I couldn't resist.Well, having low expectations for some things could make one end up liking it more than if one were to come to it with high expectations...

What does getting spoiled about who dies have to do with that type of expectation...I couldn't resist.

You spoiled that Rihoko's ending was disappointing when NKB didn't want to know which routes were disappointing.What does getting spoiled about who dies have to do with that type of expectation...
And also the fact that you feel that she has low expectations of not dying, maybe you'll find it much more enjoyable if that's not what happens in episode ten was what I was going for.
And don't even know why you wrote such a long paragraph anyway to reply to what Sleepy said.
If someone told me someone in Gurren Lagann or something was badass in the latest episode, I'd think they did something cool instead of think that the character had died.
I didn't even think of that possibility and I still haven't watched episode 10 yet, so that better not be true. lol

I never said anyone died. You just misunderstood. In fact, from that response, it would seem you didn't understand a lot of what I was saying.
I said that with Sleepy's comment, I know that
Also, you are comparing a change in expectation due to an opinion with a change due to a fact, and more or less arguing that both affect a person to the same degree.
Me, and others, saying that the Hihoko arc was a disappointment is a personal opinion. It may make NKB initially think negatively on the arc before watching it, but it's no evidence that it'll make him not like it. Given how people's opinions always vary, he might end up loving that arc; who knows... The matter of fact is, an opinion of whether one likes a show or not can't really be what you call a "spoiler", as it simply deals with personal taste (unless the opinion itself leads to a conclusion of a fact, such as Sleepy's comment). (And I never said that the ending of the Rihoko arc was disappointing; I said that I found the whole arc to be generally so.)
Whereas, knowing the fate of a certain character beforehand is an established fact. It doesn't matter my taste or whatever if I know such a fact; I would know that such a thing will happen, thus ruining the enjoyment of any surprise associated with such a fact.
EDIT: And about your TTGL comparison (which again, is not really applicable since I never assumed that anyone died). The thing is, I already know that...
[collapse=Madoka spoiler]...some of the girls are going to die (mostly due to this thread, and some other places); I just don't know who (with the exception of Mami) or when they do. Therefore, knowing that someone will live for at least so long would be a spoiler.[/collapse]
[collapse=Spoiler of the end of Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann]Just imagine if you knew that Kittan was going to die, but don't know when, but then someone said that Kittan did something awesome in episode 25. Now you'll sit through 24 episodes, knowing that he's going to be surviving any reckless thing he does. It's not quite the same situation as with Madoka, since the example has you knowing that someone specific dies, but the point about the latter is the same.[/collapse]
I said that with Sleepy's comment, I know that
Homura DOESN'T die in the first 9 episodes; that does NOT imply that she does or doesn't die in episode 10 (I don't even know if she does or not). I'm just saying that now if I watch Madoka, I will know that she's not going to be dying in the first 9 episodes. (Whereas before, I might continue to ponder about the potential of her dying episode after episode, which builds anticipationt, given that others have died, already.)

If we did this for every anime that had people who die, we'd have to put spoiler tags on every noun when we would discuss episode numbers which would make every post look like mad libs. lol (kidding kidding don't get all 
on me)
And fine, my reasoning is now null after not being applicable to what you really meant.
It was just the way you asked Sleepy and everyone else in such an indirect (and unintentionally insincere way) to not post things that may give away points when a character is still alive, which annoyed me.
I get where you're coming though, so I'll be careful from now on.
Sorry if you were offended, PC.
[collapse="Madoka ep 10 thoughts after watching it"]Episode 10 was amazing. At this rate, by the time the series finishes up, I'm probably going to rate it a 9 or 10.
Also, Shaft really wanted to make Homura look like Hanekawa didn't they. lol[/collapse]
Edit: And if someone told me that a route had a disappointing ending in an anime, I'd immediately think
.
Intuition from playing lots of VNs I guess. lol

I'm planning on marathoning Madoka tonight.
Anyway, I hope that everyone in danger from the earthquake/tsunami will be ok, and my prayers are going out to them.
On a positive note, a Japanese friend of mine is ok! ^_^

Haha, sorry, someone else had posted the actual gif earlier, so I figured that I could post that.
LOL yea I can see why xD.
Sae... was umm yea....
And omg, I was so mad at Rihoko's arc. She was one of my favorite characters and she got that arc I raged at my computer.
Though, I watched it out of order so I ended up watching Ai's arc next then

LOL They sure do...
The last arc is freaking amazing, so if you decide to take another pause from Index II again later, don't, as that'll mean you're delaying the epicness to come.

I was hoping they'd give us a release date in that trailer.
They haven't given us any news on when it'll be out except to expect it sometime in 2011. lol
Looks great though. I just wish that it was out already.
