Just too grim for me. I appreciate that the staff want to put its own spin on the material, and normally I applaud such direction, but I think they miss the mark here. The constant grimness at play— even the smallest details have been made more tragic— make it exhaustingly dour and depressing. Tezuka had it right: a bit of levity goes a long way.

Started out strong, collapsed during the second arc. Oh well.

5 Ergo Proxy
Hamfisted when it needs subtlety, vague and confusing when it needs clarity, all wrapped up in mythological and philosophical namedropping. Characters are bland, too.

7 Gangsta.
I was interested in this because it promised to be a reasonably down-to-earth show about a couple of dudes making their way in the underground, with plenty of ultraviolence and a sprinkling of mob politics. The Twilight stuff was weird, but acceptable as background details and worldbuilding. Sure, it had been steadily ramping up in importance, but it still remained firmly in the background— in large part because they seemed relatively rare. So, naturally, the show then decides to throw that all away and change tack in a single episode.

To recap, the ninth episode: introduces two mysterious, powerful Twilight foes; who have very outlandish designs and personalities, which the show had done a decent job or avoiding so far; reveals that a previously-introduced character is actually a super powerful Twilight; retcons Nic's strength to make him considerably weaker; and just overall shifts the focus in a more typically shounen direction— complete with power rankings!

It's one the harshest tonal whiplashes I can remember, and certainly the most disappointing one. Gangsta. had quite a lot of promise… but instead it's just another dumb fighting show.

10 JoJo no Kimyou na Bouken Part 5: Ougon no Kaze
This just isn't clicking for me, and what it comes down to is the characters— or lack thereof. Everyone in the cast is introduced with clear, distinct personalities and motivations, and even with pre-existing relationships to one another. But as soon as Giorno joins Buccirati's Gang this disappears: their personalities are sanded down into no more than a singular quirk, and their unique motives disappear entirely as they are instead fully on-board with Giorno's gang-star aspirations. The result is a cast of six largely interchangeable stoic men who don't really even interact with each other so much as just exposit. For a series that— ostensibly— boasts an ensemble cast, this is a death knell.

12 One Punch Man 2nd Season
I just can't be bothered to continue this. It's more than the animation— I just don't find the story very compelling. Moving into dedicated story arcs was a mistake; there's no tension nor dramatic weight because we know exactly how it ends, and so multi-episode arcs just feel like delaying the inevitable. OPM's strength was in its comedy and surprisingly resonant themes, and it's a shame to see that all tossed aside in favour of becoming a run-of-the-mill action show.

13 Rolling☆Girls
Alternates between the generic (cute girls doing cute things!), the boring (there's a bomb threat! let's spend time with our characters inspecting roombas) and the pointless (episodes that lead nowhere and invalidate previous ones!). A waste of a premise and some perfectly good art.

Turns out this is just a pretty typical slice-of-life/romance show, and a poorly done one at that. Undeveloped characters and contrived situations abound! Pass.

15 Zankyou no Terror
Terror in Resonance opens with an exciting premise: following two terrorist masterminds in Tokyo. But the show never follows through. Not only does it go to great lengths to keep blood off the protagonists’ hands— their attacks, somehow, never kill anyone— but it never shows any kind of fallout they have on the public, presenting their campaign as a mere puzzle for the police to solve. As the show continues, these two aspects are played up, culminating in 1) our terrorist protagonists being horrified by the idea that one of their bombs might actually kill people, and rushing to stop it; and 2) a weird-but-genius detective joining the investigation simply to toy with our protagonists, going as far to set up a virtual chess game instead of apprehending. For what it is, it’s not bad— certainly it has incredible production values— but Terror in Resonance promised to be insightful and thought provoking, when it’s anything but.
