It started great but I thought it also went on a slump right after Erio went "normal".

Watch it! I wanna read your review of it because it honestly made my head hurt! I might read some interesting finds considering there were many gaps to be filled to fully understand this one.

I would have loved to witness a more striking and memorable ending to the franchise. I mean yeah, it ended well and all but the final scene was pretty forgettable because it's bland and already in the list of everyone's ending predictions. Takahashi-sensei should have included more surprising elements rather than the obvious ending that the fans want.

But I'm guessing her parents aren't also around the next day, and won't be busy. Her tone during the phone call sort of insinuates that Nadeko would always find time for Araragi, just so he'll drop by right at the moment he calls. So far, the second episode seeds some clues to what the siblings are up to and I'm quite amazed how Shaft is doing it alongside fancy fanservice.

@Renn, I'm all for Hocchan's remix too!

I really liked Hazy too, forget all the Nano.ripe songs XD this is the only nice song from HanaIro...

Makes me sad that there's no Secret Base, haha.

We share the same opinion about Aoex. It was such a trainwreck. I am criticizing it regardless of the manga, and yet it really feels weak. I'd have to say that Denpa Onna is also one of those nice one cour anime (despite the weak finale).

I agree with your top 4, haha but I just don't like T&B. I wasn't that enticed by the plot nor to its characters.

Where's Fate/Zero btw? haha

Tofu Happy Birthday! You're the best example of a commenter turned blogger. More power to you!

I'd probably rank the Patricia fight higher than the Charlotte and Elsa Maria fights because it was the only fight where I get to see Madoka fight competently alongside Mami. XP

true, the shallow human interaction is very apparent in such society because everyone seeks their own pleasures in life. It reeks of selfishness and detachment. In the end, everything is superficial.

Lol, I actually find Lost Millennium lame XP

I only enjoyed it during the first part because the latter episodes felt like a hodgepodge of i don't know anymore, haha.

I don't think Fractale System promotes mundane life, quite the opposite actually because it gives you more choices via the post-scarcity concept, but I think it has to do with the absence of challenges and drawbacks in life in such setting that would make me join the rebels.
