My Winter 2014 Simulcast Ranking
# Rank # Final Score # Title
# 01 # 10 # D-Frag
Similar to Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai, very funny (at least for my sense of humour), random over the top stuff, good MCs, good supporting characters. A bit more focus on some male characters and the Anime would have been perfect.
# 02 # 09 # Noragami
The show starts a bit slow and feels in the beginning like a "monster of the week show" but improves considerably after a few episodes. All 3 MCs are really likeable and have each an interesting story/problem that needs to be solved/dealt with.
# 03 # 09 # Buddy Complex
Good mecha, quite interesting piloting concept, good interesting setting in the future, decent characters, good fights.
# 04 # 08 # Sekai Seifuku: Bouryaku no Zvezda (World Conquest Zvezda Plot)
Funny over the top comedy. Interesting story but to much "filler" episodes with non relevant stuff in a 12 episodes Anime. Female clothing of some characters way to small for this kind of show.
# 05 # 08 # Nobunagun
Military otaku girl getting some power to wield a way oversized gun and destroy enormous amounts of aliens. Great action! Clever fights with decent tactics making use of environment. Great characters with interesting different powers. Very entertaining.
# 06 # 08 # Saikin, Imouto no Yousu ga Chotto Okashiinda ga. (Recently, my sister is unusual.)
Ecchi show with very annoying censoring while airing. Girl forced by some ghost haunting her to develop a relationship with her step-brother in order to permit the ghost to pass on to the afterlife. Many cliché situations but funny and entertaining.
# 07 # 08 # Nobunaga the Fool
Very very confusing at first. It takes some time getting used to the strange setting. But it's worth getting there. Interesting plot and great characters. The Mechas really felt out of place (even more than the mix of historical figures from different periods). Would have been better without them and relying simply on swords/magic.
# 08 # 08 # Mikakunin de Shinkoukei (Engaged to the Unidentified)
Guy moves with his sister in the home of the girl he is engaged to. Of course the girl had no idea up to now. That main part of the story is quite put to a secondary place. The shenanigans of his little sister and her conflicts with the older sister of the future bride take the main stage most of the time. Good show, funny characters and a satisfactory story. Would have been better with no supernatural stuff.
# 09 # 08 # Sakura Trick
Funny Yuri show. Cute girls doing cute things. Not much of a story but quite entertaining. Cute art but it looked like it lacked a decent budget at some times.
# 10 # 08 # Space☆Dandy
Good and funny episodic space Anime. Very good episodes, bad episodes and decent episodes. It's like a rollercoaster. Good MC's but the Nemesis of the MC is not well enough developed or used.
# 11 # 07 # Nisekoi
Somehow similar setting to Seto no Hanayome but not as good and funny. It seems to go nowhere and simply adding more and more girls in the harem. Seriously a simple love triangle would have been more than enough. Still the show had some good moments and was enjoyable to watch.
# 12 # 07 # Hamatora The Animation
Decent show about persons with superpowers suffering under discrimination. Some powers were way to powerful for a decent story. Good characters but way to many for this short show. Usually I have no problem with brutality but it didn't feel right in this show.
# 13 # 07 # Wizard Barristers: Benmashi Cecil
Same art style as Mezzo DSA. It's decent art but I don't really like it. Decent story about mages discriminated by normal people. Group of lawyers try to help their clients and MC tries to get evidence to free her mother from prison. Unfortunately the MC is getting herself always in trouble because she is incapable of thinking of the consequences first... To many fights with oversized robots created by magic and awful CGI effects. The show could have been better.
# 14 # 07 # Hoozuki no Reitetsu (Cool-headed Hoozuki)
Very great calm MC. Funny show about hell and how the staff there deals with "every day" situations. Good other characters but I disliked the animals. This show would have been certainly way more enjoyable if you have a good understanding of the religious believes of Japanese people about their afterlife.
# 15 # 07 # Onee-chan ga Kita (My Sister Came)
Short episodes of 3 min fitting a few funny situations about a girl obsessed about her stepbrother. Funny but nothing special. Not very good art.
# 16 # 06 # Z/X: Ignition
Guy gets a card which allows him to capture some creatures to have them fight for him. The defined world is way to complex for this short Anime and makes no sense at too many points. Of course for some reason a great group of girls will gather around him. Beside the revenge story of Ayase Kamiyugi there weren't any interesting stories. Boring fights.
# 17# 05 # Mahou Sensou (Magical Warfare)
Great first episode but after that it's down hill all the way. The show can't decide what it is. Funny life at magic shool or magic war with kids fighting each other. The show feels extremely rushed at some points. Some annoying characters, lack of common sense, stupid decisions and the poor story ruin the enjoyment of the show. They could have done something way better with this setting.
# 18 # 05 # Go! Go! 575
No real story. Very short Anime. Good to kill some time.
# 19 # 05 # Witch Craft Works
Witchcraft may work but not for me. That show is a mess. Guy gets the full attention of the super quiet emotionless popular school idol who turns out to be a powerful witch. Normally I like quiet, calm and emotionless characters but in this case they ruined it with this female MC. The enemies somehow get to go in the same class at the MC and are left alone to prepare their evil plans. Yeah... Too many plot-holes, ridiculous designs of characters and familiars, overpowered MCs and a boring story ruin this Anime.
# 20 # 04 # Wonder Momo
Nothing special, bad art and boring characters. Still quite enjoyable short Anime
Dropped:
# Toaru Hikuushi e no Koiuta (The Pilot's Love Song)
Boring, annoying characters, uninteresting setting.
# Super Sonico The Animation
Slow show, not particularly interesting characters.
