Also, congrats to Satania. She managed to become that arch demon she always aspired to be.

Heck the character he voices is also pretty obviously gaijin, too.

Suburban sprawl.
That or it's another mistranslation. Sakura Quest's had a few of them.
My Fanfics. Read 'em. Or not.McJon01: We all know that the real reason Archer would lose to Rider is because the events of his own Holy Grail War left him with a particular weakness toward "older sister" types.
Just watched the second episode of Clockwork Planet, and I'd say it's shaping up to be a pretty good show.
RyuZU really is adorable. The scene of her trying on new clothes with Naoto was easily one of the d'aww worthy moments I've seen in a while.

Most hyped of the season? You have... interesting tastes.
I did check it out though and the basic premise seemed intriguing, albeit obviously a vessel for boatloads of fanservice. The censoring was incredibly obnoxious and basically makes watching the show's spicier scenes an exercise in irritation. If it keeps up like that, it'd definitely make much more sense to wait for an uncensored edition of some sort. (Thankfully Valkyrie Drive, a similar ecchi show, had an uncensored version come out quite quickly alongside the regular episodes)
Just watched the second episode of Rage Of Bahamut: Virgin Soul. That scene of Nina trying to walk nonchalantly by Azazel while whistling and pretending not to notice him was comedy freaking gold. Nearly everything about their interactions this week is hilarious, really. Azazel is trying to give Nina this big dramatic lecture on the hypocrisy of mankind, and meanwhile she's just thinking "Who is this crazily hot guy and why is he shouting at me?" while trying to keep her raging hormones in check enough so she doesn't explode into a giant dragon. Seriously, that girl needs to enter a convent or something. I'm pretty sure her unchecked libido is literally a threat to all humanity at this point.

And what's with that ending theme? I was happily nodding along to the happy-go-lucky visuals of chibi Nina strolling through an RPG-styled environment while cheery music plays until I suddenly realize... are these lyrics about suicide? The singer talks about "saying goodbye to everything" and "killing her past self" and I'm all like... is this metaphorical? What is this?
...Rather disturbingly dark lyrics for such an outwardly bouncy song and accompanying imagery, in any case.
There are uncensored versions. ReinWeiss and RH are uncensored. I definitely wouldn't have been hyped for it if I didn't know uncensored releases were gonna come. But based AT-X delivered.
I should also say, that Sin is my most hyped new show. I don't count sequels or spinoffs because they have an advantage, since the fact I'm watching a sequel or spinoff means I like the original material and want more.

Ah, so excluding stuff like My Hero Academia and Rage Of Bahamut then.

Now I finally get what this post is talking about.
Yeah, that episode of Re:Creators was really something. I have to say, while Rage Of Bahamut might be better objectively, when it comes to a show that's just an absolute blast to watch from beginning to end, this one's hard to beat. The premise is absolutely perfect- both allowing for all kinds of ridiculous and over-the-top scenarios with characters from all different genres clashing but also moments of surprising depth and reflection on the nature of fiction, reality and the creative process.
When Meteora outright admitted that the "real" world Sota lives in could also be a story told in a "higher" layer of reality, I knew this would be a show that does its premise justice rather then just using it for cheap thrills. It also brings up fascinating- and somewhat disturbing- questions on the morality of creating stories of suffering and despair (looking at you, Urobuchi) if you know they actually exist out there somewhere in the multiverse.
Of course, it's still not entirely clear whether the "gods" are even in fact truly creating the worlds in question, as opposed to merely describing parallel worlds that already exist. You could imagine either that certain creative minds are born more attuned to the wavelengths of other worlds (insert some pseudo-scientific explanation here), or that the act of describing itself establishes a connection between two worlds that existed independently of each other. If you were to view it in terms of a broader multiverse theory (like Tegmark's mathematical universe or Lewis' Modal Realism) then all possible worlds already exist and so every (consistent) story is true somewhere, after all.
...This is all probably looking at it way too closely, but the fact that the show's got me speculating this deeply says quite a lot about how fascinating the premise is.

I also wonder what role that girl who threw herself off the train platform in episode 1 is going to play... she even shows up in the OP so she's clearly important somehow...

re:creators: does plot armor exist in 'real' world?
like, a character's cause of death will be the weak point.
or gag manga's characters won't die.

Plot armor that depends on being a "main" character probably wouldn't work in a world where they're no longer recognized as such. However, other kinds of plot armor based on the genre of one's home series might still apply (like a Shonen brawler being able to call out their special attacks without interruption), though it's unclear how it'd clash against someone from, say, a gritty war story where Why Don't You Just Shoot Him? is in full play.
Of course, the (even more) meta answer is that of course plot armor exists because the "real" world is ultimately just another story being told by us and we sure as heck know Sota or Selesia aren't going to kick the bucket in the first episode. That's why analyzing shows that flirt with (or in this case, shatter with a titanium sledgehammer) the fourth wall like this can be such be a difficult (though enjoyable
The part about their deaths giving a clue to their weaknesses also reminds me a lot of Fate.
