That's a brilliant set you have there.
I'm curious which epic, awesome, astonishing, majestic, magnificent, spectacular and extraordinary person triggered the chain of events which made you change your set to the current one?
Praising yourself just bc you asked me if I read the series? That was even less than a recommendation, just a reminder of me wanting to read it. Come back once you're actually recommending something at least

Yeah it is. I think it's from Type Moon Ace Volume 11, but I would need to check my copy. Just a special picture drawn by Takeuchi though, no bigger story behind it I believe.

Well it's the most recent one, so it's easy to recall xD Not like I've read all, though I guess by now I saw almost all the important scans. I've recently read the second Fate material that was just released in english, it was amazing. A high amount of information about all the important and not so important characters, weapons and CGs. Maybe I should scan the page about Cu Culainn for you
Yes, it's a great page

Well once I have some free time, if I'm lazy I will just make a photo I guess
hmm couldn't tell you for sure, but it looks like it's most likely from Fate/Prototype: Fragments of Blue and Silver, so that's a spin-off based on the ideas of the original Fate Nasu wrote.
1. No, two sitting. 30 chapters on the evening until it got pretty late, rest on the morning after.
2. I gave it a 9/10.
3. Hmm there were people saying it dragged at some points, but personally I didn't feel like that at all. There is more or less one aspect of the story I didn't really like, related to one character. I think that didn't get enough attention/wasn't handled as well as everything else. Besides that there are maybe one or two things I would have prefered to see fleshed out a bit more, but that's not really a big complaint. Just overall a few minor points which didn't make it a 10/10.
4. lol that's a difficult question. I would say not exceptionally well but not bad either. Definitely an interesting and likeable character, but there's not much that makes her truly stand out to me. I guess that might be related to one of my minor complaints, namely that we didn't get a lot of material regarding her inner workings (though there is some). Probably would rate her character 7.5/10, so basically good but not good enough to be among my favourite female characters. Shoya and Shouko shine most when they're together.
Thank you very much for your thoughts. I will probably start to read KnK next week. :3
I watched the first episode of the shows you recommended:
Sakurada Reset:
I dropped it, honestly. The characters failed to catch my attention. They showed little to no emotion whatsoever. The whole episode was boring, there was no "motion", no "life" in this episode. If you compare this episode with the first minutes of Tsuki ga Kirei, SukaSuka or Re:Creators, you get what I mean. The characters seemed to have a stick up their asses, a bad job from the animators team.
Tsuki ga Kirei:
The first episode wasn't exceptional, but it did good at what it did. I had a smile on my face throughout the episode. The art may be strange, but the animation is more than okay, very lively show. The voice actress of Akane is adorable! I don't expect anything great from this series, but it's definitely a good chill-show.
SukaSuka:
It was plain...awesome! The show had me right from the start with that amazing intro. The world setting is interesting and the choice of music on spot. Willem is a cool and funny protagonist with a lot of potential it seems. Heck the whole cast seems to be great at this point. Chtholly is gorgeous, the kids are pure win and Nygglatho made every scene a gem. And that flashback 500 years ago o.o... So much to come, looking forward to it.
gomenasai, gomenasai, gomenasai, gomenasai xD
Re: Creators:
Another promising series! Nice animation and great character designs, especially that spear bearer villain looks awesome and has a great voice. The tracks are awesome and the sound effects are incredible! I don't know what the hell is happening, but so far like the fights and how Celestial acts as a character. I feared she would act like a bitch the whole episode, but that was happily not the case. This one will surely deliver!
Re:Creators sort of has a Fate feel to it in my eyes. The points syx mentioned, and the fact that it has good jiggle physics makes it an instant hit with me.
I have yet to read or watch more than some of Fate since my literature and media plate is so full at the moment
Noblesse (Nearly caught up)
Vinland Saga (Loving this a lot so far)
Vagabond
A whole bunch of Manhwa and Manga Jammin suggested for me
I'm also interested to know if anyone here is a fan of Code Geass? What do you think of R3 releaseing this year?

Not to butt in I felt the same about those 2 (the only 2 I've seen so far). I had a lot of fun with SukaSuka. Nygglatho is certainly a scene stealer Tsuki ga Rikei should be quite enjoyable given it's simplicity.
Yeah AmaLee is great, no surprise that she's that popular. I like almost all of her covers too, at least from the songs I know. Probably should go through some of her older songs, I've not checked all of them yet.
Not sure if you will like this, but it's still among my favourite covers.
Apparently her most popular cover right after Guren no Yumiya, that's somewhat surprising xD
Love this one too, awesome combo with NateWantsToBattle (he has some good covers too). And I know you love "My Dearest", did you listen to her cover?
Though in this case the original is far superior I feel, simply bc supercell's performance in the original song was amazing.

ah ofc I was wrong, the most popular song had to be SAO after all

Yeah Sakurada Reset was really bad. I think the premise actually had quite a bit of promise, but both the animation and script were awful in my eyes. You can't possibly do it much worse than that... I actually wanted to give this a chance to see if things improve, and things do improve in episode 2, but far from enough. It didn't get to me at all, so I dropped it as well.
Looks like Tsuki ga Kirei will be a nice show to relax indeed, with a smile on your face It's a down-to-earth romance, so while that does not get your blood pumping or anything I think it does a good job to realistically portray teens falling in love/getting together. I was somewhat reminded of my school days at some parts xD Episode 2 pretty much continues in that way :3
My thoughts are more or less similar to yours regarding SukaSuka, not much actually happened but it did a good job with introducing the characters and the various hints at what's to come. Helps that none of the characters are annoying and that Willem seems like a really fun guy in his own way. He has great chemistry with that troll Also the kids are goddamn adorable, that's at least Chise level of cuteness Really looking forward to were this is going, I think we will get a cool mix of slice of life and (potentially heartbreaking) drama with some action.
About Re:Creators, it seems fairly obvious that this is anime/manga characters (not sure if only girls xD) brought to life by someone, who apparently have to battle against each other in some way. Not sure if the story will be anything to write home about, but the directing and animation was handled really well so far, music too obviously.
Also I have one last rec for you. It's the last one, just forgot to mention it last time: Seikaisuru Kado. It has three episodes so far (00,01,02).

Ah I dunno, might be a bit too early to tell. The first episode certainly was quite fun though. You're welcome, and no worries, take your time. There's too much good otaku stuff out there :3
Sounds like a good list, though I got bored with Noblesse long ago, haven't read it for years now.
We already talked about CG R3 two times I believe, so I have nothing to add

It looks like made by ufotable. Damn Takeuchi, it's so siggy material. I think I will use it as my siggy next time.

But it seems to have gotten wordy, or maybe I'm getting confused xD
