Wow, I haven't done this in forever.
This week in anime:
After a terribly long internal debate about whether I had enough space left on my hard drive to download more, I decided to pick up two more series. Following that debate, I had another one about which fansub group I should go with. I'm not too picky with the translation or awkward phrases because for the most part they convey a similar message, but I am picky with the visuals so I generally go with the nicer typesetting. I really am trying my best not to turn this into spring again where I picked up way too many shows.
Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukani
It's giving me Denpa Onna to Seishun Otoko vibes. I like it.
C³
Gore. Fighting. Lolis. Fanservice. To be quite honest, I really don't know what to say about this show. I'm really liking the gore, which is perhaps the only reason I keep coming back for more. I have no idea where this show is heading and I can't say there's anything remotely new or revolutionary about it at all. It's not even funny. Not even close to being a tiny bit funny.
Fate/Zero
Everything about this show is simply amazing. Perhaps a tad biased coming from a fan of the series but honestly, this tops Fate/stay-night by a mile. It makes me wonder if they were ever really part of the same series. Ufotable didn't disappoint with those impressive visuals either. The soundtrack is also a given considering it's Kajiura Yuki composing. If everything keeps up the way it's been going, the show is probably only going to get better from here.
Guilty Crown
I've never really been a huge fan of this kind of future post-apocalyptic war set up but this story isn't too bad. It still manages to retain my interest. What I really do love about this show are the stunning visuals and the soundtrack. That soundtrack is superb.
Phi Brain: Kami no Puzzle
Mediocre series. Not bad but not amazing either. Frankly, it should be bad. The premise is stupid, for lack of a better term, but some how it didn't turn out to be a complete joke. It did kind of become more interesting after the recent episode so I guess we'll see where it goes from here.
Shakugan no Shana III (Final)
For one of my all-time favourites, it really didn't fail to deliver this season to the point where I'm constantly checking what day it is in anticipation for the next episode. It doesn't help when the subs are delayed.
Un-Go
Starting... really soon.
I recently finished Rurouni Kenshin: Tsuiokuhen or Samurai X - Trust and Betrayal. Anime really doesn't come like this anymore. It kind of made everything I've been watching recently seem not so good. Now I have this onset of nostalgia and feel like watching every 90s anime in existence. Kidding. Gotta keep up with the times too, y'know?
I'm working on a few reviews and on my way to finishing off anime from the spring and summer seasons but alas, real life gets in the way so I haven't been able to finish anything.
