I don't think any anime will ever get to that point.

Man, what a bunch'a jokers
Are the girls tanks or do they just ride them?
Kyousogiga Sequel isn't a TV show; it's another ONA. Also, isn't the Takamura show set for Fall?

They are normal high school girls and tank driving is something something a martial arts.

Sengoku Collection 13
Onsen + Beach Episode was not what I wanted from this anime, and even worst these terrible characters are still around. However the episode did have that one thing in every anime that always makes me laugh
Otherwise really dull, boring, and not good. Should have gave us another episode with

when characters fall down a hole, lol
Ugh. This series had some potential, but Kouga just brought it down. The final "showdown" wasn't even really a fight. It's a shame that it ended up like this.
Meh.
Kouga is one of the worst characters I've seen in anime in a long time. He just runs blindly forward into his version of "justice" all the time. He kills his parents and nothing happens - he just moves on and takes over the empire.
Meh.
Really? A Kyousogiga TV show wouldn't work with Toei's schedule management at all. Hell, the main "brains" behind Kyousogiga have been busy for most of 2012 (Matusmoto in Omega, Hayashi in Drilland). If a Kyousogiga TV show came out this Fall, it would be a total mess.

Fall sounds fun if anything as they'll be less LN adaptations.
Oh wow, Seitokai No Ichizon is getting another season. May need to re-watch the first one since its been awhile.

Well, I'll have this on my plate at least.
Dem colors. Haven't seen anything quite like this before - the color choices in this anime are all really unique and vibrant. I like it.
But, the MC not even knowing how to
was a bit... eh. It's not exactly rocket science. They kind of overdid it with his stupidity there.
Still, I had a couple laughs so will continue onto the next one.

Fall is going to be rough. Bring it!
Here's hoping Gyrozetter will be something similar to that of IGPX.

Ah, I envy you. The first arc of Kaiji season two is my favourite part of the Kaiji anime.

It was just a list of posters who had escaped posting in an Anime thread regularly, that's all.
This just in: Bodacious Space Pirates movie is on the way.
Fate/Stay Night TV Reproduction 1
So what happens when you cram 12 episodes of a tv series and jam it into an hour? Usually a mess but I was surprised here. The harem antics are removed, scenes are trimmed down to what's essential rather than maintaining the unnecessary bloat found in the tv series, and the story comes across as more focused on Shirou, Saber, Rin, and the Grail War. The final product is very action oriented and, consequently, very entertaining that picks a great place to end.
There's some issues with editing as the pacing feels off and there's a few instances of "It's evening? It was just morning." but more often than not, it seemed like things worked out better.
The more action oriented scenes were trimmed too so they don't feel overlong or overwrought, and more importantly, the ugly elements are gone.
Characters are introduced at a bare minimum and the important events of the story shape their characterization rather than banal chitchat sitting around the dinner table. Saber comes across better, even rebellious, as it feels like a butting of heads with her beliefs vs Shirou's while kitchen Saber was eliminated entirely. Hell, they actually feel like partners for the most part which was lacking from other adaptations.
Even Saber running like a dork was pulled! Yes!
Illllya.
For you TYPE-MOON fans out there, is there an in-universe reason her eye color shifts red? I meant to ask that while watching the tv series.
We also get a classy remake of the original OP out of this!

I fully expect the second half to be the trainwreck I anticipated the first half to be. We'll see!

Cutting out Shirou vs Rin entirely was great and the Rider vs Shirou encounter being reduced to something so brief made so much more sense rather than having am inexperienced master holding his own against a Servant via grit.

Sure, Shirou's there to catch her after Assassin but it had this ethereal fairy tale feel rather than Shirou being Shirou.

Most people, that I've read/spoken to anyway, prefer Kaiji for the exact opposite of the reason you gave. I think it's pretty natural to root for the underdog.
Beyond that, most people don't have any idea how to play mahjong so following what's going on Akagi is very tricky where as the games in Kaiji are a lot easier to follow.

You missed Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun! That, Magi, and Hidamari Sketch S4 are the only fall shows I'm looking forward to right now. Hopefully From the New World ends up airing then as well.
Kyousogiga was a total mess to begin with, so I don't see the problem!

No Fate/Zero this week so needed something to fill the gap in my schedule.
Fate/Zero laid the trap perfectly. So many catches.

You could fill it with good things
Actually, as I haven't seen your MAL it's quite possible that there's nothing else major which you have yet to watch. But still.
I'm sort of happy.

So Satelight's working on an E.X. Troopers anime that will come with Sengoku Basara HD Collection.
Huh.

That actually makes me curious. There's always something interesting about a work that's been written from a very dark place.
So who is at the Anime Expo today. Come say hello through the magic of the Internet to me at the niconico booth.

I guess that's one way to get people to buy the Sengoku Basara HD Collection.
