This god damn show.
My only complaint with this episode was that some segments were really marred by the very obvious lack of actual animation. This has been true, since, well, the beginning of the series and it's hardly a new thing but it's still the shows biggest problem.

Preface: I'm not a big anime guy. It's always intrigued me but I've never really gotten deep into it.
I just finished up Sword Art Online and absolutely fell in love with it, though I wrongly assumed that it was an ongoing series and there would be more episodes every week.
So... I have this Crunchyroll membership and I figure I may as well put it to good use for a couple of months.
Naruto and Bleach seem to be pretty popular on there, and they both seem interesting.
Are they worth a watch?
I am also open to suggestions on anything else that's on Crunchyroll that's worth a watch.
There are some popular things like Madoka and AnoHana on Crunchyroll that I still haven't gotten around to seeing yet, but of what I have seen, my top 12 on there (in alphabetical order, titles as they appear on Crunchyroll) are:
Ano Natsu de Matteru
Bodacious Space Pirates
GIRLS und PANZER (Final episodes coming in March.)
Horizon in the Middle of Nowhere
Kokoro Connect (But it's unclear if/when they'll get the final four episodes.)
Oreimo (As others have noted, the "true ending" is only on the disc release.)
Queen's Blade (Unfortunately they don't have the second season. Haven't seen Rebellion yet; heard it's disappointing.)
Saki and Saki Episode of Side A (Final episodes aren't out yet, but will be on Crunchyroll at some point.)
School Days
Soranowoto (There's an episode 7.5 that's only on the disc release.)
The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya
YuruYuri
I would have said Code Geass, but they seem to have removed that recently.

Nekomonogatari/Cat Story
After watching the whole thing, I can see how the first part with the Tsukihi would seem out of place, but when put into context with the conclusion that Ararararararagi reaches at the end of this particular arc, I feel that it sets up the feelings that he may or may not have for Hanekawa. (Namely, "is it love?").
I suppose I'm also crazy in that I think I probably enjoyed Nisemonogatari more than this arc, if only because this felt so standard compared to what felt like the "next phase" that we shown in Nisemono. The stakes were higher and the confrontations were more interesting (or talky, I suppose), and it was a bit strange to go back to the Bakemono-style arc... especially since, of course, there was already the Tsubasa Cat arc that was, of course, a direct sequel to the Nekomonogatari (Black) arc.
I'm excited for whatever they're planning for in 2013. I think it'd be hilarious if they finished adapting all those other stories before they put out Kizumonogatari though, if only because of the SHAFT-iness of the whole situation.

They're just a collection of yaoi fangirl jokes. Better than the main show.
Yes, she really is. Cant wait to see episode 13.
Imagine how godlike this show could be if Mor clashed full on with Ren. Dat voice and Dem thighs. Son of a bitch!

It was right to be hyped for this.

I was gonna write a more elaborate response but this captures it perfectly.
The time has come.
Well its not THAT offensive or controversial.
How long is it until the :forumname singularity where that's the only thing any of us actually write?
Points :Chet signal into the night sky.
It's just a matter of when!

The rest of the world is just little crybabies.
I wasn't going to bother at all, but yes, it certainly works.
Yuri here I come!
What? I'm not allowed to hate on The Little Mermaid. I didn't like the movie. It just didn't appeal to me.
What confused you in it?
To give you a better idea, ABC Kid's usual programming is closer to Sesame Street and Bananas in Pyjamas. Although that's at the 3-5 afterschool timeslot, I guess. To put it another way, the show immediately following the Madoka preview was Ouran Host Club.
How does Disney expect me to relate to mermaids?
Nothing. I just didn't like the setting or the premise. There are other Disney movies I'd rather watch like B&B.

The show? or the book? I found the show to be just a sex-crazed escapade that wasn't particularly enthralling. I'm not saying the show is bad but it's not excellent either.
At first I thought you might be talking about Bedknobs and Broomsticks, but you're probably not that cool.
I'm sorry if you don't like Hitomi, Van and Allen. Do you find the villains - Folken and Dilandau in particular - interesting, or at least sympathetic? If you've just watched episode 8 then
you've had the obvious reveal that Van has wings
And what did you like about the setting? Was it purely the civilisation in Fanelia that interested you? I will admit that Asturia is a very traditional Western fantasy setting compared to the steampunk of Zaibach but the series goes in more interesting directions in the next arc as suggested.

Hating on the use of :kayos is so :Jintor. You will come after our :SDBurton and :chet next. Monster!
I'd be inclined to agree with you, but then I remember the UK had the Watership Down animated movie. I remember it well *shudders*
Madness!

The sad thing is that I can't name a single other phantasy franchise. lol
Never even heard of it. I was talking about Beauty and the Beast.
Am I correct in assuming there are no furtive beams of light peskily obstaculising the plot for this one?
Oh I thought it was going to be something like how can there be the birds and the bees when one is a fish.
Shameful.
Shameful.
I might actually watch s3 so who knows.
Don't worry, I felt bad enough when kayos said he liked B&B after that.
whatever redshirt, you're the one who actually watches that stuff!

I watched Watership Down when I was 4 or 5 together with a friend and her father, but they fell both asleep halfway through and I was watching the rest alone.
My poor little childhood, scared me for life.
Edit: holy shit just realized that my avatar might be me just a year prior.
Edit2: lol doublepost.
Honestly, i don't care for any of them. Dilandau is your typical crazy villain, i saw too many of them. Also, the cat-girl, someone shoot her, please.
I liked the magical aspect of it, the Earth in the sky, the connection between Hitomi's pendant and Escaflowne and the Angels in the opening, etc... a shame the show didn't focus on these.
I was already aware of Van's wings unfortunately, the fact his brother had them was pretty much a giveaway and i already saw some official art.
Hmph! For a children's film it is incredibly bleak. It wasn't just the violence, although there was that too.
The Snowman never bothered me.
Probably because I despise it.
