+ Show Spoiler +yes, that's what I thought he meant which is why I wrote this: "I guess you mean it from the perspective that she was a hidden chaika all along but I guess emotions triggered her transformation then".

I also figured it might be distinct personality traits at first but something didn't seem right when we got to meet the other two chaikas. It's quite possible they are clones

+ Show Spoiler +Or there never was a real one to begin with. So much mystery surrounding the old emperor and his daughter, like no one knows bloody anything. Wouldn't be surprised if it's all a sham and the story is going to throw out a twist like that.

That's a good point too Slaughter.
Anybody have any opinions on Blade and Soul from this season? I know adaptations from video games are usually not good, but doesn't this one have the same director as Steins;Gate? If so, it might actually turn out to be okay...I know i really loved Steins;Gate.
Oh and also, I went golfing with my dad and brother today and I was thinking there might be a really cool Golf themed sports anime...anybody know?

@Ryuhou)as(
I watched some of it. It was whatever. There's a 3-D animation scene somewhere that's really questionable, and overall if you want a fantasy story this season that has likable characters and a simple yet entertaining storyline, you should probably just watch Chaika instead.

It's Queen's Blade with worse story (yes, somehow they managed to pull it off).

Sakurasou EP 2
+ Show Spoiler +How in the world is he surviving the blonde girl's seduction ? i am starting to wonder if the MC is gay.
Pls tell me this show will tone down in fanservice. I'll keep watching but if this type of fanservice continues i wouldn't probably survive and drop the show.

Pretty sure we told you not to watch this in advance. Yet you still watched it.

I really enjoyed episode 1 nagi and got disappointed with episode 2 again. Thanks for the advice though.

I'm watching Madoka on Netflix and it's surprisingly better than what I was expecting.

Jut looked it up for shitz and giggles and stumbled upon their rating:
Netflix: Parents strongly cautioned. May be unsuitable for children ages 14 and under.
MAL: Rating: R - 17+ (violence & profanity)

There really isn't so much fan service that it's complain worthy. It does fall off because it's really just establishing a point/joke about the female lead.
Speaking of Netflix, those bastards are the reason that knights of Sidonia was harder to find because it's going to be a Netflix exclusive.

That maturity rating is such a spoiler. It's supposed to be a cutesy magical girl show!

Pls. You "survived" Monogatari, and you complain about the fanservice in Sakurasou? The former has more fanservice in 1 episode than the latter altogether.

Wow wth, i don't remember Madoka being that "mature". Still, i had fun watching that one...and i didn't think i would from the description.

Is it that bad? I barely remember the fanservice from sakurasou, in my tastes it wasnt so bad that it detracted from the show.
Shows that had enough fanservice to melt my brain were, Highschool Dxd, and Highschool of the Dead.

I watched monogatari with the mindset that i am probably just gonna see fanservice and nothing else. So my monogatari run was not that bad since i was expecting it and i actually enjoyed it. Senjougahara made the entire show worth it.
While this Sakurasou on the other hand i expected it to be similar with Maison Ikkoku and kawai which has quite a little fanservice .. and i forgot about nagi suggestion not to watch it.
And btw Long Hair Senjougahara is so much better than the short haired gahara.

Idk but pretty sure i dropped HoTD due to excessive fan service. I was just asking if the shows fanservice will get worse .. I can take minimal or just adequate amount of fanservice. So i was worried if the show will ride the fanservice and make the show unwatchable for me part since i am enjoying it.

The 17+ rating is a bit extreme but well:
+ Show Spoiler [spoiler pics inside] +
couldn't find .gif of the 2nd one so 3 screenies instead

All these people going into monogatari hoping for only fan service makes my head hurt.

well no then, the show is a lot more than just fanservice. Actually has a decently compelling story imo, well at least compared to where I am in my life.
