Restarting because the old one reached 51 pages again.

And exactly 1000 posts.

Aw, come on. If we self-police, we'll never beat the original Ask a Simple Question thread in post count. :P

Reposting for the win with a few extra sentences.
Negima
[spoiler][BL] As Negi stands face to face with Fate, the close proximity enables both parties to feel their breath on each other's faces. The trembling of their gaze at this distance is readily apparent, as are the bulging veins on each other's smooth necks.
"I want this to be decided by talk, if possible." Negi breaks the silence first. Fate's eyes widen in eagerness, masked by a stern visage.
"...I don't think you really mean that." Fate responds as both parties move their faces even closer to each other. So close...and thankfully the bruises they have suffered thus far masked each other's blushes.
Unable to hold back any longer, the impatient urges welling up in Fate's heart prompts him to launch a powerful punch right at Negi's face.
Fortunately, Negi is unhurt and the cheeky boy genius smiles as he gently places his fist on Fate's abdomen, letting his internal strength and energy, boosted by his magic, impart his feelings right into Fate.
"Now I see." Fate smiles right before Negi's fist thrusts into Fate's body. "Heh" is the only smiling reply from the son of Nagi before Fate is blasted back by the sheer force generated from Negi's fist. Penetrating his defenses to deliver the payload.
Grinning from the blow, Fate smiles as he praises Negi. "Heh...he heh...Didn't I say in Kyoto, that it would be impossible for you then?" Looking up to meet Negi's gaze, Fate continues. "...you've finally come all the way here."
"In Ostia didn't you say...that I was just a child who didn't know anything?" Negi responds with his fist in a battle-ready position. "I've come with an answer in hand - My own answer, as someone who knows everything."
Fate closes his eyes as he rubs his abdomen, the spot where Negi drove his power into, feeling the residual force lingering in that spot. "I won't accept that answer."
"Right....so," Negi retorts, clenching his fingers to form a fist of determination, "What I'm saying is, I'll let you understand with my fists. Fate."
Still blushing, Fate's only response to those words and that facial expression filled with manliness and strength, is "Hmph..."
Locking eyes and gazes, feeling the upwelling of desire and power Fate takes a deep breath again to prepare himself. It looks like this is it.
"...Well. Shall we? Negi-kun."
And in response, the two intense rivals of unparalleled strength and power runs towards each other at blazing speeds. Locking limbs as they drive their fists into each other's body![/BL][/spoiler]

DA HORRA!!
Seriously, EW.

It's funny though.
And you can bet rule 34 is already on it.

That pairing happened as soon as we found out he existed.
And to be honest, I rather dislike the pairing. Not for the Yaoi aspect, but because I dislike Tertium entirely.
-
Aww, come on. Everyone knows any character voiced by Akira Ishida automatically becomes a total yaoi magnet. This should surprise no one.
-
I just wish with GetBackers they'd gone the manga approach rather than the doujin approach.
For reference: the GetBackers manga has more fanservice than Highschool of the Dead. But no zombies.

So, Madoka 9...
Huh.

So, Madoka 9...

[spoiler]Its still a fucking scam. They are trying to appeal to human children as if they are young dragons, with equivalent Int and Wis to boot. And seriously what the fuck? Just find Simon and the Dai Gurren Dan and they will destroy entropy without being Puella Magi![/spoiler]

Heh, nice Prime.
Some constructive criticism: You really should try shading things in. It adds to the feeling of whatever you want to draw.

Negima - Yaoi End Confirmed
[spoiler]
N: You sure are smiling a lot today.
F: It’s because this is fun, Negi-kun. To me, this battle is truly… my only desire.
Now, show it to me.
Your everything.

Befriending.

I just hope they show Mana and Setsuna actually fighting instead of resolving their parts off-screen like Bleach does.
But that's me getting my hopes up. There's 4 lines all ready (Mana\/Pyon, Setsuna\/Tsykuyomi, Negi\/Tertium, and Anya/Nodoka/Yue\/Shirabe). Can't expect Akamatsu to resolve all of those on-screen.[/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]I expect the fights to get spotlight once they reach the turning point. There is only so much of Setsuna bleeding and Tsukuyomi getting excited we can see before it gets boring, so Akamatsu can safely offscreen most of that and give us focus once Setsuna focuses her Wholesome Lesbian Power(TM) and starts kicking ass or something. Likewise for Mana vs Poyo, but actually I kinda expect Mana to be a total curbstomper here. Because she's awesome like that.[/spoiler]

[spoiler]
I'm thinking Fire beats Wood, except the party HAD no fire user of that tier(well, barring the heavy hitters who'd crush you, element advantage or no) until Anya comes back in. Shes bound to have improved some if she wants to stay with the combat harem.
That is a lot of swords though.
And mostly, the tactics thing is fairly simple, for the first time in a long while Negi is not fighting a mook, relative to his power level. Duels between equals go like so.
As for the secondary fights, I'm hoping a chapter each.

The Inspector 22, "It is by Knowing the Time to Fall"
[spoiler]Flashback to the School. Has Latooni's uniform ever been depicted before now?
Dragon Knuckle? Except that it's called RyuOh Kiken(?)
Sanger defeats Wodan. Aguilla shows up in a Sol Gravilion. Wodan pulls Sophia out of Magus, causing the Thrudgelmir to disintegrate and the Gravilion to mutate into a monster. Ouka uses the GEIM system to ram the Rapiecage into it and self-destruct. After that they flee the Cradle. No Bergelmirs, no "I am Sanger Zonbolt, the Sword of Sophia!" (Sanger actually says that devoting yourself to one person is foolish!), and Sword of the Cosmos was just "Wodan briefly turns his sword into energy while fighting Sanger".
Next ep, the Alt reises again.
[/spoiler]

Inspector
[spoiler]What, you mean the Bergelmir kids were left on the cutting floor?
Good. Can't stand the little shit heads.[/spoiler]

Madoka 9
[spoiler]
Wait, intergalactic organizations? Solving the problem of entropy with human feelings? Somebody shoot the creepy familiar again please.
Also, WTF to soul gem self-destruct? Was there any real need for that? Spear girl was a pro, Sayaka a foolish idiot, so her witch form couldn't be that powerfull.
It will be interesting to see where the next episode will go, because I see three main routes:
-Main character becomes a magic girl, tries to overcome curse and truly fight for love and justice.
-Main character becomes a magic girl, rebel against the intergalactic organization!
-Main character doesn't become a magic girl. Let the city burn!Intronduce more magic girl cannon fodder.
[/spoiler]
So, Madoka 9...
Huh.
[spoiler]Its still a fucking scam. They are trying to appeal to human children as if they are young dragons, with equivalent Int and Wis to boot. And seriously what the fuck? Just find Simon and the Dai Gurren Dan and they will destroy entropy without being Puella Magi![/spoiler]
[spoiler]
Unfortenely, it will still be some thousands of years before spiral energy tech is developed enough to harvest power from HOTBLOODNESS and Simon and the Dai Gurren appear to take advantage of it.
Yes, all those giant robots throwing galaxies? Countless magic girls had to be sacrificed to develop them. :P
And even then the process wasn't perfected. Nia still blew up when all was said and done, Simon and Dai Gurren notwhitstanding.

[spoiler]
Unfortenely, I believe that means they'll just show up later in some last-ditch effort to take over the world in some later episode.
Wodan deserved a better end. Like cleaving trough an army of shit heads with his dying breath.
Gotta love Arado asking Setme if he's hurt when he's bleeding from multiple holes.
Speaking of wich, seems like he died in the background whitout redeeming speech.

Madoka 10 - whoa :blink go watch it...
.:picture spoilers within:.
[spoiler]Pictures are worth a thousand words, so let's cut to the chase.
Homura?
(http://i.imgur.com/9GRnR.png)
It begins with Homura introducing herself to the class, and Madoka is quick to make friends with her. I've got to say, Madoka's voice sounded different, and I'm guessing it was because she was confident and happy.
Later, when walking home

and right after..

(http://i.imgur.com/xViny.png)
(http://i.imgur.com/jy0KB.png)
She's off to fight Wallpur-something
(http://i.imgur.com/O07oO.png)
But it doesn't work out

Then there's a scene where her shield takes her back in time. I'll post the gif near the end.
#2
This time, she tries to put up a fight. Also, she makes pipebombs.
(http://i.imgur.com/yDpQM.png)
This fight was awesome, everyone in the fight kicked ass (Mami, Madoka, and Homura as the finisher)
You gotta watch it, screenshots doesn't cut it.
(http://i.imgur.com/qwL8s.png)
Not bad for her first time.
(http://i.imgur.com/4dBaB.png)
(http://i.imgur.com/xm8jH.png)
Sadly, Homura can't help Madoka the second time around, and it actually gets worse.
(http://i.imgur.com/3wFJ7.png)
(http://i.imgur.com/B3lfI.png)
Hello Witch-Madoka
(http://i.imgur.com/4XC3x.png)
3rd time's the charm.
This time, she steals from the Yakuza
(http://i.imgur.com/J1cty.png)
(http://i.imgur.com/1q0Cg.png)
There's a scene not in this picture, but it has all the characters discussing something. I'm assuming Homura is trying to convince them to stop fighting, but Homura gets veto-ed of sorts with Mami and Sayaka, I'm guess ing that they thought they could handle it.
A fight happens next, this time vs. Witch-Sayaka, and Homura saves Madoka and regrettibly kills Sayaka
(http://i.imgur.com/Lucki.png)
The aftermath of the battle
(http://i.imgur.com/qGt9n.png)
(http://i.imgur.com/zjILF.png)
Some people are felling sad.
(http://i.imgur.com/dPTAX.png)
Except Mami, who just saw Sayaka become a Witch, so she really snaps.
(http://i.imgur.com/NFykK.png)
Shit gets real. I would post pictures, but thee person who made this albm didn't capture them I'm guessing.
Later, it's Homura and Madoka, and it looks like she couldn't save Madoka for the third time.
(http://i.imgur.com/kSNKc.png)
(http://i.imgur.com/Bs3tJ.png)
Her soul gem is severely tainted, and Madoka asks Homura one last thing
[spoiler]To kill her before its too late.
It's hard to see, but she's in the center, and in the third image you see the light blast from her gun.
She was crying and screaming the whole time. :(

She has a great line here.
"Madoka, my only friend. For your sake, I will stay in this eternal labyrinth and seek only one exit"
And it's over. Roll the ED- wait, it's the OP...

Yeah, the OP is the ED this episode because it was skipped. Also..

To Be Continued.

Wow, that was an awesome episode. Seeing Madoka as a magical girl, seeing everyone alive (at some points), more witch fights, Homura's character advancement in this episode, and a happy Madoka. Also a badass Homura.

Madoka 10
[spoiler]I see one way remaining to stop Madoka from becoming a witch...
Kill her.
[spoiler]Or have her wish not to turn into a witch (or change back immediately, so Kyubey still gets the energy he needs), though that would ruin the drama. :p[/spoiler][/spoiler]

Madoka 10
[spoiler]We now have probably the best or at least most obvious example of a PM's powers being influenced by her wish - Homura wished to redo her meeting with Madoka, which can't really be done in any way other than by time travel. Apparently, Cubey (switching to this spelling now to match the full name, official romanizations be damned) really can make anything come true, and he either has no control over what he grants or he's so lawful he doesn't care. I sure wouldn't have given a girl that knows the big truth time travel. Then again, he is alien, so perhaps he merely doesn't understand that Homura might want to change the way things go.
That said...
(http://i55.tinypic.com/35hoioj.png)
Let's see.
(http://tinyurl.com/4muznet)
(http://tinyurl.com/48hhoas)
As every link in this sum is divisible by p (because it contains p itself through the binomial), it follows that the entire sum is divisible by p. Since this sum is equivalent to (http://tinyurl.com/4sut9bt) as per my derivation, (http://tinyurl.com/4sut9bt) is therefore itself also divisible by p, QED. I'm not sure offhand offhand, but I think p may be restricted to primes in the instruction because it's somehow required for the binomials to be all divisible by p. I'd need to check, but that's more effort than I want to put in right now.
It's not hard, Homura. She was probably nervous. She apparently got the hang of it by the series's start, though.[/spoiler]
-
I must say I TOTALLY called this episode.
[spoiler]
Homura didn't bother telling anyone about the truth because she already had done so, and it really didn't work that well.
This is, the gun girl completely snapped when she realized the truth. Very bad end.
I see one way remaining to stop Madoka from becoming a witch...
Kill her.
Homura has been there, done that. Wasn't exactly satisfying. The only possible good end for her is to save Madoka. And considering she can save-load scum ad nauseam, it makes sense for her to keep trying every possible aproach.
Or have her wish not to turn into a witch (or change back immediately, so Kyubey still gets the energy he needs), though that would ruin the drama. :p
Kyubey confirmed on another episode he can't reverse the Puella Magi transformation. So he probably can't reverse the witch transformation.
Following Agita's train of tought, the creepy alien bastard can't really control the transformation. It can unlock the power of feelings on little girls, upon wich it manifests in diferent ways depending on their personality, and then eventuall spirals out of control. I bet its the Magical Girl herself granting her own wish when the transformation happens.
Homura holding so long is whitout doubt thanks to her hax time travel power. While the other girls eventually faced walls of despair/headchomped, Homura can just press reset and start a New Game Plus. Heck, she even gets to keep her old skills and experience! :p

Or have her wish not to turn into a witch (or change back immediately, so Kyubey still gets the energy he needs), though that would ruin the drama. :p
Kyubey confirmed on another episode he can't reverse the Puella Magi transformation. So he probably can't reverse the witch transformation.
Following Agita's train of tought, the creepy alien bastard can't really control the transformation. It can unlock the power of feelings on little girls, upon wich it manifests in diferent ways depending on their personality, and then eventuall spirals out of control. I bet its the Magical Girl herself granting her own wish when the transformation happens.[/spoiler]
[spoiler]Take a look at these two things you said again. :p Kyubey not being able to reverse the transformation doesn't mean that wishes can't reverse the transformation. Even if he thought of it, Kyubey would have no reason to suggest making that kind of wish.[/spoiler]

[spoiler]
Perhaps I should elaborate a little more:
-Kyubey confirms that Madoka couldn't revert Sayaka to normal with just a wish, but she could do so with her own puella magi powers if she made the contract.
-Aka, the finitial wish is just the first flash of the power of the Puella Magi. Once they get the hang of it, they can perform even bigger miracles.
-This rises the problem however that the Walpurgis Night is still around the corner, and the only one who can defeat it is ascended Madoka. And by "ascended" I mean...
(http://i.imgur.com/2avV0.png)
The giant thing in the background piercing the heavens that forgot she ever was an human and will destroy the world.
Basically, Madoka is on a completely diferent level than the other girls. Only she could reverse their transformation because she's stronger than all of them put togheter... But who can turn her back to normal should she acept the contract and go out of control after defeating the Walpurgis Night?

[spoiler]Yes. She shows up in Hollow Ataraxia. And is about as powerful as she is here.
The reason why Ruby tells Illya not to pull out a trump card: (HA spoilers)
[spoiler]Bazett has a Noble Phantasm which can only be used as a counter against her opponent's strongest move. It automatically negates the attack and kills her opponent.

Given that we know the girls will be fine, THATS why I thought not Rider.
Rider's strength is in her Noble Phantasm and the Answerer would off Miyu.
Whereas Caster would have her danmaku spells and arguably Rule Breaker can break Fragarach's rules.
On the other hand loli-Rider mmmm.

The Inspector 23 - "The Heart of a Fallen Angel"
[spoiler]We open with Granzon on the moon, Shu telling the guys stuck there that he hacked the Inspectors' network to shut down their bioroids.
Looks like the Raven Parts have been installed, and we also get to see Wildwurger's Jacket Armour being attached.
One of Wendolo's eyes glows red as he says something about creation and destruction. Don't tell me he's an Einst in this continuity...
KoRyuOh is launched? And I note that it has disc-shaped shoulders rather than the game's spherical ones. But it doesn't accomplish much against Alfimi.
Gan-duro struggles against one of Rein Weissritter's beams... and then the Alt blocks a direct hit like it's nothing. Beam Coat rocks.
...wait, does Alfimi have a piano in her cockpit?
That was the easiest deprogramming I've ever seen. Kyosuke tells Alfimi "Excellen has nothing to do with it" and she snaps out of it instantly.
Apparently RyuKoOh can merge its magic talismans with R-3's Strike Shields and link the minds of nine psychodrivers to create the seal from a cerebremancer's wet dreams.
Lots of nekkid scenes. Including one where Excellen's body is glowing but her head is not, and none of Kyosuke is glowing. ??? I assume that was for censorship.
I'm not sure what that was at the end - it appeared to be either the Gespenst-III's monster form or an Einst Eisen.
[/spoiler]
-
The Inspector 23 - "The Heart of a Fallen Angel"
[spoiler]
Tiger-dragon can roar in space? No mercy for the laws of physics!
Finally Kyosuke back on the frontlines! And it seems like the Alteisen Riese has gained a level in Super Robot as it gets stronger when Kyosuke starts screaming to it.
One of Wendolo's eyes glows red as he says something about creation and destruction. Don't tell me he's an Einst in this continuity...
Unlikely since then he would have no reason to be fighting the einsts right now.
My vote goes for cyborg implant/nanonmachines in order to better pilot the Dikasis.
Apparently RyuKoOh can merge its magic talismans with R-3's Strike Shields and link the minds of nine psychodrivers to create the seal from a cerebremancer's wet dreams.
Full magic-psionics transparency it seems! Also they bothered to make a transformation animation this time. :p
I'm not sure what that was at the end - it appeared to be either the Gespenst-III's monster form or an Einst Eisen.
It was the Gespent-III of course, since it's
1-Extra nasty looking
2-In the burning ruins of the Shaddow Mirror's ex-base.
3-The Einst boss mentioned he was their sucessfull experiment.
Of course this can only mean one thing... BEOWULF VS KYOSUKE SHOWDOWN when the einst boss tries to merge realities! :D
The Einst Eisen are much more clumsy looking. Shame they never appeared tough. Or perhaps they'll show up as elite mooks in the end.
Also seems like Alfimi will be changing to emo mode from now on as she was deemed expendable. Well dominatrix loli was good while it lasted.

WTF?
Summed up:
"The youth of today have no culture! Anime, manga and the internet lead to evils such as child rape and homosexuality! Now read my awesome series of novels about child rape which some people once tried to recreate. They're literature, so they can only enrich our childrens' minds. Though anyone who lets a child see the cover of a manga version of them is sick filth who should be imprisoned. Banning everything will stop otaku from having defective genes somehow."

Inspector 24
[spoiler]
Cool new intro!
The infamous last dinner scene, fully animated! Except for the special african dish, guess the joke is harder to do when you can see what they're actually eating.
Excellen didn't even go to the hospital for a check up and right up to the frontlines. Guess they don't have much free time.
Inspectors pull a giant cannon of doom out of nowhere. Even the Shaddow Mirrors point out why exactly they didn't use it before.
Inspector girl basically commits suicide after Sikalog gets staked. It's a wonder her mecha just didn't explode after being cut in half, since that's what happens with all other giant robots that get cut in half in the show. Not made of explodium?
Dragon inspector first was all "I can block the freaking sword that smites evil! I'm invincible" and then he was all "GRANZON AIMING AT ME CRAP CRAP CRAP CCCCRRRRAAAAPPPPP!!!!"
Lamia trying to stab Axel and W16 puting herself on the way was a nice touch. Except one is left to wonder when exactly she lost her own lazer sword wich she could've used to parry the attack. And did she really have to use her own cockpit to take the blow? I kinda would've prefered the "My mecha gets reduced to wreckage after taking all of the Alteisen Riese's ammo in one go"
Wendolo really silent while his minions are being butchered and he just lost his super weapon. Well his little brother escaped alive to backstab him later.
I have a dark desire to see more of Shu ass kicking.
[/spoiler]
-
Inspector 25
[spoiler]Thought it was a continuity error at first, but no. That's actually the Guarbein Gunner. Huh.
...Wendolo really is an Einst. :o
"these annoying little animals who devoured the Fruit of Knowledge"... yeah, we're nothing like Angels. Just ignore our glowing red cores.
Oh god, his Dikastes has tentacles now. :o And then it goes and transforms into a beast.
Masaki, don't you have something that could help us here?
:lmao Even Shu noticed he wasn't using Cyflash.
Axel: *attacks Alt* "Why don't you transform like Wendolo?"
Kyosuke: "I don't need that power to defeat you!"
I think your communication skills need some work, Kyosuke. Someone could get the wrong idea. :rollseyes
Oh god, these subs are awful.
Gilliam: "Vindel Mauser!"
Subs: "Ather Panzer!"
What is that even supposed to mean? Another line is just subbed "?"
That "army of Gilliam bioroids" plan probably isn't going to work, Vindel, but I can't blame you for not knowing about implied retcons that happened in another continuity after your game was created.
ERAAAAAASE
And the JAM Project instrumental begins to play. "Love you, love you, sekai ga..."
No, Sanger, he's not the dark stranger. You're thinking of the guy he's fighting. Kinda.
"Consecutive Supreme sword attacks, my one weakness!"
"Lamia, you can understand innuendo. Truly you are my masterpiece."
How exactly do you fall over in space? It seems linked to cyborgs being redeemed through death somehow.
Umm... in that reaction shot does Excellen's pilot suit not cover her neck? I shouldn't be complaining when we have Aya, but still.
Tyrant Breaker YES. Make Zwei's final attack completely pointless while you're at it.
...did Gilliam just crucify himself? On a section of the Zweizergain's head which is only accessible when its armour is blasted off? ??? How are they breathing in space? WHERE THE HELL DID THE POWER RANGER HELMET COME FROM?[/spoiler]
-
Inspector 25
[spoiler]
Well since Axel is last Shaddow Mirror standing, I think now there's a possibility that he surrenders and cries for mercy aknowledges Kyosuke as being the good guy and allies with him to kick giant Einst ass.
...Wendolo really is an Einst. :o
"these annoying little animals who devoured the Fruit of Knowledge"... yeah, we're nothing like Angels. Just ignore our glowing red cores.
I owe you a cookie for that one.
Axel: *attacks Alt* "Why don't you transform like Wendolo?"
Kyosuke: "I don't need that power to defeat you!"
I think your communication skills need some work, Kyosuke. Someone could get the wrong idea. :rollseyes
What? Even Kyosuke has a dark side. And the einst do offer some pretty nifty work benefits. :p
"Consecutive Supreme sword attacks, my one weakness!"
Specially hilarous if you consider one of his subordinates was actually immune to it! :P
"Lamia, you can understand innuendo. Truly you are my masterpiece."
Big boobed cyborgs that can understand dirty jokes. That's what you get when Excellen plays mad scientist.
How exactly do you fall over in space? It seems linked to cyborgs being redeemed through death somehow.
Wasn't it all the bullet impacts pushing her forward? Also, Howling Rifle hell yeah!
Tyrant Breaker YES. Make Zwei's final attack completely pointless while you're at it.
Indeed, beating what was suposed to be one of the strongest bosses in this continuity at his own game must have been Bullet's top moment in all of SRW.
...did Gilliam just crucify himself? On a section of the Zweizergain's head which is only accessible when its armour is blasted off? ??? How are they breathing in space? WHERE THE HELL DID THE POWER RANGER HELMET COME FROM?
I have honestly no freaking idea. By the moment the helmet showed up my brain had already fried with all the absurdity out of nowhere.
BTW, is there any confirmation that Guilliam is an actual human and not some super cyborg/alien/clone/zombie?

Considering the stuff blowing up inside the mecha, there was no lack of secondary explosions for propulsion I believe.
Also that seemed to be a regular Ashsaber to me. Specially because the Shaddow Mirrors never got to AshSaber mass production in the anime, thus doesn't make much sense they would be able to deploy stronger models.

Well who says Vindel is an human? Lemon was a zombie robot and nobody noticed anything untill she said so. It's quite possible the Shaddow Mirrors leader took the same process to try to make himself immortal/stronger, being all war-obsessed and stuff.
Still doesn't explain them talking in space, but considering we can hear mechas explosions and tiger roars, they talking in vacuum is perfectly expected.

Kaname Madoka is a magical girl who wears a red and white dress with yellow accents and ties her hair into short twintails with ribbon. Her friend Mami has blonde hair styled into drill curls and always seems to get the worst of it when there's trouble. Meanwhile dark-haired Homura has a knack for zipping away from danger with no problem at all. Sayaka has short blue hair, a matching blue dress with white trim, and a sort of ill-advised gung ho in the face of strong enemies. Her best friend Hitomi has green hair but always seems to be a supporting character. Rounding out the cast is Kyouko, who means well but sometimes resorts to violence when it might not be necessary. Perhaps she's a little bipolar.

No OP this time.

"I'm borrowing this, Vindel." Wow, sure is convenient that XXXgain units are so compatible.
An actual transformation sequence for RyuKoOh? Nice, even if I'm not sure it's physically possible.
Did they just use a Banpreios-grade HTB Cannon?
They kill the Neue Regisseur and Beowulf shows up? :o
Apparently he's just a mass of tentacles from the waist down, and has a Revolving Stake on his arm. And is possibly Jetzt Regisseur.
Send in the clones! Grungust, SRX, Cybuster and... your guess is as good as mine on the one with hair.
The Nacht turns into a white... thing (Jetzt?) with big back thrusters. And Beowulf no longer looks like Kyosuke by this point.
Oh, so now you need a helmet to use it.
Beowulf is going out of his way to make the old Einst leader seem like a swell guy. He made Alfimi cry!
"Full Impact Cannon, Dead End Shoot" with three generators? Sure, why not. Let's throw in every other attack while we're at it.
Did... Beowulf just summon red and blue oni?
Don't you hate it when that happens, Kyosuke?
What's up with Kusuha's outfit in the ending?
Excellen, did you rip off Lamia's "if I ever become a doll" thing?

An actual transformation sequence for RyuKoOh? Nice, even if I'm not sure it's physically possible.
There already had been one in a previous episode...
Did they just use a Banpreios-grade HTB Cannon?
Dunno, I was kinda blinded by the tornado blade throwing the Regisseur into a pile of clouds IN SPACE!
They kill the Neue Regisseur and Beowulf shows up? :o
Told you so! :p
Apparently he's just a mass of tentacles from the waist down, and has a Revolving Stake on his arm. And is possibly Jetzt Regisseur.
Send in the clones! Grungust, SRX, Cybuster and... your guess is as good as mine on the one with hair.
The fists made me think it was a Soulgain evil clone.
Oh, so now you need a helmet to use it.
What I would like to know is where the hell the power rangers helmet went. :mad
Beowulf is going out of his way to make the old Einst leader seem like a swell guy. He made Alfimi cry!
He also one-shoted her with his freaking sidearm!
"Full Impact Cannon, Dead End Shoot" with three generators? Sure, why not. Let's throw in every other attack while we're at it.
They kinda did. First time we saw the giganscudo anchor thingies.
Did... Beowulf just summon red and blue oni?
CHEN-I mean, are we seeing anime being inspired by Touhou instead of the other way around? :o
Don't you hate it when that happens, Kyosuke?
He's kinda used to it. But I believe Axel hated even more being literally dismembered.
What's up with Kusuha's outfit in the ending?
Eeerrr, chinese fanservice?
Excellen, did you rip off Lamia's "if I ever become a doll" thing?
But she does says that on the game!
Overall, very good ending episode, but would've been better if they had split it between two as everything felt kinda rushed. Was expecting Beowulf. Was not expecting clones or white transformation (as einsts are usually all multi-color). And WTF hapened with the white green star?

P.S. His badge's full bring is Gesuga Tensho. His full bring is Tensa Zangetsu.
How ... Original.
P.S.S. Cliffhanger: He is covered in a black hued raitsu(sp).
Bets on it not being his powers just yet (needs to be super full-bringer first)?

I mean, seriously, if he needs his powers back, why don't pimp out his older abilities? Does he needs to get a new set of them that does the same as the old abilities? :banghead

Better to develop other characters, like turning his sisters into PCs.

Okay, because it actually is. It's just that Nagai thinks horrible violence and borderline hentai material are a-ok for the kiddies.

You ever stoped to pick up a Marvel comics nowadays and give it a look? Perhaps one of the Ultimates? Or the marvel zombies saga?

Basically yeah, Madoka girls hunt eldritch abominations at the behest of a mephistopheles expy.
Sakura captures cards that are 'good kids' really, just a little unruly, and mostly just trying to test her worth as a master than to really do a lot of damage.
Jewel Seeds are from a universe that destroyed itself through abuse of magic.
Jewel Seeds = Grief Seeds?
They both turn into monsters and carry an absurd amount of energy...

I'll agree that the cards are "good kids", confused/bored at worst, and it's mostly fun and games and creepily white lesbian best friend dressing up Sakura in the first arc.
Then we enter the second arc where the dude that made them shows up, and he's a complete psycho, puting people's lifes on the line to make Sakura convert cards faster. Wich ends with the whole city being held hostage.
And that's not even touching in Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles, where it's revealed Clow has been seriously messing up stuff all over the multiverse.

The manga makes it clearer, but basically nobody else was in any danger at all, but he had a time limit before the cards started burning out from mana depletion so he had to really push Sakura. Not sure about the expanded multiverse though. Never read that myself.

Hmm, you realize Sakura is partially a dere-construction of the magic girl genre itself right? For starters she has no natural transformation sequence, its her lesbian best friend that makes her the frilly clothes ("because magic girls must wear them!" on her own words), then videotapes everything and watches it. The familiar isn't taken seriously by anybody most of the time because he looks like a plushie, and instead of monster of the week we have confused/bored magic card of the week. Not to mention the rival (Syaoran) is always behind Sakura in raw power terms, breaking up with the usual "super-powerfull rival appears out of nowhere!" that even Madoka does.

@Oslecamo:
Yeah, I know. Hence why I said vicious deconstruction. The difference is like watching a shoddily built tower of wooden blocks: you can grab the pieces and rearrange them into something else entirely, or you can just laugh maniacally and push the whole thing over. Not saying the latter approach is bad, though. It can be vastly entertaining in its own right.
Hey, there's a new Negima? Let's check.

I think of it as setting the tower on fire while you laugh maniacally instead. :D

Well, Syaoran missed out on the power up Sakura got. So for season 2 hes kinda decorative. The gap wasn't so big initially though, given that he can cast spells on his own without cards(supposedly five elements magic, though all we see is the lightning blast) and he did have the Time captured.
RE: Nanoha-Madoka crossover
Really though, the Madoka-verse seems a perfect origin for Lost Logia.
Dangerous forbidden magic exploitation, Jewel/Grief Seeds.

Wich reminds me of the only moment on the series wich made me RAGE, the final judgement, when Yue goes all "Epic spell turning suckers!", and Sakura proceeds to be saved by the magic teacher with artifact of plot because she's the main character.
Also Syaoran does use basic Wind (to catch falling Sakura here and there), Fire (when fighting Snow and at least in one other instance) and Water (when Eriol turns him into a puppet). Plus the magic of Heart, by their powers combined, Sakura becomes the new card mistress! Because in any work by CLAMP true feelings are the biggest power available, so suposedly Syaoran just being there cheering is quite important.
Mind you, in the manga he doesn't even gets to catch a single card. Altough the whole deck was much smaller in there.
In Tsubasa he gets a lot more screen time and chances to (literally) kick ass, since Sakura spends most of the time comatose and stuff, but even then it's heavily implied Sakura is on a completely diferent level, since
[spoiler]
Each tiny fragment of her soul is an object of almost limitless power that can be used for all kind of crazy stuff.

...look, let's just say that the spear didn't...
Screw you guys, I'm out of here.
...I'm immune to death effects.
Shut up Archy.
Wow, you're really having your character sacrifice himself so the others can get away? I'm impressed.
Wait, what, sacrifice myself? Why would I do something like that? I cast Sudden Persisted time stop then draw my wand of cloud of knives...
Rocks. Fall.
Okay, I'm giving you another chance. You can take over an NPC.
Woohoo!
Just don't turn Shirou into your old character, okay?
Hey guys.
You're back?
Did not see that coming.
Yeah, after that last... incident I got him to build a character using only NPC classes this time. So let's take a look.

Nana Mizuki's character is adorable... de arimasu. :p
A piece of music which sounds like a cross between Theme of Combattler V and Faith is for the Transient People.

It's hard to tell so far, especially given how Nanoha turned out (starts as a Cardcaptor Sakura clone, ends as the chronicles of a futuristic military unit on another planet). I assume things will become more serious after a while.

So instead witches were replaced by demons and apparently everything proceeded almost exactly as it did before. That's still rather annoying (I loathe the notion of "fate" and the idea that things just work out a certain way regardless), but much closer to satisfying than it could have been.
And Homu-chan was very badass. Especially those wings, both sets. I'm a sucker for wings. (How long was she falling from that building, though? Has PMMM been set on Coruscant all along?)
I was surprised that there was no Magia in the ending, though. The very end certainly called for it.[/spoiler]

Even if it's just a month's time.
So the majority of the evolution of mankind was done by emotionally disturbed little girls? Explains a lot really.
I was very suprised by Madoka's wish: "KILL THEM ALL!!!"??? Like, if you're rewriting the laws of the universe, couldn't you go for a less bloodthirsty solution like solving entropy or simply making soul gems uncorruptible?
Also no comments on the fact that Homura herself seems to be descending into madness while ascending into some kind of Neo-Witch just like Madoka evolved into Neo-Puella-Magi? That's totally calling for a 2nd season of the series!

[spoiler]
Regarding the wish, there are still limits based on power(you would need infinite power to solve entropy by rewriting the universe I think), and Madoka is by no means unaware of the nature of wishes. Since she had only a few days to think over it, rather than risk causing more problems by trying to solve it all(end entropy, the Incubators never came to Earth, mankind in stone age or Perfect Soulgems, which could take any of a million possible iterations), she wished to have the ability to solve one specific problem.
Hence why the "by my own hand" line. She will personally save each and every girl from the brink of despair in the exact way she wants(as opposed to ending all Witches by making them all drop dead, killing all magical girls in the same stroke, or making soulgems incorruptible by petrifying all girls through the ages as soon as they make their wish).
So they make their wish, fight their battles and at the end of life Madoka takes them personally to Valhalla. Note that girls no longer become Witches because their soulgems darken from despair, but they CAN run out of energy and the despair simply manifests external to them anyway. Running out of energy of course, kills you when you're effectively an energy being. Not bad for a wish she had less than a week to think over, as a teenaged girl. Maybe she could have done better, but it'd take a lawyer-philosopher quite a while to work out a 'perfect' wish.
As for that last, her battles come to an end, she wants to see Madoka one last time. Me, I like leaning on the Madoka-Valhalla option. Where else should 'disappeared' magical girls go, than the formless realm she is in?

My bet it's that it did work. It just worked too well and either Madoka was killed by colateral damage or Earth was glassed/mutated too badly in the aftermath. Altough arguably one of the few things that could go toe to toe with TTGL, Getter Ray technology is still renowed for a wide array of dangerous secondary effects.

I'll comment as I read. Fight scenes look rather chaotic and hard to read. Could use some improvements there. However, all is forgiven because...

Okay. Slight changes to canon - Tasuku being a pilot from the start, just like in Divine Wars. Hopefully this will be more awesome than that anime. So far looks like it'll be.
Garoikas, Cosmolions, and other elements borrowed from OGS are here. That's nice. And did I see a Gespent Tomahawk on the extra concept art page?
Dr Marion really is a mad scientist in this one. And yeah, Excellen is always amusing. Okay, except for the last few pages. These were just awkward.

Well, given the mentions of Negi's own unusual uses of delayed spells, actually thinking ahead does not appear to come to the minds of many mages. But then Yue makes up for lack of magical muscle with forethought and intelligence. And being in the Library Exploration Club is basically dungeon delving(WITHOUT Magic or ki powers mind), none of it's members were really more than inconvenienced by the Magic World.
-
Either that, or most mages consider contingencies more trouble than they're worth. Given that both instances of them being used (by Negi and Yue) are by explicit teen geniuses, albeit inexperienced by the first time they use them, perhaps setting up contingencies is not particularly hard, but rather complex. Like brute forcing mathematical algorithms. Perhaps it's a combination.
Negi is explicitly stated to exceed at Time And Prep.

Also it seems after Primum failed the Lifemaker went nuts on minmaxing Secundum(I notice personality traits that look like they got copied off Nagi/Rakan), hes sorta a sociopath.[/spoiler]

Yeah, I wonder what's the defect in series 4,5,6 though. They're built out of the same template as 3 after all.
Or possibly they just hadn't gotten a personality yet.

Dog Days 10
[spoiler]Oh F*** they let out that rajah that was sleeping in Arcanix. Or if you prefer, a cross between the Kyuubi from Naruto and the fire boss from Twilight Princess. And then one of the Light Spirits from the same shows up.
Wait, how did he summon the board if she has his weapon? ???
Princess, normally, painlessly killing someone in great pain who wishes for death and will cause massive destruction if left alive is not considered to be torturing them. ??? And I don't suppose there's any point in asking why she suddenly became naked?
Excelide, SET UP!
Well, never mind, that was actually pretty easy. Nice catch Milhi. And nice aim.
My guess for where the sword came from: Belka. Oh, and despite how insanely dangerous it is they seem to have dropped it in the middle of a field without actually destroying it. So, um, yeah.[/spoiler]

That reminds me, in one of the recent spin-off official mangas, Homura seems to finally have achieved a "good ending" by somehow keeping Madoka and Sayaka out of the whole magic girl thing.
Of course, this means all we see from them are a couple of panels of them and then Homura kicking Mami out telling her to leave them alone.

Kyubey encounters Ghost Rider. Discuss.
Which ghost rider?
When the hulk came back to earth after being exiled, he brought an army of aliens and proceeded to plummet NY and threaten to conquer the world, taking down multiple of the heaviest marvel hitters on the way, including Shield, X-men, avengers, Dr.Strange and several others.
When Reed Richards tried to point ghost rider at the hulk, the flaming skull simply replied that the hulk was in perfect legitimacy of razing down the world after having been betrayed by it, and drove off.
So it's perfectly possible that the ghost rider acepts Kyubey's vision of "the souls of some little girls are worth the salvation of the entire universe".
-
Nah, Ghost Rider is a spirit of vengeance. So Hulk getting vengeance was A-OK.

Also I'll agree the fatalities do look a little somewhat dull, but that's probably because MK is kinda old compared to all the other ones.

Sanger Zonvolt piloting a mecha whitout an oversized sword!
Tasuku, just like Guilliam, can switch mechas in the cold void of the space.
Defensive supports ahoy!
Hyriu custom and its whole crew ascended to whole new levels of epicness as they break trough with a frontal charge trough hundreds of enemy battleships! Yes, that's battleships I said, not even counting their lion swarms!

Let's read, thanks for the heads up.
EDIT: Well, that was fast. The events are... a bit different than in OG. But still recognizable and I can see why they did it the way they did.
This manga continues to be good. Battle scenes sometimes look a bit chaotic (but that's how fight scenes just go with manga), but the writing is nice, the story maintains a balance between being too comedic and too GRIMDARK, and the reaction faces... oh God, the reaction faces.

He's just as squishy as any vaguely canine Magical Girl pet (any physical attack tears through him like wet tissue), the jokes about nigh-invulnerability stem from a) his having an indefinite amount of bodies and b) him being a little asshole, so he needs to be resilient in fanart to have the maximum possible pain inflicted on him.

So he's just a Quori inhabiting an Inspired (to put it in DnD terms)?

Not quite, its strongly implied the QBs are a hivemind species, which is also why they cannot individually experience emotion, nor consider what happens to an individual significant.

I don't see them as an hivemind species since QB seems to have a pretty good sense of self ("I fulfilled my quota here"). I see it more like a member of an highly advanced species that somehow lost emotions along the way. He cares about happens to individuals, it's just that he considers humans little more than "cattle". He breeds puella magics brimming with energy and then harvests them for profit. Like QB points out, humans don't cry either when they kill their own cattle for feeding. QB's civilization needs emotion energy to survive, and the Earth is the perfect harvesting place.
-
The disregard and simple replacement of lost individuals hint that each QB 'individual' is basically a hive of them. Just not the whole race as a single hivemind.
-

Or maybe he simply isn't foolish enough to interact directly with angry girls with super powers, and the true QB is in some secret place controling a bunch of puppets on Earth.
This is, don't you think it would be too much of a coincidence that the alien race just happens to look like cute adorable dog-thingies that little girls will fawn all over? With an included organ for harvesting grief seeds? They're clearly some advanced mass-produced cyborg designed specifically for that job and is being controled by somebody else.
If he was an hivemind, we would've surely seen more than one QB acting at the same time, but no, it's simply that when one gets wasted, the controler activates other puppet, pretty much how in a game when your avatar is destroyed you can bring a new one right away.

Actually, considering his reaction to a world destroying Kremhild Gretchen, QB pretty much HAS to be based off planet.

[spoiler]Yeah, I think she just grabbed a candy cane from the barrier and started laying into familiars. Born to be an hero.
What it LOOKS like though, is that QB set up the whole shebang so that he could access Madoka, and hit a few targets of opportunity along the way. Yuma just happened to be there.
Homu's options were:
Trap Madoka right there - which keeps her out of trouble, and QB probably can't find her in a witch's Barrier that quickly. Except the witch is a nasty surprise, with time manipulation magic AND oracle Oriko.
Take Madoka along - when the fight goes badly QB will show up to contract her.
Get Madoka out of the barrier first - The whole school dies, along with the other girls. QB wins, considering how much feeding those familiars are getting, there'd be a witch population explosion right after.
The wildcard here is Yuma, with her healing powers(I guess the wish alone isn't enough, you need to count personality as well) and her resilient spirit. Probably because she had a harsher life, shes less prone to breaking when stressed like Mami and Sayaka would have.
Also, looks like the witch powers are just magical girl powers taken to the extreme. No limits on power magnitude(the barrier is ultimately the same thing that lets them summon weapons and create bindings), but insane.[/spoiler]

You call that Mami breaking? Nah, that's Mami taking it easy and just catching her breath.
THIS is Mami snaping in case you forgot:
[spoiler]
(http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg138/oslecamo/Extras/moti.png)
[/spoiler]
Now you say QB set all of this up, but when did he actually pulled any strings? All I saw was a bunch of magic girls starting a small war that ended up atracting QB's atention. Whoever wins, QB wins as despair and emotion energy are ripe to harvest.
Yuma did help them there, but on the other hand she's also guilty for making Kyoko and Mami get soft on the first place. So her mom abused her? Well Kyoko's father was a religious fanatic that burned down their family. Mami had to spend her wish to literally save her skin from a slow painful bleeding death. They certainly score higher on the harsh life department if you ask me.
I'll agree that witch is some sort of "limit break" on the magic girl's part, but only because we had seen a magic girl producing crazy barriers long before.
I'm talking of course of Homura's house in the anime with floating parts and screens that reflect her toughts instantly. That was clearly running on magic.
Another key part is their soul breaking out from the jewel and developing a new twisted body.
[/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]Yeah, well, she took it at a younger age than them, and remember, at least Kyouko had a happy childhood before her father went nuts and Higurashi'ed the whole family.
She was traumatized, but not broken by the revelation, since she had already made accommodations with her mode of living. The shock COULD kill her in combat though.
Mami snaps the other way. She thinks of herself as a hero of justice. Learning that she will ultimately be the same thing she hunts is critical damage. Shes also known to be unstable to start with, allowing herself to be completely distracted by Madoka's decision to join her and get Charlotte'd.
Yuma just let them focus on the present really. And also having a healer helps. Support casters are important, and she does seem pretty good at AoEs and the like.
The barrier thing, yeah, Homura's field is one, and on a smaller scale, all the sword/gun/etc conjurations are basically the same magic(see UBW). The body thing is what Sayaka has been using since Kyubey told her her body was basically a remotely operated drone, which, in turn is just an extension of the same magic to transform into their battle form. It stands to reason a simple extension would be to create a new, more combat capable drone body...except all these 'witch-grade' magic push you closer to a Limit Break. You can't handle the mental stress for very long if you use them, at least without a shitton of experience. Which Homura has of course.

Oriko 7
[spoiler]
Bad End.
Oriko bites it, but not before taking down Kyuubei down with her. And Madoka. Prescience is indeed a dangerous power.
Well at least the world is saved from Madoka-witch. I guess. There may not be enough magic girls to left to defeat Walpurgis.

[/spoiler]
[spoiler]There are. All the girls who're are alive, so you have Kyoko, Yuma and Mami. Sayaka is demonstrating the same sort of activity that will put her on the path to be a magical girl as well, this time with full knowledge of what it means to sign up. With this knowledge they would be apt to take more care of magic usage, and theres enough girls to give Walpurgis a run for her money.
Without Madoka, there is no profit in Kyubey maneuvering them to their deaths, though Homura would have immediately gone for a new cycle. Plot wise, it removes the two powerful plot devices of the anime neatly, without breaking continuity, no doubt in future loops Homura assassinates Oriko before she ever gets Yuma into the scheme, in order to protect Madoka.
I have to admit though, watching that shard splatter QB's head is immensely satisfying.[/spoiler]

[spoiler]
Eerr, Kyubey never maneuvered them to their deaths. He just had to worry about geting them to make the contract, then he just had to sit back and watch them colapse either by being nomed, stabbed by another magic girl or pure despair at the ugly real world. Sooner, later, they all break except for Homura and Madoka-god. In particular, the longer they take to break, the more energy they yield so no reason to rush. Even when Madoka rewrote the universe, magic girls were still colapsing left, right and center despite Kyubey geting no profit from it anymore.
Sayaka in particular always breaks. When Homura tried to warn her, in the "normal" continuity because of boyfriend problems and on the rewritten universe despite having the backup of three other magic girls. She's a weak link, in particular when she discovers that she's turned into a pretty lich (which was not revealed on this continuity, just that they eventually turn into witches).
Similarly Mami has a record of geting softer and softer with allies so there's a good chance she slips and gets nomed. That or simply snaping and start shooting her own teammates. Very unstable link.
So we probably end up with Kyoko and Yuma. One has serious lack of experience, the other quite reckless, chances aren't very good.
Good point on Homura now starting every new loop by killing Oriko. I had tought about exactly that when I was reading but then forgot it.
Which makes one wonder if Homura doesn't keep a list of "things to take care off right away when I start a new loop".
[/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]While he did not do in Mami, he did push Sayaka and Kyoko both to die faster, since he wanted Madoka-who-has-all-the-power-he-needs to contract.
Sayaka's Case:
Root causes
- Heroic Personality. When stressed, she tends to go all out and hasten corruption via magic depletion. It's a pretty deep part of her, given that what we've seen of her in Oriko has her battling familiars WITHOUT any knowledge or power, just a candy cane and a ribbon-stick ripped from the Barrier itself.
- Ms NTR. She likes Kamijou, but can't spit it out, and Hitomi will nab him, causing a classic teenage girl breakdown.
- As an extension of her paladin complex, she will reject help and the methods of other less than heroic sorts.
Kyubey's nudge: Telling her how she can be more heroic and also rubbing in the pretty lich aspect(that is an awesome phrasing btw). The 'disregard pain, let regeneration handle it all' method taxes her magical reserves, not to mention the superspeed enhancement she started using.
What is different:
- This time she would go into it(if she does indeed contract), knowing the dangers and at least the consequence of magical depletion. Due to her heroic personality(much like Mami), she would strive to avoid Witchdom, at least. Possibly she might kill herself before she corrupts all the way.
- She'd have support. While she does not trust Kyoko(ruthless facade) and Homura(ruthless for anything not-Madoka), she does trust Mami(heroic type just like her), and probably Yuma(shes cute, who can resist?). This'd help avoid fatal isolation.
- Madoka is dead. It'd be more profitable for the girls to defeat Walpurgis, collect her grief seeds and then inevitably corrupt. They taste sweeter that way, and it helps if you don't kill the goose that lays the golden eggs.
EDIT: - ALSO, Hitomi owes Sayaka her life. Knowingly so, unless they got memory wiped. She probably wouldn't yoink her savior's boyfriend, would she?
Kyouko's Case:
Root cause: Frustration mostly.
Kyubey's Nudge - Nudge, nudge, hint, hint, maybe Witch can be saved. This is a totally unnecessary push, except he wanted to force Madoka into contracting.
What's different: Madoka is dead, theres no reason to nudge her. Better to wait for the natural end.
[/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]
That wasn't a nudge, that was Kyubey honestly answering Sayaka's question to why did she need to be turned into a pretty lich. "Because if you were still human you would've been left screaming in a bloody pulp". Then Sayaka decides to abuse it on her own.
Homura even tries to give her a grief seed to recharge, but Sayaka is indeed too much of a lonely paladin. She didn't witched for abusing the HP/boost system (which they pretty much need to abuse to suceed, and she used against Kyoko anyway), she witched because she refused to use grief seeds.
Also on the madoka-god universe Sayaka still didn't kill herself and then colapsed despite knowing the rules. And having Mami's suport.
Kyoko ironically was the one self-destructing. She was also the one deciding that Sayaka could be saved by herself. The incubator actualy pointed out she was gone for good.
Kyubey even points out what the hell does Kyoko expects to acomplish by taking care of Sayaka's puppet body! The "Sayaka can still be saved" argument was only used towards Madoka to try to get her to sign the contract. Kyoko wasn't anywhere near to listen to it.
Equally important, since Kyoko sacrificed her soul for her final strike, Kyubey probably didn't even profit much from it.

The means: "I've never seen it happen before. You never know what crazy things magical girls can do"(both factual statements, combined to generate a false conclusion)
*after the event*
"Well of course it was impossible"
Consider the return on investment:
Madoka at the point, has enough magical potential to exceed the output of every girl on the planet once she flips Witch. As long as she contracts, this is inevitable.
Madoka is not contracting, due to Homura's interference.
Sayaka is allowing Madoka to simply hold to the status quo. After all, her friend has the Witch situation under control.
Truth of prettylich is exposed by accident. Girls are traumatizing.
Sayaka unstable, encourage her towards risky behavior to harvest energy potential before she gets herself killed. Also pushes Madoka towards contracting because of Walpurgis hazard approaching.
Sayaka turns to witch. Main energy harvest from subject complete.
Madoka still not contracting, Homura and Kyoko may be able to defeat Walpurgis, removing the easiest motivation for Madoka to contract.
Subject Kyoko exhibiting irrational actions towards Subject Sayaka. Potential Witchification candidate.
Nudge Kyoko into going through with her insane and obviously suicidal plan.
Subject Kyoko performs as expected, being eliminated. Unfortunately Subject's irrational behavior prevented energy harvest as well as secondary energy harvest. However, return on investment is still positive. Homura is not able to defeat Walpurgis alone, Madoka will contract as a logical consequence. Either Homura will ask for help(rational) or she will be killed(irrational), Madoka will contract to save the city. The resultant energy return will be far greater than that lost by Kyoko's wastage by orders of magnitude.
Madoka contracts. Fffff-

On other news, the "base" Madoka manga ended.
[spoiler]
Quite interesting that at the end (http://www.mangareader.net/mahou-shoujo-madoka-magica/12/39) Madoka's sacrifice just delayed the inevitable end of the world under the power of negative feelings. Helps explaining the end of the anime as well.
[/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]Well it was pretty clear even in the anime, Sayaka still vanishes. Madoka couldn't do more without risking perverting their wishes, but since they just run out of power when taken by despair, it helps.
Of course, monsters still spawn, but I notice that Madoka's wish affected "all times and all universes" so even alternate timelines are saved? Could be interesting to see the potential consequences of that.[/spoiler]

This seems like an appropriate post to commemorate today as a very special day: the day Madoka surpassed Nanoha in Danbooru's copyright tag post count. Madoka, a single 12-episode season anime, over a period of only 6 months, has toppled a show with three seasons amassing posts for over 7 years. If it can keep up the current pace, it should surpass Haruhi in a month or so, and attain the title of top anime copyright on all of Danbooru.
Shine on, you crazy diamond.

Let me rant a bit. Not about ViVid, but series with tournament arcs in general.
Now, I didn't read or watch them all, but you know what I'd want to see? The main characters losing the elimination round. And I don't mean them being unlucky enough to face against other main characters, rivals or named bad guys - just lose to unnamed filler participants.
Because just because the main cast is trying hard to practice their skills, technique and strength doesn't mean they're the only people in the world that do that. It somehow sends the message that the main characters are somehow special, and can lose or have a hard time only against other special people. The non-special can be safely ignored.
The same applies to non-tournament series, but to a lesser extent: that's because usually, when the characters lose it means they friggin' DIE or otherwise suffer a plot-wrecking loss. This is why Tomino killing off Amuro at the end of his (non-canon) novelisation of the first Gundam to the hands of Char's unnamed wingmen feels like such an anticlimax. But in a tournament arc? The characters just eat a piece of humble pie and move on. No harm done.
-
In series with good tournament arcs, the good guys suffer to get by even against 'filler' characters. An example from Yu Yu Hakusho:
[spoiler]In the fight against team Ichigaki, Yusuke has lost the ability to use spiritual attacks because he overdid it in the previous round. Hiei's right arm has been inutilized due to his use of the Jaou Ensatsu Kokuryuu Ha, and both him and Kurama have been held back from returning to the stadium due to a mecha Ichigaki sent after them.
Cue free-for-all fight with team Ichigaki up against team Urameshi. To top it off, the techniques used by the members of Ichigaki's team (a group of martial artists who sold themselves as guinea pigs so Ichigaki would heal their ailing master) are refined enough that for all effects and purposes, they are invisible. (So despite being 'filler' characters, they do have some degree of competence.) The team is controlled by a large, bulbous device on their backs, but forceful removal of the device equates death for them.
All the while, Ichigaki delights on how little chance they have to win without Hiei and Kurama on the team. Kuwabara senses their plight and tries to talk them back into humanity, which only manages to get him smacked around like a ragdoll.
The resolution of the fight itself involves Hiei and Kurama showing up with the ailing master, explaining that Ichigaki poisoned him to look like he was sick (which managed to reach out to the team and immobilize them long enough for the Masked Lady to KO them with some technique that sent the bulbous devices flying), and Yusuke getting pissed, recovering his spiritual power and proceeding to pound the crap outta Ichigaki.
Regardless of the outcome, this was easily one of the toughest fights the team had to endure up to that point, and if it weren't for the Masked Lady, they could have well lost the match.
Adding insult to injury, they had to proceed to the next match immediately afterwards. Thanks to trickery on the opposite team's part, Hiei and the Masked Lady get forcefully benched, and they have to face an elimination-style matchup with two people on five (with Kuwabara having suffered heavy damage on the previous match, he didn't count). [/spoiler]

Those two matches were still really good too. That entire arc had some great fights.

I do understand where you are coming from with this, but keep in mind that these tournament arcs often have something plot-vital at the end (Dragonball being an exception; I have to say that's one of the things about the Buu saga that I actually really enjoyed).
If the main characters fail to obtain that plot device, then it requires something to happen afterwards to either replace it or to continue the plot. Like what happened in Negima (the second tournament arc, not the Mahora one). They had no way to actually get that kind of money without some really questionable methods (there are some other options, but none as time-effective as the Tournament).

All the while, Ichigaki delights on how little chance they have to win without Hiei and Kurama on the team. Kuwabara senses their plight and tries to talk them back into humanity, which only manages to get him smacked around like a ragdoll.
The resolution of the fight itself involves Hiei and Kurama showing up with the ailing master, explaining that Ichigaki poisoned him to look like he was sick (which managed to reach out to the team and immobilize them long enough for the Masked Lady to KO them with some technique that sent the bulbous devices flying), and Yusuke getting pissed, recovering his spiritual power and proceeding to pound the crap outta Ichigaki.
Regardless of the outcome, this was easily one of the toughest fights the team had to endure up to that point, and if it weren't for the Masked Lady, they could have well lost the match.
Adding insult to injury, they had to proceed to the next match immediately afterwards. Thanks to trickery on the opposite team's part, Hiei and the Masked Lady get forcefully benched, and they have to face an elimination-style matchup with two people on five (with Kuwabara having suffered heavy damage on the previous match, he didn't count). [/spoiler]
Those two matches were still really good too. That entire arc had some great fights.
Let me rant a bit. Not about ViVid, but series with tournament arcs in general.
Now, I didn't read or watch them all, but you know what I'd want to see? The main characters losing the elimination round. And I don't mean them being unlucky enough to face against other main characters, rivals or named bad guys - just lose to unnamed filler participants.
Because just because the main cast is trying hard to practice their skills, technique and strength doesn't mean they're the only people in the world that do that. It somehow sends the message that the main characters are somehow special, and can lose or have a hard time only against other special people. The non-special can be safely ignored.
The same applies to non-tournament series, but to a lesser extent: that's because usually, when the characters lose it means they friggin' DIE or otherwise suffer a plot-wrecking loss. This is why Tomino killing off Amuro at the end of his (non-canon) novelisation of the first Gundam to the hands of Char's unnamed wingmen feels like such an anticlimax. But in a tournament arc? The characters just eat a piece of humble pie and move on. No harm done.
I do understand where you are coming from with this, but keep in mind that these tournament arcs often have something plot-vital at the end (Dragonball being an exception; I have to say that's one of the things about the Buu saga that I actually really enjoyed).
If the main characters fail to obtain that plot device, then it requires something to happen afterwards to either replace it or to continue the plot. Like what happened in Negima (the second tournament arc, not the Mahora one). They had no way to actually get that kind of money without some really questionable methods (there are some other options, but none as time-effective as the Tournament).
No question about it! I was just pointing out that the best tournament plots usually have the characters suffering even when their opponents are 'filler'.

In ViVid's case we have plenty of secondary characters who can afford to have their butts kicked, so its probably cool.

Fate/Stay Night in Dresden Files RPG
[spoiler]Fate
Shirou - Told to make a mage character. Turned up with a guy with crap for Lore, Sponsored Magic(a custom version that allows instant speed thaumaturgic crafting but no other Evocation aspect) and an Item of Power granting Superhuman Recovery(catch - Saber linked). Total sucker for compels. "Role"-player, but mostly just dumb.
Saber - Made exactly what she was asked to. A super sword-fighter with a super magic sword. Had an aspect on gluttony, which she tags for extra fuel. A bit one-dimensional a character, but consistent.
Rin - Made a pretty good well rounded mage type. Arrived with what she thought was a reasonable amount of power and roleplayed well enough. Turned out everyone else was some kind of idiot AND she had terrible dice luck. Is also a writer when shes not gaming.
Archer - Powergamer, showed up at the last minute with a totally mysterious type of character. Ignored the guidelines to make an Archer("I have a bow ok, it shoots swords"), and forgot about background. Hyperoptimized, but had to leave, so he suicided on Berserker.
Ilya - Decent player, but can't make it to most sessions. A thaumaturgy specialist. Became team mascot when she had to leave for various reasons.
Berserker - Bought Physical Immunity for his Item of Power....then realized it brought him below 0 Refresh. Spent the rest of the game Berserk except when Ilya invokes a compel on his High Concept. Possibly Ilya's player's kid brother. Really liked fighting and pretty much nothing else.
Sakura - NPC at this point
Shinji - Rider's player's boyfriend. A 'Role'-player like Shirou, but a jerk IRL. Ilya's player got her kid brother to stomp him and get rid of him.
Rider - A fairly competent optimizer, and basically like Saber in that she followed the rules and guidelines for the most part. Unfortunately her boyfriend is a DICK, and just abuses her when he finds out he sucks. Shinji's player forced her into a losing battle and dictated all her tactics.
Kuzuki - NPC at this point
Caster - Another powergamer, abusing unlimited skeleton creation and generally getting uber powerful thaumaturgy by skipping lots of scenes. Abused chain binding to get her own Servant, but the DM put his foot down on the chain bind. Died while bragging about how much of a leet optimizer she is to Gilgamesh's player. Gilgamesh proceeds to Show Her and killed her in one shot.
Fake Assassin - NPC for the most part, but a new player picked him up for a bit to test run the game.
Bazett - Unable to make it to the game at the last minute. So she died off screen.
Kotomine - That Rogue Guy, the type who'd steal from the party, secretly murder everyone's families, etc while hiding the whole time. Got along just awesome with Gilgamesh's player and picked up some optimization tips.
Lancer - Cool guy and made a very neat character. Had attendance problems though and then he got Kotomine and Gilgamesh for his partners(since his Master couldnt make it). That he had two jerks as partners probably contributed to absentism.
Gilgamesh - That Guy. Powergames, uses a broken character with basically infinite Resources. Constantly wants to rape and/or murder someone and hits on the girls in the group all the time. Eventually gets beaten by a Plot Device the DM upgraded Shirou's Item of Power into.
Unlimited Blade Works
Shirou - Same old idiot, but Archer's player got together with him halfway through the game to rewrite his sheet. The whole fight was staged by Archer so he can justify the sheet rewrite and defeat Gilgamesh using the dumbest likable player at the table.
Saber - Still the same old super sword fighter, but became the prize loot between all the party jerks. Caster wanted to rape her, and so did Gilgamesh. Eventually got together with the Only Sane Girl as Rin became her Master.
Rin - Still the Only Sane Girl. She added some martial arts since she got her butt kicked by Kotomine last time, so she can fight in melee as well. Surprised Caster by totally beating her ass with buffed melee. Archer was an allied player(along with the derpy Shirou and the Straight Man Saber) but enigmatic in the whole business to show up Gilgamesh.
Archer - Took it one step further, since he never wrote a character backstory, he decided to ignore the guideline about making a historical hero and decided to be Shirou from the FUTURE! so he can rewrite Shirou's sheet for him. Also started using his optimizing powers to their full extent, using speed-crafted single use items to great effect.
Then he slipped off somewhere so Gilgamesh wouldn't notice when he interfers in the final battle. This whole campaign was his personal war with Gilgamesh. And while he was a dirty optimizer, he wasn't That Guy(Gilgamesh).
Ilya - Her player's life got even busier, so she arranged the same things as happened in Fate, so shes a party mascot while away...then Gilgamesh's player killed her in a gruesome manner. Not that she could keep on playing anyway, since her kid brother refuses to attend anymore.
Berserker - Gilgamesh demonstrated his CO skills on the poor kid and brutally killed his character without the kid ever getting to do anything between getting comboed down.
Sakura - NPC at this point
Shinji - Broke up with Rider, and was generally in the dumps. Then Gilgamesh's player offered an alliance, only to use his character for his sick MPreg fetishes. This broke him.
Rider - After she broke up with Shinji, Rider's player left the game for a while.
Kuzuki - New player showed up, and since Caster's master hadn't been seen before, he was assigned that character. Except he never read the campaign bio and just created a standard issue fantasy kung fu monk who was also a teacher. This wasn't so bad with the powergaming Caster putting buffs on him though.
Caster - Gets to indulge her lesbian rape fantasy on Saber and generally made it uncomfortable around the table even as she joined Gilgamesh in powergaming to the Nth degree. She allied with Archer to get some revenge on Gilgamesh for killing her last time, but Archer couldn't stand her being a general sicko and offed her anyway.
The GM was so relieved when Archer PK'ed her that he let Archer get away with more things than most.
Fake Assassin - The new guy came back after Caster got PK'ed by Archer and turned Assassin into a pretty cool guy. So they did another oneshot with him.
Bazett - Still dead.
Kotomine - He couldn't attend, so Gilgamesh and Lancer were largely left to their own devices. And then he came back and got in an argument with Lancer, forcing Lancer to kill himself, since he had Gilgamesh anyway(as Shinji was the patsy to start with). Lancer instead of just dying, offed him while he was at it.
Lancer - He shows up a lot more, now that Kotomine's player couldn't attend, and was generally a cool dude over beer and pretzels. Probably an older guy. When Kotomine returned to fuck things up he decided to do the world some good and went for a double KO.
Gilgamesh - Reaches his zenith, as between trying to rape Saber, MPreg Shinji, ripping Ilya's heart out, every other player present basically allied to take out his uber broken character.
Archer meanwhile, was finding no end of help from the 'sane' people in the group in his personal dick waving contest. Everyone who could chipped in on getting Shirou, the party retard to beat Gilgamesh at his own game.
Heaven's Feel
After the CharOpt dueloff in every direction, the GM instituted harsh new houserules against powergaming. Archer's trick got nerfed by some terrible consequences on every use, Gilgamesh got an activation action problem, Caster lost the ability to chain-bind.
Shirou - Not really the brightest bulb, Shirou continues to use the changes Archer helped him put in. Other than using some of the spare power templates that Archer left, he just...kept going even as his character got shredded.
Saber - The GM recruited her to join his revenge spree against the jerks, so she got 'killed'.
Rin - STILL the Only Sane Girl. Not her good day since Archer quits, but she keeps at it, with good planning and worse luck. It all comes to a head in the finale, as the GM decided the only sane person could use a little insanity and gave her a custom weapon that replaces her previous gem-potion-bombs.
She tries to talk Sakura out of her rampage.
Then all the luck across all three campaigns merged in an epic cascade, every attack was a crit, every damage was maximum. She was oneshotting everything....and flubbed it in the end to be the Only Sane Man
Archer - He stuck around for a bit, but when an indestructible Berserker showed up, in addition to the item creation nerfs. He just quit.
Ilya - Her kid brother now has someone else to deal with him, so she got a lot more playtime, but without Berserker of course. Shes a little detached from most of the game at this point though, partly because of frequent absentism.
Berserker - Since the kid quit, the GM took the opportunity to Plot-Kill him and turn Berserker into an unkillable Plot Death Engine.
Sakura - GM's girlfriend got into the game. While she gets along fine with Rin, Rider and Saber at first, she went on a bit of a rampage from GM favoritism as the abilities stacked up.
Shinji - After the MPreg business, he decided to indulge his fetishes. Unfortunately he just described raping the GM's girlfriend. And he was kicked out right there.
Rider - She came back after some persuasion from the others, and became good friends with Sakura after Shinji was killed off. Without Shinji fucking it all up, she actually got to use her further abilities even.
Kuzuki - Citing boredom and lack of interest, Kuzuki quits.
Caster - After everyone cheered when Archer backstabbed her, Caster permanently left the group
Fake Assassin - New guy read the logs and discovered the amazing amount of rape going around. He is never seen again.
Bazett - Still dead.
Kotomine - Ever since Lancer stabbed him the last time, he rebuilt his priest into some kind of superpowered, unkillable exorcist with Inhuman Everything, killer magic items, Ritual magic. He did mellow out a little since the backlash from the last campaign. He linked his unkillability to the predictable plot device.
Lancer - Well, Kotomine came back and he certainly wasn't about to stick around. So he just died.
Gilgamesh - Never quite learning his lesson after everyone ganged up on him. His attempt at murdering Sakura got the GM to declare that she has mega regeneration and Servant Killing Powers.
Matou Zouken - A seriously bad case of unabashed pervert. He picked up some basic ritual magic and made himself invulnerable. Got kicked from the game after making too many sexual remarks at the GM's girlfriend.
"Ok, I killed all your worms in the house!"
*smuggrin* "I got another one"
"What the fuck, where?"
*smuggrin at GM's girlfriend*
True Assassin - A friend of Zouken's player, he just tagged along. Never really did more than toss a few SoDs around.[/spoiler]
-
That was quite a hilarious read even if I don't know anything about Dresden RPG.
Altough I would say it's more acurate that instead of Sakura being the DM's girlfriend, she was a wolf in sheep's clothing. Aka pretending to just be some weak character, and then out of nowhere enslaving Berseker and Saber and beating the crap out of Gilgamesh the moment he turns his back.
This is, why would the DM favour her so much when she's flirting with Shirou all the time in the third campaign? :p
So the whole thing is half the players trying to outcheese each other, the other half dying/leaving for not being as hardcore, and Shirou somehow surviving with dumb luck and because he was probably a likeable guy in RL that nobody else wanted to kill and was always willing to take hits for you. His willingness to sacrifice himself for other means the DM lets him get away with a lot of crap, including looting Archer's powers in the third campaign with the condition he's dooming himself.

Nah, what really happened is one of the servant character players is a guy who only played dungeons and dragons, and heard about the game second hand. He heard he was doing, like, the ranger class, so he made a two-weapon fighter.

Highlights of the Meguca drama CD 2
Madoka: Huh? Failed?! (note: literally ‘a red mark’) What should I do!? I’ve turned in to an idiot after becoming a Puella Magi!”
Balancing adventuring and a steady school life is hard~
Hitomi: Sayaka-san, Madoka-san, I’ll lend you my notes to you.
Sayaka: Huh?
Hitomi: My important/precious friends are in a bind, I can’t just leave them be.
Madoka: Thank you Hitomi-chan!
Hitomi: And besides, I would like to be fight/compete against my rival equally.
Sayaka: Urg. Forget it; we don’t need your notes!
Madoka: Wha-!
Hitomi: Really? I understand then, but if there’s anything I can help you with don’t hesitate to ask.
Madoka: AH! The notes!
A principle is more important than grades to her huh.
Mami: Please, come in.
Madoka: Thanks for having us.
Homura: Thank you for having us.
Kyouko: Thanks.
Sayaka: Hey, why are you guys here?
Homura: Why? It’s obvious isn’t it? I’m worried about Madoka who failed her test of course.
Madoka: Homura-chan…
Kyouko: And I’m here ‘cause Mami invited me to eat some cake.
Mami: I have some delicious cake, so I thought it might be nice/more fun if everyone came.
Sayaka: Now all five magical girls are here.
Homura: This isn’t so bad of a parallel world.
Cake!
Madoka: Nothing! But you know Mami-san and Homura-chan are so good at studying. I wonder if this means any idiot can be a magical girl.
Kyubey: Can’t say it’s never happened before, there are Magical girls out there who have no head for tactics but just rely only their physical and magical strength to see them through. Though it’s not recommended to fight this way.
Homura: Kyubey, if you say anything more, I will bury you. Madoka, you’re not dumb/stupid.
Who needs brains when you have Baka Power?
Sayaka: But Madoka only just has to try a bit harder and it’s only English. I still have to retake my Math test!
Madoka: Huh? Really, Sayaka-chan?
Kyouko: Oh My God.
Sayaka is an idiot~
Sayaka: That’s it! Homura, you have the ability to stop time during the test right! Wait, don’t tell me…
Homura: Miki Sayaka… I have never even thought that before (ie It’s never occurred to me)
Sayaka: Eh?
Madoka: Sayaka-chan… Homura-chan would never do such a thing.
Homura: To think there’s a person… who would think about stopping time just for a test.
Sayaka: E-everyone thinks about it once right?!
Kyouko: I~ wouldn’t~ know~!
Sayaka: Huh? Really? Only me?! Gah.
Some Hero Of Justice you are, lying, cheating, stealing.
Sayaka: Got it, at least we know it’s a low level familiar that steals girl’s underwear!
Madoka: Maybe it’s hiding itself somewhere.
Kyouko: It might have run away. Moreover, what was it going to do with stolen underwear?
Sayaka: What was it… You seriously don’t know?
Kyouko: I could understand if it was new but someone else already used it. I wouldn’t want it used.
Homura: There lies the value.
Kyouko: I just don’t get it…
Too innocent?
Kyouko: Sayaka, I’ll cover for you.
Sayaka: Thanks Kyouko. Found it. Enemy of women!! Take~ th~
Cat: *meow*
Sayaka: Meow?
Kyouko: Hey did it just meow.
Homura: It did meow.
Meow
Homura: The one that this cat just dropped a moment ago, I believe that it’s Shizuki Hitomi’s.
Madoka: Um, I’ll secretly return it to Hitomi’s house later.
Sayaka: Ah, I’ll hold on to it for her. Hm, I see… So this is… Hitomi’s panty…So she goes around wearing something like this…
What is she planning to do with her rival's pantsu?!
Kyouko: And ya fired a Tiro Finale at a cat. Tiro~ Finale~
Mami: Stop making fun of me already. But I’m so relieved that the kitty managed dodged it.
The poor kitteh.

In current-season anime, watched the first ep of Dantalian no Shoka (sic) and it seems interesting. Gainax work, based on a light novel series.
Commence WMG about that woman at the start. Also, protagonist looks like Graham Aker.
It also looks like basically Card Captor Sakura with books instead of cards (and a British earl instead of a Japanese schoolgirl), but it's too early to quite say for certain.
My guess? Library Girl is Dantalian (*grumble*). Though maybe that's too obvious.

Somewhere out in the multiverse Clow is going "Just as planned".jpg
Altough there's still the question of who's the blonde girl in the begginning. Well CCS had two "familiars" as well, one of which was only fully presented mid-series.
You mean how Card Captor Sakura is a mix of Pokemon and Yu-Gi-Oh? *dodges bricks*
That would be kinda hard considering CCS came out before either of those. *throws another volley of bricks anyway*
-
Don't blame me, blame whoever figured that the best idea was to bring Pokémon, Yu-Gi-Oh and CCS to my country in that order. :P
-
CCS anime first aired on Brasil in 1998, Pokemon anime only in 2002. You probably missed the first and ended up caughting a re-run of the series (they've like repeated it four times in TV where I live). So I still blame you. :p
-
...Wait, how in the flying fuck do you know that?
Also, it depends where it was aired. If the first airing was at Globo, I missed it on the account that I was probably in school at the time.
-
Wikipedia (http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardcaptor_Sakura) has it all. Também ajuda saber a mesma língua base.
Globo is included on the local airing stations, but it doesn't specify wich one was the first to do so.

Didn't you get the memo? Portuguese is the 5th most spoken language in the net!
And that number will just keep growing as portguese-speaking countries out there develop.
Even in the anime and manga communities you can see our numbers swell up! :D
-
Huh. I figure English is somewhere above that. Maybe Chinese too. Which are the other 4?
Also, depends on the anime/manga in question. I doubt there are that many, say, Gundam fans among the Portuguese speakers. (Wing doesn't count!)
-
http://listverse.com/2008/06/26/top-10-most-spoken-languages-in-the-world/
Chinese wins by sheer volume. Apparently we breed like rabbits or something.
-
Stats are slightly different on the net. I imagine a good portion of the "English" stat comes from non-native speakers speaking in a common language.

[spoiler]Although the outcome here is obvious (Asuna wakes up, the Code shuts, and the Ala Rubra PWNs the Lifemaker), there's still quite a bit of aftermath involved (and the story isn't done yet, seeing as Negi still hasn't found Nagi or Arika). That's going to be more interesting to read than the fights IMO.
On the bright side, Chao's plan might come to fruition anyway.[/spoiler]

And... done with Madoka. I am pretty sure I cannot say anything that was not said already, but here is my input anyway:
I heard about the ending's general nature beforehand, and I was worried it might have been a cheap cop-out. It wasn't. It so wasn't.
This is a really great show. Probably makes it into my personal top five.
-
Shame you already had heard about the ending. The suprise effect when I saw it for the first time was priceless.
Out of curiosity, what are your other top 5 shows?
-
The ending was a big worry in the audience at the time, since it was so fucked up resolving it without a copout seemed rather unlikely. They did rather well.
-
Cubey personal top 5. HARD MODE - only one Gainax title allowed.
5. Full Metal Panic! (With Fumoffu and Second Raid)
4. Azumanga Daioh
3. Fullmetal Alchemist - new and old series. Cheating, I know.
2. Gurren Lagann
1. Haruhi Suzumiya (both seasons and the movie, despite the dreaded Endless Eight)
Kinda mainstream but these series are popular for a good reason. I'd put Madoka on either nr 3 or 4 of my new list, with everything below that dropping one position.
-
Anyone can recognize all the mecha references made in the finishers?(somewhat NSFW) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=67F9pYKX_FE&feature=player_detailpage#t=265s)
-
Well, there are some pretty obvious references to Eureka Seven, Cybuster, Gurren Lagann (or anything with big drills, really - there's been a few other mecha like that), funnels and...
Pumpkin? What? How. Why pumpkin? /Nostalgia Critic
EDIT: And Gundam Virtue. So obvious, how did I miss that one? Probably because I didn't see Gundam 00, that's why.
-
Clearly a Touhou Hijack at the end.
-
When you've seen enough anime to recognise VAs, it can be weird.
For instance, there are at least three guys from Gundam 00 in this clip (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eEsSDqD24Fk).
-
But it's Ribbons who should have green hair, not Setsuna!
Seriously though, the Pokemon anime has so many characters, you can find almost every seiyuu in it. Sure, most of them have only cameo appearances, but still.

[spoiler]
That wouldn't make much sense, because we've seen that Asuna's anti-magic struggles against high tier spells. Evangeline could freeze her for some seconds with a minor spell, and then there's the whole "trapped on giant magic sphere thingy" which clearly laughs at her anti-magic.
Of course this means her anti-magic will be powered up to the stratosphere by the power of friendship/love from the other characters.
Cue the fate of the magic world being decided by a fist fight when the "God" proves to be some crazy kung-fu specialist that's hardly hindered by the loss of magic.

There's a 9th level spell in Frostbnurn that freezes a bunch of targets in blocks of ice. It doesn't care about AC and/or deflection bonus. Silly puppets only betting on armor class.
[/spoiler]
[spoiler]This one seems to be a homing freeze laser, in that it has multiple stages.
If it doesn't connect, it fills your surrounding area with ice, which traps you.
If it does connect, it freezes you, your surrounding area AND repeats the process every time.
If it doesn't connect, it also pursues you until it does, with what looks like rose vines made of lightning that turns to ice.
As its homing, it cannot be dodged, or at least, not easily.
It cannot be parried since its both a direct AND environmental attack.
So its basically a Forcecage cum Black Tentacles cum Shivering Touch cum Frostfell with the PF Persistent metamagic and Chaining.
Possible counters would be to negate the effect(with fire magic or antimagic), block line of effect(using earth magic or wood to create a tangible barrier) or simply outrun it(but as the Lightning Fate learned, its as fast as lightning). However, as the effect refreshes itself, you'd need a lasting counter effect, so just plain shooting fire at it won't work, you'd need a fire with a greater duration and presumably at least as hot as the fire spell Chao used.
As for the Asuna matter, shes basically being used to Cancel the whole Magic World there. I figure shes more powerful than has been shown before, but the key thing is our guys here are extreme badasses and it wouldn't take a full cancel to free time. If the effect can be weakened, then they can free themselves.

It might be just me, but Records of ATX has confusingly-drawn fight scenes even by manga standards. So the badassery is diminished for me because I can't clearly see what is going on. Well, sometimes it isn't. DEM SHIP TO SHIP BATTLES. More epic than mecha fights, and you know how I like mecha.
Anyway, I still like this series a lot because I get more insight into details of the setting they had no room to explain in the OG games. Also, hijinks. So much hijinks. Excellen never fails with that, but other characters are great too.

Hey, I remember watching this. Polish episodes in the links are proof.
Two things I remember most distinctly: each post-episode trailer used to call the episode "Z is for <something related to the plot, starting with a Z of course>". They had to get quite creative with that.
Also, the love interest was surprisingly non-useless. Forget the shotgun like in the opening, I remember her brandishing a friggin' Gatling.

[spoiler]Shame the battle with Nagato was cut short. I really expected him to free him self using Naraka to fully resurrect him self and hope for a Naruto/B/Nagato team up against Madara. All well, Kubuto can end Edi Tensei for Itachi and more spotlight to the orange guy.[/spoiler]

[spoiler]Are you talking about the Aizen controlled Central 46 later found murdered calling for execution or post turn about where Ichigo became recognized as a Shinigami Substitute that also happened to save the multiverse?
Also Rukia wasn't very powerful to start with (loses to a traitless random mook) and Ichigo was immediately capable of hurting Gillian class Hollows despite only using her powers. I'm sure things will be DB:GT in no time.[/spoiler]

Meh Bleach
[spoiler]I think the first offence was staying in the Mortal World longer than necessary, and then to transfer her powers to a mortal. And yes that time Central 46 was controlled by Aizen.
Anyway, given how you have 5 Captain-grade donators and 1 Vice-Captain grade donator for Ichigo's revival, I'm not surprised his Getsuga Tenshou to be so overwhelmingly powerful.
Makes me wonder why you don't create super soldiers through this method earlier. And yes DB:GT soon, in fact it went that way previous arc.[/spoiler]

I don't suppose any of you have heard of Katanagatari or Haruouki Shinsengumi Kitan?
I'm only up to episode 2 of either, but DAMN are they awesome.

Moar Bleach
[spoiler]5? Ikkaku, Kenpachi, Toushirou, Byakuya, Renji, and Isshin Kurosaki (http://www.manga-access.com/manga/B/Bleach/chapter/449). At least there is some foreshadowing to this, Isshin planning things (http://www.manga-access.com/manga/B/Bleach/chapter/441/13) and later he is seen carrying it towards those house they are at (http://www.manga-access.com/manga/B/Bleach/chapter/454).
And things were more Buu Saga prior to the nerf. Over the top powered, battling immortals, nukes as fireballs, etc. Things turned for GT when Ichigo got turned into a kid & couldn't use his Super Sayian 3 powers any more. Now after a little major desperation, a bit of shiny thing giving him power, a little fusion, and blammo new powers to fight the bad guy. He even turned so serious and cocky afterwards.[/spoiler]

I like how that anime is simultaneously less and more sophisticated than some of its counterparts. The artstyle seems to lend itself a little more to a child's story (we have people being cut by swords though, so it's not really a kid show). On the other hand, the story is engaging and the characters have a funny collection of personal quirks. Overall, it feels a little more fairy tale-ish than usual, but it's a good kind of fairy tale.

WMG
[spoiler]When the MotB was revealed as Eva's "father", the face that we saw was very different, and Al described him as "imperishable" rather than "immortal". Possible that whoever defeats the current MotB gets to be the next one, possibly with some memory-uploading deal, or something like that.[/spoiler][/spoiler]

They also covered giving energy to humans and finally revealed who is the substitute shinigami that was mentioned around the middle of the arc obviously to explain him popping up later.

Ginjo & Sylar both were BBEGs, both kept their respective series running a bit longer. So why is it the media portrays Blue Mage type people as evil and also relay on them for story expansions?[/spoiler]

[spoiler]Just youtube the characters along with the word vs (ie ichigo vs). No plot asspull jokes, but you'll get the sword porn. Like next manga will have Kenpachi fighting the time guy again. Maybe though some stupid resurrection, despite game guy's inability to heal or prevent damage within his game and time guy's contract is strengthening of power which in no way includes regenerate internal organs, just to cut another notch in the stick. It would be easier to say it is another clone as time guy isn't fighting Captain Bankai yet but that would make too much sense.[/spoiler]

At least it finally ended.
*Toss mind you, wasn't that something he needed natural energy to do? Not for the sheer power, but sage mode's reach and senjitsu augmented energy helped maintain it's form.[/spoiler]

Didn't they have a book that could heal fatal wounds a couple episodes ago? And another that could bring the recently deceased back to life in the other episode? Or maybe he can only use each book's power once?
Quite interesting how they alternate between "Everything will be allright!" and "Rocks fall every new named character dies!"

[spoiler]I noticed. They didn't have enough time to use it in this case.[/spoiler]
[spoiler][strike]There's also the fact that neither had reason to suspect they'd need either book. Why cart a valuable magic book around all the time, much less multiple? It's not exactly weightless, it takes up space, it could get lost or damaged or stolen. In fact, given that Kendrick and his mooks ambushed and tied up Huey and Dalian, if they'd had the books on them you can be sure they'd have been taken, and would now be lying under a pile of rubble that used to be a soundproof room. Most likely, the books not currently in use are hanging out back at the library in Huey's mansion. Or, for a more meta take, in Schrödinger's Hammerspace where Huey and Dalian either have them on them or not, depending on the needs of the plot.[/strike]
I shouldn't post at 3am. Dalian is their hammerspace. Prime's point is the one that stands - when your hands are literally bound and building is collapsing on top of you, you don't have the time for exchanging catch phrases and reading a book to bring the guy back.
I notice that they're now using Japanese suffixes instead of English titles as they did up until now. I'd assume that it was just Kendrick's voice actor, but Huey does it too - if you listen closely, you can hear him calling Christabel "Sistine-jou" instead of "Miss Sistine"[/spoiler]

[spoiler]A. There are probably no Espada left but the little girl. None, gone.
B. Aizen isn't getting out for the next one thousand years and who knows just how much power he lost.
C. The natural Arrancars are weaker than them already.
Aaroniero beaten by a lieutenant with no bankai, Dordoni the foot guy Ichigo didn't have to mask up for, Uryu took out Cirucci and Chad beat on Gantenbainne winning that fight too.
Tite will end up introducing some guy like half-way into the arc that kills him and claim he is a super powerful evil everyone knew of but never mentioned for an undefined reason. The guy's mere existence would debuff any idea of Aizen's belief that he was powerful too and cause you to question why in the hell Uryu or even Super Ichigo couldn't sense him meandering about in the real world as a poor slob worried about the costs of destroying a building. ... Oh, wait o.o

Those zombies were awfully patient, apparently just standing in one spot while all the drama was going on.
I wanna know what exactly that book of Epic Turning was. Did Madoka Dantalian Unnamed Library Girl write it? Did Huey write it?
The reading scene:
- Children playing on a beach at night, a biplane flies past.
- An old woman and two children sitting by the fire - the moon is visible, so they're possibly the same children.
- Dalian and an old man in what appears to be her book room; the latter is presumably Wesley Disward. Closeup of his hands on his cane - are those patterns similar to Dalian's lock or am I overthinking things?
- Dalian at a weird angle - I think she's leaving a wreath at a gravestone.
- Dalian on a battlefield with someone who appears to be friggin' Joan of Arc. Previous keykeeper?
- Dalian staring, cutting to Dalian looking down (in both senses of the word).
- Dantalian and another pink-haired girl prancing around in togas, with Greco-Roman architecture in the background. Closeup on Dantalian's face.
- Dantalian trying to stop the minotaur from passing, surrounded by flames. Possibly related to the library's warden
- Dantalian opens a box, and shadows come out. Outside, pink light blasts into the sky.
- (Dantalian/Huey dialogue)
- A woman in white with silver hair and blue eyes looking out on a futuristic city with a strange expression. Flam?

Oh, and given that DnS is pretty episodic, the block of stories it adapted wasn't continuous. Presumably some will be adapted in season 2, but it also makes that novel translation more interesting...

[spoiler]
I wanna know what exactly that book of Epic Turning was. Did Madoka Dantalian Unnamed Library Girl write it? Did Huey write it?
If you look at the text closely, it's the same as the lyrics to the OP song.
I think the implication is that it's Huey's book, but it's not necessarily written by Huey. Episode 11 does indicate that he can use incomplete Phantom Books.
Dalian and an old man in what appears to be her book room; the latter is presumably Wesley Disward. Closeup of his hands on his cane - are those patterns similar to Dalian's lock or am I overthinking things?
Almost certaily Wes. I didn't notice anything special about his cane while watching; you're probably overthinking.
Dalian on a battlefield with someone who appears to be friggin' Joan of Arc. Previous keykeeper?
Most likely. First Madoka, now Dantalian. A new trendsetter for Beethoven Was An Alien Spy?
Dantalian and another pink-haired girl prancing around in togas, with Greco-Roman architecture in the background. Closeup on Dantalian's face.
Dantalian trying to stop the minotaur from passing, surrounded by flames. Possibly related to the library's warden
Dantalian opens a box, and shadows come out. Outside, pink light blasts into the sky.
The latter two seem to be callbacks to specific Greek myths to me. The minotaur is obvious, and is very likely also the Library's warden (ironic that the Minotaur is the warden rather than the prisoner). The box reminds me of Pandora, and the "evils" it released may well be what causes Phantom Books to be created.
A woman in white with silver hair and blue eyes looking out on a futuristic city with a strange expression. Flam?
I thought she looked like Dantalian at first, in retrospect I'm not sure why I thought that. Might be Flam, yeah.

F/SN tells you in very broad detail the results of F/Z (only two Masters/Servants are described at all), with outright misleading information and events which seem inexplicable out of context; reading them in the order they were written makes you curious about Zero's cast, while starting with the prequel just throws Shirou at you out of nowhere. (urgh :p) F/Z gives far more spoilers on things all over F/SN's plot. Plus there's power creep, so reading it first would make F/SN seem a little underwhelming.

My bet's on that being Huey's own phantom book, somehow pulled from the future because it's his own work, kinda how Rin in Fate/Stay night could pull a servant from the future because she was directly connected to Archer.
One detail you seem to have missed it's that the woman looking at the futuristic city then turns and smiles. So my bet's on that being Dantalian all grown up after having been released from library duty, and she's smiling at Huey.

(urgh :p) F/Z gives far more spoilers on things all over F/SN's plot. Plus there's power creep, so reading it first would make F/SN seem a little underwhelming.
Also, F/Z has several things that are just plain inconsistencies with FSN, so you really aren't going to get entirely spoiled.

Prisma Ilya 2wei 17 (https://suimasenscans.wordpress.com/2011/10/03/sometimes-a-kiss-is-just-a-kiss-fk-2wei-17/)
[spoiler]Prana running out. Refill please.[/spoiler]
[spoiler]
One can only wonder why Rin never mentioned they could refill Saber that way back on Fate/Stay night.
[/spoiler]
[spoiler]Shirou is probably too terrible at magic :P
Though given Ilya's reaction I'm guessing the 'more efficient' transfer methods still work even in the more comedic universe of Prisma Ilya[/spoiler]

Just out of the top of my head:
[spoiler]
Archer at full strenght gets made into mincemeat by berseker on route 1. When berseker gets pumped out to eleven in route 3 by corrupted grail power, he's hardly a speed bump against brain-damaged Shirou.
First route the priest is some kind of dark magician that ends up defeated in melee. Last route priest is some crazy knive-fighter that can take on servants head on in martial combat.
Why doesn't Shirou just uses Rule Breaker to rescue corrupted Saber in route 3?
Saber, King of knights, master swordswoman with supernatural battle instincts, get defeated in a pure blade fight by caster 2 out of 3 times. Caster that can't even defend against basic martial arts skills.
Gilgamesh walks around with his pimped armor in route 1 that can block heavy magic and even direct blows from non-ultimate excalibur. It is never used again in the other routes despite suposedly being instant-summon.

[/spoiler]
[spoiler]Archer wasn't at full strength in route 1; Unlimited Blade Works is the only route where Saber doesn't practically cut him in half at the start of the story. It's unclear if Dark Berserker was actually stronger than the original (for one thing he was blind), plus Shirou was seriously overclocking himself, shouting "no, [Archer,] you need to keep up with me!".
People keep bringing up "Gilgamesh's armor blocks anything." I have never seen a line in-game or in supplemental materials which suggests this. That said, it was only in Fate that he thought he was fighting a worthy opponent/wanted to look nice for his waifu. You dare suggest that the King expend even the slightest effort to display his magnificent armor to mongrels?
As for Kirei, uh... he was taken by surprise in Fate, and fighting the weakest Servant in HF? Yeah, still seems weird.[/spoiler]
-
Stats page for black berserker looks the same.
What's really inconsistent is that all traced weapons get ranked down. Berserker needs a weapon A rank or higher to stab. Archer can get by it by a broken phantasm rankup.
Shirou, on the other hand, has no reason for a degraded caliburn to magically regain a rank.
-
[spoiler]
Archer doesn't get cut up almost in half in route 2 because it's the only route where Shirou manages to tell Saber to stop on time. That's actually what activates the whole 2nd route!
Gilgamesh's imba armor is fully suported by the game, since he can just stand there and let Saber hit him whitout dodging and he doesn't take any damage (at least for a time, it's sugested Saber would eventually break trough). Illya (aka Holy Grail conduit) blasts him directly and it just bounces off from the armor.
Plus hey, what's the use of being king if you don't/can't show off your pimped gold armor to mongrels? :P
Also TML reminds me of another great incosistency, that route 1 Shirou can just chop off Berseker's arm with Calliburn when Excalibur wielded by Saber didn't even scratch his skin.
[/spoiler]
-
^^
Its how much prana you jammed into the sword I guess.
-
Can we go back to spoiler tags? :bigeye
Fate/stay night
[spoiler]Excalibur isn't a "cut stuff" NP, it's a "blast stuff" NP; Saber does most of her cutting with Invisible Air, which is Rank C. Caliburn is for cutting stuff, is high-rank, and gets stronger when Saber uses it. Plus Saber couldn't fire Excalibur at full power either (not enough mana); when she could in the other routes, Berserker was no match for her.
EDIT: It seems this (http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=auto&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fblog.livedoor.jp%2Fhumanity6%2Farchives%2F50886780.html) was the source of Gil's armor properties. The Type-Moon wiki is ambiguous on whether the armor can stop magic on its own or if that's in conjunction with a magic shield.[/spoiler]
EDIT: Ika Musume 2, ep2
[spoiler]Most of the "squid powers" so far sort-of made sense, but Ika can change her weight to anything between 0.5 grams and 20 tonnes? What. :twitch
What's more, it looks like this was invented to make the physics of the series more realistic. :psyduck[/spoiler]
-
It's been out for years.
Also, caliburn is lower rank, on account of being partially decorative rather than functional.

And yet the percentage of users here who've seen it is pretty low. Heck, at least half have probably never even heard of it.
-

Also, caliburn is lower rank, on account of being partially decorative rather than functional.
Role matters though. A beam weapon is less effective when you're basically using it as a bayonet, compared to a lightsaber used the same way. Remember, rankings are differentiated. Berserker's armor counts ATTACK rank, Noble Phantasms are ranked by overall power.
Using Enuma Elish as a melee weapon isn't going to get you very far despite its epic ranking.
[spoiler]
Saber mostly attacked with Invisible Air, which is firstly for concealment rather than combat, its not a good weapon.
Excalibur is a great weapon, but its role is a prana-to-explosion convertor. Without prana its a pretty good sword, but not worth its full ranking. Its blast however, especially at the impact point, is higher rank than its own.
Caliburn is ornamental, but its designed fundamentally as a slashing weapon. It makes a better melee weapon than Excalibur, but overall weaker.
Gae Bolg is a thrown weapon, as a melee weapon its not so hot, despite its overall rank.
Enuma Elish is a beam weapon, I imagine if Gilgamesh could stab Shirou with it through Kanshou and Bakuya instead of spending time charging its lasor he would have.
[/spoiler]
-
You're seriously arguing that SABER, the goddamn swordplay specialist, doesn't have any slashing-focused weapon by default, and even a purely ornamental sword will do a better job at cuting stuff than her noble phantasms? :banghead
-

[spoiler]Invisible Air is a slashing weapon which she uses by default. It's very useful, what with being invisible and having ranged-attack and barrier functions, just not high-rank enough to use on Berserker. Note that just Invisible Air would have killed Assassin instantly if it had made contact.
And again, rank =/= power. Rin's gems were A-rank by human standards, so a handful of them could kill Berserker once. It was stated that Berserker could tank a planetbuster if it was B-rank or lower.
Yeah, this is pretty much Nasu saying "God Hand does whatever I want it to." :p[/spoiler]
-
^^
[spoiler]As a bonus, if Rin had blown 10 gems on the attack instead of 5, she might actually have killed Berserker more than once as Ilya said. So God Hand is just a minimum energy threshold and it doesn't take more effort after that.
Saber is extremely good with the sword, most of her power comes from skill, backed with a nuke when skill doesn't matter. However, she is weaker out of the box, since Caliburn was broken and lost(presumably if you dug up Caliburn you could summon her with it instead of Avalon), as was Avalon. So depending on the focus you used she could be attack or defense oriented.
Plus again, her abilities are hideously power consuming, she expends significant amounts to enhance herself physically, and finally, Excalibur is the most energy consuming NP there is. Shirou is basically the worst Master she could hope for, since hes a mana supply with a melee spec and no mount for her to use her Riding with(unless she wants a bicycle).
Finally, the Class Saber is oriented towards a Servant associated with the sword, while it does imply a certain minimum of sword skill, it only means her legend is linked to a blade. Archer doesn't use a bow much and Rider spends most of her time using her monstrous strength, agility and melee weapons.[/spoiler]

[spoiler]
tier 6
-Kung-Fu Teacher, has some cute tricks, but whitout extreme magic backup just doesn't have the numbers to do anything.
tier 5
-Saber (whitout splatbook items), can't really produce her own equipment besides her ancestral relic, needs mages backing her up to do really anything. Her only saving grace is her awesome nukes, but 1/day really doesn't cut it.
tier 4
-Lancer, save or die would be quite nice, if immunity to instant-death effects wasn't so darn common!
-Rider, quite versatile and can pack quite a punch if you catch your oponent by suprise, but somewhat lacking in raw power.
tier 3
-Berseker, extremely tough to take down whitout Archer shenigans and hits back hard too, overall quite balanced!
-Caster, can melee better than Saber, teleport is quite handy, but if you're trying to blast with her you're doing it wrong, even inside your personal domain.
-Assassin, super stealth is so cheesy, and can actually kill stuff in martial combat whitout magic weapons! However that lack of magic weapons also ends up stoping it from raising another tier.
tier 2
-Archer. Tecnically you only have one Noble Phantasm, but then you just pick Replicate Noble Phantasm and go to town by literally drowning your oponent in magic weapons!
-Saber(with splatbook items)-The supplements of Avalon and Caliburn were basically a godsend for this class, bringing it all the way from tier 5 to here, as now she can actualy engage in melee combat and win whitout heavy caster backup. Wait, she needs a caster to unlock those weapons, but still, at least she can melee better than Caster now!
tier 1
-Shirou-After people complaining in the previous edition that this class could only cook and play buffbot, the designers filled it with so many self-buffs that it's just plain sick. You can replicate even more noble phantasms than Archer, melee better than Saber (and can also copy her unique nukes and Avalon, something that even normal Archers can't do), graft yourself with pieces from defeated enemies, plus the infamous cookmancer build to make an harem out of your oponents

[spoiler]Bald Guy earned a new title, "luckiest man in geotei 13", just in time to beat his opponent.
Stated fact his blows lose power for consecutive hits to a point where Baldy didn't even budge from an attack. One comic ago even a silent delay allowed for continually breaking trees, shoulders, and even Soul Slayers. So now we'll just overlook the punch to the chest and blood spilling everywhere (aka not a luck-less hit at all) thanks to Baldy's natural luck being better than a dedicated power. Right...[/spoiler]

For the record, in Japanese he ends his sentences in "-kuma", which means bear. That's why they translated it into bear puns. Doesn't make me want to murder the thing any less though.

Actually, Megaten in general is usually about aiding Satan in his battles against God, because God is repressive and anal-retentive whereas Satan is chaotic but creative.

Now on a more unusual question about Macross Frontier. I tried watching it once and, well, I quit around the 5th episode because it was just too much harem for very little mecha action. But
[spoiler]
I recently heard that the last episode is suposed to be some big badass mecha-fleet battle. Will I be losing anything important if I just jump to the last episode for the mecha combat goodyness?
[/spoiler]

[spoiler]Before it was available via superior firepower... maybe. But now they can just do it diplomatically. Like, really easily.[/spoiler]
Macross Frontier:
It's not a harem, it's a love triangle because there are only two girls and one guy. I agree though that the first eps are kinda slow on the action.
It gets better, oh yes it does. I can think of at least three episodes that are too awesome to skip if you just move to the last ep. So I suggest watching instead.

I've never understood the concept of spoilers. I dont see how knowing something in advance, can ruin something for you. Its like claiming that knowing how a magic trick is done, ruins it for you. Why? Now not only can you now appreciate the spectacle but now you can also admire its craftsmanship. I also dont think spoilers really exist. Even with a basic understanding of story structure, and fiction tropes, you can accurately read 'script', and know what's going to happen. This wont prevent you being surprised either, or make you not enjoy the show.
They also make threads like this annoying as well.

Fate/stay Zero 3
[spoiler]
Seeing Saber with a suit, I can now perfectly imagine how she could pretend to be a male bishonen for around a century. Still doesn't explain why the king of England that admits to have sacrificed his own villages for tactical advantage is so naturally submissive!
Still dunno what to think about Rider. In one hand geting B2 bombers and tomahawk cruise missiles would be an excellent tactic for a flawless victory by just razing the city, on the other hand Alexander the Great is also renowed for having drunk himself to death in his early twenties, so when you see him already starting to grab bottles then your fate doesn't look very promising. :P

Gundam AGE 2
[spoiler]Most relaxed colony-busting I've ever seen.
I smell conspiracy...
A self-evolving Gundam that learns from its enemies' abilities? With that and the intro claiming this war will last 100 years, I get the feeling Gundam AGE will be one of the more high-powered series by the end.
"This is no ordinary rifle! It makes the projectile spin!"
What.
And I agree with whoever said that Frit's pilot suit looks like Megaman.[/spoiler]
EDIT: Shinryaku! Ika Musume II 4
An... interesting episode, with everyone speaking English - some are obviously different VAs, with others it's less clear. From some of the lines, it seems the creators of the show have been reading English fansubs. :twitch
-
Gundam AGE
[spoiler]So, the AGE system is Devil Gundam, huh.
We have Jamil and Chinese Loli Tiffa. Not to mention a main character who is both a kid and likeable. This is Gundam X now.
Wanna bet the UE are reverse Char, trying to force humanity BACK to Earth? Also Yurin is probably one of them, but that shouldn't surprise anyone by now.
I like the new beam rifle and the sound it makes when firing.[/spoiler]

Naruto
[spoiler]Sharigan + 1 = Mangakou, +1 more = Eternal version, +1 fracken more = +Rinnigan.
Srsly the plot eyes suck. Kinda glad Naruto is out of nine-tails mode maybe this fight will last longer than the refight with Nagato. Also, Summon Comet is one hell of a ninjitsu.[/spoiler]
Bleach
[spoiler]About time Captain Pride gets a run for his money. Right now, things were about techniques and not curb stomping the other guy with your power level. Kinda nice. Possibly the best fight during this series given that Ichigo's will undoubtedly be "RAWRRR Kamehameha ouch that hurt ok I'm really dedicated now" thing.[/spoiler]

Fairy Tail
[spoiler]Ah, I wished he had made a few more before returning the cast. Would have been better.[/spoiler]
Bleach:
[spoiler]I'm tired of Rukia getting pwnd. Very tired.[/spoiler]
Naruto:
[spoiler]More eyeballs. I'm starting to believe that Kishimoto have a serious case of the Rule 34 about eyeballs and he's somewhat subtle with his fetish.[/spoiler]

Guilty Crown 2
[spoiler]The Power of Kings is explained. Now the question is, what's the correlation between a Void and the person you pull it out of... So far: Inori gives us a big badass sword (though the sample size is too small yet to declare how many things it cannot cut, if any). The Complete Monster bishie gives a refracting barrier.
So Funeral Parlor are Darwinists. Good Darwinists or evil Darwinists? The way the tone of the show seems to be shaping up, I'd personally go with ambiguous.
Poor Shu, he actually thought he'd get out of the plot after only two episodes.[/spoiler]
EDIT: Persona4 3
[spoiler]Chie's Persona is introduced. IIV is a rather wird way of writing 3 with Roman numerals (should be III), but in any case it's the Empress, which is... kind of weird, in Chie's hands of all people. Also, it seems like they're going for one new Persona per episode. I thought maybe Yukiko and Chie would both get Personas in this episode, but I guess Yukiko is for next week?
More importantly, so Izanagi can change forms based on new 'bonds' Narukami makes with people, huh? Should get interesting. I don't see a lot of correlation between Jack Lantern here and either Chie or Yosuke, though...[/spoiler]
-
Persona 4 - note I didn't watch this yet
[spoiler]Not too surprised considering the original game's pacing - we got Yosuke and Chie almost back-to-back as Persona users. But...
Empress? What? Tomoe was Chariot originally, which fits Chie much better. Can you double-check this?
Izanagi doesn't change forms, it's just that the protagonist can have more than one Persona and switch between them.[/spoiler]

[spoiler]Appears that everyone has a Void based on personality. So the Kaleidoscope (odd that the nickname he has is indicative of who he is as a Void weapon as well) is a spoiled brat living in his own protected sphere. And I wonder how they figured out that when a person's Void is extracted, that person is effectively helpless. And since there are 2 more Void Genomes running around, maybe Gai can get a shot of it later.[/spoiler]

EDIT: Agita, what's the term they use?[/spoiler]
[spoiler]They haven't called it anything yet. If it's Chariot in the original, I guess they just messed up with the facing of the card, since it's IIV, which is normally invalid and would be 3, but comes out as 7 if reversed. The Chariot does fit her a lot better.[/spoiler]

Negima.
[spoiler]Mana's backstory does seem similar to Emiya Shirou's (http://www.mangafox.com/manga/mahou_sensei_negima/v37/c341/8.html)

Negima
[spoiler]Eva: Setsuna, you...your delusions develop just like my Chachamaru's
Also, ouch.[/spoiler]

Negima
[spoiler]
So Setsuna's a royaltycon? She seems quite submissive to the princess of darkness on top of the other two princesses on the class.
[/spoiler]
Also finished watching Macross Frontier
[spoiler]
Cubey was right, there's some awesome battle scenes later on, but damn did the animators repeat the vajra animations every couple episodes!
Most memorable moments
Ranka: I-I can't fight sing anymore!
Sheryl: Women up you crybaby! *Bright Slap* Now go out there and fight sing!
Clan Lang: KIDNEY LOVE PUNCH! Now kiss me you fool!
Mikhail: Oh gods the crunching pain! I hope it doesn't numb down my reflexes as we're being swarmed by Vajra! *gets impaled some seconds later*
Clan Lang: Wait, what do you mean physically injuring our love interest can produce negative effects?
Shirei:
Sheryl: I-I can't fight sing anymore!
Ranka: Women up you crybaby! * Transdimensional Bright Slap* Now go out there and fight sing!
[/spoiler]

Negima
[spoiler]Well, Nobility-con maybe. But Konoka is her Special Princess.[/spoiler]
-
Negima
[spoiler]So Setsuna isn't gay, she's just a regiphile? In her fantasy I swear Konoka is cosplaying Irisviel.
And one day, this pen will control both worlds!
Oh Paru...
Eva has the best expressions. And apparently she gained a level in sadist.
This is rather enjoyable in its own way.
[/spoiler]
-
Negima
[spoiler]
Well, in her fantasy, Setsuna is cosplaying as Suit Saber from the last Fate/Zero episode. Guess the girls are keeping up on their animes!
[/spoiler]
-
Negima
[spoiler]Just sleep with Konoka already, you stupid bird.
And yes, DAT EVANGELINE. In general Setsuna got trolled hard this chapter. Also gotta love how Sayo is just Asakura's shoulder pet by now.[/spoiler]
-
Negima
[spoiler]Yay more Secchan love. Or, rather, more of her being a lovable ditz. Either way, I'm fine with it.
Also, nice to see that Konoka is studying properly for her goal.
And lol Eva.[/spoiler]

Persona 4 ep 3
[spoiler]
Holy crap! MC can swap Personas... I got completely offguard here, thinking he would stick with Izanagi until the end...
But Jack o' Lantern/Pyro Jack isn't that awesome :rollseyes
And I liked Yukiko's invitation (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ywFRxm4Rvc) from the game more... even if only for the fanservice :smirk
I am actually liking the way the anime is presenting us with the thoughts of the people in the "other dimension"... in game we could only hear it... actually seeing what they mean is a lot better...
[/spoiler]
EDIT: Persona4 3
[spoiler]Chie's Persona is introduced.

[spoiler]Yeah... Chie represents Chariot. The card was just messed up.
And the MC doesn't change Izanagi into something else... he summons another entirely different Persona from within...
For the next episode, if MC summons someone from Chariot Arcana, I hope it's Eligor (http://lparchive.org/Shin-Megami-Tensei-II/Update%2025/26-Eligor.jpg) or Ares... most of the Personae from the Chariot Arcana are quite ugly :rollseyes

[spoiler]Overall, it looks to me like the matter is being treated fairly neutrally. Gödel the megalomaniac lists the good points, Setsuna the worrywart lists the disadvantages.

Evangeline seems to have retrained her Alice side in Cirno. Did anyone ever see her puppet again?

Disadvantages? Gimme a freaking break! He walks out in the sun just fine! Heck he can turn into a living sun! Nobody could notice anything wrong with him until he was cut in half and instantly healed!
Shota body? A small pill and he becomes your standard teenager bishonen no problem! It has no freaking disadvantages whatsoever!
Seriously this is one of the worst moments I ever seen in manga. Worst than the whole freaking Bleach Aizen arc.

[spoiler]Personally its looking to be very likely the personal tragedy Chao was hoping to avert. He might come to regret things a century down the line, but the current him will push on through. Archer/Shirou scenario.
And he obviously can eventually have kids, Akamatsu won't paradox Chao out of the equation like that would he? Plus hes the descendant of the Lifemaker, such a thing would only involve More Science! Like how he Scienced Chachamaru a soul.
So people who'd be perfectly fine with an eternal shota Negi:
-Eva, someone physically her physical age and similarly eternal? Both capable of shapechanging. Fun!
-Chachamaru, Threesome yay!
-Ayakam that goddamn shotacon.

[spoiler]Cuts-Into-your-Past guy cannot shove him self into your immediate past. Aizen as as "soon" as he can go. Captain Pride developed a new technique during the time skip and Cuts doesn't know it.
It's the most logical answer, so let's see how far off the bead Kite does things. Like Pride ignores his damage range and slices the crap out of him self or w/e (nobody dies in bleach!).[/spoiler]

[spoiler]Oh for fuck's sake. You know how Goblins gets away with cutting away? The run with a group for weeks (months!) and wrap things up like a season break. Tite is running this fight like an ADHD kid on a mix of Redbull and Speed. And it wouldn't be a DBZ knock off unless someone else figured out how to shoot a big wave of energy like the hero![/spoiler]
Naruto
[spoiler]Haxxor! Mega-plot-eyes + cheater-eyes + I-can-steal-bloodlines-eat-my-wood-magic + my summon is the nine tails. And he knows and exploits the fact he don't need contingency(teleport after casting locate city). Still pretty fascinating though.

One Piece has been more linear than Naruto. Sail into the sea to look for the titular One Piece.
Luffy is still doing what he set himself to achieve way back in the first chapter. He just stops here and there to upgrade his ship and crew and deal with the current bad organization that's preventing him from upgrading his ship and crew. Right now
[spoiler]
He went into fishman island because it was in his original route, and he cannot leave untill he deals with the fishman.
[/spoiler]
Heck, from a campaign point of view, One Piece is a massive railroad where despite you tecnically being in the open sea, you need to follow a pre-determined route from island A to B to C to D and so on with the ocasional side quest and secret location before geting back in the rails.

Force
[spoiler]Well, it looks like they're giving a pretext for a reunion of Riot 6(see Teana going to pick up her new BFG). As for Tanuki Hayate, she tends to be depicted as one fairly often, Fate IIRC tends to turn up as a puppy(cute abandoned puppy), Nanoha as a bunny. Not sure the origin of that though.
ViVid, I think, would be set during Nanoha's forced vacation(after the damage she did to herself with Blaster 3 in the StrikerS finale), so I guess she was off the force for maybe 2-3 years to heal.[/spoiler]
