I'm actually fairly surprised Saber is higher than Rin. By a lot.

I'm not surprised Saber is higher, but I'm surprised that Tohsaka is that low.

[up][up]Saber is probably more popular than rest of the main cast put together.

[up]Yeah, 9th place is kinda low.

[up][up] Yeah, that surprised me. And UBW is her route. I suppose she takes a while to get going though, I imagine she would rank higher after it ended

Uh, should be noted that as a poll of the magazine's readers the results aren't entirely indicative of Japanese otaku as a whole

Is it me, or are all comedies this season coming with a generous side serving of feels?

Is it just me, or are there a lot of 13-episode anime this season?

[up]Probably for the best. Given how amazing this season was, our watch lists would be immense next season if they were mostly 24 episodes.

Actually, I meant rather than 12 episodes. Not that there aren't a few double that.

So since all the anime's I'm watching are nearing full or half-season completion, I figure I might as well talk about the stuff I watched.

Log Horizon Season 2: Pacing was a bit bad - but when it works, it works. Episodes 10 and 11 were high points.

Terraformars: I just watch it for the action sequences. It's not very good.

Yuki Yuna: It's pretty good. It's like Madoka Magica that occasionally takes a break and becomes a Yonkoma Moe anime.

Karen Senki: I only watched this cause it was only 10 minutes and on Crunchyroll. And I only kept watching due to the action scenes.

Cross Ange: So Bad Its...I wouldn't say it's good, but for a trainwreck it's an entertaining trainwreck.

Inou Batou: It's a harem series with superpowers - and they don't really use the superpowers. It's funny, but nothing groundbreaking. I'm more amused by the nature of the setting, actually.

Sora No Method: Is there a genre for Slice of Life anime with some minor fantasy element - cause this show is a bit like that.

World Trigger: SO. SLOW. I love the idea behind this series. But the execution is horrible. I'll keep watching because I like the idea though.

I can't understand what my husband is saying: It's 3 or so minutes of married couple humor. Short, funny, and that's all it needs to be. And that Evangelion Shout-Out.

Kaitou Joker: It's a kid show - but it's a pretty good kid's show. Is it 1-cour or 2-cour? I'm hoping it's 2.

Seha Girls: As a video game fan, this show appeals to me.

Your lie in April: I'm not really invested in this show, but it hasn't done anything to make me stop watching.

I just caught up with Fate/Stay Night. I dunno why I didn't watch it beyond the first two episodes. Maybe it's because I can't seem to discuss it anywhere without a bunch of twats bringing up VN spoilers.

Chaika -Avenging Battle- came to its conclusion. It was rushed as all hell and it somewhat sloppy in some areas, but at least it was a satisfying conclusion to Chaika's journey. There's apparently an OVA that will follow the LN's ending much more closely, but I'm happy with this ending.

Erm, not exactly. What the staff actually said when they said the OVA will follow Chaika's ending is it's set AFTER Chaika's ending. A beach episode, in fact.

Sakaki did say that the ending between the LN and the anime are meant to arrive at the same conclusion (Chaika "burying" her father, heh), just the smaller details (like Tooru's DC form) vary.

I wasn't expecting a Succubus... or Crisis on Infinite Anges

I guess Cross Ange had to get weird eventually. A dragon succubus. Can't say I saw that coming. Sylvia couldn't even last an episode before begging for big sister again. Flashback time. Still don't care about Salia. Just incompetent. Direct assault on the base. Human person was funny I'll admit. And here's the enemy Para-mail we knew was coming and the Dragon girl. Looks like the battle ready Normas just got blown to smithereens. Salia still desperate to prove she's not incompetent. And failing. Momoka may not have her priorities in place. Or the smell was really bad. Hilda is now royal transporter. Huh. Now to turn this into an idol show. I agree that Crisis on Infinite Anges is the best term for that. Base is screwed, but at least Vivian is happy. Now Dragon girl wants more screen-time.

Of all the stupidity of the show, it was caveman-Ange that got to me. I laughed so damn hard.

Ah, the lesbian subtext is starting to show its nose on Hilda's side. tongue Slowly. A bit of a "snarky best-buds" dynamic between the two, that's cool. And why do I like Ange even when she's a dick, damnit? Salia is starting to annoy me though. Sylvia, err… well. [lol]

On the other hand, this episode's animation was much worse than usual, or is it just me? Some scenes looked like Stop Motion, seriously.

[up] Admittedly. evil grin

It's a shame we can't have a thread about it, because Cross Ange is probably the most engaging show airing this season.

You could ask to have it reopened. Wasn't it only closed because people wouldn't shut up about a rape or something in the first episode?

Sterok Since: Apr, 2012
#772: Dec 14th 2014 at 9:41:17 PM

At this point it should be safe to reopen. We're long past the controversial stuff and are now unified in our mockery of it. Plus the discussions will fold into the Winter thread if it's not reopened, and I don't know if others want that. Just make it clear that certain topics should either be avoided or be talked about with extreme tact.

HighVelocityPointyThings Since: May, 2012
#773: Dec 14th 2014 at 9:58:28 PM

I don't think mockery is quite the right word. I'm finding it to be a legitimately good show between those times when it's jumping off the rails and over the mouth of an erupting volcano.

Personally I would say that it's the kind of show that has good ideas but is amusingly awkward in executing them. As long as I generally like its characters I usually like a series anyway.

I only watch Cross Ange to laugh at its glorious stupidity. I hate every character in this series.
