D-4: The Best Anime of 2011 「MISCELLANEOUS」

Not entirely sure I should label this as 'Best of' but anyway. Again just my personal opinion. List of anime I watched can be seen here.


Favourite Characters
Male - Kinji Tooyama

Purely for the endless laughter at 'Hysteria Mode'.

Female - Touwa Erio

She's interesting and completely adorable. What kind of normal 16 year old girl believes she's an alien and constantly wraps herself in a futon?

Other - Inga

Inga gets a separate category because I simply have no idea if Inga is male or female. "He" can change into a woman so I really have no clue. In any case, I really liked Inga's characters and it was one of the things I enjoyed while watching UN-GO.

More than I Expected - Infinite Stratos

It's really nothing more than harem and mecha but it really wasn't bad like I expected it to be. I was pleasantly surprised that I thoroughly enjoyed this series despite everyone always asking me why I would enjoy such a thing. I really liked the mecha...

Not What I Expected - Oretachi ni Tsubasa wa Nai

I wasn't expecting much out of this series to be honest, but I definitely was expecting to understand what was going on. This is the show where at the end you go "WTF DID I JUST WATCH?" I kid you not. Everything was so convoluted I had no idea what I was watching most of the time. I did tie in together at the end though... somewhat.

Mediocre Show of the Year - Dantalian no Shoka

It wasn't bad by any means but it wasn't really good either. It was just average. Never more never less. I never really enjoyed what I was watching it but I didn't dislike it either.

Worst Show I Saw - Sekaiichi Hatsukoi

Well, I don't know if I was expecting to enjoy this. I think I was expecting more than a shallow top/bottom yaoi but I suppose I should've known. I'm fairly sure I'm in the target demographic of this series but I just found everything about the series so shallow. The characters, the romance, everything.

Oretachi ni Tsubasa wa Nai First Impression

I have one word for this: notsureifsrs.jpg

Under the Innocent Sky - Not really innocent. Derp.

It was like 100% the complete opposite of what I was expecting. Seriously. Those pretty girls were so deceiving.

No really this first episode was pretty much awkward panty shots, fail censoring and more awkward panty shots. For a harem, the first episode was pretty odd. They shoved like a million characters in your face and I hardly remember any of their names. The episode went from ecchi - ecchi - ecchi - random stuff - ecchi - random stuff - shove in some random attempt at establishing the plot right in the last 2 minutes. It was funny, I'll give it that. It was really, really funny.

"You have a monster in the pocket of your pants. Dora thinks you want to put that monster in my kitty."

I will keep watching this for the nice art and because it's funny but this episode was truly terrible. Barely a 3/10 because it made me actually laugh out loud.

Oretachi ni Tsubasa wa Nai 「PREVIEW」

English: Under the Innocent Sky (Lit. We Don't Have Wings)

Airing:

April 2011

Producer:

Nomad

Synopsis:

A big city filled with people and buildings. It is now winter. When you look up, there is the cold white sky. Young people with anxiety. Love. This is just a story you can find anywhere.

.... Basically a coming of age story.

Genre:

Drama, Fantasy, Romance, Harem

My Thoughts:

It looked like a harem from the picture. I've seen a few now and the only one worth mentioning is Air. Honestly, Clannad was total crap, Kanon was alright, Yosuga no Sora had so much ecchi but I stilled watched it for the incest and Shuffle has some really annoying characters and the first half of the story was stupid. This, however, is a coming of age story and I really like those. They're so nice to watch. Not to mention the nice character designs (really loving the uniforms) in this. I'm really looking forward to this one and hopefully it'll be enjoyable until the end.
