Okay so... here's what I am planning on watching this season (not counting OVAs, shows still running like Nurarihyon, or movies):
Out of all of those, I've watched at least the first episode of everything EXCEPT...
So... I thought I'd do a little blog to kind of um... rate what I think of shows so far that I've watched!
BEN-TO - 5 (undecided)
Um... this show confuses me... because it's about a guy who gets beat up when he tries to buy half-priced bentos at a certain store. I mean... I understand the whole 'race to get it' thing... but then there's this girl 'The Ice Witch' who has a HS club for Half-Priced Bento lovers... and I think there was some yakuza... and a timid girl with megane...
So yeah...
Not sure what to think of this from the first episode. It's... an odd premise...
Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai - 5 (undecided)
Aside from the fact that this show made me go through hell to upgrade everything so I could watch 10-bit anime... it's um... weird.
I'm not even sure what it's about except the guy says he has no friends and yet he's hanging out with a harem-worth of girls.
I can tell you that nabe should never be eaten that way though... and the fact that the chicks puked everywhere was... weird...
But the first ep was only like 11 minutes or something so who knows, maybe it'll be a nice reverse harem. The two main chicks kind of remind me of Ryoko and Ayeka from Tenchi Muyo in the way that they fight with each other in regards to the guy.
Chihayafuru - 9 (YAY!)
This is by far the most interesting of the animes that I wasn't looking forward to (I was looking forward to Bakuman 2, Persona 4, Gundam AGE, and Sekai-ichi Hatsukoi 2).
The story revolves around a girl who loves this competitive Japanese card game called karuta where you have to memorize 100 poems and then the first line of the poem is read and you have to be the first to pick the card with the 2nd line of the poem on it.
The art's gorgeous, the idea is refreshing because it's a card game that isn't retarded and childish like Yu-gi-oh. It's not a TCG, which is also nice. Monsters don't pop out. People don't have wacky hair and outrageous attitudes. It's a game that actually takes a lot of work and skill.
The girl's the younger sister of a model but she's a tomboy and kinda clumsy and her friends are a good looking guy and a megane-clad guy. Good looking guy now goes to her school and neither have heard from megane-clad guy who was who got the girl into karuta in the first place because he'd been playing it on a professional level.
Anyway, I liked it and I'm eagerly awaiting the 2nd episode!
FATE/ZERO - 8 (Hehe)
Aside from the fact that I was confused as to why the episode would never END... cause it's like 45 minutes or so, I liked this show!
But I was sooooo confused because you're thrown in and meeting all these people all at once and it's like name name name name name name BUGS name name....
Yeah... bugs... -shiver- don't get me started on the bugs under the skin thing...
But this show has Seki Tomokazu as Gilgamesh!!! HOW COOL IS THAT?! Sorry... I get excited when Seki-san's in things these days... hehehe.
Okay so the idea is it's a war every 60 years for the holy grail and the grail chooses 7 people who are magus to summon heroes of old to fight for possession of the grail. The art's freakin' SWEET and I'm really looking forward to watching this show.
I'm pretty sure it's related to fate/stay night... but since I haven't SEEN that show yet (wanting to), I can't say it is or how it is etc.
Hunter x Hunter (2011) - 3 (Eh...)
Ummm... I'm really only watching this because of Keiji Fujiwara. Seriously. I mean, I had a friend who tried to get me to watch the OLD one but I watched like 3 episodes and got bored. It's shounen fight so... I can ONLY take so much of that, man.
I may drop it, may not... I just really get tired of "who's the bad guy today" all the time.... but if it doesn't have fights that last a freakin month then I may stick with it. Just depends.
Kidou Senshi Gundam AGE - 3 (Eh...)
Where to begin on this...
Well... the art pisses me off. Freakin chibi-ish features... and I'm used to Gundam giving us bishies (WING and 00 and... well maybe kinda sorta SEED).
The Gundam design itself is VERY basic and I'm not sure where it fits into the Universe of Gundam as a whole...
I just... freakin little kid piloting a Gundam again. I mean he looks 10 even though I think he's like 16 or so!
I'm really just watching cause duh, it's Gundam and because Daisuke Ono plays THE ONLY REMOTELY BISHOUNEN CHARACTER IN THE ENTIRE THING.
Oh and where's our masked person, damn it?!
Kimi to Boku. - 7 (-thumbs up-)
I don't know if they're gay or if they're just friends or what the hell's going on in this show. All I know is it's 4 guys hanging out, 2 of which are identical twins with social issues (kinda like the Hiitachin brothers in Ouran), one has glass and dark hair (looks a lot like Otori from Ouran too), and one has long hair and a feminine feel to him.
The show's slow, but it's VERY slice-of-life so it's a nice change of pace from action anime and harem anime floating all over this season.
I'll keep watching it because I need something grounded with all the insanity of the anime season this time. I mean seriously, half of what I'm watching classifies as harem this time!
Kyoukai Senjou no Horizon - 2 (Ew)
Look! More flamboyant characters! More harem! More ecchi! More fighting!
-sigh- Really?
So the show's very pretty in 10-bit... and the characters are odd. I mean hell there's a dude who's a succubus who isn't really a dude cause he runs around stark naked and has no boy or girl parts! (yes I decided to go the cleaner route when describing that)
But it has a LOT of good seiyuu in it... and thus I'm watching.
It's something about an Apocalypse / End of the World thing though so... that might be kinda interesting.
Did I mention they're on a floating/flying ship/city?
Maji de Watashi ni Koi Shinasai! - 2 (Ew)
Freakin' holy swiss cheese Batman! LOOK! Even MORE fighting and MORE harem!
-facepalm-
Kamiya Hiroshi, if I didn't love you so much I really wouldn't be watching this... It's like how I only watch Dog Days because of Mamoru Miyano and Koyasu Takehito... otherwise I wouldn't watch that either!
The thing here is P.E. classes turned into all out war between different classes. I don't know WHY they're doing it yet or anything... but it's like freakin Fuurin Kazan (Taigo NHK J-Drama - I love that show with a passion btw) with high schoolers who don't kill anyone!
Oh wait, and don't forget everyone's in love with the male strategist... -sigh-
Persona 4: The Animation - 10 (SQUEE!)
PERSONA PERSONA PERSONA PERSONA PERSONA!!!
-bounces up and down-
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-fangirl squee-
Okay okay so I LOVE the video game. NOW I GET TO HEAR THE REAL VOICES!!! -dances-
Seki Tomokazu!!!!!!!!!!!! -dies of happiness-
Can anyone tell I was REALLY looking forward to this show?
Anyway, it does the game justice! Everything looks like it's supposed to! The characters are just like they are in the game, except FINALLY the protagonist has a name and he talks! Even the days pass with the little game screen calender!
I don't know though if the main gets multiple Persona or just the one... but the second the next episode is out... I AM THERE!
WATCH THIS SHOW!
WATCH IT!
Then play the video game... or watch it AND play the game!
It's freakin' fantastic!
Working'!! - 10 (SQUEE!)
So this show is officially on my top 5 list of animes now because seriously... I LOVE WORKING!!
Not only do I get to hear Ono Daisuke, Kamiya Hiroshi, and Fukuyama Jun throughout every episode, but the characters are so likeable and hilarious!
Souma's still as mysterious as ever! Saitou still hasn't convinced Yachiyo to stop fawning over Kyouko! Takanashi is still Inami's punching bag! Popura is continuously being teased by Takanashi (unknowingly) and Saitou (on purpose) about being so short! And Aoi still lives in the attic wanting to be adopted by Otoo who, by the way, is still searching for his missing wife!
The Wagnaria staff are just as insane as ever!
Though why the US release of this series is being called Wagnaria instead of just Working!! is weird...
I expect good things to come here! And it's the only show this season that I've watched both episodes of so far hehehe.
THIS was one of those shows that I was WAITING and WAITING for for what seems like forever!
LOVE IT!

NOTE: I wanted to edit the Tomodachi entry up there but BBCode is fucked so doing that won't work. Anyway. I meant a nice harem anime not a nice reverse harem.I enjoy reverse harems quite a lot, hehehehehe. |
