Just check the recent pre-order chart of winter season.
Find out only Konosuba have chance to sold 10k+ average, all other shows seems...well, going to sell lower than 5k average.
So Konosuba is the only hope to save face of this winter, because if Knosuba can't break 10k, the trend of "every season's top seller able to sell more than 10k average" since 2007 spring will stop in this season, so hope Konosuba last 5 episode can keep it up, please don't fall down!
*btw don't try to check how will Erased BD/DVD going to sell, just enjoy the show.

Norn 9 Episode 5 & 6
The fairy tales using each of the main girls was funny for the relationships. Theres a love triangle which was a bit sad since she fell for the wrong dude due to the illusion.
I hope the perpetrator gets found, ready for it to resolve already.

At least its manga has been selling well each week since the anime started.

That's true, at least the anime boosted manga sales pretty well.

How badly fiction warps science is only bothering you now?
Haha, don't get me wrong, I can suspend my disbelief for alot of shit and enjoy it, but that's because the psuedo-science or bending of reality is fantastical or not elaborated on as much.
The first episode of Dimension W shows an XYZ graph then tells me on the very same Z (or Y, can't remember) axis the opposite linear direction is declared as "W". Graphs don't work like that, you're still on the same damn axis!
Edit: Just rewatched the scene, it was the X axis whose opposite linear direction was labeled W, it's still on the damn X axis!

She finally got her chance to shine and probably has the second best transformation outfit out of them all too!

To be fair, the W axis is impossible to visualise.

I don't think I'll ever understand the extreme grudge you have against TTGL, but at least this is something!
Hi guys, I have a week off school and I've been looking for someone new to binge. Probably a pretty chill drama or action series, and probably something that didn't just start so I'll at least have a few episodes to watch.
What I don't like: fanservice, moe bullshit, bad romance.
What I do like: good characters (preferably with development), good animation.
Shows I liked in recent seasons:
- One Punch Man
- Suisei no Gargantia
- Barakamon
- Bakemonogatari (first season only)
- Tatami Galaxy
Shows I liked in general:
- Planetes
- Welcome to the NHK
- Hikaru No Go
- Vinland Saga (manga)
Shows I hate:
- Bakemonogatari (after first season)
- Sword Art Online
- Your favourite series

Yeah, I don't like TTGL, but I wouldn't throw around something ridiculous like "worst anime ever" about it!

Well, I probably wouldn't either if I was really given truth serum about it.
I just really didn't like the show, and I tend to sometimes get rather extreme with my opinions on certain things. I think it's probably more fair to say that I had a more negative personal reaction to the show than I did almost anything else (aside from tri), not that it's actually the worst anime. (Similarly, I can recognize that Man of Steel probably isn't actually the worst movie of all time, but if someone was to ask me what movie I hated more than anything else it would probably be the first thing I said)

with every cookie cutter LN trash show out there, that's quite the statement too
Ping Pong?

I mean you've likely have seen it, but if you haven't get some Berserk in you.
Order of ways to consume it:
Manga>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>movies>>>>>>>tv because tv show is poopy action scenes
Katanagatari ? It's from the writer of Bake so it's very talky but the short bursts of action are good/great, plenty of character development not sure how you'll feel about the romance. You seem fairly well versed but maybe you missed Fate/Zero ? Which if you did, would be my first rec. Other than that maybe, Kyousougiga or Mawaru Penguindrum (warning for small doses of fanservice) ?
Edit: On the other hand, I'm not sure if any of those would count as "chill".
Space Battleship Yamato 2199 fits the bill. 26 episodes and a movie. All complete. Nothing left hanging except the fact that they're making a new series which will be out sometime in the future.
I would also recommend Garo the Animation (not Garo Crimson Moon) if you're looking for dark fantasy action adventure. The animation is rather spotty in the first 10 or so episodes, but there's some great stuff along the way and later on.
All I can think when I see post and comments like this is " oh that's cute".
I mean, there are shows I really hate, but I wouldn't call them worst anime ever, because I know that crap like Ninja Resurrection exists.

Yamato 2199 is always a good recommendation. I'd own that shit on blu-ray in an instant if I didn't have to mortgage my house.
It's recent and with with not many episodes, but maybe you'll enjoy Death Parade. Drama with nice characters and good animation.

You want great characters then give Hyouka and Nana a try.
Also, did you watch and not enjoy Monogatari Second Season either? Nise and Neko I can certainly understand but this would seem odd if you liked Bake.

I would have thought Gargantia would pose problems for someone who hates "moe" and fanservice, but there it is.
That's not really the same. Gargantia has a lot of fanservice but it still keeps up appreances of being about a scifi setting with robots, pirates, aliens, etc. There's a stronger dramatic element that softens the cutegirlsbeingcute thing which doesn't happen that much anyway.
Hyouka and Shirobako are good shows with the moe on the forefront. I think a good comparison would be Madoka.

Unlike, say, K-On, Hyouka doesn't try to force some moe-ish nature into most scenes. It's actually quite reserved in that regards. If you really have absolutely no tolerance fore this kind of character design and minor moe antics then...nah, even then you can stomach that if you get such a good show with it.
Too bad the first 9 episodes are boring and inane enough to put most people off!

*rubs hands together* Oh boy, do I have some shows for you! First there's-
...I'll see myself out.
Also, Hyouka is decidedly un-moeshit. As someone who has a pretty big intolerance for that kind of direction or aesthetic appeal, Hyouka set off literally 0 problems for me. Mostly because it was just such a good show, but the visuals and direction of characters never even once strayed into that territory for me. I wasn't even aware that was a general belief?

Sure, I can see how Gargantia has enough stuff to prevent people who are allergic to cute girls from being turned off.
Boo. (The only really boring and inane episode is 11.5!)
I think you're deliberately forgetting that episode about the mystery of why the teacher did that thing. I don't blame you, I wish I could forget it too. Worst episode in the series.

Divine Gate Episode 5 & 6
Divine Gate is so awesome, Arthur friend is Santa Claus and no one wanted to believe he is real except he really is.
I cant wait to see what is there at the gate and whose wish will truly be granted.
5 had great training though.

- Death Parade and Death Billiards (watch Death Billiards first)
- Space Brothers
- Moyashimon
- Mononoke
- Gundam Build Fighters
- Log Horizon
- Kyousougiga
Genshiken
Usagi Drop
Steins; Gate
Haikyuu
And people mentioned Nana and Berserk(thought the animation is a little dated on the later)
I've tried them both and stopped after the first two episodes or so, I cannot remember exactly the reasons but I remember being pretty resolute.
You're right about Gargantia having some "cute girls"/fanservice crap, but it's mostly in the middle of the show, and by that time I was invested in it and very intrigued by the storyline and the fish-out-of-water aspect.
I've tried some of the other recommendations, most of which I didn't like (Genshiken, Log Horizon, Moyashimon, Mushishi, and Steins;Gate which I did kinda like). I'm going to try "The Eccentric Family" and "Kyosogiga" as they seemed the most interesting.
Looking at synopsis I think I'll actually probably prefer something that's more realistic / slice-of-life than a fantasy.
Hyouka I don't think really hits the moe stuff so directly, or perhaps to put it another way it's kind of oversaturated instead by the weird ponderous weightiness that KyoAni put into it (I like it, needless to say, but still)
Shirobako is... I would probably say actually straight up disadvantaged by its somewhat generic character design for characters that aren't direct rips of actual humans
It's a pity you don't like them, but it is what it is

Yup. Most of the male characters don't share the same cutesy look and are better for it.
Nah I agree I thought the same thing when that was pointed out.
Reminds me of the X-Men intro or something with Xavier saying every million years evolution just takes a huge leap and SUPERPOWERS.
Will check all of above. Cheers!

I'm sure there's a punchline at the end, but I simply can't sit through all these "hot girl falls into otaku's lap" cliches. When milk spilled on her, that was too much.
