I really want to believe. Second raid was sooo good.
This is actually really interesting. I wonder how they measure the popularity of a series, not the characters. Is it LN sold? Or do they just rank LN based on comments or polls?
Something really surprising on there is how popular Sousuke, from FMP, is. From 2005-2009, he was in the top 5 for male characters. He handily beat Kyon and was top male in 08.

Oreimo 12-15 True Route
For the most part Ep 12 True End was pretty much the same. It did introduce some of the key themes of next few episodes which would be. I liked the fact that this time that
.
13/14 were pretty good too. The KyousukexKuroneko pairing was slowly gaining traction as time went on. The game creation part with Kuroneko and Sena was great with the rivalry they had going on.
15 was my favourite of the lot. The lengths Kyousuke would go to

Definately enjoyed this extra little bit of Season 1. Now onto Season 2!

in Kyousuke's head this time it picked the other option which I thought was a nice touch on how this is an alternate ending

see Kirino again was amazing. Going all the way to America to get her back to fill his loneliness he had while she was away. It was hinted at earlier when Kyousuke was Akagi that there would be a time when siblings would no longer be together and that he had to deal with it, when in fact, he was having trouble dealing with Kirino leaving him.

Little Busters Refrain Episode 9
Well that was nice explanation for things going on to finally clear a few things up definitively. The Masato Kyousuke scene was probably the most well done part of the episode, just the emotions coming through from both sides and going over all things.

Still though how did Kyousuke tap into the power of the world to use tricks but not anyone else?

This is what we are going to remember Log Horizon for, is it not. Well, that and DATABASE!

Strike the Blood 9
The romance is starting to become rather annoying and way too like every other series out there. Clueless Kujou, Yaze pointing it out even, and even the girls knowing this, truly nothing new under the sun. Why cant they just advance the plot with the "beloved Fourth progenitor" just to throw everyone for a loop.
Oh well, angel plotline looks like it may bring things back to a high level. Looking forward to it.

Log Horizon Episode 9
The talks at the round table felt dull and kind of pointless
.
However the Tohya stuff was the best part
It reminds me still of all the faults that Maouyuu had, when the action is there its really amazing, but often it is just never around.

considering he aleady owns the bank and guild building

finally excellent action and magical attacks again and even some pretty barriers, really hot stuff when they do the action here

In terms of finding episodes 13-15 of Bakemonogatari for free legal streaming, I came up with nothing. Crunchyroll, Hulu, Aniplex channel, and Daisuki all only streamed up to episode 12.
I tend to use this link from Fandom Post when trying to locate legal streams of otherwise non-simulcast shows (This is only for the U.S. that I can tell). I may have missed an entry for those three episodes, but if a person wants to legally support the show he/she would need to purchase Aniplex's Blu-ray set. Who knows, maybe RightStuf will put this and Nisemonogatari on sale this December during their big sale.
so, which of these are his imoutos? all of them?

The audience.
I guess KyoAni finally gave up.
For anyone wondering, this is the new Disney movie Frozen.
I still think posting these in this thread is stupid and annoying as fuck, but as I'm apparently the only person remaining who thinks so, I suppose I'm fighting a losing battle here.
I will begrudgingly give you credit for actually looking up the title for the movie's release in Japan, though.

Log Horizon 09
I fucking love Shiroe. He hasn't done shit besides be a fucking genius. USE DAT ENGINEERING BRAIN, SON!
God I want to read the LN's. If I had any doubts before, now I don't. This is the show for me this season. I'll reiterate that the pacing is absolutely breathtaking on how good it is. I was again cursing that the episode was over. And having to wait a week to find out more is killing me yo :'(

Another great episode. The escape was great, the negotiation was great, the glasses were great. Everything's great.

The thread has actually slowed down a lot from what I have been noticing.
Yeah, I love how badass Shiroe manages to be despite spending the last five or so episodes standing around talking. This show's really grown on me a lot. I liked it at first, but it seemed like basically slightly dumb fun. It's become surprisingly sharp and smart with this arc though, and the pacing's great as you said.
Will start watching bad anime again soon enough. Fret not.

From what I hear the author is the same as the one that did the show about the giant tits demon lord and the hero a season or two ago. Where it also had a lot of economics and strategy talk. The fault with that show was that the characters weren't as great as in here. So that's why I'm not surprised it's doing as well as it is with just talking segments.
I just want to see Shiroe's brain keep working. Here's a guy who is famous in this world as a genius strategist and he has not disappointed. I'm liking him more than the previous shows with 'villanous' genius strategists such as Death Note and Code Geass. Mainly because I couldn't stand the leads in those shows and was rooting for someone else the whole time.
The LNs aren't available in English, are they? I'd love to check them out also.
Yeah, at this point I'm kind of dreading when/if the show goes back to adventuring, because I've been enjoying the economics more!
Normal Misaka at #1, meh Misaka at #3, and best Misaka only at #12?
Sorry, voters, I'm not impressed.
(I don't even recognise half these names, gotta get back to reading those LNs at some point. Not that that's ever going to happen when I have so many better LNs to read.)
For once XD

Don't know about the LN's honestly.
But I won't mind when it goes back to adventuring as then it means we get to see his strategy thinking in combat. Previous battles didn't use much of his brain besides the one when they first had Nyanta helping. Dat unspoken teamwork.

When does the Winter Season for anime start? In January?
My understanding of anime seasons is that they're basically three months each. Winter January-March, Spring April-June, Summer July-September, and Autumn October-December.
In other words, yes.
That's true. The last couple of battles were cool, especially the first, but they all felt kinda like trivial encounters. Hope we encounter someone who's a real challenge for Shiroe so we can have an awesome strategy battle.

It's nice getting some straightforward answers about the navigation system and Yuki's past, but I'd rather see more focus on

Garmilas and Norio Wakamoto's coup attempt.
Should have brought the robot along.
Aha, Sanada, you clever motherfucker. It's not polite giving your comrades (and the audience!) a scare like that.
If Yurisha had explained herself earlier she probably could have gotten more people to listen to what she has to say.

Thanks.
Just gathering info, because from the look of things, I might end up having to do the Winter OT instead of a third Fall OT.
It's easier finding the Japanese version of the Wikipedia article and copy-pasting its title than transliterating it.

Oh yeah, none of the battles have been a struggle for him, but that's because I genuinely think he hasn't fought a strong power yet. I'm assuming that the

White Album 2 09
This show really does feel like it peaked at episode 7. Since then it feels like it's kinda lacking direction, and I'm finding Kazusa and Haruki a bit less likable.

Called Kazusa's mom showing up though.

Man I'm probably not gonna watch White Album 2 till tonight so hopefully it isn't as you say for me and that the shark has been kept at sea-level with a barrier in its vicinity.
My fears for Golden Time going where I was fearing it was going to go have been calmed down by fellow GAFer spoilers, even if the ghost busters storyline is stupid it won't detract from Koko.
White Album 2 on the other hand started out as such a calm slice of life but yeah, episode 8 was boring as shit.

I wouldn't say WA2 really jumped the shark so much as it is just lacking direction. A big part of why the show worked for me was that it always had that end goal of the fair to pull the characters towards, but now it... doesn't. Everyone's just kind of floating around. Which, ironically, does suit the pre-graduation feel they're going for, but it still needs something.

The crew seems to be taking this ghostly possession in stride.
For a second I thought Rei had just gotten bored by Shinohara's story and fucked off.
This recon subplot feels pretty rushed. I think the writers originally planned a tense, drawn-out scene where Shinohara got back just before the ship started to leave but had to cut it for time.
That battle was the hypest shit. The fighting, and the reveals, and using the WMG to propel the ship backwards and blow up the enemy core and fleet at the same time...So. Awesome.
