Thoughts of a few anime I'm watching now
Anime Relations: Bleach, Excel Saga, Naruto: Shippuuden, Darker than Black: Kuro no Keiyakusha, K-On!, Dragon Ball Kai
Okay... I'm bored, and I'm finally starting this because I'm bored.
Bleach has been really good, lately. I'm glad that the fillers are finally over. The Arrancar arc has failed to disappoint me. I have been spoiled up to Chapter 350 something of the manga, but that was on my own free will. It kinda sucks that I know what's gonna happen, but I have to face the fact that I spoiled myself as I do with a lot of shows and games.
So, yeah, Bleach has been epic lately. I think Ikkaku's becoming a favorite. His battle and back story was fantastic. It's been a good few weeks for Bleach as of late. I hope to see more of Ulquiorra, though.
Dragon Ball Kai has been sorta good. I mean, it's your typical Dragon Ball Z. None of the scenes were redrawn, and the HD is way unnoticeable, but hey, the fillers are cut, and that's good enough for me. They're only on the eighth episode, and Vegeta and Nappa are already in the city, with the Saibamen fight coming in episode nine. My only real, real complaint about this s that the voice acting is terrible. I really dislike the cast of this. Yajirobi sounds like a freaking four year-old.
Good stuff, action-packed, well, next episode is, but bad VAs. There's one or two that stand out, but for the most part, the VAs are the least enjoyable part of Dragon Ball Kai.
Excel Saga's been pretty lame, I have to say, but I'm only four episodes in, and I've heard a few good things about this show and it's insane finale. I'll continue to watch, but I really haven't found it funny yet, even if the fourth episode was played out like a dating sim game. I really don't find the characters likable, and I don't care much for the art style, but I'm not gonna drop this. I made a promise to one of my best friends that I'd watch it.
It's bland so far, it's not funny, but from what I've heard, it will get better, and I'm not gonna drop this series. I love the opening theme, though.
K-ON! is probably my favorite of the spring anime, because it's nice, funny, and a relaxing thing to watch after a long day of school. Each of the characters are fantastic and funny, especially Ritsu, my favorite character, and Yui. Mio's awesome too. She's kinda like the Miyuki of K-ON!. Mugi's nice too. She supplies cake and tea and she's rich. But seriously, that show is awesome.
The worst part is that it's only thirteen episodes long. I hope they make a season two eventually. It's got great characters, nice pacing, and a good story. I like it a lot, and the VAs are incredible.
I recently finished Darker Than BLACK, which was a great series for character development, while still keeping you entertained with lots of action. It's not like Moribito, where a lot of the character development is quiet and calm, but this show sticks new characters, and a new story into every two episodes. It executes the development perfectly, and keeps the two-episode arcs going, and colliding with the actual plot of the show.
It's epic, awesome, and you wanna know more and more about the characters each and every episode. A few of the characters like Huang and Yin, have some interesting back stories. It was exciting, and it even has a one-episode OVA, which is comedic for the most part.
The problem I'm having right now, is that I'm trying to figure out if I should watch Naruto Shippuuden, or delete it from my list. Yes... I delete, I don't drop. The only other series I deleted was Blue Gender, and I was only one episode in. I just get a little obsessive and want my "Dropped" section to have nothing on it.
Anyway, I'm gonna be out of eighth grade in a few weeks, and I wanna try to at least finish a few series over summer, while not regretting that I may have wasted some precious vacation time. I need to divide my schedule up so I can feel good about my vacation. Summer break only comes around once a year.

Martin: Yeah, I see where you're coming from with that. I haven't seen even fifty anime shows, so I might not get all the references.It's kinda like Lucky Star. There were a lot of references in that that I had no clue what they were. The only difficult one I knew was Initial D, and I haven't watched that, nor do I intend too. >.< Nevada: Yeah, he is. =D Eh, I might just go ahead and delete it soon. I heard that the pacing is terrible, and that the show itself had many potential jaw-droppers, but completely thrashed them with the show's terrible pacing. Plus, I don't think I'm up for wasting time with a maelstrom of pointless fillers every other episode... XD I'll stick with the manga, myself. |

You may have not seen enough anime to really get many of the jokes in Excel Saga. Most of the people I have talked to who have loved it have been the ones who have seen, like, a billion different animes, and know a lot of the culture.
