After seeing such a comprehensive conversation about the importance of the storyboard on this medium, about Fate/Zero's first episode, and fantastic reviews like the one by Typographenia (for example), posted all with the difference of a mere couple of hours, I can't really complain about anything else. In fact I really like post diversity, with some light-hearted and vivid content to compensate, like the two faces of the coin.

Hmm, that was actually a somewhat interesting story concept (think the terrorists in Planetes) but the execution (most notably the animation during the space battle) was anything but. Watching this with the poorly lip-synced english dub certainly helped "add" to the experience.

I agree with this. In general, the director should always be involved with the storyboard, whether it be heavy oversight (or direction in other words lol) or just drawing it themselves. It's really the most integral piece to an anime episode or film. Maybe this is why some people just sort of think us staff enthusiasts are crazy when we hype up what they (wrongly) see as minor roles like storyboarding -- they don't know how important it is!
It's also worth noting that some directors probably draw their own storyboards out of habit. Mostly Toei people, because (from link above):
Avatar: The Last Airbender S3 ep 15-21
I happened to find Avatar being broadcast on TV last month, but it was the last few episodes of the third season. I still watched it, not knowing anything about the show except many on this board like it. It was fun, even given my ignorance about the show.
Now I can finally understand the love for certain reaction shots I see posted in the manga thread, as Sokka is a pretty funny guy.
Though, the short watch (and me falling asleep during most of episode 21) had me believing there was some kind of romantic feelings between Zuko and Katara, so the final scene of the last episode played a game with my head.
Anyways, now I need to hope for some quick reruns from the start, since it would seem the show hasn't been published on DVD in Italy.

Fandom Secret, he isn't, really overrated character. That must have been awkward to sit through the final arc without knowing much of anything about the anime. Though probably not really since the entire first season felt like filler and was kind of forgettable except for the final three episodes.
They gave it an Italian dub? Zuko was way more interested in another of the protagonists...

So, AKB are voted in... base off fortune telling with the space jellyfishes?

I have been sort of keeping up to date, but I've started playing video games again. They're taking up my time.
Fate/Zero 23
Oh man this show is totally incredible. Words cannot describe it. I need more.
Hyouka 8
That was a very convincingly-portrayed amateur-hour student movie, from the terrible acting to the lazy shot sequence to the haphazard camera work that seems even less in focus thanks to the CG backgrounds.
This is a nice little mystery. Duckroll's speculation feels right on the mark, but I want to watch it play out.
A lot of new characters showed up in this episode. I wonder how often we'll see them going forward.

Jexhius, you owe me five dollars (euros?).
Also Tsubaki is a fucking creep

"Niiicebody des" indeed, Tsubaki-boy!
Jexhius, you owe me five dollars (euros?).
Tsubaki's middling and overly polite nature lead to this mess.
Also Tsubaki is a fucking creep
he kept a strand of someone's hair in a plastic ball. Send this boy to detention
"I've almost put my finger in the mouth that you've put your finger in."
Considering that later in life he eats the drool of a stranger, he had to start somewhere.

Otome Amnesia 10
holy shit. That worked well. Loved the whole 'theater view' the MC had. Was really well done. Shit was quite dark this eps though. Too bad yuuko didn't want to go play football (Rudy joke!). Mining villages are not great.

It is funny seeing explained such a exhaustive and complete method of forming top-level professionals when we also have "amateurs" like Mr. Yamaga saying this:

God damn, the ending
God damn, the ending
when Yuuko was trapped and the music changed was so chilling. Great scene. I also love the village thought process. We have a disease that is killing everyone, it must be a curse from building the school on a shrine and we must have a human sacrifice. Quite astounding.

Ugh...Come on, son.
The episode was alright. It summed up to,

Dat bum life.

Binbogami ga! isn't a continuation of a series.
I can't really comment on Sokka completely, given how little I saw of the whole show, but I found his facial expressions and the situations in which he used them funny and yeah, they gave it an Italian dub (which was nice imho, not that it matters though).
Looks interesting at least.
"Question: What are the high points (not involving Evangelion ) and low points of your career?
Yamaga-san: My high point would have to be forming GAINAX. My low point would have to be right now. I'm hoping to get back up again soon."
I don't think that's going to happen . . .
He should just take another trip to England and relax.

Flashy, cool character designs and seems intense. That's all I need to know. The skater dude and the one with the sword he was going against were the best.
Man, sometimes I just love the way you approach things DTL.

I also expect that's about all the action we'll see in the actual show while the rest is talking time!
