First look at the fall anime seasonFollow

While the ED was fairly bad, OP for Mirai Nikki is decent, and is a good display of of the insanity present in Yuno.

That's because Ali Project performed a lot of the music for .hack//roots, and Yousei Teikoku (who performed the Mirai Nikki OP) is very much the same kind of sound. At first I thought it was Ali Project.

LOL. The OP has so much Yuno love that it's scary.

Haven't seen it yet. Should I?

First episode of Last Exile was subbed today, so check it out!

Also, the ending of Mirai Nikki bugs me because Spoilerthe 9th and 10th are shown out of order.

I'm not really digging the direction of Persona 4 so much. Thus far the big shadows have been Spoilerinner reflections of the person they refuse to admit exist. And how do they stop the shadows? Not by killing them... by accepting them, and thus they become personas. Totally lame. So far it implies all shadows are just parts of ourselves we can't accept. Totally a weaker plot than Persona 3, where Personae were innate and shadows were released by a company who messed with the fabric of reality.

On the plus side, it seems like the series should last a while; after three episodes we're only like halfway through the first month in the series. So it might get better.

What abilities were you wondering about?

The Archer class (as in anyone summoned as Archer) gets an ability called "Independent Action." Independent Action allows Archer to survive without a master for a certain length of time. How long will depend on their rank in the skill, and the maximum possible is ~2 days. What that usually translates to is that Archers can be hard to control and not necessarily loyal if they don't see eye to eye with their Master's goals.

Saber's using an ability of her own called Invisible Wind because her actual sheath for the sword was lost. It's an ability that THAT specific Saber has because of who she is, not because of the class she was summoned to.

So you probably need the Type-Moon wiki to sift through. I linked to the Servant page for you.

Oh, if it wasn't obvious, THERE'S A LOT OF SPOILERS on that page. Don't scroll too fast if you are spoilerphobic.

Man, I snatched Fate/Zero because it sounded interesting from you guys talking about it. It seems pretty good, so thanks.

You can't be watching anime.

Last Exile, Mirai Nikki, and Fate/Zero haven't disappointed me yet.
I found Boku wa Tomdachi to be very amusing, but that might just be me.
Guilty Crown is nothing special, but it's got some decent music.
Ben-to and C3 are mediocre, but watchable.
Phi Brain is just... apparently puzzles kill people, not sure how I even ended up watching this show.

Also, that penguin hat is totally Momoka reborn.


There are many more shows that I'm watching, but don't really care to mention them unless someone else makes a comment about those other series.

Thanks for the heads up Xypin, I'll be checking it out. I seen enough Fate to not be lost on the "You lost me" jokes.
