Monogatari Series: Second Season
This is just a breakdown of my first impressions. Will update this entry when the season is over.
Danganronpa- A mediocre pilot, yet still enjoyable with its horror theme. The survival theme premise seems to be overly abundant nowadays... Has the potential to be interesting if characters turn out to be likable.
Update: It's progressively becoming more interesting. The presentation seems to be a bit sloppy, though.
Kamisama no Inai Nichiyoubi- Certainly has the potential to be interesting, but it's not exactly fulfilling yet.
Update: It's turning out to be a very fine series. Episode 3 had some really nice drama. Hope it will continue to deliver this kind of quality from here on.
Monogatari Second Season- Very enjoyable in its comedy and characters. The fanservice is a bit gratuitous at times, but it does not detract from the overall enjoyment in any way. It'll more than likely turn out to be the best show of the season from a subjective, sentimental perspective. More Senjougahara screentime is always a plus.
Fate/kaleid- Neither original nor particularly entertaining. Can't say I liked it. Dropped.
Highschool Dxd New- Pure fanservice really isn't my thing, especially when the protagonist is a lewd, typical teenager without any other striking features. Sure, the girls are all sexy, but I don't intend to follow it just for the salacious guilty pleasure. Besides, season one already left a bad taste in my mouth. Dropped.
Blood Lad- A pretty entertaining show, despite being somewhat unoriginal in its premise. The comedy seems to be quite decent, so I'll probably keep on watching.
Update: Average, yet enjoyable. It's one of those series where I watch it solely for the mindless gags.
TWGOK III- Probably my second most anticipated series after Monogatari S2. I'm definitely excited for the Goddess arc, but at the same time I can't help but feel a little disappointed that so much content has been skipped. Hopefully, they won't rush this adaptation. As long as it stays consistent with the manga, it should be highly enjoyable.
Watamote- Good comedy mixed with a likable protagonist. Should be a consistently entertaining show.
Hyperdimension Neptunia Victory- Cute girls, but seems pretty trite otherwise. Going to give it a few more episodes.
Update: It's not keeping my attention well at all. All the fanservice also feels distracting and unnecessary. Not motivated to watch more. Dropped.
Kimi no Iru Machi- Awfully generic characters, along with a mediocre plot; seems to be a subpar adaptation. Going to give it one more episode.
Update: The main heroine is actually semi-likable. Unfortunately, the rest of the cast is kinda boring and the story feels disjointed from the perspective of an anime only viewer. Dropped.
