I'll give it one good mark out of the horrific mess that it is...
This:
You know what this means...they're flying around in giant flying toilets. So the next question, in the space battles, why aren't the high action fight sequences broken up by a floater drifting across the screen? There is no gravity...stuff inside that toilet should be flowing out and into the cockpit. Between that and the crotch lasers/missiles and the other stupidity, I did manage a few laughs. Also thinking up reasons for Tomino's sick fascination with balls...they're everywhere. Chuchumy, water, that moronic talking robot that is perpetually in every Gundam series...balls...nothing but balls!!
Gah...sigh...oh well, least I have Denki-gai no Honya-san to break up the moments of Reconguista's instanity:
Squidslinger Gilder:
Moving on, Grisaia no Kajitsu.
Its a show that certainly has it's moments. Although I'd classify it as a dark harem show. The guy is an emotionless killer and the girls are a mixture of tropes. But what has stood out as been some of the episodes which just get surreal. You don't expect some of the dark tones with the girls. Being buried alive, blown up/etc. Then the protagonist just walking in and blowing someone's brains out without letting them speak much of anything. Its a bit edgy at times and has made it somewhat fresh compared to other shows.
However...the Angelic Howl arc atm...pretty much the most moronic survival story I've ever seen. I'll try not to spoil it but for 2 episodes now I keep asking,"why is there no signal fire?" The other story arcs are decent and interesting but this...pretty much has ruined the show. I'm suddenly rooting for the characters to be eaten by a bear so I don't have to watch anymore stupidity.
Squidslinger Gilder:
Fairy Tail 2014 should be renamed Fan Service Tail. I don't think Lucy has worn real clothes for one episode this season and most of the time they reuse the same gags to get her into swimsuits/etc. In fact, the whole cast now is on a swimsuit regime.
Sad, was a fun show at one time. Even got a Fairy Tail emblem on my car. Now...its like they gave the series over to some real tropey writers.

Tropes are not bad; They are tools. Any tool used incorrectly is bad, and any tool that is overused loses effect.

Yes but if the tropes are so excessively prominent critics will merely say the above thing. If done correctly yes, they can be good. But examples of poor use of tropes is the reliance of them to create a character/story.
Anyway. Posted here to remark upon a random thought/challenge.
Would a woman ever have the drive to break a male tsundere? Barring perhaps Yandere and generic harem titles, nothing comes close. And technically they didn't conquer that male character so... yeah. Usually anime's version of male seduction is removing clothes (unless it yaoi by which point its just rape/woman in a man's body-hence yaoi is boring).
