How can anyone make a war involving Leonardo da Vinci, King Arthur, Nobunaga, Jean d’Arc, and Julius Caesar so bloody boring?!!!

Ten seconds of greatness when Nobunaga laughs from hell. Otherwise stupid. Ok maybe entirely stupid.

The side cast is cool, but the two leads bored me to tears.

An Index / Shana type show with magic and fighting and a harem. Ashamed to admit but I do like this formula once in a while.

12. D-Frag! — C+
I love the manga. But the adaptation wasn’t that great…
 |
 |

 |
 |
1. Kill la Kill — A-
FABULOUSNESS.
What did you think of this past season’s anime? Feel free to share in the comments!
Phew, there are a few stunners in there (StB over HxH……….), but you have Seki-kun at number 2, so I can forgive all.
Strike the Blood was pretty good! 🙂
The Penguin Empire shall await your return! In the meantime, I am enjoying the best show ever.
Yay! Me too! It just keeps getting better and better!
I’m in Singapore!
Kill la Kill was pretty fabulous- I got into it pretty late in the game (mid-winter season) but marathoned through it. It was a fun ride.
Similar thoughts on Yukine in Noragami but if you stick it out, he makes a HUGE reversal in character development and actually makes up for his annoying whining in the first half.
I stuck it out, he didn’t make up for it for me. Just became slightly less obnoxious.
For lack of time and other reasons I only managed to finish Gin no Saji II and Inari, Konkon. I enjoyed Mikakunin, as well, so perhaps I’ll finish it some time later.
I’m surprised that Nagi no Asakura received such a high ranking from you! Ok, it had great visuals, but after watching a few episodes I dropped it for being too cheesy. Have I been wrong?
Kill la Kill was a bit too much over the top for my taste even though I admit that it was quite inventive in its visual style.
I thought Nagi no Asukara got way better in the second half. There is a huge twist which largely reverses all the developments you think are going to follow from the corniness in the first half. It felt like an entirely different show.
Yeah Kill la Kill is not for everyone. 🙂
