I loved the ending though. I don't think it was rushed. Rather, that is how it was planned

The second episode is essentially more of the same. Pretty much what I'm hearing is that this is what to expect from Tomino, so I'll give it another couple of eps and then I'm not sure I can stand much more if it stays exactly the same.
I thought it was pretty funny and enjoyed it quite a bit.
Unlimited Blade Works prologue is out. That's next on my list right now.
Also caught World Trigger. Nothing much happened in the first ep except for a reveal at the end. Seems it could be interesting depending on where it goes from there. I don't know anything about the manga so I'm in the dark as far as that goes.
I wouldn't really say it was rushed, although I guess it could come off that way. I do wish we knew more about why Inaho is the way he is, but there is the whole second half to cover that,
if he survives, which I'm guessing he will.

I checked out a few more...
Danna ga Nani wo Itteiru ka Wakaranai Ken - This is really just a series of 3-minute shorts (reminds me of the poorly-titled Mangirl!) , but I thought they were fairly fun overall. It's essentially about this woman that married an otaku, and various aspects of their life.
Denki-ga no Honya-san - I decided to check this out in my eternal quest to find another fun at-work anime like Working!!. And before anyone says it, yes, I've also seen Servant x Service, which I enjoyed, but I still think Working!! is better. Anyway! This is definitely an odd series with interesting characters. I'd like to see where it goes, but I get the feeling that I still won't like it as much as the others. At this point, Servant x Service is even looking better.
Cross Ange - I checked this one out since it was listed as a mecha anime, and I'm not too sure what to think. It looks like it might be kinda awkward with a bit of the shoujo-ai themes (physicals
). Although, I think the mechas are kind of cool.
Gugure! Kokkuri-san - It seems like this series will be this season's kookier version of Barakamon. It has some interesting characters, but I don't think they're nearly as endearing as those you find in Barakamon. The series did also slyly show off some possible future important characters, but we didn't really find out much about them. This could be interesting depending on what sort of situations they get into.
World Trigger - I don't know what it is about this series, but I like it so far. I think it was just the nonsensical attitude of the main character, and you get the feeling that it'll pair off well with the no-nonsense attitude of "megane-kun". Of course, a lot of how this series goes will depend on the story, so that's somewhat up in the air now. Although, at least there was an interesting bit at the end.
I've currently got the following still to watch:
Grisaia no Kaijutsu
Magic Kaito 1412
TERRA FORMARS
Tribe Cool Crew
Ugh, at least we have Gundam Build Fighters Try starting next week (Please set your GP base!). I watched the PV for it, and it looks like it could be good. They're mixing up the formula a bit by having it be 3v3 tournaments. I just hope there isn't some silly backstory tacked on like they had in the original. Honestly, I didn't really care much about it.
I've actually never seen a Fate/ show.
There was just something about the tone of the show that changed once
. That was probably the first episode that I watched where I said, "I really didn't care for that one...", when it finished. I was also getting a bit tired of angsty Martian chick just brooding everywhere. At least they eventually tied that up, but it took so flippin' long to do so.

i'm following:
Shingeki no Bahamut: the spaghetti western of fantasy series, top level animation, strong art, good story progression. current best of new crop
Cross Ange: great mecha, girl heroine in prison setting, magic users vs non magic users, cavity search makes this a bit on the mature side. bit of a 70's exploitation or roger corman vibe.
Ushinawareta Mirai wo Motomete: non action, timeline changing mystery box, highschool romance.
Denki Gai Honya: manga bookstore slice of life, feels like we've seen most of this in genshiken
borderline series:
Garo Honoo no Kokuin: cg hero armors in feudal world fighting demons who take over human bodies. 2d characters and backgrounds dont blend well with the 3d. ok storytelling.
Karen Senki: humans vs robot overlords, girl hero as bounty hunter resistance fighter. all cg, anything that cant be mocapped flies/rolls/hovers to avoid animating a walk cycle. on the fence with this one, but at 10 min per ep its worth the gamble.
Madan no Ou to Vanadis: surprisingly good for warrior girl series, archer boy as servant/hostage is main twist. somewhat cookie cutter in tropes but watchable.
Nanatsu no Taizai: 7 heroes helping a princess vs army of corrupt knights. somewhere between fairytail and a toriyama series. junk food but watchable.
Donten ni Warau: not nearly as edgy looking as the manga, 3 brothers who run a temple also serve as ferrymen to a island prison for bakamatsu govt, supernatural and political mystery box.
ready to drop:
Gundam Reconguista: skip it, no setup, ridiculous plot progression, worse than meh mecha, character designs are the only notable attribute. very late 90's look, in the not good way.
Terraformars: skip it. bug spliced humans fighting giant humanoid cockroaches on mars.
World Trigger: skip. very cheap animation, simple character designs, poor story progression, meh characters.

Okay, let's see which ones I haven't listed yet that I've watched...
Grisaia no Kaijutsu - Not too sure what I think about this one yet. It has a bit of a Full Metal Panic feel to me... albeit there's actually a different series by the people behind FMP this season. Anyway, it just gives me that vibe since it has a battle-hardened male among females, which is close enough. It's pretty much a harem anime featuring varying women with vastly different pasts. Chances are we'll find out about all of them over time, but it hasn't done much to really draw me in.
Magic Kaito 1412 - This actually reminds me a little bit of Kage Kara Mamoru... probably because of the whole kid with hidden past living next to childhood friend sort of thing. Anyway, it seems interesting, but I'm not entirely sure what the main draw will be. Is it just going to be some episodic nature where we eventually see him grab a new jewel every few episodes? I've seen the first two, and the third episode is going to be an episodic one.
Inou Battle wa Nichijou-kei no Naka de - This is sort of an anime for those that hadn't had enough Chuunibyo demo Koi ga Shitai!... except the people in this anime actually have powers. This is meant to be more of a slice of life series with a bit of mystery dashed in as to how people are getting powers.
Nanatsu no Taizai - Alright, so I decided to give this one a chance by happenstance, and... WHY HAVE I NOT HEARD OF THIS BEFORE!? I sort of pick up this bit of a Hunter x Hunter, One Piece or Fairy Tail vibe from the setting and the characters, which I think can be a good thing. The main character is also a huge perv, but appears to be as much of a bad ass as he is a perv. Just watch the end of the second episode, and you'll see what I mean. My only worry is that with characters that are already really strong... what's going to really stand in their way? Is there going to be character power growth? Is it going to mostly be a journey anime (that's what it seems like right now)? This is a shounen series that has been running since 2012 in Kodansha's Weekly Shounen Magazine, so it definitely has potential to go for a longer run.
Amagi Brilliant Park - I mentioned that there was a series that was by the Full Metal Panic people, and this is it. This series is based on a light novel written by the same guy that wrote Full Metal Panic, and it's also the same director of Full Metal Panic: The Second Raid and Full Metal Panic: Fumoffu (my personal favorite). It's a bit of a strange one that seems to have a bit of a slow start, but I think it has potential. It has some strange yet interesting characters and an odd, but potentially fun premise. They also hint quite heavily that the main character has a past as a celebrity that he doesn't really want to deal with.
Yeah, it actually gets a bit more rapey in the second episode too. It looks like they did some censoring as well, which most likely means there will be uncensored releases eventually. As for the show itself, it's a bit of a hard watch. I mean... I don't mind a bit of ecchi, but when it just seems too gratuitous, that's when it starts to turn me off. What makes it more palpable is when the anime is interesting enough to watch that you can ignore it. The problem with Cross Ange is that the main character, Angelise/Ange, is so fucking annoying and unlikeable.

I've actually never seen any of the Fate/stay night series. Although, I did a bit of research into it, and it looks like you'd be okay just watching it. From what I see, both Fate/stay night and Fate/Unlimited Blade Works are based off the eroge game Fate/stay night; however, they both represent differing paths within the game. Although, from what I've read, you have to play a majority of stay night to even start Unlimited Blade Works. So, that makes me a bit weary.
So, at worse, you could always watch Fate/stay night, which will let a few episodes of Unlimited Blade Works pile up. Don't forget that Unlimited Blade Works is also a split-cours series, which means the next half won't come out until April 2015.

I'd skip #2 at least til the end. They basically put an entire season into a 1.5 hour movie.

Inou-Battle wa Nichijou-kei no Naka de: harem series set in highschool featuring students with powers. From studio trigger(little witch academia, kill la kill). Primarily gag format, but some light melodrama moments. Female character personalities are probably the most interesting part.
Trinity Seven: also harem series set in highschool for students with powers/magic. Characters arent all that deep, but nicely detailed art and consistent animation. Looks to go dark at some point with all the foreshadowing elements. Protagonist is unrepentant horndog.
Shirobako: slice of life, inside making of anime. 5 girls at entry level animation studio jobs. Relatively straight light melodrama with homages/gags referencing things like initial D in the econobox races for parking spaces. Primarily shows how difficult it is to keep a show on schedule and that the workers do it for low pay but high satisfaction. Watch Animation Runner Kuromi for a less dramatised more informative version.
Shigatsu no Kimi no Uso: slice of life, concert musician highschool students. Very polished production and animation. Slightly heavy handed in the emotional baggage for protagonist, but emotional drama elements are sincere enough. Will probably be the strongest of the romance series.
Hitsugi no Chaika: Avenging Battle: 2nd season of coffin princess chaika, art quality still at 1st season levels, story pace is a bit leisurely as they recap the main points of last season's reveals but should pick up after 2nd ep.
Psychopass season2: season1 director/showrunner has been replaced and it shows. Ep1 begins with 1year timeskip since last season's finale and inspector Akane is now in badass mode with new enforcers in tow. Story progression and even character consistency seem much rougher and clumsier than S1. Antagonist is variation on Makishima (clean pass vs invisible to scan). Can only hope Kougami comes back before they jump the shark.
Akatsuki no Yona: feudal era quasi historical, princess flees home and acquires friends to reclaim kingdom. Minor korean influence on art esthetic, verging on super power martial arts fight style. Main character especially annoying, although the timeskip scenes imply she becomes badass. (unless story development pace picks up, this may be a skip it)
Hi☆sCoool! SeHa Girls : gag series, all 3d, girls attend weird school where the enter video games to earn credits to graduate. Giant love letter to Sega games from the past. Features megagear, saturn, dreamcast characters taking on blocky virtua fighters like akira jeffry and sarah. 15 min eps.

Watch all of Fate Zero and then the current Fate/stay night unlimited blade works. The old Studio Deen Fate stay night is trash. Fate Zero is the prequel and should be seen first.
Seconded on Shingeki no Bahamut. Very pleasantly surprised with it.
Parasyte is another new show I'm following. It's based on a 90's manga and not on the anime charts floating around. The story is amusing and animation is decent.

dayum http://www.reddit.com/r/anime/wiki/seriesfaq-fate :hmm:
I am so tempted to go 'Brave' route
Brave: Entire F/SN visual novel -> Fate/Zero -> UBW anime -> HF movies. I recommend this order if you just can't wait at all for the adaptions or prefer to experience F/SN in it's original, uncut form. With the full story being available to you but having to wait until the end of Spring 2015 for UBW to finish, and who knows how long for all the HF movies to be completed, and then finally getting to watch Fate/Zero, I wouldn't be surprised if you ended up going with this order when you originally were following one of the other options. You also get to see how well ufotable adapts the story and don't get to miss out on all the things that were cut. Just be prepared to spend 50+ hours as it is a very long VN, but it's definitely worth every second.
My life is ruined 50 + hours lmao.

Really enjoying Nisekoi right now. I haven't been this entertained since Kimi ni Todoke. The animation looks so much better too.
