What has been will be again,
what has been done will be done again;

A Seasonal Review: Spring 2012

Seasonal Review,

I’m a bit late. Sorry. That’s mainly because I have been extraordinarily busy, and last season had a ton more good shows than usual. I was planning to finish more of them before writing this, but it doesn’t appear that that’s going to happen. Oh well.

I’ve loosely ranked the season’s shows from worst to best (rough guide: A=awesome, B+=great, B-=good, C=decent, D=bad, F=fail). The numbers in parentheses are how I ranked that series’ first episode at the start of the season. Let’s see how much things have changed.

I’ve tried to keep this post concise. Let’s begin!

So bad I couldn’t finish the first episode: Shibainuko-san, Saint Seiya Omega, Pabu and Mochizu, Naruto SD, Gakkatsu, Arashi no Yoru ni: Himitsu no Tomodachi

Dropped after the first episode: Hiiro no Kakera (29), Acchi Kocchi (28), Folktales from Japan (25), Kuromajyo-san ga Touru!! (24), Gon (23), Kuroko’s Basketball (20), Zetman (19)

Still Planning to Watch Eventually / Excuses

8. Shining Hearts: The Bread of Happiness (26)
Honestly, this is probably not going to happen anytime soon. This show sucks.  Continue reading A Seasonal Review: Spring 2012 →
