Reading that episode summary, this description sounds about right.

Ahaha, I do not remember posting that at all.
But a shit ton of shoujo get adaptations.
And most of their protagonists are better than Ange.
Like Sakura from CCS, Hana-Wolf Children, Haruhi-Ouran, Kino-Kino's Journey, Hajime-Gatchaman, Yona-Yona of the Dawn etc.
Fuck is even say generic shoujo protagonist like Sadako is better.

Reading the episode summary doesn't do justice to the final episode of Master of Martial Hearts. It is a level of fuckery I previously thought impossible.

Cross Ange brings AnimeGAF together and tears us apart at the same time. I love it.
We need another anime of its caliber.

Sword Art Online III will happen soon enough
I managed to watch all of Kaiji S2 in one day. Fucking pachinko.
Isn't that movie coming this year?

Konosuba ep.8
This show continues to be hilarious and make me laugh throughout each episode. The evil dolls from Rozen Maiden invading the home was obvious and hilarious at the same time. They were all look-alikes mixed in the evil sprit crowd. Aqua is a bully, but gets leveled by Kazuma constantly. Also Megumin and Kazuma are a great team as well and provide great comical interactions as always.
LOL, I can't wait for SAOIII. I can't wait to make that OT. Full of backstory and previews. It will need a mod on staff to maintain order each week. It will be glorious.

I'm telling you wiki scumming that show is nothing. The final episode of Master of Martial Hearts is amazing. I don't even think you could ruin it by straight up telling people what it is because of how baffling, hilarious and terrible the execution is. I'm still reeling from it to this day. I think I counted twenty-three twists in like, 10 minutes.
I hit up Tvtropes but i'll probably watch it because WHAT

I'd argue that shojo tends to be just as sexist, if not more so, than Shonen. I would not go to most shojo manga for positive, empowered depictions of women
What the hell. I'm in too.

Definitely true for some works. I won't deny that. I'm saying that the manga industry caters to women and LBGT in ways a lot of others do not. I guess you could group the otome game market and stuff like that in there too. If anyone thinks I'm way off bat they can say so.
It's very NSFW obviously.
I don't really know what "who else is there?" even means, outside of being supremely dismissive to the literally hundreds if not thousands of shows that don't drag their fictional women through every atrocity imaginable for kicks and laughs.
I can't even listen to the show anymore.

Is this entire show about petty court drama? Because I think I might enjoy that
this is true bullying

You really do need to watch more anime if those are all the good female characters you can think of.
No. The show changes pretty radically, and even switches directors to Dezaki when everything is upended.
What are you doing to me animegaf...

I mean you're probably right. I'm half joking and half serious about what I say about Cross Ange. I dunno how to really put what I feel about the series into words because theres the shameless and bad part which I enjoy and the weirdly good parts which I also enjoy.
I didn't? I'm watching both at the same time.

Cross Ange should be put on a Let's Watch list. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Funny that FMA: Brotherhood gets too much flack for a happy ending and TTGL gets to much flack for a downer ending. I thought both endings made perfect sense within the context of their shows and were earned. I think the contrast works especially well in TTGL.
As an aside, if Rossiu was in any other anime or like a "Real Robot" show instead of a "Super Robot" show, his actions would have made sense and been justified. He would have still been an asshole but he would have been right. Of course, he lives in a "Super Robot" universe so LOL
It means anime is taking over. I for one welcome out new anime overlords
No
EDIT: What in the fuck at cosmicblizzard's description of the ending of Master of Martial Arts?

I don't mind the happy ending per se in Brotherhood, but the finale arc leading up to it was so excruciatingly painful to sit through that I had already checked out and didn't really care what happened to the characters at that point, so the final episode just came across as lame.

Moreso that it comes after watching 4 completely mediocre episodes. Even going in knowing that the final episode is supposed to be some crazy amazing ending, the prior four episodes are so generic and mediocre that it elevates the ending even further.
I will never forget.
You'd still be wrong <3
Was it the pacing? Too many "DYNAMIC ENTRY!" moments?
Konosuba - 08
I'm not sure how I feel about them skipping over an event that both introduces a character that is relevant this episode and is relevant to this episode itself (literally for the punchline) only to talk about it in a ~5 second flashback in a 'remember that time, when we...' fashion.
It... kinda works, but I'm pretty certain a couple scenes weren't as funny as they could have been.
Still fun though.

Is it me or does the Skip Beat kickstarter make the Escaflowne one seem like even more of a scam?
This is the first time I've seen this particularly phrase. Hah.

G Gundam ep.1
So, the time has come. I finally started this one off o break this afternoon and will continue watching it for awhile. Right of the back you can tell this is pretty old from the narration, to the OP and ED, then the VAs almost echo when they give their lines; it's all very early 90's style anime/cartoons. Looking back, it's amazing how far they have come when watching Kare Kano and now this. All I gotta say is at least the dude got his pizza by the end of the episode, because he deserved it saving that kid multiple times and not completely destroying their city. The MC is going to be a little crazy, isn't he?

I still don't know anything about Gundam X. It is a mystery to me.
Wait, people hated on Brotherhood's ending? I think it was pretty good, and fit into how the show developed its characters and the generally positive outlook it has on things: The cast whent through a lot of shit, and they all had some low points (Scar getting obsessed with destruction, Kimblee being a murderous psychopath, Alphonse doubting his very existence, and so on), but the show made it clear that most of them had some good in them. (end-game spoilers ahead)
Kimblee was the one who put a stop to Pride after it was throwing away its namesake just to survive, Scar learned to embrace creation and Alphonse regained his truth in his brother and even sacrificed his vessel body to help him beat Father.
I agree with everything you said but FMA: Brotherhood's ending comes up as a sour point frequently in our seasonal "FMA 03 vs FMA: Brotherhood" discussions.
It's like Eureka Seven but worse.
I heard the manga ended on chapter 108, which probably ties into religious and philosophical points of view of the author. I don't know much about her nor buddhism, but the show did stick hard to the Rosseau was right trope, which is commendable rather than using it in a half-assed way at seemingly random times for the plot's convenience.
As far as I remember, every named character who was originally portrayed in a negative light got the chance to redeem him/herself in some way by the end, except for the homunculi (which represented sins) and that professor who made chimeras with his wife and daugher. Fuck that guy.
