Arpeggio of Blue Steel 8
Is it just me, or is there a definite harem vibe going on here? Didn't expect that from a science-fictiony naval war show. But maybe I should really start expecting it from every anime.
Regardless, I'm digging this show a lot more than I probably should.

It's not you ...
and they kinda need "a fleet" if the cast wishes to solve this very complicated conflict.
Besides , it's not a harem vibe ( yet ) just a love triangle. Who knows what the future holds.

Tokyo Ravens Episode 8 "cHImAirA DanCE: -Half-Ogre-"
Perhaps one of the reasons why this anime is in my top three of the season, Bakatora, and Baka-touji, powerful episode.

That Lambda. Pretty nice character developing episode for Ragna as well.

This show has just become lame. Wet blanket MC has pretty much no personality at this point. Lacking much emotion the events that play out all just feel extremely dull with the straightforward and lackluster production, and the contrivances just keep piling up.

Huh? What did I say? Did I screw up again? :(
I haven't seen this episode and don't even know what happened in it but as god is my witness, when I saw this post:
I new this post was coming instinctively:
It's good to know that death and taxes aren't the only things in life one can be sure about <3

You're missing a piece of the puzzle there. Do You Remember Love is like an in-universe retelling, but the same is true for the original series as well. According to Kawamori, all Macross productions are basically tv or movie versions of the actual events of the Macross universe, which is why they don't match up perfectly, and later sequels pick and choose elements from previous adaptations, rather than sticking to a single version. None of them are meant to be the real truth, just different takes on events which will never be directly known by the audience.

Oh man... you are going to love this series and there's plenty to go through if you have access to the whole thing. I would have told you to watch Cat's Eye before starting this but its been like 15 years since I've last seen that series and I remember it having one abortion of a subbing but the content was still good and really accents the City Hunter series nicely. Also be sure to watch the Angel Heart only after you watch every single OTHER(!) City Hunter related content you can find. Doing this will help you decide whether or not you are willing to accept Angel Heart as canon or not.
Bonus unrelated anime to watch if you still want that City Hunter swollen-balls-bad-ass feel: Crying Freeman.
They might if you tweeted about it.
I knew we shouldn't have spoiled the ending!

I just did. lol
(I have no followers?!)
You can't spoil something that's hundreds of years old!
That series sort of declines as it goes along (although I really liked 6). Just comical how any girl that shows up wants a piece of Freeman's dick.
Now the internet will never watch it because it's ruined.

Whoa... coming off of dropping the original White Album for being just as you described, I would have agreed with you had I not watched the first 8 episodes. They've gotten better almost on an exponential curve with 7 being the absolute high of just anime drama viewing in general. Episode 8 was a natural segment and an excellent palette cleanser for the shit storm to come. I've (and I'm sure some others) have considered ending their series here because we all feel that what you are describing the show as, while certainly isn't what it currently is, is eventually what it will become. That makes me sad

That and then seeing the hoops they jump through to attempt to grant it legitimacy is (un-ironically) my favorite part of the story arc

Eh so far White Album 2 has been maybe too lax in its atmosphere, but I can't say I was ever bored until the last episode when the sense of drama had gone down since there was almost no reaction to the evens of episode 7 and besides
everything was basically status quo.
I will admit the MC has started to become boring, and like I mentioned in my episode 8 review Touma's semi denial tsundere personality was appealing prior to episode 7. Episode 8 it was annoying. Hopefully it gets better. I would actually applaud if the show brought a bit of excitement now.

I think spoilers are generally acceptable as long as the particular media had its impact in society as a whole already. Possibly already finishing its run: Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Star Wars, Dragon Ball Z, are all things that have been viewed by just about everyone who cared about it at that point.

whoops, I think I might have spoiled prehistory for someone.

I heard that worked out. It took a long, long, long time for the Author to set up the solution to it, but I hear it was quite the payoff in the end.

No one cares about that other part.
I dunno man, the incest part was pretty fucked up.

So much spoiling tonight , i'll have to retreat at a safe distance.

Yeah, the overall production values took a dive with this episode but it acted as a decent leading to the events of the first OAD series. Speaking of which, I wanna rewatch them right now but someone might slap some subs onto the BD's before the next episode airs. :<

It is indeed of the very good variety.
Haha, just a few days ago I had some time so I listened to most of the most recent podcast before this one now (only an hour and a half and not 3hr+ as well! haha) and it was funny how right near the beginning Kurt goes on for about five minutes how he thought the show nagi no asukara is kind of dumb and many of the characters come across as jerks. CrazyCanuck made the odd comment as well. After all that you ask if they recommend the show and Kurt responds with something like "Yeah, it's alright."
You just start laughing and I chuckled myself. After five minutes of what seemed liked hating on the show and you respond with "It's not a bad show" after being inquired about it,haha.
Later you say "Oh yeah, guys, I went to see Gravity again so I've seen it nine time now." Haha. It certainly seems to be an aptly named movie as you just can't seem to escape its grasp! haha. I feel you should have your name included in the Special Thanks of the home video version or something for going to see it so many times.
I didn't even know you were on twitter. How many tweets have you made about Gravity?
Golden Time is so good
It is! Its all gonna go boom soon and not in a bad way.

For me I considered it because I don't know if i want to see the shitstorm. I don't want to see Setsuna's heart ripped apart. Same thing happened with Little Busters. The end of part one was a nice spot where I should have stopped. Of course in that case I'm just bored to tears rather than emotionally scarred. Though I guess, thinking back to Clannad, that thats a good thing in some respects.
Golden Time is so good
Show of the season for me.

I read a short synopsis on wikipedia for WA2 the VN and
it doesn't seem like it'll involve MUCH heart break. More just not admitting feelings drama.
