This is the greatest series Kyoani made in a long time.

It really is.

By the way, whatever you tried to link in your post above relating to Chloe isn't showing up.

Yuki Yuna ha Yuusha de Aru: This show was unexpectedly good, with solid animation to boot. Oh and........ HANDICAPPED.MAGICAL.GIRL.
It needs to tread lightly on infringing into Madoka territory though.

Ah screw it, I'll just delete it. Nevermind.

UBW 2:
No real comment. We've kinda already seen this two or three times already.

Log2 3:
Ah yeah, Santa Claus is coming to paint the city red with blood.

I like the new song they had for the raid boss. Sounds like a rearrange of Souguusen.

And I thought a 3-hour raid was long. Lol, what WAS up with that Santa? I guess we'll see.

Akame 16:
I guess that's one way to up the death count. Give us a bunch of one shot dudes to get killed.

Fruit 3:
This show is pretty lewd.

I wouldn't be surprised if they actually just died at the end of the ep, but odds are against that.

yyyyyyyyeahhhhhhhhhhhhhh, what's this show even about again?

WIXOSS 3: I feel like Ulith is actually just you in the show, Thahn. Also I think Mayu was that person who took a fun game too seriously and lost friends over it.

*Watches ep*

Yeah, I think so too.

OMG! The dragon isn't CGI!

Log2 4:
Hey Deen, gimme back the Satelite faces! I'll even settle for just the eyes!

UBW 3:
Was it really necessary for Berserker to start break dancing? Yes, yes it was.

Speaking of which, just how much does this show cost!?

Can Akatsuki just fight per Persona and face her true self yet?
Is this show about to go SAO on us?

That kickstarted anime project a little while back said there was a ballpark of about 500k that goes into a single episode of anime. I dunno if that's only under certain circumstances, but if that's true I can see every ep of UBW being at least that. That being said, I do believe the use of CG makes the actions scenes like these a lot cheaper to accomplish.

What do you mean?

Certainly, otherwise studios wouldn't be investing in more CGI. But that break dancing doesn't come cheap.

That girl getting PK'd in the town acted like it was the end of the world for her.
Also because of PKing in town, which SAO had a whole mini-arc on.

Ah, yeah, there's a PKer loose. This isn't a mini-arc though, it's the entire plot for Akatsuki's story just as how Shiroe's story plot is the raid.

Oh also, don't mind the blood. As adventurer's die, they're supposed to be a bloody mess, but it's a kid's show.

Fruit 4:
So uh, one girl left and we can get to the story right?

Akame:
Arg, they killed the best gril!

I feel like Makina was the only one he truly got the fruit from, but yes I'd like them to start whatever we're supposed to be waiting for already.

Chelea will forever remain in my heart.
Oh right, and Bols I guess....

Amagi 5:
Looks like Daimaou was good for something after all.

UBW 4:

It's just not the same when it's not a chaos alligator.

I wonder how much money the bullet that broke the lock was?

Log Horizon 2: LH has been really interesting and overall has been really creative in it's writing, but I think this'll be the one time I say this: SAO did the town PKing better. Stealing the guardian armor? That's too easy, they could have thought up something more roundabout.

SAO2: Why the fuck did Kirito throw it away? Thanks Shinon for fixing that burst of stupidity. I'm glad this pointless little mini-arc is over, but I hope whatever comes next includes the whole gang still.

I knew I forgot a show...
I'll agree the town murders were better in SAO, though in this case it's not exactly PKing rather than extreme aggro. Like luring a boss spawn into town and watching the fun.

Akame 18:

Obviously that plan wouldn't have worked. He should've shaved the beard and used his mustache powers to stop the string.

Fruit 5:

Okay, I guess we're gonna hit character routes at 2 a piece?

So there's this movie called You're Next where someone died in a similar fashion, except there was no beard.

I'm catching up with Cross Ange, and all I have to say is......... why is there a naked dude with a raging boner in the OP?

Because the brains behind Gundam SEED are behind this.

So, the CR simulcast of the show doesn't have it. I think Commie put it in, along with the nipples in episode 2's OP.

So I'm all caught up with Cross Ange. I think the show is going into the realm of "so bad it's good" on purpose, if not for the fact that not only did it copy Gundam SEED's OP, but they're just pulling tropes out of the idea-hat left and right as well.
But I love every minute of it, and as much as I love Nana Mizuki, I too wonder..... why is she even doing this? Could be blackmail, or Sunrise is just offering FAR too much money.
