Lancer always gets screwed regardless of adaptation. It's like a recurring theme. =/ Maybe Nasu just hates the Irish or something.
There's already a Madoka nendoroid I think.

Moshidora's 10 episodes. The release schedule was kinda weird though - I think it was supposed to air in 10 consecutive days or something like that.

Moshidora was supposed to be an experiment with the airing schedule. Whole show in two weeks, 1 episode per day.
Edit: Happy birthday Sentenal! :D

Ah. That'll be hell on the subbers lolol. That makes me kinda excited too, since I won't have to wait a week if it ends up being good.

Well the plot did screw him over in like every adaptation, but at least in the VN version of UBW, Lancer gets to be a complete badass several times before the plot screws him over.

Lancer gets to be a badass at least once per route. Well, except for HF...
Edit: Oh hey, Roberta's Blood Trail 4 is out on TT.

Mwhaahaha what a perfect derail on my part.
Anyway, the fate route was just your generic boy meets girl love plot. Except the boy is retarded. It's boring sure, but Saber is Saber, you gotta love her even if she has inconsistencies in her character. *I've been turned into a HS to obtain teh holy grail, so my country can meet a better fate!* *We shouldn't hurt people, Shirou* *Fuck off and die Lancelot, the grail is mine and I'll take it over your dead body*
Fate route = your average typical love story. Which isn't anything bad really, but it's not exciting.
HF = the apocalypse. Sakura sucked more than just Shirou's **** the whole route. Maybe I just hate psychotic bitches... the route was hectic and different from the 2 previous ones which is why it was good.
UBW= MOAR Rin and servants. Overall my favourite route. Especially the good end where you end up with both Saber and Rin. I like it sugarcoated. The true end was good too. Just about everything that was bad about this route was both Shirous' fault.
And Tsukihime is SO about the far side of the moon routes. Ceil+Arc suck compared to the Tohno family.

Madoka delayed for sure, will be streamed on nico.

Go read Kara no Shoujo in the time freed up.

Southlight and Sentenal have the same birthday (even though it's tomorrow I'm guessing since TL.net uses KST)? lolol
Well, now that I don't have to worry about waiting for any shows this week, looks like I have time to catch up on Fractale and Hourou Musuko.
|
O lord, the Ides of March have spawned two devils.
|
I'm okay with sharing a birthday with Southlight 
Speaking of catching up on things, I still have to catch up on some Alteisen Riese....
edit: Oh fuck, I forgot, CrunchyRoll stuff got delayed. Still like 2 days till I get my mecha porn

Way off topic, but what are the chances that two people in this thread would have the same birthday? Pretty good, apparently.

I forgot where I watched it but I can tell you Alteisen Reise... I am falling in love with my favorite red mecha all over again

a smaller scale macross. Anyone know of any similar series.
Mugen no Ryvius has a different focus but it's still better than any Macross series.
Anyway, finished Zeta Gundam and it was disappointing. The characters and their conversations are still horrible and there is even more romantic stuff in it. Jerid loves woman A, then she dies and immediately afterwards, he loves woman B. Same with Mirai who married Bright and got two children or Kamille in the movies etc etc. Honestly, the relationships are just such a joke. Watching the shows for the Gundams is pretty much the only thing you can do.
Also, why are there two new little kids onboard the ship? What is the purpose of them, other than being annoying.
Started with ZZ right after I finished the movies but I decided, after episode 3, that I will watch another series in between which will hopefully make me somewhat happier. And so far, it did. I really liked One Outs and Akagi seems to be pretty similar. The character design is "weird", but it's fine, it's not a significant part of an anime anyway. And the end of episode 4 was soo good. Really makes me wish that more anime had such a main character.

Akagi was pretty good, but they dragged the Washizu arc out for so long that it actually got kinda boring by the end. You should also give Kaiji a try once you finish Akagi. It's from the same mangaka, and the atmosphere is very similar. I personally liked Kaiji better since it was easier to empathize with the main character, but both series are good in their own right.

I think I'm just going to not comment about the Zeta Gundam stuff, other than say that I strongly disagree with your views on it. Other than those 2 kids onboard existed just to be annoying. I suppose you just have your own tastes, even if they seem crazy to me.
Also, if a godly show like Zeta Gundam disappointed you, IDK what you are going to think about ZZ Gundam... lol
