Well they're specifically sister schools in that they're all-girl schools. So there were generally a fair number of females about after classes let out.

I generally find the whole thing less confusing over here. Elementary -> Middle -> High. That's pretty much school. College and University are certainly different here, but as far as education goes, neither one really leads to the other. You can just as easily take postgrad courses at a college as you can a university, which is largely why I (and most Americans) interchange the two- there's no real functional downside to it. More than likely, if you're good and plans don't change, you'll get your bachelors at the same place that you started your education, and depending on the reputation, you might go to that same school for grad schooling.

I live in the UK, which has a system of Primary -> Secondary -> College -> University. Only the first two are mandatory. Generally you get GCSEs in Secondary School, A-Levels in College, then everything else (undergrad, postgrad, PGCE, doctorates, etc.) you do at University. The reason I say University is dependant on College is because your results generally determine whether you're accepted or not...although this applies to College as well; you need to get your forecasted GCSE results. Or you did in my day, at least. They screwed about a lot with the system and exam marking a few years back so it might have all changed now.

Think of High School as a combination of Secondary School and College here, more or less...at least in terms of the time you spend in it. Personally, I'm glad I got out of Secondary two years earlier by American standards, because it was a bloody horrible place. xD

Yep, that's definitely Fate/Zero. I hated that series. But I did like Irisviel, the one driving. And the amazing Kalafina second OP <3

I just don't like Urobutcher, and he wrote Fate/Zero, haha. I did enjoy Unlimited Blade Works, though.
...and yeah, DS2 is awful. It doesn't have quite as much creativity in enemy design as the first game, and it's laughably simple for a game that boasts "Prepare to Die" for a catchphrase.

Oh, 2 - 0. Looks like the title race won't be ending tonight.

Not really a fan of Urobuchi either., had fun with Phantom though. The only thing more jarring than the difference between op 1 and op 2 was Cal's physical development. Don't think they explained it so I can only assume it was SCIENCE, puberty can't hit that hard. I assume the timeskip wasn't long as they're parading as school kids.

I can see how Urobuchi can be hit or miss. I am pretty excited to see how Ufotable's Heaven's Feel adaptation turns out.

Dunno about simple, so far. DS2 went from zero to a hundred in no time. The enemies of the first non-tutorial area are bonkers. Their attacks are hard to predict, they take ages to kill, and they pull bullshit like turning towards you mid-swing and having weapon hitboxes way larger than their blades. Doesn't help that the controls don't feel as tight and the losing max health upon hollowing thing is just icing on the cake. The first game wasn't easy, sure, but it felt like a well-balanced, satisfying experience throughout. Especially in Undead Burg where the enemies were easy to learn and left you some space (and souls) to start levelling up. Two hours in and I'm not getting that here. My frustration when enemies follow you for miles and aren't repelled by bonfires. It's like they just used the "lel it's dark souls it's hard" meme as an excuse to throw in as much unfair bullshit as they could.

I have high hopes for Heaven's Feel...I adore Illya. I was very unhappy with how she was handled in UBW...Kirei too. It made Fate/Zero all the more irritating for me, because Urobutcher spent all that time building him up and he was ultimately a very minor character. Voiced by Crispin Freeman, the God of English Voice Actors. Damnit.

Never enough anime! Good anime, anyway. I keep watching awful shows right now, I need another big thing to get hooked on =/

Oh yeah, as a native English speaker, I guess you would get into dubs.
As for Illya and Kirei, well... yeah, I guess they didn't have the largest of roles in the UBW route. I love 'em as well. The mapo tofu scene sticks with me, forever. Sincerely hope it gets animated.

You got a MAL or somethin'? Lemme have a look. There's got to be something you haven't seen.

I generally watch a show dubbed if it has a voice actor I like, but I'm quite happy to watch a show with subs as well. But I'm a rare breed amongst anime/JRPG fans, apparently. Honestly, I'm happy just being entertained; I'm not interested in how something is to the original or whatever else.

This is my MAL. As a general rule, I don't watch stuff as it's airing because I hate the waiting between weeks. It doesn't include stuff I've dropped, but yeah, there is plenty I've not seen. I have very eclectic tastes, so it's hard to know what I'll enjoy ahead of time. Kinda pot luck.

I'm a native English speaker and never really got into dubs. A lot of people that watch toons here get straight into subs thanks to streaming services and not really much on TV.

Leicester have done it. For those of you that don't into football they were 5000-1 at the beginning of the season. A lot of people thought they'd be getting relegated, me included.
