Pretty bad! Also, it's their only original property, so maybe they suck with original ideas. We might never know!

Queen's Blade 11
Man, Tomoe is so modest and conservative, it's almost like she's in the wrong anime.
I guess that training episode paid off and now Leina is a total bad ass. Of course, Claudette is still in a league all of her own. They fight, break for a flashback intermission and then get back to more fighting. Pretty much the whole episode was fighting. In the end the fight is a draw with Leina managing to break Claudette's sword. Afterwards there's a Vance family reunion with Elina finally catching up with everyone else. It was a great episode, and I'm finally not hating Leina as much as I used to, now that she can actually put up a fight.
Oh yeah, she's in this show. I forgot all about her.

Japan's attempts to use English punctuation are immensely painful.
behold the wonders of the Nasuverse
I don't know, the mystery animations in Hyouka have been very creative.

This is why I watch anime. I don't know how to put my reaction to the spectacle I just witnessed into words, and even if I did, I doubt it would do the film justice. I loved every single thing about this. The animation, the art, the setting, the music, the characters and their designs, even the friggin plot; every goddamned thing about this fuckin movie was amazing.
If I have one complaint, it's that it's too awesome. My eyes couldn't keep up! Damn you standard human speed perception!
This is definitely going in my top 3 anime films. Hell, might even go in 1st. What a rush.

We all know Fate/Apocrypha had the highest potential for wtf in servant choices.
Loli Jack the Ripper, Shakespeare, a Saber servant that doesn't look the same as all the other Sabers out there!

Excited for what? It's just an animated commercial for the light novels. They're not adapting it into anime.

I assume something on this page would answer your question. Not sure if there are spoilers, though. http://typemoon.wikia.com/wiki/Servant
Haters gonna fate, all hail the best saber.
Nero sucks. Extra is all about dat Tamamo anyway.
Actually it technically is canon, it's actually an alternate universe where something happened and magic died out forcing people to make use of AR moon computers instead and wait why the hell do I know all of this. WTF has this franchise done to me?!?!?!

It helps that the partnerable Archer servant is pretty much a
walking cameo for Fate/Stay Night

I'm about to start watching school days.
What kind of mindset should I have... er... on?

Oh neat I didn't know this existed. Door Into Summer was pretty amazing.
behold the greatest fruits of his labour
an open mindset. be sure to post your impressions after each and every episode!
Eureka Seven is so good!
The Disappearance Of Haruhi Suzumiya (plus Season 2)
Anyhow.
I came to the conclusion after watching S2 that I really don't like Haruhi herself. Yeah there's probably something ...endearing, I guess, about her character but man. I just can't personally stand her after watching S2. The extra episodes themselves were alright and it was pretty neat how they intertwined with the previous episodes in S1. So this made Disappearance all the more sad for me in a way.
The movie itself was pretty great I thought. There were a fair share of boring scenes and several where I'm just "yeah yeah I know what you're getting at let's move on already" but I enjoyed it a whole bunch. Also speaking of which, good Lord this was a long movie. Man. The scenario was an interesting one and was presented in a more serious manner than the regular episodes. It was a nice "what if?" kind of deal but I still loved how there were details that were intertwined with previous episodes (
) and it was interesting how left some room for another potential series/movie (which I'm sure the novels have already covered). I also liked how the plot, or more specifically
in a way made the Endless Eight plot a bit more substantial. There were some really good scenes, one in particular the scene of Kyon
was pretty awesome.
Still though.
But yeah.
Fun film. Great visuals as expected from KyoAni. I thought the more somber atmosphere was a nice change of pace from the usual crazy slice-of-life ordeal from the series.
For some reason. God knows what reason. I felt today was an appropriate day to finish Season 2 of Haruhi AND watch the Disappearance movie. I didn't completely watch Endless Eight though. Fuck that.
Anyhow.

Nagato's 'reasoning' behind the whole time shift thing
coming to the conclusion that he preferred his old life instead of this new world
Still though.
DAMNIT ALTERNATE NAGATO WHY YOU GOTTA BE SO ADORABLE
Why'd you have to make her cry, Kyon? Why choose that bitch Haruhi over her?! Damnit ;_;

It has some good episodes, but I'm hesitant to call the series itself good.
Don't overthink it. Just do what feels right.
High five!
Sucks to be you. Eureka Seven is one of my favorite anime of all time.

So I was reading the IS! manga (it's a 4koma spinoff series, moderately amusing), and it told me that pika-tan actually has a name. Yeah, I don't remember it being mentioned in the anime... probably was somewhere, I assume, but I forget. Anyway, she's Nohohon-san.
Of course though, the anime-usual "all Americans are blonde" is worse, I think...
Huh, really? I tried to come up with a good joke to compare Eureka Seven's averageness to Keanu Reaves' wooden acting, but I'm not good at those things.... there has to be something, though! It's such an obvious comparison...
...That's not bad, but yeah, that's not something "better than everything and everyone in the Fate franchise", for sure.
There are some light-skinned Middle Easterners... but yeah, that is unrealistic.
Of course though, the anime-usual "all Americans are blonde" is worse, I think...
Ah, yeah. We'll have to see, but my guess would be something like the first anime ending, with a suggestion of what's going to happen next...
Yeah. School Days is no good and no one should be conned into watching it.
I think so, yeah.
Yeah, apparently the Upotte guy has done some adult doujins with his own characters in them.
Friendship is overrated. Real men look for comradeship!

School Days 1
Kinda real time impressions:
- Oh everyone has normal hair color.
- Damn these girls have huge eyes.
- Damn all these girls look kinda the same up close when you can't see their hair differences.
- This main characters VA is kinda annoying.
- oh snap confession in episode 1??? Is this gonna go all mgx?
- WHAT THE FUCK.
- kiss you what who already now no
This show is amazing.

Enjoy!
was all that matters.
I got a good laugh out of that scene, it's always good to see characters get what they deserve, especially shitty characters like those from Haruhi.

Revolutionary Girl Utena 12
Yuri goggles... off the charts!
This puts Utena's relationship with Anthy in a very different light than before. There were hints of it at the end of the last episode, but with
This makes her seem very similar to all the other duelists she has faced.
It was nice to see Anthy
Her role still remains incredibly enigmatic. And it feels conspicuous that we haven't learned a lot about Touga yet. I guess there are plenty of episodes remaining for that.
The music leading into the duel this episode was totally badass. They should do that intro more often.
What an awesome series.

Oh Wakaba. She doesn't need Utena to duel for her affection.
This puts Utena's relationship with Anthy in a very different light than before. There were hints of it at the end of the last episode, but with
Utena choosing not to wear her boy's uniform anymore, we see that Anthy has become a central part of her princely identity, such that she can no longer pursue it without the Rose Bride.
Shadow aliens are out there. Believe.
It was nice to see Anthy
actually do something self-motivated for a change. I liked the parallels between this and the first duel. Anthy is struck by Utena's willingness to keep fighting for her sake, even when all seems lost.
In every age, in every place
The deeds of Touga remain the same

I keep seeing people say this but I don't know why people assume that can't be

That reminds me, it's going to be tough waiting for The Wolf Children Ame and Yuki to come out on bluray.
Well, the Hyouka website confirms that there will be swimsuits... and Houtarou in a
lifeguard outfit
I like how Houtarou and Satoshi are just "the Kotenbu members."

Queen's Blade 12
Every single character is in this episode, not to mention all of their luscious boobs. Even the reigning Queen showed up. Everyone facing off against the forces of the Swamp Witch was great. And um, yeah, very good end to a season. Definitely going to watch the second one. I'd say more, but I'm to tired to think straight, so I'll just leave this gif here.

This is pretty wrong. Also, I noticed you did not include Tomoe or Ohana's mom in your list. Why do you hate real women?
Because this isn't the way he operates, and his concern for anyone who isn't another Servant would be pretty low. The idea of him feeling the need to commit a violent act against them is even lower. It's just not possible, particularly given that the show goes to great lengths to emphasize that Rider is on his last legs resting up before making a final push at night. If you take every scene in the episode into account and weigh that against who is left it becomes fairy obvious who it was.
