Animegaf campaign show of 2014
I never played the visual novel so I dont have any context. But after watching the first 3rd of the anime (before dropping it) I was very underwhelmed.
The art and the animation were ok, not anything to get particularly excited about.
Its the characters that did nothing for me.
Particularly Shirou. Is he supposed to be incredibly obnoxious and also incredibly stupid at the same time?
Why the fuck would I want this halfwit to win anything?

This thread is reaching its end. New one by tomorrow maybe?
a watchbet is basically just an agreement to watch a show in exchange for another. It can be either a terrible show to cause suffering or a good show to spread anime love and appreciation. Usually here it is the former.
Fate Zero is an order of magnitude better than Fate stay Night.
For one thing, it involves an adult cast mainly, who are cutthroat and cruel, not filled with teen angst and sexual frustration.
Happy birthday yall!
from what I have gathered a watchbet is where you and another person challenge each other to watch a show you haven't seen, typically of the same length. For example I could challenge you to watch skip beat and you would in turn challenge me to watch log horizon. There may be more to it though
so how bad is it that I first though Ouran High School Host club when I read this

It's fair to say that by this point, it's clear that Tobi has a crush on Atori.
Also Yuu is beginning to irritate me. I could get why he acted the way he did in the first 9 episodes but now he's just being a jackass to everyone.

The fact the guy gets amnesia helps her in this case

This is part of it definitely.
There is no 'Saber you can't fight, cuz you are a giiiiiirl'.
And 'oh no I caught Saber nude in the bathroom again, ahhh its soooo embarrasing!'
I'm not sure who I want to kill first. Shirou or myself for suffering through his crap.
Hmm might buy.
Somebody lied to you.

Clov and dimb got the right answers. Did some random generation magic and dimb is the winner. Congrats dimb.
Not so much lied as maybe had nostalgic memories of the show. For a while it was thought of pretty highly in general.
I managed to grab a code from the thread over in Gaming Side, so I would have given dimb the code anyway. Congrats, though!

Thanks for explaining! What do we win or lose though? And will we ever get season 2 of Skip Beat?
Thanks, even if the symbolism made sense to me, I still don't like the plot and other aspects of the show. Must say it had a good OST though, ZUM and the OP/EDs were nice.

Is it just me or is it implied that
Is it just me or is it implied that
Hirukawa raped the schoolgirl in the last house he robs?
War would be a thing of the past if people would just love each other and squee at cute things.
If its the episode Im thinking of, I think its strongly implied, and creepy as hell.

That Idol Wrestling special has the ugliest mud I've seen in a awhile.
The mud wrestling was uncensored so that was an improvement from the norm, I guess.

You know, reading this I really feel I should have made MrJeff watch THE iDOLWR@STLER instead.
Next time I guess.
I seem to recall an actual show with girls wrestling. I dont remember the name but it had a lot of moaning.
Maybe it was a bad translation job but the dialog did it no favors:
Unless that is legit dialog from the source canon.

I cant remember what episode that was but if someone can tell me I can check the DVDs to see.

Someone Else. I think.
I prefer that one as well.

Well shit. The truth behind the Sibyl System, as well as the reveal of
has definitely upped the suspense for the rest of the series. With Makashima escaping custody and Kagari still missing, I'm really looking forward to what happens next

Fuck I take back everything bad I said.
Guy is a poet. That is some deep philosophical shit right there.
Cardcaptor Sakura 33
Freeze is one brutal card. Sakura's natural athletics show themselves once more, but ice skating and rollerblading aren't quite the same, mostly because of weight distribution. If only Tomoyo knew how many filming chances she's missed due to doing other things or being otherwise incapacitated like she is here. I'm getting really close to the point where I need to watch the movie, and thankfully I've already ordered a copy of it. I also saw the third video diary special. Everybody loves Yukito!

Im pretty sure the DVD translation was a bit different though Shirou is stupid enough to say something of that nature.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"

"People die when they are killed" was the original dialogue in the visual novel, although that's perhaps not a nuanced translation of it. Fate route/2006 Fate/stay night spoilers:
Shirou takes a lot of ostensibly fatal wounds in F/SN (e.g. he has his entire side blown out from a vicious blow from Berserker), but they continuously heal due to the fact that in Fate/Zero, Kiritsugu put Excalibur's sheath in his body. He has it extracted and returned to Saber and she asks if its really okay to remove his healing power and he says that in response.
In context I didn't notice the dialogue being extra strange, although there are better ways of translating it.
The ufotable anime is Unlimited Blade Works. The 2006 anime sucks for a lot of reasons, including the fact it has like 5 frames of animation per episode and is frequently off model. They also added some weird scenes just so Sakura could be involved in the plot, and then dressed her up in stripper clothes for no reason, which was especially dumb given that they cut large amounts of dialogue which would have been necessary for the plot to work well. Not to mention Fate is easily the most terrible route and the one where Shirou spends all of his time telling Saber to get back in the kitchen.
I think the DVD translation was something like "If a person is hurt badly enough, they die."

How is that show? The premise reads like a harem series so I wrote it off.

A slower character-building episode, this one does a decent job of having the characters questioning both the system they follow the orders they're given, ending with
.
Though I haven't watched some of the newer episodes, it's pretty good. There's no harem aspect, as the relationship between Stephen and the gems is more "big sister, little brother". Only real problems I have with it is that Stephen constantly screwing up can be a bit annoying at times (though he's hard to hate), Garnet is really dull as a character, and the songs feel really out of place (even though Rebecca Sugar was also the song writer for Adventure Time), but that's really it.

And yet another slow character-bulding episode. Where were these in the beginning? Anyway, Kogami gets help from his old teacher and finds NeoGAF in this episode, where they may have found out what Makashima's next move might be.

It is most certainly not a harem. All of the women represent motherly figures actually. I have been loving it- it started off as promising and has gradually gotten better and better.
It left me a bit cold after a few episodes. I'll give it another chance in the future!
One Piece - Fishman Island Arc
This is tied with Skypeia Arc as one of the low points of the series for me. It just dragged on for too long. Fisher Tiger flashback was pretty good though, everything else was meh.

Hody is just a terrible villain, and the fact that that Nami and Robin didn't get much screen time as the others really grinds my gears.

Yay, more character building, this time with flashbacks! Akane learns the truth about the Sibyl System, while constantly looking back through her life and trying to decide whether or not to work with the system (and hey, she actually does some detective work in this episode). Meanwhile it looks like the gang have found out what Makashima is up to and have to stop him before it's too late. It also looks like

Two episodes left!

Yeah I figured it was something similar to that. Just a terrible fansub translation that got famous because it was stupid.

I remember really liking the first three episodes of this show, then feeling lukewarm on the rest of the series.
