Anime Discussions?
Hunter.:
Any weeaboos here in GoIO? Here's some stuff about me, feel free to copy paste this as a template or add more questions!
First anime: Dragonball Z (aired on tv for me when I had never heard of anime as a kid!)
Favourite anime of all time: Oban Star Racers
Favourite anime this season: Brynhildr in the Darkness/Black Bullet/No Game No Life.. Please don't make me choose, was hard enough narrowing it down to this!
Favourite anime last season: Log Horizon, hands down (2nd place would be a tough call though!)
Anime you secretly enjoy(ed): Recently, my sister is unusual
Most hated antagonist: The as of yet unnamed guy (I believe) from Gokukoku No Brynhildr (Brynhildr in the Darkness) I really want to know his name so I can put him in the Death Note book...
Most loved protagonist: Shiro (Log Horizon) is the Sherlock of anime.. always 50 steps ahead, but not ridiculously intelligent/ahead of everyone as Shiro/Sora from No Game No Life!
Favourite relationship: KiritoXAsuna :O SO KAWAII!
Waifu: Chocolat from NOUCOMe
Over-rated anime: Naruto
Under-rated anime: Bodacious Space Pirates needs way more love!
Personal anime fact: I have watched every episode of Dragonball, Dragonball Z, Dragonball GT and the abridged series.. still have to watch the movies for completeness but I don't want to kill myself from how bad they are..
Interested to see the opinions of others! Took me a while to think all of those through and decide!

-I've logged more hours watching anime since 07 than most people have their entire lives. To the point now I can tell a good show from a bad show by the first episode or two. Also how the show will likely end and who the lead romantic interest will be. Genres I didn't originally like, I now find interest in. But what many people see as the pillars of anime and as the greatest shows of all time, I cannot stand. EVA and Code Geass. Shows which butcher character development or run around in circles of psychosis and never get anywhere. Then my recent most hated genre being all female cast animes. Space Pirates, Symphogear...etc. For the last couple of years Japan has been doing a summer of anime with only female actors. The shows end up being horrifically predictable and rampant kawaii fests to rake in money. These ruined the Last Exile sequel and turned shows from good potential into moronic story like Space Pirates.
Imagine:
First anime: Bubblegum Crisis Tokyo 2040, but didn't get into anime until FLCL
Favourite anime of all time: Steins;Gate
Favourite anime this season: Haven't been able to watch any this season yet, but I have No Game No Life and Mekakucity Actors on my list to watch
Favourite anime last season: Noragami
Anime you secretly enjoy(ed): The Hentai Price and the Stony Cat
Most hated character (changed this one up): Everyone from Oriemo, but especially Kirino.
Most loved protagonist: Probably too many to choose from, but for right now Rintaro Okabe because deluded self-proclaimed mad scientist is too good to pass up.
Favourite relationship: Koyomi Araragi and Hitagi Senjougahara (Monogatari series)
Waifu: I don't... I don't do that creepy waifu stuff.
Over-rated anime: Death Note, because the 2nd half sucked, and the ending just heaped the shit on.
Under-rated anime: There's about a million that I could list here... I dunno, Noein probably?
Personal anime fact: I've been to several anime conventions and once dabbled in making AMVs. My anime watching has slowed a lot in the past few years due to taking up streaming on a more regular basis, but for several years there I watched a plethora them. Even did some reviews for a couple of different anime websites.

Sword art was a damn good anime.. and I'm pumped for Phantom Bullet after reading the novel! I look forward to Seki-kun every week, I didn't really like Heathcliff.. I would of liked him more had they have hinted at him being the bad guy as opposed to "SUDDENLY HE IS THE CREATOR!". WHY MUST YOU REMIND ME OF SACHI! I've been looking to watch Evangelion, is it not good at all or just worse than everyone says? Also I cannot resist the kawaii :(

Everything this season is good and very unique/original.. so far everything I've seen except Dragon Collection and HEROBANK are must watch series', Dragon Collection is okay but HEROBANK is shockingly bad. I WONDER what is included in The Hentai Price and the Stony Cat. Koyomi sounds like a really cool character from your description, might give it a watch! WAIFUS ARE NOT CREEPY! ^^ And that's pretty cool, any favourite AMV's?

I ended up liking Hentai Prince/Stony Cat because on the surface it was a fluff anime, especially for the first half or so, pretty stereotypical characters and just a thread of a story to go by, and then suddenly the story took this incredibly poignant turn that I did not see coming... kinda like the first season of Chuunibyou in that respect.
Errr... I didn't really give Koyomi Araragi a description (but you should watch Bakemonogatari and the rest of that series anyways). I did give Okabe a description, that's from Steins;Gate, which I automatically recommend to everyone.
I personally find the concept of waifus creepy because most anime girls are quite underaged... I suppose it's one thing if you're still young but at my age? Yeah, not so much.
As for AMVs, pretty much anything by Nostromoro... in specific https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nMiuN8ULd_c or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jhMmgt9xh6U
