Soul Eater comes to mind as a show with AWFUL filler.

Erika is a little annoying and Tsubomi seems like she's trying way to hard to be cute. They seem like they'll get better as the series goes on so I'll just count it as a nitpick for now.

All in all, not half bad. Heartcatch seems like an enjoyable show and I'm looking forward to seeing what it has to offer.

I always took Tsubomi for more of a female Ryotarou.

and yeah, Dark has an awesome design, I actually got her Figuart just last week. She's cool, but her dress hinders leg articulation quite a bit, but that's neither here nor there. Wait until you get to episode 34...because there is an epic fight involving her. Heck, any time she shows up, you can expect an epic fight.

So... she's a souless shell of a character with no personality?

The only filler arc I ever enjoyed was the Bountou arc in Bleach - not that it was good, even almost a decade later I remember how poor the animation was - but it was my first instance with a full blown filler arc. I didn't know about the horrors of filler back then so I watched it all.

What I got was a whole new story, a whole new set of villains and in my opinion a much more interesting set of powers than what we get these days, like Quincy where their powers are now just fucking anything as long as it's not the bows they started with, and were always shown using, in flashbacks.

When did we start talking about Tsukasa?

I kid, I kid.

No...like she's all like "I'm shy and stuff and I want to change!" I feel she did that better than Ryotarou did.

Oh yeah, they get all DBZ sometimes. It's awesome!

Erika is meant to be annoying at the start, but she improves very fast, regarding Tsubomi... come on, she's adorable.
And yes she also improves.

Finished Fate/Zero and loved it. Now on to Spice and Wolf.

You should definitely check out the Pharaoh's Memories arc then. It is episodes 199-224. It is a great arc, answers nearly all of our questions, adds something new to the gimmick, and gives the series a great finale.

Puella Magi Madoka Magica Episode 4: Well feeling sad about Mami for half the episode and feeling more sadness and emotions. I enjoy Homura and Madoka's interaction with each other a lot. I figured that was going to be Sayaka's wish, and she looks really awesome as a magical girl and I love her sword. Kyouko looks like a lot of fun can't wait to see more of her. I loved that Madoka had the courage to help save everyone even if she has a lot of self-doubt who feeling week at least saving others helped get past that. I'm excited to see more.
