Not-so-patiently waiting for this season's shows to conclude so that I can binge watch them. Can't stand the thought of juggling 4/5 shows each week and trying to keep track of what was happening.

Did watch the first episode of Seven Deadly Sins yesterday. OMG...the show is absolutely f*cking terrible. Everything--the horrible animation style, lame attempts at humor, etc.--is simply awful.

I need to find something to watch and fast...I'm doing all of my exercises while watching anime and I've managed to drop about four inches from my waist since May...

I hear the most about Atrek war or w/e it's called, but most of the attention seems to be on Order is a Rabbit.

Otherwise, this is the first season I'm hearing very little from.

Seraph of the End is another one making waves. I thought Noragami would get more attention.

Anime De Training Ex!

Anime should do more crops-over, period. xxxHolic and Tsubasa's cross overs were some of the best moments, and both shows should seriously continue.

In fact, I should re-watch Tsubasa and xxxHolic.

Seriously...if I'm just going to be sitting on my @ss while I watch anime for hours on end I figured I might as well do something useful. Top of the hour means it's time for a smoke, followed by a set on the rowing machine (125 today, adding 5 to each set per day from here on out) while I watch. Repeat each hour on the hour.

Just watched the first two episodes of Sword Art Online. So far I'm unimpressed, but I'll give it another couple of episodes to catch my interest.

I also finished Testament of a Sister Devi s1l:

I do love it, really, I do, but if you took out the ecchi, would it still be a good show?

I wouldn't think so, and that blue hair chick mimic personality annoys me endlessly.

Still my favorite ending scene to a show (when Jin makes his displeasure known to the Demon Lord for targeting his son.)

now watching RWBY S2

First impressions: Cute characters.

and wow that food fight

and it's surprisingly deep for being apparently shallow, this show might be looks can be deceiving. I should of probably re-watched S1, I remember liking it but not being overly impressed.

Testament story has too many convenient quirks in the good guys favors, just so they can keep the school-life living together scenario.

That demon could of just put a ice shard while they pee'd in the school at any time, and Maria was supposedly working for the bad guys, but how does that make sense? How did the red head get away in the first place then? Wasn't it the demon who attacked her Maria was working for? Why did she run instead of handing her over and protecting her mother?

And then we found out those two parents actually ran an orphanage - where the **** did those kids go, lol.

which makes kinda sense, look at the blue hair girl, she's as stupid as they come. She just mimics and wants what the other girls have already done, her only real identity trait is stealing everyone else's, and she's ******* useless in a fight.

Maria is apparently OP as ****, but has been hiding this fact until now because apparently she always worked for the bad guys.

And the show confuses what the neutral faction in the demons is or who they are. The last boss guy was apparently a member, so can you really trust the rest? What if they only fell in line because of the immense power of the previous king?

They blur the lines, never really throwing us a bone on what's going on around them, because they're too busy getting naked or talking random crap.

I love RWBY. It's on S3 right now, and OMG the animation for S3 is beautiful.

Fair points, Everything.

But the Blue Hair girl, there's no defending her character. It's because of her background with the hero that she makes no sense. Even if she was feeling left behind even though she feels a strong bond, you don't replicate what others are already doing.

And it's not just something she does once, or even twice. But time and time again, she sees another girl do something, and now she wants too. She lacks any real independent thought, and her only rebellious actions shouldn't of needed time to occur - the entire reason she became strong was to help him. Here's her opportunity, and she didn't know what to do. Because she's borderline the worst childhood friend I have ever seen.

Poorly designed, fleshed, and her motivations don't actually motivate her. Originally they do when she confronted Mio at the start - then goes downhill quick the more she's explained.

I love every other character, I really do, even the Demon is awesome, but the blue hair chick ruins the show with her presence.

Again, I'll disagree. Where she shows initiative:
-hugging Basara in front of the class after he introduces himself
-taking him to the coffee shop
-coming to Mio's aid after she runs away
-asking Basara out on a date
-using the sleeping powder on Basara
-going against the Hero clan and trying to protect Mio and Maria
-wanting to form a contract with Basara
-demanding that her contract by the same type as Mio
-staying behind to help their escape from the monster

I think what you're focusing on are almost exclusively her inter-personal relationships. It's clear that the show intends for her to be something of a "blank slate" character (think most any AI girl in an anime) that doesn't know how to express her feelings; however, I'd argue that she's much closer to Maria in terms of personality--she clearly has the hots for Basara (even mentioning that their hugs in the past were little more than an excuse to have Basara fondle her rear) and seems to take enjoyment out of teasing Mio with that fact. So whereas you dismiss her actions as mimicry, I see them as devious attempts at "one-upmanship" to woo Basara over to her. Look no further than when she finds out about Mio's contract--Mio is obviously embarrassed by the situation while Yuki gets excited and looks forward to such an interaction...and doesn't hesitate to let Mio know how eager she is to be doing that sort of thing with Basara.

Honestly, I think the problem stems from the fact that Yuki just isn't given a clear personality of her own. The show treats her as little more than the rival lover when it comes to dealing with the other members of the harem (though Maria is more than happy to encourage her.) In the end, the biggest problem may be the simple fact that Maria already owns the "sexy troublemaker" role and Yuki is left with the scraps.
