Ruri Dragon is probably the most popular series KyoAni has adapted since Haruhi, despite the frequent hiatuses its sales are quite high and the anime announcements has brought back up sales of the manga again, so this is quite the opposite of their usual outings of adapting lesser known series from small time publishers considering this is their first Shiuesha adaptation.

No one actually ever read/cared about the original nichijo or city manga until they made it into an anime

Both of those series flopped so people still didn't care after.

I thought A Silent Voice was decently big before the movie came out albeit not as big as Haruhi, but then again I still say A Silent Voice is one of the few if not only case where the KyoAni adaptation is the weaker version.

It was relatively big or at least had notable acclaim for its story when it was release but it terms of popularity its not as big as Ruri currently is now. People are really divided on that adaptation huh? I liked it despite all the omissions from the manga.

I thought the movie was fine but I felt like it had the same problem as the Blue Giant movie,
it felt more like a recap movie where from a 12-24 episode series then an actual movie.

Yeah it does feel like theres entire character arcs missing and only the MC gets closure by the end of it. Its a very abbreviated version of the manga.

i really wouldn't recommend strange fake
it's just power level autism in a setting where that's absurd retardation

It definitely seems to have a troubled production cycle. I first saw Fate back when Zero came out, but I was a teenager and didn't understand anything about the series. Only recently with the Heaven's Feel movies did I get into it legitimately and watched everything from StayNight to Kaleid to UBW and liked a lot of what I saw. I'd much prefer a SN reboot made by ufotable but since they've been stuck in the Demon Slayer mines for years I won't hold my breath.

Honestly I'm only really into the dynamic between the girl and Lionhart Saber, so I'll be watching it for that.

sad but true
i blame fgo more than i ever will the original for having h-scenes

The original's h-scenes might as well been memes. FGO though did have some god tier waifus like Ereshkigal. But the more it leaned into multiple realities the worse it got. Like I really liked Fate Samurai Remnant, but a lot of it really depends on playing FGO for multiple plot beats.

Ishtar is a woman to fuck,
Ereshkigal is a woman to marry.

you're describing rin, yes
the bitch in rin and the future yamato nadeshiko in rin you see on full display in that f/ha scene where they're stuck in the multi-dimensional and multi-temporal treasure chest

Mind telling us why? I haven't watched those but I've heard they're well received.

I can't say anything about Baccano, I didn't watch it; but the first Durara frustrated me immensely. The story goes nowhere after a lot of 'misterious' interactions between the characters, the big twist about the Dollars' leader can be seen from a mile away and the girl with the knife is boring as shit.

This is more like a personal nitpick, but I don't like the 'it's our normal world but some people inexplicably have super powers'. I felt like I wasted time watching it.
 
Finished watching VOTOMS. Unfortunately, the ending kinda blows. At first, it's a gritty war story with a stand-in for the War of 100 years with mecha and spaceships, then the scale is made bigger by having a planet that lasted for 3000 years with hypertech, and spaceships being around for 200 years (and yet, in all this time, not much has changed, not even cybernetics).
Chirico goes from a competent soldier to a literal Overman chosen by an evil AI that's not an actual AI, but rather the uploaded minds of a council of Evil Old Men (TM). I know that Jap narratives must include twist/s, but this one has multiple: first, there's a Secret Society of Totally-Not Nazis scheming behind the scenes, then there are super-soldiers, then the MC is confirmed to be a super-super soldier instead of being just that good, and meant to be the God-Emperor of the Universe, despite no evidence of him being grown in a vat or anything. The entire galaxy unites against the MC after he seemingly goes crazy and declares himself the King of everything, and Wiseman, the AI, reveals he wants a state of permanent war to control history, and may be behind the war that lasted for a century, if not more. Then of course the MC reveals he was playing along to kill Wiseman, which he does in a way ripped off from 2001 ( including black monoliths, way before EVA did it). The collateral damage he causes in his attempt to confront and kill God causes ANOTHER war to start, and then the MC decides to freeze himself and his waifu and travel through space in a space capsule, hoping that some day, humanity will evolve beyond war. Despite having started a very bloody war by himself and having a kill-count of hundreds if not thousands, kek.
A bit of a strange ending, almost as if the writer/s didn't know how to end this and went for "war le bad" one mixed with confronting false gods inanity even though the show was very grounded until the very end (for example, there's a total of ONE energy weapon in the entire show). Current year events have demonstrated that anti-war values no longer work when there are hostiles actively invading your country, but that's neither here or there.
