Me too but he doesn't have a tragic backstory or a goal yet.

Bartolomeo would get old really, really fast if he was around long term.

I'd honestly say the same thing about Brook and here we are

Well we haven't gotten a good look at his backstory yet so that still could occur.
Not really I mean there's always character development, plus his abilities can be really useful to the SH crew. I mean creating barriers to protect the ship or other attacks from enemies would be really helpful to the crew.

Brook can at least interact with the crew somewhat normally. I don't think Bartolomeo could ever do that (and if he did, I'm not sure what his character would actually have left to go on).
It's likely that. Speaking from experience, text setting is a bitch to do for vocal music.

Senki Zesshou Symphogear G: In the Distance, That Day, When the Star Became Music 13 END
I don't really know why I watched this entire series. It was entertaining enough at least but it would've been so much better without Sugita (WOW THIS IS THE FIRST AND LAST TIME I WILL EVER SAY THIS)
That final battle was pretty nuts though. Power levels make no sense in this series but whatever.
Oh I should probably mention how great the Symphogear season names are.
S1 - Meteoroid-Falling, Burning, and Disappear, Then...
S2 - In the Distance, That Day, When the Star Became Music...
S3 - Believe in Justice and Hold a Determination to Fist.
I want that third one tattooed on my chest.
I feel like I would be fine with Brook if he had a chance to develop or do something. He joined about two days before Shabondy and it felt like we hardly knew him, and since he has been MIA for over a year now we still don't have much of a reason to like him as much as the rest. He started getting some potential in Fishman Island when he learned how his fruit really worked...but we've seen nothing of that since.
I've noticed my comments are usually short but I think JoJo and One Piece are the two topics I could reliably max out character count on a post with

So Aldnoah.Zero is getting a dub, it's an Aniplex show perhaps we'll see it on Toonami (hopefully not)

Sinon is the clear winner. There is no runner up.
This reminds me of my friend when she puked a tropical drink.
she said she puked up a pretty rainbow.

Plastic Memories - 10
...Sigh.
The last scene of this episode was done pretty well. I'll give it that.
But my main problem is that this show is trying its hardest to make me care about Tsukasa and Isla's relationship. It's kind of difficult for me to really feel anything for these two when I know exactly how this is all going to go down in the end!
There's pretty much only three possible endings here:
One: Isla gets deactivated in a very sad, emotional farewell scene.
Two: Isla goes out of control and Tsukasa is forced to take her down the hard way.
Three: A miracle happens and Isla gets to live like a regular human being.
It just gets me so mad that the show went down that predictable route given its pretty interesting premise. There was so many other things that could have been done with this scenario!
Had it not been for the show's premise and writer I probably wouldn't have even considered picking this show up. And yet here I am, 10 episodes in. Might as well finish it now when there's only three episodes left!
Let's see which option they go with.

Quite a few newcomers in this cast. Still, the casting looks good overall.
Please let this air on Toonami. The reactions in the thread would be enough for me to rewatch this trainwreck with you guys.
Who knows if it'll air on Toonami though. You guys still haven't gotten Fate/Zero or Magi yet, both of which would be perfect for Toonami.
straight trash that people should feel bad about watching this season: oregairu 2, punch line, nisekoi, fsn, kekkai sensen, grisaia, anime in general.
look at how bad anime is
hoooooooooooooooooooo sheeeeeeeeeeet am i ever lit right now. someone pass me a railing to hang on to because my legs are going wobbly.
Look at all the wrong in this post ^

hate/ironic watching bad anime has reached Room/Birdemic levels.
I'm eagerly awaiting the RedletterAnimeGAF 'Best of the Worst' show

I'll continue to not understand that. Wish I had I enough time to consume media I dislike. Actually no I don't.

There is a joy in waiting to see how terrible something can be. That said, SAO peaked with the first season and as disgusting as Saekano was, I don't know how much further down the hole it could get. Maybe if they added a fake-"trap" character (like a certain other anime involving a club and a harem) who makes random 80s movies references to join the harem.
Like a Shin Sekai Yori level masterpice?

Seraph of the End: Episode 10
Wow, this is a shit show. I can't believe they actually animated it this badly. Like honestly, why the hell do directors this fucking bad have a job? Its beyond me. The execution and writing are horrible too.
I honestly wanna drop this show down the drain and never remember it again. So bad.

Freaking dude just sits there to get killed and says this is my time I guess? The fuck man.
You'd think that, and certainly the first half of the show has its moments, but the end is so bland that it'd only feel unsatisfying when all's said and done.
I just want this show to disappear.
While true, there's still plenty of great stuff out there as well. Personally I'll never understand why people seek out bad anime instead of focusing on the gems, but one man's trash is another's treasure, I guess.
Personally, there's so many well received works I have yet to watch that I can't imagine wasting my time with something I know is bad. As embarrassing as it is to admit, I haven't watched a single work by Dezaki in the years I've spent watching anime. I think I will end up watching Rose of Versailles next, since that seems to be a pretty popular and influential work.
Hey now, that's not even ironic hatewatching. Those guys watch their movies and, while they laugh and groan at some of the silly stuff they have, they will actually give their measured opinions on what each movie did well and what they didn't do well. And when they legitimately like something, even if it's bad, they'll plainly state it without hiding behind whatever mental gymnastics some use to save face in front of others.
A Best of the Worst type show would be a massive step up from the approach some people here take when it comes to watching anime.
Now if you're talking about Wheel of the Worst, well, that's a whole other ballgame...
I might watch that just for Asseylum.

Damn everyone for hyping SNAFU up, now I'm gonna have to go back and finish S1.
It'll probably end up on Toonami at some point.

I think it's easier to consider why something is bad rather than why something is good. Or at least it works out different muscles in the brain, since you usually think of how something bad might be good but - for me anyway - I rarely give a thought to thinking about how something good might be bad.
Haha I see what you're doing there
But seriously, I don't think any show has or will come close to this for me, ever. It has surface level flaws, and it is a story that is made for young audiences and thus takes many liberties with things, but I think the fact that it's a show that's made for audiences of all ages moves me to absolute tears at the gamut of emotions it made me feel, with the notion that young kids would get to watch this, to learn from this show, makes me happy and nothing, nothing is more important than that to me. This is probably the only show I've seen that I'd happily show to my children if I ever had any, a show that I would watch them them, it's a show that I'd urge everybody on this entire planet to watch, a show that is...so pure...so powerful....so beautiful, I can easily say with hand on heart that its the most important show that I've ever watched, and I'll never forget the journey it took me on. I hope that answers your question. I'll write a review up later, and I hope to pour even just a iota of love compared to the love that was poured into this show.Basileus777

Those guys are critics and able to dissect a piece of media's strengths and flaws better than most message board posters in general, regardless of whether it's a "hate-watch" type of scenario.
same. Just added to my CR queue. Might try to squeeze an episode in this morning after work to at least get started.
Oh god that one. Then the realization. So good.

My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU Too 10
Why is this so good! This week was so good. That dude who moved his hands all the time and the sheep following him finally
. Bunch of character progression. I am loving it! Was one of my favorites when the first season aired and this time around it's no different. One of the best animes this season.

Certainly that's the main way I process this thread. Otherwise I'd be stuck forcing myself through shows I don't enjoy just because they are liked by a subset of posters rather than watching shows I enjoy.
Edit: Oh nice, Aldnoah.Zero Vol. 1 BD coming July 21st.
Double edit: ohhhh
FYI the first season is finally getting a BD release in September from Sentai.
