Maybe you should ask kayos.
My gawd, Enju is like the most adorable thing ever. Rina Hidaka is the new loli goddess, move over Kugimiya Rie.
Yeah I can already tell this will be the hnnng show of the season.

What anime is this from?
Edit: Black Bullet? I guess I'll have to watch the show now.

I love how my reasoning as to why Black Bullet might get more people watching here in AnimeGAF is because of its loli-centric premise.
ANIME.
ANIME.
It looks adorable.
Keep taking those L's, Kayneth.

It seems like it'll be Generic: the Anime characters/premise with a slight twist in the grim dark setting.
As long as the anime doesn't all of a sudden decide that it would rather focus on a magical high school or just high school in general I'm game. The ages of the characters won't be an issue if they're just a down-in-luck group of chars.
But it's hanging by a thread due to the loli hijinks and the loli NBC Heroes premise. (Save the Lolis, Save the World). So it better impress me with the next few episodes.
I don't expect the humor to get any better. If anything he might get some redeemable characterisitics to his character, but then he'll go back to being a pervert. Only difference is that maybe one of the fem mcs will see him in a new light and/or fall in love with him.
I too enioyed his Fate Zero works for being funny/cute, but I wasn't laughing due to the ecchi (besides that one part of Kiritsugu's stiffy dying due to Saber). This show only seems to be ecchi.
At least it's not the anime Kirino wanted to make.

Yup. Still do. This all could've been avoided with a few different choices.
Plus I imagine someone is gonna pull some magic out of their butt and make all this irrelevant anyways.

Woofington seems to be mentioning lolis more than anyone else, reaffirming my suspicion of his not-so secret love.
No Game No Life 01
The second of the MF Bunko Five this season, and of the three, it's made the strongest first impression. There's a unique visual style for the thing, and while there are some similarities with Mondaiji, this one clearly has its own style going for it. I don't want Sora to end up overshadowing everybody, but it's only been one episode, so there's still time for Shiro and the rest of the cast to make their presence known. The premise of the world is an interesting one, and the light bits of fourth wall breaking, including Sora's reaction to the backstory of the world, give this one some interesting potential. Got a really nice opening, too, and Shiro's pretty cute.

Remember, he did bring us the word "lolilicious".
No Game, No Life was not fun, it was pain.

Anime viewers and their reaction to the "i" word.
The NGNL screen suggests they made Sora as epic as I expected him to be living up to my view from the light novel chapters, cant wait to watch it this evening, best gamer.
More catching up...
Wixoss 1
Oh, so it's pronounced "why-cross"!
This kept reminding me of too many other shows in terms of its dialogue; as soon as I hear that anyone is fighting for a "wish" my thoughts stray to Utena and Madoka (more often than not the latter, as clearly as with Madoka this is going to go down the obvious route of "why doesn't this boy like me?????" as a catalyst for HORROR). While the story itself is of little interest to me and the card battling lacking in any kind of internal consistency -
- it's clear that it's competently made and the visual direction isn't bad when the show's trying to be creepy.
Not one for me, but not disastrous by any means.
Blade and Soul 1
Got bored, turned it off. I don't really enjoy these sorts of vaguely historical-sounding/looking fantasies filled with sexy women and this seemed particularly flat and uninteresting in terms of both direction and plot (although it had a nicely put together flashback). It reminded me very much of the good old bad old days of early 00s Gonzo shows - visually very reminiscent of things like Basilisk and Burst Angel, although perhaps I'm just projecting because I know Gonzo animated this.

why have we got lines like "why is she already this strong?" when playing a card game bound by rules, not physical strength?

I read a few chapters of the manga, but I guess I stopped at some point because I didn't feel like the humor was really developing. So there's not really a reason to expect the anime to be any different.
The scene early on where his assistant was groping herself for reference wasn't portrayed in a super-gratuitous way, but they still lingered on it so long that I wondered if it was trying and failing to be arousing or something. In manga, you can hit a joke like that so quickly that it wouldn't register, but you have to be more careful when adapting it to anime. And I guess they weren't that careful.
Ah well. Better luck next time, Hiroyuki.
I seriously don't get the negative rewies and the comparison to Mahouka. This protagonists are good at games, but are by no means perfect. They really have flaws, the most obvious is not being able to work with real life. I sure hope, that they are going to learn how to "play" the "game" of life and understand that it's not good to have a world work like a boardgame.
Characters are nice too. Neither double Tsundere, nor obvious incest. Yet, that is.
I think it was entertaining, I just have to get used to the LSD filter. I am hot for some crazy games with smirking and failed keikakus.

Spoiler for No Game No Life.
They're not blood related.
Have fun seeing others complain about not incest.
Does she want his dick? Please don't tell me she does.
Kobato. 2
Kobato tries to fill her bottle with broken hearts, but it doesn't quite go as planned because people just don't let you immediately do that when you ask them on the street.
Then we meet the resident asshole Fujimoto.
I want Ioryogi to literally grill him until his twisted knickers get burned to cinders. There should be a limit to how unreasonable and grumpy one of your main characters is allowed to be

It seems as if Fujimoto will become Kobato's future love interest or the final broken heart to be healed before Kobato can end her task. He is a dick. An unsociable jerk, who'd rather spend more energy scowling at Kobato for generally no reason (don't gimme that "do not pity our school" crap you prick), than play with the kids in the pre-school they're in.

Talk about a manga that goes nowhere at all. Other authors have to deal with salvaging sales and editors who threaten to cancel their shit but CLAMP is all like "WE DON'T GIVE A FUCK WE'LL DO WHATEVA WE WANT".
