More high school antics! Eeyep, still don’t like Dekomori, at least when it comes to her as a one-girl show. She’s just quirky to the point that it’s not interesting. Her whole bit with hating milk and connecting it with why she’s so short… I let it slide when watching FMA, but now… just no.
Chuunibyou Demo Koi ga Shitai! is definitely one of those series where right when you think you have its genre pinpointed, it starts making certain scenes of a different genre more dominant. The “will they/won’t they” type of relationship between Yuuta and Rikka has been mentioned more in a comedic fashion, but the more times they bring up the idea, the more viewers start to wonder if it’s more than just a running gag. I take it Isshiki had similar…
For reference, I’m currently caught up with the series and am only behind in terms of making entries on them. Really digging the series so far, though I do have something of a minor gripe. The episode starts off with a chase scene between Rikka and her sister, and we see what I can only assume to be Rikka’s after school free-dress which… works oddly well. Usually I think of the Lolita style to be one of those things that…
Halfway through the new season of anime, I guess it’s about time I started another episodic review. For reference, the other new shows I’m following are PSYCHO-PASS and Robotics;Notes. And with PSYCHO-PASS being too srsbzness, and Robotics;Notes being relatively vanilla so far, Chu2 seemed the most bloggable. Flickering text on a screen coupled with blurry images of people? Just what kind of animation studio would take such artistic liberties with its introductory scene? Ah, Kyoto Animation. Keeping in mind the…
I stopped watching at episode 13 even though I know that technically the first arc ends at episode 14, but with the direction things were going, I couldn’t put myself through another episode of this. Sword Art Online started off promising enough, taking place in a distant future where technology has reached the point where mainstream videogames not only appealed to a slightly broader audience than you’d expect, but also were able to literally insert yourself into the game. Mix…
Equipped some nice earrings for your day off with a special someone, Asuna? I’m gonna go ahead and assume the type of item equipped is of the type that doesn’t really have all that big of an effect on the user when equipped a la bracelets and the like in the Persona games? It makes sense and all, but I always found those kinds of items useless… or at the least I didn’t swap them out as often as I…
The saga continues! While it took me a while to warm up to this series I will say one of the better things I like that been used in practically every episode so far are little nods and references to past episodes that you wouldn’t think were so important… like a magical item you could use to teleport yourself out of any situation. Yeah, maybe I should have seen this one coming, but that was before I figured out this…
It’s been another month-ish since the goings-on of last episode and this time around you can really tell. To be thrown into the middle of the rebels planning to destroy the Death Star latest boss where not only is Klein there but also Asuna and the rest of the fighters from three episodes ago is jarring in a good way. Kirito is smack in the middle of a group that ostracized him back in episode two and yet for the…
After some CBS Survivor level drama, it looks like the focus of the episode this time around is Silica—a beast tamer that doesn’t prove to be one of the more mentally stable characters we’ve met so far. She doesn’t seem crazy in a “beg for fingernails on the subway” sense, but if you cried virtual tears over what essentially serves the purpose of those Teddie Bears in Earthbound then that has to count for some level of crazy. It’s been…
Looks like Kirito’s been going solo for an unspecified amount of time and was able to gain the trust of one particular guild. Token girl aside, they seem pretty interesting… or at least as interesting as a guild can come off as within the first couple minutes before the opening sequence. Interesting to know that the entire group knew each other from their school’s computer club irl. Any mentioning of a computer club in my animoo makes me think of…
