Indeed I haven't.

Chitanda's sparkling eyes can be mesmerizing, thought her curiosity is overbearing.
So far so good, the show keeps being fun and interesting. I did feel bad for Houtarou in episode 11.
Speaking of episode 11, there's a question about it that I hope someone can answer. During the exchange between Irisu and Houtarou toward the end, when Houtarou basically asks her

Speaking of episode 11, there's a question about it that I hope someone can answer. During the exchange between Irisu and Houtarou toward the end, when Houtarou basically asks her
if what she told him previously were all lies, she answer by saying something like "those words weren't what I really think", followed by "whether you consider them lies or not is up to you". I don't really understand this passage, or at least I'm not 100% sure on the meaning. Is she trying to half deflect part of the blame for deceiving him? Is she saying yeah, what I told you isn't what I actually think, but it's up to you to consider that line of thinking a lie?
Also, from the chat exchanges, it's apparent to me that the sempai Irisu talked with was Houtarou's sister. Given that she has no qualms with her brother being used like that, am I right in interpreting her logging off like that just because Irisu admitted she lied to her?
In any case, no matter the motivations, I ended up not liking much both Houtarou's sister as well as Irisu at the end of this episode.

What happened with Kampfer?

My basic understanding of Kampfer leads me to believe that the MC's male and female personas split apart and that girl won. Please tell me that's right.
Good enough.

Neither of them are that dense. They just aren't really characters since they have virtually no defining traits. Green Green dude's friends completely steal the show.
Yep, same here.
But green green was only 13 chapters and in the end he tasted the girls and choose the best.
For my the worst is Kanokon I love the character dising of the girls but I hate the MC

You just tune that guy out so you can focus on the big butts and fluffy tails, truly a Xebec masterpiece.
If you haven't, you shouldn't.
Then you wouldnt experience the wonder of Charles. Life would be empty.
Lol I was thinking the exact same thing.

A nice episode dealing with Noa's insecurities and her role within the team dynamics. Character art was quite nice too, pleasantly rounded. Ota is really getting on my nerves though; his switch is stuck on "confrontational". I wish he'd shut up sometimes.

Doujin has the protag split into two sides, who then have sex, and according to hentai rules the female side gets the tiebreaker in which side "won" from both accepting their roles.

The twist is he's an acting, maniacal scheming villain reminiscent of Light Yagami. He's just pretending to be that dense.
Eh, it's still better than the garbage MAL has become if only because I can look at my list and actually recognize the titles. MAL fails the primary test of a cataloging website.

I use a greasemonkey script to deweeab the titles. Works well enough.
Yup, even by movie rating standards that's a step beyond the normal fare.

Yep -- I actually went to go search for them again to reinstall them in a new browser, so here are the links for anyone else wondering:

Same here. Plus, having a prettied up list makes up at least good to look at.
This..I don't even.....what?
D:
I only watched 3 chapters in my first try because of my hate towards the MC and I don't know anything else about the show, but my interest is returning looking at the doujin collection of shikishima Guntool.
is it worth it?
holy shit!
manga or LN?

I don't think I've ever seen a show just blatantly break its own rules without a care in the world. I mean "how is he still alive!" is a common occurrence in fiction but most works at least try (though they don't always succeed) to explain their plot twists in a way that makes sense in the context of the story's universe. Here, things just happen and there is never any justification as to why. Not even an attempt. Like not even "Heart of the Cards", or "SHONEN HEARTO" or "Secret Super Mode that had been teased for like 50 episodes/chapter" or whatever. Just 'cause. REASONS. The clincher for me was:
"Evil dude, why are you so evil?"
"I dunno.......REASONS? I forgot"
Wait........WUT?
This level of writing wouldn't even pass grade for a high school writing assignment. How did it get published? How did it get turned into a TV show? I.......I......can't. I........don't understand

Most successful show of that season!
Hey guys. Can a friendly awesome member of AnimeGAF shoot me a CR 2-Day Pass through PM? My account bounced and I need the animez.
On the not groveling in the dirt side, Space Brothers. 6 Episodes in. "What the hell? How why and what is this show moving on 70+ episodes". Honestly, I'm watching it because I want to know how something like this has survived that long.

If you really need some Xebec-tier fanservice with the addition of animal ears and tails I don't see why not!
I still need to watch the OVA because there was one gif I saw that was so yfoghvvdg that I couldn't resist.

Looks like those bozos won't get their revenge match after all.
It's functional, but having to use a script to make it usable just proves the site itself is broken, not on accident, but intentionally. I don't want to patronize a website that deliberately obfuscates its intended purpose for the sake of an imbecilic "principle."

It's a doujinshi, manga. Not really that notable. I can PM you it later.
Can you show me how to update/replace the dropbox URL in the script?

I can understand that. I'd use Hummingbird more if I didn't find its UI and look to be a headache.

That was my major beef with a lot of the show. I mean I had other beefs, which I won't spoil, but for the first half of the show that and Asuna suddenly losing her balls the moment she got Kirito's were probably my chief complaints. Then Beater. Which will never, ever be a good term and would never, ever happen in real life. I refuse to believe people would ever go along with that.
But the "IDKLOLWTF" motivation of the villain and the way Kirito and Asuna are super chill with that was definitely a big problem for me.
Hopefully they will make it less bloated and more functional over time. They at the very least are pretending to care about what their users want, so that's a huge improvement over My"weeaboo is a slur"AnimeList.
I tried to complain about it in the IRC but they all called me a wingey pants and to take it like a man.
Yeah my main complaints would be about the time it takes to add and rate shows compared to MAL. I like the scores working like movie ratings better than out-of-ten, it's technically the same scale but it communicates better the idea that 3 stars is still decent whereas people think 6/10 is a failing grade/bad video game.

That we get an episode about an insurance investigator looking into the team's claims for collateral damage is why I like Patlabor so much in comparison to other mecha series.
Also, just when I'm complaining about Ota the series takes time out to humanize him. It's like they read my mind.
