It beating out Chihayafuru still stings.
Things could be worse. Like the 2010 poll.

I think he would be great as Korra!
Has to be 10. But still somehow below Nichijou.
Yes, it kind of does.
Ok It REALLY DOES.
This was literally the first thing I thought about when I saw the pics of Elena.
It's going to be ridiculous.
I'm setting aside some money for defribillators.

[Nadia: Secret of Blue Water]
It's an impressive balancing act for sure. I am certain that Nadia would be a much more fondly remembered and recommended series if it wasn't for the presence of the unforgivable island episodes. Even though you could and should watch the series without experiencing them the work has still been permanently tainted by them.

As soon as you start talking about polls of any kind you have already lost.

GAF also rated FFXIII higher than Nier.
Is the third episode finished yet?
Hey I'm just saying, had they succeeded perhaps Fat/Stay Nite would have been slightly less terrible.
Dunno, probably not. Koike's body is probably in a drain somewhere now.

How would getting rid of the best character from the series resulted in an improvement?
I liked FF13 =/
Condoning the murder of children, while talkin' shit about Rin? Boo this man.
Is that forehead-chan from e7 AO?

I'd say. Different goals, different environments, different solutions for a different day. It's what I'd expect from the Lupin series.
Maybe a small overarching plot of some sort, but nothing "over powering"

To be fair, I only have three plats on PS3 - Uncharted 2, FF13 and FF13-2. It still has the best battle system this generation!
Sailor Moon R movie
Oh how I loved this. I was sold when I saw how the beginning embraced the first series' eyecatch. Doubly so when Moonlight Densetsu started playing. Beyond that I was in for a treat as this movie captured so much about what I enjoyed about the first two arcs of the anime. It had a wonderfully light atmosphere that turned only as dark as it needed to be, the monster were the strong silent types rather than the sort that became prevalent later on what with individual catchphrases, and Mamoru got a bit of time in the spotlight rather than working as a support character.
I really liked the decision to make Mamoru's childhood the catalyst for the events of the movie. It wasn't touched upon all that much in the anime so there was room enough to plant the seeds of this story without mucking up continuity entirely.
Admittedly the focus shifted from him pretty quickly once events were set into motion. The first half of the movie felt more like the normal tv episode whereas the second was akin to the arc resolution set pieces. This doesn't sound like it'd work yet I thought it did pretty well. I suppose that's actually attainable if pacing is managed properly.
There was so much more too such as the new transformations complete with invidualized choruses, the magnificent return of the moon tiara, a villian who
, and other silliness like Luna P.'s face reacting to events, Ami's apparent respect for privacy lacking in execution, and everyone teasing Usagi in the greenhouse. The rooftop scene with Luna, Artemis, and Chibi-Usa was a nice callback to the end of the first series too. I did think the movie stopped playing during the scene where
Nearly twenty seconds of silence and a still frame!
The color coordinated flashback scenes were a nice touch
as were the action scenes which were surprisingly intense.

He and Fiore met each other at a time when each needed the support most. There was also that lovely little scene where he met Usagi years before the events of the first series albeit with no recollection of the event later on. I thought all this tied together nicely when Fiore finally came to his senses as he finally realized the source of Mamoru's gift to him. I didn't expect it to and had feared the hospital interaction between Mamoru and Fiore were destined to be throwaway scenes.

Some weird imagery which I suppose I should have expected given the director said:
I'm a sucker for these costumes. said:
I think we've found darkside's new avatar.

Romanes Eunt Domus
Pupils are too low; I can't fap to this.
YESSS!
Ep2's title is ".357 Magnum". Fujiko loses a bet to a widow named Cicciolina, and is tasked with having to steal Jigen's gun.
It's going to rock.
The best part about the R movie is that the villain has some sort of super human intelligence that allows him
to figure out the sailor's identities.
That and the flowers. So many flowers.
Can't draw blood from a stone, the show went on a diet of cute.
The only reason Mangaf has that policy because manga is auto spoilers for anime, that and literally every post would be filled with nothing but black bars.

Fate/Zero 11:
Japan's apparent rating scale of ancient kings:
Alexander the Great >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Gilgamesh > King Arthur
Rider is so fuck-awesome.
One thing I really think is interesting is the amount of detail and thought which has been put into the Nasuverse. One thing notable about the reincarnated Heroic Spirits is that they seem completely unaware of any historical events which have occurred AFTER they died. This is why Saber didn't know who Joan of Arc was, because she lived AFTER the King Arthur of the Arthurian legends died. However, she does know of the division of the Macedonian Empire after the premature death of Alexander the Great, which occurred in antiquity even to her. It's also why Rider didn't know who "Clinton" was until he saw the guy on TV. Despite this, they are reincarnated with relevant knowledge of the mechanics of the time they appear in, for example, Saber notes that with her Riding ability (the same as Rider's), she could fly the airplane they arrived in Japan in if need be.

With a troll ending and gratuitous violence and gross out humor?
I had no idea how far that could be taken until I watched this.
