I think the blogger here as well as some of the members see anime as more than "entertainment". Personally, I could take the most perfect anime show and thrash it by saying things against Whig you can't say anything about. It's like saying "This show is such crap that I didn't gt pass the 10-minutes mark" and concentrate on the bad points.

Except that he usually has a point. You might disregard those points as unimportant to you on a personal level, but he has a point nonetheless.

Yeah, and I can agree on some. Anyway, I don't really like anime blogs to begin with. The only ones that I visit are not for the opinions, such as 8thsin's (who's unfortunately gone...) or Kurogane on some occasions. I spend more time in forums, and most people should have noticed that. :lol:

BTW, is it me or there aren't many good openings for this season? SAO's was fine, KoiChoco's only good IMO because I ended up listening too many times and maybe Accel World, though it's more like from last season's. Haguure Yuusha, Horizon (though its endings could be awesome), Boku wa H, Dog Days, Campione, Jinrui....none are quite good. Arcana Famiglia was fine. Though compared to last season's shows, including Sankarea, Tasogare OtomexAmnesia, Korezon OTD., Hypuka..maybe I could even include Nyaruko...point being is that I liked last season's openings better. That's all.

The opening for Campione was quite good visually, but the song was utter crap, lols, and so was the ending song. =.=

Isn't the ED song great? I mean, the irony...


(and that one part at the end of the OP vid is a sin as well. You just don't do that, you really don't)

I don't know which part you're referring to, but the part where godou shows up while erica is battling athena is just plain weird, shows up, looks at the other 3 girls, and they suddenly get red when he leaves while ena is cheering on him, lily's expression is especially an overreaction, it's like their bitches who see hot guys and squeal like the bitches they are. =.=

In somewhat relevant news, I started watching the original Saint Seiya. And it's surprisingly bloody for a kids show. First 5 mins someone's ear is cut off, blood every where, it was not a pretty sight.

I've just noticed a surprisingly large number of Light Novel Adaptations this summer, I don't think we had this many before in one season;

Kono Naka ni Hitori, Imouto ga Iru!
Hagure Yuusha no Estetica
Dakara Boku wa, H ga Dekinai
Campione!
Oda Nobuna no Yabou
Sword Art Online
Kokoro Connect
Kyoukai Senjou no Horizon II



I've pretty much watched all of them except for Estetica- that being said, I can't imagine my interest in Dakara/Dekinai and Imouto being sustained much longer- Coincidentally they're also the only ones I didn't have a compulsion to jump into their light novels yet. How about you guys?

I only watched SAO and Kokoro Connect. I might watch Campione to get an idea of the story if I have time. I think Hagure and H Dekinai are too facepalming for me to continue watching. Well, I'll actually rank Hagure higher since it made me laugh a lot but still, not my cup of tea. I think the story of Oda Nobuna is kind of dumb and nonsensical (in terms of the protag's behavior, which seems forced and illogical to me), and moreover it's not even funny, but I still watch it for Itou Kanae (seiyuu does make a difference :lol: ). 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 ^^;
