Administrative Note: At the moment, I should be in a plane somewhere over the ocean. I’ll be travelling out of the country for the next week, and won’t have time to watch anime. I’ve scheduled some posts for while I’m gone, but I won’t be able to watch any new shows (except ones like this one that I watched last night). I’ll be back next Sunday and will try to catch up then.

Wow, this was gorgeous. Even more impressive is the soundtrack. The soundtrack was amazing, the best I’ve heard for a long time. Continue reading K — First Impressions →

Wow guys I’m so excited about Zetsuen no Tempest! It’s a story about the deep friendship between a weak, kind boy and a harsh, indifferent boy with amazing powers. I really hope they can set aside their differences and become best friends.

This one gets the distinction of being the first show this season that was so bad I couldn’t finish the first episode. Continue reading Kamisama Hajimemashita — First Impression →

This is another one of those 30-second flash things. It was supposed to be funny. It was less funny than the new Hayate.

Normally I wouldn’t even waste my time commenting on how awful this was, but some ignorant moron told me this would be “absolutely amazing”, one of the best shows this season. I just had to call him out on his BS.

I’m sold. This has the humor which Hayate so noticeably lacked. Also, the more serious parts aren’t bad either. I think everyone can related to growing up and being embarrassed of what they did in the past.

Then, once you grow up a bit more, you realize: who cares? So, kid from Chuunibyou: some girl wants to play witches and warlocks with you, and you’re complaining? Said girl rappels down from the balcony, wears a fake eye patch and has shoes that turn into roller skates, and you don’t want to hang out with her because she’s not normal? What the hell’s wrong with you? If I were in your shoes I would totally hang out with this girl. If the rest of the class doesn’t want to join in it’s their loss.

I’m not sold on the art style yet though, particularly the character’s faces. They have the tiny Denpa Onna / Haganai mouths which I’m not fond of. I’m not sure why this has become a trend, it looks so strange.
