It has some neat references to anime/games but I thought it was a decent anime. Didn't care for all the fan service. Interesting I guess.

It was more interesting than interesting. It was really funny at some parts though.
I thought it was a better executed take on the basic idea of Problem Children. The fanservice is a turn off. I think the show is good enough with its presentation and execution of game theory concepts to withstand that negative. I'd like to see a season two.

Alright, gotcha.
Terror in Resonance 1-3
I really like this show, but I kind of wish the designs for the main characters were a bit more remarkable. Personality and design wise Shibasaki and Lisa are more interesting to me right now than the terrorist duo, although they play off each other well.

Recap episode.
Not all gloom though, as we got some actual plot development in the last few minutes. Glasses camera dude is a bit iffy but doesn't seem to be a bad guy. The title of the show was dropped and we got some vague references to some thing that happened a while ago. Onwards!

Kazuto Nakazawa's designs are great.

More uguu~ then.
You know, I figure I should just look this up:
What. lol
I assume all this stuff is built on slave labour, because I don't understand how they could make these things and have all these ships in the first place.
The limitations on warp are convenient as well:
Although I don't get why they don't just warp ships full of nukes on top of, or into, this base...
Yeah, I assume they need to make the main dudes seem amazing early on and this is the easiest way to do it.

Like in many science fiction universes, this is also explained away under the banner of "Nuclear Weapons are Outlawed".

Yeah, that's what I thought. Linking to sites with NSFW images even if labelled being bannable makes sense to me. Linking to something that's just words doesn't unless it's a banned site, which aren't generally that way because of NSFW words.

Well, not nukes but... even crashing ships into planets seems like a good idea, when you're already sending thousands/millions of soldiers to die needlessly anyway.

Nice to see them more actively pursuing the mysteries again. And when I say pursuing I of course mean further confusing!
Yet more questions hereabouts.
Wish I could keep going, the intrigue is ramping up again, but 'tis late.

Whoooo is 4423, why was there a random Illegal chilling who wanted to eat him? Who's this weird kid who knows Kanna? Is he related to camera guy?
Still personally banking on 4423 being Isako's vanished brother, though. I think that's a decent guess to go on for now. Ni san = Nii-san?

Fate/Zero
I marathoned this mainly because A.) The F/S N anime this Fall (Or retelling rather?) and B.) I've been interested in the Fate series for a while. Man, what a ride that was, especially during the second season.
All in all, I'm glad I decided to watch it, and got me anticipating the Fall anime even more.
P.S.: Rider is the best Servant.

I knew the Servants and Masters would be dying (Hell, it's a War), but damn, it was happening so fast! One after another, first Caster, then Lancer like two episodes apart. Then Kirei killing Tokiomi in cold blood to fulfill the "pleasure" he sought. AND RIDER DYING. (( I liked Kitsurugu's flashback episodes, despite them being sad (Especially when he had to blow up the plane, with Natalia in it, and the whole deal with Shirley. :c).

Rurumo 5
This is such trash. Rurumo's inability to do anything isn't endearing or funny, it's just frustrating. There are good examples of "cute girls doing stupid things" series and this isn't one of them. It's just bland.
Why am I still watching this?

SPEAKIN' OF WHICH.
Nisemonogatari Episode 8
Toothfully, this enamelpisode was one of the most masterfully unnerving pieces of animated fiction I have ever had the chance to sink my teeth into. The kind of episode you really can't help but savor, you know? So that you can properly digest it. Aw, shucks, I'm sure the lot of you'll grin and bear it, so let's just get to the bones of it, huh?
Episode Ate is an effort to see just how far one can open the jaws of what is acceptable in the realm of fan-service. The premise is one with which we're all famouthliar enough: siscons! I mean, those've been around since Chew Aznable, right? I mean, Nisemonogatari pushes those limits already, with its revelry in ship-teething Araragi and his sisters, but this particular chapter sticks out like a bad overbite because of its audacity. The episode has an initial dance of Karen providing a variety of fetishes, the details of which I won't bother to go into, but the intensity and subtlety thereof being directly opposite upon a graph. If this wasn't Monogatari, one would dare suppose that these feteethes were being mocked through their being serviced.
And then we come to that sublime epitome of absurdity, that ode to the truly twisted which causes us all to reconsider the meaning of sibling to sibling hygienics. You see, dear reader, the true genius of this sequence is that it is a stunningly subtle decrownstruction of filial orthodontics. This sequence aims to floss the very depths of what it truly means to be an appropriate sibling relationship. Note Araragi's treatise on touching! Surely this is a speech on the need to not get caught up in the heterorthodontal norms society imposes upon our mouths!
Because being a monodent like Araragi is shown to be here is the future.
But it isn't just the boldness of an unopposed uni-molar nation that earns this piece such lofty praise! Consider the attention to detail, the way every brush and stroke is so carefully rendered, how the blissful gargle is carefully recreated like a set of perfectly structured dentures. Behold this exact concept on display:
I canine't relent in indicating that the final triumph of this all is in the masterful turning of the imagination back upon the viewer. No matter how immouthdest one cuspiders this turn of events, ultimately nothing less appropriate than some fraternal oral antics occur. Though a slender brush with the dangerously abscessive does occur, I wish to impact upon you, yea, to drill in the simple fact that nothing more than some tooth brushing goes down, and that the show is positively sorridente about being able to let the viewer's imagination run wild with that. This commouthment to so thoroughly mocking both the fetish and those so entirely afraid of it is perhaps the greatest quality one might ascribe to this.
I'm pretty sure I've made several of these faces at my dental hygienist, too.
In the end, Nii-sangatari Ate is about screwing with you, just like this post.

Everybody wanted uguu.moe so it probably went to an auction. .moe is too expensive anyway.
I thought it was a bit long in the tooth, myself.
I almost did a spit-take when I saw the images.
But did you rinse, first?
Much like the show itself
I did not, but that comment was a bit tongue-in-cheek.

If we're talking about anime then by far Digimon wins.
That first Digimon movie was spectacular.
Hey, there's no need to jump down my throat over it.
I apologize, I meant my own comment. Really no reason for fighting tooth and nail, possibly staining our reputation.
Let us use this as an opportunity to brace our friendship.
It's not Araragi's fault if he really, really wants incisor.
You might even call it building a bridge.

Eh, I thought monogatari was a return to form.

It kind of is, but it is waaay less well-executed than bake, neko and mono.
At its core the series is really all about the running conversations that are tied to the overall supernatural arc, but nise was super scattershot where most of the conversations didn't really tie to the overall theme of the arc.

No one knows how to make a good decision in this anime.
You should really clean up your act. It's so dangerous it's becoming infectious.

Yeah same. I was pretty interested in it after the first 3 episodes. The more I watched the more it became another one of those stupid harem shows. The his sisters got included in the harem.......had enough of this shit.
I don't know about best girl (Shiori maybe)l, but the Makoto arc was the only bit I liked. Well only bit that struck an emotional chord.
I just thought it was mostly all equally awesome. Though I continue to be frustrated by the lack of the couple being together. For book readers...is there any hope for me?
