inori betray my heart break 
every episode 1 mood

Someone got a stealth bomber kill streak , and it aint shu...

ever since Hare died... no point watching already... No one comfort shu anymore...

Hare > Inori

you mean collectable cancer right?

I am the void of my heart
Inori is my girlfriend
And Gai is my man
I have created over a thousand voids
Unknown to Hare
Nor known to Ayase
Have withstood pain to create many voids
Yet these hands will never hold anything
So as I pray
UNLIMITED VOID WORKS

I'll admit, I'm not watching anime much for fanservice nowadays.

For story, my picks would be Another and Symphogear, mainly because Another is a rare horror anime that's gotten pretty competent. Symphogear meanwhile has a really intriguing story going along with it.

I'm frankly just watching Natsume Yuujinchou Shi for the heck of it, since i've already watched the first three seasons and even if the stories are getting repetitive, it's always fun to see what new yokai gets introduced. Same with Last Exile 2 as well... even though the story is all over the place.

Most of the rest, I really watch for the character drama. Ano Natsu, Aquarion Evol, Moretsu, Rinne, Chihayafuru and Nisemonogatari are great examples for nice character drama even though I can pretty much predict how the story is going to be like. Good production values from the shows I mentioned also help.

I mean after over 5 years of anime watching as my main source of entertainment, I can say I've seen quite a bit of the same, but hey I still haven't gotten bored of it yet. There's always some aspect or another in shows that keeps me coming back. I've found out that just choosing anime based on fanservice or story will really make you miss out on a lot of interesting gems if you don't try to even watch them. Comedy anime are a great example, for instance.

Yea at least your post shared my view similarly, fanservice/story or not, I view an anime as a whole, and get the message/feel the anime trying to express.

Someone mentioned me as hipster, but hey, I did follow the mainstream too, like hatsune miku etc, it is popular in Japan, but not in Malaysia(or even SEA) so its consider as 50-50...

Well back to GC, epi 20 seems explain many parts on how the pandemic starts and their past relationships.

Most epic moment I got the chill:

As if swords from UBW are original from Shirou?

Ayase still not dead yet. >:(

I love Ayase. I think she's probably the best character in the series. The reason I want her to die is because her death will be a good WTF moment to shake up the plot and make it awesome. Just because some characters need to die doesn't mean it's a bad character. When a character that has gained the affection of the audience dies e.g. Mami or Delfringer, the scenario is shaken so much that it suddenly becomes like HOLY SHIT EPIC.
