Kirito jobbing? Oh my.
Sinon will rush in to save him, get her ass nearly killed, and Kirito will have to save her where in he stomps the crap out of the bad guy

Production scheduling. Toei is bad when they're not producing a lot of shows, but it's just being made too fast for any quality staff to work on it effectively. New ADs who can't have the time to fix all the mistakes create inconsistencies.Yeah the pacing is going to be amazing I bet.
Why is Sailor Moon Crystal every other week and looks like it does?
Fate/Zero - 25 END
Wow. What a show. I gotta say, this was a really fun ride from beginning to end.
Though, much like other Urobuchi works, it endsquite tragically for many of the characters. Kiritsugu is unable to see Illya again. Rin's mother survived, but is now insane. Kirei and Archer are now apparently on a quest for destruction?
Kariya just ended up getting shat on throughout the entire show, from begging to end. I mean, damn. The guy continually has worms devour him and drives his body to the brink of unbearable pain in order to save Sakura...only for Sakura herself to be the one to kill the poor guy at his last breath, saying that he was a fool to go against her grandfather. Never mind Sayaka or Homura, Urobuchi was straight-up heartless with this character.
Though I'm not entierly sure what exactly happened to Saber. Is she dead? I'm pretty sure I saw her on the cover art of Fate/Stay Night or something so she must still be alive. Right?
At least Waver has it okay, and now plans on seeing the world in Rider's honour, so that was pretty neat to see.
In any case, I'm glad I watched this show. And I think I just might join AnimeGAF in watching the new upcoming Fate/Stay Night when it airs.
Aldnoah/Zero didn't fall flat on its face. It achieved exactly what it set out to do from the moment the show began. They could have done a better job getting to that point, but the ending was a perfect execution on their intentions.
I think it's funny that after Aldnoah Zero and Captain Erf fell flat on their faces, Argevollen just continues to chug along like the little mech anime that at least achieves competence at the most basic level. It shouldn't be an accomplishment, but considering most of the mech anime I've watched in the past year it is sadly an accomplishment :/
Finished up Aldnoah.
My favorite show this year, Slaine is probably my favorite character of the year. Cannot fucking wait to see where S2 goes.
eONII-SAMA the Animation 25 END
Tomino is mecha anime's last hope!
Aria is a cat who is the president of a company that employs water goddesses on a dystopian planet flooded by the sea. Cities are in tatters and buildings are crumbling as the sea envelopes what remains of human civilization. What the foolish humans do not realize is that it was this cat's master plan to consume their cities in the flood and extort them for all the money they're worth to ferry them around the city. With the control of human transportation in the dilapidated city, this weird cat thing has become the ruling body. With his new found power he has taken to the simple pleasures of eating ice cream and pizza.
Okay, enough silliness. Aria is anime about girls who work as gondoliers (also known as Undines) to provide boat rides to tourists in Neo-Venice. This is a slice-of-life anime with a science fiction setting on a colonized Mars. This is the first slice-of-life anime I have seen that didn't involve school girls in Japan. The ambient sounds of the sea and call of the gulls as the boats drift silently against the city river ways makes for a peaceful viewing experience. The city has an old European ascetic from the architecture of the buildings. There is very little technology for a science fiction anime but that just lends to the charm of the ambience.
Each episode has a self contained story that usually has the basis of training to become better undines. The story may seem simple at first but by the end of each episode there was always some type of message being conveyed which had me philosophizing after I finished each episode. This is what elevates Aria above the other slice-of-life anime I have seen. Sure the premise may appear to be "cute girls doing cute things" but there is far more depth to this anime than what can be seen from the surface.
The animation for this anime was fantastic. The characters' outfits aren't loud screaming scifi but have a basic design that lends to the overall tone of the setting and tranquil vibe. We get to see beautiful vistas and great city architecture with the water flowing peacefully through the city. The weather had a real impact on the tone of each episode and was beautiful to look at from the setting sun, the dark oppressive clouds and the winter wonderlands.
You may want to watch more shows.

Yeah I haven't seen everything this year! Sorry. Working on it!
Its my personal favorite. Sorry if that bothers you or something. But not really.
So mecha is doomed?
GBF was already the best Gundam series ever made. Its getting a 2nd season. Tomino can do his (never actually good) thing.
Filthy non believers
Duckroll liked it too, or is darkside his alt?You reaction is curious in the face of all of these meltdowns, to the point where I can honestly can't tell if this is earnestness or parody.

Probably unconditionally it's my favourite anime. You know, speaking of Aria-sachou, one of my biggest anime regrets is getting into anime too late to miss the merchandising train. I wish I could buy an Aria-sachou plush.Aria the Animation Series Impressions
Aria is probably one of the best slice-of-life anime I've seen. The characters, music, animation, everything about it was fantastic. I give it a 4/5 and would easily recommend it to others looking for a calm and tranquil experience.
There is also Space Dandy and Jojo.
I'm too busy rewatching good western shows and playing games to watch bad anime. Aldnoah Zero and Terror in Tokyo were just huge disappointments.

I'm still watching no western narrative TV (I tried new nu Who, but it seems I'm still a bit bored with Who - even with a new older Doctor). Though I guess with the new season starting I'll be back watching arrow and I'll sample a few of the new shows like Gotham and Flash (I did like the Pilot after all).
Meanwhile I still watched I think a dozen shows this anime season, plus some things on my backlog.
Guys is the comedy in Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun good?
I need something to cheer me up.
Nozaki is cathartic, good fun. Give it a watch.Guys is the comedy in Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun good?

Also recently watched the last tv season of community, it was fantastic.
Amen. I can't remember any standout episode from Captain Earth at all.. at least AO had eps 1,2 and 12.Captain Earth is way worse than AO.
AO was actually solid for the very beginning, and a few standout eps before spiraling into insanity and irrelevence.
Captain Earth was just boring shit from the very first frame.
Enokido and Igarashi need to never work together again. It worked with Ouran, but everything since has been a total disappointment.
Pretty much everybody who watches it still and posted tonight here likes it, that's why they're still watching it but might not want to admit, despite all the OH MY FAKE RAAAGE.
