Is that a squirrel girl I see?
Looks like Becky is joining the fun this time. Should be good.

It really is pretty good. It's getting harder and harder to bash the show now
Fate/Zero Ep1 is great. Fate/Zero_Ep1_Defenders represent!!
I believe they're correctly titled 'apologists'.
Weird that they'd put this up considering that they wanted to keep it a secret.

Ah, gotcha.

Huh, really? I thought that it was better produced than most episodes of most shows I've seen this season.
So this is what it has come to has it?

Defenders of anything are apologists apparently. Jex and Branduil are NTHT apologists.

Only when you defend something inherently bad.
I don't know if my heart is ready.
Albino moe?
I'm wagering on there being a comedic payoff to the romance nonsense before the series end, or at least I hope.
More than enough Kana Asumi and moe funny faces to cover over that fortunately!

Like NTHT?
This series must end with Mahiro getting trolled in the worst way imaginable.

Wait, so did
Wait, so did
Kastro not die in this one? Didn't seem like a fatal wound.
His
mom and Nyaruko should get together, while Hastur becomes a woman... Only to start going out with Kuuko. He'll be left with Shantak-kun.
Fate zero 19 -I...I..I want to be batman
Haha awesome episode the sound design really makes this show, conversation between those two was enjoyable to listen to.
Watching fate zero is gambling with your life, your either going to suffer of boredom or find pleasure I don't think I've watched an anime this inconsistent.
Great anime.....only when it wants to be

The mom was the best looking person in the episode

Didnt he die? Hisoka said Kastro would die in a frenzied dance, which he did seem to dance

I don't know, I thought it was more clear in the original (though I haven't seen that in nearly a decade, so maybe I'm wrong).
Am behind right now but has the hisoka fight happened yet?
The original is one of my favorite anime fights.

I really don't think that is often, or ever, the appropriate response to a post, but nevertheless:

Took a lot longer then expected.
I was wondering when someone would make that post.
We the apologists have to pass judgement on the judge that decided what is or not inherently bad. Nothing can stop us now!

Thankfully, NTHT lacks worm rape.
Wait, when did you become an apologist for Fate/Zero episode 1?
This is just because I took an opportunity to smack Deadman Wonderland, isn't it?
Crash Station

Exactly! There is nothing inherently bad about Medaka Box.
Worm rape>cat abuse.
I like NTHT.

I felt the writing, the atmosphere and the general production of this show has been solid throughout with the exception of some CG scenes that seem to be Marmite or some like the CG trucks and maybe cars being bad. I don't see where comments on inconsistency come from. It's probably one of the most consistently well produced anime I've seen in some time.
Edit: I also don't see why people seem to hate episode 1. It was a great way to introduce the basics of the setting and main cast and the direction on the final scene was fantastic. Is it because it's long and has lots of talking? I see nothing inherently wrong with that.
My comrade! Enjoying our preferred entertainment without complexes should be our progressive pennant... as kind and understanding of everyone's necessities as we are.

Ovlesser was a scary dude, but scarier was his death. Him squirming after being shot in the head made me wanna vomit.
Jessica is dead. Fuck the Alliance.

Hmm, I could swear that I remember reading someone making fun of the background art episode 7, but that looks great to me.

Mahiro will fork Nyaruko one time too many, finally shattering Nyaruko's hopes and dreams. Finished with suffering and filled with spite, Nyaruko decides that humanity can all just die. She goes full Outer God mode and crushes humanity's collective sanity beneath the weight of its own bitterness and unhappiness so that they may suffer as she has.
Then some psychological mumbojumbo happens involving Nyaruko making uncomfortable sexual contact with Azathoth.
Nyaruko and Mahiro wake up on a beach. Mahiro is pregnant. Roll credits.
Yep.
Showing support on this encouraging way makes it seem more clear that duckroll is not alone. You know, we are united on this opinion until the end, even tongue-in-cheek.
Also, I'm practically never serious (even sometimes when I want to be serious), but I suppose that doesn't permeates well with the dry and stiff manner in which I use Mr. Shakespeare's language.

Please, leave the punning to the vastly superior Japanese folks.
Unless there was some derpiness that I missed, as far as I could see there was a lot of good stuff to look at.

[FMA:Brotherhood] 4-5
The early going of Brotherhood is really quite problematic. They're in a rush to get through the 'old material' which makes perfect sense because they don't want to bore people but so much is lost in terms of your attachment to Ed and Al, and not to mention the side-characters who appear for certain specific arcs, that I can't really praise what they did here. I mean, the original series is still there for all the people who want to visit it and experience a far better opening, but it's just a shame that you can't simply recommend Brotherhood as 'the only series you need to watch'.
For the fourth episode I don't really feel like they did anything wrong in terms of tone or direction, as they did in the second episode, but the way they move through they barrelled through he material helps to remind me how vastly superior the original version of this arc was.
The fifth episode fares a lot better because there's lots of action which, as you'd imagine for a BONES production, looks great. They also do a great job of establishing Scar as a serious threat to just about every character that we've met so far and the scene between Ed and Al as the episode draws a close is great. Yet, at the same time, I am reminded that so much of what I like about these characters really comes from how they were introduced in the original show which means I am 'transporting' my attachment of them from that show into this one, even though Brotherhood hasn't really earned it at all.

Decent references and stuff here and there, but the plot of the episode was pretty boring.
Those two are bored of this episode as well.

Normally I'd happily give out a recommendation, but I don't know if we share similar tastes.
I also don't know much about streaming anime, I wonder if anyone has a list of all the best anime and manga available on streaming services?
I could recommend a bunch of stuff if I wasn't just limited to streaming services.
Have you read the Fullmetal Alchemist manga, Jexhius, or is this your first contact with the Brotherhood storyline?
Sengoku Collection 4
A darker episode than the previous three and this one featured a better designed character than the mess we got last episode.

I find it funny how she is able to stop bullets with her sword but got stabbed by a random prisoner. Also since her treasure was not taken that means we will see more of Date Masamune and that's a good thing.

Are you saying that fans of certain shows can't evaluate what they like from an objective standpoint?

Memory reset? Noooo
atleast we're getting into the meat of the story now, this is only one season long right? The manga is ongoing, I wonder how they will handle this.
