Kumin made me laugh at the end. It was a nice break especially after it got kinda morose in the latter episodes. When it did that, my suspicions seemed to be confirmed: It's going to turn into an anime where the outsider needs to be redeemed. Thankfully, it didn't really do that. I hope it get another season.
Our thoughts on Jormungand and Muv-Luv are polar opposites, haha. I thought the latter gradually became incoherent. But since I watched all of it, it must have had some redeeming features.

I can't stand Jormungand. To me its a poor rip-off of Black Lagoon with none of the charm.
Muv-Luv Alternative turned out better than I had thought though. When I did a preview of it for Anime Pulse I had only seen the first two episodes and it felt like a re-tread of Mars of Destruction: girls trained to fight aliens and everyone ended up as cannon fodder. Thankfully when I returned to it for a full review the main story was much more engaging.
I think the best anime of 2012 I've seen have all been in this current season: Zetsuen no Tempest, Shinsekai Yori and Little Busters!

I'll admit that I didn't see all of Muv-Luv, but it was still better than those opening episodes made it seem to be at first.
Bazinga!

I enjoyed Chuunibyou, even if it piled on the drama a bit thick at the end. But chuuni!Kumin made it all worthwhile.
Love thy Evangelion.
