I feel the same way now but before this episode I figured they wanted to set up another big bad for Kuroko and friends to overcome. Although that will probably end up being Akashi this time around.
Anime of animegaf would sell 80k BDs per volume. Somebody just has to make it.

Overall, a great ending to a great show. The story is complex and engaging, the characters are fun to watch, the dub is top notch and the music sets the mood of what the show is going for perfectly.
Overall, It's a show I'd definitely recommend. It's not perfect by any means but it's still pretty damn good watch.
Now to watch the OVA.
And with that we have gone full circle. The loose ends have all been tied up, Kirisu's father gets his just desserts, and everything the characters have gone through has payed off.

Great show for those who have tight fetish. The fanservice from ep 0 is basically reduced so that we can gaze at tight.
Other than composition problem that have bee mentioned by Haly, i consider this show quite pretty. It's a harem show about group of people making eroge. This could be funny.

It was a fun albeit brainless show. I do hope we get to see more eventually.
Glad you enjoyed it, it's one of the best anime in recent months.

Is the Manga have the same format like you see in the Anime where each episode have it's own storyline and plot and you kinda following the vague main plot which is taking over the world? Or is it very different?

Well to start things off, it looks really gorgeous! I like the rivalry between the two boys over drama queen, I can already tell it's going to get feisty.
So for future reference and for my own predicament, this is; best girl, worst drama queen, worst boy, and best boy, right?
The tension between land and sea people will be interesting to see how it's handled further down the road, and well.. the supernatural stuff as well. I hope this turns out good, because it's so pretty ;_;

Here's an avatar bet for all of AnimeGAF:
I bet you will still have bad taste and your favourite anime is still codswallop by the end of 2015.
Might as well take the punishment avatar now to save us some time.

Worst boy fortunately gets much better along the way, otherwise I would've dropped the show and missed out on what's overall still a good, albeit definitely quite flawed show.

Look at that Sabo though.
First episode where I definitely finally realized that Bartolomeo sounds exactly like naruto shippuden's Shikamaru.
As said above me its a flawed show, gets quite melodramatic but I loved it a lot. The animation is breathtaking and I found the characters relatable. One of my favorites from last year.

Well that was unexpected. The earlier episodes in Akihabara were lacking but goddamn they delivered with the raid.
All that kiting reminds me of kiting Drakkisath in UBRS with my vanilla hunter :{

That's like asking why people gamble.
- The thrill of being on the edge of a win or loss
- The opportunity of being able to directly change a person's avatar
- The sheer pleasure of being winning (a.k.a being right)
Rolling Girls 2
It might've been the chorizo talking but I teared up a bit when Ma-chan was struggling to done the guise of Maccha Green. As motivations go, her reasons are pretty cliche, but it's done rather well here with Nozomi feeling patronized that she's being treated like a child, and demanding that she be allowed to worry for Ma-chan's sake at the very least. As people, there are things we do that, while seemingly noble or benign on the surface, can turn out to be a gentle cruelty.
There was an instance of this in Hyouka between Oreki and Satoshi, with Oreki not realizing that his "humility" was actually destroying Satoshi's self esteem. It's not something you see often in anime so I like its presence and execution here.
Despite there being a new Ikuhara anime, I think Rolling Girls might be the yuri show of the season.

The king is a moron , kaisar a bro , rita best investogator, Dragon CG+ Dragon CG that talks
Yep nice surmmary.
Favaro continues to live his life hanging by a thread and despite that he is still able to say " screw this fate . i'm not gaonna follow this !!"
There is potential for a good finale but now with 3 episode remaining , i'm not sure how we'll be able to handle all this plots thread in a satisfactory manner. But Hey , let's hope i'm wrong because andgels and demons are ready for war, jeanne about to be esecuted , rita in a PINCH , favaro forced to make a choice that will change himself forever and ... well i guess i need to start the next episode ASAP

At this point I basically stopped, got some food and a drink and shut myself out from the world until the show was over. I would never in a million years have left the show off right here.
Then it all becomes clear. Still wasnt gonna leave the show there.
I think most people would say that.

We made a literal break a few eggs for our goal here. Utau interestingly has 2 eggs as well.
As for the plot, I have a sinking feeling on who hosts the Embryo, just simply based on what was said up until now.

It's probably going to be Amu's sister.

Hmm, alright sounds good enough, but I just realized they made Glasshit, so I'll remain skeptical. Thanks for the input though.

Land children are cute. Worst boy is yet again proving his worth by being Mr Overprotective Jelly Douchebag.
Kinda cute that Manaka wants her Knee fish back to get Kiharas attention. Now lets see what happens to Douchebags sister and what this will trigger.

I mean, the number of shows is completely arbitrary and is only 10 because that seems to be how we rank things, but I think a list is useful to at least know what's out there.
I mean, I'm probably never going to watch The Americans, but it's one of the more popular shows that have aired. I'm glad to know about it, even if it's something I'm not interested in.
It's like you decided to junk up a billboards with something like Kill Me Baby! lol

The number of shows is not really the problem. It is the process of ranking them!

The only way i'll be satisfied with bahamut ending is if belzebuth and his subordinate dies in the most painfull way possible.
Ps: rita continues to be the best character.
Oh the mother-daughter scene was great ...

I'm allowed to spend £3million however I see fit.
/XX/'s criticisms of the AotY are well-founded, but that's also because he holds himself to a much higher standard than most of us do ourself. We are, let's be honest, filthy casuals. There are people in that thread voting for one show and one show only because that's "all they watched", and people voluntarily refraining from voting because "they haven't watched enough to form an opinion", despite having watched five or more shows.
As such, my intent for AotY thread wasn't necessarily only to rank shows, but to create a repository of quality shows for future reference. I personally don't have an eidetic memory when it comes to anime and manga, and these threads serve as a useful resource for me. The ranking merely helps in creating a "priority" list in case I ever had the need to put together a "watchlist" for someone else.
The ranking... helps create structure and context. If you just throw a list of shows at most people they're not going to respond very well. But if they see it's "highly ranked" according to AnimeGAF, they might be more inclined to check it out.
I think it really helps shows like Shin Sekai Yori and GuP.

Uh yeah I kind of can't come up with too many things to say about this episode.
You start of with the usual Chirico being extremely jaded, alway a classic. Then you get a really cool heist movie in the middle of the episode. After that everything gets wrapped up with a some mecha combat and the revelation that Chirico's past is really coming back to haunt him.

Stalker alert!
So, a visit from the Awa Awa Girls. Too bad there's not a lot to show off in Nagarekawa, but it works out in the ends.
This show is light on the comedy and without much drama, so it's more of a relaxing show. It's idol slice of life and that's fine.
Nanako reminds me a bit of Natsuki from Chronicles of the Going Home Club, just without the ahoge and with less uh... stupid people around
Yukari is a mix of Mugi from K-On and Haruka from Rail Wars or something.
Only bad character is Mirai at first when she's super shy, but at least she overcomes that. Only weak episode is the one with her as a focus.
Quite pleasant show, so 4/5 Uogokoro-kuns:

Comedy is extremely subjective so....
Wake Up Girls Zoo.
Yeah agreed. Managed to make me misty eyed.
Joan was on par with Rita till last 2 episodes.
Ending is rushed but remains decent and enjoyable.

Well, Rolling Girls is also pretty funny. But this season doesn't really have any true comedy series.
What is the joke?
Assassination Classroom I guess.
Well, there is Maria The Virgin Witch, though if you are looking for good comedy that seems to be a harder find this season.

VOTOMS previews so good.
That would be a BAD idea.
Dear lord! That's like $220
Does it even have subtitles?
Thats actually a really great value for a japanese BD collection!
I would prefer they use their talents for good.
D: Not like this. Not like this!!
His stuff is so terrible I dont even think beginner artists make some of those mistakes or are that lazy with their work. Its like he made fundamentally poor art then dressed it up with flashy details until the underlying problems get lost. Until you analyze it for a couple minutes and see all the problems clear as day.
3d a shit!
Except Firefly.
