That's true, but at least Hyouka has the copout of having an open ending. Fate/Zero really needed a better resolution for that scene, which makes it perplexing that they didn't remedy it on the bluray. It's not a a show-killing flaw, but it is a flaw.

Yes.
I was robbed. I wanted a confession. I got the confession. Then it was stolen from me.
ROBBED I TELLS YOU.
ROBBED I TELLS YOU.
I should mention that I dropped F/Z soon after

How was Hyouka supposed to end? With a double wedding?
But you know it will happen! Did you want a Chuu2 ending or something?
F/Z's plot was fairly conclusive and was resolved fairly well. Just because one plot thread wrapped up badly doesn't mean it needed a better resolution.
It was supposed to end exactly the way it did. Nothing wrong with it. It was an alright conclusive ending.
People just wanted the confession scene to be real. Although that would be rather sudden considering Oreki's personality and Chitanda's social status.
And this is the reason it doesn't bother me too much...
Resolution wouldn't be the wording I would use. Probably background instead. It would have made the impact more emotional and given it more context. That said it does work on a superficial level but it's just not on par with the rest of the show.

It's about how I figured it would turn out. I'm glad the K-ON! movie broke the top ten. Seeing Girls und Panzer so high also makes me smile.
Knowing it will happen is not the same as having it happen.
You know what will happen at the start of most weddings, but it doesn't really feel complete until they put their rings on each others' hands and kiss. The completion of the ritual is the whole point.
I just wanted them to have gone through with the
delusion
True end OVA will come soon

Ok
Liking the look of this, and hearing it's from production IG has me piqued.
Ok, detective in high school setting, sold. Reminds me of Brick.

I couldn't sit through the first episode of From the New World. The animation style was just awful to me imo.
Love Space Brothers, mixed on Kids on the Slope but it had some really good moments. Will check out Hyouka

Given how Oreki reacts to Satoshi's dickery, you can figure out what he'll end up doing in the future though.
Like Haly said, I just want to see it.

You should know hes not a real detective. Or solving solving interesting mysteries.

And for me, that's basically the equivalent of a Chuu2 ending.
Episode 22.5. lol
If you go in expecting actual mysteries you are going to be greatly disappointed.
Hopefully they show it in Gameboy resolution first.
It should be worth noting that Hyouka is a slice-of-life show first and foremost and not really a "detective" show in the western sense of the word so if you go in expecting something it's not chances are you will be disappointed when you don't find what you were looking for. I know that was the case for me and some others, at least.

It'll be a niconico stream of a Google+ hangout streaming a camera pointed at a 13" black and white tv.
Brick is an interesting comparison, but yes, it's not as on the nose as something like Brick. Or even the Hardy Boys.

Question.
I've wanted to check out Fate/Zero for a while now. However, I haven't seen the prior works.
Should I go through them first or can I skip straight to zero?
I only know that it's supposed to be a prequel of some sort.
I vaguely remember going through one route in the F/SN VN, but I don't remember much.

Just watch Zero. For all intents and purposes, the other works don't exist.

Don't ever watch anything else but Fate/Zero. Nothing else exists. Purge any knowledge of other works in the Fate universe from your mind.
Disregarding all previous FSN adaptations and focusing only on Fate/Zero is not only recommended but also encouraged.
No knowledge of the franchise is really needed to enjoy Fate/Zero. It's probably best if you avoid the F/SN anime.
There might be a few details in the end of the show that might get kind of confusing as they not explained that well though.
No you don't need any previous knowledge, although the fanservice helps boost the enjoyment you get out of it.
Skip, the F;S/N anime sucks anyway.
It is but it's self contained.
Mollusks.
Yes, Hyouka is the anime equivalent of Christ.

Straight to Zero it is.
Thanks for the swift replies!

You won't be disappointed.
It's a prequel. There's a major spoiler for the Heavens Feel, the final path of the F/SN visual novel, dropped right in it's first episode, but at the same time, not having played all of F/SN is going to save you from having elements of Zeros story spoilt too. I really like the F/SN visual novel (and I probably have a better opinion of that anime than most), but Zero is a far more satisfyingly dense and compact experience. No prior knowledge required.

Just be glad Hyouka didn't look like Jo Jo's or else it may have impeded your enjoyment of the series.

So Hyouka is Nintendogs?
Animu Crossing.

Well, I'm already a fan of the -monogatari series, so I don't know how much worse it could get. lol
No, it's The Stanley Parable.
2010 > 2011 > 2012
This is an undeniable truth. Yuasa Galaxy, GOD-ON S2, P&S, House of 5 Leaves... all 10/10 shows.

If by that, you mean Hyouka is the messiah of good anime, I completely agree.
Heartcatch was good but not 10/10 material. Erika IS the best character all time, tho.
You posted on that cesspool? Well, I have an account there since 2000 but I only go there when there's delicious schadenfreude to be had nowadays.
BTW, why did you let SAA to be higher than Accel World? They are pretty much the same Animu, but once is clearly less shitty. :/
My single vote would have been for Hyouka; I hate mixing movies with TV series in rankings so the GOD-ON movie would have been left out. I'm actually fine with the actual list, the year itself is what I consider not particularly good. Certainly not 2010 good.
