So I guess anyone planning to marathon it anytime soon is royally fucked D:

That was interesting backstory on how Ruka became an idol/mangaka. Her parents were unsuccessful and tried to live vicariously through her.

rewatch the first episode, then rewatch the last. The end scene then makes sense and imo was a great way to end the show.

+ Show Spoiler +Omg this show, so hilariously good!!! Lolis blowing up while a concert is going on. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/1OWfy.jpg) This was their "audition". Not that surprised it was all simulated, but it had me thinking it was real for a bit. Can't help but enjoy this show. The mech designs look pretty good too.

+ Show Spoiler [Aquarion EVOL 20] +Okay, so Sent was right about Fudo Zen being the same exact dude from Genesis. Thats great. And Mikono learns more about everything and shit. Thats great also.
But WTF about Mix? Holy fuck Andy, I feel so bad for him, the entire series hes been constantly getting cockblocked, then when he finally starts to make some progress Mix turns into a fcking dude. Gee fcking gee Andy.
The entire time I was just yearning for Yunoha and Zessica to get the fck out of Altair STAT. And I guess according to the preview they seem to have gone back to being 100% female again, but wtf about Mix? FUCK.
Also, seeing Mikono acting in Fudo's shoes. LOL, very cute.

I just finished School Days.

Why would you recommend that.

Ye, I distilled morale from the show: stop dating girls and play games - at least you will die more natural death. 
Anyways, nice boat.

The end is just the icing on the cake, School Days is harem at its finest. It's just one of the anime you have to see if you want to consider yourself an experienced anime watcher. Those who think they know what school days is about just by looking up how it ends are the anime equivalent of noobs.

So...
+ Show Spoiler [f/z 19] +Why didn't he just have her parachute out before shooting it down? She managed to get from the cargo hold all the way to the cockpit just fine, so clearly she should be able to reach an exit. It's not like there's any problems with having ghouls jumping out after her, since the previous episode established that ghouls can't swim, right? Meh
Thoughts on G Senjou no Maou
+ Show Spoiler [G Senjou no Maou] +lol Lelouch. Akabeisoft2 really likes using Code Geass VAs for villains?  Red herring plot twist was nicely done Haru so awesome <3 Haru route does get a bit ridiculous at times (inspired by CG?), but the epilogue was really good. False confession was so heartwrenching ;_; I think it colored my impression of the ending for the worse initially since it was rather depressing and because of the injustice, but on reflection, I guess I can see the prison term being justified considering all the morally-ambiguous stuff he's done throughout his life. Still, a somewhat bittersweet resolution. Tsubaki route turned out way better than I expected, felt so bad for her ;_; Still have Kanon and Shiratori routes to read, though I can probably guess at what's going to be involved
Also, for people who are familiar with both, which did you like better, G Senjou no Maou or Sharin no Kuni?
+ Show Spoiler [My thoughts] +I liked Morita's personality better as the MC, though that was probably largely due to Aiza's far more brutal past. As far as plot twists, I liked the Ririko reveal over the Kyouhei reveal. Main heroine endings, Haru wins, considering that she's both an awesome person (sorry Natsumi) and Sharin no Kuni is basically just a single route. On the other hand, Natsumi-Ken was a much more heartwarming backstory. Overall I preferred Sharin no Kuni, as parts of G Senjou no Maou got a bit too extreme for my tastes, though I do have to say that Haru is one of my top favorite heroines
Edit: Also Sharin no Kuni has Wakamoto

Pretty much this. I thought School Days was just the nice boat ending. Even reading about all that Makoto did did not prepare me for what I saw in the last 2-3 episodes before the actual ending. It was indeed pretty epic.

About fate zero:
+ Show Spoiler +
I recall her saying something along the lines of "I didn't prepare for skydiving".
I don't know if that type of planes generally have any parachutes lying around. If she had been better at flying the plane I guess she could've "landed" on the water and escaped, then blown up the ghouls... but meh, it's just theorycrafting.
ABK0048 ep3
+ Show Spoiler +Okay this show is girly as hell but I can't help but like it. I'm a Chieri fan for some reason, she acted sorta badass on the battlefield. Was a bit dramatic for a moment there...
Aquarion evol
+ Show Spoiler +Okay, most of this was expected I guess. I wonder what it was he had to say about his father, and if they really did get interrupted or they just didn't let us see it. Glad to see that Zessica's boobs are safe. Also lolmynameisMixy. R.I.P big bangs.
Hyouka
+ Show Spoiler +
Kinda boring episode imo. Can't say much more than that about this ep.
Tasogare otome x amnesia
+ Show Spoiler +Almost a "shit got real" episode. Scary scared people almost killed the new blonde chick. Fun stuff.

So I randomly tried the Papa no iukoto PSP game, lol, if this is the average production quality for random game adaptations I don't know how people ever turn profits. Oreimo game looks amazing in comparison in terms of the amount of actual content (hint, not cg), kinda sad.

Whatever, anything is better than a Nagi arc. As long as it isn't Nagi I am already pretty happy.
Also lol parents in Hayate.

Male seiyuu choice is pretty much just on whoever they can get and have the budget for. Fukuyama and Wakamoto both have a thing for doing a ton of weird roles.
Most people probably perfer Sharin, I personally found both entertaining but Sharin was a bit better overall, though if I am allowed to be totally biased I'd say gsen wins because ost

Still basically just Kugimiya, only thing that kept me interested was Ami, then I get shafted by author. Golden Time has managed to interest me more books wise though so the author might not be total crap like some others.

The quality of t-m tsundere goes up the earlier they were written, hue. I think the production quality is definitely worth the wait and the lower amount of content, as long as they pump out sequels and go on with more thtings.

To be fair, that's a fine reason why people might not want to watch, but the show isn't necessarily about the ending, but more or less the strange way that it gets there. I thought it was pretty good. iirc, even our own die hard elitist eca liked it too, though I think he liked it for a WHOLE other reason than me. Or maybe I'm just wrong.
I liked it because Ami, plot was standard and most of the characters were also standard but it wasn't particularly bad on any point.

I guess I should've specified that I meant the anime since this is an anime+VN+manga+(light) novel thread. But you're right about that if someone claims to know the VN after watching the anime.
