That's the game logic of its story of course. Besides that, I finished episode one, and cool appearances for my favorite ships. Also, beautiful animation, and the art (plus penguin). Overall, I like the first episode on what it is setting up. My only consider is how characterization within this huge cast will be handle, and the villains.

Well, Tokyo Ghoul √A will be interesting.

I also love the jabs the mangaka took at Studio Perriot, considering he's the writer of the anime original s2.

Finished baccano! And now part way through durarara! ^^

Baccano was quite good, I like the way the story was non linear.

Rurouni Kenshin is highly recommended as a solid historical comedy/drama/action series. Or, at least, the first two seasons are. Up through the ending of the Kyoto arc, it is awesome. The third and fourth arcs are not based on the manga, and the fact that they are filler shows. The third arc is decent, but following on the heels of the Kyoto arc it is a big letdown in comparison.

Definitely watch this one subtitled though. The English dub is pretty terrible. (Though the DVDs include outtakes from the dubbing, many of which are thoroughly hilarious, especially the English voice for the series' resident Top Badass constantly flubbing the names of his attacks.)

The Rurouni Kenshin OAVs are considerably darker and more dramatic in tone than the TV series, but the first one is still a nice dramatic take on Kenshin's backstory. (There's a marked difference in the art style of the TV series vs the OVAs though, so that can be jarring.) I would advise AGAINST the Reflection OVA set after the TV series/end of the manga though; it's been basically deemed non-canon by the studio and the creator of the manga, and it is horribly, horribly depressing. Seriously, that OVA set off a fandom-wide depression when it first came out (later called "Seissouhen Depression Syndrome" by a lot of us) due to the ending.

Anyways, to my regular schedule. I'm extremely excited for the Psycho Pass movie. It honestly looks amazing thus far and... hnnnngh KOGAMI IS BACK FUCK YESS! Anyways, Aldnoah Zero is also on my anticipation list, however, I have a negative outlook on it and low expectations, I mean, how do write off a death of two major characters? Thankfully Urobutcher has taken back the reigns so... hopefully it turns out well. The soundtrack I have high expectations, of course.

Persona 3 movie part 3 yes pls.

tokyo ghoul s2 is so excite SQUEE

Assassination Classroom anime is looking good. Don't like Nagisa being voiced by a chick, but Koro-Sensei's' voice is fitting.

Stardust Crusaders part 2 started out disappointing.

Death Parade is an easy 1 and done.

I have mixed feelings about Fate/Zero. Like, it sort of doesn't click with me.

I don't know, I feel like it's a mixed bag for me as a result, hence the 'meh' since my explanation would make little sense.

Baccano!: Great, and a fun watch.
Psycho Pass: The first season is great, the second season is.....disappointing.
Fate/Zero: Excellent. Though I should say it's recommended to view the Fate/Stay Night anime by Ufotable (but not the old DEEN ones) before Fate/Zero.
SAO: First Arc is alright, second is shit in the first season. The first season in general was mediocre. However, the second season is much better. First arc was good, second was meh and third was really good.
Mirai Nikki: Personally, did not like it at all. Good concept, terrible execution.
Darker than Black: Great, though some consider the sequels not as good. I still enjoyed them.

I thought Psycho Pass season two was pretty disappointing myself, especially compared to the first season. UBW was my personal highlight. Though i'm a bit biased on that.

As for Aldnoah "Don't worry Urobuchi is taking the reins, it'll be alright."
-Beach episode time
-Princess alive, giving speech
-Inaho now has super cybernetic eye
-ADLNOAH KISS lolwut
-Turns out princess is fake, ayy lmao she's in stasis
-Saazbaum is also alive cause whynot

Wtf are they even doing with this show anymore

So despite the fact that you loved the first episode, some stranger on the internet was able to make you completly give it up because they made some throwaway comparison to a show you dislike?
