Seriously. There's something great in the premise that's just mired in shit.
Gundam AGE 39
I know no one here give a damn about this, but I'm just reporting this episode full of good mecha-porn! Pretty much a whole episode was only about it.
If you need some of it or hurting your eyes from watching Muv-Luv : TE, you can check this episode. Even if you not watching any of episode before. Don't even give a damn about the story! (No explanation needed)
Already miles better than what Deen doing.
You guys will like Heaven's Feel, just rewrite the fight
because most of them are shit (like most fight in F/SN and maybe Zero too, but its already massive improvement than uninspiring shit in Stay Night)

First look at what a Uftoable F/SN might look like (F/SN Vita opening animation): http://www.ufotable.com/slideimages/sn.jpg

Finally finished the first season of K-On. Not bad, will get around to the second season soon.
They would do a mix. It's kinda impossible to just isolate one route and they could easily wrap up Saber's development and other characters from FZ. The focus would be Heaven's Feel as it has the most to do with Emiya in a way but I pray to god we get some of the fucking amazing UBW arc fights in there. Have Urobuchi do a rewrite combining all three arcs and I will literally pull down my pants and fap. No exaggeration.
It's almost certainly coming, ufotable is interested(they implied as much at the AX panel) but I'm guessing there are contractual and licensing issues being sorted out. TM likes money and aren't afraid of whoring their franchises out so the only limitation I can see is some hurt feelings on the part of DEEN. DEEN also might hold some rights to FSN animation in general and aren't letting go.

YES!!!! Do we get to see Mini Shiki?!
You seem surprised.
Just sayin.
He should be as it's a solid show.
Unlike Nichijou. BOOM! 
I can't always get down with duckroll's BONES worship -- their batting average for original productions is decidedly below par -- but this time he's completely right. This is a fantastic, bloody action movie, excellently paced and gorgeously animated. It's not the most original story, not by a long shot, but it still hits all the right notes. It's a great time, every time. Bandai Entertainment USA is dead, so buy it while it's still easily available!
...Man, it's really been five years since this movie came out? God, I feel old.

Out of all the stuff that ufotable is doing with TYPE-MOON, the most interesting one for me is still Girl's Work. The writer for that is a legitimately good, but more importantly, he's as batshit crazy as Gen Urobuchi is completely depressing. At a first glance it looks like a normal slice of life but that man has never written anything normal in his life.
I'm a bit sad that there's been nothing said about that, but I'm still excited for it still.

Amazing. The chemistry of the cast was top notch. The pace was brisk but good.
And now we know why the school is so fucking rich. Look at that principal.
Sawa at the maternity ward was so adorable
Was a bit disappointed with the lack of cg piano hands after Slope, but the car reflections were pretty good.
I still think something is wrong with MC's face. Like someone not too good with sliders of your 'anime face creator' gave it a shot. Something is just... idk.

Hyouka Episode 11.5 - Terrible UStream Edition
This was really wretched. It was just... bad. First of all, it's a crime to stream something like Hyouka on UStream in super low resolution and with a bitrate so bad I can count the macroblocks. The contrast was also totally off making everything look washed out and ugly. Horrible. The worst part was probably the ad text they overlaid on the entire episode during the stream. Gross!
But that's not where the problems end. The episode itself was kinda bad. There's a lot of mostly pointless fanservice (which is extra pointless when the episode looks so bad), and the story was typical boring Hyouka filler. I almost fell asleep twice, and by the end of the episode I was mostly blind and had a splitting headache. Terrible.
Hyouka Episode 12
But this episode brought me back to life. It restored my sight. Cured all my illnesses. The glorious bright light of Kyoto Animation shined down from the sky, as the heavens parted, and a choir of angels heralded the coming of the savior of the Summer anime season. What an amazing episode. Stuff like this is why Kyoto Animation exists. The only reason. Other than Fumoffu that is.
Not only are there tons of awesome designs all over the episode, ranging from characters, to costumes, to backgrounds, but the entire episode was pure fun. The jokes were funny, the little events were entertaining, and it was all just so pretty. Watching Chitanda getting lost in the festival like a hamster in a maze is why this series was made. Pure unadulterated joy. This arc looks like it will be the best one yet by a country mile. The only mystery in this episode is why they didn't do this SOONER!

although Gil lame as hell in this LOL
AKB0048 Episode 10
I'm only posting this to note that I didn't skip an episode. I have no interest in actually commenting on the episode other than to say I feel if I say more I might be incriminated in future for various crimes. So yeah, whatever.
AKB0048 Episode 11
Finally the idol trainees return to Ranka-Star. The series is coming full circle, as the main characters have to deal with the problems and the world they left behind. If that sounds exciting and promising, then I've done a better job selling the episode than Satelight did of making it. Instead it looks like we're going to be heading towards a boring and predictable sort of climax where
It looks likely that most of the show's deeper "mysteries" and the interesting stuff with huge troll potential are probably being left for the other 13 episodes in the probable second season. I hope something crazy happens in the last two episodes, but it doesn't look like that's going to be the case.

They setup Saber's development pretty well for FSN and could really carry it through FSN. I also want to see the clash of Shirou and Archer's ideals (best scene in the entire VN) although I'm not sure how to reconcile that with HF. HF really though is a natural continuation of Zero so a rewrite to bring more of an edge to Shirou's personality would do wonders.

The eps was the girls gone wild ad. They ain't gonna show you the goods in the infomercial.
That's a really good way to put it. But based on the infomercial, I think they can keep their goods!

Hyouka 11.5
The real "fan service" episode. Of course, that means I wouldn't qualify.
In this episode, Oreki got told,
by Chitanda.
Also,
is brought into play with the episode's mystery. The plot thickens!
Okay, not really. It was still dull as ever. I don't like Chitanda and don't care for an episode about her in swimming attire. lol

After watching 12 episodes of Hyouka I'm forced to assume you've developed some form of Stockholm syndrome and it's warped your mind.
Jexhius, I think this series has to go up a little on your fan-service sliding scale now.

I, er, see.
Thank you, duckroll. Now I know that I can just invest my time elsewhere and drop the series.

So you're going back and watching the dub rather than the original Japanese version? Interesting. Good luck not getting bored to death.
I'm glad we're bros on this. Unfortunately the next series from the guys who brought us Sword of the Stranger will likely tear us apart again. At least, I hope it tears us apart, because the alternative is that I don't like it either, which would really suck!

That's the problem with Japan - they're far too desensatized to shit like this. It loses that ability to shock and horrify.
You forgot to mention the importance of electric-guitars.

What?....
Posting Chitanda shots should be a crime against the universe.

Loving Jude should be a crime against the universe.
It is a crime. I'm wearing this avatar because I lost a bet. It's not like I want to.

This turned out to be a rather boring comedy. Now, in all fairness, the show does warn you that's rather a dialouge-heavy affair, but frankly that doesn't bother me. I am, however, bothered when the dialogue isn't very interesting at all.
Dropped.
At least they told the viewers up front.
