For Fate/Stay Night: I am just planning on doing 3 review for it, one at the beginning, middle and the end.
This way I have more time to review other and more recent anime.
I will be starting to watch Btooom! and Tonari No Kaibutsu-kun on tomorrow and will be reviewing these by episode.
Every other anime I am currently watching will not be disrupted by the addition of these few.
Everyday I will try my best to post at least 2 reviews so that you guys wont be without a review each day!

Accel World
Anime Rating: 8/10
I will be doing a full review of Accel World as a whole instead of by episode since I don't really feel like wasting time on Accel World by watching all the episodes again.
First Impressions.......how does the least popular kid in school go out with the most popular and beautiful girl at school? Not being mean or anything but I have to say that this was a major turn off for me in the beginning. I mean honestly you would expect Haru to rather be a lanky shy guy but he's like a blob.
Well I am done with my rant about Haru. For Accel World, I really like the concept of a VR world where time is practically stopped and the producers could have went a long way with it, however I found that they didn't execute it well enough.
All these battles and leveling up where intriguing however the truth is that sometimes it just got boring, I found myself just skimming through the later episodes of Accel World cause the arc containing Nomi was extended to long. Also the combat just started growing dull as not to many interesting new methods of battle were introduced. I did like the incarnation system but it never seemed like Haru really maximized it to its full potential so it wasn't that good.
Overall though I must say that I enjoyed my time watching this anime and that I really look forward to a possible season 2 of Accel World once SAO is done.
Kokoro Connect: Episode 13
Episode Rating: 9/10
Kokoro Connect has progressively gotten better. At the beginning, you don't really understand the characters to well, but as you progress, you get to watch all the struggles these close friends go through.
In general, I think this series is successful because you get to see how far their relationship has grown. For example, how secluded Inaba was originally compared to now, where she openly expresses her love to Taichi almost everyday. Seeing how they will continue to grow truly makes me want to watch more!
Now, on to the episode at hand. This episode itself focused on the relationship between Iori Nagase and her mother. In my opinion, this was one of those face palm endings yet again. Basically Iori has been dealing with her multiple step fathers for the past few years so that her mom can be happy. However, when she finally gets the guts to talk about this with her mom, it actually turns out that her mom was also dealing with multiple husbands so Iori never felt left out cause she didn't have a dad..............really? I mean come on, basically they each just wasted years of their lives dealing with ignorant dicks as dads/husbands for each other when it wasn't really necessary. If I were in there positions I guess I would be happy to, but I would probably have the biggest derp face on for at least 10 seconds!
I also like seeing how much more annoying it was now that the transformations were at random. They really had to make sure nothing bad happened at the wrong time!
My feelings about Heartseed from the very beginning was that he is actually trying to improve the relationship between all the StuCS members. I don't think he is trying to harm them, like how he was able to have Iori come to her own decision to stay at the present time with her friends.
Overall this was a pretty good episode, but I have to say that the face palm moment deducted 1 point cause it was just to sudden to be true honestly, I mean they should have seen or noticed that both of them didn't enjoy it even if they were putting on a front, although I did rather enjoy the part where Iori's mom kicks the guy out! Looking forward to watching episode 14 tomorrow!
Sword Art Online: Episode 17
Episode Rating: 7/10
Honestly, I must say that the ending of the episode was just so creepy, I almost wanted to cry...but we'll get to that later.
Kirito has a new helper now! The girl Kirito saved was called Leafa and she guides Kirito to the nearest city. She also teaches Kirito how to fly without the assisted controller.
In my opinion, the World Tree seems to be like the whole world of Sword Art Online basically. You go up a level and at the end of each floor there is a boss. Also I like the idea of the players getting an upgrade when they reach the top of the world tree as it gives them something to strive for.
In regards to Asuna on top of the World Tree......I wanna kill Sugou so badly. He basically just trapped her up there and is waiting for their marriage, and this episode also reveals his evil plan hidden behind Alfheim Online. I don't really care about that right now though, I only want to beat his ass cause he tried to touch Asuna up! Sugou is obviously crazy in the head, to marry someone that is unconscious and to try and control people's minds is just absurd. I am pretty sure that he is the most hated character in SAO at the moment, even more so than the Army in SAO
This episode contained one of the biggest face palms I have ever had. LEAFA IS KIRITO's COUSIN SUGU??????? LIKE WTF? Honestly and it seems like Leafa has a crush on Kirito as well (which is pretty apparent as he leaves the bar). We are witnessing some direct incest in the making! I gotta say though that just that part was able to throw me off the whole episode so it was kinda disappointing as I was looking forward to see whether or not Kirito was loyal to Asuna even though she wasn't there so a really bad choice for the writers there.
I must say that overall this episode was pretty disappointing. The writers basically led us on with the Leafa and Kirito thing and then totally smashed it down. Of course, Sugou touching up Asuna was no fun either. I however do look forward to how this Leafa and Kirito thing will go even though we all obviously know it is going nowhere unless they decide to incorporate incest in SAO. Not that bad of an episode, but could have been way better in my opinion!
K-ON! : Episode 1
Episode Rating 10/10
I must say, I have a feeling I could get addicted to this.
Basically K-ON starts off in a high school where one of the main protagonists, Yui just entered high school She is looking for a club to join but can't decide on one until she hears about the Light Music Club where she meets Ritsu, Mio and Mugi, the other main characters. They all decide to form a band!
For a first episode, this series has already gotten me hooked, with the great humour and the overload of cuteness, I must say that it has really hit my soft spot!
Yui seems like the generic "klutz" you would have in an anime. The one who is always tripping but is still the most optimistic in the group (and she is very cute). She also seems lacking in smarts and is also somewhat shy when it comes to meeting new people. I look forward to seeing how she changes when she truly gets comfortable in the group.
Ritsu is one of those happy go lucky people that is always energetic and seems to have an endless supply of energy. She doesn't seem to like to give up until the last minute as well. I believe however that she has a soft side because of how she reacted when Mio was about to leave.
Mio is the classic shy girl in every anime. She is almost the complete opposite of Ritsu. She has a calm head and I can kinda see her as a potential leader of the group instead of Ritsu. Other than that I still can't tell to much about her character as she wasn't really focused on this episode.
Mugi.........her eyebrows...........huh? Yes her eyebrows seem really misplaced, I don't really get why they designed her that way, but I guess they don't look all that bad. She probably comes from a very rich family since she brought all that china ware. I also think that her family is very strict on her since she had fast food for the very first time in this episode!
Overall, this episode was very good, I'm tempted to not do any more reviews for the rest of the day just to finish watching it but I'll stay focused. I must say the I look forward to watching the rest of the episodes cause I really enjoyed the setting and the main characters so far!
