So you watched stuff together and never said anything to me 
oh well
oh well
Serial Experiments Lain 11-13
So... yeah. Alright.
I still don't get some of what happened but I think I understand the general gist of the rest, but it's not like there's going to be a test on it later so whatever. At least I can say I've seen it!
Best use of mind-screwy fourth-wall visual effects I've seen in a while though.
Okay, need to pick something a bit less "what the fuck is going on" for my next show to watch (not counting the current season)...

Okay, in less confusing stuff, ISML day 4.
She might be the weakest of the 5 K-On entrants, but it's still satisfying to see Mugi get curbstomped 6005-2295 by Kanade. The other weak link, Ui, was barely edged out by Holo by 177 votes. I guess that means Spice and Wolf is going next on my watching list.
Exhibition match was Eureka defeating Klan Klein pretty handily, about 850 votes difference.

I feel good having contributed to the Holo victory.
I think you misunderstood. I meant it was jumping the line to the top of my list, i.e. I'm watching it next, ASAP.Izayoi said:
Also, because I enjoy sparking global conflict, here is the vote percentage map for the Ui - Holo match.

South Asia and Africa must be dealt with.Articalys said:
Damnit, I thought Holo won the whole thing, instead I see that she just relatively barely beat Yui from K-on, looked at the last three winners and have no faith these heathens will let her win in the end. Sometimes I want to watch the world burn with the exception of Russia, they can live since they were her biggest supporters.

I hate the world.Lain said:
Hey, major historical events have been put into motion from the most idiotic of ideas and desires, such is man's being, however I fail to see how acknowledging Holo's divinity and superiority could be considered an act so shitty as to be the plot of a bad anime. It's not like I'm putting uzi's on segways I just want to copy Nero.Jexhius said:
There already is no more Spice and Wolf!Uchip said:
'cept whatever's in that to be released epilogue, but we can wait until that's out.

Tiger&Bunny 5
The art and animation seemed to be of a lower grade than previous weeks this episode, and some of the scenes weren't quite as well put-together as in previous weeks, but it was still a fun episode.
However, Tiger needs to stop being completely useless at everything up until the last second. He's a little bit too bumbling.

Blue Exorcist 2
Well, this is fairly standard stuff. We get
On the production side, that's some lovely animation they've got going on there, with some smashing background animation for the interior of the destroyed chapel.
Blue Exorcist 3
Well, we've arrived at a high school setting. That bodes ill.
Also, the rather important event of the prior episode is regulated to a fairly unimportant place for most of the episode, which is funny because that jives accurately with how much I personally cared about it. The show starts with a light hearted jovial tone and ends the same way. Consequences don't really seem to play much a part in this story!
Oh and then we have the "brother as teacher" plot, which leads to a discussion (well, more of a shout-off) between uninteresting characters.
The cinematography was extremely underwhelming as well. It's rare to see such an interesting set of locations shot in such a boring, rote manner.
As my appetite for shows has been thoroughly sated by this seasons offerings it's an easy enough decision to drop this show.
Well, this is fairly standard stuff. We get
our hero's father/main protector/important figure killed early on so that we can both have an extended action sequence and have our hero start the main 'plot', whatever that will be. The problem with this scenario is that when you murder a very important figure to the main character right at the start the audience doesn't really have any attachment to him and so an event that should be fairly weighty is actually rather light and that isn't a good thing. You can wait, say, seven of eight episodes before pulling that card.

Fate/Zero is a full fledged light novel with quite a four volumes out already. The LN series is over so I think they'll be fine.Halycon said:
