I almost loathed the original Fate/Stay because it was so boring and stupid. The remake can only be better but I don't expect too much. It might be something if the team of Fate/Kaleid is on it.

I don't really care for Mushishi. Never looked into it and probably won't ever care unless I run out of other stuff to watch.

I watched the first two double episodes of the renewed series of this season but it had to be cut due to other priorities. It's by no means bad but it hasn't really anything that would draw me in. I might pick it up again now that I cleared my schedule somewhat.

It seems conceited of me to always prey on people who only watch good stuff and reject everything else to be the one who rejects obviously good animes like Mushishi and Psycho Pass. Problem is I don't have the time and I have other priorities.

I'm currently watching 24 ongoing animes which has been kinda the norm over the past seasons so I have to pick carefully what to watch. That's why I usually settle for everything that immediately piques my interest or has been recommended to me. With that comes the trend of preferring lighter animes over serious dramas.

Skimming over the list there might be about 15 animes I will watch that have a low drop chance but none of these are of the "MUST WATCH" caliber.

For comparison, this season had 2, last season had 5 and last winter had 6.

Cant defend the first Fate Stay Night (in fact i fell asleep trying to watch it the first time...) but to tell the truth it had its moments (i really liked the finall battle and even the ending but i get why most people didnt like it), that being said did you ever watched Fate Zero the prequel to Fate Stay Night?, because unlike the old Fate that one was made by Ufotable and its GREAT. (seriously its really good).

The new Fate Stay Night is also being done by Ufotable and chances are that its gonna be just as good (if not better than Fate Zero), so you should really watch it...

you said that you liked Fate Kaleid, well Fate Zero and the new Fate Stay Night have the same (or a higher) production quality, (you remember that Ilya Archer battle versus Alter Saber? then imagine that kind of battles on both Fate Zero and Stay Night), also part of what made the first Fate Stay Night so boring was its  pacing which Ufotable fixed in Fate/Zero and more than likely now on the new series.

open a space on your schedule and give Fate/Zero a chance, and if you like it then you can keep watching more with the new Fate Stay Night.

There's some quality shows, but the quantity of decent shows seems to be down.


hmm... okay that might be true, but for someone like me who just watches 2 or 3 animes a season its a great season, (i rather have 3 must watch animes than 18 good/decent animes).



New character of the week! Starting next week, people will be able to nominate a character for the week!

Mio Akiyama

Anime: K-On! (Comedy, Music)

Bio: Mio is a shy girl who is in the light music club. She plays a left-handed, 3-Color Sunburst Fender Jazz Bass with a tortoiseshell pickguard, though is shown playing a Fender Precision Bass in the first manga volume. She uses D'Addario EXL160M medium bass strings. Her bass is given the name Elizabeth later in the anime. While she originally intended to join the literary club, she was forced into the light music club by her childhood friend and the club's president/drummer, Ritsu. She gets excellent grades in school and is often mature and strict especially where Ritsu is involved; her weakness is the macabre and horrific, and she is often incapacitated with fear when stories involving ghosts, blood, injuries, haunted houses, barnacles or other disturbing topics come up. She also has a fear of being in the spotlight and gets embarrassed easily, and is often subject to teasing from Ritsu and Sawako, their club adviser and eventual third-year homeroom teacher. Mio has long, straight black hair and gray eyes (that are angled slightly more than the other characters). She cites that she chose bass since it is not the center of attention in the band, unlike the guitarist. Mio is more technical when it comes to music, and Yui often comes to her when she is in need of more guitar tutorials.

Fun Fact: She is Jizz_Beard's self-proclaimed waifu.

She is the tallest and shyest member in Ho-kago Tea Time.

She is the secondary singer for the group when Yui is unable to perform, and she writes many of the lyrics. She also takes the lead in many of the songs.

The EDs for K-On! are amazing!

You'll never catch. Don't bother trying.

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."

I haven't caught up on to many animes other then Dragon Ball Z, Yu Yu Hakusho, Attack on Titan, and Bleach. But what does anyone think about the latest Bleach chapters? They are getting interesting! Also can someone suggest any animes like Yu Yu Hakusho? That is by far my favorite of the ones I have seen, with Attack on Titan a close second.

I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one who watched that amazing Anime!

So I decided to go back and continue Aldnoah and that MC is pretty fucking smart. It's getting better every episode. I hope it can maintain the momentum.
