Hair length rants aside, I thought it was amusing that when Kagenui left, she said "goodbye" and mentions how it was something that Oshino would never say.

Rant probably days late but short hair. WHY WHY WHY. Why does the MC has to have some shitty fetish anyway. If Shinobu ever follows suit (with the short hair) then brining the pitchforks will be neccessary.
Also hope the ever-so increasing fan service levels does not follow the trend in the next series.
It wasn't so bad if it was temp but a permentent short hair change kills a little bit of me on the inside. Platinum mad for sure.
I personally think only short hair suits Kanbaru chara type and maybe Tsukihi, just a little bit. Relevent.
zz don't get the bitching, neither of them did it because they thought it'd attract Araragi more. Well, we can't be as certain with Hanekawa, but I don't really think many people suit the braided hair look anyway (and she wasn't one of those). Either way, both of them are growing their hair back some by koimonogatari, and Kanbaru just keeps on letting her hair grow till Hanamonogatari.
Specifically with Gahara-san, the promise that she made Araragi keep for taking him to Kaiki amounted to have him put up with her while she changes, whatever she does. If anything, cutting hair to short would mean that she knows Araragi doesn't like short as much for her, lulz

Book wise Nise was definitely better, stronger theme from following only one character, stronger banter by just throwing a ton of them at you for little reason other than preparation for main theme and fan service. Anime wise I'd have to say Bake was stronger, but that's only because they decided to fuck a bit with vol 2 and weaken the message by cutting Araragi and Kaiki lines among others. The execution of Nise was good, but they weren't quite able to use the pacing from the books properly and made it felt somewhat dragged out. Just letting it play out as the books had is a poor idea for an anime considering how the monogatari books lately are basically first 1/2 = banter, second 1/2 = stuff goes down, structure wise.
While the banters do their part in setting up for the main theme, it is somewhat harder to appreciate because Nishio Ishin throws it all at you mixed with a ton of fanservice. Like, take Karen Bee's banters, everything that wasn't Nadeko was contributing to the main theme. Just that with all the fanservice, they were both harder to place a finger and just took a shitton longer. Well, one has to do what one needs to sell the DVDs with, but I had hoped they'd be more imaginative when it comes to handling the pacing in changing medium. Not all the trolling in the books will work for anime, after all.
Incidentally Tsukihi banter queen of Nise, followed closely by Hachikuji. Those two plus Shinobu probably the ones that shined the most in Nise anime. Which is unfortunately considering how in the books both Araragi and Kaiki would've made the list as well.
So the purpose of Kadingir is to use a drill cannon to pierce the heavens moon? In all seriousness, Fine's using the cannon as some sort of revenge against some god? I felt that was just so random. The Commander is frickin badass. It's too bad he got beaten so easily from a simple mindfuck. And I thought Chris would've been vaporized by the cannon. The fact that she's falling to the ground may mean that the swan song didn't end her...? I hope it doesn't. Possibly happy end with Hibiki and Miku at least? I like her more than Tsubasa and definitely more than Hibiki. I will be surprised if Tsubasa and Hibiki don't use their swan songs in the upcoming episodes.
Just finished fate zero 1st season. This one: http://myanimelist.net/anime/10087/Fate/Zero I was under impression there is more released but there says 2nd season not aired yet and now I am confused. wut wut wheres more of this stuff?

LOL! I completely forgot the beginning of the series. I wasn't that into the beginning of the series to begin with and stuck it out in the hopes that it would get somewhat better which it has. Sad end it is. I don't know how I'd react if it's just some red herring though.
I just had TTGL on my mind when I saw the episode titled "Pierce the Moon."

also Remi Ruth has to die, glasses girl with love interest to a side-character that's a pretty freaking huge death flag.
Asemu not being a Newtype, yet still being forced to fight against them, is a HUGE plus.
It's true I was half expecting after that pseudo hyperbolic time chamber thing for him to just awaken it I'm glad it hasn't happened yet honestly, also the whole thing about "X-Rounder is a regression not an evolution" was a nice little touch. Also seeing the Genaoce modified to have the Gundam AGE-1 Titan(or w/e)armor on was pretty sick too.
I'm glad they stopped the reusing//references at the who CHAR MASK INCREASES YOUR X-ROUNDER POWER, also Grodek coming back is a huge plus.
oh wow just saw the next episode preview...it's called X-Rounder.....our hopes and dreams may have been crushed the instant they have risen YAYYY GUNDAM!

I'm just so impressed about how good this show looks right now. Beyond character design, which I can understand people's distaste for, animation and fight scenes are just done so well. Generation 2 has really stepped it up with how good the fights in this show look.

The only thing missing is for Asemu to suddenly become an x-rounder and destroy everyone except Zeheart, because, as you all know, no matter how awesome the MCs new-found power is he can never fully defeat his nemesis. Also haven't you guys found that the plot seems a little generic when compared to other series (not specifically mech)?
i seriously wonder if something can surpass redline, doesnt look like it from the trailer^^
I think that Paprika can definitely rival Redline in the visual department. I think that Redline is somewhat lacking in its storytelling. In short, Redline was fundamentally a full frontal graphical masturbatory object.

AGE's novelty lies in its Generational structure. I'm not sure what you are expecting out of AGE.

the music too has gotten me really pumped I don't think I've ever noticed it before but it really seems to have stepped it up.

also I'm expecting the 3rd generation to KILL EVERYONE and end the generations, and then the real Jupiter people come and take over the universe.
