Anime Relations: Choujigen Game Neptune The Animation

Man, I REALLY want to start watching this show, but first I have to actually beat all three of the original games before watching this show so I can understand what the hell's going on. Oh well.

Anime Relations: Toaru Majutsu no Index, Toaru Kagaku no Railgun

Okay, so...Right off the bat, this show looks to be interesting at best. The plot seems pretty good. The characters could use a touch more...character, however. The intro feels a bit like a mix of Blue Exorcist & Durarara's intros, respectively. I do love how Mikoto and Touma got off on the wrong foot because of a simple misunderstanding...classic.

Thought 1: The dub sucks. I normally love the dubs from the Dengeki Bunko Magazine multiverse, but I just can't stand these damned voices.

Thought 2: I might just stop watching the dub at this point and restart from the subbed version. Seriously, the dub is fricking terrible! It's like the show is trying to destroy my ears!

Thought 3: Yup, definitely switching to the subbed version. Wish me luck!

Thought 4: Yeah, that's much better. The subbed version is actually WAY better.

Anime Relations: Ookami to Koushinryou

Thought 1: Spice and Wolf is pretty good so far. I love how they incorporated the old European feel into it. And that theme song, oh my god. So fitting!

Anime Relations: Nanatsu no Taizai

Thought 1: I just watched the first episode of Seven Deadly Sins. And I have to say, I'm more than a little pissed that they stole the music from world of warcraft. Regardless, I'll finish it.

Thought 2: I'm not sure I can keep going with Seven Deadly Sins. The second episode is almost as bad as the first. I also can't stand the fact that they dragged Bryce Papenbrook into the dub either. He just feels so out of place, even though I love his voice acting.

Thought 3: If this next episode is bad as well, I swear, I'm just adding this show to my dropped list. Let us pray that won't be the case.

Anime Relations: Shakugan no Shana

Thought 1: Just started watching Shakugan no Shana for the first time ever, and I have to say, I think it's got a LOT of potential. Here's hoping it's good!

Thought 2: Shakugan no Shana is really good so far, although I do wonder if this will be as good as Sword Art Online. I hope it will, honestly.

Anime Relations: Golden Time

Thought 1: Golden Time looks okay so far. It's certainly got a sort of Haruhi feel to it at times. Maybe that's why it feels decent as what appears to be a romance anime.

Thought 2: I just watched 3 more episodes of Golden Time, and I gotta say, that sudden turn of events was completely unexpected. No spoilers, of course.

Thought 3: This show has an AMAZING twist to it now, as of three more episodes in. SO many things sprung up that I just blatantly wasn't expecting! Here's hoping it ends just as amazing!

Thought 4: Okay, seriously, I can't get over how awesome the outro is. It's extremely rare in most anime I've seen for them to lip-sync the characters singing along with the original song lyrics. The intro is pretty cool, too, mainly due to it's unique art style compared to the actual show.

Thought 5: Just finished watching episode 9. I just said this a few seconds ago at the time of writing this, "That's not good". This show, man...and still no spoilers.
