True that! There's no monkeying around when it comes to Kanbaru!

Is this even entertaining?

Just watch the Japanese version.
I've finished all of Oshii's run of Urusei Yatsura now! It's been good overall, despite the few problems I've had with the series (which I've talked about in this thread already in my previous posts). They even ended it with a nice two-parter that had some impressively animated action scenes. Still, nothing topped episode 78 for me. Now to start Studio Deen's run...
How was this even missed?
Not everyone is a Type-Mooninite.

You should be, we are very nice.
Embrace Nasu-sensei, embrace Saber, embrace the mana sharing...

I don't like you anymore.
This. Unlike Miku and Sonico which I don't know a thing about so I am not willing to comment on, I've watched some F/SN (never read the VNs, though) and I can say I honestly don't see the reason for Saber's crazy popularity and constant stream of merchandise.
Name of the anime?

Kinda disappointed as I found that to be one of the weaker shorts but the new staff is promising I suppose.
Anything new by Enokido though is raising red flags.

Saber is popular because the creators forced her to be popular and the fanbase submitted to it.
Name of the anime?
Your Name. The movie just came out.
Anime's Lightning.

I hope Yuki Yase as series director for Zaregoto means more Daiki Konno artworks as well.
Making an entire Monogatari episode around his artworks was some good shit.

Oh! Is this the same studio that made Garden of Words?
Hey man, she must not be forgotten!
Yeah, it's the newest Makoto Shinkai work.

I mean, I get that she's pictured as a noble action woman which isn't all that common as far as anime character archetypes go so that could be a plus, but her character in the ufotable F/Zero and F/SN was just that, with no character progression or anything, so she felt bland as hell to me.
It's also funny that she's the only Saber-class servant we're shown, and yet the rules state she forgets all that happens between games, so while we get a brand new cast of other servants for SN, Saber's back to reprise her stoic, boring role without it resulting in any meaningful character growth for her.

People still talking about Saber. It's all about Nero now with the incoming new anime in 2017.
If you're talking about UBW, that's because it's the second route, which is about Archer and Rin mostly. Saber got some some development in the first route (the one that has the bad anime). ...I think. But it's been ages so I might just be deluding myself.
No she doesn't, but that's only really important in HF.

Great episode, things really picked up, and they already reached the towers in the first part of the episode, that short battle that folowed was nice. Gui Niao also finally made his move, probably not to anyone's surprise. Curious what Shangs backstory is and what he is hiding.

She remembers everything. In the Fate route she hears "Emiya" and basically tells Shirou his dad was an asshole. You're also forgetting Fate/Zero was written much much later.
Fate/Zero 7-11
I liked Caster's first scene, but I think I had enough. His murders are just so unsettling. I hoped that the fight on the forest and the fact that everyone is against him were definitive death flags, but he's still alive, still murdering children... I was afraid that he'd capture Rin too, but thankfully there's not-Kaneki. He's like the only one that doesn't have a selfish wish and he's pretty much dead already, poor guy.
The show has so many pretty battles too. The action is really top notch and there's such a variety on the fights, because of the many classes. And even the mages are interesting as the characters have demonstrated a variety of spells, not just typical elemental magic.
On the topic of Saber, I think I liker her. She's a bit dull and perhaps not very bright, but I really like her sense of chivalry, her serious and strict personality and even her naivety. And well, she's a cool looking knight, of course I'd like Saber. Her wish for the Holy Grail was so dumb though, Rider continues to be the best guy. And damn, I spoke too soon about Lancer's ability, Rider is legitimately broken. He's the guy that you definitely don't want as your enemy.

Just how bad is S2 of Nisekoi? Is it Root A bad

It's more of the same from S1, but actually manages to partially humanize Shitoge, so that's something..

Is only like 12 episodes, probably give it a go once done with season 1 (already on episode 19).
It comes and goes, with nothing remarkable or significant happening to remember.
It's similar to S1, except there is lots of teasing of progress with no actual progress at all, which was already somewhat overdone in S1 , but S2 takes it to an another level.
Instead of bad i would say it's a waste of time.

Re: Zero 16-21
Catching back up and WTF at Subaru's reaction to Rem's whole speech. My wife almost threw a shoe at the TV.
The funny part was that after episode 21 she was angry at the fact that not only did he soundly reject Rem for stupid reasons (since he barely knows Emilia), but that he somehow believes that Emilia would be a better ruler than Crusch.

The actual source material has ended with a pretty definitive ending so I would expect them to get to that eventually.

God damn, after so many eps of mostly weird town stuff with the occasional lunatic, someone as intelligent as he is malevolent is a frightening addition. Josuke/Kira crosswalk bit was great too as Kira's theme music took over when the episode shifted back to his pov.

Episode 11 of Fate/Zero is probably one of my favorite anime episodes ever.
Rider's entire verbal smackdown of Saber is amazing And him following up with his power demonstration is up there with Domon V.S. Master Asia as one of the manliest scenes in anime.

I don't think it was a bad show, its just that if you expected the plot to go anywhere you would be disappointed.

Both skits were just so-so compared to earlier ones, but I still got some good laughs out of schooltime tsundere girl, lol.
