@Nick: The manga has less violence? lol, that actually makes sense. The amount of mindless and unnecessary blood in the anime was pretty annoying, gore for the sake of gore. Gets pretty boring. Guess I can give the manga a try. It's not that long. ^^

@Eddiej: I have no problems with a child prodigy able to use pretty potent Magic after 7 years, but Mavis really has many things stacked against her. If she had a mentor, I wouldn't even mind her using magic with such potency after 1 year. But, being alone, many simple things work against her which nobody would normally pay attention to. Something as simple as, "what does this word mean?" She has to go get a dictionary, find the word, understand it, then start what she was studying from a checkpoint as her focus was broken. It takes a lot of time. Just imagine the number of words she will have to find. Also, we can pretty much assume that she cannot heal herself (Lost Magic, remember?), so she never got injured or fell sick ... which is fine. But then something simple like getting books to learn from from higher shelves? Ladders would be too unwieldy for her someone as frail as a little girl. She most probably was never able to do that until she grew older. Many simple things like these combined make it seem pretty improbable for even the greatest child prodigy to accomplish something great. Now, none of this would arise if she had a mentor. One demonstration would have been worth a book. Even Matilda had adults to advise her. Also, for the purpose thing, it's pretty certain she didn't learn Magic with any purpose in mind. Considering she had books which had info about jutsu-shiki and somesuch stronger Magic, her choosing to learn Illusion Magic is more like a whim than anything else. But we'll see. In the end, this is just knitpicking and this is shounen (actually, felt more like slice of life for a great part of the last few chapters >.>), so not really worth considering. As I already said, it's a minor point, not really worth considering. :)

@FTGM: Yeah, anime much easier to drop than manga. T_T But, if next Zero Chapter doesn't deliver ... I guess I'll just write one final rant about the whole spin-off and then drop it. ( ._.) Thankfully, enjoying Mainline and IT a lot right now (Gray fanboy). \(^_^)/
 * Sunday Without God (Sorry, I'm bad with Japanese names! /(__)\) sounds really good. I think I can pick that up.
 * As you yourself mentioned, Occult Academy seems a bit like Steins;Gate, so I'll put it on my list right now. But will surely try it. (Broadband routed between father and me with full priority to him means mean dl speed for me. T_T)
 * Only heard of Tokyo Ghoul because Parasyte manga readers said it was inspired by Parasyte manga (Hardly >.>). If Parasyte's romance starts getting to pathetic (I don't have any problem with romance, it's just that Parasyte's is pretty weird, feels as if it's thrown in just for the sake of it. All his interactions with Murano could have been done on a childhood friend basis only and would have just as much of an impact. Just need to make Murano a childhood friend instead of somebody he met comparitively recently), I'll drop it and switch to TG.
 * Terror sounds damn awesome! Just one question, 'cause I don't really like reading too much on wiki (like everybody else, I guess XD): Does it have anything in common with, 'A Wednesday'? Might seem like a random question, but I really liked that movie a lot. :D
 * I consider Bleach over when Ichigo lost his powers. :/ Good enough for me, the explanation for all of his battles as, "Aizen planned them," works for me. Even if they bring Aizen in now and try the same stunt, it wouldn't have the same effect. I'm just reading the Final Arc 'cause I like Ishida and want to know what's so special about, but somehow I feel I'm gonna get badly trolled. >.>
 * I've finished the manga for DW. It was nice, I guess. But I never really got Hagire's character, so the part after the Promoter's death fell pretty flat for me. Ultimate wish is to kill and be killed by Shiro? ... Eh? Ummm, k ... Nope, still don't get it. Just being insane doesn't really cut it. Just me, I guess. ( ._.)
 * Imma absolutely love Kill la Kill, so will definitely try GL. \(^_^)/ ... I've always been terrified of visiting any forum to find something similar to Kill la Kill 'cause, somehow, each and every topic seems to have hate about my fav char from the series (Nui). T_T
 * I started Mushoku Tensei. It's pretty nice, but I have a foreboding that it might turn into a harem ... Well, it has a better reason as the guy's goal is to create one, but still not fond of harems. Although I loved the way he learns Magic in the Infancy period, it seems the author hit a block when trying to see how to make Swordsmanship not be instinctive. And, forgive me, but I don't really find it on the same level as NGNL. What I loved about NGNL is the great over-the-top strategies.
 * Thanks for the suggestions! Really appreciated! \(^_^)/
