Oh, and the soundtrack is bloody awesome for all of the games.

School Days... Rather, "Days series" rant
The series is technically called the "Day" series, but I think a lot of people actually don't know that, so I went with School Days in the title. But I felt the need to include the actual title of the series.
Please be warned that I will not be too pleasant in this rant... But do understand that I consider School Days a masterpiece.
Oh, and the soundtrack is bloody awesome for all of the games.

Kemono Friends Tatsuki Firing incident: My Thoughts
My thoughts? F*** you, Kadokawa.
Let me tell you, currently, in the anime industry, the staff is already being overworked. Look at the recent anime season. Over half of the anime showed clear and sometimes terrible animation quality declines by the second half of the season.
Story? Hardly. You got terrible plots like ReCreators, the most mundane crap like Fate/Apo, a whole bunch of stuff that were just there, and a few that were interesting.
And comes along this guy who literally revives a dead series by himself, shedding blood and tears, and now that the series is popular and makes money, you try to find an excuse and remove him?
Do you know what you did? You killed a 1-in-10 years level anime hit in one night. The kindness in that anime, the innocence, the fun. You corrupted it with this scandal. Even if this somehow has a good ending, the fact that underneath all of this is a greedy, slimy, screwed-up company is enough to greatly damage what Tatsuki rebuilt.
And it probably isn't even about money. Because no one sane that cared about money would remove Tatsuki. No, there is more likely another deep cause inside Kadokawa, be it jealousy or whatelse that wants to remove the "outsider" to take the entire thing for itself.
And if Tatsuki did not risk his entire career to go against the corporate giant bully, it was likely Kadokawa would have went out of their way to make sure he is painted as the traitor.
And don't give me finger-pointing that its all their fault, Kadokawa. Even if everything you said was true (and no one believes you, BTW), you had all the means to negotiate and come up with a solution that doesn't cut off your money tree.
And yes, another sad thing is that since this series was dead in the first place, it probably doesn't even "hurt" the company, as they are just back to where they started. No, only every single other person in this world lost something thanks to you.
And let me just say. I came into this anime before it became popular. I was trying to advertise it before it became popular, because I watched and realized that this was something magical. Incredible!
So yeah, I was fairly invested into this and am equally irritated that the poisonous fangs of some s***a** idiots ruined it.

2012 Season Fall Anime thoughts
So now that every anime of this season has aired, I have chosen what to watch this season.
Below are my choices and occasionally, reasons for why I don't plan to watch it.
If I ignore a series for both watch and not watch, that just means it absolutely doesn't matter to me.

AKB0048 Second Season Hinted!
There hasn't been any exciting anime news recently...
But at least with this, there will be one more thing to look forward to in 2013 (far!). I don't care about the real AKB, but this anime was definitely worth the watch. (Thoughts at usual place)
It doesn't actually say "Season 2", so I can't say it is confirmed, but I think it is. (What else could it be? <--Please not a real-live series!)

Game:
I completely forgot yesterday about it, but the sales came out for the week-
http://www.4gamer.net/games/117/G011794/20120711063/
To be honest, it wasn't that interesting of a week, with 3DS the usual steadiness and Vita the usual dropping. Etrian Odyssey 4 sold the most of all other games in the series for the starting week. I guess the advertisement and such did a good job.
Anime:
Anime this season have all aired, so I want to list the ones I plan to watch:

New Anime/Game Thoughts (6/10/12)
Not much interesting info today!
Game:
Random though -
Still grinding for FE Kakusei's support conversations... Finally finished Tiamo's, but still a bit to go... Boring that all of the kid to father conversations are the same.
Recently thought about buying the DSi-ware Jaseiken Necromancer, because it seems like a good ol' RPG, but I am still playing other games and there are also games coming up, so hesitating on that.
Anime:
Saki Side-A episode 9 - Subara! (what?)
AKB0048 episode 7 - Real voice actor group gets lot of screen time. You know, this is probably the most interesting anime this season

Acchi Kocchi episode 10 - Probably the most entertaining episode so far (especially the bear/Faust thing), not saying much though
Natsuiro Kiseki episode 10 - God Rock being an idiot again
From Nikkei, but parodies are being looked at by the committee to determine if it should still be allowed. Of course, nothing is decided yet, but if they forbid parodies, all of those otaku-aiming parody-only light novels will die. Hm? Maybe a good thing then...

Anime:
Kore ha Zombie Desuka Season 2 Last Episode - Lots of silly comedy, no plot. Kind of like the first season's last episode, but because the previous episode didn't solve anything like the 1st season, it was a lot more "?"...
Final Thoughts at Animesuki like always.
Game:
Saw Nintendo's 3DS E3 presentation, but it wasn't bad. No surprises to get excited about, but it was interesting seeing how some of the games announced worked, especially Paper Mario.

New Anime and Game Info/Thoughts (6/5/12)
I think it would be better if I fused the two together. Prevents too many short posts...
Anime:
Queen's Blade Rebellion 10 - Quite serious this episode and little fanservice. Protagonist could change to dark form by will?
Game:
The rumor on 3DS's revision turned out to be false, denied by Nintendo themselves.
And yet again, Nikkei tried to spread a fake rumor about Nintendo.
http://www.nintendo.co.jp/corporate/release/2012/120605.html
This is why you should always take sources from them with a pinch of salt. This is why Nintendo does the Nintendo Directs, so the mass media cannot twist everything they say.
