damn, i already flushed out the ‘these suck massive’ animes from my servers, so i don’t actually have a good recollection of what i watched last season. maybe i’ll peruse my last post to get an idea what i left off at…
bonus video! it’s the OP track by chatmonchy for kuragehime…a quirky anime i’ve taken a shine to…
first, the season i left off with…
angel beats | definitely turned out alot better than i originally gave it credit for. poignant ending…and heh, my original comparison to haibane renmei was more on point than i thought.
arakawa under the bridge | …i didn’t stick with it…
b gata h kei | speaking of retardation…yea, this was retarded. if one were to solely base their assumption of japanese culture thru the plethora of anime, they’d probably just assume japanese guys lacked ballsacks. disposable anime…
durarara!! | …finished up last season, and i was sad =(
heroman | it was so dumb i stopped after the fifth or so episode. sorry stan lee, stick with western comics…
k-on s2 | there was still no discernible plot, but they graduated! and they’re definitely the undisputed kings of moe…
mayoi neko overrun! | was actually fun to watch, in a disposable kind of way. at this point i can’t remember a single episode…but *shrug* i didn’t hate it…
working | was also disposable, but entertaining. and the lead protagonist wasn’t a pussy. bonus points to him! ending was bleh tho.
SUMMER SEASON
amagami ss | same protagonist, different girls in alternate worlds/circumstances…over and over and over again. it’s like groundhogs day except with vapid teenagers. i watched the first arc, realized how stupid everybody was, and wandered off…
asobi ni iku yo | really fucking retarded. alien catgirls too stupid to be of any entertainment value, excessive tits and ass, and a general disdain for rational plots. it was so embarrassing to watch i stopped after the third episode…
high school of the dead | even with the excessive tits and ass (a plethora…a cornucopia even), this was actually a pretty damn good series. my eyes were glued to every episode. zombie armageddon, japanese high school style…
ichiban ushiro no dai maō | the series started off interestingly enough with a cool premise and agreeable characters (like a reverse anime harry potter), but the story just fell apart by the end. like seriously…nothing made sense. why the fuck is that kid wearing a power rangers outfit? wait what, why’s the main dude flying around on a dragon? what the fuck is everybody doing? dear plot, fuck you…
kaicho maid-sama | it was decent enough, til i realized every single episode had the same damn plot. hey whats that over there? *wanders away…*
mitsudomoe | like a mean-spirited azumanga…sort of. it took me a while to get used to its distinct style (big and round…still not a fan), but afterwards it was pretty funny…tho the gags got old by the end (set up scenario, misheard and/or misunderstood conversations, cue humor).
occult academy | i started watching this because it was a-1 studios, but then was let down by its quality (maybe a-1’s b-team, b-1?) tho the series did eventually get interesting, even if it took a while.
okami-san | i never did get the whole allusion to red riding hood et al…but it was ok.
seitokai yakuindo | would you believe this was actually pretty funny? everybody you’d expect to be wholesome is actually a perverted deviant, and they have a habit of saying out loud things you would normally keep in your head. that itself makes it worthwhile. and even with all the smut (vocally anyway), the anime was surprisingly pretty restrained (no gratuitous tits or panties, even as they showed pixelated dildos vibrating around a table in its intro). it spoke to my perverse sense of humor…what can i say?
shukufuku no campanella | yawn…wandered off. cutesy fantasy with no coherent plot…boooooring.
FALL SEASON ongoing…woot.
bakuman | from the creator of death note? whatever. while the premise was pretty educating (two kids want to break into the manga industry)…and does a fairly good job depicting whats required, the lead kid is a retard. seriously, melodramatic and very likely the target of massive wedgies. and while the series wants to shine a light on the manga industry, i’m pretty sure it’ll just end up turning off countless people interested in the industry. seriously…they make it sound like self-flagellation. ps: i’ve already stopped watching…
fortune arterial | vampires again? fuck you. i must’ve downloaded this accidentally…it’s ok, i’ve remedied this already by deleting all the files.
hyakka ryōran samurai girls | did i mention there are tits in anime? hey look, more tits! and they’re samurais and ninjas too…word. not bad so far in all honesty, and it’s got a very cool paint brush style. the animation’s a bit stiff at times however…
kuragehime | the aforementioned quirky anime, about a nerdy girl who lives with other nerdy girls and becomes friends with a fashionista girl, who’s actually a cross-dressing dude. yea…what the shit? but still fun to watch, and a cool change of pace from testicle-challenged guys and girls who can’t keep their clothes on…
ore no imōto ga konna ni kawaii wake ga nai | nobody actually calls it this. i think people just refer to it as “oreimo”, but i prefer “tim”. pretty good so far…the animations top tier, and the story’s well written too (popular girl hides otaku hobby from everybody, uses brother as scapegoat)…etc etc.
otome yokai zakuro | this probably isn’t even a bad anime…but it didn’t keep me entertained. next…
panty & stocking | ultra-gross and perverted anime, but it’s ok because it’s in the same cutesy animation style as powerpuff girls lulz! if i wanted to watch this style, i would flick over to cartoon network. but i don’t, so i don’t. and the hyper gross plots (shit, farts, boogers, etc) got annoying.
shinryaku! ika musume | moe-fied squid girl. stupid premise, but still more funny than it should be.
sora no otoshimono: forte | second season! yea i didn’t expect this either…did the first series do that well? whatever…it’s still got the same perverse humor, and in a total shock, there’s actually plot progression. ps: tits.
soredemo machi wa mawatteiru | another anime i’d classify as ‘quirky’…and about as un-typically anime as i’ve seen. weird girl and her friend work in a rundown maid cafe with an 80 year old head maid/owner and almost no customers. hilarity ensues (for reals!) the OP and ED both rock too…
star driver: kagayaki no takuto | i stopped watching after he activated his galactic pretty boy powers. what. the. fuck.
to aru majustu no index | season 2 is on…woot! tho i’m not going to lie…the first few episodes have a really weird pace. i’m hoping it gets better…
the world god only knows | at first i thought it was a stupid premise…but i gotta say i’m getting to like it. i think it helps that the voice actor for the main dude was the same guy who did jin in kannagi. in other news, his school uniform looks like austin powers’ crushed velvet suit. that has to count for something…
yozakura quartet | yea it’s just an ova, but have i mentioned how much i liked it? the story and characters are definitely cool too, and i’d imagine the original series would’ve been made so much better if the ova’s studio (tatsunoko) had handled it instead of nomad.
