I finally watched Fate/Zero and while it wasn't awful, I basically just watched it to get through it. So I'm kinda off anime for the time being. Also I generally prefer to wait until a series has an English dubbed version. It seems that only the more popular series get the dub treatment so I take that as an indication of whether or not it's worth watching. If I don't really like something dubbed it doesn't bother me as much because I didn't have to give it my undivided attention. I can switch to full attention mode when I need to but the rest of the time I can do something else. I get really impatient with subbed series if they don't show me that they're going to be interesting right away.
Sword Art was pretty good and would probably watched subbed episodes as they came out. I did that with the second series of Sidonia but I'm not willing to do that for a new series unless I have absolutely nothing else to watch.
