Statistics being what they are, I'd say recency bias has a lot more to do with Hyouka's and Fate/Zero's respective positions than any actual quality.
Is this how we want this thread to end? With another ten page discussion on Hyouka's editing and pacing and character development? Curse you, Envelope. Curse you and your lineage.
 
is it really the time to start going crazy ??? .. we have still +800 post before we reach that point it's easily less than what we do in a night ..

It took me an entire day to watch Fate/Zero episode one because I kept falling asleep.
I still haven't made it past episode 3.



I'm glad to have finally joined, even if I don't really know what just happened.

Fate Zero does start out very slow, establishing all the players and disturbing settings. IT starts to roll shortly afterward though.

Can't watch A's without the other dude. Even the movie shouldn't be watched first since that leaves out so much of Nanoha and Fate's character development.

True, but Nanoha A's is pretty awesome just for the fighting. Much better than S1.

How did they taste?

She tastes like strawberries.

Man I'm so glad I dropped SAO at the halfway point.

You made the right decision.

Honestly the only show with that kind of bias is Jojo. I can actually understand people voting for Hyouka but the Jojo votes just baffle me. At least Hyouka has the production quality you'd want in something that gets honored with the prestigious title of GAF Anime of the Year.

Some Jojo supporters haven't even watched the show and are voting on the manga.
Jojo is OK though, definitely not the best show of the year though and is carried by the source material as opposed to its merit as a show however. It deserves better. :(

Here's a good-bad anime for you:

It definitely was cute. Maybe it's showing it's age by now tho.

I've kinda been interested in finishing it so I could form my own opinion about it after one of the posters here said that it wasn't as bad as AnimeGAF made it out to be, but ZachDeKoromaru's post is scaring me off again.

Sometimes you have to recognize that things you like aren't perfect. Acknowledge the troublesome aspects. The first half isn't too problematic.

I think mine did to while watching this.
Is episode 6 really considered the most boring of the whole series? I can't imagine how boring it must be compared to this episode. Even the characters seemed bored. This mystery about Chitanda's uncle is turning out to be really boring. I hope something happens in the next episode.
And what was with the scene where they were cycling? It looked like the road was moving faster than the things around it. Maybe I should watch that part again just too see if I wasn't just seeing things...

Mayaka was the one saving grace of this episode.

Too early for food GIFs guys. Besides we need a new theme. 20th century GIFs were dope. Though we should be original...

This graph is almost too accurate.

Yes, true.
Absolutely true. Nanoha A's ramps up everything awesome in Nanoha to ridiculous levels.
I guess thats why the A's boxset is stupidly overpriced.

No one pony should have all that tsundere.



Someday I'll attempt it again, but man...that first episode is a challenge.

If its not your bag it just isn't/ I watched episode 1 with my mother actually and she mostly enjoyed it.

Misaki is not there yet. Also you can just skip to the Festival Arc and miss nothing.

Nichijou: Episode 2
That chase scene. DAT CHASE SCENE.

It's not that it's not my thing, because I like a little bit of everything, it's just the hurdle. Maybe I'll watch it with my recently converted to anime friend.
My mother still calls action figures and statues "dolls", so yeah. Anime is just "silly old cartoons" to her.

Now I feel like going to get some ramen. :( Is it good? Are there any places in Houston with good ramen?

Goodness gracious newb dude is a total twat.
The most interesting part to me still seems to be the lack of any real empathy between Hiro and Shinji. I was expecting some NTR shenanigans when Shinji met Kobu, but the fact that he didn't seemed phased by him (second time he meets Kobu apparently) either speaks of great trust on Hiro or that he doesn't really get his girlfriend at all. Also, despite sleeping together, there are not any signs that they had sex (which would have been bad since she was drunk and all), as she woke up fully clothed and stuffz. It's a relationship doomed to failure.

Great show, will continue watching.

I wish I could articulate why the introductory Hyouka episodes didn't seem to put me off as much as they did for others here, but it's been a long time and I'm horrible at these sort of things anyway. Something about really liking the characters, script, and voices, I guess.

The last two shows to win AOTY were Madoka and Panty and Stocking.
