The second half/season/cour/whatever of Fate/Zero is substantially better than the first, that much is at least true.

Just watched the first episode of Ergo Proxy. Pretty interesting. Not completely sure what's going on yet, but I like it. It sure does look pretty too.
In terms of the female lead being an extremely entertaining scumbag? Absolutely. Sakura laid the groundwork for Momoka

Cnet has left his legacy in this forum I see. Never again can those two words be together.

It's very polarizing. You don't really know what it's trying to get at until around ep 11.
I'll never look at these two words the same way again.

Best advice I can give you is that you better like experimental anime because while it starts as a very strong noir Sci fi it turns into Franz Kafka.
So yeah once you get to a certain point you'll know if you keep watching. It's a very obvious point.

Ah,ok. Looks like I'm in it for the lung haul.
By experiment, do you mean they keep throwing out plot twists?And towards the end you'll find yourself wishing they'd already stop with the experimenting
Edit:
Oh, well then, sound interesting. And yeah, I like experimental stuff. Honestly, I like almost everything when it comes to anime.

There was nothing in GAF history worse than Panty and Stocking winning aoty.

Rainbow came out in 2010 and it got 40th on the list? Gaf is dead to me.
More like there is no conceivable plot at all.
Guh, Ergo Proxy. I should really finish that series sometime. Loved the first half, but I got bored enough in the early episodes of the second half that I stopped watching it. >.>

Rather the weird episodes that maybe fine every once in a while but really annoyed me because I really enjoyed the main storyline and the characters until all that started. So I just wanted to kinda continue normally. Instead they keep experimenting with entire episodes.
And there just isn't a good pay-off in the end. Because of the second half I'm pretty sure you can call this show rather pretentious.

Huh. Well then, off to marathon Ergo Proxy.
I did, also, finally finish Psycho Pass recently, and it was really great. Can't wait for the second season.

That makes me so incredibly sad. Just gives me more reason not to care that much about the polls, I guess.

Oh man. It really puts things on perspective.
I will never trust GAF again.
not that I trusted GAF in first place...
Rainbow is pretty mediocre though, the directing just not handle the drama well.
It was probably the music.
Kill Me Baby not winning it?
Angel Beats even sniffing the top 10, much less making 7th?
The first half is amazing, it's the second half that completely fell off

The first half was good. And compared to some of the other top 10 it should have easily placed somewhere in there.

And six Light Novels, and what I read of the first one things are pretty good I need to go back to it.
But without sequels you wouldn't have the three episodes 40 of the next seasons, all of them are really good...but it really looks like there wouldn't be any sequels with the ending of the first season.
You did a good job and you still have a lot more to enjoy.
I keep mistaking this for Rio Rainbow Gate

The 2010 AOTY poll is the only one that's particularly messed-up; the later years are all respectable lists, if not perfect.

Amen.
The ending was the best part, though!
I guess it's less "mad at the ending" and more "mad at what's happened since the ending"

It's something of a mess plot-wise. Great individual episodes and moments but it doesn't come together into a cohesive narrative.

Several side stories sown together. Eno's brother is terrible but hilarious. Sayo's boyfriend's flashback was good. Suzu was adorable as a child. Suzu is still fairly cute in the last segment.

That was the best part lol.
I suppose it was slightly a mess but still one of the most unique shows in recent years.
That's how I feel about it too. I really enjoyed watching it, but the plot ended up going way over my head because of how messy it was. I'm still not entirely sure about everything that happened in it. Still, I'm looking forward to whatever Ikuhara's directing next.

So I've been dabbling into Attack on Titan again and have to say, I do still love it quite a bit.
It would however be great if it wasn't so melodramatic in scenes that would've added much more if they were staged more low-key and it needs to be tightened up some. Of course there's the overall pacing lull from like episode 10-14 or so, but the action scenes, which are fricking great imo, shouldn't be interrupted by everyone monologuing here and there. Some introspection is fine and all but don't kill the pacing of the action sequences with it.
I think AoT would really benefit from being 18-20 episodes long rather than 25.
Season 2 of it is still the thing I'm looking forward to most and I'm currently on a media blackout concerning it. Have stopped reading the manga early this year because I enjoy the anime so much more (except the changes for the last bunch of episodes!!!) and would rather like the story fresh for that. So no one mention anything about the manga and how it's doing currently!.
I mean know they surely got a much better budget and should be able to schedule better, too. But oh well, sometime in 2015!

Again!!
Insert joke about how this is metatextual because the jdrama looks like a poor adaptation of the manga. Although I think it being 25 minutes makes it at least watchable if one were so inclined (since an anime is never going to happen now).
