Anime Relations: Otaku no Seiza

OK, I decided to do this once I got to 300 completed series, and since I've achieved that, then here it is :D this is just documenting my anime landmarks.

100th series completed: Junjou Romantica, on 5th July 2008
- was it worthy of becoming a landmark?
Hmm... sort of. It certainly isn't one of my favourite anime series or shounen-ai/yaoi series, but it'll do.

200th series completed: Mahou Sensei Negima! Shiroki Tsubasa Ala Alba, on 27th April 2009
- was it worthy of becoming a landmark?
Again, I'm not sure. I'm tempted to say yes, because it was a a good OVA of a manga I truly and utterly adore (didn't like either full anime series much though) and because it featured my beloved Sakurazaki Setsuna, but then again... it didn't stand out all that much, and isn't one of my favourites. If my 200th completed anime had been Zoku Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei, which was the series I completed the day after this OVA and thus became my 201st completed series, then that would definitely deserve being a landmark series.

300th series completed: Isshoni Sleeping, on 14th February 2010
- was it worthy of becoming a landmark?
Absolutely not. This was dire and boring and I had to skip through most of it. An OVA featuring a girl sleeping and claiming her love for you every now and then is not worthy of this kind of landmark, no way. I was hoping for Sora no Otoshimono to become my 300th completed series, but then I watched this this morning, forgetting all about the completed series thing.... boohoo ;__;

400th series completed: Superflat First Love, on 26th December 2010
- was it worthy of becoming a landmark?
No! Shinryaku! Ika Musume was meant to be my 400th completed series! ;__; I watched this before my stats updated properly, so I thought this would be #399... oh well. The music was good and it was entertaining, so I guess it's not too bad really.

500th series completed: Kobato., on 28th November 2011
- was it worthy of becoming a landmark?
YES. I started Kobato two years ago and kept putting it off because I was never in the right frame of mind for it. I dearly loved Kobato because I had a manga book of it that came with a Megami magazine issue years ago, but I just never wanted to watch it. Now that I've finally finished it I feel a sense of calm, especially because it was my 500th completed series.

600th series completed: Btooom!, on 23rd December, 2012
- was it worthy of becoming a landmark?
OH FUCKING YES. I can't really express my feelings for it at the moment because I've just finished it, but just know that I am happy that it was my 600th completed series ♥

700th series completed: Mahou Shoujo Madoka★Magica Movie 2: Eien no Monogatari, on 6th September, 2013
- was this worthy of becoming a landmark?
Yes! I love the Madoka universe and I enjoyed this film. I'm happy to have it as my 700th completed anime.

800th series completed: Hatsukoi Limited, on 17th May, 2014
- was it worthy of becoming a landmark?
YES! I've been meaning to watch it since it aired in 2009, and I finally did it! I was not disappointed. I really loved the characters and the emotions and the comedy, and Ayumi and Yamamoto and Enomoto were the best girls ♥

900th series completed: 12-sai., on 31st January, 2015
- was it worthy of becoming a landmark?
Nope! It was decent but wholly underwhelming for my 900th anime, but I was in a rush to complete 900 by the end of the month because I'm a massive loser, so yeah. Never mind.

1,000th series completed: One Punch Man, on 23rd December, 2015
- was it worthy of becoming a landmark?
ONE PUNNNNCCCCCHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

1,100th series completed: Trava: Fist Planet, on 21st October, 2016
- was it worthy of becoming a landmark?
NO I HATED THIS SO MUCH KILL ME

1,200th series completed: Suki ni Naru Sono Shunkan wo.: Kokuhaku Jikkou Iinkai, on 3rd December, 2017
- was it worthy of becoming a landmark?
Yeah, I guess. I subbed the first movie with SallySubs and really enjoyed it, and this was a nice side piece.

1,300th series completed: Amagi Brilliant Park, on 30th August, 2018
- was it worthy of becoming a landmark?
Not really. It was cute and fun, but it wasn't particularly memorable and was watched as part of the August monthly challenge.


I wonder what'll be my 1,400th completed series?!
