huh. I thought the prequels were hated straight out the door. I've never heard of people liking them initially then slowly becoming soured.

I'll say too late for that.
That actually happens?
It was a two week or so break.
Maybe I'll actually do that next season.
This is only counting what I'm following this season. I'm not even starting on my backlog.
Update your MAL.
I have one.
Its not fully updated though.
Its also missing quite a few running series.

Also LOL
I actually paused the episode to come and post this, went back to watching, and then came the joke :/
The finale was fun too. Of course it had to end with a
boom

What if they're all the good ones?
Well he wouldn't say "It doesn't sound fun anymore" now would he?

You really need to work on watching shows one at a time.
The amount of money they made is a testament to the contrary. I don't know about the criticism industry, however.

I liked the way it looked. It was true to Adachi with some modern day feel to it - I guess one could consider that cheap and ugly. Nice to see something hearken back to the days of Touch.
Great show but honestly didn't enjoy it as much as I did Touch. I guess I'd feel differently about Cross Game if that was the first Adachi experience I had.
Toward the Terra was
TL man. Also the best show of 2007. Also another a show that intentionally felt "cheap and ugly" (and probably was) in order to keep a specific style. Either way the visuals are the least important part of a good anime.
Ive tried.
It doesnt work.
However I have been able to catch up on Space Brothers, Accel World, Tari Tari, Sword Art Online, Hyouka, and Jinrui. For me thats an accomplishment!

I just don't see how watching so much shit even works. I would forget what happened in the previous episode by the time I came around to that cartoon anyway.
Yeh thats definitely a problem.
There is just WAY too much airing at any one time and I cant watch much during my work week. I have to wait until my off week and even then I have other stuff that I do.
Its going to start all over again in the Fall/Winter.
They should just put the Enkidu's flashback IMO.
That one and why they don't explain
Sola-ui intentionally fall to Lancer's curse
Both doesn't take more than 10 second to put in anime, and just have many layer to add to the story.
I know, right?
You'll need to explain this a little more.
Yeah, that's sort of how I feel, too.
The two techniques that jump immediately in to my mind (and obviously both would be easier said than done) are intercutting and stringing out the material earlier. But the latter seems like something they tried to avoid (Kiritsugu's backstory was given in pieces in the novel, and is boiled down into episodes in the adaptation), and the former would be tough with the Berserker fight, which is already happening at the same time as other stuff.
The editing in those last episodes feels like parts are missing, so I wonder if they had originally planned to include those cuts at the end, only to discover too late that they'd be too ruinous to the pacing. At least with Berserker it feels like they're able to reach some kind of compromise in the end.
So is Fat/Zero shit now?
I remember the last episode I watched was the one with
and it felt somewhat disjointed with a number of character's action and motivations not making much sense. Are you telling me it gets even worse than that?
Maybe the situation with the first release spoiled me but I was totally expecting a lot of that shit to get fixed.

Saber chasing Rider around in her ugly CG bike

well, reading that image Jarmel posted was really disappointing, those two episodes were bad with all the jumps in their current form actually, I don't get his excuse. specially after educating myself on the novels they are even more disappointing considering how much time they wasted elsewhere but they omitted really important scenes right from climax of the story. those scenes are really important,
. these are very important character moments and conclusions, you can't just cut them like that, the info is needed.
so, what they have added to other episodes? details are out?
specially Berserker ones, without those the viewer doesn't even understand what really happened after he/she watches the scene in the anime
so, what they have added to other episodes? details are out?

You cajuns all have the same idea!
Too much fun and episodes will just wiz past, until you get depressed when you find out that there's only 1 episode left.
Why do great shows have to end. T_T
First episode something something.
All good things must come to an end. God knows what that means for Sazae-san et al.
First episode wasnt shit either. IT was necessary exposition. I liked it.
My mom even liked it. Except the
worms

Better to end than to run past your "good by" date.
I think I got a general gist of it, in that
Lancelot fucked up something and Arthur didn't blame him for it.
Well they obviously couldn't put the info earlier as it would have ruined the twist of Berserker's identity. Most people had already figured it out but putting some big flashback focusing on
Lancelot

I wouldn't say that. The particular moment you mention is really the only one where I felt character motivations and actions didn't really match.
They worked around the stuff they left out effectively enough that I didn't feel like I was missing vital backstory. The issue was how they cut between fights. It made it feel like they were skipping stuff in those scenes.
I'm kind of surprised they didn't extend them, even just as an indulgent bonus.
Well I understood that it was
Lancelot and that he hated Arthuria due to some stuff in the past.

Has this Jormungand: Perfect Order PV been posted yet? I uh, I don't think so but hopefully not.

I can never tell when most of these are different from previous ones, and having lots of scenes from season one doesnt help :/
Looks like the direct feed version of the c82 PV.
La tuya que!
So far Shiryu is the only one who has managed to get laid. All the other ones are just aimless bums, as expected.

So, what's her name again? And her general state of mind? I don't remember the lyrics to that song!
Methinks she was granted the title Koko at birth. There are rumours that she is mentally unsound.

Unfortunately this fishing was 1000x less exciting than that found in the anime of the year, Tsuritama. So glad next week is the final episode.

So much broness going on, ugliest anime dog ever aside. I'll miss this arc, it was incredibly lovely and satisfying, but I'm glad we are finally moving into new territory. I also like how this show goes beyond glorifying and vilifying certain characters, and instead goes out of the way to make sure all of them seem relatable and believable.
P.S. The idea that Rocky 12 would be starred by animals further confirms Hosodapocalypse's success. And anime sound directors needs to start using real dog soundbites when voicing dogs.
