Well the last two seasons were kinda lame, I would totally understand someone thinking anime has been bad for years because of it.

Don't you ever get tired of being wrong?

I mean, I know you try to pattern yourself towards 7th as much as possible but at least he backs down.

By overshadowed I was just trying to say there has been a large amount of crap in ratio to good stuff in the past couple of years. Nothing more or less.

Compared to when?
 

Nonoriri

If your name is Nonoriri you have to go buy Nanami's tampons.

I dunno man, I don't remember anything that aired in winter. That means that winter season was lame. Fall too.

You still haven't watched Time of Eve, Colorful, Soredemo, Penguin Drum, or Usagi Drop, so you can't really claim the last two years suck yet.

Not a fan of Wandering Son huh?

Shiki is megaugly.

Oh thats what you ment.

Is it though? Animation wise its nothing special I suppose, but the weird character designs were rather appropriate in the show's context. The background art was pretty ok as well iirc.

This is true of any season of anything ever. Admittedly quality went down the crapper toward the end of 2011/start of 2012, but rejoice brother, the time of our Apollon saviour's arrival is apon us.

Check out the AnimeGaf suggestions you haven't seen. Folks round here tend to have good opinions, except when it comes to aspect ratios, but even then they are coming round.

I'll also recommend Cross Game on top of those, because it's awesome and I'm biased.

So I read through the first post, and wow. So um, why is the OP missing Saki Achiga-hen: Episode of Side-A? It's only going to be one of the spring season's better shows... is the OP still being written, or is it incomplete?

Incomplete. Got hit with a bit of unexpected pressure. I'll have the few shows that I'm missing up as soon as I finish uploading these banners. Almost done.

I want to believe that even if it sucks, it can still barely get by on its Tony Taka character designs (sorry haters, my teenage self remembers his art too fondly to care about sameface). I think it's a three-way race to the bottom between this, Sengoku Collection, and Koi-Ken.

Selvaria sure had big... determination.

Fate/Zero 4



So is there some kind of rule about not being able to tell other Servants your name?
Though naturally it doesn't apply to Rider.

If they know your name, they can find out your weakness. The servants in F/Z are pretty bad about this bit of common sense though.

There is.
Once they know the Servant's real name, they can gauge their strengths/weaknesses from the history books. That was one of the coolest things about the whole set-up, actually. I'm surprised that they didn't lay it down early on in Fate/Zero for those who didn't play FSN.

From what I can recall, basically, if they know your true name instead of just your servant class, they might be able to guess at what your special abilities are and thus have an edge over you in battle.
Though like you said Rider is so bro it doesn't matter to him.

edit: or what Miri said.

I still maintain that the VC anime was not bad at all, and almost prefer a few of the changes they made.

You kidding me? The whole show is terrible,I never liked the changes they made. I don't care for Ramal or bishonen boy making more appearances than welkin.

I wonder if Natsuiro Kiseki will turn out to to be mahou shoujo or not. That 2nd PV certainly seemed to be hinting at it. Given some of the staff working on it, that would be pretty hot.
