If that's the attitude you have, you probably shouldn't be watching any anime. (Honestly, given what I've seen, you probably shouldn't be watching any television.)
Tough crowd.

This shirt is incredibly boring. This one is at least a bit more visually interesting, but also looks like something you might find at Hot Topic.
Her legs look like spaghetti. Thick spaghetti.

Episode felt even better dubbed I thought, Jin, old man, the lady all done so well and my emotions.

Banner of the Stars (Seikai no Senki)
Episodes 2 & 3
I'm just going to pretend I didn't see mention of this show slowly getting worse because right now I'm really really enjoying it. I don't really have anything specific to say but compared to maybe being slightly disappointed with the first episode and it being somewhat of a recap, I quite liked these next two episodes. Just the art has been pretty nice with the detailed ships and space action as well as some really nice looking backgrounds at times. Some of the shots with the depth of field and little bits being animated make them pleasant to look at.
The general series did a pretty good job in the smaller scale of things how it focused on the characters such as in Crest of the Stars but it seems just as easily capable to focus on the much larger scale as has been shown so far in the conflict in Banner of the Stars. All the new characters introduced seem interesting in their own ways and I really like how it's handled the details of the larger battle with the fleet split up with its different commanders (Spoor <3) and talk of setting up supply lines and overtaking planets along with way to work as supplementary and supply bases for the main fleet.
Just really good stuff and I look forward to watching the next episode.

No, but I watched something that was more trollish than School Days and Blood-c combined and no one cared.

Zettai Bouei Leviathan - 03 ( Rescue mission )
Great episode again , classic but great.
I think i understand what this show is trying to do.
It's trying to not be serious.... and it succeeds.
How many times will the bar will be destroyed ?
Will syrop manage to not be the best fairy ever ?
Will this trio manage to trully even reach the friend status ?
Will yurlungur manage to get a date with leviathan ?
What are below the scales ?
Tune in next week !
Nobody does ..but it's sure entertaining.

Didn't mean to imply that it was an otome; only remarking on the presence of attractive young males.
Fun fact: Karneval has the same character designer as Yes! Precure 5, the one with the prominent yaoi pairing:
You should try it.

DATE A LIVE 3
so this show is just garbage...
btw: is world god only knows or w/e its called any good? As in the manga. Show was pretty enjoyable from what I remember.
They're also doing that. This announcement might just as well be that one.
I agree. It's sort of just... there. lol.

I really have to show you guys the super-wahjah Hot Topic weeb corner of my wardrobe that I haven't touched in a decade sometime. I still can't believe that no one ever beat me up in high school.
2011 was a pretty good year IMO: Puella Magi Madoka Magica, Steins;Gate, anohana, Usagi Drop, and Fate/zero. There was probably more than that I'm forgetting still. For 2013, the highlights for me are Psycho-Pass, and well... I guess that's it for now. But I hear Shinsekai Yori is really good. Still need to watch that. As for promising new shows: Suisei no Gargantia, Shingeki no Kyojin, Hataraku Maou-sama!, and Valvrave.
Honestly though, if you quit anime because it's been "bad" when 2011 was probably one of the best years the medium has had, you probably deserve missing out on them.

Gargantia might be scifi enough to please you.
I'm strangely hungry now.
I wanted to read the post but if I'm spoiled on a good troll end even in the slightest it loses its impact. Platonic Hearts has my attention now.

Yay!

Gargantia is the Waterworld meets Mark Twain anime, right?
Huh... so what actually happens in the end to make it crazy?
Pretty good, I went with marinara sauce and meatballs since I'm not into tomato chunks.
Ah, they all think they have the show figured out at this point. The real trolling still lies ahead.
Any good recent historical/fantasy/historical fantasy anime? I already saw Sword of the Stranger.
I don't really keep up with anime any more outside of some movies, but I've been in the mood to watch a historical or fantasy epic or a show with that type of setting. Something like Escaflowne or Twelve Kingdoms or Moribito. It seems a lot of shows are being made about the sengoku period of Japan, something I find really interesting, but then I find out the plot is something like "what if the daimyo were HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS" and it doesn't really capture my interest. Are there any recommendations of shows that fit my vague description from the past five or so years?

There was Hyouge Mono, recently:
Watch it and come back to tell us if it was any good.
Work hard to pander to me, Maou-sama! - 01
Something that really, really annoyed me was that Maou's personality changed to generic-shorom-protagonist in the span of a few minutes midway through the episode. They just conveniently decided to leave out how this marvelous change occurs! After all, who needs character development 'mirite?
It's pure deception from the author. The scene where Maou hands the redhead his umbrella was was especially repulsive because it's a 180 from the type of character Maou was just 7 minutes earlier.
All complaints notwithstanding, I still liked the episode. I just wish the show spent an episode or two showing how Maou and Alstein(sp?) became accustomed to their new life, and how this new lifestyle changed Maou's personality.

moved from training to becoming a soldier in seemingly such a short period of time/after one exercise
Quality shows in these genres are slim pickings recently but this is what I'd recommend from the past half-decade:
Hyouge Mono
Mononoke
Sengoku Basara
There was a new Slayers a few years ago but it was p.bad ._. The only other straight-up fantasy shows that I can think of that weren't totally abysmal are Tower of Druaga and Legend of the Legendary Heroes, but nothing recent really holds a candle to the classics in the fantasy/adventure genre. There's also Ixion Saga DT which is basically a comedic send-up of the genre/JRPGs if you don't mind parody.
If you liked Escaflowne (mecha in a fantasy setting) you might like Break Blade. /shrug
I'm assuming that you're just talking about series that take place in historical Japan and not historical settings in general, so I can add more suggestions if it wasn't your intent to be that specific.

In the end I found myself unable to watch Hyouge Mono because it has probably the worst music and music direction I've ever heard in any anime. If someone made a version of it that cut out the entire soundtrack, I'd be happy.
I haven't watched it myself, but I've heard good things about Saiunkoku Monogatari; if you haven't watched that, you may want to check it out.

IIRC she and the actress that play Sayaka switch agencies not to mention the old blue is starring in new movie called SakuraHime where she plays as a young woman who was attack(rape?) by a man and she became a prostitute to find the man and I think she enjoys being attack. Thats why she not free for akibaranger season 2.
Lol.
