Spring 2013 anime

Mon, 01 Apr 2013 04:37:27 -0700

Doesn't time fly? Or maybe not. But either way, here we are once again on the first day of a new season. With only a couple of episodes left of winter barring the ongoing and thoroughly late AoD-cast of mondaiji-tachi, it's time to look ahead to the things I intend to watch in the coming season. Aiura* Arata Kangatari Date A Live** Devil Survivor 2 The Animation* Haiyore! Nyaruko-san W* Hataraku Maou-sama Hentai Ouji to Warawanai Neko* Kakumeiki Valvrave* Namiuchigiwa no Muromi-san* Ore no Imouto ga Konnani Kawaii Wake ga nai.* Red Data Girl** Suisei no Gargantia* Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Come wa Machigatteiru** Yuyushiki* Zettai Bouei Leviathan* Note: Haitai Nanafa season 2 has been removed from this list due to not being available Continuing anime: Saki: Achiga-hen episode of side-A specials* Chihayafuru* *These series have been licensed by Crunchyroll ** These series have been licensed by Anime on Demand That's just 18 things, one of which is just 2 episodes. Not much this season, so I will probably find myself reaching into my backlog a lot, particularly if a lot of the things listed above fail to maintain my interest. There aren't many that look particularly promising, after all. But I've been pleasantly surprised by plenty of anime in the past, and I am always open to starting up more series that aren't on my initial list. Here's hoping this happens again. Also of interest this season is how simulcasting works. There's a new potential simulcaster on the scene in the form of Daisuki - if they actually do simulcasts this season, and are available in the UK, neither of which is entirely confirmed at present. And of course, on a less positive note, AoD is only halfway through the last season at present and hasn't said a thing since January. Rankings of anime: (note: these rankings are for the specified episode only and are not cumulative) Episode 1: Suisei no Gargantia Yuyushiki Devil Survivor 2 The Animation Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Come wa Machigatteiru Hataraku Maou-sama RDG: Red Data Girl Namiuchigiwa no Muromi-san Zettai Bouei Leviathan Date A Live Ore no Imouto ga Konnani Kawaii Wake ga Nai.

Nyaruko-san W Kakumeiki Valvrave Aiura Zettai Bouei Leviatan (dropped) Note: The rankings of the 3 AoD series are unreliable as they came out after I had finished watching the rest of week 4.

Winter 2013 anime

Tue, 01 Jan 2013 13:35:21 -0800

Well it's that time of the season again. Time to set out the things I currently intend to try this season. Ai Mai Mi* Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai Next Chihayafuru 2* GJ-bu Hakkenden: Touhou Hakken Ibun* Kotoura-san* Mangirl!* Maoyuu_Maou_Yuusha** Minami-ke Tadaima Mondaiji-tachi ga Isekai kara Kuru Sou Desu yo?** Ore no Kanojo to Osananajimi ga Shuraba Sugiru* Saki: Achiga-hen episode of side-A specials* Sasami-san@Ganbaranai** Tamako Market** Vividred Operation* Yama no Susume* On top of that, I am continuing the following series from Autumn 2012: Ixion Saga DT* Little Busters!* Magi** Sakurasou no Pet na Kanojo* Shinsekai Yori* Zetsuen no Tempest* *These series have been licensed by Crunchyroll **These series have been licensed by Anime on Demand That's 22 series, which is the same amount as I listed in last season's blog. I have rather more hopes for the shorts that I listed this season than the ones I put up last time. There should be plenty to enjoy over the coming months, at any rate. Hopefully nothing will fall the fate that Haitai Nanafa faced last time, in being completely unavailable.

Autumn 2012 anime

Mon, 01 Oct 2012 02:46:25 -0700

Autumn 2012 I'm currently planning on watching the following new series: Busou Shinki** Chuunibyou demo Koi ga Shitai!** Chuunibyou demo Koi ga Shitai! Lite Code:Breaker Haitai Nanafa Ixion Saga DT* K** Kamisama Hajimemashita Litchi DE Hikari Club* Little Busters! Magi** Onii-chan Dakedo Ai Sae Areba Kankeinai yo ne. Psycho-Pass Sakurasou no Pet na Kanojo* Shinsekai Yori* Sukitte Iinayo Teekyuu* Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun* Wooser no Sono Higurashi Zetsuen no Tempest* On top of that, I plan to continue the following series from last season: Naruto: Shippuden* Kokoro Connect (if available)* *these series are licensed by Crunchyroll **these series are licensed by Anime on Demand That's 22 airing series in total. Which is a lot. I'm allowing myself leeway to drop stuff and for the unexpected to happen. Which it very much did in the Summer season, where about half the series turned out very different from what I anticipated, and one of the best series (Oda Nobuna no Yabou) wasn't even in the list of things I wanted to watch... Hopefully at least a dozen of these series will be good enough for me to watch through to the end.

Summer 2012 anime

Sun, 01 Jul 2012 21:43:26 -0700

Well it's the start of the summer season so I decided to post this up, even though probably noone will read it. I plan to watch the following new series: Yuru Yuri Season 2* Tari Tari* Binbougami ga! Hagure Yuusha no Estetica Koi to Senkyo to Chocolate Kokoro Connect* I may also watch Sword Art Online if it is available in the UK. * these series are licensed by crunchyroll. I plan to continue watching: Naruto Shippuden Accel World Hyouka (Saki: Achiga-hen - episode of side A) - in brackets as noone seems to know when the episodes will come out. There's only 3 of them anyway. As for what older series I will watch... we'll just have to wait and see. Plus of course all plans are subject to change at any point. EDIT: And dropped Jinrui wa Suitai Shimashita already. Kind of depressing but it wasn't what I wanted at all, and looked pretty clear that it wouldn't become that either.

The top anime by average MAL scores

Sat, 28 Apr 2012 02:31:31 -0700

Figures correct as of 28th April 2012 1. Gintama' 9.203 2. Clannad: After Story 9.095 3. Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood 9.076 4. Steins;Gate 9.051 5. The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya 9.048 6. Fate/Zero Season 2 9.040 7. Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion R2 8.963 8. Rurouni Kenshin: Tsuiokuhen 8.909 9. Evangelion 2.22 8.907 10. Natsumi Yuujinchou Shi 8.883 11. Legend of the Galactic Heroes 8.854 12. Spirited Away 8.847 13. Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion 8.834 14. Hajime no Ippo 8.818 15. Hotarubi no mori e 8.815 16. Kara no Kyoukai 5: Mujun Rasen 8.809 17. Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann 8.801 18. Hajime no Ippo new challenger 8.796 19. Death Note 8.782 20. Cowboy Bebop 8.773 This list basically gets rid of the advantage that long series hold and the disadvantage that films hold. It isn't perfect of course as sequels, particularly those to very long series, still hold an advantage. Indeed, no fewer than 8 of the top 10 have parent series (9 if you count fullmetal alchemist, which is a bit different as lots of people would watch brotherhood who had never seen the first anime) which they were released after, although only 2 of the next 10 do. This change causes 4 anime to drop out of the top 20 from MAL's system: Great Teacher Onizuka - 8.746 Mushishi - 8.725 Aria the Origination - 8.709 Gintama - 8.596

Getting rid of books is sacrilege and as such it is a practice only performed on the worst of the worst.
