I mean you guys could have at least mentioned how the entire first half of the episode is worthless and should be skipped, sure the second half is well made but that doesn't really change the actual content.

The entire episode was well made. If you don't like it, that's fine. No one here posts impressions for your benefit taking into account your tastes. Go cry on some other pedestal instead of whining about how you tried jumping on a bandwagon and fell on your face instead because it moved on without you. No one cares!
errr by that same metric no one cares about your whining about my whining

Hell, yes.
Bart finally makes his full appearance.
He's one of the few good things about the Colosseum parts.
Anime is really making me love that Sanji x Violet pairing.

So I'm looking to watch something good. Anything from this season worth checking out? Things I'm not in the mood for: lolis, mechas, risque scenes, senseless comedy. Things I'm in the mood for: Sensible sci-fi, decent shounen with at least a half-decent plot, good cast with plenty of characters.
I was looking at Noragami. Maybe that? I tried Log Horizon but it got way too generic 4 episodes in, and the plot was too inconsequential. Does anything of relevance ever happen in that show? Also I'm not sure if I should check out Space Dandy.
What say you, GAF?

Hamatora offers both great plot and an excellent cast.
You should give up on anime.
Frighteningly right on all counts. Somehow, Nafe, I can only guess that your fetish is knowing what everyone's fetishes are.
Now if only Regulus would come back so we could have more misty-eyed conversations on all of the hot 90s fashion in Sailor Moon.
Shiro in Deadman Wonderland kills me but, yeah, just like Blazblue I thought it was a trainwreck. I remember you kindly pointing out to me that the characters in Yuushibu also had colored eyelashes, but I might have lasted five minutes. Clearly, I still have limits even when I'm being pandered to.

Noragami is enjoyable, but it isn't all that great if you're in the mood for something specific, it's more of a show to watch on a weekly basis amidst other shows. Not sure what all you've seen but if you want a good shonen give a chance to Hunter x Hunter the 2011 version. It's all up on Crunchyroll. I'd suggest watching Gintama as well but I don't know what stands for 'senseless comedy' to you so I won't do that. Somebody else suggested Hamatora, but it also has been a bit above 'just ok'. I personally wouldn't recommend it.
As to sci-fi, Space Dandy is all over the place quality-wise and it's mostly 'senseless' comedy, so it wouldn't be for you. If it doesn't have to be of this season let us know as then there are more options.
edit: as to your question of Log Horizon, the show is decent at first but doesn't get good until the cast is expanded and they start to get into the economics of the world and why Shiro is as smart as he is. Which doesn't happen till after the rescue arc. The show shines in its way of interpreting how humans would take over this foreign world and breath modern touches to it. Keep watching if you can, there's a reason it's an AnimeGAF favorite.

The World God Only Knows: Goddesses 12
Damn.
I liked this much better than the first and second season. There were actually some proper story this time other than just to conquer girls. Keima even showed some emotions this time and that was good.
Less of the weird comedy I didn't like (except for that part in episode 9) while still retaining the style of comedy I like. Didn't like how Elsie was made an unimportant joke character though.
Overall I give it 4/5 Elsies in disguise:
And a list:
Chihiro > Ayumi > Shiori > Haqua > Kanon > Tenri > Elsie > Nora > Tsukiyo > Yui

I have trouble ordering anybody past first place, but you got that one right, which is good enough.

I tried to do your thing and a while back and tried to do this one (who's name I can't remember) that was a dark in it's initial presentation, but that basically, somehow, devolved into horrible pedo incest BDSM and I just went "NOPE NOPE NOPE GET THIS OFF MY SCREEN. Getting the fuck away from this shit, asap."

My issue with Chihiro is that she treated the guy like crap the whole time even though she has self-hating issue, then all of a sudden he's supposed to care about her.

First and second was easy for me to order. Got harder to do after that though.

I think I strangely know a manga that was somewhat like this. It was rather insane with the "interests" it was doing, and as disturbing as it was, I was captivated to see just how far the rabbit hole went.
Unfortunately, after finishing the arc with the Lemonade Stand girl, it became a lot more tame. Kind of disappointing seeing that, but hey.

There's a certain trope in anime that makes me cringe a lot. The one where a character starts singing really loud for no reason. Nobody does that. I don't go out with a friend and look at a horizon and start singing my heart out.

Its remind me when I watch Frozen and wish everyone just shut the fuck up.
Btw the movie should just stop after Elsa building ice castle.

But Disney things I watch are established to be musicals or are done for comedic effect. In anime on the other hand it just seems jarring to have a character randomly go look at a sunset and start singing her heart out with no musical accompaniment or no point to it besides "look I'm singing to fill in some minutes". It didn't bother me terribly much in Star Driver because it happened every episode and whenever one of the maidens started singing it usually signified the beginning of a battle and it transitioned into a full song.
Having said that
Nobunaga Za Fool 8
This show is starting to lose its appeal for me. It hasn't turned back, but it refuses to keep going more full retard, so now it's like "god dammit stop taking yourself seriously"
Any example?
Seriously I think this is very rare in anime.. even Macross are very rarely pull the bollywood thing.

Maybe saying 'trope' was a bit too much, but it certainly has happened in anime I watch. I mention it too because I got reminded of what my friend said last time, coincidentally, after watching Frozen (though he specified he didn't mind it in Frozen since it was a musical for the most part). Recent example is Nobunaga the Fool. The sister just walks out of the house, starts singing, then that's her role for the episode. Besides that one I couldn't pinpoint specific shows unless I went back through the list of things I've seen and remembered.
It's just a thing that bothers me, and at least with the western media I watch for the most part it's not an issue. But I am much pickier with the movies/tv shows I watch from the west than with anime. It doesn't help that I think anime just wants to rub idol culture into my face, so I imagine they find an idol and tell her 'please sing!'
