Fall 2014 Thoughts

So I Thought "Ah, Screw It" (Spoilers <3)

I do realize that it's been a pretty extended period of time since the last post, so I decided that it was finally time to post. However I still wanted to make it an anime centered one. Throughout many executive decisions I finally came to the conclusion that I would just write a post on the anime that I have already started.

Here's my MAL for reference, so let's start with the list of what I'm watching right now (nothing's changed, but if you weren't here for the last post then this will be helpful):

Akame ga Kill!
Amagi Brilliant Park
Daitoshokan no Hitsujikai
Danna ga Nani wo Itteiru ka Wakaranai Ken
Grisaia no Kajitsu
Inou-Battle wa Nichijou-kei no Naka de
Kiseijuu
Log Horizon 2
Orenchi no Furo Jijo
Sword Art Online II
Trinity Seven

Akame ga Kill!

I'm on and off with this anime. Sometimes it's incredibly good and I find myself just dying until the next episode, and sometimes the episode leaves a pretty bitter taste in my mouth. The second half of the season has started and the story is being driven somewhere, so I'm expecting grand things.

Characters... I'd like to say that they're getting somewhere (maybe they are, I have no clue), and hopefully that'll help improve the quality of the show. But as of now I think Akame ga Kill! will be another anime that I will eventually forget.

Best Girl: Chelsea

Amagi Brilliant Park

My favourite this season by a long shot. Episodes are well done and leave me longing for more each time. The comedy is great and well executed, but the anime still retains a serious-ish feel to it (at least to me, for others it might just be plain laughs).

Amagi Brilliant Park is an anime that focuses on an amusement park on the verge of being shut down and how the MC (Seiya Kanie) becomes the manager of the park in an attempt to save it. There's a lot more to it, but that's what I'll say without giving away too much.

Characters are pretty much great right now. Tons of room for growth and development. Amagi Brilliant Park is doing a spectacular job this season, and I sincerely hope that it will continue to do so.

Best Girl: Isuzu Sento

Daitoshokan no Hitsujikai

"Oh hey it's a VN adaption, so it's gonna be bad."

MC is a boy who likes books, put plainly. He likes them because each book he reads sheds light on otherwise dark parts of the world. I'm assuming this, but he gains an intuition from some sort of childhood encounter with one named the Shepherd and thus saves a random girl from a train.

Art looks somewhat different, but the show itself isn't bad at all. It's mildly entertaining at times and it's a good way to spend the season, as long as you enter without expecting something amazing from Daitoshokan no Hitsujikai.

Best Girl: Tsugumi Shirasaki

Danna ga Nani wo Itteiru ka Wakaranai Ken

The reason why I picked up Danna ga Nani wo Itteiru ka Wakaranai Ken was simply because it was airing and was a short (each episode is roughly four minutes long). It makes me smile from time to time and is a great show to pick up this season. It's basically the story of a recently-wed wife and otaku husband and the comedic parts of their life together.

Best Girl: Kaoru Tsunashi


Grisaia no Kajitsu

When I watch Grisaia it feels like Shaft when I actually liked it. The style is clean and nice, and while I have never played the VN it feels like a good adaption (although it's most likely the common route right now). The funny bits are funny, but something that hasn't been touched on much is the darker side of the anime (that was highly emphasized in PVs).

All the characters are likable and the series is quite entertaining for me this season. Definitely one of the better anime for fall, so I can't wait to see how it goes on.

Best Girl: Ama-nee

Inou-Battle wa Nichijou-kei no Naka de

Silly anime about the Literature Club gaining super powers (some powerful and some not so much) that tries to be serious at times. Comedy ranges from decent to good, but the more "serious" scenes are not so likable. There seems to be a underlying plot that's being hidden for the time being, but I don't care much for those.

All in all, pretty nice stuff.

Best Girl: Tomoyo Kanzaki

Kiseijuu

For two episodes aired Kiseijuu (also known as Parasyte) has been extremely interesting. It's an anime that follows the life of a MC who has his right hand replaced by an alien sort of thing. The show has set itself up for greatness, and we'll just have to see how well it executes the events leading up to greatness.

Characters are fresh and I'm enjoying the overall feel of the anime. This one will probably end up being one of the better bunch.

Best Girl: Satomi Murano

Log Horizon 2

Weeeeeee, here we go with the second season of Log Horizon. So far the episodes have been pretty good, and the way they're set up are great (as usual). I don't really notice anything too different, even with the studio change, but nevertheless I'm enjoying the second installment. New people have been introduced to kind of freshen up the series and it still remains interesting.

Best Girl: Akatsuki

Orenchi no Furo Jijo

No it's not yaoi.

Best Girl: waht

Sword Art Online II

Now that the Death Gun arc is finally over we can get to the good stuff. Supposedly the next arc is a really good one, and with the way last episode ended it looks like it. I finally get to see more Asuna and also Shino with ANIMAL EARS AND TAIL WOOOOOOOOOOO.

But yeah, the added Asuna is nice. Don't much care for the other girls besides Asuna and Shino.

Best Girl: Shino


Trinity Seven

Here's a little poem that I've come up with on the spot:

MC looks like a monkey
He watches girls hold in pee
He rips off your clothes to see
All for this girl named Hijiri

This anime is straight-up great if it fits your tastes. To other people it may just seem "meh", but to others it's just a really fun anime. Thanks Trinity Seven, for being that really fun anime this season. And also thanks for the huge harem, loaded with girls with varying stereotypes.

Best Girl: Lilith-sensei

Time To Sleep

Nighty night beautiful baby girl (no I'm kidding I know you're a guy).

I'm an 8 for tonight.
