I see why I didn't pick up on that based on contextual understanding somewhere down the road But yeah, not really a fan of Akeno in general and this episode didn't make me like her more whatsoever. If anything she's just more of a laughing stock for me and yes I know you guys like her because you have all that LN information but I don't  Koneko arc seemed a little rushed as well tbh, but not all that badly. And she has catears so there's that Can you explain why you think the bolded part?
I don't think I would have called her that before todays episode. Mostly just because I didn't think it made a lot of sense.
+ Show Spoiler +She's supposed to be cute when they're on a date (I guess), it's supposed to be sad when that story about her Mom&Dad gets explained and it just all gets ruined for me when I sit there thinking "wtf is going on" and it's clearly not some clever trick to build up tension but them just rushing through this

After seeing Archer vs Lancer round2 animated it's hard to believe that Lancer's Gael Bolg wouldn't even have taken 1 of Berserker's 12 lives? I guess if it wasn't for Gilgamesh, Ilya and Heracles would have steamrolled this war.
Fate Route Spoilers:
+ Show Spoiler +They are able to kill Berserker with the Shirou/Rin team up. Saber was pretty much out of juice at the time, and Archer was killed, but in the end they took him down with a team effort. I'm pretty sure if Saber wasn't low on juice from beating Rider that they could have taken Berserker without losing Archer, too.

Reminds me of my reaction when I first started reading Hoshizora:

Thank god she pretty much stops existing after the common route ends.

Oh I remember that VN
wasn't that good imo.
that girl was by far the most annoying part tho.
|
Now I wonder if I should read it for the imouto experience.
|
Don't read it for the imouto, chinami is frustratingly annoying.
Komomo and Kosame(blonde twins) are pretty great though.

the art style seems different in TLR darkness compared to the original

UBW 17
+ Show Spoiler +So did Archer always know his identity from the start, he just decided to keep it from Rin? Is Trace On basically a copy cat move? Like he used to it replicate Gilgamesh's move?

+ Show Spoiler +Archer basically knew who he was and semi-faked the loss of memories. And no, that's not what his ability is.

I just looked at the episode counts according to MAL... How do shows like Kyoukai no Rinne and Ore Monogatari get 24+ episodes while DxD, Yamada-kun, Grisaia, Nisekoi Et al. have to struggle to fit into 12? Dear lord do anime companies even want money.
|
It's extra funny to me because DxD is basically that studio's only profitable series in the past few years. Whereas in regards to nisekoi, shaft has more monogatari money to make.
Anime from TNK the past few years:
High School DxD (2012) about 10k average sales
High School DxD New (2013) about 10k average sales
Kenzen Robo Daimidaler (2014) flop
Seirei Tsukai no Blade Dance (2014) flop
High School DxD BorN (2015) pre-orders already looking solid

Nisekoi sold pretty well S1 when they did 20 episode season didn't they? ~_~ and I don't trust Shaft to do something sensible like make Kizu when they could slap together another meh Madoka thing and let it rain money.
Edit: Looks like some of the Rokujouma no Shinryakusha vols are up on Baka Tsuki now. Been waiting for this LN series ever since the anime.

it just depends on how much funds aniplex and other producers give them. More budget = bigger timeslot
it could also be argued that BDs don't seem like they make more money for the producers than merchandise.
kyoani is the big exception cause they basically fund themselves

World Trigger keeps getting better: + Show Spoiler +Big fight next time. Wonder what it's going to be like to see Yuna go all out with his black trigger. This is going to be good! Previous fight against the humanoid neighbour was amazing too! It does seem that Jin was recognized by
UBW: + Show Spoiler +Dat hand to hand combat by Rin. Hit her when she least expects it with the most unlikely thing lol. What a boss XD Also, more background info on Archer.

oops, shouldn't have read this lol.
man, this episode :/ + Show Spoiler [Plastic Memories] +sad episode. Did he just wipe out Isla's memories? At least, that's what the board seems to indicate Tsukasa... It's likely that she tripped right before she was about to be hit by the beam and it missed her due to her leg according to MAL. Quite possible.

Yeah the Leo x White ship is too good. Pretty funny since apparently she wasn't even a thing in the manga series.

Knights of Sidonia: + Show Spoiler +Tsumugi ;; Hope they treat her well when she recovers (she better!). Doubt they'll kill her. I also wonder about that last scene in the preview with what I think is the placenta or something similar? Glad to see that the focus is still on the fights.

kekkai sensen was good agian. I both really like and really hate that girl's voice.
Also that twins reference. I laffed
|
Seraph is getting slightly better, Kekkai Sensen was rather good and I liked Plastic Memories a lot. Still got plenty animes to watch but I might wait a bit considering there's basically nothing coming in the early-mid week for me.
