so anime logic of the day.

Kirio from Magical battle festa.
I must find out if I am strong enough to protect the girl I love. So I'm going to beat up the girl I love to see if I have the power to protect her.

*slow clap*

Anyway, I'm hearing tons of buzz over Tokyo Ghoul... any good?

First season=full season of shinji ikari with no eva. very ignorable.
second season=shinji ikari in the eva and cannot leave and slowly going bat shizzle.

>TFW implying Shinji wasn't Bat Shizzle to begin with

I'm honestly unsure whether that sounds interesting, or like a pile of powder monkey dung...

Well season 2 of durara or on at the same time. So Just ignore it for by far superior animu.

I might give it a shot.  I gave SAO a shot, and it wasn't blasphemously horrible, so this can't be too bad.

From what I can determine, though, Vampire + Freaky Tentacles Sprouting From Back = Ghoul.

Barring the vampire part (think more like yoma from claymore), pretty much but much dumber. As in Japanese writers don't understand a thing called logistics.

A race of creatures that survives ONLY on human flesh? Huuuge logistical problem there and that ruins an important part of story telling. Suspension of disbelief.

I mean I can believe in vampires as a creature because they drink blood. Blood from anything but ideally human as they were themselves human, and the act of drinking blood is regaining life essence to continue living. Where in some vampire lore to drink blood is to drink the soul (hence when a person is bitten they become vampires which are soulless beings).

etc. etc.

A good creature holds great logistics in how it exists in the given universe and thus an audience can suspend the disbelief in their existence.

Classic ghouls were first vampire underlings. Like mid way zombies. In modernised lore they're mutated cannibals (think gollum) made from generations of inbreeding and consumption of human flesh.

Whatever you do don't watch Rosario + Vampire...never have I seen a more generic, predictable, boring show in all my life. I know people love it and rave about it. I gave it quite a few episodes before I just refused to watch anymore. It is an amalgamation of every trope, cliche, and rehashed anime storytelling line that has ever been made.

I don't watch a lot of anime, but I just finished Parasyte: The Maxim. It was tense and cool and I loved it.  To cool off, though, I watched all of Donyatsu! in one sitting.

Parasyte gets an 8/10 but Donyatsu! easily gets a 10/10

Last season has some of the worst endings ever. Parasyte was probably one of the only few that actually stayed good and ended good. Saekano was another. Cross Ange, I'd give partial credit to. Garo...so-so. Course Garo everyone was pissed at what happened with Lara. You see her in the closing scenes like she'd be a prominent character but then they did the opposite.

Besides Reconguista...Absolute Duo, Fafner, Dog Days 3, and a few others were just horrible. Some of them started good but just fell apart at the end. The most disappointing of all was Yoru no Yatterman. It was such a brilliant show where the good guys became bad guys and the bad guys had to fight the good guys to save everyone. But the ending...ugg. Between reusing animation shots to just poor writing. It was like the entire series had fantastic writers but then the ending they ran out of money and hired some hick off the street then figured no one would notice them reusing animation sequences 2-3x in a row.

I actually finished watching the Aldnoah.Zero series the other day (unless they are planning to make a third season). The ending was, actually decent. I was expecting something a bit more dramatic or something to pull at the heartstrings a bit, but I didn't really feel it.

Granted, I've seen better endings to good animes, but this was one sub-par. Would I watch it again? Probably yeah, I already have all the episodes downloaded. :P

Yeah ANZ's ending was just kinda...blah. It wasn't terrible but it wasn't super great either. It was a bit of a shame because ANZ continually performed and brought fantastic episodes one after another during it's 2 season run.

Heh, in a way ANZ's ending is just like it's protagonist. Some emotions but generally just moving on with poker face.

Well in other news, Eva creator is co-directing the next Godzilla. Half the world now sheds tears of joy, the other half cries in terror as we can only imagine the horrific trauma he's going to inflict upon the characters. All I can say is...we better not have to sit through a movie where Godzilla is throwing a pity party every 5 mins. Cause then for once I'll root for the humans to win, not Godzilla.

Perfect summary of the ending. But yeah, I kind of felt that the episodes in their entirety were great, just the ending was decent. Overall though, still a good series.

Say, does anyone watch Log Horizon still? I gave up around episode 6 of the second season (not enough action was happening so I dropped it), but I am curious to hear if the action increased shortly afterwards. If it's still carrying the same tone, I might just avoid all of Season 2 altogether.

They do 2 major raids during it. Think you might have dropped right before they did the first raid.

I just watched a bunch of Squid Girl, which I found amusing.

Then I watched the first episode of Food Wars, which was pretty hilarious.

Does anyone know of a manga about the Shield Hero?

I was pretty far in, but forgot the name.

SHOKUGEKI!!! :D

Bento is a decent food related one too. Although, only the first half of it. After 6 episodes the story seems to go off canter a bit with new character additions which detract more than add to the series.
