[W] Spring 2012: What I watched
Obligatory Masou Shoujo
Yet another late post. I thought about skipping this and just combining it with my winter and spring wrap up but I decided against that because the format would have been a mess.
Fate Zero Season 2
And I shall name this special move “Mr. Sparkles”
This is second half of Fate Zero, it picks up where it left off in December. It’s my most anticipated show of the season and it did not disappoint.
Kore wa Zombie Desu ka? of the Dead
But I can’t help it!
Second season of Kore wa Zombie Desu ka? and another show that I was quite looking forward to watching. I was sad to find out that it was only 10 episodes long.
Jormungand
Man… kids these days complain that they get shit presents for Christmas. Is a machine gun not good enough for you?!
I picked up this action series on a whim because I was in a mood for something Black Lagoon-ish. The art style takes a bit getting used to but the story is decent enough to follow.
Sakamichi no Apollon
Just like Kaouru, I got hooked in with that scene
I heard that both the director and the composer for Cowboy Bebop were teaming up again for this show so I couldn’t help but check this out. This is a story takes place in 1966 Japan and it’s about two guy’s friendship and the bonds they forge over their mutual passion for jazz music. Did I just say jazz? Hell yeah I did. I’m looking forward to the sound track.
Sankarea
Ranko could use some love too
I read a couple of chapter from the manga and decided to give this one a shot. Nothing really ground breaking story-wise, just the main love interest being a zombie. The character designs are interesting enough for me to watch.
Tasogare Otome x Amnesia
Ghost trolltits Yuuko at work
I expected this to be something like Another or Higurashi but I never expected it to be more light hearted. Sadly the budget for this show is definitely on QUALITY levels.
Accel World
Would Haruyuki survive if Kuroyukihime and Chiyuri went after each other’s throats?
I was initially hesitant to pick this up because Haruyuki’s voice actor was the same guy who voiced shoe Shu from Guilty Crown. I’m glad I decided to stick with it. Kuroyukihime is love.
Eureka Seven AO
G-monster cut off your arm? No problem, just bash it with said arm.
Is this a prequel or a sequel? Even some of the people who followed Eureka Seven weren’t sure. Honestly, I’m just watching it for the mecha designs, Fleur, and Elena.
Hyouka
Like a spider, she’s got Oreki trapped in her web of uh… hair.
It’s a KyoAni show and a mystery series to boot. This could end up either being good or bad. I decided that I’ll take the gamble and hope for the best.
Saki Achiga-hen
A younger version of Nodoka? HHHNNNNGGGG
While not a continuation of the first Saki series, this one chronicles the progress of another school in the mahjong tournament. The biggest draw for me is the chance to see the original Saki cast. This new group of girls isn’t bad looking either.
Queeen’s Blade: Rebellion
I haven’t watched the first episode so here’s a random pic of Ymir
Obligatory download and backlog because I’ve seen the first season and backlogged the second. Will I ever get around to watching this?
Shining Hearts ~Shiawase no Pan~
Shiny Bread Anime: The Disappointment of Wisedog
I had high hopes for this show but ended up dropping this by the 2nd episode. Not even Tony Taka at the helm of this show’s visual department could save this. Now I can’t help but feel a bit of disappointment every time his artwork pops up on Danbooru.
Now that that’s done, it’s time to wrap up both Winter and Spring… if I ever find the time to do it.
