I finished watching Code Geass last week and loved it. On Reddit, someone was asking for Anime similar to Death Note and Code Geass, and someone recommended Fate/Zero. Any comments on that? It's a prequel to Fate/stay night.. should I watch this one first?

Don't watch Fate/Stay Night. Don't read anything about it. Ignore it completely. It doesn't exist.

Watch Fate/Zero. Its fantastic. Best anime of 2012.

Ah, Okay. Since you're so much farther ahead of me and watching at a quicker pace I'm going back to read your posts after. Looks like we had pretty much the same opinions regarding the fights and most things. How did you not see the reveal though? Haha.
He couldn't tell the secret of the Student Council president either. lololol

So much work to find your pops :/

Bisky sure got the best expressions in the show lol.

I assume with people's reactions here, the next arc is gonna be kick ass?

I DON'T KNOW HER NAME!

Amnesia Episode 6

I'm seriously halfway through this and not one character has yet to utter her name.

Doesn't really help that she herself hasn't bothered to check or hasn't realized it yet either.

Episode itself was fine. Her alone time with Ikki near the lake was definitely romantic. Sucks that it was ruined later by those jealous mob characters from the fanclub whose plan of dating him three months each is just ridiculous and stupid. Also N seriously needs to lay off from stalking her.

Is there now a monopoly on simulcast news reporting in the thread?
Yes, I run a sub-license racket establishment. If you want to post them you gotta pay up.

He obviously hasn't mahou shoujo'd hard enough.

RIP Mossan.

It's been so long, I'd forgotten how damn scary Akutabe is. Sometimes I think the censored violence makes these scenes much more hilarious than they already are.
 
on the bright side, if it was Aniplex, they'd be asking you to pay £600.

Dat is true, innit.

Maybe I'm a bit salty because I got my Bebop DVDs for an effective price of about £7.50 (HMV was taking pre-orders for a re-print of the complete set at £15, and also a "pay £10 get £20 voucher" promo on a Groupon rip-off, so yeah).

Man youtube comments are something else. I was watching the opening for a show and there's an argument about how Fate/Zero is overrated trash, and SAO is awesome...

Jesus christ.

Witness the awesome power of the mainstream opinion.
This is the real enemy folks.

Do you mean this one? You don't mess with Aniplex Inc., (SME) on places like YouTube, but thankfully there are alternatives...

Yes thats the song <3

Fate Zero is really good. Very character driven and quite dark and sometimes gruesome, but very very watchable. The music is some of Yuki Kajiura's finest to date.

[Gargantia on the Verdurous Planet] 01

Technobabble up the wazoo, militaristic dystopian futures, and tons (tons) of ominous ironic dialogue? Yup, that was written by Urobuchi. Or at least the first half. Which I didn't totally hate, but it was pretty dull in terms of how it presented the action and the stakes.

Second half was a lot more enjoyable simply because you could start following what the fuck was happening. The reveal at the end was pretty predictable, but I've come to expect that with the writer. :p

I'm so afraid something bad will happen to Amy :(

As a rule of thumb, I expect about £15 for a cour, doubled if in HD

Damn thats cheap! I remember when that would buy 4 episodes on a DVD.

Despite the ugly CG at the beginning this was pretty enjoyable. The whole
overpowered space bugs nesting on stars.
thing reminded me of Gunbuster to a great extent too. Sign me up for team pro technobable.

Ledo is pretty cool. He doesn't say a lot but he isn't a fucking idiot either. He acts like a substantially trained military pilot. When Amy starts chatting with him in episode 2 itsl ike hnnnnngh.

Blood-C has already shown this to be the case!

I totally mentioned all of this when watching the show just a few days ago. The creepy fan service, the fact that Swan and Stallion White are doing the Lannister, and even the completely baffling decision to change Papillon's skin-tone halfway through the show.

Definitely the low points of the show.

Does that ever get explained?

What the fuck. I can't believe they
killed off
the best part of the show in the first episode.
rip sex hair:(

It was okay, the hair
sex
was definitely the best part of the episode.

Dunno if I want to watch more after the developments in this episode. Dammit.
She's still moe as hell with short hair so its all good.
Curious as to where the story goes from here since evidently that is going to be a pretty huge development.

Well, you'll be happy to know that (mild episode 2 spoilers)
the hair grows back every day.

Amnesia Episode 7

Kento got robbed with having only one episode to being the boyfriend.

His interaction with her was awkard than anyone of the previous two but it also served to make them a cuter couple as a result. Impressed that he managed to not only figure out her memory loss but also have the patience and trust to believe in her and spirit boy's story. That part with them holding hands and wanting to see her again before she went to the next world was probably my favorite part so far in the series.

Next looks to be the cheerful blond, lets see if he beats Kento as being the best guy.

I really like how this show puts more focus on the Precure's families than in Futari wa. I feel like I can actually feel how their families impact their lives and shape them, rather than just being background characters.

We're almost approaching the 24 episode mark, so I'm assuming shit will really start going down fairly soon.

I'm thinking about skipping my final exams this semester and marathoning Sword Art Online instead.

But you've still got so much to live for! Join me and only experience the series through the horrific gifs that people keep posting and rejoice that your memory is free from the turgid awfulness the show appears to be.

I think "Finished Sword Art Online" would look great on a CV. It's shows persistence, dedication and an amazing ability to tolerate complete pandering bullshit until the job is finished.

Gargantia 1-2

Technobabble aside this is off to a very good start. Ledo seems way too cool headed for a main character in a mecha series lol. The waterworld setting and gorgeous backgrounds are really doing it for me. I like the ramifications of Amy
asking for for help and then everyone seeing the results. Seeing just how advanced Ledo's suit actually is definitely knocked them back.
I hope it's not underplayed in the next episode. Maybe they'll think twice about dumping him in the sea now.
Seems like the big boobed women with the glasses might be causing some problems for Ledo in the future.

Has to be said that this for me has the best Mecha designs out of the three airing. So good.

I hope Kevin Costner shows up somewhere in Gargantia. That'd be really great.

I'm a fan of Boss, I see some SDBurton potential with the commander lady too. Lets see more of that between the action scenes.

Lennenkanpt is as paranoid as the real Stalin. Yang doesn't want no trouble.
Pretty funny how Cazellnu gets dominated by his wife at home. These happy family moments are so nice and heartwarming, a small break from the heavy military tactics and politics.
