New and current FS anime Topic

After 4/5eps now i've got a fairly large amount of shows im following, probably the most ever since started watching...

Top tier
Ano Hana
Hanasaku Iroha
Denpa Onna
Tiger and Bunny
Maria+Holic s2
Steinsgate
Nichijou

Everything else that i've not dropped yet
Dogdays
Ao no Exorcist
Deadman Wonderland
TWGOK s2
Hiden no Aria
A Channel
Cmoney
Ore-tachi

It's pretty close between Denpa Onna(pretty much Shaft redoing the successful formula of Bakemonogatari) and Hanasaku Iroha for best show, but wouldn't be surprised if Tiger/Bunny's up there with the both of them at the end of the season, once it's done with the character building and world setting it should get really good being its from sunrise i fully expect some sort of twist or '**** gets real' moment to happen soon, and aat least it's doing super heroes better than the americians and that awful Pworks ironman/wolverine/xmen.

Finally dropped Detective Conan after 612 episodes. The original plot has become non-existent, full of ridiculous deaths & theories. They should arrest that family because where ever they go a murder falls under them. Conan is the most dangerous boy alive, talk about genocide on legs.

What show is that smurf?

I'm really liking Deadman Wonderland and Ao no Exorcist. Also love the intro to Denpa Onna, i'm probably mental.

The show itself is easy to watch but it is really quite forgettable.

The World God Only Knows S2.

Denpa Onna is like the op. Fairly enjoyable but god knows why.

There's been an unusually high number of weird ops this season. The music video for the Nichijo op is almost as mental as the anime one:

[SuperBeatBoy]

I got to episode 4 of The World God Only Knows S2. I don't know why i stopped, will get back to it soon.

[SuperBeatBoy]

I also like C - Money too. Love the intro.


Speaking of anime, i watched the live action adaption of Gantz last night. Apart from the hilarious dub it was really quite excellent some nice special effects & gore and kept quite true to the source. Worth checking out even with the dub.

[speedlolita]

I've been watching Ano Hana, Hanasaku Iroha, Nichijou and Astarotte's Toy. All good thus far.

[Tobal]

What's forgettable about tall lanky girl dressed in a hotdog suit and 40 yearold women hiding in a fridge

Still watching everything i mentioned last month, still Denpa, Ano Hana, Hanasaku Iroha, Nichijou providing the highlights though i really dislike the professor from nichijou, they should just replace her with the principal wrestling various wildlife

OreImo 15 is available now!

[Tobal]

Ore No Imouto ep15, last episode if we don't get a second season.

->Open Spoiler<-

I knew what was going to happen as he's now clearly a siscon and the shows titled around them, just wishful thinking they'd leave the whole sister stuff out as it just creepy as f**k with that confession and gone with him enjoying himself with Neko and others which is where i get my entertainment from. Having seen the odd spoiler filled trollfest threads between Neko and Sister fans from the light novel releases i know a second season will be anger inducing.

[abigsmurf]

I'd be suprised if there's a second season, as you've said, the second season is troll-tastic, the drama would be immense. It'd possibly rival the drama that the Kimagure Orange Road ending/movie caused (blame that series for why so many shows don't resolve their love triangles).

Not unthinkable though, it's been a popular series and there's a plot things not delved into (almost non of Saori's story gets told and it keeps teasing us about how she really looks). Would be happy if they do decide on an S2.

Nichijou continues to be one of my favourite series. It isn't perfect, tends to have a pattern of 1 sketch that falls flat, one that's amusing and one that makes me laugh out loud but that's a whole lot better than 99% of comedies I watch.

Loved the scene with the awkwardness of getting your meal served long after everyone else at a restaurant.

Ano Hana ep9 - After this episode i haven't a clue how they will wrap this one up in 2 episodes with satisfactory ending, i'm starting to lean towards them all going their separate ways in life if menma heads towards the afterlife,

->Open Spoiler<-

but then where does that leave Yadomi, he's to in love with her to ever move on and its gonna get one almight ass-pull of a revelation to sort it out, and all more annoying when he's looking past Anjou to. At least it keeps the drama going right to the end and makes me interested in wanting the next episode here already.

Denpa Onna ep9 - Another show close to the end, i like some setups going on in the background with the all the characters.

->Open Spoiler<-

Seems Ryuuko is now out the running(if there ever was one) with the blondie bloke turning up for the baseball game.. probably Meakawa doing, and im not entirely sure if she's into her 'transfer student' and not just using him to sort out some cities little problems. Can't see anything wrapping up in 3eps times so a sequels bound to be along from SHAFT soon or later which i wouldn't mind at all, just wish there would be of a more solid relationship between captain normal and either Ryuujo or Maekawa similar to Bakemonogatari main couple.

Dropped A Channel and Hiden no Aria, the former was so boring even for a slice of life show where nothing happening much is the norm, just goes to show how a plotless moe-fest like K-on was well made and entertaining. And Hiden is so damn stupid i can't stand to watch it for fear of rotting my mind(further).

Just started Ano Hana, watched the first 2 eps. It's suprisingly enjoyable for a show where I dislike most of the characters outside of the lead. Usually hating the cast makes me drop a show. Guessing though it's just putting across the main character's sense of alienation and stuff and they become more likable once you get to know them.

Nichijou (which apparently is getting a full 26 ep run, yay), TWGOK and Denpa Onna are all good and Softtenni and Maria Hollic (which seems to have lost something over S1) are reasonable enough to fill the mid week gap.

Summer anime : http://yvoonmanga.files.wordpress.co...1-anime-v4.jpg

There's a reasonable mix of series, if a little more focused on moe than action but not a huge amount grabs me, only looking like there are 3 or so shows I'll follow from the start, then I'll pick some more up depending on which shows generate a lot of buzz.

[Tobal]

Ano Hana, I had that 1st reaction, apart from Yodami and Anjou, the others seemed like jerks and Poppo a travelling hobo killer, they get better as the show goes on (read after ep9)

->Open Spoiler<-

as it starts showing there all still suffering from guilt of Menma death and them alive. Still Yodami gone in the opposite direction after having an inital surge towards getting back into society only to throw it all away for this final plan or now perhaps waning ghost menma around him forever.

I can see some stuff i would want to watch going into summer, also strange there is no Works/Shaft production at all and the film lists not bad either, to bad we won't see them for another year. The new gundam card battle/pokemon stuff looks Seed destiny bad..

edit..
Seems Paworks is continuing Hanasaku Iroha on into the new season which explains the absence of a new show, which is perfectly fine by me, ep11 was great though it did have me saying "you stupid girl, ****ing grab him" a couple of times, at least there's another 15 eps to sort it out.

[abigsmurf]

AIC doing a fansrvice heavy show next season : R-15.



How good that is will probably depend how far it's willing to go. Seems a reasonable budget though.
