The fuck do you even say to this. I mean "your opinion is shit" would actually be a valid point.

Kotaku is a site about weird japanese culture, tumblr gifs, anime discussion, photoshop competitions, links to deviantart of the same artist who makes cartoon characters into pretty boy hipsters, brony culture, forced sexism, etc...
And once in a full moon they talk about video games and have actual articles.

Occasionally they embarrass themselves with articles of the sort seen above.

The only thing that Brynhildr review got right was that the ending scene made no sense. There is no logistical way it could have turned out like that. Otherwise I thought it was a largely average show.

I'm honestly surprised they liked this.

I liked NGNL but Ping Pong was 'Oscar bait' and objectively a better show. I found NGNL more entertaining though. Same with Chaika.

That's a good thing?
they could have done a lot worse

Well, I will say this; I made it all the way through Brynhildr, but dropped NGNL after four episodes.

Trivia: According to Nisio, he never plan to publish Nise, he only publish it after the editor force him to, that's why the qualitiy is questionable, and the fanservice is over the top. (he could be lying though)
if i haven't read Kizu, i sure as hell won't remember Episode
Does explain why it feels so off.

May I ask why you dropped it? Was it the lewd?

Does Strike Witches offer a compelling story with a good sense of adventure and character development? Do the villains actually pose a sense of genuine threat?
Don't get me wrong, I'm okay with a show having fanservice. I just don't like the potential for really good and interesting stories being thrown away just for the sake of more fanservice! And the plot description to Strike Witches feels like it's leaning more to the fanservice side rather than the character development side. So it's probably for the best that I avoid it and not upset anybody with angry impressions.
This guy also wrote a good review for the VN: "If My Heart Had Wings". Now I'm scared to read it.

Omg this is too much :
i can't even ....
WTF
Is he TRYING TO MAKE Innocent minds watch bad anime ?
B-b-but I liked NGNL. Baka
The anime nicely brought out some of the ridiculousness, but falls short at expressing the line of thinking during the games, so it has its goods and its bads I suppose.
could sora out onii-sama onii-sama?

Your line doesn't make sense.
Sora main weapon is his poker face and his hability to see the schemes of others.

I am generally all for the lewd, but even I draw the line somewhere. But if it was just the lewd I would have kept with it, I just found it kind of dumb. The MC rubbed me the wrong way and the "game" concept gave me bad flashbacks of Rio Rainbow Gate.
could blank out onii-sama onii-sama?
I honestly felt the same way after the first couple of episodes.
90% of these written by Jason Schreier
Sora has a kawaii imouto (but not blood related) who's good at thinking and using his wits, likes fanservice and has over the top reactions. The imouto is completely open to fanservice and in fact has the same interests as the onii (kemonomimis Hau~)
Onii-sama is a
product of an experiment
failed magician
Hmmmm
Edit: Sure, Tatsuya is OP, and his trump card magic is ridiculously OP, but Miyuki's trump card magic is scarier.
Quite an apt description of onii-sama. I wish I was at home, I have the perfect picture for this.
Sniper, ninja, assassin, genius, etc.

Not even tatsuya can beat blank at a game.
i'm 100% serious.
You haven't even told them the most broken thing about tasuya and miyuki the fact that
when they combine their magic together,
it works across dimensions !
oh man the Banderas avatar just completes it.
Its less of
combining magic
releasing their seals
seals Tatsuya's extra OP abilities using her own magic, so they're both operating at less than 100%.
elemental sight
directly reading from the informational dimension and the mere fact that you observe something means that you change it (Heisenberg's uncertainty principle). Mizuki can do the same with her special eyes but can be damaged if precautions aren't taken
The only mentioned case of
combining magic

Oh hey, time travel.
That should be fun.

I thought Mahouka would do better (guess have to wait for the bluray numbers). Hope it sells better so I can get a S2 of Onii-sama
I would look at the final arc's disc sales. Seriously most of the season is just laying the ground work, which is why I worried when they announced it was only 26 eps, since the source material was quite boring too.
At least something exciting happens and it goes out with a bang
Should have given us 50 eps for the entire first year

You probably should. That story is really good, and it's also fairly important for the story. I'm actually kind of surprised that you could go past it and not notice until 425.
R_thanatos

You're right. i'm aware of that, it's not like the author pulled that out of nowhere since as you said the signs were there :
elemental sight, the seals and so on
destroyed a being that was in another dimension
And i'm 100% fine with that as you said , not a combining , but more
seals release
I need to read even more mahouka.

Onii-sama is love. Onii-sama is life. This is my imouto.
Actually they didn't. Tatsuya
could launch an attack on it that strips it of its strength, but not kill it. Remember pixie was weakened by his magic.
can probably destroy its consciousness, but not destroy the thing outright.
I'm pretty sure only
Mikihiko or Ancient Magic users can seal and/or outright destroy them

So true.
It would have been so much better that way
Pretty sure that the
parasite control over his host was annihilated by what tina percieved as "lunar magic"

Transfert student is still recruiting like a suikoden hero and this cause extra ripples that affect everyone else. One of them is "princess" that was a a turning point of her life and decided to prioritize friendship.
Of course you can
I'm not complaining.

I'm really intrigued by the universe in Mahouka. You have Onii-sama's family (especially his Aunt), the Ten-Master Clans, the military, the school and the terrorist groups. I'm hooked.
SAO3 will be the first then.

What about the Monogatari series? All the current episodes from the series add up to over 50 episodes, and there's still anime episodes coming.

At least the review isn't 100% wrong.
But
Tina is pretty much clueless and always making bad assumptions
The parasite was weakened and driven out of its host but not dead
Yes its very intriguing. You've got the 10 master clans, the other 18 clans, the 100 clans, the magic research laboratories. It's a whole bunch of politics and espionage and sabotage,
Its not a matter of hoping. Mahouka as a LN is very front heavy. At least with 50 episodes, it can build up a universe as the base and give us plenty of action, instead of 2 seasons where second season may require a knowledge recap
I'm talking about 4-cour showing, that's basically unheard for anime that's not airing in morning or something like that.

I just realized that kotaku guy really likes to say "deconstruct tropes" or anything about tropes to make his argument over an anime. That phrase. I do not think it means what you think it means.

Welp.
That sure escalated quickly.
Welp.
That sure escalated quickly.
Yeah but its to be expected its wouldn't got more than 2 cour considering the other high property adaptation not got more than that too, I'm just saying that's how the business work.. Not even Gundam show will automatically got 50 eps now.
