Yes, I think PMMM is successful for reasons other than Gen's script. Good production values and Kajiura music is great. Characters were by far the least interesting component of Madoka and the plot relied on a lot of shock value that got old really quickly. I liked everything else about it.

Also, I thought Psycho Pass was average.

Speaking as a very big fan of mecha, there isn't anything inherently offensive as a mecha fan in Aldanoah Zero. If a mecha fan does not like it, thats perfectly fine, but saying that all mecha fans should also not like it? Mecha is a hugely broad genre with tons of different types of shows, with incredibly varying tones, with a matching fanbase to boot. This is the same genre that has titles like GaoGaiGar, Armored Trooper Votoms, and Gundam Build Fighters umbrellaed into the same genre.

As for "what sort of mecha show doesn't show the titular mecha within the first hour", there are tons. Zeta Gundam doesn't have the actual Zeta Gundam show up until like halfway through the series. ZZ Gundam didn't have the ZZ Gundam show up for a good bit as well, although it was well before the mid-point. Gunbuster showed up in episode 4, and Diebuster showed up in the very last episode of that. Then you have stuff like Dancougar where it doesn't show up till like halfway through, or Rayearth where mecha don't show up proper until like the last 2 or 3 eps of the first season. And even in an anime like TTGL, which is both recentish and 2 cour, didn't have the titular mecha show up until the last episode, or if you just want to go with the "GL" part of the title, until episode 3.

Thanks so much for putting that gif, it the only thing that kept me wondering wtf... I mean its the only moment where someone is killed yet theres no blood on the weapon WTF?! Im not impressed, seen bigger blunders tho. Im still gonna watch it.

Finished Nisemonogatari and Im kinda meeh dunno why, Karen-chan FTW, but the stories felt kinda weak or its just me returning to series after 4 months dunno...

Glasslip HYPE, after 2nd ep this show got interesting, waiting to see what happens..."I don't want to lose" this one was awesome especially cus Im running too, damn.

Having followed the conversation, I still gotta agree with znf and stick to one of my original posts where I said I think you're nit picking too much ForTehDarkseid lol. Only other thing I'll add is that when I'm trying to decide if I'm going to be watching something, I don't factor the name of the producer or company into the mix. Heck, I don't even know the names of most of the voice actors for the anime I've watched so far lol. In other words, not everyone will look at the name of the producer or studio and decide to watch based on that.

Additionally:
And this is where creator's scale and achievements come into factor. Akame ga kill is made by White Fox, the studio which produced Steins;gate and two Jormungand, and Akame's visual quality is laaaarge improvement from the past shows and while PA Works stay closer than anyone to their style, they upgrade the arsenal of special effects techniques with almost each series made, it's seen very clearly in Glasslip. On the contrary, Aldnoah is directed by the chief director of Garden of Sinners, Fate/zero, Ga Rei and Houko Musou, and his new show does pretty poor job in artistic department compared to any of the mentioned series, we expected much more of this guy and he failed us right here.

This paragraph is weird to me. On one hand, you talk about Akame ga Kill and the studio that made it, and that studio's past work. And then, with Aldnoah Zero, instead of talking about the studio, you start talking about the Director? KnK and F/Z were both made by Ufotable. Its almost unfair to compare the visuals of any anime to one of those, unless its like something from KyoAni or a really high budget Sunrise project like Gundam Unicorn.

I'm really hoping they get around to animating Steel Ball Run. I think the safe bet is for Stardust Crusaders to be the last for a while (which is a shame, part 4 is my absolute favorite) but on the off chance they keep going...

Well, SBR is just so damn pretty. And I know it'll wreck people emotionally.

I guess that's a bit off topic though. I think Aldnoah is fine so far. Sawano delivers a great soundtrack as usual.

Considering the sales and the overall positive reception, I think them keep going with Jojo over the next 4~5 years is a very real possibility. Part 5 and muda calls will be fun~

Tokyo ESP is basically the Xmen lol. If you liked the Xmen, there's a decent chance that you may like this.

I don't think that's accurate to say though. Just because it's the same guy doesn't mean they need to throw in Ga Rei Zero characters for essentially no reason. Especially since they probably won't be around at all in the coming episodes.

It's funny because I JUST finished Ga Rei the day before so I was really like, "What the hell is going on?". I even deleted the version I had to get another one because I thought I was getting trolled.

ao haru ride <3 i especially love how the flash backs are like water-coloured much like the covers of mangas just gives me that romance-manage cover feel, looks nice i kinda wish the whole anime was like that. i desperately want more!!! i wonder if i should start the manga now and spoiler myself, or after the anime is finished inwhich they'll probably stop making eps as they do with all the mangas i like T_T and have something to read
dAPhREAk gives Shock a * | [23:55] <Shock710> that was out of context -_- [16:26] <@motbob> Good question, Shock!
