And Fate zero was quite impressive this week too...

It leaves more questions than answers like USUAL, and it's supposedly to be a prequel :roll:

Don't worry, things will get wrapped up by the end. At this rate F/Z is going to be the anime to watch this season. I had great hopes for Guilty Crown, but it is failing story wise, I am slowly losing Shakugan no Shana III and Mirai Nikki. Of course your usual otaku stuff like Bento, C3 and Boku ga Tomodachi are good, but no match for the universal appeal of F/Z.

I can tell by the 1st EP. The characters look nice, but the way it started is pretty typical. I'm not saying it's a bad series though. I only watched the 1st ep.

djisas · Nov 21, 2011

Shana need to build, and build, until the war starts, they lost to much time on season 2 with all the romance, but its not like they could use any of this material back then or we would have been left with a huge cliffhanger...
Fate is still building up, all while still having time for a little action every now an then...

Guilty crown looks pretty, and thats it's main appeal...
C3 is doing great, it's like watching the first season of higurashi all over again, but with better animation and a lot more action, it's been improving over the week, and fan service is delivered in the same amount of crazy, jut to keep it balanced...
Mirai nikki, it isnt all to pretty to watch, and i dont mean because of all the violence, i dunno, its a show that doesn't have much appeal and the boneless mc doesn't help either, just bang her up already and make her happy, she wont kill ya if u do that...

Last exile is feeling more and more like, you know, Last exile...

16 episodes to go (ep 106), unless you won't be able to watch until Sunday, then it would be 17 (ep 107). :laugh:

Guilty Crown is going the way of Deadman Wonderland and Ao no Exorcist, average and barely eking out a story. I've already shared my thoughts on it in MAL (the thread is locked now lol):

I don't hate the show. It's just that I really don't like how it's going. Much like Deadman Wonderland and Ao no Exorcist. Can't really say I'm part of the "hype-backlash" though, since I never knew there was hype, and as October came I just put all of the new shows in my plan to watch, and were transferred to watching once I watched the first ep. lol

Like Deadman Wonderland because of the protagonist's similarities. I won't really call either of them a "pussy" though. More like "one of the best wielders of the Idiot Ball in all of history." I called it "The Idiot Ball Writes the Plot" for Guilty Crown's ep 5 discussion thread iirc.

Like Ao no Exorcist because of how long they were able to drag the show along for 2/3s of the way, then rush everything towards the end. Which I predict would be the (inevitable?) course of Guilty Crown.

C^3: Waiting for better subs.
Mirai Nikki: I'll try getting GotWoot's "not speed subs" version, so I won't be watching it yet.

djisas · Nov 21, 2011

Meh, i just usually go with the quicker subs, Hadena was kinda sucky, but what really matters is the video quality, usually i can see past translation\spelling mistakes in subs so i dont loose anything...

As for fairy tail, its impressive how it improves with every new episode...

entropy13 · Nov 23, 2011

LOL @Ben-To. "He's using THAT like a rudder? It's THAT BIG???" :laugh:

AhokZYashA · Nov 23, 2011

@bento : he is not using THAT, but other thing

shana is great, i feel quite lucky not watching the second season
F/Z is awesome, its like a movie every week, actions and stuff
C3 so far so good, i almost dropped it if not because of Fear
bokutomo, i watch it just for kobato.
ikamusume, good comedy, laughter everytime
working, cant miss this one

entropy13 · Nov 27, 2011

Just read Fairy Tail ch. 261. Looks like the new Arc's about to "truly" begin, since they were mostly just "talk" recently.

entropy13 · Nov 27, 2011

Hmm...not too keen with this. Shows some "rustiness" from me. :laugh:

Mussels · Nov 27, 2011

to those watching persona 4:

just watched, episode 8, where they figure out the mystery killer is choosing victims based on those people appearing on TV.
the young girl/cops daughter the main character is staying with, happens to be always channel surfing...

Having played the game, yes the girl would be eventually kidnapped and brought inside the TV world. And one of the future members of the "team" has made a cameo already in the previous ep. He (she) isn't the next one to join them though, that would be the other girl, Rise (the one in the preview). Then that other guy (who is the younger brother of the girl who died early on) is a Social Link too in the game.

kid41212003 · Dec 1, 2011

Is Perfect Blue a must see?

djisas · Dec 1, 2011

Well, its a classic, and one of the good ones...

AhokZYashA · Dec 1, 2011

anyone here watched majikoi?

djisas · Dec 1, 2011

No, it's a waste of time, if you really interested in watching crappy fanservice anime, wait for the uncensored bewbs...

AhokZYashA · Dec 1, 2011

well, i was going to start to watch it, but i changed my mind,
mashiro-iro is good btw, quite the typical high school anime, but with small twist here and there

djisas · Dec 1, 2011

You would probably do better watching Chihayafuru for ex, much higher quality, great characters, eye catching animation, no fanservice and a little romance in the air...
You watch C3??
Not your typical anime either, although fan service is nicely served so is a good dose of mad...

AhokZYashA · Dec 1, 2011

Chihayafuru...
will do after all the episodes of it are aired.
i watch C3, its interesting, especially when fear is in berserk mode,

I'm watching because I don't have anything else to do when it's too hot to play Skyrim. :laugh:

djisas · Dec 1, 2011

Well here its to cold, the whole game is set on hard winter when here the nights are almost freezing, doesnt help much, Rage was much "hot" to play...

Of to watch Tamayura, a nice and calming anime...
Un-go a weird one and guilty crown with extra fanservice this week...

Fourstaff · Dec 1, 2011

Indeed Guilty Crown has been serving quite a lot of juicy fanservice, but for gods sake give me a better story! :mad:

entropy13 · Dec 2, 2011

Just in time as well, when I have plans to get a 1/100 MG Unicorn Gundam, a 1/72 VF-25F Messiah Alto Custom, and probably an Armored Core model kit.
