Look at the bright side, if they did a sequel to Sword of the Stranger the main character would probably be some moeblob samurai.

Are you sure that's a bad thing?

Now you know why it's at the top of the OP.
Idol Fight Suchie-Pai 2
I guess this is some fanwank for the video game series its based on. It's mostly introductions and very little actual... anything else. All I took from it was mahjong inflames the spirits of young women (and cyborgs and bunnies and cats ...)
Not that I'm complaining.

Yet another thing that makes Binbougami ga! awesome:
A 2D car.

Coming in 2013, animated by Brains Base!

Saint Seiya Omega 14
I feel like Yuna is getting too many fights in quick succession. Gotta spread that out, especially when you got 5 main fighters (at the moment).

One thing I love about these new age censor lasers is that your imagination can run wild with possibilities. In my mind, that girl just got chopped to pieces and only her legs are left. No other reason to censor the ENTIRE rest of the body.
You've just made those awful censors bearable.
Tsuritama 10-12 (END):
In a word, amazing.
What an incredible, brisk, relentless swell of action, tension, and emotion culminating in a heartfelt adrenaline rush of a climax and an extraordinarily satisfying ending/epilogue, all lifted to the highest heights by brilliant scoring and masterful direction. I'm actually quite thankful in this case that I'm behind a couple of weeks, as being able to burn through the final three episodes at once really enhanced the experience. At over an hour, my rapt attention to the sequence of events I was witnessing never wavered. My expectations have been blown to smithereens in the best way possible.
This really demands an eventual rewatch just to be able to witness the entire process of character progression at once. Even after being skeptical of Tsuritama's pace and characters for most of the first half, I still can't believe that it ended up where it did in a single season. Even knowing beforehand that shifting into "save the world" mode would ratchet up the drama and urgency of events significantly, I could not have envisioned it reaching such lofty heights, having managed to so elegantly weave tons and tons of characterization into events. I finally have the admiration for the show that I always wanted to have but just couldn't get myself to feel. A+ ending, fantastic experience, will recommend at every opportunity.

Oh SHIT son.
Hyouka is getting a new ED soon, and the official site has character designs for the new ED: http://www.kyotoanimation.co.jp/kotenbu/gallery/

Delicious outfits.
Also, placed them in outfits so DTL doesn't need to find fanarts for them.

[Binbougami ga!] - 1
This was okay, I suppose, but that's about it. I am glad that other people are liking it but I am not particularly enthralled with it.
As for the whole Gintama connection, it's pretty clear that the team are similar based on the comic timing and general style but the material is quite different.

Maybe my idea of
"someone kills others on team so they must have a chase and confrontation to the death with the last survivor"
...Right?
Anyone?

It's certainly a dark comedy, yes.

Binbougami OP maybe catchy with the _way lyrocs but ED is better with fanservice and the music is a throwback to the oldies(?) imo
Yeah,I realised after watching it, even Krellin would be a good example of unfortunate.

So... crunchyroll took down Steins;Gate due to licensing issues... but on Funimation's own streaming site - where Steins;Gate is licensed it was also removed (or never uploaded?) even though they have a page for it... what gives? Is there anywhere I can see the show now that it's been licensed?

I must disagree, unfortunately. I don't find that to be the best OP or the ED of the season (even though the season has just begun). If I ignore, for a moment, the bad music, the visual composition is thoroughly boring and unremarkable.
To expand a bit more, I felt like it was bogged down with drama that I didn't really care about. If they focus more on the comedy then I would probably enjoy it more.
Well there have been some hints.
where were you when blood-c forever changed anime censorship?

Bizarrely, this is one of those issues where myself and cosmic are in complete agreement.

I would give it a few more episodes then.
There was a thin, crisp, continuous patter from somewhere in the heart of that crawling bank. The cloud was within fifty yards of where we lay, and we glared at it, all three, uncertain what horror was about to break from the heart of it. I was at Houtarou's elbow, and I glanced for an instant at his face. It was pale and exultant, his eyes shining brightly in the moonlight. But suddenly they started forward in a rigid, fixed stare, and his lips parted in amazement. At the same instant Mayaka gave a yell of terror and threw herself face downward upon the ground. I sprang to my feet, my inert hand grasping my pistol, my mind paralyzed by the dreadful shape which had sprung out upon us from the shadows of the fog. A schoolgirl it was, an enormous coal-black-haired schoolgirl, but not such a schoolgirl as mortal eyes have ever seen. Fire burst from her open mouth, her eyes glowed purple with a smouldering glare, her muzzle and hackles and dewlap were outlined in flickering flame. Never in the delirious dream of a disordered brain could anything more savage, more appalling, more hellish be conceived than that dark form and savage face which broke upon us out of the wall of fog. With long bounds the huge black creature was leaping down the track, the chilling moor-mist billowing from between her moon-glimmer'd fangs as she viciously howled WATASHIIIIIII WA KININARIMASUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU.

That you smell or the comments on Eureka Seven? Because I just referred to the latter as an Air Gear ripoff in the opening episodes.

Personally I felt that the serious moments were handled well and I was genuinely moved - not that they were a huge part of the episode anyway. I can't speak for what the ratio will be in the future, but it seems a crazy comedy above anything else to me.

And the backlash begins. cosmicblizzard hype is the next duckroll hype
I dunno, that's only two of us out the whole thread! It's not the shows fault that I'm not interested in either of the lead characters.
