sounds like a rather fitting panel for Gainax

left me in utter suspense. A well done sequence I must say. Edit: I would have liked to hear Misaki say "Sakakibara-kun" in that voice of hers one more time though.
Revisiting the world of Another was fun. I was sold on the relationship between the two girls (I'm so sorry if this is in bad taste), so the
NOPE
ferris wheel near-incident
Seems that way.
Popsicles are tasty!

Something is happening or whatever. Dunno, I don't care about really anyone here so whatever.
Even the hen-pecked husbands knows what's up.

Fujiko Mine 7
So, Fujiko has morphed into April O'Neil for this episode? It was overall a pretty weak for me, the constant fluttering between time periods just meant that the whole thing felt inconsistent, it's story very much felt like it was being relayed second-hand, and poorly.
Although the series hasn't had one overlying story-arc, I still felt that was some sort of connection between them all, which is why this episode just felt so conspicuous to me. It did nothing with its characters, and basically could have existed as part of any number of series for what it accomplished overall.
And there I was thinking all the talk about the shading was overblown, nope. I was going to catch up in one sitting, but I might just have to leave episode 8 for later now.

If you must watch only one show today, Fate Zero 21 is an excellent episode choice.
Well, that depends on the person it is directed to, right? I've always thought that people show or demonstrate appreciation and affect on different manners and there wasn't one way only, but what I'm sure of is that many are more easily grated by excess than by defect, and I suppose some won't even need/want to see appreciation aimed to them... so I prefer to try not being annoying.
But as I've stated that it all depends on each individual, I'll just say now that I understand your opinion and I'll take it into account.
I'm comfortable with my actual situation so I'm content, really. I'm a simple man without aspirations, ain't I?
Nothing to highlight of it?

Kimi to Boku 2 ep 9
The best episodes continue to be Yukki Yuta ones and this one was great. "First Fantasy" sounded like it would be a fun game. I liked the first job plotline and only wish they involved the manage more.

Eureka Seven Ep. 43
This was a very well directed episode. There was some very nice animation as well. Looking at the credits, this episode had five animation directors, so it definitely had a good budget. If it were not for the forced drama between Eureka and Renton, it would have been an excellent episode.

But... what if they talked about Shiranui on the panel? Indirect presence can also work.Unfortunately, Shiranui doesn't exist IRL so Gainax had no saving grace
You cannot properly demonstrate the genius of Shiranui with words.

Haiyore! Nyaruko-san 08
I really did love the whole high school dating sim setting and the whole Not|Wagnaria. Too bad there was no Yamada or the mythical fifth ending.
So many references, so many places.

Wait, the show referenced Wagnaria? FFFFFFFF. I need to continue watching it.

They made her do Wagnaria and Amagami references. Surely there's been more though.
And my favourite one, The World God Only Knows
Oh man, this puts me up to 4 shows now!

Hrm, must have missed/forgotten that one. You know, I wonder if she was cast for these references or if they wrote the references after they figured out the casting.

First scene was awesome, poor dude, and then the
was suspenseful. Rest of the episode could have been better though, lots of scenes felt really flowery and girly, I guess, slow and fanservicy.
I did like how it ended tied back to
So many emotions from the ED.

Those are horribly amateurish and lifeless, but I still might try Kokoro Connect as a secret shame series because of the body-swap premise.
You suck and your taste is bad.
Nothing shameful about it, my friend.

Is this a sad anime? I thought it was about cute girls (and boys) doing cute things, but that trailer didn't make things look happy and fun.
I can't hate you since you like Erio.
From what I read of the manga, I couldn't really figure out what it was trying to be, so who knows how this will go?
The first male looks like a genderbent Ui. That's immediately what I thought when he smiled and tilted his head.
Also, I really liked Tatami Galaxy. It's what I've been looking for from this type of story for a while, and I wonder why I've put off watching it for so long.
yep, this sure does look awful. i'm sure it's gonna sell a boatload
the body-swap genre deserves better than this
My favourite anime of the past few years.

Excuse me while I laugh profusely at the suggestion that these character designs are worse than those of Sengoku Collection or AKB0048.
Of course, Horiguchi's original designs won't look as good in the hands of Silver Link as they do in the hands of KyoAni.

But whatever. Show's over, waste of time watching it. It's pretty terrible all the way. Tasteless fanservice, plot that goes nowhere, fights where they make a point of how short it was. So glad to be done with it.
We got four insert songs today. Four!

Now on to Yami!
Character design aside, I like Horiguchi's artwork, especially her coloring. It doesn't really show in anime though. Honestly, it reminds me of Sora no Woto and Kishida Mel. I don't think anyone can look at the anime and say that it's a good representation of Kishida Mel's artwork.

Asks questions so Ezalc doesn't have to
Eeeeeh, I don't know about that. To be frank, he's the only character who up until
the bugs clearly started draining him of all his life and making him go a bit batty-nuggets
I mean, when you think about it,
he grew up in a household of an old man who's clearly fucking evil. Anyone who grew up with that would want nothing more to do with him. Anyone with any amount of self-pride would throw that shit away, so he's definitely not a failure of a human being for that. Really his only failing was falling for the woman Tokiomi ended up marrying. Had that not happened he'd have never known about their kids, and what happened to Sakura. And then he wouldn't have done the rather noble (if slightly impossible) thing in trying to save a poor child rather than leave her to her fate. Which he could have totally done if he were a completely selfish asshole like most of the other characters are. The bugs certainly helped him go insane though, so admittedly his focus temporarily shifted to getting revenge on Tokiomi, but even then it's completely understandable why he'd resent the man and everything he stands for. Granted, none of the Tohsaka's have my respect, so there's that. They're all assholes.
Granted, it's his own damn fault for falling for Kotomine's trap. I'm sure in his mind it was just "speeding up the inevitable" since he'd have to fight Tokiomi anyway if he wanted to win the war, plus he did want to beat him for selling his daughter away the way he did. But even then I wouldn't call him a failure for wanting to do in Tokiomi; again he feels he needs to win the war to save Sakura, so while he went about it the wrong way, I can respect his intentions. I'm not excusing him for killing what's-her-bitch's name, that was him snapping after being royally set up. That was wrong, and I don't forgive him for that. Though in my eyes her dying was divine retribution.

My little sister can't sell this many boxsets.
I don't like his style, but he's definitely not the worst. Not even close to that. There are multiple example of worse character design styles in this season alone.

The manga is different and the author make this point in a omake when people who watched the anime ask him about fanservice and moe. XD

Yeah, that's pretty much why I'm hating quite a lot on the anime. I do want to read the manga someday as it does sound decently done.
It has one of those fabled genre switches, but the battle portion gets reasonably good, better than, say, Negima.
Finally back home. What a long weekend that was. Now to catch up on the ~5 hours of shows I missed.
(btw, one of the Saber cosplayers I talked with at the con brought her computer and paid for in-room internet so she and her friends wouldn't miss F/Z 21. More dedication that I have.)

just think of the possibilities
I've had the pleasure of reading the manga so, probably a skip
TBH as much as I love Fate/Zero, I've felt the OST to be lacking in S1. S2 seems to hit all the right notes for me though
You might have stumbled onto the next KH title.
