Your quest to destroy anime for me hasn't worked so far. Bring it! (Words to regret)

I watched about five minutes of Upotte after I finished Sabagebu. It didn't really strike me as the kind of show that would have melodrama in it.

As I said, genre flipping randomly.

Edit: I wonder what terrible anime I should watch next (rhetorical question, I already know which one. It won't be my next impression post either l)

  • Shokugeki no Soma
  • Mushishi

Honorable Mentions:

  • Knights of Sidonia
  • Hunter x Hunter 2011
  • Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood
  • Steins;Gate
  • Gundam Build Fighters

I probably forgot something.

I didn't ask for this.

Twenty minutes of girls discovering they thirst for mc. Now there is a love triangle inside the harem.Which just added another girl to it.

Elfen Lied at least had the decency to throw gallons of blood and severed limbs in the breaks between it's harem antics.

How can you guys decide which anime is best? That's like saying you like this particular child of yours more than the others! D:
 
Gokukoku no Brynhildr is a really boring show most of the time.

But the ending is maybe the biggest goddamn clusterfuck of an anime ending I've ever seen.

Anime is known for having bad or just non-endings. I feel bad calling the last few episodes of Gokukoku no Brynhildr an ending, because I feel like I'm abusing a word.

the fact that they show characters being alive for like 3 frames when they straight up shouldn't be at the end made me mad.



I'm gonna watch the ambition of oda nobuna next.

Kind of late but really liked episode 6 of Sore ga Seiyuu. Futaba overcame the terrible and frustrating feeling of jealousy thanks to some very good advice from her senior. You don't have to be a VA to relate to those issues and the advice is also really good:

"the audience doesn't care about what you're going through"

I've also started rewatching Bakemonogatari, saw 3 episodes and Hitagi Crab didn't really strike me as something related to personal issues the first time I watched it. I'm glad I rewatched it,
Hitagi lost her weight in exchange for taking her remorse towards her past, it was a horrifying experience and in her attempt to save herself, she lost her family
only she could solve her own problem. This isn't really surprising, the whole series revolves around each person's personal issues, it's just that I didn't really notice this the first time I watched it.

Watched 11 episodes of Jojo's Bizarre Adventures Star Dust Crusaders part 1 - I'm really enjoying it so far :D pretty close depiction of India in episode 10 and 11 :p (source: I'm Indian).
 
Top 5 is kinda difficult, especially ranked. Unranked would probably go roughly as follows:
  • Hyouka
  • Dennou Coil
  • Kare Kano
  • Kyousou Giga
  • Neon Genesis Evangelion

Bottom 5 though is easier. Of those I've seen all or at least the majority instead of dropping them early on:

  1. Sword Art Online
  2. School Days
  3. AnoHana
  4. Clannad
  5. Knights of Sidonia

Subete no aware
Well he sleeps with all the girls one by one. It's a new trend for dating sim/porn game adaptations to do a main story, and then branch off to adapt one of the girls' endings before doing a soft reset and continuing on to another.

For the entire series. the sis is thirsty as fuck for the bro and sometimes even catches him doing the dirty but they get together in the end. Like, in all the ways you don't want to think of.

And then they both die and go to incest heaven.
I think this aired around the same time as Amagai.

I love the episode of Tokyo Encounter where Sugita brings his memory card and proves how he only completed her route. The awkward explanation about the some of the CG that follows is even better. Also this:

Was this the episode where he talked about how he told the voice actress that he loved the character? lol

More Yukine angst. Yay.

Aaah I'm so hyped for the new OP! I was in love with the first season's, let's see if this can top it.

Also I'm surprised they're getting as far as the Ebisu arc in this, I figured they would just be adapting the Viina arc. Since they're finally done with the Yukine being an asshole part it'll finally be enjoyable!
 
Wooser's Hand to Mouth Life Mugen 7

So I was in Tokyo around a week ago and just happened to catch this while channel surfing. It really is an adorable and cute little series, a great antithesis to the otherwise more serious in-tone anime I've been watching. The ED is just amazing in terms of its cuteness.

Through strangely enough, why is it broadcast so late at night?
 
Wait a second...Sentai is giving Beyond the Boundary a dub...

...but they never dubbed Haikyu?

I say this fully aware that crap like Beyond the Boundary will sell better, but....

Im more worried that if HQ gets a s3 and s4 that sentai wouldnt release it.

Reminder that phibrain 3 is still sitting unreleased. They are so bad with anime with more than 48 episodes.

School-Live ep 7

After last week I wasn´t sure what direction the series would take, or if it could be able to keep the story interesting, luckily all my doubts were cleared with this episode. Lots of foreshadowing and lots of feels, especially at the ending. Looking forward for more.

Gangsta Ep.3-6
tumblr_ntc4zxX7Mh1uuq1pao1_500.gif

Damn, I'm not sure why I waited so long to watch this one. Thsi anime is awesome stuff. Great adult cast (well outside of the nurse, lol) overall, lots of action and violance, and an interesting story to follow. I mean this show is bloody as hell outside of ep. 4, which was mostly backstory to fill us in on our MC's. Super bloody.. Finally we are getting somewhere with what is wrng with Ally, a gigalo for a prostitute. What a pair those two are..

Is there a Sentai Filmworks dub that isn't trash?
They had a stronger track record for quality dubs in the late ADV era of the early 2000s... this despite the fact that they're still largely making use of the same Houston-based talent pool of actors and directors.

I get the impression they're putting less time into quality control these days. The current crop of engineers clearly aren't at the level of a Jason Grundy, either.

Episode seven is great too and one of the bleakest to date, haha.
 
Would anyone care for Sherlock Holmes if it wasn't for Hyouka?

Yassss. Gangsta and Rokka were the nicest surprises for me.
 
School LIve 07

Pretty long 25 minutes considering everything that really happened was just writing and sending a letter.

Usage of OP in the balloon scene was nice though, speaking about the OP, lots of stuff changed, wonder they slipped anything cool in?

Does anyone knows what's up with the keys? they were already able to use the car right? Was it a house key?

Gakkou Gurashi! Episode 7:

You know what, this is exactly the kind of episode this series needed as we basically getting insight of the business of living and getting character development along the way and we also see portents of the future. Yes, kudos, for the series for giving us some desperately needed emotional content that isn't horror or sorrow.

Matsuda is too good. I wish we did have more time with Light, L, Matsuda, and Misa Misa going on various detective pursuits for quite a while. They make a great team especially with the occasional help from Near (though why is Mello a doll, as a MattMello fan this is the worst news of the adaptation :( ).

Light looks so creepy though.

Shit's fucked, yo.

Gangsta., which I never expected to be anything less than good, is turning out much better than I thought.

It's still not "great," yet, but it's shaping up to be very good.

Wait until you watch the end of that one.


Gangsta ep. 7
Damn, I guess that is one way to solidify a relationship. That is some really fu(ked up stuff right there. I guess we know why he wears an eye patch now...
