All I could think of while watching Overlord episode 12 was that Ains kind of sucks at PVP. Root spells OWN melee. Maybe he's raid spec'd? Hm.

I believe he mentions in the episode how ill prepared he is to be in a one on one fight against a physically aggressive monster. Seeing as his magic largely deals in summoning undead, which he couldn't use for the fight, he ended up at a huge disadvantage since he basically had no offensive line to take a beating while he dealt in magic. Not to mention that, with his magic skills, he definitely seems more like a back row raid group member than a front row fighter. Shalltear is basically raid boss status, so the fact that Ains can handle her on his own as a mage that can't use half the skills that would be useful is pretty impressive.

Sorry, that was basically a WoW joke, where melee have traditionally hated Ice Mages more than life itself.  But, yes, they did a good job of setting up why he would struggle against that particular opponent.

I wish we could see his buff bar.

I never played enough WoW to get that. :'(

Seriously though. Before that fight, he applied what felt like two dozen buffs. He was not messing around.

An important step in any relationship

Actually a pretty great list. 
It's vomit inducing at first with all the mainstream stuff but the extended version has most of the great stuff. Even D-Frag and Yuuki Yuuna is on there :)

Since there was Gatchaman in this season it was pretty much a no contest. There are only a select few who can beat waifu Hajime.

Of course honorable mentions go to Yamada, Suu, Tomori and the entire cast of Wakaba Girl.

Lazy waifu choices are lazy but I the girls from Monster Musume for me.  Had a few qualms with some of them at times but I found they were all enjoyable to watch for the most part. Plus, I'm bad at deciding on only a few  But Papi is still best girl

Moe + oppai trumps everything.
