This one started off okay, had some okay-ish ideas.  But it had some pretty poor parts in it too - IMO, the dramatic in this really didn't work well, and this show seems to degrade pretty quickly towards the end, with the last episode being really really poo poo.
I'll give it 3 stars for a reasonable start, though I didn't enjoy this that much.

3/5 ~ 6/10 << look like wee agree on this one Zinga.

Lots of places are pretty "uhhh... right", but I though it was decent overall.  Dunno, 7/10.  

I thought the ending (episode 13) was sort of nice, and this is where I think watching all at once and watching an episode per week makes a difference.  Watching all at once carries the mood over from episode to episode.

Or maybe I'm getting soft from all the shitty anime I've been watching recently, so anything not so shitty becomes good....

Obviously when Key supervised their instruction they forgot about how perfect Kyoto Animation were in creating true, genuine scenes of meaning.. whereas Angel Beats is mostly empty and void of meaning.

Using emotion just makes stuff hit and miss.

Lol "how perfect Kyoto Animation were in creating true, genuine scenes of meaning".  Those scenes you spoke off should be at least 80% credited to the back story the anime is based on (that is, Clannad, Kanon, etc), rather than the animation studio.

That being said, Clannad better not disappoint me, because I plan on watching that soon, and I obviously expect a lot out of it, because everyone says it's so good and all...

This is non chronological story about mafia families, alchemists, and immortality.  And most importantly, batshit insane people being extremely awesome and killing stuff all over the place.

Was overall decent, but sort of fell short of expectations.  I was expecting it to blow me away, seeing how my sister said it's one of her favourite animes ever... well sadly, that didn't really happen.  7.5 probably.

Oh yeah, and the comedy couple (Isaac + Miria) piss me off no end.  I mean you're in the middle of an awesome scene where shit's happening, and suddenly, you swap to those two fools, and it's like, kung FFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU....

For some unknown reason, I also watched Queen's Blade.  As I expected, this has like no story, and is just a whole lot of fights and fanservice.  Some fights were good, but overall, the show's pretty mediocre.  5/10.

Finishing off Mahou Tsukai ni Taisetsu na Koto (aka. Someday's Dreamers) and then going on to Bakemonogatari.

Maybe also finish some old stuff that I've stalled for way too long (Shakugan no Shana, Sora Kakeru Shoujo).
