I haven't even finished Horizon season 1 so......
Really? I kinda like it ^^; In fact I kinda like it ALOT- even more than Campione, which was the show I had bet on before the start of the season. Nobuna was my first real surprise of Summer and my reasons were directly contrasting with yours :lol: I find the protagonist more likeable/entertaining than the others of it's kind (others being Campione/Hagure/H Dekinai/Imouto) I also like the whole impressing girls with his 21st century modern high school education method of building a harem. The story was also alot better than I had expected, I honestly thought it would be just another ecchi-fest series.

And yes Itou Kanae is absolutely perfect in her role as Nobuna :D So perfect I think this would be one of those rare cases where an Anime adaptation is actually better than the original even though they have taken some 'liberties' with the events- I guess the only reason why people aren't rioting like Campione is because hardly anybody seem to have read the original ^^;
Why I find his behavior too unbelievable --> he's too comfortable in his new environment, too fearless from death (by beheading, both in ep 1 and 2) and goes about rambling his knowledge, with no heed to caution. It will be nice if he really shows some intellect and behave more logically (despite his illogical environment), so his current behavior seems forced to suit the way the author wants it to go, imo. And that's the only problem I have with it, the alternate reality setting is kind of nice though.

I completely understand what you mean- However I view this as a good thing because it shows that he's... Enthusiastic and willing to take the initiative, he doesn't take long to get into the swing of things. In a way, I guess I'm looking at this through the pov of a prospective employer heh ^^; I like protagonists that hit the ground running.

At the same time I don't think he's only there just to play the fool; there were several moments where he does share some words of wisdom and stand by his moral beliefs. I suppose part of the reason why he acts so reckless and fearless might be because the whole thing still feels surreal to him, or maybe because he has this romantic notion of the old Samurai ways? Who knows...

time for a checkpoint.. 8)
Accel World 13-16
Spoiler! :
particularly towards where haruyuki/silver crow lost his wings, the show started reminding me of the Matrix. the new OP and ED also feel a bit weird compared to the first ones, but they're not so bad.
Hyouka:
Spoiler! :
typical of some LNs in that the arcs tend to be episodic. still, KyoAni won't get any complaints from me on this one. 8)
KoiChoco 01-04
Spoiler! :
generic harem with generic introduction. there's worry that similar to previous eroge adaptations this one might go south, but on the other hand said eroge getting an anime in the first place might be an indication of it being a worthy title. either way i'll stick around, whether or not i get to play the source material.
NakaImo 01-04
Spoiler! :
i'm not actually sure why i'm continuing this past ep04 when i dropped Arcana Famiglia right after ep02. :? foolish optimism maybe, or probably just desperate enough for seasonal comedy after NichiBros and Acchi Kocchi.
Hagure Yuusha 01-04
Spoiler! :
a tad too much service, but given the type of protag akatsuki is i kind of expected that. lack of LN knowledge also sucks, but so far so good.
Boku H 01-04
Spoiler! :
same with NakaImo, probably just desperate enough for no-nonsense laughs. at least its good for some brainless hilarity. :lol:
Campione! 01-04
Spoiler! :
of the shared opinion that anime adaptation should be treated as an original. other than that, and the similarities to Index, its still a worthwhile half-hour every late-night friday/saturday midnight.
Dog Days' 01-04
Spoiler! :
yet another title for me to power-down my grey matter for weekly half-hours. also, needs more Norio Wakamoto 8)
Sword Art Online 01-04
Spoiler! :
since they decided to go on chronological order, i guess it can't be helped that the 1st few runs be episodic. anyway, its a visual and literary treat, and looking forward to ep05 8)
Kokoro Connect 01-04
Spoiler! :
imo this season's dark horse. 'nuff said. :wink:
Ebiten 01-03
Spoiler! :
sometimes the parodies make me laugh, then wince. maybe i'll end up dropping this one. :?
雨 (ame) trilogy 8)

So a while ago I decided to stop watching Arcana Famiglia because it felt like some sort of love comedy under the cover of a "magical mafia action" anime (aka shounen paradise). But since I hat just dropping anime for no real reason I stuck with it. I have to say Arcana has its good points (good plot, chracater development, back-stories that MAKE you empathize), but honestly I'm disappointed. I ws hoping for that shounen paradise but ended up with an otomege trying to attract male viewers with ht and run comedy, that throws feels at you like a homestuck tumblr post. As much as I like the powers and all (which is the only reason I'm watching), I really don't have a passion for it.

I knew it was an Otome game adaptation. That's an instant "no" for me and something I gave to my sister.

I need to catch up on SAO, AW, ONnY and other series, but I'm bothered by some little tasks to do.

I thought that it would be a good idea to give a little bit of an update for what I have seen.

Dakara, Boku wa H ga Dekinai
Spoiler! :
I watched the first four episodes of Boku-H on Crunchyroll, and I found the censoring horrible. Please do not get me wrong here. I do not need my libido going through the roof, but I think that censoring can be done in a more "tasteful" manner that can add to the character of the series. I kept watching in the hopes that the humor and/or plot would kick into gear, but it just did not. I am dropping this series due to a lack of anything entertaining and tasteful.
Space Brothers
Spoiler! :
Continuing from last season, I am still finding this series quite entertaining and good, providing a fresh, more realistic, and new look on something is fairly well-known to us all. I tend to think of it as the anime version of "The Right Stuff."
Hunter x Hunter
Spoiler! :
What can I say? It is still going strong, and I do not see why not at this point. They have plenty of material to continue it without filler.
Muv-Luv
Spoiler! :
The first two episodes were amazing, but I could help to find episode three and on to be somewhat of a disappointment. Yui is no longer the main character in many senses. Instead, we have a racist-of-an-MC Yuuya, who needs to see a counselor instead of being on the front lines. Sure, he is "good" at what he does, but he is also an emo brat. That is what Yui seems to be there for, except for the fact that Yui has turned into a drill sergeant *ahem* *lieutenant* with just as equally serious issues. Putting this and the potential romance plot between these two together, who act like a couple of tsundere kids, is a recipe for disaster for a relationship. Oh, and by the way, almost all of the other characters are more or less inconsequential at this point, except to provide commentary and random hotheaded bickering. Yeah...this is a decent series, but it needs to make its characters grow like a weed before it can make any true headway.
SKET Dance
Spoiler! :
Continuing from x seasons ago, this series still provides mild entertainment, at least enough to keep me watching. Still, there are parts of the series that need more umph to make it a classic like balance between the funny parts and the drama. It seems to go full tilt one way or another without staying on track completely. It is kind of like a BP kid off of their meds.
Oda Nobuna no Yabou
Spoiler! :
I will admit that this series has turned out to be somewhat of a pleasant surprise for me. It has some well-written plot and dialogue and a fair share of comedy and action. At the same time, it seems to be driving at something that requires something else: a knowledge of the Sengoku period. Not only this, the Sengoku period character-gone-girl shtick is getting a little over-trodden by this point. I do not mind it, but, when the past few years have taken it to the extreme, you just wind up with a new trope that lacks creativity. I do like the fact that the male MC has a backbone and is not yellow in the belly; rather, he is kind of reckless and frankly nuts. Nobuna herself is a strong lead female MC, who is still capable of being human, although it is often tainted with tsundere leanings. The other characters are interesting, albeit somewhat flat. Overall, the series is good, but it needs to overcome some of the stereotypes to make it stick out.
Chitose Get You!
Spoiler! :
Cute and somewhat funny, but it really adds nothing to the rash of comedic anime shorts that have been appearing as of late. The series just goes over well-known tropes and kind of acts like the short and clean version of Mitsudomoe. Frankly, even though Chitose is 11, something should be done about her obsession with her "onii-chan." Girl crushes are cute and all, but her being 11 kind of kills it for me. She is on the borderline in a sense. Also, her "onii-chan" needs to be able to say "No" before he gets hauled off by the police for holding a "file for pets." Yeah, mediocre is about how this series rates.
Dog Days Season 2
Spoiler! :
I liked the first season, which was the dark horse a few seasons back. This season picks up right where it left off, which is good. The bad is that things just kind of roll down the river like logs heading to a waterfall. Cousin. Check. Childhood friend. Check. MC et al. Check. Putting them all together and making a smooth plot that lets you know what is going on and why the characters are doing what they are doing. Umm. Nope. I can sort of understand Nanami jumping in on things, but Rebecca's motives are paper-thin at best. It would have helped if the series had done a mini flashback to make sure that the viewers and the characters were on the same page. They are not right now. I can let it slide, but 30 seconds of brief footage from last season would have make that important connection.
Campione
Spoiler! :
This is easily one of the best harem series that I have seen in a long time. It has more plot than harem "action" to it, and the MC is a man for once. My only complaint is time skip in episode 5 that left me in the lurch. I had to scroll through other people's comments to figure out what happened. I should not have to do that. I do like the mythological twist that they have put on things, especially with the Athena arc. At the same time, the twist shows a Shintoist mindset behind everything, which is not a bad thing in itself. It just tends to conflate incompatible myths and theologies. I can overlook this though. Overall, it is a solid series so far. (I looked up the characters on wiki, only to find that he gains 4, count them, FOUR "wives!" That is crazy in every sense.)
Sword Art Online
Spoiler! :
This is an excellent series, especially when it is coming from the pen of an author doing two series simultaneously, the other being "Accel World." Philosophically and morally challenging, this series presents a major challenge for the current trajectory of technology. This is fine and dandy, especially since the MC is about as bad as any MC that we will probably see for a while.

The problem is that the series is basically .hack on speed. The series also fails to address how these people are staying alive in the real world when they (at this point) have been stuck in the game for almost 2 years. My guess is that they have people who love them around them to take care of their bodies, which are looking more and more like vegetables by the day. That, and they their loved ones have the money to do so. On another level, why have they not caught the perp yet in "real life"? Moreover, surely someone should be able to crack the system to make it so that they can log out. If not that, then yanking the battery and unplugging at the same time "should" do the trick, unless there are HUGE capacitors in the helmet.

Overall, this series is definitely up in the cream of the crop for this season.
YuruYuri Season 2
Spoiler! :
I liked the first season, but I thought that it was somewhat bland. This season has cranked up the humor factor to 11 and the entertainment factor as well.
Jinrui wa Suitaishimashita
Spoiler! :
I have only seen the first episode of this, but I can say that it is refreshing to see a female MC that is somewhat devious and has a darker side. I know that we have seen this in the past, but it is relatively rare in an ocean of "genki shoujo." On the other hand, seeing the UN featured in another series, fictional or otherwise, is kind of old and only seems to make political statements that do not help the series along for the most part. So, I would say that the series has potential, but I need to see more to make a sound judgment on that.
Fairy Tail
Spoiler! :
*INSERT FILLER HERE*
Phi Brain
Spoiler! :
This is an entertaining series, but it throws out any possible reason why they attend school in the first place when they are truant most of the time. Also, some of the other dynamics of the series are absurd, but we forgive them. Taken in and of itself, the series is a nice attempt to get people into puzzles at the very least. It also has some likable characters. The main problem is that the episodes are like "brush, wash, rinse, repeat." If you can get over this, fine. Otherwise, your time might be better spent trying actually do puzzles.
Poyopoyo
Spoiler! :
Cute and funny, this is definitely the series to make cat lovers purr.
Yurumates3Dei
Spoiler! :
Funny, yes, but nothing new here. It will do for those who need an upper on a bad day.
Sengoku Collection (Parallel World Samurai)
Spoiler! :
It is alright, but it suffers in its approach. By focusing on different characters every episode, I never really know who is who and what is going on. It seems too absorbed in its cute drawings than in explaining ANYTHING that would help the audience understand what is going on in any of the sketches it does of the characters. I am just hoping that it patches things together in the last few episodes and reminds us who these parades of characters are.
Accel World
Spoiler! :
Still going strong, this series is quite interesting. Yet, there are still plots holes in the current arc. I think that it is still good overall though.
Rinne no Lagrange
Spoiler! :
This is another good series, but the first episode was kind of a lemon in many senses. Now, it is more like lemonade, but it still needs to sweeten things to make things make more sense.

- It seems to be one of the surprises of the season, I felt it could attract a lot of fans. I was right, thanks for your quick thoughts.
- Too much content cut down. I feel that it could be disappointing...
- Minimum is done in SAO's execution. No transitions. Disappointment, but still good.
- One of the intriguing series of this season, I sould try it later.
- What else would you expect?
- Well, there's a lot of rage in this 2nd arc. I'm waiting for the outcome.

Re: Anime Summer 2012

Post by Mystes »

OK, let's do this shit.

From worst to best. Taritari still to watch, as well as Jinrui from ep. 2. Dropped AF and Muv-Luv. Waiting English subs for ebiten. Only got to ep. 2 for KoiChoco because of some fiasco with the French fansub group I'm in.
Spoiler! :
So, I can't play H (a.k.a. Boku wa H something)

Was fine during the first few episodes. It wasn't that bad. Though the perverted MC might attract some hate, it was decent and you coul still watch it for entertainment.

However, episode 5 was horrible. Not only was it awkwardly random, but it kinda ruined it for me. It turned to be a Korezon-wanna be, and failed. Those glasses were maybe supposed to be hilarious...but no. These scenes with the centaur and the angel, as well as a girl falling in love afte hearing a single line were too much for me. Though I still wait for the next episode. I have it, but because I forgot to force my subs in, I have to watch it tonight.

Horizon in the Middle of Nowhere (a.k.a. Kyoukai senjou no horizon)

Screw it. Kadi, Cosmic and a lot of other people might like it a lot, but for me, it was bad. First of all, thy were gone to an England that wasn't England. I have no idea what happened. Then you have these letters sent by I-don't-know-who, some big-breasted women taking care of stuffs I don't even know, some battles that make no sense. To be honest, Horizon has also too many secondary characters, IMO, and I can't find myself to know a bit more on many others. Masazumi pushed me through for the 1st season, but I don't think that I will gt through a second. This might be on the to-watch list that I have never manage to finish, like Mirai Nikki, Deadman Wonderland and others. I hope I can sprint through when I'll have free time, but I don't, so I will probably watch it next year...in China, if I can still download from commie there.

Aesthetica of a Rogue Hero (a.k.a Hagure Yuusha)

I first thought that it was going to be like Daimaou, but no. Quite different it is. The MC likes to fight and draw problems, and the other characters lack something. I can't really explain it, but this show isn't in good harmony in the sense that I feel as if they throw characters in the plot without having any compatibility with each other. To me, the brown-haired girl doesn't do anything that could make her an important character. Others have their characters development stalled, like the green-haired Loli. That said, the show isn't bad and the MC is likeable. There are otter elements, but I think I've written enough for this. I'd watch it until the end, without raising my expectations.

The Ambition of Nobuna Oda (a.k.a. Oda Nobuna no Yabou)

Pleasant surprise. I wasnt expecting this show to be this good. Though average to me, I had very little expectations when I first read the premise. However, after watching one or two episodes, this is anchored to my to-watch list. Art is good and likeable MC. Main girl's tsundere plays get a bit annoying though, but after watching some anime that were worst in terms of tsundere plays, I am fine with it. The plot looks like ZnT's a bit. In the sense that The MC is dragged to a parallel world in the past, fights, fall in love with a girl, have the other girls fall in love with him, goes on the battlefield, etc. The execution, as well as many other things, are different though. Anyway, I love this series, but it doesn't have the potential like the ones listed below.

Campione!:

Campione is fine if I look strictly as anime. It's hard to say that, having read the LNs, but I can enjoy it. It's not that bad though the ED is horrible. The character designs don't look good enough to me neither, and Godou wins a bit too easily. However, just like the historical thing made me watch Nobuna, the mythology is what made me like Campione in the first place. Even though th le author screwed and twisted it, I still like it. Likeable MC and fine heroines. Above average, below my expectations though. Needs to reach full potential too.

Accel World:

This....I don't even know how should I rate it. It is probably an awesome series and have a lot of good points. Fights, plot, and etc. My main concern is that the protagonist reminds me too much of that guy called Ouma Shu, and it is not just that guy. If you look at the plot progression, it's way too similar to guilty crown too. In th sense that you have good episode ends followed by shitty episode ends. Shitty in the sense that it makes me kinda rage on it. Fo example, the later episodes show someone get finally beaten up until his hp gets regenerated and such. It's like the whole episode was meaningless fo the protagonists, and it starts well but doesn't finish well.

Despite this, AW is a good series, and I'd stillfollow it no matter what happens. Though it's testing my patience. A lot.

Hyouka:

Mixed feelings here too. Slow progression, too slow in my opinion. Some episodes are just like its trailer; boring. You can get exited over it or simply fall asleep. Good plots, suspense and mystery series. Interesting dudes, annoying girls though. Irina or whatever she's called is fine, but the girls aren't my type here in the sense that they are not people I would roo for. Nevertheless, well done despite some boring eps.
Part 2 to come.
