Dude.
Maybe duckroll can be your loli.
Lafiel just needs to hit up mailoli.com (pronounced My Loli)
the summer 2012 "premise most likely to disturb people who don't watch anime" award would probably go to...
Why just people who don't watch anime? It disturbs me too. I guess if it's based on a 4koma, it will probably just be jokes, though, and nothing will actually happen.

i9 drew loli jex (or was that just tsundere jex?).
Though I think Chet Rippo and Ruronizel are the more prominent artists in here now.

It leads to funny stills and gifs at least.
Right? Riight?
Yeah, Extollere as well.

All that talking sounded pretty boring. But, when the action started hype set in.
Nothing wrong with having a crush on an older guy.

I just mean in terms of post frequency. I9 has abandoned us
. Extollere is only starting to post more again.There are some sick 4koma out there with murder, rape and racketeering.

Maybe if you'd left a small gap between starting F/SN rather than going into it straight off the F/Z finale.
Who am I kidding.
I'm surprised people are watching it. It is a pretty bad sign when no one in this thread recommends or defends F/SN.

jman, are you feeling okay? Are you running a temperature or something?

I'll take your word for it.
no, because the star wars prequels are terrible
its the opposite of fate zero and stay night, and a lot of people like to pretend it doesnt exist
So what do they have in the 4th koma?
Crash Station

Ruronizel was defending it and cajunator recommends it (I think).
That's actually been the saving grace as I had some background with Kiritsugu and Kirei so they're more than flashback character & smirking priest. I imagine this would be infuriating otherwise.

While
Kiritsugu was clearly the focal point of the series, enough time on the other characters(especially Kirei)

He wasn't talking about quality, but more of the idea the idea of someone watching the prequels and complaining that it ends with the Emperor and Vader still alive and at large.
But yes, the ending is hardly conclusive when several important characters still have major questions left about them, but
Kerry and Waver's stories were done and so were the stories of most of the participants in the war. And I'd argue that Kirei's character arc in this show finished, and it's not a bad place to end things for him.

It can't possibly be worse than Kodomo no Jikan.

Always part of a balanced breakfast.
it wasnt conclusive at all
the main "villains" are still around and they hint at many things and characters that follow, such as events that are yet to take place and name dropping things that I have no idea what they mean.
unless the game that people are talking about is in english and is decent
the difference being that everyone has seen star wars because its completely classic

Think of as being the fourth and fifth grail war. And like any war, there tends to be some lingering elements.

It's a prequel to an original story which was released first! How can you conclude their stories which continue in the original VN and anime? This is completely illogical.
That has nothing to do with my point. My point is that Vader and the Emperor HAVE to be alive because they appear in the Original Trilogy. My point is that when there is a prequel to an existing work which came first, you HAVE to leave some things unfinished because they are already finished in the existing work which came first! This is so blindingly obvious that it's hard to for me to figure out why people are complaining about it.
The stories of the characters who appear only in F/Z are concluded. The stories of characters who continue on to appear in F/SN continue, because they have to! F/SN already existed before F/Z!
I imagine the main reason people are upset is not that some characters have their story concluded in a sequel, but that the sequel is nowhere near the quality of the prequel.

It doesn't seem very logical to keep referring to the original story when claiming this one is self-contained!
Hey, it's not that creepy, it even happened in classy anime like Maison Ikkoku

Alas,
The true evil... was under their noses the entire time??!?!?!?!!
Alas,
the discovery of the sick sad truth was far too late for the Akibarangers to save the most delusional world of them all from completely and utter cancellation. But they shall live on... in all otaku. ;_;
real pros will just wait for the inevitable sakuga MADs

Answer Yes or No:
Do you think the Star Wars Prequel Trilogy was self-contained?
Well, as hard as you might think your life is, Kiritsugu's life was harder. So deal with it, or just read the F/SN VN. It's been fan-translated in it's entirety and the voice acting which was added to the PS2 version has been patched in so it's entirely voiced except for the
sex scenes
Things happen to me when 2 AM rolls around. Sometimes bad things.

I've started reading the VN myself so LA LA LA LA I CAN'T HEAR YOU

I can't answer this because I had already seen the original trilogy. I can't look at it from the perspective of someone who doesn't know how the story ends.

Dusk Maiden of Amnesia end
At first this felt like an epilogue more than anything else, but then stuff started to happen and it was good. Really good in fact. A perfect balance between closed plot threads and
Overall, this was a damn good show. I would even go so far as to say it's among the best adaptations that veered into original territory I have seen. The visual effects really give a whole new spin to things manga readers were already aware of, and are just plain awesome for those not familiar with the source material. At times, it might have even been too much, but that's just a minor grievance.
I don't know if I'd go so far as to say it surpasses the manga, but it definitely makes certain scenes better. The romantic tension/drama between Teichi and Yuuko really translated well to animated form. The original scenes actually flowed well with the canon material, something damn rare in situations like these. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if the manga author adopted some of those scenes when it comes time to reveal certain things.
So yeah, one of the best, most consistent shows of spring outside of the poor, non-indicative first episode.

Then you will never understand why your complains about F/Z's ending are entirely invalid. Oh well.
