I should really watch the first season now that I watched Fate Zero and will get some of the back reference...
Is it really worth the time spent on it though?

It's a fun magical girl show , season 1 can be watched by anyone without any worries.
It's nice to get a good feeling Fate show after all the drama with UBW. It was mostly an intro to our usual cast with some mana sharing lewdness that is expected but I wish wasn't there since it's an interesting take on the Fate universe. I'm glad Shirou's in the show more often considering how different he is plus his relationship with Sella is great. Next week is a beach episode so expect more lewdness. Hopefully a battle happens sooner rather than later. I'll avoid posting pics so I don't get banned. The new OP and ED are good but nothing special.
Eh... I've only watched the first three episodes, but I'd say so far it doesn't look like I'll be enjoying it at all. EP1 was off-putting with how it was dead set on delivering fanservice for the sake of it.
I guess the twist might come later, but so far it looks like an unremarkable show with the Fate skin slapped on it.
It's a fun show with good battles but be warned that it has a lot of lewd moments with little girls so know that beforehand.
Wait. Having read your latests posts and having looked at the thread (sub)title, does this mean what I think it means and mana transfer is done with less CG dolphins than the latest UBW adaptation? Ugh...
They share mana by kissing there is no sex. No dolphins or anything like that. Only one character needs to so far.

I will definately add it to my instant recs in the future alongside Clannad. What an amazing ride. It reminds me a lot of Little Busters, where the journey is good along the way, but the ending blows your mind. Soo soo good!
Fanservice is fine as long as it like what I whitnessed last week int he Daddy show....
Umm, this is where I bounce....

Prison School 3
THIS WAS GLORIOUS. I died from the beginning to the end. I think this was one of the episode where the pacing ruined it the most, with Gakuto's desperation being a bit too short, they should've focused a bit more on it for better emphasis. Comedy moments going fast works perfectly, dramatic and serious moments not so much (chairman and gakuto scenes).
I still feel the Chairman is so much weaker than it could be, in voice and delivery. Well, the other guys are all perfect at least, especially Gakuto which is the true star of the show in the first half at least.
The face game is still top tier, those closeups are amazing.

Pretty disappointed in this episode considering nothing really happened that moved the plot besides a cook off between Soma and his dad. Looks like we'll be going back home soon and check up on the resturant which is neat. Hopefully next episode will pick up the pace. It was all worth it to see Megumi in her PJ's for the whole episode. Wait Prince Apple was pretty good.. Ah fuck it every episode of Soma is just good.

Soma 16
They just spent an entire episode on Soma vs His Dad. There is zero chance they go all the way on the elections now, they will stop and save it for another batch of 24-26 episodes. Also now that they are actually doing the Kaarage arc there's negative chance they go all in. Did we mess up or was this actually moved? I thought it was before this.
Not to say that this episode was bad because it wasn't. I prefer them taking their time. Also this means MORE SOMA WOOOOOO

Same here. Fanservice for the sake of fanservice isn't my thing, and if the show's just a run-of-the-mill magical girl show except for that then I guess I won't be missing much.
Souma - 16
They are'nt skipping the Karaage arc, yay!!
But know I'm more confused then before, lol. That arc should take 2 episodes, so that leaves them with only 6 episodes for the next one (and with next one I mean
.) I don't know if that's enough 
Buuuut, since they were spot on with every single episode so far, I guess I'll just trust them on that.
On to the episode itself: Great. Like always. We learn why Soumas personality is the way it is and how overpowered his fathers cooking skills are. Apple prince was hilarious. Lot's of Isshiki fanservice and morning-Megumi
Still don't like the new ending. I think I'm going to just skip this from now on, can't stand the singing. A shame, I've watched the last one every time

I am a sucker for misunderstandings and holy shit did I laugh my ass off! The shower and heel scenes had me in tears!
As always a nice amount of terrific facial expressions. This is great.

Lovely Complex ep.5-11:
Alright, now this is more of your classic RomCom action. Lots of comedy with a small dash of romance in there to keep it interesting. This one has had some good moments and some better laughs. The different faces they make in this one definately rival those in Nisekoi. Excellent facial expressions for every emotion... Good times with this one!

I pretty much only like the New Ending's visuals because you know Hisako. But man if only it had a better singer then the Ending would of been much better because the singing is pretty bad. Oh well I'll just put it on mute and just watch it.
Honestly they should of just kept the song from the first Ending and added it to the new visuals.

Symphogear GX 04
You know what's fucking awesome? When characters use outfits/powers/weapons that another character has been using the whole time, although it hardly counts here because Maria already kinda used Gungnir the whole time. It's also awesome when the villain stops the character songs mid battle, which happened TWICE. I liked Hibiki better when she liked to punch things and not cry about bullshit. Hopefully her moody streak is over. And why does she sleep in the same bed as Miki? Did they already get married? Do they live together?
I'm assuming the villains need Symphogears or singing for some reason for their plan but then why did they break them in the first place if they needed them ahhhhhhhHHHHHH, they at least need Gungnir or some shit to activate the Ley Lines, yep that's a Symphogear plot. I don't expect it to make any reasonable sense. The autoscorers don't want to kill them, they withdraw whenever they have the chance to kill them, so they need the songs I guess?
That cliffhanger, I knew it. Powers getting broken = get a better power, especially since this is the third season. Can't wait for Tachibana and Chris to show up at the last moment in new Gears next episode to save someone
Howcome CR only subs some of the songs? It's annoying! Sub them all!

I think the pacing is ruining some scenes for me, the burying scene for example. I also didn't really like the "misunderstanding" banter between Shingo and Joe, it fell kinda flat to me as opposed to the manga.
It's still good though, shower scene was perfect.
[Slight manga spoiler]

Is there any show where every episode ends on a cliffhanger except Symphogear G and GX? I think Geass R2 might be the only one that is close

I'm not sure if EVERY episode, but Attack on Titan was fucking annoying with cliffhangers.
This crap sounds garbage. Do people actually watch this and enjoy it unironically?
Nah I've seen that one but I might need to rewatch it. I don't remember it being all that memorable but after TWBB, I'm willing to give it a 2nd chance.
DDL earned that Oscar.

Uh, that was some audition. Ichigo and Otome just stumbled their way to victory. Otome in particular kicked everyone's asses. Appropriate that Ichigo gets the role considering her predecessor. Yurika isn't very good at this team thing. Ran isn't very good at this winning thing. She's lost almost every solo competitive auditions. Aoi stays winning. I didn't mention this earlier, but Naughty Detectives seems like an odd name for a role middle schoolers are playing.
Oh yeah, Prisma Illya is out. I like magical girls, and I mostly enjoy the Fate universe, but I could not get into that at all. Never clicked with me, in manga or anime form. Not really sure why.

Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya 2wei Herz! Episode 1
The best mom , takes the best decisions to protect her familly :
Poor shirou being the only male in the house ...
Anyway , this episode delivered as an excellent adaptation of the manga.
Next week is the truth serum episode ....i CAN'T WAIT.
Damn this opening , spoiling/forshadowing events from 3rei, at least they didn't show the main antagonist of his season.

Hey, Zero was good and the latest UBW adaptation was somewhat meh, but still decent. I'd take a mispaced plot over "magical girls: now with kissing" any day.
I am guessing yes and that give me a bit of a shudder down the spine. Like I wasn't expecting such detail in the kissing.

Oh no, only the comedy and silly, crazy and awesome facial animations are similar to Nisekoi. There is no harem here. It is a classic Romcom in every sense.
