Whew, finally got off my lazy arse to update this poor blog.
Just this month some seasons of anime have finished their runs and new ones have taken their place. This is just my two/five/whatever cents on what I have completed and on what I have started.
The End:
Gundam 00 (2nd Season) - The first season was ok for me but it left me craving for the second season. Then the second season was kinda less realistic and more ridiculous & LOLable but I don't mind, especially the Tieria fanservice :) (which was LOLable most of the time XD). I'd still watch the movie when it comes out.
Tales of The Abyss - I don't know why, even though I have not played the game and found it hard to follow sometimes, I still love it! It must be the opening song (I love it!) and my love for JRPGs. I really want to play Tales of the Abyss, Tales of Symphonia and Tales of Vesperia...
Kyou Kara Maoh!(Season 3) - I found it a bit long but at least it had a happy ending. I liked how seemingly seperate things suddenly got connected. However, I still don't know the purpose of the OVA and where it fits in the timaline because Saralegui was re-introduced in this season (D:?).
Soul Eater - I like it! The fight scenes are very creative with creative uses of unlikely things as weapons. I respect the creator's creativity. What I hate is that through most of the series I always unconsciously wonder how those scenes were represented in the manga and whether the plot of the anime is different from the manga. These thoughts/preoccupations prevents me from fully appreciating the show.
Dammit.
Anyway, the ending seemed a bit rushed with a few major revelations popping up in the last episode itself, and Ashura's philosophy confuses me to no end.
Casshern Sins - No comment. (i.e. It left me confused.)
Jigoku Shoujo Mitsuganae - It's ok. Some episodes are ok, some episodes are interesting, some episodes are creepy/makes you facepalm and a few are very wtf?!. I feel kinda sad that Enma Ai will never be relieved of her duties as Jigoku Shoujo but I'm still confused as to what had happened to Ai at the end of season 2 after she died. (They never make things clear.) There was once I was reading the plot of season 3 on wikipedia when I barely watched halfway but it was a fake that talked about the return of the Jigoku Shounen and I actually believed it. Wth lol.
The Beginning:
Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood - The episodes are a bit rushed but it's understandable, and I can't wait for it to catch up to where the 1st anime deviated. Somehow I prefer Roy and Gluttony's old seiyuus.. -_-" I'll just wait for my ears to get used to them. At the moment, I keep hearing Lockon Stratos and picturing Regene Regetta. However, I LOLed when I found out that Kimblee's new seiyuu is the one behind Allelujah Haptism. This shall be interesting.
Hayate no Gotoku (Season 2) - The first season started out fantastic but it gradually got more ridiculous towards the end. What I didn't like was the frequent use of fanservice(the one geared towards men) and the annoying/unlikable characters. I'm hoping(lowly) the second season is good but so far it's still meh. I'd have to get used to the new character designs too.
Sengoku Basara - Awesome fluid fight scenes that are ridiculous in a good way. I'll watch it just for the battles and the LOLness of it all. XD
Valkyria Chronicles - I really want to play the game. But the anime reeks of cliche. And I find Alicia's voice annoying and Welkin's a wimp. But I will still play the game when I get it. To be safe, I shall not watch anymore of it for fear that it might destroy my image of how awesome the game might be.
Higashi no Eden - Looks very promising. I look forward to the next episode. >:D
07-Ghost - What got me was the world in 07-Ghost, the architecture, and those cool powers, and those reapers. I will watch it, even if it is full of cliches and yaoi undertones. Even if most of the characters are unrealistically young-looking bishounen.
..And that's it for now. I'm still thinking of trying the other new anime.
