Anime anyone?

<< < (90/229) > >>

Asterus:
Is it actually an anime? I've played the game version of Wakfu for a bit (Kinda like a more aesthetically pleasing Runescape), and heard about the preceding game Dofus, but this is the first I've heard of a corresponding anime. Does it stand up on its own, or is it just one of those "X The Animation" adaptations?

Blue Kitty:
From what I've seen it has it's own story

GarandMarine:
Sigh... the season's ending!

So for the two series I'm watching that have ended or are close enough to it that I'm okay with putting out a final word and their score, thus enabling me to savor a final episode (for the better ones).

Servant X Service: My gold medalist of the season with lots of good laughs and a fair amount of cute moments to balance things out. The team didn't run out of ideas part way through like Working and I'd say it's VERY likely that the three main plots will actually get tied up in the final episode. How the hell often does that happen? 9/10

Dog x Scissors: Speaking of wrap ups, while I greatly enjoyed it over all DxS just failed to bring it home, there was a lot of potential with some fantastic characters, but it didn't GO any where with them. The murder arc was excellent, but there was so much faffing about as opposed to getting to the plot, for a show that features a best selling author as the main character DxS certainly is lacking in the plot and story department. A grudging 7/10 because I really liked it personally, but even I can't ignore it's incredible flaws. My disappointment of the season.

Gin no Saji (Silver Spoon): The surprise of the season and the only anime I really jumped in on mid season, Silver Spoon taught me a lot of things. Lots of stuff I didn't know about farming in Japan and just in general and that there is apparently such a thing as Japanese country music. It also had the talent for making me /really/ hungry. With a wonderful cast lead by a main character who really is just a normal guy for once who has intentionally put himself well out of the norms of his city life, watching Hachi learn and grow from his experiences makes for a great anime. We should all be blessed with the chance to have such experiences to truly learn about ourselves. 9/10

Watamote: Ugh. I've made grumpy sounds about this one before. It's refreshing that an anime featuring a social reject/loner protagonist has actually put an ugly individual (inside and out) in the lime light, but they did such a good job making Tomoko ugly that I kinda just want to smack her. I also didn't find there was much of an arc or story to be invested in, and the comedy just wasn't doing it for me. Still well done, but not my cup of tea. 5/10

Chronicles of the Going Home Club: No. I won't believe it's over and you can't make me! I had way too much fun with this anime. Taking up the Azumanga Daioh anime's format and running with it, a tight cast of five girls keeps us a little more anchored as they go about their various adventures together. I enjoyed a lot of this anime and will probably watch it again in the future. I'd also add it to my buy list without hesitation. 8/10.




Time for a brief musical blitzkrieg

Courtesy of the talented Amanda Lee, ever wondered what Guren no Yumiya would sound like in English? Check it.

Ending tonight's minor offensive, "Pon Pon Pon" is a well known scourge at cons and on forums, but again thanks to Amanda we can now get a listen in English. The lyrics are cheery... even for Jpop.

On a random note, it was announced that Momoiro Clover z is doing the theme music for the new Sailor Moon. It can not be overstated how awesome that is.

For those not in the know, Momoiro Clover Z is a sentai idol group.



Yes, with transformation belts and everything, they also did Bodacious Space Pirate*'s OP with one of the guys from Megadeth.

*Bodacious Space Pirates being the prestigious winner of my "Name That Least Matches Show Content" award and a very kick ass anime if you like bad ass female protagonists, sci fi comedies and of course, space piracy.

Cire27:
I really wish Guilty Crown could have been as good as its music.

GarandMarine:
I'm enjoying it so far, but then I came in with no expectations.
