Hi I watched Shinsekai after seeing it on your favourites list (I had to choose a users favourite for the 2016 anime challenge) I'm actually left quite speechless by how amazing this anime is. I just wanted to thank you haha

Have you ever heard about World Trigger mangá? They say that it could be the new Naruto and, honestly, I love it. Maybe you can think that its boring in the very beggining, but its just 'cuz they try to explain the manga's universe.

How is he not a broken person? Everyone tells him what he does is abnormal. Archer and Rin have both tried to tell him.

You can see just how messed up he is in Fate when he saves someone the scene is even called 'distortion (I).

When Shirou runs up to save Saber in episode 3 when he could be blasted away by Archer is called Distortion (II).

The scene where Caster has Tiaga is Distortion (III).

The scene where Shirou yells at Gil before Illya dies is Distortion (IV).

I'm sure Rin will have something to say about his antics at the castle.

When you find out another major reason why he's like this you'll realize he has to be broken as hell for that to be his logic.

Why do you hate Shirou? He just wants to save people, even the people who can't be saved (and this is his downfall atm). He is self aware of the fact that he will run into situations and basically suicide while not being able to do anything. The anime kind of skips this part of his character for whatever reason (the common excuse is visual story telling).

Yes I like Shirou overall as a character, especially UBW Shirou. Fate Shirou is good, don't care all that much for HF Shirou.

This is something cut from the 1st episode: http://imgur.com/a/bTzk6

This is what he thinks before he goes out to scream this episode: http://imgur.com/8tzE9Vw

This is what he thinks before he jumps down to save Rin earlier in the show: http://i.imgur.com/G5ZceLB.jpg

This is him thinking about his ideal (this monologue was heavily butchered in episode 9 of the show): http://i.imgur.com/0ilQS3v.png

Ooh, it's nice to get some actual feedback on my entry this time. Thank you. ^^

Incoming wall of text.

Took a little longer than I expected, but I finally have this season's preview finished. http://myanimelist.net/blog.php?eid=729049

Actually got quite a bit on my watching list this season. It really looks promising. The 3 I'm mainly looking forward to will be Amagi Brilliant Park, Trinity Seven, and FSN UBW.
-Kenshin- Sep 20, 2014 1:44 PM
Oh yeah, it has been a while. Sorry for not replying to your last comment, I get sidetracked too easily. >.<

Better than I expected, but still kinda mediocre. The two highlights of the season for me are Free: Eternal Summer and Zankyou no Terror. Ao Haru Ride and Barakamon were also really nice to read. ^^ Hanayamata's not too bad either, it's really jumpy and cute. :3 Didn't like SAO II nearly as much as the first. Illya 2wei didn't turn out to be what I anticipated it to be either, but it was still good in some sense. Akame ga Kill's my least favorite due to excessive shounen tropes and a lackluster plot. I do appreciate White Fox trying to make it least somewhat bearable on their end to make it more entertaining as an anime, but I just don't like these kinds of series. >.<

Oh, I see. I'll definitely be getting to my blog sometime today for this upcoming season. I suppose there isn't that much time left before it starts, and a lot of my friends have their PVs started already. XD

Better late than never. Thanks! :)

I am actually neutral on the adaptation as for now, what I'm saying is it's clear that the show itself is not trying to fully be serious. It has serious parts but there are so many comedic moments spread out in between that it's obviously done deliberately. Which is why I said there's nothing wrong with it pretending to have a dark setting. It really isn't pretending, they just aren't being super serious about it.
-Kenshin- Jul 21, 2014 7:57 AM
Oh damn, I hate when that happens. It's happened to me a few times as well. >.<

Ending felt too smooth? Lol, well, usually that's a good thing for emotional works. I personally prefer it when sad stories have a happy ending. Leaves a sweet aftertaste. I am definitely looking forward to finishing that though. Only thing I'm waiting on for Nagi is a full BD release. The series looks great enough to warrant that kind of quality, so I'll be putting off until it's out.

Oh yeah. Sunrise has had a really wide array of good quality anime, so it's definitely something I'd recommend prioritizing.

From what I've seen so far, this is probably the best overall lineup I've seen for Summer. Not saying much since Summer is typically the worst season of the year, but this one in particular is actually not too bad at all.

Well, for the "it'll get better soon" shows, it's usually safe to assume that if an anime does at least a few things right, it's opportunity to get better will be significantly higher than others. One thing that gives a clear indicator for Akame ga Kill is its character cast. They have a lot of life to them, the central cast is large, the animation is smooth, and the entertainment value overall is not below average, and it hasn't has any serious flaws to its writing. This is the kind of thing Steins;Gate had going for it. It didn't do anything amazing in the first half, but it didn't do anything bad either, and it became one of the most exciting anime I've had the pleasure to come across. Then there are series that are so bad that they have no hope at all of getting better. Mahou Sensou's the first thing that comes to mind. >.> I seriously should have dropped that by episode 1, but I waited it out until 3 because this is the type of anime I wanted to see get better, but it was horrendously boring.

Ya know, I think I will pick up Zankyou no Terror. I've been keeping tabs on the show with this forum I've been frequenting lately and they've all had some things to say that made it seem promising. I still don't like the fact that there aren't any famous seiyuu, but they can always make a turn around at some point in their career (I've seen it happen before). The anonymity of the writer is still bothersome, but I suppose he/she has his/her reasons.

Good call. Unless a series does something to make it an easy recommendation (like ZnT), I'd prefer to not hear about it. I follow enough "decent" anime as it is already, lol. I'm only looking for awesome series that don't make it on my radar.

Don't worry. I don't mind lengthy comments. They may take a little bit of time to get to, but I like have long conversations over short ones. They tend to have more meaning to them and are more fun to reply to. :)

Oh yeah, no problem. It really does have a nice thing going for it when you aren't too busy looking at it superficially. I still don't get where the yaoi thing comes into play. Free has slight yaoi undertones at best.

I think that's understandable given that you only have a few anime and manga that are completed. Once your list grows, I bet that our compatibility will dwindle.

I really like your blog about your summer Anime thoughts and ratings! Always thought to do something similiar like this for myself since I intend to give a show a rating after I finished it and always have the feeling that it is based only on the ending of the show, but not for the whole thing.

It's pretty rare for me to write a comment so I'm a little embarresd but I really like your way of keeping track of your ratings and impressions! Just thought I let you know :3 Sorry for bothering you.
-Kenshin- Jul 11, 2014 10:57 PM
Yeah, no joke on the bumpy record. She can write brilliant works like Asukara and Toradora, and she's also capable of writing train-wrecks like Black Rock Shooter and Aquarion Evol. She's a very talented writer, but extremely inconsistent. I've gotten better at anticipating her writing style though, so I'm now able to tell within 2-3 episodes whether her work will be worth finishing or not. I had a hunch that the M3 anime that aired last season wouldn't be good, and it doesn't seem like I'm off on that mark. Her best writing is with SoL and romance. Turns out she's capable of churning out plotsy stuff with anime like WIXOSS as well (which is a first for her).

Lovely Complex, eh? I've heard that one mentioned a few times. Seems like a nice shoujo read. I like shoujos. ^^ Soredemo had some occasions where it did really well and wrote the characters in ways that were not badly executed, yet I can't help but feel like it didn't really do anything that set itself apart from the rest. The anime never did anything to help me anticipate the next episode, nor did it try to be engaging with its plot. The characters (namely the Sun King) were funny and some of the jokes were pretty well-played, but that's pretty much it. The simplicity of the characters is probably what killed it most for me. With the development being too predictable, it was hard to appreciate the times for when it did focus on the romance. This anime takes itself way too seriously, and I prefer the cutesy kind of romance.

Put in one hour per day, and you'll have it covered in a month! That's how I did it starting out, and then I did one hell of a marathon. Once I hit 76, I went through the remaining 150-ish episodes in less than a week. You can pace yourself a little more once you've hit 26, just don't expect to marathon it. One of the biggest weaknesses with Sunrise is that they will sometimes handle their anime very sloppily in the beginning. They've done it for Gintama, Code Geass R2, Accel World, and Horizon in the Middle of Nowhere. But if you look at my blog entry for it, you'll notice that they're all in my top 20. They may start off weak, but they do eventually pick up.

Yeah. It'd be great if writers and directors could be more consistent. Might just be because of how anime is being marketed nowadays. The medium is a lot more popular than it use to be, so you may not see as much of the charm that you use to from it regardless of the staff on board. Staff lists are still a good utility for looking at anime, it's just not a perfect one.

Speaking of which, seems like most of the shows I've looked at before the season started are lining up really well with my expectations. The only reason Akame ga Kill is at the bottom of my list is because of how its set up to be a hypey anime. Usually, these shows will need 2-3 episodes before they start getting better, but it has everything it needs to jump to the top of my list. Surprisingly enough.

Hanayamata exceeded my expectations. I was expecting light-heartedness and a heavy emphasis on cuteness. The girls are adorable, but it's a little more jumpy than it is light-hearted. I actually do not mind that at all since it's a different change of pace from the usual.

Remember what I said about series writers being essential and not announcing one usually leads to downfall? Well, I took a glance at Barakamon, regardless, and it would seem like this is falling in the rare exceptions category. That's the thing too, you have to really know the director in order to expect anything from him in terms of writing. Because of the way .hack//Quantum was handled, I was actually expecting a little more from Tachibana when directing Barakamon, and his style works well enough to make up for a less renown writer. But yeah, turns out the series writer has only ever worked on Bottom Biting Bug, Chikasugi Idol, and Glass Mask shorts. Kinema Citrus is a very new studio, so it's not unusual to see them using up-and-coming writers for their anime, and that's the main reason I made an exception for this series. But as to whether or not this writer does well on his work is yet to be determined. He shows promise, let's hope he can follow up on it. The main thing you want to look for with anime writers when analyzing a non-plot anime is character complexity, pacing, and scenario transition. If the anime does poorly in that regard, but has a great atmosphere, then it's basically the director making up for the incompetency of the writer.

Say what you want about it's bishounen qualities, but Free is a damn good sports anime. The two central characters (Haru and Rin) are written very well and both have a fantastic backstory for their childhoods. The development at the end was very touching, and it's refreshing to see how they interact with each other in this sequel.

I don't usually have a life I promise hahaha
I normally sit at my laptop all day, and if I want to spice things up I'll crawl over to my PS3... haha.

Paris was lovely! I visited a lot of the landmarks and went into La Louvre... and I went to the Pokemon Centre too, which was only there for 3 weeks.
The hotel was just really dirty and in a creepy area. There were cockroaches in the bathroom and I didn't want to shower there because they were all right beside the shower. :c There was also a bug on the bed... I only saw one, but still... gross.

Hahaha oh no, that's awful! Sorry you went through that. :( I don't think I've ever had food poisoning... I just tend to get sick when I'm stressed, I think. Stupid immune system.

It used to be just because of anime, but now it's also because I want to visit Japan and possibly work there one day. Plus I'm generally quite interested in languages because I like to be able to communicate with people. When I was younger and went abroad, I didn't know any other languages so I felt really nervous and unsure, so now I try to know at least the basics before I travel.



It's so difficult to start things for some reason... but you're right, I need to clear my PTW list too.

That's true, I really should stop being lazy about it. XD I've often read the mangas of a lot of animes I've watched, so I normally read shounen stuff... but I've also read some shoujo manga, although I rarely watch shoujo anime.
I just really like fighting/martial arts and fantasy sort of stuff.

Oh, I didn't know that! I plan to read Claymore, so it'll be interesting to see how they compare.
I like xxxHOLiC. I don't like CLAMP's art style, but I think the story makes up for it. I'd say give it a try, although it's a little strange or underwhelming in places.

Oh I watch them mostly on TV usually :/ sorry if I'm not much help here but HQ Subs usually come out about an hour after airing for that.
-Karoshi- Jul 7, 2014 3:29 PM
I agree, Nagi no Asukara is definitely one of the most beautiful anime I have ever watched. They had so many great plot twists and development.

I haven't watched all that I wanted to watch yet for the summer season, but I'm pretty satisfied so far from what I watched. Same with you, I have high hopes for Aldnoah Zero and Akame ga Kill.
-Karoshi- Jul 5, 2014 11:56 PM
Hopefully KanColle will be released soon, it's one of my most highly anticipated series to watch. And yeah, I do plan to watch all but I don't know if I can, let's see how it all plays out.

For my top five, it would be Sidonia no Kishi, No Game No Life, Black Bullet, Isshuukan Friends, and Gokukoku no Brynhildr. The different series you have at your top are also also pretty good, I especially enjoyed Soredemo Sekai wa Utsukushii for the music and romance and Bokura wa Minna Kawaisou for the comedy and animations.

I admit, there are some shows that I don't like, but sometimes I'm still generous giving those scores since many people put lots of effort bringing the anime to the audience so at least they should be credited somewhat.
