The TV series. Considering that GRRM gave the producers a list of the events that will happen later on in the series. All they have to do is fill in the holes between each bullet point.
Yeah while I'm annoyed with the pacing issues it hasn't happened throughout the anime, just this last 'act' of the current, and longest, arc. I keep hearing the payoff is amazing, but I've been waiting for it.

Oh. When you say 'deserved' I think as in 'if the show itself deserved to have this much hype around it'. KlK coming from Trigger right off Little Witch Academy's heels (and ofc the performance of Gurren Lagann) seems like it would afford the show a lot of hype. It just didn't deliver on/'fulfill' a lot of it.

Mahouka had hype going in?

Man that last page was like reading some kind of limbo, Kill La Kill and Space Dandy were both fantastic, I will agree AoT is very over rated and has problems but it's still enjoyable

This series has the strangest waifu/love interest I think I've ever seen in anime.

Well... I... I don't know what to feel. I liked the movie, but damn that ending.

I was hoping for Re: Cutie Honey. They were delivering on that at first. Then the TTGL tards won and we got something that was good as neither.
The pacing is what killed it for me, I was enjoying it well enough until that point.

Yeah that's about where I am on it. I enjoyed the ride though.
Dragon Collectors.
And yeah, the best stuff seems to always come out of nowhere, or at best it's some weird thing only you and a few others were interested in and suddenly everyone loves it, like Katamari Damacy or Demon's Souls.
Is that actually any good? I was interested earlier on just because I liked the artwork they put out but never followed up on it.
Is that why no one talks about it while they still bring up Utena? Or is it just because of everyone wanting Firehawk to watch that?

Bad move. Hunter x Hunter only has slow pacing for this one part of this one arc, and it's a very deliberate decision that I wouldn't say is much of a negative because all the shit going down deserves this kind of meticulous attention. It can perhaps get a little frustrating watching week-to-week, but if you're not up-to-date right now you don't even need to worry about that =p

SAO Season 2 will
for the hate watchers
Also if people want the real Hunter x Hunter experience every 5-10 episodes they should stop and waiting 6-12 months before watching the next 5-10 during the finale of the current arc

Yeah it does especially since it's LN are selling really great even before it got an anime announced, you could say its one of the most hyped anime in Japan as of right now.
No idea, but "like [character/object x], buy the product of [character/object x]!" is the basic message of any merchandise-driven entertainment product. The intended consumer psychology here is that even if you don't know how the game plays, you'll buy it because you enjoy the show.
Girl of the season so far.

There was a discussion here a few days ago about stakes in relation to the recent crop of sports anime, and someone said that it's most necessary for stakes to be important to the characters, and that they don't have to objectively be some kind of big deal.
This episode demonstrated the truth of that proposition, I think. What happened to Renge was not objectively important (she made a new friend, hung out with her for a few days, and got sad when she suddenly had to leave) but the show did such a good job of making it important to Renge that I really shared in her joy, her sadness and her renewed joy when she got the letter from Honoka.

No they're called Louisianians.
Utena remains the better show. Penguin Drum is still pretty good, but it has some planning issues in that Ikuhara knew what he wanted from the start but didn't use his episodes as well as he could have in getting there.

It's the Manga Time Kirara adaptation of the season. That's a given!

The only answer to this is go watch Ikoku Meiro no Croisée.
Mikakunin de Shinkoukei OVA (BD vol 1)
Delicious onsen episode is delicious. Also I am amused by the fact that Benio's sheer force of perversion allows her to match the physical capabilities of actual supernatural creatures.
Mikakunin de Shinkoukei OVA (manga vol 5)
Flashbacks to the characters as kids. Little Kobeni was adorable, and watching little Benio get up to essentially the same sort of things as she does in the present day was entertaining (mostly because Kobeni being too innocent to actually mind any of her antics gave the whole thing a different flavour). Their game of house was hilarious and singlehandedly made me appreciate Nadeshiko as a character. Wish we saw more of her now.

You mad bro
I'm not pleased about the Colbert Show ending so that he can host Letterman though I'm sure its a great career move for him

Even with the cheesily bad opening 3d battle scene, this was fairly good. I can see why people are saying the non-battle stuff is the best stuff. But what was up with those sound effects in the battle? It looks like they googled "walking sound effects" and just looped the same sound for each step.

7Seeds is basically LOST but actually good and well thought out.
I'm like 50 eps behind and the Chimera Ant arc does have pacing problems later on but the high points make it well worth it.

I think the anime JUST got to this scene.
God I love the Chimera Ant finale.
I don't begrudge people liking Kill la Kill, but it most certainly pales when compared to animes that execute on that particular style much more effectively (TTGL). The actual thread for the show was a very weird place to be when the show was airing - a whole host of people seemingly in denial, affording the show a whole host of false subtext that wasn't actually there.

Ah, the memories.
But then the hat fell off, and anime died again.
I always get a laugh out of this edit. I need another Ikuhara anime in my life.

In Hunter X Hunter will the finale between Gon and Neferpitou be great. Like give me one word to describe it without spoiling.

Well, One Piece is still probably about 15 years away from reaching that point, so that one probably happens last.
I guess Eren finding the basement happens first, unless that gets stretched out over the next 4-5 years allowing GRRM to finish first.

There really is no way to one word answer that question, you watch and find out
