In more welcome news, I breached past the Demon Sword Baka-something arc in Gintama, and am now on episode 62. Which, from the posting of gifs I've seen around here, means I've probably passed the height of animation quality to be expected.
And now that Aldnoah.Zero has stirred me to apathy, I'll even start JoJo's Bizaaare Adventure.
JOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOJOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I would seriously recommend "The Irregular at Magic High School." It's got its own Inaho in the form of Tatsuya Shiba who's a major badass.
On the plus side, seeing the Slain fanbase collapse after this episode was pretty epic.

That's the one with the not-so-subtle incest subplot, isn't it? And the suppossedly inferior mage who beats the **** out of everyone with magic and martial arts?
Can someone tell me if death note is worth watching?

Nah, the animation gets better.
Don't be like 'dat Dean.
Gintama becomes better and better always.
BSN making you a pessimist.
Be an opitimist
Like Geth
He always tells me "don't worry sim, you'll always be a loser, so just smile and accept your stupidity."

Yes.
And no.
But mostly yes.
Because of a letter.

Spoiler
I really hope all that made sense.
I haven't exactly given the analytical part of my brain a jog in a while and coffee is still working to wake me up. Not going to deny the fact that it's also making me want to re-watch the series again... If you ever have to ask why my to watch list never seems to go down, it's the same reason my gaming backlog is huge. I tend to run back to things I love way more than starting something new.
Don't worry Anima.
I always love your walls of text 
On the plus side, seeing the Slain fanbase collapse after this episode was pretty epic.
Eh, I'd be willing to pass on it.
On a personal plus side, it seems like Aldnoah will be one of those series that gets an awesome amazing headcanon re-write in my head. I do that from time to time- turned Tiger & Bunny (a series I loved greatly) into a darker and edgier reboot of the series and some of its themes of the superheroes and next, made a time-loop version of Persona 4, and of course there was that whole Renegade Reinterpretations thing...
Personally I think the writers missed the boat with slain when they killed off Crueto when he was on the cusp of turning against the conspiracy. While it did open the door for the real mastermind to emerge and be developed as a compelling character in his own right (no, seriously- that was a good villain who was a person as well as the bad guy), I think the nominal themes of the show would have been supported more had it turned into a Martian civil war between the conspirators and True Knights, with Earth struggling to stay relevant in a fight that transcended its abilities to determine the outcome.
Of the nominal themes of the show (racism, colonialism, and of course the whole 'Let Justice Be Done Though The Heavens Fall' principle), that plot twist was the one where they really went away as far as I was concerned. I was really hoping that non-consequentialist ethics and pursuit of 'justice' would be a theme of the show, especially for the martians, but ultimately the racism was pretty banal and kind of silly. Colonialism just got lip service, since the feudal mentality of the conflict never got explored or even fleshed out. How are the martians 'ruling' their territory, if we're supposed to believe that the HQ base may have the last living terrans to prevent extinction?
No, the epic/macro story should have embraced the drama (and difficulty) of the Earth trying to cope with Crueto (and other Knights) basically doing their own thing and starting an inter-martian conflict that the Earthlings are caught in. It'd be a big case of an awkward/desperate alliance- the Earth needing the reprieve and help of Crueto, but the whole martian racism and just-invaded-with-nuclear-landings thing still on the mind.
The princess tour boat could still do its thing for plot building, with the first major changes being in the battle in Siberia, but the S1 finale being the breakout of the civil war as the last ditch effort to kill the princess before the truth really gets out is fought in Siberia.

You gotta admit, how he took care of The Empress was badass.
Of course it was!
But I hope he gets more 'moments' like the others have had. Each other dude has had their personal triumphs against the other Arcana- I mean Stands.
Like the Sun Stand. That was b*llsh*t tactics in the works, and Joseph is the master of BS tactics xD I wish he was the one to notice before everyone else.
Yes.
And no.

Watch the first half with the best character, watch the bad end, and rather than watching the fictional second half just go wiki about how the movies ended.

I'm a pessimist by trade.
It's my job to tell people when and how things are likely to be fucked up. It's really easy, because I can point at random people and go 'that person, when you least expect it.'

JoJo is better.
According to the Ten Commandments JoJo was the first but got re-written by those damned Republicans so now we're shaving marijuana for ice cream.

You should talk to Geth.
He'll get you in the right track.
Because of him Nixon was president.
And wasn't that better for everybody?

I need to correct this misinformation, the studio that animates the original release does not do the English dub. Just saying.
Just sayin'
Dubs from BONES are usually perfect.

He had a pretty successful foreign policy- just sayin.
And in other news, Mr. House apparently is a fan of my anime-related posts, having liked a lot of them in the last few minutes. Is it because of my cutting wit, my insightful analysis, or my feminine appeal?
I would seriously recommend "The Irregular at Magic High School." It's got its own Inaho in the form of Tatsuya Shiba who's a major badass.
The incest is cringe-worthy and Tatsuya, I find, is extremely monotone and one note in all of his dialogue. The plot is all over the place and it's rather hard for me to keep up with what the hell is going on.
The only thing I like about Irregular is the openings and endings, the animation quality, and the battle sequences. That's about it.

Fortunately, the first part is relatively harmless and can be ignored.

Finished Mirai Nikkei / The Future Diary. Well if I were to be objective about the show, it is a solid 7/10 in my opinion, but it is still one of my all time favorite anime shows.
Why? I guess it had to do with the level of emotional impact it had on me and how much attached I got to it. The show made me laugh, it made me interested in the development of the story and characters, it mad me scared, and it made me cry on certain scenes. No other anime has made me feel so much emotions as Mirai Nikkei. I do love how well developed many of the characters were and I even felt sad for several Diary Holders. I loved Yuno, in a very twisted way. She was a rather interesting character, and time and time again I forgot while watching the show how very twisted her sanity is and what lengths she would go to achieve her goals. I hated Yuki in the beginning but I grew to like him a lot across the show and I was pleased that he had proper character development (many characters did). I totally shipped Yuki and Yuno throughout the show and I was really in tears in the last episode. Also in the OVA sequel, but that was tears of joy, which I rarely literally have.
The show has its problems, mostly its plot holes that it is riddled with, but I can't help loving this show. Despite it being a 7/10, it is easily in my Top 5 slot. I don't tend rewatch animes, but this one I can see doing in the future.
Have no clue what anime to watch next. Gonna look for a reviews and public opinion on something good. Kinda dig the romance aspect now so might check for some anime of that feature.
Yeah, Mirai Nikki is very loveable.
Because Yuno... and of course...
AKISE MOTHERF*CKING ARUUUUUUUUUU

Stupid or no, cliffhangers always work their magic in the end. They're annoying -.-

All of the above.
I know nothing about America outside Assassin's Creed III...
Oh, and GTA.
Yeah...
I've been to Orlando Studios though.

That's because the season is divided into three stories so it's sometimes hard to follow.
I can't wait for this:
