Assuming that no deal is made between BCTF and the government over the weekend, tomorrow will be the last day of school. I'm glad that it is, and yet not glad. It feels like there were a bunch of things that I never finished. Things that I only did with half the effort I should have put into it. But there's really no point in thinking about these things right? ^^
Next year we'll be grade 10s. I don't even know.
I've Stopped Trying To Figure Out Life
Well, no. As I typed out that title, I was still trying to figure out something.
My initial thought was what you would think of the title. I've stopped trying to figure out life. Some people would boldly claim that I have simply given up on life and now I'm not the "exciting" person I used to be. I started thinking up a counter to that, and then that brought me to my not-too-long-ago "realization" that life is full of contradictions and conflicts. So yes, I was still trying to analyze and figure out life. Sad right?
Confusing.
Maybe I should take psychology.
THOUGHTS ON EVERY SPRING ANIME I AM WATCHING (SPOILER ALERT)
A while ago I typed up a post with a little "my thoughts on this anime are..." for every anime I was going to watch for spring. My list had consisted of:
Black Bullet
Dantalian no Shoka
Date a Live II
Escha & Logy
Isshuukan Friends
Gokukoku no Brynhildr
Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei
Mekakucity Actors
Nagi no Asukara
Nisekoi
No Game No Life
But if you want to know how that's come along... well, it changed into this:
Ongoing:
Black Bullet
Bokura wa Minna Kawaisou
Gokukoku no Brynhildr
Haikyu!!
If Her Flag Breaks
Isshuukan Friends
Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei
Mangaka-san to Assistant-san
Mekakucity Actors
Nanana's Buried Treasure
Nisekoi
No Game No Life
Completed:
Little Busters!
Little Busters!: Refrain
Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions
By now you might be wondering why I have bolded some of the listed anime. Weeeeell, those are the ones I'll be sharing more involved thoughts on, and the italicized ones will be the ones I'm going to briefly mention. You may leave now if you wish to not endure my terrible opinions.
More like Loli Bullet, am I right?
OP is pretty good. Wouldn't mind listening to it, but it's nothing spectacular. ED is slightly better (in my opinion), but still, meh.
You know, with the spring anime closing up (everything except for Mahouka, GG), I can start to expect stuff to start to hit the fan soon. And the latest episode of Black Bullet somewhat delivered, leaving a nice little cliff for me to jump off of.
The show is absolutely chock full with a large variety of lolis... but there's no reason to really hate that. I mean, I'm not saying I'm a lolicon or anything, but it's not like I'm going to purposefully look for a reason to hate these girls.
Putting lolis aside, the show is good, to blatantly put it. While I feel that it has kind of dropped in terms of story quality (compared to the beginning), I'm hoping that the last few episodes will be nice.
Do I want a second season? No. Would I watch if there was one? Yeah, sure, why not? I enjoyed Loli Bullet as much as the next guy.
Also, I would like 100% more Sumire.
As a huge fan of the first season, I was seriously hyped up for this. But you know what. DO YOU KNOW WAHT?
They did it. THEY REDUCED MY KAWAII YOSHINO INTO A SUPPORTING CHARACTER.
*sigh* I-I mean... just like. Why?
Nevertheless I still somewhat looked forward to this season, because you know, I still have Kurumi to count on. But then you know what? SHE DOES NOT APPEAR FOR HALF THE SEASON. What happened to my beautiful generic harem/comedy that I dearly loved so much?
Seriously though, the second season is definitely not special. I'm honestly only watching out of loyalty to the first season (and to Yoshino) and do I want another season? Definitely not. In fact, I have already somewhat fallen behind on the episodes, so it's pretty close to being dropped.
Escha & Logy
Ew no. I couldn't handle the voice acting for Escha. Like, no. Please. Story wasn't engaging enough to get me through either. Blush marks were unreal.
Even now I feel like I spelt it wrong. Anyhowww...
Overall Brynhildr has been an enjoyable watch. It features magical witches (PLOT TWIST: THEY'RE NOT LOLIS) and at first, you know, I'm kind of skeptical.
When the show is not focusing on sexual jokes, the frequent blush on Kuroha's face, or Kotori's oppai (note: not affected by gravity), it is trying to tell a darker story. For me, it doesn't completely work out. Do you know what this reminds me of? An anime called Elfen Lied. I mean, both have girl MCs that have magical powers, and both contain nudity and blood.
Oh wait. ARMS.
Jokes aside, I do like the show. It's probably one of my most favourite this season, and I'm looking forward to seeing the end.
Why was the OP changed 10 EPISODES IN!?
Haikyu!!
Oh, a sports anime. I haven't watched one since I DROPPED KUROKO.
Might as well.
Wait, this isn't that bad.
Holy, I actually play volleyball.
No wonder this is heaven.
NO NO NO NO NO. I CAN'T. LIKE. GOD.
I honestly don't know why I picked this up halfway through the spring season. I mean. What. Please.
Stereotypical characters. Stereotypical MC lead. Guy's a wimp too. Shame. It wouldn't be nearly as bad as I consider it to be if it wasn't trying to be SO GOD DAMN SERIOUS. I mean, MC is breaking down half the time and he literally NEVER SMILES. If If Her Flag Breaks (haha double ifs) was just your standard romcom, I probably wouldn't be flaming it as hard as I am now. By the way, voice acting is so moe I can't even.
And yes, there is a trap. I have no idea if it's a Haganai thing, or if it's actually a guy.
Originally I had bolded Isshuukan Friends because I genuinely enjoyed the anime. The voice acting is great (hell, anything is if it's not the flag anime), and the characters are interesting from the get go. The show focuses on the life of a girl who loses all memories of her friends every Monday. Of course MC will step in and do something, and eventually MC and girl become friends.
The two stand the test of time and overcome numerous problems while growing closer. The show just teases me because I'm waiting for my ship to sail, but then BOOOOOOOMMMMM! In comes episode nine. Everything hits the fan and I just can't stand to watch my ship slowly sink before it EVEN SETS SAIL.
Yes, Isshuukan Friends is fabulous. Sunday is a beautiful day.
EAFKJAKDFJA. Anybody who has only watched the first season and says bad things about LB should just crawl into a corner and cry. I won't say anything if you bash after watching both seasons, but really, the two go together.
First season there seems to be a Clannad type of thing going on.
Oh wait. Key.
MC enters school. MC meets girls. Main love interest is shown. MC helps every girl in their respective arcs and there's a really happy ending where everybody gathers to lose their first baseball game (it only took them 26 episodes). Nothing too different from Clannad.
BLAM. ENTER HOLY GRAIL OF A SECOND SEASON. Yes, Little Busters!: Refrain is mind blowing. It's a great companion to the first season, but it takes a much much much darker look on things and you figure out what really went on behind that rosy highschool life. I started to hate the very person that I loved in the first season, and even the MC I started to dislike (even though I thought he was a girl in the first few minutes).
Hate flung. Minds blown. Tears shed. Sighs sighed. What a great series.
Kurugaya best girl. Rin second place. Komari so much moe.
Really good anime to just make you all-around happy (of course I can't say anything about the second season, because I have not watched it yet :/). Characters were really dynamic and interesting, and it had the option to go the really dark and deep route (which I wouldn't have minded), but it didn't.
MCs are all really likable and I have no problems with the OTC. Can't wait to start the second season.
I think a huge thing that needs to be stated before I continue with my Nisekoi thoughts is to CLEARLY STATE WHO BEST GIRL IS.
KINPATSU CHITOGE WINS. SHE ALWAYS WILL.
She is seriously best girl. Plain old Onodera just doesn't do the (Sakura) trick. I mean, how can you not enjoy the beautiful colours she proudly wears on display? Red. Blue. Golden yellow. EVERYTHING ABOUT HER IS GREAT.
So she got the ending right? Right?
NO. SHE DID NOT. THIS IS A MUTINY DEMOCRACY POLITICAL WARFARE PIGLET ABOMINATION. WHAT DID SHE DO TO NOT DESERVE IT?
I just... I just don't get it. Why-why would this happen? I mean... just, why?
Nisekoi was very enjoyable to the second last episode. Actually, no, I restate that. It was enjoyable to the the very second before Raku agreed to go up on the roof with Onoderpa ( yes, ONODERPA).
Otaku brother and loli immouto go on an adventure in a world where everything is decided by games. Sounds wonderful. Looks amazing. And so far, it has been everything that I have ever hoped for.
While the 12-episode season is closing up, I can hope that there will be another, as seeing that it'd be a rush job to show Blank dominating every other race in a matter of two episodes.
I love No Game No Life with a passion. It has wit, comedy, and JIBRIL. It's hard to explain. Definitely one of the best anime in spring.
I Don't Know How You Managed To Stick Around
That was a really long post, and I really am not exaggerating. Sorry if I kept you, but I hope that you enjoyed my humble thoughts and opinions. Remember, that's all that they are. THOUGHTS AND OPINIONS. You have yours too <3
Later peeps. I'm off the Blogger world for now. Until the next post *tips imaginary hat* I'm an 8 for tonight.
