I am not excusing that. Everyones at fault. Hiyori should have confronted and scolded Yukine, but let him do as he pleases. Also Yato (if I recall correctly) was never clear with him about the effects of his actions.
Lack of communication and lack of discipline contributed for the situation. Also it doesnt help his actions has no consequences in the real world.

So I guess we now have to wait for that movie... When is it even gonna drop? Also, not sure if I'd want the whole hour to be the silly stuff that they showed as a trailer. I mean it could be fun, but I'd rather see a solid ending for Takanashi and Inami.

Yeah I wish he was just a cool looking sword cause he pisses me off thanks to his whatever attitude. At least he redeemed himself in ep 9.

I still don't know what to make of Hana. Is she a sadist? Tsundere? Bipolar? I can't really grasp what's on her mind. A true enigma. It's like the writer thought up the most ridiculous and lewd act imaginable for the sole purpose of shock and awe instead of creating character growth. I feel like the writer in general isn't interested in writing believable characters. There are still unexplained plot points, like Chiyo being disgusted by Kiyoshi for having her school uniform in his bag. Yet it's been swept under the rug. Perhaps the sequel will flesh out the characters more. God knows they're trying to come up with interesting plot twists. In the meantime, I will eagerly await the inevitable fanart.
Yeah that's what everyone says, the manga is way better, and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't at least a little tempted to give that a shot...
But also I really really hated this series.
They're both on my list, but my list is really long! And I expect, like Yuri Kuma Arashi, they're not things you can just absorb on the surface level, so I'll probably wait until I'm in the mood for something with depth.

So my question is, since the season is pretty much ending tomorrow, when are we gonna get the new thread? TUSR?

Damn this show just continues to deliver, awesome action in the first half and some great scenes to further explain the main story and objective. This and Shokugeki No Soma were my top 2 anime of the season and probably my favorite two of the year so far.

Durarara xTen 12 End
Another glorious season of Durarara ended on a high note. I loved this season though it seemed to still want to punish and beat up everyone I loved.
Mikado seems to be becoming like Izaya except a bit more er crazy about it. Izaya is calm and least happy while Mikado seems to be deluded and in his own world. I kind of hope Aoba succeeds over him. Ultimately Blue Squares = Yellow Scarves >>>>>>>> Dollars. Sorry. Masaomi v Aoba will something good and Im praying Masaomi ends up having to do something with Izaya.
10/10.
Also watching its dub. Its great.

again Izaya is caught in a dangerous situation, Kudota is still knocked out, or favorite otaku beat up, though at least Masaomi is making moves

The new season doesn't start until Thursday, there's plenty of time.
I'm guessing it'll probably happen in about 7 days when most of the fall shows start airing.
That said, i think its about time we start making OT names.
I'll start with mine:

World Trigger Episode 47
It was one of those post battle recaps that Daisuke Ashihara loves. Though I loved the episode. My Izumi Kohei showed up and had good screentime, and we got two Yuma faces. I love how they make them even last upwards of three seconds for maximum effect.

Ya know, I need to gather my thoughts on that episode more. That should have been an entire season instead of 1 episode dammit! It sucks that they made the Yuu x Nao ending the way they did, I mean, if they wanted a
crap uggh. Go ahead, ship them the entire season and end it with that. Uggh. Uggh. Uggh. I can't even.
happy ending, they should have given them a happy ending not that "who are you"

I still don't understand how
Nao's brother shows up listening to music just fine. Didn't Yuu only "fix" him in another timeline?

My complaint with this series remains solely in the pacing and not the content. Meaning, they literally shoved 2 awesome seasons into 1 cour and completely made it a mess. They could have made an amazing 24 episode series out of this story and content, but completely miffed it because of presentation and pacing. It's actually pretty frustrating because I really liked the show as a whole, but it lost/ruined an opportunity to be anazing.
How.... how did i not notice that?
you should read what i wrote last page.

Fall Anime 2015 OT BGBW's Monogatari
Finished Noragami! Good start with Yato being a good MC with lots of comedy and a darker personality than first introduced. Hiyori started out strong with her love of MMA but sadly ended up as another female anime character loses her originality and role is reduced to supporting Yato. I wish she could actually fight with fighting moves but her role quickly becomes a damsel in distress. Like I've said on here Yukine is easily the worst part of the series with far too much time spent on his arc which meant Yato being out of commission. I wish I could feel sympathy for him but his personality got worse and even his resolution doesn't erase his shitty personality. The show's strong suit is the dynamic between each character and the interesting lore set up but it could get bigger and hopefully introduce more characters in the next season. The main villain was introduced far too late and while the fight was good it didn't end up all that well in the end. It's a decent show but another one in which the OP is the best thing about the show. Seriously it's really catchy. 7.5/10 http://youtu.be/XBwZJ2kWS9Q

Yup we needed either another cour, or even just a break with another 1-cour season in the winter, like GATE and Shirayuki are doing. Mailbox made a perfect outline a few posts ago, this show had 3 arcs, and all of them could have been a season of its own.
Also, organizing my stuff for next season, yellow = probably won't like it but I'll check it out for a few episodes, green = watching for sure:
The amount of yellows in this is depressing. All look generic as heck, except One Punch Man. That one is yellow, not because it looks generic, but because I am not sure I will find it funny. I am trusting you on this one AnimeGAF, although we saw what happened yesterday with Non Non Biyori. It even birthed a goddamn meme LOL.

The former would definitely make this ending much happier and less bittersweet.

get his memory and more cognitive/physical functions back? Or is that lost forever because it still placed tremendous irreparable strain on his brain?

No Mikado, you are totally going to go far off the deep end next season. And I will look forward to seeing it. Good send-off to the season. Looking forward to seeing the final 12 episodes in the Winter.

considering all that is said is that the huge strain caused him to be emotionally unstable and have memory loss, I'm gonna bet on no. Those memories won't come back, but he'd probably regain Cognitive and physical functions given time.

Gatchaman Crowds Insight 11-12
Overall I liked this season of GCI and thought the finale was pretty great, but agree that this season as a whole felt weaker then the first one. The first season of Gatchaman Crowds felt a bit rushed with some under developed ideas and the second season had far too much of that and both season clearly could have used another 12-13 episodes to let things breathe more and give the full cast a bit more time to shine. The whole VAPE, red crowds, and rui sub plot could have been an entire 12-13 episode season into itself and instead it gets jam packed in the 1/4 of this season when it has minimal impact on the plot line with Gelsadara, the Kuu, Tsubasa, and the atmosphere. It's really too bad because while everything works it all feels under utilized and had the series tweaked a few things or had a bit more episodes to breathe it could have been a truly great series. In the end Gatchaman Crowds and Gatchaman Crowds Insight are still very good series worth watching and I do recommend them.

Nisemonogatari 11 END
Well, that final episode felt more in line with Bake direction and style wise. Once again the level of extreme violence in this episode was around the same level as the hyper violent 90s OVAs, pushing well past the Kanbaru fight in Bake.
So frankly I expected a lot worse seeing as people seem to hate this season. It wasn't as good as Bake for sure and the fanservice, well I have no clue. It pushes so far into the realm of ridiculousness (probably even passing series like Prison School) but a lot of the time it just felt uneeded. To say Bake didn't have stuff like that would be a total lie, but in Nise I'm not sure why it was pushed as far as it was. I did like how the concept of "fakes" kept playing into the story though.
Next is Nekomonogatari Black right?
She looks alright
