I'm not one to sit through an episode of anime if I don't find it interesting.

Re: WINTER SEASON 2010/11: WELP.
And that is what makes us human. Unlike those beastly androids!
Fractale 1: Well I found this to be pretty interesting, with a future set in the past with human surrogates mostly replacing flesh and bone, and sky-pirates. Yup. Also, what I found to be quite is that everything is well animated, and showing the gestures people make when talking were a nice touch rather than just talking heads. Not sure about though.

Re: WINTER SEASON 2010/11: WELP.
Squareface Story 2: Only more mysteries at this point, but at least we "know" what is causing the Sayornara zetsubou sensei OP to crop up. To me this seems less of a Magical girl lagann, and more of a Magical girl Drakengard+Faust.
PS cat-rabbit is totally satan.
EDIT: German on the wall
Yumekui Merry 2: This episode gets bonus points for the main character having The Mayor from Arakawa as the main character's dad, but minus points for having a walk-in-on-peeps-having-a-bath scene, and the episode almost ending mid-sentence. Also

Re: WINTER SEASON 2010/11: WELP.
GOSICK 2: Well, this certainly got retarded with the inclusion of about a dozen or so of the worst anime tropes. Also, I really want to say that it seems like there's whitewashing with regards to Japanese history from around this period, but it's hard to say which war they are talking about. (If it's the second world war, then minus like a billon points). It probably is not all that important, but it is something that annoys the hell out of me. I'll give it one more episode to stop being dumb!

Re: WINTER SEASON 2010/11: WELP.
Wandering Son 1: So, it turns out there's like 33 manga chapters preceding this and we've been plonked right in the middle of the story with very little bearing as to what the relationships between the characters are or WHO they are. This is kind of solved in the first episode where you learn what's what, but at the cost of getting to know the characters a little better. The music feels really hammy 'cause all they do is really depressing tunes over and over, and it makes everything really depressing and dull. Also, the protagonists seem to lack... something? Personality, amiableness, some kind spark that makes it hard for me to empathise with them. So yeah, here's hoping we see more of Basketball girl in the next three episodes!
This is going to be 11 episodes, which really sucks unless it's getting a second season.

Is this a Magical girl?? 2: Please oh please don't have this become a harem. Also: vampire ninjas.
Edit: Remember kids, break dancing is always a good way to break the ice!
Level E: I'm getting a real Astrofighter sunred vibe from this, which is a good thing. The MC becomes awesome in this episode, and... what's this? A female lead that isn't objectified via fanservice (moe or otherwise)??? and she's actually a pretty handy, likeable character? Oh the nineties, this will never sell!

hourou musuko 2: WOW TAKATSUKI SURE IS GREAT
YEAH SHE SURE IS
MAN I WISH I COULD BE AS COOL AS SHE IS
TOTALLY DUDER
for like 20 minutes! The only saving graces were Chi who is awesome and brief sparks of personality from the protagonists. Which means Chi'll die in episode eight. Also jesus christ that soundtrack was written by someone who has premium honey-glazed ham for hands

Re: WINTER SEASON 2010/11: WELP.
Dream Eater Merry 3: welp, I think most people will drop this because it suffers from the same problems, pacing or otherwise that have been present from the start, although navel shots are at an all time low. I'm giving it one more episode because I'm still interested in where this is going, albeit it is waning.
Edit: Also yep, his dad is The Mayor

Re: WINTER SEASON 2010/11: WELP.
It really seems to be all over place. Episode 2 was barely coherent because it went really quickly through the important stuff and lingered on the filler with seemingly no rhyme or reason to the direction of the episode. 3 is more cohesive with its direction but it lingers waaay to long on that filler, and to be honest the fight was kind of weak (this is probably just me though). But hey, at least the dream scapes change from encounter to encounter, which is always a nice touch.

Some interesting speculation on the changes to the OP (apparently this may actually because SHAFT don't finish their ops on time). Big spoilers, and click for larger versions!

Re: WINTER SEASON 2010/11: WELP.
Two bottom rows look straight up terrible, and there's maybe 4, 5 things in the other three that stand out. Although I did say this about winter season, but bottom left of the chart really drags it down.
ANYWAY
Gosick 3: if the mystery disintegrates into bloody violence every time, along with Tom Clancy-esque conspiracy theories, I may keep watching this!
Also, Monochrome (1st Star driver maiden's song) is out!

Re: WINTER SEASON 2010/11: WELP.
Other shows this season with competent and/or useful male protagonists that get into fights:
Star Driver
Level E
Fractale
Kore Wa Zombie Desu Ka
All of those are better than GOSICK, by the way.
Also, he linked the chart right here.

Re: WINTER SEASON 2010/11: WELP.
The point I had was that in GOSICK the Protag was expected to be more like that of a harem anime or along the lines of ToraDora. Even Shana took OHGOD SO LONG before the protag could hold his own.

Dream eater Merry 4: Schizophrenia the anime.
Useless McSquareface 4: COME ON ALREADY! They're really dragging the magical girl?? shtick out, and it's starting to test my patience. That said it was still a pretty good episode, with a mind bending witch. It's just really annoying to have a protagonist that has zero drive for about a third of the series.
