My thoughts on the Summer 2013 anime (the ones I tried anyways).

Danganronpa: Kibou no Gakuen to Zetsubou no Koukousei - The Animation

"Kill and don't get caught" is the only way to win this game of "clue".

The mystery and Monobear's crazy personality make this anime worth watching. The other characters have their own quirks, but the lack of good character development leaves you not caring that one of them just got murdered.

Score: 5/10 Average

Inu to Hasami wa Tsukaiyou
Dog & Scissors

As I would expect from Gonzo... nothing great. Kirihime might be appealing, but she isn't enough to save this series. It isn't even funny, just stupid.

Score: 1/10 Unwatchable (dropped)

Kamisama no Inai Nichiyoubi
The Sunday without God

Not impressed. High quality animation, but slow and boring.

Score: 2/10 No reason to watch (dropped)

Monogatari Series: Second Season

Lots more of Hitagi's verbal abuse, which is hilariously amusing. This season seems to have a bit more fanservice than before. It's more Bakemonogatari, which was fantastic.

Score: 9/10 Exceptional

Rozen Maiden (2013)

Much better pacing than the original. This version has a lot more/better drama without childishness.

Score: 4/10 Below Average

Senki Zesshou Symphogear G: In the Distance, That Day, When the Star Became Music...

Same feel as the first season, but higher quality animation and a lot more action.



Score: 6/10 Above average

Fate/kaleid liner Prisma☆Illya

An almost amusing magical-girl anime that mocks the magical-girl stereotype. Unfortunately the jokes/action/cuteness isn't enough to keep me watching.

Score: 3/10 Almost watchable (dropped)

Gatchaman Crowds

Nice character designs and the soundtrack has a good beat. The CG is high quality, but the regular animation looks somewhat low quality. The show has high-positive energy, thanks to Hajime (the main character).

I like Hajime's wings:


Score: 5/10 Average

Genei wo Kakeru Taiyou
Day Break Illusion

The episodes feel really long, but the show isn't slow. The character designs are great, and there are some rather freaky elements. I can't help but like the ED.

Score: 4/10 Below Average

Watashi ga Motenai no wa Dou Kangaetemo Omaera ga Warui!
No Matter How I Look At It, It's You Guys' Fault I'm Unpopular!

I'm surprised how much I liked this. Lots of laughs every episode.



Score: 7/10 Really good

Choujigen Game Neptune: The Animation

The only thing this show has going for it are the goddesses' outfits ("outer-space swimsuits"). Very nice designs, but the show is awful.

Score: 2/10 No reason to watch (dropped)

Kami nomi zo Shiru Sekai: Megami-hen
The World God Only Knows: Goddess-arc

Season 3 of The World God Only Knows. It's been a lot more dramatic than I was expecting.

Score: 6/10 Above average

Blood Lad

Childish.

Score: 2/10 No reason to watch (dropped)

Love Lab

It has a few funny moments. Most of the jokes weren't very good though.

Score: 2/10 No reason to watch (dropped)
