1-3: The Attack of the Sparkling Backgrounds

[pluffei]

And here's to a diligent President, making the poll right after club ends! Yaaaay. If only I were as diligent with schoolwork...

Anyways. Mayo Chiki got the least votes last week, but I personally thought that the first episode was the most extreme. It gets tamer once you get used to it, so I wanted people to give it a second chance. If it gets ranked substantially lower again this week, I'll be kicking it off of the lineup for good (so those of you who asked me about it during club, you'll have to watch the rest on your own).

Here's what we watched today:
Card Captor Sakura:

The oldie of the week. Ah, the magical girl days...

Natsume Yuujinchou:

I remember crying for almost every episode of this series the first time I watched it.

Mayo Chiki!:

Baaaaaaaaa... goes the butler sheep, to the self proclaimed gynophobic non-perverted main character.

Ikoku Meiro no Croisée:

Because fresh bread is indeed delicious.

Kamisama Dolls:

YES QB. USE THE KNIFE.

Usagi Drop:

More shiny backgrounded girls!

Mawaru Penguindrum

Obligated: SURVIVAL STRATEGYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!

So anyways, please vote so I know what to show/not to show next week.

Hey I actually... like Mayo Chiki now.

[pluffei]

Lol. I know right. It gets less weird (on average) as the show progresses.

We generally want to stay away from prequels/sequels unless you don't need to have seen the original to enjoy it. Idk if fate/zero fits that, but just a heads up.

Though I have been meaning to watch Fate/Stay Night for like four years =_=;

fate/zero seems to be a complete series rather than just an addon prequel to fate, though there are several characters in zero that play roles in fate. do you need to see/play fate before seeing zero, not really but it does make zero more enjoyable because you are basically seeing backstory that leads to fate.

and i may as well put in my two cents on everything else. My first time seeing mayoi chiki (missed the previous episode), series is....interesting...was saying wtf about half the time but it was entertaining.

and kamisama dolls may as well be madoka with robots, which should be interesting because robots make everything better

Fate/Zero's first episode spoils a couple of things from the last route of the Fate/stay night visual novel. If you don't plan to read it, it's perfectly fine, sine the anime never gets that far, but it's important to mention if you do want to. That being said, those elements don't really play a large role in Fate/Zero, but you won't appreciate Fate/Zero as much as Fate/stay night readers/watchers.
