Better or worse than Nayuki, Misuzu, Mikuru, Nagisa and Mio?
Going off what I've seen combined with quick GIS
Mikuru > Nagisa > Chitanda > Mio > Misuzu >>>> Nayuki
And keep in mind Mikuru is my least favorite Haruhi character.
Doesn't have Fate/Zero. Not perfect.

Another really beautiful episode, but, unfortunately, I do have one or two complaints and worries.
All in all, a thoroughly interesting, melancholic, and beautiful episode, that was lessened a bit due to a few problems I have with the narrative. It remains one of the best of the year though, without question, and I do have confidence that it will conclude the story in a satisfying and intelligent fashion.

Although somewhat foreseeable, a few of Shimao's actions in this episode, particularly having sex with Rokka, were rather disappointing and further established him as the character I like the least. Although the writing seems to want to portray him in a highly sympathetic manner, he ultimately takes a few steps back whenever his selfishness goes into overdrive. He also lacks the clairvoyance to understand how this could end up hurting Rokka quite a bit, if ever she learns the truth. He's still quite sympathetic, but his inability to let go has been dragged on for too long, and I'm hoping this development will finally occur in the next episode.
Hazuki continues to be considerably more intriguing, which is why the lack of focus on his character over the last several episodes has been rather disappointing. He's nearly become completely secondary. His selflessness in his ability and willingness to carry the burden of both Shimao and Rokka allows his character to be far more endearing than Shimao's. Due to the present circumstances, I was rather hoping there wouldn't be any further progress in the relationship between Hazuki and Rokka until he returned, but, unfortunately, he's completely missed out on most of the significant developments that have happened up to this point, all of which might then be seriously threatened if she becomes aware of Shimao's existence within his body. I hope he'll be able to return soon though, so there could actually be some meaningful growth between them before the story concludes.

It's not, but as far as straight adaptations go, the other roles are vital while the writer is not. At least in my experience it is.

What do these have to do with each other?

I can't stop watching it.
I agree strongly with all of this.
Hazuki being locked out of all the real-world character development and still being stuck inside Atsushi's storybook dreams or whatever isn't what I was hoping for.
On the other hand,
mermaid Rokka-chan with Hazuki's shirt is adorable

For some reason that gif reminds me of PEZ dispensers.
we need some of that stuff in the states. Im so fucking pissed off at the US animation fanbases wanting saban back. and how they fucking up wwe even worse than is now.
how does facism taste now you fucking brony sons of bitches.
I don't know why I found this so funny.

I don't like this guy, he creeps me out. This was a bit of a weak episode too, wasn't that funny.

Kingdom.gifs is the best comedy anime of the season.

Indeed.
The start of the show promised a direction that it altered all too suddenly. The storybook approach was rather interesting at first, but lately it's only been used as a device to confirm and theorize whatever is happening in the real world. I'm hoping that we'll get at least two episodes of proper development between Rokka and Hazuki before the end.
For anyone who's interested, here's the preview for the next episode.

Well, it depends on how much they hate working for that studio, I guess. I'm pretty bad at drawing, but I like some of my illustrations. Maybe seeing their work moving on screen might be nice, even if there are some big flaws?
Then, again, I'm not a professional artist forced to work for hours for presumably bad wages, unlike them...

You're welcome.
Should've been Seal of Quality, but I guess this is good too.
Ayup. This is getting ridiculous.

I will say, that I did dislike and dislike all scenes of them running in corridors at that angle.
The animation style did work amazingly for the schematic flythrough of the palace though.

Akkii and K are really cool, the slepnier bike subplot point was fun and gave great scenes. Though pretty ridiculous when the girl touched it and her clothes were completely ripped off. Ake no Tasogare was a interesting premise for the action and such.

especially with the Akkii and K combo at the end to truly save the day
How can you hate Momo? :lol

Why does a turtle have suits?
I knew I was right about pandas!
I think this is the true sad relationship anime of the season. I figure Handa is going to get cockblocked by his animal friends until episode 30 or 40.

Eureka Seven 1
Attacking the backlog in earnest. Anyway, I think AO started off much better and faster. Theres no real sense of immediacy in anything and all the groups thus introduced are just bland. The military group and then the random three dude observers arent good so far. Ao, is definitely much better than Renten was (JYB doesnt sound so great as him, IMO). However, I guess Renten does seem interesting enough to want to follow, assuming Renten does get involved fast and doesnt dwadle... The girl is really annoying unfortunately, but Nirvash is cool (car mode, what even, nice). Guess Ill keep watching it whenever.

Hanako.... Hanako... Hanako...
Nice ending to the story though.

I love how often that scenes in Kingdom are reliant on emphasis lines because they can't seem to find any other way to convey that what's happening on screen is actually supposed to be dramatic or exciting or whatever.
Umm, what does a political ideology like Fascism have to do with an obsessive fanbase?
It's even more hilarious with the music, sound effects and OVERLY DRAMATIC VOICE ACTING.

To think, Polar Bear Cafe and Kingdom both come from the same studio.

Yall weren't kidding when you said this show was slow and kind of boring at first.
I watched one episode and then was so lulled to sleep I didnt wake up till 7 pm.
Chitanda is super cute though and Mayaka isnt bad. Kind of a show about cute girls being cutely curious about boring things.
No, A cat is fine too started from a Tsukihime doujin called "That's why I assult Ren"
Take your time
